Tyrion: I demand a trial by combat Headless Ned Stark: Excuse me! You could do that?

Tyrions trial has to be one of the best scenes in this show! Peter Dinklage killed it!!!

I love how that one line “watching your vicious bastard die, gave me more relief than a thousand lying whores” was such a perfect ‘two birds with one stone’ insult at both Cersei & Shay

Pycelle calling Joffrey the most noble child the gods ever put on this earth makes me legit cackle.

" i wish i was the monster you think i am " this line still gives me goosebumps and tywin's reaction by the end was priceless..

The guy in the middle, the guy defending Shai.... I like how he thinks, he tries to understand people's motivee

The discussion afterwards is good. The thing with Shay or Ygritte, they are women who are used to violence, to be treated badly, to have to prove themselves, and there they meet men who want to take care of them and love them, and they start to believe in it. So when Jon betrays the Wildlings, when Tyrion sends Shay away and tells her she's a whore, both of them probably are mad with themselves for "falling" for it, they feel like fools after all the hardship they went through. It's hard to accept. And in their cruel and violent world (the only one they know) they act the only way they know.

Peter Dinklage received 4 Emmys and 1 Golden Glove for Game of Thrones, well deserved!

There's a scene in Joffrey's wedding where Olenna speaks with Sansa and touches her necklace while saying "killing a man at a wedding, horrid" in reference to the red wedding. But we never see her actually dropping the poison in Joff's cup.

This was THE episode I was waiting for😭🐐

You guys gotta stop spoiling it by saying “this episode is so good.” Just let them go into it

The amount of times someone makes a prediction that ends up being correct and the people who’ve seen it have to bite their tongue 😂

You could see Oberoyn's eyes getting lit up

The hype is so real in this trial scene 😂😂😂

I’m ITCHING for you guys to drop the rest of this season already, this whole season is peak 🤌🏻

Damn Carter and Brig have an eye for detail and have a lot of nuance in their takes, esp in their takes on Shae this episode… love seeing it

In the books it is very clear that Shae was just about the money

Now that they have seen this episode, the guys need to watch the blooper of them walking up to the stand with Tyrion and Jamie. It's my favorite off-script moment 😂 Edit: To help Carter explain why Tyrion made Shay leave the way he did, was to make sure she does, since he tried on multiple occasions for her own good, but she would never agree to it. So his only option was to make her hate him to leave. The only way she would leave on her own accord otherwise is if Tyrion went with her, that alone proves that she truly loved him, she didn't want to leave him.

she loved him but before this trial, tyrion made her hate him so much so that she can escape because she wouldn't leave without him. tyrion and even varys tried so many times before to make her leave so that she will be safe. it was just luck for cersei, tywin, etc. that they knew about shae and had her as witness when she finally can live without him. we all know shae had a good side to her, she even helped sansa hide her first blood and threatened another servant to stay quiet- that was dangerous for shae. love is very powerful, yes. and if successfully turned to hate, it is just as powerful.

The most epic speech!! It’s just as good even after watching it countless times

Gods, the writing was strong then.

In the books, it is a hairnet covered in small jewels that is gifted to Sansa by Dontos Hollard, and straightened up by Lady Olenna as she speaks with Sansa...

The biggest tragedy of Tyrion is that out of Tywin's children he is the one most similar to his father, but because he is a dwarf and because his mother died while giving birth to him - Tywin can never accept him If only Tywin could have seen Tyrion for who he really is... P.S. Such an amazing acting by Peter Dinklage this episode

Tywin played Jaime. Jaime lost that entire exchange. Tywin got everything he wanted and Jaime barely got what he wanted. Any time you offer terms to someone and they accept immediately, that's what their goal was and you just gave it to them.

Can’t be switching spots on the couch like that! 😂

Thank you Carter for paying attention to the show and the small details, the others need to pay attention cause they legit always question the things that have been shown to their face 🙂‍↕️

I just love Tyrion and that speech is definitely one of his best moments. Peter Dinklage did such a fantastic job!

Tywin won’t say that Tyrion didn’t kill Joffrey. He doesn’t know who did it and the person who did likely left already so instead of wasting time, resources, and letting it be known that he let his grandson’s killer get away he would have Tyrion confess and go to the Wall and Jaime will be his heir to carry on his family’s line legitimately, it was a win-win for Tywin. Tommen is easier to deal with than Joffrey so there’s no love lost there really.

Shae pulled a Criston. “If you don’t love me and run away with me, I will burn you to the ground.”

Everyone says that Peter Dinklage won the Emmy for that speech, but he did not win the Emmy for that year.

You guys know that if Shae didn’t testify against Tyrion, they would’ve just murdered her, right? Also, she did get on the boat, but the blockade that Tywin put in place after Joffrey’s assassination caught her. Yes, there’s obviously some negative feelings there, but it’s important to keep the rest of the context in mind.

If yall rewatch the purple wedding you can see the moment when Olenna Tyrell takes the vial from Sansa's necklace

To find out exactly how the poison was delivered to jeoffrey, watch Lady Olenna very closely for the entirety of the wedding reception.

Tyrions wife wasn't actually a whore, Tywin made Jamie lie about that. She really loved Tyrion, but Tywin is truly horrible. I'm like 95% sure it never says in the show, it's book only.

Even Tywin was impressed by Tyrion at the end. I'm sure in his mind he was like "that little fucker!"

No wonder why he won an Emmy for that specific trial speech! That was UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING

1:55 Stannis is last person to be called entitled. This new show watching newbies 😂

Tyrion remains my favorite GOT character. He's just brilliant. This scene has no dragons, no fighting, no epic moves, it's just a speech and it's one of the best scenes in the show.

My favourite episode of the whole show. Tyrion lannister just moved me🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Tyrion's speech was the most epic scene, the actor did amazing! I had such chills omg

"If anybody likes Shae, I don't like you"- LOL!

Looking forward to the next episode, always fun watching you guys react. Heck, it made me go watch the whole series on my own after a certain point.

Ned and Catelyn were not true love: Catelyn loved his elder brother Brandon, who was killed on the Mad King's orders, and Ned was in love with Ashara Dayne, who died after Robert became king. They grew to love each other after years of unhappy marriage.

The HYPEEEE and the goosebumps the trial scene gives everyone 😭 I knew your reactions would be gold

game of thrones makes for good discussion, doesn't it?! these discussions are very similar to me discussing it with my friends. (Discussing the black and white, the grey, empathizing with the characters, trying to understand them). I loved experiencing it.

The next episode is going to blow your brains out.

If you re-watch the EP of Joffrey pay attention to what Olenna as she was talking to Sansas. " War is war but, killing a man at a wedding, horrid. What sort of monster would do such a thing"

Loved the tyrion speech scene. Glad you all Enjoyed this episode. Get ready your eyes for the remaining episodes 😅

Trial by combat is all fun till you hear you are fighting against The fucking Mountain

Omg i love the seating arrangement. Because jack cannot say anymore that he forgot. Everything from now on is totally memorable.

18:31 Mckay reaction hahaha

This episodes on to the end of Season 4 definitely is the strongest run of GoT (or at least my fav.). It's a non-stop rollercoaster ride awaiting us.😂

Regarding the post-episode discussion about Shae: It is possible to understand where someone is coming from and sympathize with them without condoning their actions. When it comes to a show like this, there is always room for nuance.

lol McKay with the Whistlin Diesel socks got me 😂

Peter Dinklage’s best performance he and Pedro Pascal literally owned this season

@18:25 PURE CINEMA

TYYRRRIIOOONN THE GOAT!!!!😤😤🔥🔥😤🔥🔥

I’m literally crying 😂😂😂. That’s why he got all the Emmy’s

15:32 „What if Tywin killed Joffrey?“ Guys, it was already revealed that Littlefinger and Olenna killed Joffrey.

I get Shae being pissed but she was ready to send Tyrion to his death right there.

I'm in support of the seating change, Mckays socks are clean (sorry Cannon)

I need you guys sitting in your correct order, please.

Olena put the poison in Joffrey's cup. Go back to the episode where Joffrey died. When Elena was talking to Sansa and admiring her necklace, she removed the poison and then placed it in his cup.

Christ bruh there’s a reason the famous line exists .. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

The difference between Shae and Ygrid it's exactly that!!! They were or felt both betrayed and Ygrid show him her pain and anger, making him suffer, hurting him, but SHE DIDN'T SHOOT TO KILL HIM, she knows the vital points and she didn't touch him there, because she still loves him!!! Contrary to Shae who knows exactly that her testimony will get him killed and she's still there telling shit and twisting everything!!!

This issue with the Shae part is a book to show adaptation. In the book you can tell she doesn't care about Tyrion and just likes the luxury that comes being with him. She's extremely Jealous of Sansa when he marries her, but not because she loves Tyrion, its because that Luxury is going to be taken away. To a point that you expect this betrayal. The Show portrays her in a better light. Even going as far as claiming she would die to protect Sansa. That while you understand why she betrayed Tyrion it makes less sense. Personally I felt that the Show tried to build it up for a shocking moment.

Y’all need to go back and watch the scene of Joffrey’s pre-wedding breakfast. Where he cut up the book with the sword. Cersei point Shae out to Tywin. Who says to bring her to the tower of the hand. She did this because they forced her to.

Ranking Gek: #1 Carter #2 Mckay #3 Brig ----------------- #4 Cannon ---------------------------------------------- #5 Jack

peak game of thrones

Like the gigantic statue of Bravos, there use to exists in real life, COLOSSUS OF RHODES, just fyi

One of the best episodes in the series.

@CinemaGek you’re not exactly wrong about Theon being held captive by the Starks. However Theon’s father gave him to the Starks as a sign of good faith for a treaty. Theon’s father tried to have his own rebellion against the Throne prior to the start of GOT. Balon Greyjoy tried to rebel against the Throne to win independence from the Iron Throne (which Robert was King at the time). The Greyjoy’s rebellion failed and to avoid further fighting they came to a treaty. They gave the Stark’s Theon his only surviving son from the rebellion as a sign of good faith. And the Stark’s promised to raise him as they would their own as a sign of good faith as well. So yes Theon was taken as a result of war however his father gave him to the Stark’s willingly to avoid being killed. Theon resented the Stark’s but really it was never their fault and they tried to make the situation the best it could be for him.

Also, no, Varys doesn't want to be king. Looking to the iron throne just symbolizes his desire for power in general. He won't sit the throne but he certainly wants to whisper in the ear of whomever does.

In the books, Shae never loved Tyrion, it was mostly one sided, she pretended to love him so that she could benefit from his wealth, and Tyrion knew that in the bottom of his heart, but he ignored that, he wanted to delude himself into believing that she loved him because he was craving for someone to truly love him

Just history info, the big statue at the begining was supposed to be real in the times of roman empire, if I am not mistaken.

sometimes when ur watching someone watch the show for the first time its amazing how they come up with all possibilities except the one thats so obviously set up...they got to the idea that the crown will choose the mountain as the champion...how is the other half not obvious...? maybe it seems obviously set up and foreshadowed when u have seen it before....i watched it so long ago i cant recall if i had figured out what would hppen

The giant statue in front of Braavos is based on Collosus of Rhodes, a giant statue of Helios, one of the Seven Wonders. Sadly the statue lasted about 80 years before it collapsed due to earthquake, but it remains were still in the sea till at least 4 century. I know I said it before, but again: in the books, the Iron Bank comes to Stannis, not the other way around. The show's version, where it is all thanks to Davos, pisses me off. I always hate when they diminish characters to hype up the others.

I don't think Shae ever loved Tyrion. She saw him as a path to a better more comfortable life. She had the psychological edge over him as well since she knew the back story of him and the previous whore he married. Tyrion being a dwarf and always being the one girls would laugh at, has always been desperate to have someone who is committed to him and accepts him as he is. Shae used this and even pushed the limits until she got in danger.

7:00 AM EST upload time stays undefeated 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Mckay ❤

Did you guys forget it’s already been revealed who killed Joffrey?

Peter Dinklage in real life it's a bit of a hole but when he's in front of the camera he kills it and this scene absolutely proved it.

Saying she never loved him is not fair. People who were married and divorced knows that love can turn into hatred

Another Carter and Brig W. Cersei pointed Shae out to Tywin before the Purple Wedding, and he said to have her brought to him. Shae knew about Tysha (Tyrion's first wife), and was told by Tyrion that his father would kill the next whore he took to bed. Tyrion didn't have to take her with him to Kings Landing, he could have sent her away when he found out about his impending marriage, or he could have run away with her to Essos at any point. Obviously Tyrion couldn't control Shae's actions, but his last resort was to dehumanize her and throw her away like just another whore. At that point Shae became a woman scorn and had no reason to die for him, and lets be real, her fate probably would have been much worse than just simple death. Show-verse Tyrion and Shae may have had some real love but in the end they didn't treat each other as two people in love.

peak of GoT

I hate Shae more than almost any other character, but I never put it in comments until this episode.

Scriptwriters: Peter, here are some nice lines for you. Just be you. Peter Dinklage: That's so cute. Here's the Emmy. As vor Varys testifying,, he actually didn't have other choice, because there were also other people present when Tyrion dropped the "...kings are dying like flies now", if not him, Cersei or the old guy could've also said this and make him simply confirm. Shae is one of the big mysteries in the story.

Your assumptions about Shae are always so odd. She's a slave trying to live a life as painless a possible. Everyone on the stand had to say what Tywin wanted them to say; or else. She either dies. Or says this. She's not free to speak in this realm. And, no, Tyrion almost always treated their relationship as a with-a-whore-relationship. She made clear, she wanted an us-vs-them relationship... and he didn't go for that; which is fine; but she complained; that was fair enough also. Shae always understood the situation better than him. He wanted to play the Game of Thrones, and she knew that was useless. When being owned is your reality, you can only have right now, and there will be no later. Unless you build something. But Tyrion is always busy with 'the later' of other things (which in his life: is fair enough), missing out on the little 'now' she could get (which, in her life, is not). He should have left her be. Instead, he stole her, kept her, handled her. That feelings were genuine does not count: she IS a slave. And he played a relationship with her. And she played back. Sure. But there was no freedom, and very little choice. She once chose to try to build something with and for Tyrion; denied payment to leave. That was probably the only choice about her circumstances she ever had. And that backfired. And now she is lying for her life. The one she wanted to protect is gone. And the one who was supposed to protect her, has no might to shield her from Tywin. You want her to say the truth and get hanged? For Tyrion? The Tyrion she knows is not the one we all enjoy watching. From her POV: he hates her, and all efforts were for nothing. And now she goes back to just surviving.

Your Editing cuttings so much of the scenes & Lines we want to see 🥲💔

I dont think its ever confirmed in the books but it seems highly likely that Tywin was at the very least complicit in Joffrey's death.

THE EPISODE WE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR 🐐

Is this the season that Peter Dinklage won his first emmy for?! Has to be, right? He's SO good in this episode!

bro Brigg always cooks with his predictions, actaully insane

11:28 Iron Banner?? LORD SHAXX?! DESTINY 🥹🔥🍻

Varys doesn't want to be King. He has said so before that he has no desire for it. He wants to put someone good on the throne, not himself.

I'm shaikened

oh these boys have no clue what's coming in the next 3 episodes

i don´t blame shae, for her it felt like they would have a real relationship but he cared more for the politics and the games of kings landing and decided he just sends her away. So from her perspective she used her like a whore and lied to her, which can trigger someone. So she decided to play the game he likes so much and win over him at that

I love these reactions yall put out (im holding off on watching your “House of the Dragon” videos until I personally watch the episodes myself), but I’ve noticed something in several videos. I f-ing LOVE the “Destiny” (from Bungie) quotes y’all make 🤣🤣

Shay pissed me off so bad. I just could not figure out why. The whole time he was trying so hard to save her. He loved her! Shay is smart, but why did she do it?
