The Long Night [GOT 8x3 REACTION] GAME OF THRONES 8x3 [REACTION] First Time Watching! 

Note Jamie and Brienne defending Winterfell with the two halves of Ned Stark’s sword.

Theon’s last stand made him one of my favorite characters after Jon

Several characters died atleast twice this episode and lived 😂

Really stoked you guys enjoyed the episode.... it was epic in every way.

they weren’t lying when they said they were gonna speed through the rest of the show to catch up to house of the dragon

The night is dark and full of contrast.

House Mormonts Motto: “here we stand”

Major props to Alfie Allen. He took us on an amazing journey as Theon. He's no doubt one of the most talented actors in the industry.

“Do you think John thinks he did that by yelling at it” 😂 People tried to get me to watch this show for years and I swore it just wasn’t my kind of show. I finished it in 2 weeks lol. Truly nothing like it!

Jorah fighting to the death to protect his queen always makes me cry 😭😭😭

He said John thought he yelled at it to death 💀💀💀 lmao

Theon looked Death in the face, didn't flinch and ran at him with open arms 🫡

Not a spoiler as not in the show. In the books, all the Stark children are wargs. Jon and Arya had the same wolf dreams as Bran did. Arya even warged into a cat when she was blind which is how she was able to fight blind in the House of Black and White. She was also able to warg into Nymeria while she was in Braavos. Also, Robb did the same with Grey Wind when he was fighting the Lannisters in the Riverlands. AND A really fun fact: It was Arya, through Nymeria, who pulled Catelyn's body from the river after the Red Wedding.

Jon had to leave Sam, he knew he HAD to get to the Night King. It’s not that he didn’t care to help, he knew the best way to help Sam was to end the White Walker threat by moving forward

Theon and Lady Mormont's deaths always make me cry the most. The moment the music drops in when Tyrion kisses Sansa's hand 😭😭😭 I remember nonstop sobbing at the hopelessness from that point until the end

Melisandre is a perfect example of how this show makes the viewers hate and love characters at the same time. Fans have hated her for the sacrifices and other terrible things she’s done in the name of her Lord but in the end you can’t help but appreciate her dedication to her god and stopping the White Walkers.

People always ask "why does Bran sit there and leave to use the ravens to see during the battle"? They seem to forget that when he first learned how to use the 3rd eye at some point the Knight King became aware of his presence shocking Bran and that was when the Knight King decided to find Bran and "unlive" him, Bran even said he was coming there to "unlive" him. Everytime Bran uses the 3rd eye the Knight King is drawn to him, Bran the flame and the Knight King the moth. So when he used the 3rd eye during the battle he was trying to draw the Knight King to the area where in his visions he saw Arya destroy the Knight King and when after he told Theon he was a good man he said "Thank You" because he knew that Theon had delayed the Knight King and his Generals long enough for Arya to arrive.

“You’ll fly” referred to him being a raven. He flew as a raven

You guys dont understand the prophecies in this series becayse the show handled them so poorly that they should never have even added them in. HBO made some amazing lore videos that are narrated by the cast of the show. They are on RU-vid and are worth the watch. They get into the lore and mystical side that the show skipped.

Has to be the first person/reactor I've seen actually call the dead being raised from the crypt.....Bravo Ms October Bravo

Was not expecting this tonight! U just made my Saturday lol x

Maester Luwin to Theon season 1: " Is there going to be an attack in the Godswood? Season 8 : Theon charging the Night King in the Godswood

Melisandre was my favorite character. They wouldn’t have won without her! I’m so glad you guys have the respect for her she deserves. She was finally free. Slaves wear collars and that was what that necklace was for her.

I think everything Bran did was to give Arya time to get to him. Remember Bran gave her the dagger he probably saw what was going to happen just wasn't sure of his vision. Also look for the dagger in House of the Dragons

The hands down best thing in this ENTIRE show is The Hound and Arya. The Dog and his Wolf Pup. No other pairing in any scene is better. Not even Arya and Tywin.

Jon still saved humanity, he was theone who united everybody against Death

The fact that they gave us so much fan service in the previous episode and they couldn’t give us Jon fighting the Night King or Bran warging into a dragon or a giant is kind of a huge missed opportunity.

Melisandre is MVP of this war, she turned to RPG Character. - Fire Attack for Dothraki - Fire Defence for Winterfell - Bless Arya with 9999+ Kill luck

Theon was a good man

With some mental gymnastics you can make some sense of this in the storytelling aspects, but better not think about realistic battle tactics. Never send your cavalry into frontal attack against unknown masses of troops! Better keep them back to attack from the sides. Build more trenches. Keep your artillery safe behind the walls. Keep yor infantry to defend the walls instead of sending them out. Be aware that there aref dead in the crypts tha enemy could resurrect. Build scorpions against dragons. Warg the enemy dragon. And much more. .

OMG I'm so happy you're releasing this so fast. I've just finished watching your reactions to ep 1&2.

Straight Up my Favorite Reactors !! Misses and Mister October, You Two take the Cake !!! Always Genuine and True to Yourselves. Much Appreciated to Say the Least. I can't afford to be a Patreon Guest, but I do my best to support You on RU-vid.

I remember waiting anxiously for 2 years for this season and the whole time while watching this episode, all I could think was " Please don't kill Arya, please don't kill Arya..." 😂 Often times in the wild, ravens and crows will befriend wolf pups through adult age. Once they become adults, the wolves will protect the raven or crow from many enemies. This is a brilliant incorporation to the story by George R.R. Martin.

Vladimír Furdík born in old Czechoslovakia was great as Night King.

I would say the run is almost over but we have HOTD coming right up so it’s all good 😎

The show does a very good job of explaining that Valyrian Steel swords and dragon glass are great weapons against the White Walkers, but they don't go into much detail about the armor. The best armor to have in this episode is plot armor and boy was it effective.

I've always heard that this episode was so disappointing, but I don't feel that way at all. I'm glad to finally be watching the whole series with you and forming my own feeling about it. Is the unceremonious end of the army of it dead jarring and rushed? Yes. Was the episode lame? Not at all.

What was so crazy? The Sunday night that this episode originally aired was the very same weekend that "Avengers: Endgame" came out in theatres. It was a STARK "Winning Weekend" Tony Stark and Arya Stark saved humanity at the same time. It was an epic weekend!

Enjoy this episode. That’s all I can say to y’all. Enjoy this episode.

A few things: - Theon's arc is absolutely fantastic and it's amazing to go back and rewatch, knowing what happened in the end. - I recommend - after you finish the series - watching a video by "In Deep Geek" called "What was Bran doing all that time?" to answer your questions about Bran's warging during the battle for Winterfell. - Melisandre: there's a beautiful passage in the books, where she explains that she prays the Lord of Light for a glimpse of "The Prince that was Promised" (the one who would bring the dawn, remember?), and all she sees is snow. (or Snow? ;) ) - Prophecy: remember what Melisandre said. "Prophecies are a dangerous thing." They are very vague and open to interpretation, and everyone tweaks them to fit the person they want them to fit. In the end, we can argue that Jon was absolutely essential in creating the perfect circumstances to defeat the Night King, even though he wasn't the one to actually do it in the end. Anyway, we can talk about it more after you're done.

That Dothraki charge remains hilariously stupid even to this day. ^^

i think the Red Woman redeemed herself from killing Shareen bringing Jon back to life the things she did here also she motivated Arya to go take out the Knight King

When this episode of television premiered there were huge comparisons to Avengers Infinity war with the scope of the battle, it became an event and one of the most viewed episodes of television in history, say what you want about the season this episode is a true demonstration of what is possible and a big catalyst for television and streaming shows production value to get way bigger budgets, an incredible moment in time, Arya is that it girls.

"Who is your favorite character? Everybody" hahhaa

"So Arya sneaks up on the Night King and stabs him and that's the end of winter." "Oh, it's over?" "Yep! All done. So moving on..." "Wait wait wait. So that's just it?" "Yep. That's it. So anyway..." "But we've been building toward this for 8 seasons. It's just done with a quick stab?" "It is. Yeah." "So what was with the Night King's connection to Bran or that weird symbol that kept popping up or the fact that..." "Listen sir. It's over. We gotta move on." "Oh, I just feel a little empty inside. I feel like this could have been fleshed out more." "Well there's no time. There's only a few episodes left." "You can have more episodes if you want." "I just don't see any other way other than rushing it." "You can do it in more episodes." "Oh damn this short season!" -Pitch Meeting

So have to point out theon is most definitely a main character especially in th books as he one the few people that has chapters written from his point if view

This episode had so many MVP's.

this show is heating up...love these reactions... it's been a journey...

Arya was the only one could get the Night King. She was underestimated by everyone. The Night King focused exclusively on Jon and Dani, seeing them as a threat, never saw Arya as a threat. Once you are done with this show, I have another for you --the T.V series, Buffy the Vampire series. I put it up there with Game of Thrones

The score is So good 22:43 , and the pure deviation in Dani why Jorah dies , u can see how muck she loved him

Jon Snow should’ve been the one to kill the night king. They were building up that rivalry just for Arya to jump out of nowhere to kill him lmao. And from this episode, I ain’t gonna lie, I sobbed when Theon died. His character arc in the series was one of the best

'creme brulee' LOL 😂

Ah the long night arguably one of the most controversial episodes in all of game of thrones, years of hype of the white walkers all for Arya to just stab the night king with a knife…

It was an epic fight, and the music OMG. I was tense the entire episode. I think the writers dropped the ball on a few things. One of them was Bran. I don't think they knew what to do with him. He could've warged into wolves or anything to help in the fight, but they have him warg into birds to just watch??

Really appreciate the upload speed 🎉

This episode is really the first episode where I could understand and agree with the heavy criticism. There were grumblings previously (mostly about teleportation) but this episode had quite a few blunders. Right off, the darkness. If your tv is not set properly, you will not see much of anything. Most people's tvs are not adjusted properly so a lot of people missed a lot. Next, you said you were going to go back and check out the logistics of the battle... it doesnt get better. There is no way a castle full of warriors of the caliber we are told these people are, would ever have such terrible battle planning. Yes, the Dothraki hoard fading away was dramatic, but completely unreasonable in a battle. Dothraki should have been hidden well away and hit from the rear or flanks so they could peel off after unloading arrows on the undead. Everyone else should have been inside the fortress.. The trebuchets should have been in the fortress. There are plenty of examples to go through, but I am sure everyone gets the point. It was poorly written with not much research into a proper battle in that situation. The other big complaint that has a lot of merit was Arya killing the Night King... which I loved and felt it fit with what we know of her, but... (especially in the books) the confrontation between Jon Snow and the Night King has been built since the first season essentially. In the books there is an emphasis on "The song of ICE AND FIRE" and the Prince who was Promised. Clearly, that is meant to be Jon... Stark (ice) and Targaryen (fire). So while I love the Arya scene, it was really just a great scene and didnt follow all the foreshadowing built.

16:27 So THIS is the moment they should've used that lady from Hardhome: She would've been perfect as a recognizable wight for Arya to stab righ there!

I love watching people witness this for the 1st time. Idc what the haters say this episode was fireeeeee!!!! The story could have been fleshed out for 5 more season but then end results would always be the same. D&D were told the ending and this is what GRRM himself wanted. Again yes the show should have been longer and more storylines injected but again this was always the end result and I’m happy with it. Except for one person who got shafted in a big way in which I’ll comment on next episode

8 freaking seasons of storyline and character development dismantled in 3 seconds..beyond disappointing..

They say Jon was not supposed to be the one to kill the Night King, who basically wimped out of a fight with Jon by raising the dead to shield him from Jon. He was the only one who could unite the realm to fight The Army of The Dead and The Night King.

The Army of the Dead doesn't await the storm. It BRINGS the storm

I’ll still never get over the fact that we never got the 1v1 with Jon and the NK that we all deserved Also, I saw you said southern GA! Located up here in North GA!

Probably the most illogical episode of Game of Thrones. I was massively disappointed with how easily this storyline was tossed aside. I hope we at least get the book

Did they not make dragonglass arrows? I feel like they showed that they were made, but I don't remember seeing them being used.

This episode was epic as f*ck! I sort of wish we had them battling the army of the dead over the course of like 2-3 episodes but at least it was pretty great in comparison to the rest of the season.

R.I.P to the fallen that fought for the living🫡

They should've made this whole season the fight against the dead and then they should've made the series 10 seasons with season 9 and 10 the war against cersi

At the end of the season 8 reaction, I would love to see a reaction by you both to other youtubers on s8. Because there are a lot of them that sum up why there is so many differing opinions on S8 and S7. All in all, Thank you both for your content and positive vibes. Always looking forward to seeing more from you both!

One legit complaint about the series as a whole for me is the weak use of Bran's powers. Warg into a dragon, go more and twist things in the past, etc.

There is a reason why Kit Harrington summed up season 8 in one word "Disappointing"

the dragon skull is balerion, but its way smaller than its supposed to be

The reason many people don't like this episode is because the battle plan was completely moronic.

Theon a character I didn’t really care for, then hated, then felt bad for and ended up rooting for and shedding a tear at his death. Alfie Allen was epic

"Kinda scary to be in the crypts though... cant you raise them up??" ... THANK YOU for catching this. Most people (including the characters obviously) never caught this failure of logic 😂 Yall two are amazing its been a blast to follow along with ya

Took almost two months of night filming to do this. And many of the cast had the flu for part of it. Emilia threw up off of the dragon seat at least once. The amount of effort that went into this makes it so much more epic!! Also, another reactor, when seeing Drogon fly away shaking the wights off, said 'go, Drogon, Taylor Swift that shit!' and I can't watch it without laughing now.

So hyped to watch you guys react to this. Really really enjoy all your GoT commentary :-).

Both pieces of Ice are reunited to defend Winterfell ❤❤❤

Bran not warging a dragon was the biggest missed opportunity of the show, would have given so much more meaning to the words said by the previous Three Eyed Raven. "But you will fly" ended up not having any meaning. Also would have been epic, and given him something to actually do to make a difference in the most important battle.

It definitely would have been better if Bran warged a dragon...😢

Ok the grill cover story was HILARIOUS!

Awesome reaction unfortunately right about here is the beginning of the end for this show😢

i love john and theon, i cried with theon, that's one death i can't get over along with jorah. this is one of the best episodes in all the seaons, this is the best battle, and then the battle of the bastards. i know the episode is dark, but that's also what makes it even more scarier and have anxiety.

For one of the last times please watch Vikings at some point

No, in real life Euron probably would not have just killed Yara. Holding a noble hostage has value, killing them means little. Nobles were pretty safe in battle, generally only being killed by accident. Retreat is a reasonable action for Theon to have taken, charging forward is just suicidal.

Arya is the greatest killer in got

John yelled it to death 😂... awesome

Theon's death hit me the hardest. Firstly, he wasn't some orphan peasant boy. He was a prince that was kidnapped by the Starks, yet nobody sympathizes with that? I get that they were at war, but so were the Lannisters. So I don't understand how people can be angry at the Lannisters for keeping Sansa but Theon is supposed to be a perfect Stockholm syndrome kidnap victim because it's the Starks that did the kidnapping? Hypocrisy! (Sidenote, the writers dropped the ball cuz they could've explored that similarity between the 2 even further--especially since both were molded by their abductors. No one but Sansa could truly understand how he'd be in turmoil) Then we know how the rest of his story goes... yes, he's forgiven, BUT why does he need to be forgiven? Did anyone apologize to him for holding him hostage all those years?? And after everything he did to get back in the good graces of this family, his reward is sacrificing his life for them? And the fandom still doesn't put the enough respek on his name! Smh

Bran in observer mode btw

Arya = clutch

All this time waiting for 8 seasons and the Long Night ends in one episode. 🤣🤣

No matter how many times I watch this episode Jorah's death always makes me cry. I also wanted to thank you for recommending Vooks. My 2 year old granddaughter has been watching it on RU-vid ever since.

R.I.P. Lady Mormont!!!! Toughest little Lady of Westeros

Great reaction you guys.... I've been Re watching G O T with you....your excitement makes it seem brand new....I have my popcorn... Reeses pieces..and root beer ready..waiting on the next episode

A Bookmaker here in Denmark had odds 8-1 that Arya would kill the Night King. Obviously I had to bet. The whole story about Arya, and the fact she got the Valerian Steel dagger from Bran. It was just so obvious.

I need y'all to know that the tactics used by the good guys in the battle were complete dog trash. There's any number of RU-vid videos you can watch to explain fully why. Nothing they did was smart in any way. D&D were buggin'

I don't care for the show cannon very much past season 4. Like Arya vs. The Night King rang hollow for me, personally. Jon's story feels so much more connected to him. And it felt like they forcably twisted some things from earlier dialogue to make it seem as if it was foreshadowed. I was definitely disappointed and surprised when it wasn't Jon. Lol. But it is so exciting to have a taste of what it will be like when Winter truly Falls on Westeros in the real story. 😊 ❄️ 🎶 The score was absolutely breathtaking here & the shot above the clouds of dragons dancing in the moonlight 🌙🐉🌌
