Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 5 'Eastwatch' Part 1 REACTION!! 

Military targets only.

All Dany had to do was burn down the Red Keep . . . with Cersei inside. That's all. Tyrion was against that? Daenerys should have listened to Olenna. This is a fucking war, not solely a chess game.

@@elizabethmoore2684 and what of cersei’s handmaids, cooks, footmen, cleaners etc? What of the lannister troops and loyalists scattered through the rest of the city?

@@joealyjim3029 Late, but the Lannisters slaughtered Ellia and her children simply because they were the King's heir's family. War is messy and dirty and not honorable. Even the greatest leaders of our world got their hands dirty fighting wars.

😂😂💖

Terri, that's kind of what I was thinking too.

LOL!!! So sweet and funny …. PEACE.

Drogon*

komik mi

Cousin? i swear hes her nephew

@@lewissharman9400 Lool everyone is aware of that , i didn't even mention dany i was talking about drogon tho

@@salmawahbi9697 Ok i just misinterpreted what you said didn't think u meant Drogon sorry. Didn't see the "Drogon:" part

@@lewissharman9400 no noo it's Okayy you don't need to be sorry about it :) we're all here to discuss and share opinions

@@salmawahbi9697 woah girl we need more GoT fans like you.. mostly Dany fans are always torturing me in comments when i say something against her actions :/ i cant even have my own opinion in some discussion sometimes. sad world

And we can see what happens with that trust behind his back!

Yup, plus they are not fond of Targaryen's at all.@@vidyakurup9691

And that’s why I hate it and wish he hadn’t been so quick to do this. At least talk to Sansa, his advisors.

Lol Howboutno - Well, they did choose a Targaryen as king, even if unknowingly.

The ultimate risk of Jon not bending the knee is that Dany can obliterate the North if she chooses. She has three dragons and two large armies. It's no contest. That is, if the WW don't get there first. Trust or no trust, he ultimately has no choice. When Robb was named King in the North, a key argument was that the dragons were gone. Well, they're back.

Comment is on point.

Not to mention, the North chose Jon as their king. If he does something that the Northern lords don't like, they can easily abandon him and choose another king to lead them

Yep. Biggest point here is, there are still seven very much separate kingdoms. They weren't always united, in fact looking at the Westeros timeline, it's only very recently been united under a single king. Thousands of years of history and houses and kingdoms scuffling with each other, and there's only been a "king of the seven kingdoms" for the latest 300 years.

let's all add that the memory of the last Targaryen was NOT good. flip a coin for madness. These folks don't know Dany. Hell, I"M not sure what she is capable of either.

I agree with that all except Scotland being an English subject.

i looooove how she handled that scene as an actress. it was both perfectly subtle and obvious at the same time what Dany was thinking/feeling.

@@saradojcinovic6146 In the outline this scene was decribed as the couple arguing because of "not wanting her man venture into harm's way".

@@Dak1624 I've read it and honestly I think she nailed that message, it really did feel like it

And they TOTALLY didnt pick up on it like 50% of GoT fans.... smh

She is such a fantastic "face actor". Every emotion is on her face perfectly at all times.

Plus, she had to assert her leadership. A wannabe queen cannot keep waiting on her island while others do the conquering for her.

dany was doing exactly what theon did to ser rodrik. at least theon had to be pushed to it by other ironborn using the same exact reasons that dany fanbois now use to justify dany. if you were disgusted with what theon did, and now justify dany, you are a hypocritical dany fanboi by definition.

@@sittingnut1 so with logic she should sit on her hands and hope for the best?

Dany needed to show leadership and strength. You cannot be a queen if you do not display a show of power. She did the right thing, regardless if there were lives lost. Randell Tarley view is very bigoted and narrow mined; to keep him alive would be akin to cancer for he would, no doubt, start a revolt. Beside she had the Dothraki with her, didn't Jorah Mormont said to Dany in season 1 "The Dothraki follow only the strong", if she faltered she would have lost them too.

@@twokingz04 did i say that? fanbois like you imagine things due to confused air sloshing around in their empty brains due to all that bowing down and sucking(if not, do explain why you asked that idiotic question?). lol. dany is free to do evil contemptible actions, just like theon and others, to get what she desires.

I'm still hoping he is brought up next season : /

​@@ignitetheballoon9054 I'm still waiting for that conversation in 2023!!

Kristin Carter she’s personally never seen battle

@@jayeff15 She's riding Drogon, something she's done plenty, not on the front lines with a sword fighting hand to hand. She has to be out there with her troops, helping and giving moral support. We wouldn't expect anything else. Running away and hiding a la Joffrey at Battle of Blackwater? I don't think so.

Ramsey met Yara's squad toe to toe and shirtless.

@@robertrodriguez1964 Yeah, he outnumbered them and had his dogs. I was more referring to the battle situation, like this one was. During that instance, he stayed out of it.

@@robertrodriguez1964 It was a squad, not an army. And, he had her (& her men) backed into a corner. AND she still got out.

Cousin

@@fuzzy__dunlop you mean Aunt or Nephew?

Nephew.

@@chasingenigma7482 - no, I mean cousin.

If Daenerys is Jon's Aunt and Drogon is her child then Jon would be his cousin.

I think that's part of the brilliance of GRRM and the show, it exposes people's inner hypocrisy.

True, but does that make burning unarmed prisoners awesome, too?

@@KiltBill2 They are members of the opposing side in a war, I don't see how it's any different. They even got an opportunity to switch sides and save their lives - obviously something they are not opposed to, seeing as they just did it by switching from Olenna to Cersei. All of Stannis's crew that got burned alive didn't get that option.

Ikr

There is a big difference in killing in and outside of battle. But I think the hypocrisy I see is that no killing should be praised; not the killing in battle, nor the killing outside of it. I'm not saying Dany is wrong, but if you go "fuck yeah Dracarys or fuck yeah Wildfire" and think these are horrible just because it's not during a battle, you're an hypocrite.

Sara Dojcinovic “Fight the battles themselves.” Lmao, how is hiding on top of a Dragon any different to Ramsay hiding behind his men? Actually it’s worse because the Dragon is guaranteed to win. Jon stood with a sword against a cavalry charge ON HIS OWN. These situations are NOT comparable.

@@Longshanks1690 I see your point, but also to be fair, it's not completely valid, since you have to have in mind that everyone fights their battles the best way they can. Dragons are Dany's weapon, just like Longclaw is Jon's. The risk is still there for them anyway, more or the same. Jon has the advantage of his skill in battle face to face, and Dany has dragons, which aren't unkillable. But like I said, I get your point, and agree a bit with it since I do think that Jon is more 'head first in front of people' kind of guy, though you can't just say that Dany also doesn't fight her battles herself.

@@Longshanks1690 Yeah, guaranteed to win... umm what about ep6 tho? Jon HAD to stand up against a cavalry "on his own" because he was stupid enough to run to Rickon. Had he been really alone, he would have died. His army is what saved his ass, not his "talent" at swordfighting.

@@Longshanks1690 the difference between Dany and that dick is he fights for HIMSELF and cares for HIMSELF Dany tries her hardest to be a good and fair leader. She's learning yes but putting them in the same category is laughable 💀👀

They are both terrible as a King and a Queen. She's a conquerer and he is a soldier, that's what they are good at. Ruling is not their thing however.

how many Aegons were there? like 7?

@@jedenzet Five Aegons who were king, many more named Aegon who were never kings

jedenzet None of them were conquerors like the first. Which is what she’s being compared to

And now like aegon she's dead.... Off the field..in a throne room...

@@yourevilhalf1413 Yep But a the end she made it to conquer the seven kingdoms with fire and blood just like Aegon and his sisters Sadly now she lost the game of thrones, thing that Aegon invented

dany was doing exactly what theon did to ser rodrik. at least theon had to be pushed to it by other ironborn using the same exact reasons that dany fanbois now use to justify dany. if you were disgusted with what theon did, and now justify dany, you are a hypocritical dany fanboi by definition

@@sittingnut1 I don't use that reasoning, but Theon's scenario is not the same as Daenerys. Theon had no right to attack Winterfell where the Starks took care of him. Also, the Starks weren't at war with him. Daenerys is going back home to claim what is rightfully hers, and what never was Cersei's. What Daenerys did was like what Stannis did to Mance. He gave him a choice, and Stannis was a man of his word. Or like what Jon did to Janos. He gave him a choice and did not waiver when Janos pleaded for mercy.

"Daenerys and Jon have more in common than just blood. They both are willing to fight on the battlefield for their people." That is categorically false, Jon fights to protect the realm, he doesn't seek power, he is given that power by people around him. He was literally voted into leadership twice. Daenerys seeks power and takes it by force (by Dragons most of the time). Her primary objective since S2 was to reclaim Iron Throne and re-establish Targaryen Dynasty. The people she helped along the way was mostly a bi-product of her conquest. If she really wanted to help people, she could have stayed back in Meereen and help restructure the society (slavers bay) she "liberated", but she moved on to her another conquest (Westeros) leaving Meereen in the hands of a bunch of sell swords who clearly don't give a shit about that place. Both of their stories have some parallels, but their motivations are completely different.

@@harishrao2000 There reasons for fighting for their people is different, but both still fight for their people.

I wouldn't call what she is doing "fighting"

Right!, Dothraki follow strength above all. They follow their Khals/Khaleesi into battle.

"going into battle" has nothing to do with it. it was her first "battle". the Unsullied are with Dany cause she freed them. Dotrakis are with her cause she burned their leaders and she got them with trick magic. and she has dragons. respect is not part of that.

@@johnnyskinwalker4095 lolwut? The Unsullied "respect" her because she freed them. The Dothraki "respect" her because off her strength with the dragons

Cut the bullshit,no one gives a fuck about Dany if she doesn't have dragons, they fear her dragons,not her.

And to break it down to you,fear and respect are two different things.

I saw what you did there

@@akilmanwaring7767 haha yes smart comment xD xP

HAHAHA

@@musspuss Except the North isn't in a submissive position to Dany. Arguably they could beat her in open War. Not to mention they would be on the defense in Northern territory making it easier.

@@musspuss No, Jon back then was exactly like Dany, in that he was ignorant of power mchanisms beyond the wall. Mance couldn't heve knelt, because wildlings would have simply "disowned" him. Jon can't kneel, because northmen would take his crown along with his head.

@@jamtex2 Exactly. Jon, at the time, didn't have the weight of nearly half the realm depending on him to protect them & make decisions in their stead.

Alex James um no she has three dragons. She could burn everything down but she doesn’t because she isn’t Mad. Also the north just had a civil war, they’re broken down.

@@musspuss Jon said it to save Mance from being burned alive! Dany is the hypocrite, doing it for power! There is a difference! Everything Jon has done has been for others, where Dany's motivation has been to sit on the throne!

Jorah: But also their son and brother took the risk and healed my greyscale because my father was super kind to the tarly boy!

@Your Welcome Only Randyll. We' ve seen no evidence of Dickon ever being a dick to Sam.

He was still a dickon to him.

Jon: Samwell is my best friend in the world, and it sounds like he is getting his wish. Dany: His wish? Jon: To be a wizard.....

she should have done damage and leave. that way you look dominant and don't have to destroy whole houses. Because her destroying house yea she looks intimidating but she loses the propanda war to Cersei People of Westeros are not gonna like that.

dany was doing exactly what theon did to ser rodrik. at least theon had to be pushed to it by other ironborn using the same exact reasons that dany fanbois now use to justify dany. if you were disgusted with what theon did, and now justify dany, you are a hypocritical dany fanboi by definition.

@@sittingnut1 Theon was a Starks ward, so he was under their command and he betrayed them. Dany on the other hand never betrayed Tarly because they never been allies. Tarly on the other hand betrayed Tyrells because in the past they swore fealty to House Tyrell and they became their vassals.

@@sittingnut1 what? Dany gave Randall the options of jail or the wall as well and he refused. He told her she wasn't his queen and didn't have the authority to jail him. He wanted her to burn him. He was given 3 other choices and made the choice himself to die. Dickon then went against his father's wishes and chose to die with him. They were given options. They were given far more options than anyone else in any other Army has given anyone.

@@iloveyourunclebob i must lol@ you for your lie. dany, the failed queen of slave cities, loving mother of child killer drogon, entitled brat with low intelligence, etc, didn't give any option to tarlys. lies don't work in debates only facts do. now go worship the idiot dany. lol@ the fool

@@iloveyourunclebob far more options ? She literally said surrender or die. none if them are really options in war and more over Dany can't lead ,I mean we saw how ruling in mereen worked right?

That was what Jaimie's armour was made from: plot.

That and the school play dialogue.

Claudia's end still makes me anxious and it's been like 20 years since I've seen the movie for the first time. And she's even younger in the book. Five, I think.

I thought the same thing too.

@@ignitetheballoon9054 yes I know right !

Robert Rerite “You don’t take prisoners in war.” So Jaime in Season 1 and 2 was...what exactly? And how is that a choice? Surrender to the foreign invader or die horribly? So much for breaking the wheel and making a better world!

@@Longshanks1690 More times that not...you don't take prisoners. So instead of killing them on the field, she grabbed them...gave them a choice to either have their original fate or join her...that is a choice. By definition, having more than one option and having your pick...that is having a choice. She is breaking the wheel. Let's not be naive now lol....hard choices are made during times of war.

@@Longshanks1690 lol, Jaime was held captive because Sansa was in Kingslanding and they were intending to trade.

dany was doing exactly what theon did to ser rodrik. at least theon had to be pushed to it by other ironborn using the same exact reasons that dany fanbois now use to justify dany. if you were disgusted with what theon did, and now justify dany, you are a hypocritical dany fanboi by definition

​@@sittingnut1 Not the same...just bringing that up shows that you don't know what you are talking about. Invading someone's land and strongarming folks isn't the same as being in war and taking on war prisoners. Dany is the rightful queen taking back her lands and kingdom, she gave the defeated army a choice, which she didn't need to do...it's really simple to understand. Theon wasn't a rightful anything there, he was just invading a, at the time, neutral territory...not the same thing as an actual war between a pretender crown and the heir to the throne.

Yup as seen in season six she blows them up without any fucks given.

well the Lannisters imprison people and dany is more like "you bend the knee or you burn"

"Join me or die " yeah a great choice.

Jenna And the wheel keeps on spinning.

@@Longshanks1690 She can't break the wheel if she's not in power. She needs to win the war to get there (in her mind). I'm certainly not saying that Daenerys will "break the wheel" when she becomes Queen. I truly don't think she'll be able to do so because... politics. But lmao @ people blaiming her for taking WAR actions and making decisions that anyone in times of what would have made (and did make... Robb also killed people for desobeing him, people who were his bannermen- not his enemies! He even got his wolf to eat one of his bannermen's fingers for... what? Disrespecting him during a meeting? Whatever)

@@MARYWTHER yet, when demanding Jon bend the knee, she used the history of what "the wheel" had done to justify herself. I.e "your ancesters bent the knee when the Tigarian wheel forced them to, therefore I am queen"

If the Knight's watch is disbanded, can Sam the slayer take Lord of Horn Hill in his father's place.

Being an ass justifies being burned alive? In what world is that ok? It's not even remotely ok in our modern Western world. Death sentence for being a d*ck? That's tyrannical.

She should´ve let the son live... wasn´t right choice

@@lukasmesaros9431 he said "you'll have to kill me, too". He's a grown man, that was the choice he made.

Spot on, that was what I had thought when I saw the episode.

@@KiltBill2 another excuse for Dany´s actions? He wants to be like his father. It´s fathers fault that he made him an idiot but deffo not son´s fault. As Daenerys said : Dont judge me by my ancestors crimes ... its not him who betrayed Elena it was his father he is just young and unexperienced. so she has all rights to kill everyone she likes okay sorry my bad what a "great queen"...

Actually, the Tyrells royalled fucked the Tarlys more than once. In fact, the only Tyrells in power with a good mind in this generation were the Queen of Thorns and Margaery. The Lord of the house, Mace Tyrell, was a brutish man who cared little for strategy or politics. He only cared for fame and power. In more than one occasion, he would steal the merits from his vassals, and there is no greater example of this than what he did to House Tarly in Robert's Rebellion. Plus, ultimately, loyalty to the kingdom supersedes loyalty to individual houses. If your liege rises up in revolt against the crown, the house isn't obligated to follow them. The houses pledge loyalty to their liege, and their liege pledges loyalty to the crown. Before you sit on that high horse and talk about House Tarly "betrayal", do remind that the Tyrells: - Supported Ramsay over Stannis, the rightful heir to the throne, for political power. - Immediately changed their allegiance to the Lannisters when Remly died, for political power - Murdered their king with poison (If that isn't treason I don't know what is) So things aren't as cut and dry as you are painting them out to be. TL;DR The Tyrells put the Tarly's in an impossible position, after years of screwing them over. The Tyrells sided with Daenerys without a care for their vassals, who could not hide behind their great castle like the Tyrells could. They didn't ask for the advice or the opinion of their vassals. The Queen of Thorns made a decision based on anger and didn't care how that affected the people attached to house Tyrell, on top of murdering their king and betraying their kindgom. The Tyrells are the traitors.

🤧 that was beautiful

Kim Carragher That is not a Targaryen tradition. The Stark's do that so they never forget how horrible death is. Daenerys has drogon do it so the others never forget how horrible death is and choose to bend the knee.

What happened before that, she was first being attacked, her navy. And now it is war, people die.

​@@stevem2323 Murdering leaders instead of reinstating them is the quickest way to fail a conquest and make sure your future rule is nice and full of rebellions. Shes doing the same thing she did in Mereen where she just started swinging her dick around instead of thinking about things for a split second. Take over, burn people and then what? What is she going to do? Does she have a plan as to who will replace the Tarlys for administration? No she just wants things her way and fuck what happens to the common people after, same as in Mereen where she had no idea what do do with the economy or the society after freeing the slaves leading to so much unnecessary death. Does she know anything about ruling that portion of westeros? No, nobody in her army does, atleast no one she can leave behind. By doing this you are only leaving hundreds, maybe thousands of people without their leaders and walking off to let them fend for their selves. All because she wanted two dudes to kneel DUE IMMEDIATELY after winning the battle. Thats why Tirion asked her to give them a chance to think it through. If you just saw your men, friends, probably family die horribly at the hands of some girl who showed up out of nowhere you are never going to kneel immediately after, specially if you're supposed to be leading whats left of these people. And then she has the nerve to talk about how benevolent she is and how shes different. She didn't just kill two Tarlys. In one move she wiped out an ancient house (which will culturally piss off every other great house killing her chances for getting further support), wiped out all the people in Horn Hill who are going to die in a succession debacle because she just offed their leaders and left, she wiped out all the people in the future who will fight her for what she did there if she manages to win the throne. She might be a bad ass conqueror but on the grand scheme of things shes a person who acts with no concept of consequence and genuinely doesn't care what happens after as long as she fucks shit up and feel good about herself. We spent season with her on Mereen so she learned how to rule and after all of that shes landing in westeros and making the same mistakes one for one. Let others figure out how to un-fuck shit up. You know who else did that, Robert Baratheon and Aerys Targaryen. She contradicted herself in the span of 3 sentences in her first time addressing westerosi people for crying out loud. Somehow 7 seasons in she is still the little girl with big dragons, bigger ego and no idea what shes doing. Shes not breaking the wheel, shes a discount copy of the wheel. Either do what you say or say what you do, you cant have it both ways or youre just making the truth be what you want it. You know who thought like that, Joffrey. She might not have the deep personality flaws of Robert, Aerys or Joffrey that made us dislike them in the show but on a fundamental level she is behaving like them. (btw sorry i went off this long, i spend wayyyy too many hours doing character analysis in my spare time)

The river was a rush. I don't know if you've ever been in the Colorado River (which I have) but there are parts that look calm on the surface, but move very fast on the undercurrent. Which is where you probably go if you were wearing full armor and fell in. Hope that clears it up.

@@robertrodriguez1964 bull shit. Dany just saw them land in the lake/river. Why would she just leave? Very unrealistic scene.

KrypticSoul I have an answer for that I think, she had no way of knowing it was jamie because shes never seen him before and probably assumed this random guy who was wearing full armor was already dead by drowning.

@@crystall.411 Sorry I don't buy that. When you have a Lannister on your counsel and they had all the time in the world between travels to receive advisement from said counsel, there is no way Dany wouldn't know who Jaime is. Especially when you are going to ambush a lannister army, better damn well know how is leading that army. That is just foolish to believe that she doesn't know who Jaime is, and if that is the case then that's just more terrible writing in season 7.

@@sython135 of course she knows of him, but how could she possibly know what he looks like? It's not like she can spend time studying his armor and compare it the other soldiers while he's charging at her. Tyrion would literally have to be jumping up and down and screaming THAT'S HIM THAT'S JAIME in order for Dany to know. There aren't just paintings of Jaime all over the place. Sorry, but I don't buy that she should know what someone who she has never met looks like, and has no way of knowing what he looks like short of Tyrion asking Jaime to sit for a painting and have it sent to Dany. Tyrion can't just show her a picture of Jaime from his phone. He can hire a painter and trying to have that painter paint Jaime, based on his description of him or ask Jaime to sit down for a painting just so Dany can study his face on the off chance they meet in battle. I doubt that happened.

hey they should at least have had horses, right

If they are looking to pump up their subscriber #'s in the teenage girl demographic, that's the show to accomplish it.

If N&S haven't already seen it and they get enough people recommending The 100 they might add it to a poll to get us to vote on it when the next Premiere show (Breaking Bad) and Weekend show (Black Mirror) reactions end. But Patreon's get to vote first then we get the top 4 shows with the most votes to vote on. Would be soooo surprised if Vikings, The Handmaid's Tale or Peaky Blinders aren't the next shows that will be reacted to after BB and BM. So don't be surprised if you are waiting a really long time to see a reaction to The 100.

I recommend it as well!!

@@fuzzy__dunlop in my opinion it is not just a series for teenagers, it is a good show for anyone who likes post apocalyptic, besides having a very good story and interesting characters. Sorry for my bad English.

A C - I understand, and respect your opinion and the fact people like it. I was just having a little fun. I tried to give it a watch, got to season 2, but stopped there. Just my opinion, but I don't think Steven would like it. By the way, your English is great.
