Tywin’s first scene is one of my favourite of the entire show. He is an incredible character, and a great performance by Charles Dance.

Fun fact : Charles Dance was actually skinning a real stag when shooting this scene. It was not a prop.

Boars are incredibly dangerous. Theyd typically hunt them with spears cause bows typically wouldn't really kill them. Those tusk are viscous, they get big heavy and charge fast.

In medieval times, boar hunting was done for food and for sport; while tasty (try spit-roasted pig), wild boars were huge, and EXTREMELY dangerous. Robert's comment about being killed by a pig was facetious.

Yeah. "He has too much honor" that sentence beautifully sums up the sad state of the world we live in.

Tywin is another amazing character. One of my fav(almost).

You finally get to see Big Daddy Tywin. He’s awesome. One of my favorite characters in the entire show.

Khal drogo's monologue - Let's Goooo Then he says that sus line - Woah let's take that back xD

"That was the shameful walk" Oh man...

This show does such a good job of making you like characters enough that you temporarily forget some of the terrible things about them. Like Khal Drogo's speech, where you (and most of the rest of the audience!) are like, "Yeah! Go Drogo! Wait... no... maybe let's not have so much rape..." even though we've known from the beginning that that's a normal part of Dothraki conquest. The world is so brutal that the writers can make details like that fade into the background when they want to, and then they say or do something to remind you of something you technically already knew, and it's like it hits you right in the face.

Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) is bad ass.

"He's teaching them how to do their job." No joke, Littlefinger is a more considerate boss than mine is.

Tywin Lannister is the only man in the Game of Thrones who understand how rule a realm. Maybe he is look like cruel, but i think he is just realistic.He is understand how the world is working. And You...dear Snaxan You are very cute. I love Your voice and Your reaction

I enjoy watching this with you and getting your perspective on what's going on. (side note) whomever you chose to be your partner I can see becoming a better person. I wish you well.

Speaking of lore, I recommend that you watch the season 1 lore videos after you've finished the first season. Jorah knew that if they gave him the pardon, it meant they didn't need him anymore. Which meant they were killing Daenerys.

17:20 its not that they hate women, its that what matters is money

Charles Dance learned how to skin and gut a stag in just one day for the opening scene. He said it was a bloody good time but it took two days to get the smell off his hands.

I have watched too many GOT reactions to count and as most people I was always waiting for the next shock to hit the reactor. This time though I have found myself enjoying watching GOT set the trap for the absolute mayhem ahead. It is fun as hell watching someone get invested all the while somewhere in the back of their brain they are thinking ahead and fooling themselves because of all the stereotypical story tropes that have been shoved in their brains. That is the main magic behind this show we are so programmed and GOT just turns it all upside down and inside out. I reread this several times and don't THINK I left any spoilers so to speak please anyone if you feel like it points to anything I will take it down. I am watching to do that if needed.

Have a very wonderful Sunday Snaxan🫡🐕🐩

🤣🤣 Yes! I do believe I'm going to enjoy watching your reaction to the rest of this show. I'm in all the way✊

Really enjoying your reactions to this series. Wish I could binge watch the whole thing with you and have these intense discussions right after each episode. So many people in my world really struggled with following and understanding this series and was frustrating to talk with about the episodes as they were released. Hope you keep going. There will be some very crazy lows and crazy highs from here on out.

The more you look into A song of ice and fire lore, the more you find that Cersei and Daenerys have a lot more common than you think

That was pretty hilarious when you were hyping up Khal Drogo but he took it too far 😅😅

It's not exactly because they hate woman that the golden cloaks will obey who pay them. Cersei is the Queen REGENT, just holding the throne waiting for the heir come to age. And Ned is the Hand of The King. They both are not the true rulers, so there aren't anyone who directly commands the city watch, and they both are at the same "rank" shall we say. So, who pays them have leverage. And in this case, the person who pays them is the Master of Coins (Lord Baelish)

Jon wanted to be in the Survey Corps but got placed in the Military Police instead

Not drinking wine because she is pregnant? That wasn't even a concern until the 70's.

Everyone playing chest….Ned playing checkers

Great reaction and cute dog.

The wine assassin guy was like: "Ok kill me, but your breath stinks! What dafuk did you eat? Did you eat your dead, rotting horse!? Can I die already, God!"🤣🤣

Poor Sean Bean (Ned Stark) never gets a break in any role he does lol

“Kinikilig ako!” “Hay naku!” I didn’t know you can speak Tagalog. Great reaction kababayan!

nax keep going to the end. you ARE WATCHING THE GREATEST TV SHOW IN HISTORY. There will e moments that will blow your mind.

Allegiances and opinions will change my dear, this is GOT.

Joffrey was nice to Sansa because his mom told him he needed to make nice with her.

21:00 yep that'll happen more and more XD

I am worry `cause you`re so adorable for this Show, you have to be prepared for moments of extreme violence in the future. But I love the fact that you like Tywin since the beginning, he`s one of my favorites characters too. The Old Lion, Lord of Casterly Rock

I missed that part where Ned changed the wording to rightful heir. Makes sense now why he didn't get Robert to confirm that those were his wishes. Poor Ned trying to be kind to people got him killed.

0:24 just a correction : it's pronounced "CAT-LIN " and not "CAYT - LIN " .

Jorah just Varis’s spy

Tywin is probably the greatest character in the show.

Wild boars are killers. Did you forget about the boar that nearly killed Rhaenyra and Ser Cristin Cole in House of the Dragon?

Ned Stark: "Stick to the Code!" Literally everyone else: "They're more like guidelines..."

Fun fact: Not having read the books and not using subtitles when watching, I always thought his name was "Karl Drogo".

Ang galing nyo po!❤

Jorah knows it's poison because he's spying for the kingdom and they know her location because of him and where to assassinate her

"i want him as my father" him: "you're my daughter you will do as i command and you will marry and breed"

Some of us have been calling him Little Shitfinger for years lol.

Remly would have made a great King. He was smart and fair.

Boars are one of the most dangerous animals in northern hemisphere. Those tusks are razorsharp. If its one animal u dont want to run into in the north its boars. Well, wolfs and bears is also top 3

Cant wait for her reaction in the next episode

21:04 lol

You said it, Ned Stark is too pure for this world.

Arya and Tyrion are my two favorites after this.

No dear, you don't want Tywin as your father haha. I understand though, Charles Dance is absolutely terrific in this series. Incidentally, what woke the White Walkers up has been a huge question in the fandom for years.

@snaxan reactions - yep, thats tywin.. and that is a real deer he's butchering.. Charles Dance (tywin) is a skilled hunter in real life.. the scene was legit lol - Tywin was much more logical, and less crazy than Cersei.. but not by a whole bunch.. he just knew when to pick his battles (literally and figuratively) lol - Boars have tusks - get one in the gut and you are as done as any bull would do.

Don't worry there'll be calmer episodes by season 9.....oh wait there was no season 9 was it? hehe. You remind me how crazy I was. So many "I hate this show!" moments but couldn't wait for the next episode.

Tywin is one of the best characters. You don't like a lot that he does but you can never deny that he's absolutely fascinating and terrifying when he wants to be. I'm sure you will be told this many times. The actor Charles Dance actually hunted and killed the deer that he is cleaning in his introduction scene. Yes it's a real deer and they needed an activity for him to be engaged in while doing the scene with Jamie and he said hey folks I really need to clean this deer that I just killed this morning can I do that. And they said sure. Meaning he really did wipe his bloody hand all over Jamie's face after doing nothing more than rinsing it with water and barely wiping it after handling all of those intestines that were completely real.

9:56 It was definitely their fault. If Robert found out the truth they’d have been destroyed.

Chaos is a ladder

“what woke them up” well that answer will be revealed to you in season 9…can’t wait till you find out it was because of Tywin Lannister

After watching her say she wants Tywin to be her dad, I have to say I kind of worry about this girl... It's very clear that while he's a formidable man, he's also not a good man or a good dad from the very first scene he's in. Sadly it's not uniquely her; I've seen some other mild to wildly disturbing reactions in recent years by various other reactors to multiple social/character cues on GoT. 21:36 Well at least she's honest about it.

Ned Stark has too much honor. . .except he purposefully changed the last wishes of his dying best friend and king. Yes, he spared Robert from a confrontation over Joffrey's parentage, but it was still a lie. Sometimes you have to lie, I guess, in the interest of rectitude. Just like, sometimes you have to decapitate innocent Nights Watchmen without so much as a hearing, because tradition demands it and because you happen to not believe in the existence of White Walkers. Sometimes, "honor" is just an excuse for a lack of compassion or imagination. Truly intelligent people find an honorable way to be strategic.

I'm very much enjoying your reaction to GOT, Snaxan. If possible, minimize the reference to the House of Dragon because some have not watched that series. I appreciate you.

“I want Tywin Lannister as my father…”😶🤐

George RR Martin is a huge fan of European History and borrows from it to use in his work.

Let's go

Catelyn is pronounced Cat not Kate.

Watch out in season 3 episode 4 there is a major hotd spoiler when joffrey is walking around talking to margery. I would just fast forward that scene just to be sure

The fact that the boy that kept serving Robert wine on the hunt was one of the Lannisters assigned by Cersie went right over her head.

Eddard Stark is not wrong in his refusal to engage in the ways of the agents of chaos he was among. Traditionally a man of honor makes no deals with subversion. This position is somewhat similar to the saying "give them an inch and they take a mile." What Eddard should have done was defeat this wide swath of subversives in the kingdom like Heracles and Theseus did when they destroyed the agents of chaos. He might then show magnanimity to his defeated foes. Cersei should have been put to death for cheating on her husband. Now to be fair, if anything the people in this show represent at best the most deformed and lowest fall of traditional society where loyalty was the glue. The king would be a center, the center of gravity around which everyone else is drawn (not necessarily by force). For he would be a reference point, as would the other nobles, of the higher possibilities of mankind (which is completely alien to modern men). A true king (or rex) is a bridge between the superior and the inferior worlds. Think of someone like Aragorn (from the LotR books, as he is not displayed in the best light in the movies). They wield powers as Aragorn did, like healing people, or like the Kings of Mexico did in engaging in magical operations to stem some disaster.

I dont think they hate women, I just think they dont think that they are as capable as a man. Especially in times like that.

Snax you’re the best

Renly was right Baelish is a slime, but wasn't wrong either, although trusting him would be dumb even by Ned standards of dumb But somehow with power that he had Ned made proper stupid moves, so annoying

You look so cute ❤

Ned is an honorable person, but u are wrong about him believing that if he is honorable others will also be honorable, he will not fall down to others low level due to his belief in honor, the only hope is that his honorable ways spreads in the future generations.. if no1 does the right thing and instead joins the game then the world will forever stay shit

the glasses are a nice touch, looks good. also if you havent watched it yet. The Gladiator and The Godfather is a must

Danny prettier on the outside and prettier on the inside? Hot take right there sarah, if you only knew what’s gonna happen

Khal Drogo and the Dothraki are not people you want to be rooting for, lady.

24:09 That was brilliant. Most of us firmly believed Ned was the main character of the show and that the Lannisters would face their doom. Right up until Joffrey said his mother and Sansa have the soft hearts of women.

You finally met the man who is the most hated, reviled, respected but also prideful person. Tywin Lannister. This man is the reason why his children are the way they are.

Neds an idiot lol I love the character, but his flaws are that he's stupid. He was happy to start a war to take the throne away, but not happy to do it again for no real reason. If he wanted to do this right, he could of easily done it with Stannis or his younger brother.

I love the symbolism of Tywin, a lion, butchering a stag, the sigil of the Starks. Tywin as a father and head of the Lannister family is definitely strong, but I'm with you...unsure whether or not I'd want him as mine. His decisions stand.

The head of the Lannister house skinning a stag, which is the sigil for house Baratheon, went right over her head.

Sweet summer child

Honestly, if you're this squirmy now, I can't see you surviving this series given what the rest of us know about what's coming in later seasons.

Oh sweet summer child ....

If the show has only one word it would be 'bwisit'

People did tell her not to watch certain scenes in season 3, right?

Ah you innocent spring child. So annoyed and frustrated. It's still only season 1. Things are going to get much much worse 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
