Game of Thrones - The Ghost of Harrenhal (Episode Revisited) 

Nerd soup doing a GOT review on a Saturday?! They must have been promised Harrenhal!!!

That point you guys made about the small folk not really knowing the truth, is why I love so much the play in Braavos in season 6 where they re-enact the war of the 5 kings, only from a commoner's perspective. Ned Stark really is a traitor, Tyrion is an evil monkey devil who plotted to become king, and Joffrey is just the sweetest kid ever. That must have been exactly what happened in the middle ages... people not really caring that much about the rich but hearing enough things to know the basic outline, that history is written by the victors, etc... all in the time before even the printing press existed, and before adequate investigative techniques or the scientific method had been developed. It truly bring home the point that knowledge really is power.

I wait for these GoT videos like a crack head😩

Always a good day when nerd soup uploads an episode recap

Agreed about Maisie. A child actress, her first role in anything and she just exudes confidence in scenes with Charles Dance. It’s breathtaking. Arya has always been my favorite character since I read the books. No matter what someone may feel about Arya, no one can deny she is a true natural actress - she makes it look effortless.

"There's books?" 😂😂 I love you guys- in a totally non-creepy stalker way.

My favorite is how jaqen says to Arya "a boy is now a girl" and she says "I was always a girl" then he's like "a man always knew" Perfection

Dany's 'mad queen' comparisons are so unfounded. She's far more like Aegon than she is Aerys. She gives people the same choice he did when he conquered the kingdoms...

“Anyone can be killed” - except Jon Snow

I look forward to these every single week. Please keep up the amazing work Nerd Soup!

Two nerd soup Game of Thrones reviews and one week. What did I do that was so good.. 🌚😁😁

Could you guys please put the episode number in your titles?

Still here guys, thank you from Czech again!

3:59 Love how YOUR "No" coincided with Brienne's. 😂😂

love these rewatches

These episodes are the perfect build up to season 8! I

This is one of my favourite episodes of the whole series, i just love it.

Love the way you guys talk about "strong female characters" because you're right about modern movies.

It's not that I dislike Dany, but I just believe that Jon is way better suited to the throne. The only things that can really get in his way is a slight temper and not always listening to advice. But he listens a lot more than Dany does. Dany "listens" but then does what she wants essentially. Like Dumbledore said, "Perhaps those best suited for power are those who have never sought it." Jon to the tee. If Dany is indeed Nissa Nissa and Jon has to kill her, I want Tyrion to go be his Hand of the King. They would be the perfect match to rule Westeros. I will never get bored of the Arya and Tywin scenes. I can't even imagine how intimidating it must have been as an acting newb to go up against a veteran actor. And she held her own, completely unbothered by it. I love seeing young actors work with older actors, they can learn so much from them.

Ahhhhhh!!!! Rewatch on a Saturday!!! For your good work....I bestow upon you, Harrenhal! You’re welcome!

25:26 Ahhh, finally the Stannis shade 😂 thank you for that!

You guys are awesome. Helps in filling the void of this GoT 1 year hiatus. Thanks so much and keep up your fantastic job.

5:00 Little finger is the impersonation of an overthinker, it just occured to me as you were talking. He has always a plan because he thinks about everything that could happen as if it happens, adjusts for the worst and makes plans for several of the most likely options. Thats also the reason he is hard to guess cause he always knows different options.

Lot of Godfather and NBA references lately lol.... Maybe Bo has always done that.

Hands down my favorite RU-vid channel! Thank you for working your butts off to keep these going - we are all so hooked!

The Dwyane Wade tangent had me emotional. I graduate from Marquette University in 2 weeks and half the reason I chose Marquette was because I watched Dwyane Wade lead them to a Final Four back in 2003. Retire In Peace Flash

These vids are tiding me over till s8 and saving me the time of watching it all over again-plus the great analysis.

Just loving the fan art in the background with arya carrying the hound who's flicking the finger X'D

Nerd soup coming in clutch with the Game of Thrones recap

Thank you guys - taking a break from yard work now!

Really didn’t think I would like your channel... Now you’re one of my favorite channels on RU-vid! Please keep the revisited videos coming! Who am I kidding keep all the videos coming!!

Small nitpick: Fredo was Michael's OLDER brother. That, along with his inherent weakness of character, was what led to his psuedo-betrayal in the first place. He was passed over after Sunny's death, and was never going to have a place of importance within the family, even if Sunny had lived. To double back on your metaphor, he's the Theon Greyjoy of The Godfather series.

Roy does an amazing job in the audiobooks... several good and distinct voices.

The banter is back baby!

can't. . stop. . watching. .

I LOVE the weekly episode reviews! Thanks!

You guys are blowing my mind! Thanks for doing it early 😆

Good shit fellas, as usual on point breakdown,helping get us through the long night!

I'm loving these reviews!! Please don't give up

Excellent peace of info on Roy Dotrice! I'm listening to AFFC again, that's awesome.

Love these episode breakdowns❤️ I always have a few “Ah-ha” moments as I gain new prospectives in the scenes you guys comment on that maybe I hadn’t thought of. Please keep making as many as you can❣️Nerd Soup is one of my top three favorite channels. And I so love your animation skills. I’ll just say it....YOU ROCK!! 😍🤘

I had no idea the alchemist was played by Roy Dotrice! I love his narration of the books, very sad to know he passed away...what an amazing voice and amazing narration.

THUG LIFE!! BWAAAA!! You guys are the best. Keep them coming. Also, love all the sports references.

roy dotrice R.I.P my favorite way to experience the story is through his narrations of the book fantastic!!!

I imagine jorah in season 8 episode the bells, fighting being proud and then falling to his knees giving up on life and danyreas and see the wave of flames flow over him.

The book club idea is interesting. Not sure how it would work, but if the new book ever comes out, it would be fun.

Love the GOT / SPORTS video. Cause if there is one thing I know, GOT fans love sports. You guys are the best ! PS. I broke my nerd soup mug can I buy one

Love you guys' pop culture references

In the books, Melisandra and davos have to get at least underneath the castle to have the magic work. I guess that would be her range.

I love you guys, keep up the great content!

Bless the 7 you posted

"He's near-sighted. That's why he reads books." Actually he's near-sighted *because* he reads books. Look up the studies - in primitive populations myopia affects about 1% of people; those who perform the most near-work like weaving. As populations gain education and technology and more people perform more near-work that rate increases to what we have in the developed world: 30% of people are near-sighted.

you guys make my Mondays better :)

Ayyy love to see it. Also, btw Roy doe-tree-ss (deer-plant-snake sound) lol

Yeah, about Dany having a good heart...oh boy

22:58, Y'know what for a sec there you guys almost had me...Eye of Agamotto? Really? Lolol

God damn you guys are doing well keeping up with these reviews 👏👏👏 appreciate the content, keep it up!

Don't forget that the reason Cersei keeps Tyrion in the dark and would never trust him, is the predictions that she would die by the hands of the Valonqar. And for her, this is Tyrion. So she's constantly thinking that Tyrion is plotting to kill her at the first chance he gets it

Well said on the thoughts on Catelyn people unfairly shit on her because they love Jon Snow and unfairly blame her for Robbs mistakes

"FINISH THE BOOK!" Ah sir. I could not possibly agree with you more.

You guys are awesome!

I love this 😁 please upload more of this!

Waaaaaahhhh so much content! I can't handle it 😍😍😍

I don't think it really stands to reason that Arya could have ended the war with three names and Jaqen. He tells Arya that there is no time limit on when he'll kill the person she names. If Arya had tried giving Jaqen Joffrey's name there's no telling how long it would take to plan and go through with killing Joffrey. I'm not sure if it was a rule or not but Jaqen also only took one name at a time; if Arya couldn't give him all three at once then she would have to wait for him to find her again after traveling across Westeros to kill one person. I think having the more controlled, more sure outcome, was the better way to use the names.

What do you get if you mix a die hard got fan, with an early nerd soup review on a saturday? One excited Subscriber who can kill grizzlys...

Now that I’m watching this now..... what am i gonna do Monday!!??

Dammit not first. I'm determined to be your biggest fan!

So sorry and you all ROCK too!!!👍👍👍👍

At the beginning of the reviews you were wondering if you had the motivation to continue throw all the seasons, and now you do them early because you couldn't wait any longer

Can you guys do a podcast on an alternative timeline where Margery marries Robb instead of Joffery. (guys like this so they can see it)

this episode made me really think about what it would really be like ina fantasy world.. like, if you could wish on a star and pop into middle earth or skyrim or westeros, would you? and most of the time i would jump at the chance... but then something like this happens and my 1st reaction was "how do you stop that? how do you protect yourself against THAT?!?" ...you can train up to not fear swordsman or bowmen, you can be a master of martial skills, but the best sword in the world cant stop a random magic shadow demon ghost baby assassin

The Harrenhall is also the very place that started the whole Robert and Rhaegar's conflict over on Lyanna stark.

*anything happens in game of thrones* REMINDS ME OF THE GODFATHER 2

Actually, King Aerys choosing an alchemist to serve as his Hand was considered an economical move as the Alchemist's Guild wound up discounting the Wild Fire sold to the Mad King. So while he was mad, he knew how to get what he wanted at the least expense.

A great Cinco de Mayo Saturday surprise! Thanks, guys!

Beatles fans= Best channel ever

Speaking of Roy Dotrice, I'm currently going through the audiobooks for the first time. I'm halfway through A Feast for Crows, and considering all the bad rep this book gets I'm really enjoying it.

Hey new girl or “girl” is awesome! So sad it’s last season :-/ anyway I’m doing my first re-read of the books and I’m right about same place as you guys are doing these videos! So it’s pretty awesome keep them coming! :) Greetings from Michigan!

I never quite got the argument that Holdo should've told Poe her plan in TLJ. Why would she tell someone who's low ranking and was demoted for getting half their pilots killed? She didn't know that he was gonna try and take over. Anyway back to GOT. Fantastic episode once again. These first 4 seasons was some of the best television iv ever watched!

14:55 - I love how Beau would instantly one-shot himself in Westeros. If I am in the market for Faceless Men assassinations and I stumble across our host offering me three kills for a fair price, I’ll take two kills for free instead.

I don’t really understand how you guys like Cersei. I mean she’s smart. But she’s not that smart.

Its not just that shes flawed. Everyone is flawed. She just doesnt make an attempt to try and be good. She trys to appear good but she doesnt attempt to be good herself on the inside and not just appear good. People give her a break because shes hot but na not me. She still undergoes the same analysis as every other character. I personally would follow Aria.

I'd take that deal ahahaha. Great inglorious bastards reference. Scotland supports u blue guy.

Love it, nuff said 👍🏻

You overestimate how intelligent Cercei is. She's typically petty and short-sighted. She greenlit the faith militant, for example.

2:35 So, the North is basically Texas...😂

According to the pattern, does this mean the next one is going to be out on Friday?

How the hell did Tywin not know she was Arya Stark? He knew she was highborn & northern, and that just doesn't seem like the kind of oversight he'd make. Been wondering about that ever since the episode originally aired.

These reviews are like crack to me 👌👍🔥💯

I can't remember, why couldn't arya use her kill to get tywin again?

“Anyone can be killed” “ Nothing can kill a Jedi” - little Anakin

We don’t deserve y’all. ❤️❤️ Chants and Bows: “We’re not worthy!” X3

Oh and “Fun Fact”...the actor that plays the pyromancer is the voice actor that voices all of the “Song of Ice and Fire” audio books!

Oof its crazy looking back on ur thoughts on dany to now yikesss

I just smoked, and that opening was confusing at first lol.

"grill cheeses the fuck out of tywin"... glorious line

12:16 , perfect timing LOL

Whatever happened to Tywin's cousin? He was never mentioned or seen past this episode.

Jaqens speech patterns isn't even a faceless man thing, it's just because he's in the face of a guy from lorathi dude and they talk like that, the world book goes into it. That's why it's funny she adopts it, it'd be like an American suddenly popping into a British accent or saying wanker haha. And I love Arya's choices for the kills, it's so typical of a kid. Not large in scope, or broad planning, just people that are personally affecting her and in her own sphere

I just wanted someone to point out where the hell the fire was towards the end of the episode lol
