fun fact : in the opening scene, the actor playing Tywin (Charles Dance) was actually skinning a real stag... it's not a prop.

House Lannister's members are for me the most complex (and perhaps the most interesting) characters in GoT and the cast is really amazing during the whole show with Charles Dance at the top. The actor is so brilliant that elevates every scene he is in.

Again, love Ashley’s face. The slight squinting of her eyes. Leaning in a little. You can tell when she is really focused on something about to happen.

So, in the books when Ned told Littlefinger that Robert had no true born sons, littlefinger was like, "Shocking,"😂

Remember even though Jon is a bastard, he comes from a very prominent house. He probably came to the house with that fur whereas most other brothers of the nights watch came because they are criminals being punished. One exception being Sam, and we know his dad barely let him leave his house with his life, much less a fur.

😂 I like the idea of D&D thinking, 'Let's confuse the lesbians with some distracting coupling!" The discussion at the end is why I love watching reactions. It's amazing how people have very different and interesting takes from all of us watching the same show.

It's odd to me that most reactors don't accept Sam's theory that Mormont is grooming Jon for command...

Tywin touching Jaime with his dirty hands is symbolic of the conversation they're having: Tywin is reminding Jaime of an uncomfortable truth: he has spent 2 decades in a dead-end job, rather than living up to his father's high expectations of him as the first-born son. Just as Jaime is discomforted by the dirty hands, he is also discomforted by the conversation. Filmmakers often do this sort of dual-symbolism to reinforce the feeling of a scene, combining the physical with the emotional.

I really enjoy watching you guys, the natural reactions and realizations make it so satisfying and relatable seeing it all unfold in real time - great personalities too :) - keep up the great work ladies!

8:52 It is real. He learnt it only for this exact scene because the props wasn't doing justice to the character. 27:38 Remember that. A lot of people miss it later. It's no spoiler but a nice touch. 44:58 Good job Stef. Theory time must be really hard to not say anything or act on it xD

Jon’s furs are different because he’s the only recruit that comes from a noble, rich family besides Sam.

Mindset issue: in my opinion Ashley has the right mindset. She is watching the show, paying attention to details. Reminder that this is an amazing show with a kind of complex story line. Lindsay personality is getting in the way. She is always trying to find the funny thing with basically every part of the show, so her mindset has to do a 180 when there is a tragedy (there are tons of tragedy during the entire show). Lindsay will find herself joking 5 seconds before something horrible happens. Making comments to everything is also going to cause her to missed important lines that might be link to seasons 7 and 8. Reminder: the show is a drama. Is an amazing show. Is more important to watch the show than to write down notes.

Some interesting set ups and foreshadowing this episode. I'm glad to see you ladies enjoying it! Stefani is doing a great job of assisting with the names while not revealing any spoilers.

She said it. Nobody acknowledged it but she said it. Hopefully when it happens, there's going to be a cut to that moment that she said it!!!!

His name is Gendry with hard G, and it's Viserys, not Visarys. Milk of the Poppy is basically heroine.😊

If you had a culture where bastards could inherit land, titles, positions, or crowns from their father, that feels like it would _also_ be a culture that didn't have much use for the concept of bastardry in the first place. So... if there's any meaning beyond academic linguistic to being called a bastard, I think you can be fairly confident they're not in the line of succession.

I never leave comments but you ladies are so lovely I felt like I had to. Stefani you're so fun to watch, you know we know what's coming lol and love how invested Ashley & Lindsay are!! I will be following these reactions until the very end!!

Lol I love watching the skinning scene 😂 "I could do that" sitting here like "I have done that" 😂

17:40 It is a monarchy. There are various lords ruling the different regions but they're all vassals to one king.

Jon's fur is wolf's fur, symbolizing his identity is still with the Starks. If he ever goes full black, then you'll know that he's accepted is identity as a Crow (Night's Watchman).

Cant wait for the next three. Love all of their theories and speculation

Awesome, Ashley again catching the key things - full marks! I love that the distracting sexposition worked on Lindsey though 😆 Stefani, you're doing a fantastic job with listening to the theorizing without giving anything away, I'm impressed. I am having so much fun with you all as you sink into the story.

The woman on the right insisting that Jon is special because he has a more expensive clothing material as a result of being of a higher class is funny.

Sorry, but as a bastard in that system, Gendry is NOT a RIGHTFUL heir.

Little finger gave Ned a chance to do the smart thing…

07:33 They did something very smart in that scene, because that visual came from Sam's speech when he told Jon how his father basically said that Sam was going to be hunted down and skinned like a pig and while he was threatening Sam, he was skinning a stag and pulling out its guts. But they decided to use this visual to introduce us Tywin fucking Lannister and it works perfectly

I understand people feeling that Petyr talking about Cat coupled with the "distractions" is weird to some 😂 But personally I thought it was the opposite. I believe the purpose of the scene is to show precisely how normal the situation is for all the people involved. So normal, in fact, that it's not strange to talk about anything at the same time. I found it an interesting scene for that reason!

acting is unmatched,modern day masterpiece,it gets SO muchu better,no fricking joke...its best show of all time,not only of hype,but of its magnitude in acting,writing guys,u leave so much of series in i love it! u gonna get a lot of subs until s4 :D

Ashley peeking into Lindsay's homework. I know what kind of schoolgirl she was. 😄

React history and Lore of the season one after the last episode

I just wish you’d post more because I love your reactions

Gratz to your PhD. Thank you 3 for creating this channel for others to follow in your journey of Westeros.

I wish I had a Stefani with me when I watched the show the first time. Great insight with No Spoilers! Well done.

sadly to say....for those who KNOW the story already (i won't give away any spoilers).....but in truth, Ned really is NOT an honorable man. He IS a passionate man who tries to do the right thing.....yet he is constantly in a position where he needs to break his vows to do the right thing (the right thing as he sees it).....and Honor is about keeping your vows, even when the right thing says to do something else it is better to be a passionate man who tries to do the right thing, than an honorable man who obeys his vows no matter what Ned Stark is NOT honorable.....he is a passionate man trying to do the RIGHT thing....not the "honorable thing"

38:46 When I first watched this episode the same thing happened to me haha I felt that and was so relatable lmao

i have to include this since you all ARE past the first season George R.R. Martin's BLANK PAGE (Game of Thrones / Taylor Swift's BLANK SPACE Parody) look that song up kill those you love save those you hate.......sorry Sean Bean

I found out a couple of months ago GOT was inspired by The War of the Roses. So I've been watching everything I can on this war between the house of Lancaster and house of York on youtube. I've found it as interesting and intriguing as Game of Thrones. Especially the women involved and the games they played or were played on them to Crown Henry the VII as king.

PhD? Damn, gurl!! You rock!!

People often identify so strongly with Jon so strongly that they don't see him as a brat lol. Every older person he meets tries to humble him in a soft way, except perhaps Alliser. The thing about his clothes, while serving a tv purpose, does kinda highlight that he gets the chance to be different. Born a bastard but still raised a noble and had a quality of life 1000x better than someone like Pip. Sam, too. Which is why his dismissal of Pip to hype Jon up is a bit of a nasty moment. There's a certain other character whom his story parallels a bit in their disillusionment of the nobility of the knights and brave people from stories that people are less forgiving of but I won't harp on that again lol.

Jason Momoa did the Hakka for his audition and you see him doing a modified version of that here.

Everyone gets a crush for Jon Snow. It's universal.

"SON OF A BILLYGOAT 🐐 " 😅

Great reaction the deer is real by the way

The "sexposition" scene is always good for a 😳😵‍💫 reaction. 😂

Possibly, the King could release a Night's Watch brother from his vows.. he might even be the only one who could.

Steph (I think it’s Steph on the far left?)…pls explain things to them!! I know you don’t want to reveal spoilers and I totally understand BUT there is so much they have already seen and missed and you just let it go! Like why Ned gave Cersei a heads up about getting ready to tell King Robert the truth about Joffrey and Cersei/Jamie, bc he didn’t want to see them all killed by Robert, he wasn’t trying to hold leverage over her as Lindsey thought…also why they want Sansa to marry Joffrey to solidify their houses not bc they care about Sansa bc Joffrey and Cersei hate Sansa, they are only using her but you didn’t explain that either, about the houses and their names and titles, wildlings, etc…or that Jorah was the one on King Robert’s side trying to earn a pardon for the crime that Ned banished him for but then he actually stopped the poisoning of Dany…or that Jamie/cersei isn’t allowed and won’t be accepted…you say nothing lol 😂 I think it would be very helpful to them Just some constructive criticism with the best intentions ❤ Still I really enjoy your reactions, I just finished this show about a month ago and I’m obsessed with reactions haha… Good luck with the channel ladies and be well ❤

King Robert’s death is so tragic.. that actor is my favorite casting choice of the entire show I think

38:38 is the funniest part

TIP: the mic should point to the ceiling. The voice is captured around all sides of the mic.

You guys are definitely not the first reactors to fall for Jason Momoa, but I will remind you that Khal Drogo is a violent warlord. Though she has developed a sort of Stockholm syndrome, Daenerys is still his child bride. She chose to make the most of her situation but that doesn't make it any less abusive.

a term was coined for GoT naked exposition dumps and speeches sexposition

It's depressing how common words have fallen out of usage to the point that people don't know what they mean. A steward is someone who looks after something, in this case the order of stewards in the Night's Watch look after the other members of the Night's Watch. They cook and clean, and clothe their fellows.

Lo cierto es que Twyn está eviscerando y despellejando UN CIERVO, el símbolo de la casa Baratheon. Todo es muy poético.

stewards are the servants to the older officers

It's not all THAT important but kind of interesting to think about the difference between the two main religions we've seen so far. "The Seven" is sort of like Christianity, and "The Old Gods" like Paganism in Dark Ages Europe. "The Seven" is seen as slightly more civilized and advanced, the main religion of the South of Westeros, which you might connect with southern England, and probably France, Italy, etc. "The Old Gods" are more associated with the North, which is analogous to the Pagan areas of Scandinavia and the Baltic countries.

Dothraki subtitles will shed a whole new light on the story.

Bastards cannot inherit unless they are legitimized by royal decree.

It really

he is really dressing a deer in the scene

The lady with the short hair is hilarious! Loving you guys' reactions

17:19 - 😅😅😅😅 Okay, this is going to be fun - sub

Is that a raptors hoodie I see at the end, do i spot a Canadian perhaps?

I think the murderous wine was stronger than usual.

Parts of this episode aren't too well directed, in my opinion. Especially Jorah's big decision. The thing he has wanted for years - a pardon, to return to Westeros a free man, perhaps a reconciliation with his father - is all there in his hand. He looks across and realises what's about to happen. He suddenly realises that his new life is more important than the old, and he goes over and saves Dany, and turns his back on the past. It's a huge thing, a turning point, yet I've seen many people not realise it's even happened. They remember Drogo's speech, Cersei tearing the paper, Littlefinger's treachery - but to me that moment with the little bird, the pardon and Jorah Mormont is really special, and yet it's directed so flat and hurried. Just my two gold dragon's-worth, what do I know? Not sure I've commented on here before, but I'm really enjoying these reactions. Often, having more than two on a panel doesn't work for me, but this one really does. More predictions!

Ok Ok….this is better…they’re getting better….understanding what the fuck…this is isn’t a giggle fest…. This is gonna get stupid serious FAST!! 😢 limited close ups…. and silly stuff …

This is the episode, if you aren't hooked by this point, I dunno what to tell you

Alright stop it!!! You guys are having way too much fun. I enjoy it when the reactors just be themselves and make a fun event about the show. Try to remember Sam saying he always wanted to be a wizard. This is brought up again later in a very cute adorable way. Almost everyone misses then that he mentioned wanting to be a wizard here.

MORD STANS RISE UP

Please turn up the volume on GoT??? I can hear the 3 of you really loud, but not the show.

Everybody laughs until episode 9

House Lannister is the superior house in game of thrones. Tywin Lannister is the best character in all of Game of Thrones

🤓Stefani needs to do a tutorial for other co-reactors who lead a complete noob through a movie or series. Virtually no one else I’ve seen has been as spoiler-sterile as Stefani. Less mature folks cannot control their urge to show their knowledge, in one fashion or another. They ask leading questions at exactly the wrong time, make facial expressions that prepare the noob for a jump scare or shocking event, something, but they cannot contain themselves like Stefani does. I wonder if she’s ever considered a career in teaching? That’s a primary skill set. You know something the student does not. Do you lecture and explain, or allow the student to develop the conclusion from their own reasoning process? Many teachers/professors do not have the patience and awareness to use the Socratic Method, yet we know it’s one of the most effective tools in developing critical thinking skills in students. Likewise with counseling/therapy. “You’re like this!” does not work for helping a patient develop self-awareness. They walk themselves through their self, with the counselor as a thought provoker, but not a guide. This is a serious, professionally applicable skillset that Stefani is displaying for us. It has applications that could help a lot more people in the real world, in far more life-enhancing ways, than merely entertaining folks re-watching their favorite shows.❤‍🔥

Ned is not as honorable as he seems. The moment he realized what was in the book he should have had the king's hunting party tracked down and delivered the good news. Didn't do it fine. But then the queen tells you to your face about the deception, and he didn't chop her in half, he didn't arrest her, didn't harm a hair on her head, or her p.o.s. crowned prince bastard. But when even Littlefinger makes his case for treason to him (which to his credit at least he refuses) he doesn't even warn Littlefinger because he wants to use him. But why? He should know by now the guy is p.o.s., even when grouping him alongside other pimps he would stand out as the worst. He never says anything that would make believe he isn't a bad guy. Ned should know better.

A little less joking and more paying attention. A joke squeezed in every 20 seconds is not necessary.

Are any of you guys Harry Potter fans? because Osha also plays Tonks in HP.

Lesbians unite!

Too distracted by the "sexposition" to rate the episode...

Lindsey stop talking over critical information scenes challenge. Level:impossible

If there's something I have noticed across several reaction videos of GoT is that women seem to like Khal Drogo for reasons that have little to do with his character. The man raped Dhaenerys in the first times, it was non-consensual. He is also ok in enslaving and even claiming women as spoils of war, but somehow that always seems to go over the head of female streamers/tubers.
