UNCUT REACTION - Game of Thrones S1E8 - The Pointy End
Comments (22)
First of all, I hope these do well enough on YouTube to continue. But secondly, even if they don't, I hope you will consider at least recording/releasing these uncut reactions here on Patreon for seasons 2-8. It's been fun re-watching the series with you guys.
Amen.
A Giles reference? Buffy season 2 reactions incoming?
lol no
Do you guys know when/how you will determine if you'll continue watching on here for season 2?
If the YouTube edits don’t bomb
Cersei= The ruthless ambition
Also, remember the times aren't like a normal show, things are shown in dramatic order, no necessarily chronological, and for narrative convenience, some episodes may depict events that take place over months. The "ravens" thing does allow them to have communication faster then would have been reasonable possible for this time setting.
Ravens here are just like owls in Harry Potter, just not as smart or flexible. It's very reasonable that ravens could be trained to deliver messages over distances, and then each raven would be trained on one or two specific routes.
Varys actually got the order of events wrong. The king left for the hunting trip before Ned's conversation with the queen so he couldn't have had any impact on his death, if she ordered to keep him drunk the order was given before the conversation, this is Varys' interpretation of what happened (or he wants Ned to believe this for whatever reason.)
Don't forget that honor slap.
I like the way they jump around to 46 different characters because it really adds to the sense this is a world with a ton of people, no one being more important than the other. If they cut out people then every week would be like TNG " this is a Jon episode" "Next week Arya learns a lesson in murder on a very special Game Of Thrones". Show me the world and how these various events all impact the story.
Robb was my first favorite character. At the time the audience was all about Tyrion while Robb wasn't really considered one of the stars, but he was a great character and Richard Madden played him perfectly.
It blows my mind how many moving pieces there are, how many characters with unique personalities motivations and goals there are, and how much world building and history is established in just one damn season.
You should read the books. Your mind will be blown. The show is great, but it's just the surface of the intricate world the George RR Martin created.
1:12:08 I think the word you want for Sansa is "pathetic" LOL!
1:11:34 I think you mean: – Tyrion is the wit. – Jamie is the brawn. – Cersei is the cunning.
Please continue to watch GoT. Once you see the last few episodes I have a feeling Josh will want to keep going.
GoT always does a great job of building momentum towards it's finales
I really hope you guys continue with this series, it's been great fun to rewatch the show after having a handful of years to digest the ending.
58:40 Julian Glover is fantastic.
2:25 Yes, but her death was really near the end of the season, too.
