Thank you

Nikki & Steven React we love you guys and know shit happens. Btw you guys stay out the comments until we give you the all clear. Love you two❤️

Damn that was a clean cut when i first saw that i was like shit ok John Snow I C U lol.

Say it louder ! 👏

@@jayj4408 "JON" and the cut was so clean because it's valiryen steel

Riverdale tales - Valyrian ;-)

Duffy, Shit Broski, I didn’t read the comments when I wrote basically the same thing! I should of known someone else would have thought to reply that as well, 🤙🏼

Yes exactly, he learned that from Alliser in 4x09 to never hesitate when you make decisions like this also from Eddard Stark that whoever passes the sentence should swing the sword.

Honestly don't see the point of this comment since Steven & Nikki basically said the exact same thing, but that's okay haha. There's lots of comments like this for some reason.

100% agree. I actually would go further by saying beheading him was a very easy call.

Yes, but it wasn't as calculated as that explanation might make it sound. The tension was rising in the NIght's Watch from the beginning with two distinct groups being at each others throats constantly. The way i see it Jon was pissed, like really really pissed. He became Lord Commander and was still despised by his own men who took every possible occasion to speak up against him, because they thought he'd just take it. He tried to be diplomatic and give Ser Allisar Thorn a high position to appease the faction, yet had to remove the loudest mouth - Janos Slynt. A brilliant move to take back control of the situation. So when Janos ran his mouth again, because that's what the little shit always does, despite basically been given the mercy of "let's forget about what happened and get you to be useful for a change", all that frustration came boiling up just like it did for Robb previously. Also i am not sure as to how much Jon was aware of Slynt's involvement with Ned's death, since i haven't read the books and afaik the show is ambiguous on that issue. If he was, that would be a big reason to hold a personal grudge. Kit Harington played the shit out of that scene imo. You can almost feel the anger and the relief the beheading gave him. I just love it.

@@KaladinD I think Stannis also pushed Jon to learn that too.

The Cycling Canadian hilarious

I'd let that guy cut my head off

Ned’s beheading was smooth tho

Clean beheadings: The deserter in the first episode (by Ned), Ned Stark (by Ser Ilyn Payne), Karstark (by Robb)...the only butchered one was Rodrik by Theon.

That line also could come straight from history: www.amazon.com/Faithful-Executioner-Turbulent-Sixteenth-Century/dp/1250043611

I know!! They fought so bravely. And it was Jon who taught them how.

He could really use the extra allies, as well.

Taylor, that thought makes me sad.

Taylor McKevitt it’s sad because they’re alive in the books

*glen

That's so beautiful!

The showrunners said in the behind the episode that the reason she couldn't get rid of it was because it was a tool to get revenge. I ofttimes wonder if D&D even read the books.

My favourite scene on this episode. And a great part of the books.

Oh wow! That's really beautiful

Yup...ending slavery is Danny's primary purpose. The Throne is just a means to that end.

You're not wrong; she begins her story as property, essentially. But for Drogo falling in love with her, she'd be a "slave in all but name" still. She couldn't abide it when the Dothraki took slaves & she hasn't changed. I also like to think Daenerys is smart enough to know what she doesn't know. The show aged her up but she's only about 20 at this point.

Jon Sebring You're right

Reasons for Dany's reaction? Remember? Dany: How many slaves are there in Yunkai? Jorah: 200,000 maybe more. Dany: Then we have 200,000 reasons to take the city.

That is spot on.

And he also killed Robert Baratheon's illegitimate children. The youngest one of them was still an infant. Killed right in front of her mother. Jon Snow avenged those deaths.

I think the only other option Jon had was to give Janos Slynt a 2nd chance... but then he would have to make an example of the next insubordinate, to remind everyone that the Night's Watch duties are not optional. He would then lose THAT man... and still have Slynt around. It might be the better option to make the statement immediately, and only lose a dead weight jackass like Slynt. If you believe in a medieval society that uses capital punishment, then I think Jon employed it sensibly.

guys...jon had no other choice! Slynt refuse his comand, so he must die. So are the rules. The other reason why he have to do that is because he must show his strenght as the commander. And dont forget that everyone in GoT gets what he deserved. Slynt betrayed Ned and he was executed by beheading. So he dies the same way.

@@dwnkaomwn3953 I think it's a wonderful serendipity that he did in effect avenge those deaths but there is no proof Jon was aware of any of those things. He was dealing with a problem. Damn satisfying to watch 😎

I even wondered if he considers himself a married man now, too.

@Master Epps You are better than that 😜😂😘

I see it that Tyrion is fearful of another Shae-like scenario happening again, and refuses to let himself start down that path of repeating history.

Also betrayed his father but I’m not sure if John is aware of that

"Her courtesy is her armor" One of the many reasons why I love Sansa. I always say that this is her way in playing the game and it has been keeping her alive.

“Who better to command the black cloaks than a man who once commanded the gold cloaks, sire?” “Any of you, I would think. Even the cook.” - Stannis

Richard Lucas Slynt definitely had it coming. Thanks to Tyrion and Jon, Sansa’s wish came true.

Mathias Eriksson This line just shows what Nikki and Steven said about Stannis at 17:29. Davos is the one that goes smoothly, but Stannis just say his deals to the face. That's why they are a good duo though. Also, Davos is one of the few that don't flatter him, that's why Stannis chose him to be his hand.

I remember screaming at the tv when they left out the "fetch me a block" part. It was such a huge turning point in Jon's story arch in the books, and it really bothered me that D&D botched that.

Richard Lucas "Stannis had never learned to soften his speech, to dissemble or flatter; he said what he thought, and those that did not like it could be damned." - Maester Cressen Exactly. The reason Davos was made lord was because of his qualities as a man, not the matter of his birth. Davos would never have become Lord and Hand of the King under any other king than Stannis. I like that Stannis says what he likes. Davos was raised high for the exact same reason, he tells Stannis the truth. The hard truth. “For your onions and fish, I made you a knight once. For this, I am of a mind to raise you to lord.” This? Davos was lost. “I am content to be your knight, Your Grace. I would not know how to begin being lordly.” “Good. To be lordly is to be false. I have learned that lesson hard. Now, kneel. Your king commands.” This is the passage where Davos is made Lord and HotK.

LMAO me too

Elisabeth Larsen same here.

Yep

Same here

I dont even know what I'm going to do with my LIFE when these reactions end :(

Andalib Nizam THANK YOU!!!

100% I get that it's a little frustrating to see but people who watch the show tend to forget that the characters don't always know what we know about people and situations.

+Andalib Nizam *Dothraki It's one of those words that have no plural inflection.

I feel the same way. I really like their personalities and the discussions. There are a lot of GoT reaction channels but I stick with them :)

I especially like the way they discuss the episode a lot while they're watching. Following the episode always seems like their first priority, and their conversation about it is secondary -- which makes for really good videos. I'm saying this because I've seen other reactors whose chatter distracts them from the episode.

I agree wholeheartedly with Jojo

Thank you, that definitely does help make me feel better. 💜💜💜💜💜 - Nikki

@@UTU49 Ur definitely right. I don't like excessive talking during a show either. You miss so much when you talk all the time.

And in the end, he still knows nothing.

@@juliadextersame here! Ever since I've heard that quote I've been living by it and my life has been so much better living that way

He's also a baby killer, if I recall correctly.

Ditto!!! … and he killed the baby in the brothel without a second thought. Good riddance to coward rubbish.

Yes, Janos Slynt was a real threat, he could have drowned everyone, with the ponds of his own making...

Also Jon had to reinforce that the command of the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch is law. It wasn't so much that Jon beheaded Janos, though he got what was coming to him, but the Lord Commander executed a mutineer.

Oh hell YES. Hit the nail right on the head.

The thing is that she wants to change the entire culture of that one city, while in the Seven Kingdoms it wouldn't be so. Although, if she tried to start changing the culture of the Seven Kingdoms she would find even more push back since she wouldn't be dealing with slaves using daggers and spears, but with lords that have fully equipped armies.

That's true as well.

Exactly Travis.

She's learning the lessons Robert Baratheon never did. Conquering is easy, ruling is hard.

Travis Mattson Preaaaaaaach!

I drink my afternoon coffee, too while watching the video xD Here in Europe.

I'm in the UK and I like to save them for my break at work. I sit in the canteen with my earphones I and shut everyone else out. Yours and others help my shift go easily. Heaven.

From Bulgaria here. I am waiting for you after work, around 2 pm. I need something to fix my mood! :D

Whaaaaat... I am from Bulgaria as well :D

Well orders are orders if he dodnt obey he would of died long ago.

Spot on!

@@jcompton8507 Almost all of what you pointed out was reasons the people disliked the Mad King tho. Sure, many of the dragon lords had bad titles, but you also have to remember that by the time we are introduced to the story, the Baratheons have spent over a decade spreading anti-Targ propoganda. I would go into further detail, but obviously we would be entering spoiler territory then. Also, Jon Arryn convinced the Tullys and Starks to join the 3 families in marriage, (with the intent that Robert would later marry Lyanna) because of the rebellion. It is stated the weddings literally happened just before they marched to war. Not to mention some form of marital ties would likely have been formed between the Arryns, Starks, and Baratheons, considering that Jon, Ned, and Robert were life long friends, thanks to the younger two being fostered by the elder. And technically the Blackfyres were not people of Westeros, they were a lesser branch of the Targaryen family, led by a Targaryen bastard, Daemon.

Alex - In your original post, you wrote "It is not well represented in the show, but most of the Westerosi people loved the Targaryen kings, excluding the Mad King," and in my first response I listed all of the Targ Kings that were not in any way "loved." By my count, there were at least 8 of them that were either unprincipled, sickly, crazy, downright cruel, or some combo of these. As for you saying in your reply that I was pointing out reasons people hated the Mad King, I didn't list a single reason. I could have talked about his uncleanliness. I could have talked about him raping his wife. I could have talked about how he liked burning people with wildfire. But I didn't. My post was intended to counter your claim that most Targs were loved (which I think it was 50/50), to offer perspective as to why the realm was tired of Targ leadership leading up to the Rebellion, and (though I forgot to make an argument of this specifically) to provide reasons for why at this time on the show (and in the book) I doubt Dany would have been well-received in Westeros. Why would she be when there were other better-supported contenders for the thrown (e.g. sweet Tommen married to Margaery or Stannis) from, at this point in time, more powerful Westerosi families. Also, I had meant in my first reply to counter your claim that the Mad King's children were loved. Firstly, Dany was not "loved" before she fled to Essos. No one knew her. She was born on Dragonstone after the Mad King was overthrown, and they fled the Kingdom while she was still a newborn. Also, Viserys was something like 8 years old when the Targ Dynasty fell and already showed signs of being petulant and having a personality like his father. No one in the realm thought to love him. He was a bratty kid. As for Rhaegar, while I do believe that those that really knew him loved him (e.g. the Kingsguard) and many in the realm may have thought the melancholy Prince was intelligent, a good fighter, and a man with a lot of potential, it should be noted that at least 4 of the 7 Kingdoms (the North, Stormlands, Riverlands, and Dorne) hated him for running off with Lyanna. The only Targ that I *do* believe was probably beloved was Rhaella. As for who was spreading anti-Targ propoganda? I think many highborn families were by the time the Mad King was ruling. As for the Rebellion itself, you suspect the Baratheons, but I don't think Robert was that smart. Plus, he was only something like 18 years old when the Rebellion started, and his parents were dead. Stannis was even younger, and Renly was like 6 years old. If I had to place my bet on the who was out to get the Targs, I would look more closely at Tywin Lannister - the former hand who had a falling out with the Mad King. The scene in Season 4 where Joff questions what Tywin was doing during the Rebellion makes me all the more suspicious that he was at least one of the puppetmasters. (I suspect Varys was up to something, too.)

The look of approval from Stannis

but that ruins the joke...

I was wondering what was a refresh ginger. I had to read it again oo

Haha

Pretty fOokin much yes !

He dug his own grave when he aided in the beheading of Eddard Stark (Ned) watch the show kid

I had Peter tingles

What's Pakistan like these days?

Watermelon Monsterman same as always

Thomas Paine Hahaha😂😂😂

Hello, fellow Pakistani :)

Alizeh Anwar Hi

Anything that isn't covered in this video is always in the next one - Nikki

Nikki & Steven React valar morghoulis

it was already our longest video we've done and I had major issues with it... shit happens some times.

@@miquelcanosasanteularia1678 Valar Dohaeris my friend

Right?!?! Plus the ones from the other videos, I want to make sure everyone is acknowledged - Nikki

@@NikkiStevenReact We/I am grateful you do but don't stress too much about it we know you read as much as you can

It's not side tracked this is crucial !

@@ChefNourhan Hey, I'm not going to argue with you or Daenerys. I'm on your side!😊

Another excellent actor who plays a character on GOT. I don't like his character like some do. I don't dislike at all. He just isn't among my top favorites.

I wonder if they still think that he betrayed Dany.

@@-hasamastersdegreeinwumbol8565 they had already clarified by this point that they'd been corrected about when he stopped snitching on Dany.

What an excellent comparison, very observant and well explained.

Jon hesitated when Janos begged for mercy, but then when Janos said he was afraid, always afraid, it was the final straw for Jon. You could see it in his face, one of my favorite "badass" moments of the series, well done by Kit Harrington.

@Spectator Agree! This was a scene that made Jon Snow stand out from the more typical hero protagonists that always do the right thing and show mercy, because the first few seasons that's the vibe I got from Jon Snow even though I still liked him, but I started to love him as one of my favorites in season 4 and even more so this season which are also the seasons I think Kit Harington's acting started to get even better

It's creepy enough as is. Tommen looks about 12.

She's 35?! Looks way younger! I would have said she was in her early twenties here. 😅

+SashaRicky - She wasn't 35 while filming this season.

Well, in the books they didn't sleep together, he was still a child

Yessssss my man, also good one Tommen smashing a 35 year old hottie ❤️‍🔥

Edgar Anolin PREACH!

Slavery is already banned in Westeros for generations, her taking the Iron Throne will not make any difference to her mission of freeing more slaves, infact it will be a hindrance.

She will never sit upon the throne noone will I can guarantee that

I second this

I would be careful, it might have spoilers but, after all the episodes are watched, yes it would be fun to see.

Yes! to this

I mean, they have to definitely at least react to Robert's Rebellion, A Dance with Dragons and Conquest and Rebellion. They don't have to keep the video under 10 minutes either and watch the whole thing because it's all available on RU-vid.

Yes,yes, yes

Look back at all the times Sansa has had offers of help, but through circumstances beyond her control or poor decision-making, have slipped through her fingers and she’s left with dubious people. Arya has never asked for help, but keeps falling in with people (by chance or her choice to help them) that are scary and good-hearted. Two sides of the same coin.

@@jessicahall7370 But who has actually offered to help Sansa that she could say were fully trustworthy? Nobody. She had to take the best and most reasonable option she could get.

Garden Rose: The Hound offered to help her and Brienne. I understand that she didn't trust them, but they offered.

@@aaronia8092 But this is what I mean by reasonable. Sansa can't just jump at any old opportunity handed to her, she has to be smart here. She has a famous name and recognizable features. She has to be hidden well. Who could have easily done this for her? As we saw, the Hound couldn't, and Brienne couldn't either. What could either of them have done for her? At least Arya had more common looks and could pass for a boy. Sansa would stick out like a sore thumb. 1. The Hound was drunk off his ass, threatening her and had frightened her many times in the past, despite saving her, he is Joffrey's sworn sword as well. Had I been in her position even as an adult, I'd be hesitant to go anywhere with him during a battle, much less as a 12 year old girl. Especially considering the fact that he was leaving to begin with, because Stannis was winning and Stannis needed Sansa alive and well for Robb to even consider bending the knee. 2. Brienne came up to her wearing Lannister armor and sword. That alone gives Sansa reasonable doubt to go anywhere with her. On top of it, Brienne is known for failing as King Renly's sworn sword, and failing to protect Catelyn Stark, Sansa's mother. Meanwhile, Sansa is surrounded by guards from the Vale with Littlefinger protecting her, no one having noticed her except Podrick, who was more familiar with her due to being around King's Landing. So like I said, Sansa may have had "opportunities," but some folks act like those choices were something to jump at. It's like being offered a ride to a meeting you're nearly late for, but the only choice you have is to ride in a creepy looking van with a suspect stranger or decide to call your boss, hoping they'll accept your absence without a loss of job. Sure, you have the opportunity to take the ride and make it on time, and you can't be 100% certain your boss won't flip, but that doesn't mean it's an obvious choice to make. You need to think smart and consider the possibility that while taking the ride may be a quick and "easy" way out your predicament, that it may not be a stable or safe option for you.

I understand. It's only in our perspective as viewers that we can say she might have been better with any of them than with Littlefinger. But she did what seemed better for her.

How much I loathe Janos Slynt, I understand why Janos didn't support Ned. He had to stay loyal to the crown (and Littlefinger, who paid the Gold Cloaks). After all, what Ned did was considered treason, so Janos would be stupid to support Ned's protest.

Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen being bastards was treason. He just chose the side that offered more money.
