Yaay so excited for s6, happy tuesday!!

Darryl Low

We need more of those thumbnails Nat 💛 Love the re-caps with Tyler, and your honest discussion on how the show is moving forward. Watching you tear up and empathise with Cersei was very moving.

Danishprince

Thrones Tuesday is here yet again! Excited for the recap - Always nice hearing more in-depth what you thought of the previous season :D

Ian

Happy thrones Tuesday Nat and everyone season 6 begins definitely one of my favourite seasons so many great moments 👌 hope you had a good weekend nat and are feeling a little better, 💛 this is going to be great so let's get too it 🍿🥤

Randee Carreno

Happy Tuesday, Natalie! 😊 I'm downloading this right now so that I can watch it later tonight. I'm so excited to start on this new season. This is the season that I've seen only the season finale episode of. It's going to be nice seeing what actually leads up to the events of that episode throughout this season. Looking forward to watching this reaction this evening. Have a great day today! 😊 Until the next video, Stay Golden! 💛

John

Season 6 is one of the best season. The problem with most people is the last season

Simon Bauer

the last good season of the series :') enjoy the episodes Nat!

TwistedMagoo

I don't know that I would say this is the best season...but this one and season 7 definitely have some big reaction moments.

Kevin Anand

Yeah the mutiny doesn't make much sense in the show. In the books, they did it because Jon was planning on leaving the Watch to go help Stannis take Winterfell. And it was also more impactful because they were crying as they killed him.

Yes the waif (that's the blonde faceless man's name) loves to taunt Arya and she takes joy in beating her up, because she's jealous of her and she hates her. She's forgetting that she's supposed to be no one, and is letting emotions get in the way because she's worried that Jaqen will start liking Arya more than her, she's worried that her position will be replaced. Yes its part of Aryas training but it would've been less idk rough if any other faceless man was training her in combat

sheriffjt

Important to remember that the Unsullied are still in Mereen, likely just took a bit to get reinforcements to the arena. I'd also point out that season 6 received more critical acclaim than seasons 5 and 1, and that season 7 & season 5 both received a 93% from Rotten Tomatoes

sheriffjt

I think its also important to divorce the TV show from the books. The more you keep a constant comparison going, the less you will enjoy the show for what it is, instead of what you think it could be.

I dont necessarily consider this a spoiler because I'm not going into specifics aside from Bran but characters we haven't seen for a while, characters we haven't seen since seasons 3 and 4 will be coming back throughout this season, one of them being Bran

Kevin Anand

The Dorne plot is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Oberyn's dumbass girlfriend decides to kill Oberyn's BROTHER AND NEPHEW to "avenge" him? Oberyn loved his sister, and he likely loved his brother as well. Like what the fuck is this garbage?

Paul Gibbons

Arya and Sansa haven't had any book story since 2005 and they moved less than that season the same with Stannis he's just left Castle Black its a problem with the Books really.

Anonymous

Ellaria sand just sortve forgot what a trial by combat was and that they don't hurt little girls in dorne Fuck the dorne storyline

Brandon

Yeah, something like 90% of Melisandre's power is really just smoke and mirrors to make people think she's more powerful than she really is. I love that scene in season 4 with her and Selyse Baratheon where she basically admits that she sneakily uses potions and powders that are unknown to most people and make her seem more magical. She even has a line about shadows that implies that shadow demon she birthed was partly an illusion involving light and shadows as well. Did she drink poison in season 2 and survive when we first saw her in this show? Or did someone in her own network of spies inform her of the poison that the maester was going to use on her and she simply drank the antidote before she sat down for dinner? IMO the show doesn't quite make Melisandre as interesting as in the books, but they still do a great job with her character most of the time. I know I'll have more to say about her very soon. I think with the popularity of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, people have a certain way of looking at magic. George RR Martin's idea of magic in his books is a lot different than what we're used to seeing in most Fantasy stories. I think the TV show decided to kind of split the difference and meet people half way with its interpretation of magic which I'm mostly cool with.

Andrew Clifton

This is my favorite season 100%. Episodes 5, 9 and 10 are all in my top 15 episodes and episode 10 is #1 on the list for me. As someone who has read all the books i get it when people say "This is where it stops going off the books". Most of what happened in the books was either covered in the last 5 seasons or skipped over and changed. There is still plenty of events that happen in this season that is in the books but it's mixed. Idk what people want though. Were they supposed to sit around and wait for another book that still has yet to be wrote? And just like any book to tv or film adaptation they couldnt put every single little thing in there so some things had to be changed as is always the case. This is why it's much better to watch the show first and then read the books. That or you have to have the ability to separate the 2. Can't wait to see you make it through this season.

K.N.

I know it's hard not to let the comments affect your opinion of the show, but I hope you guys try to go into the last few seasons with an open mind. It kinda sucks that people keep trying to loudly proclaim things you haven't even gotten to yet as good or bad. You're always gonna have that in the back of your mind when judging things.

Calo Grsf

Thanks Nat for your new reaction! Great discussion with Tyler and funny too 😄 ("Grass is lovely 😆) And as always, it goes by too fast haha, the revelation at the end definitely made you confused (I love it when you are hahaha), obviously Tyrion is being Tyrion with the baby and the little emotional moment with Myrcella's death was "cute" coming from you, because you manage to empathize with Cersei, which is very characteristic of you 😄 But I really hope you will slow down and take some time for yourself because you deserve it and you shouldn't exhaust yourself, be safe and stay golden! 💛

Some people think that if they don't like the last few seasons, then nobody is allowed to like the last few seasons. It's completely obnoxious.

Anonymous

There are dozens of things Ramsey could have done to Sansa, and she would still live to give him an heir. He is an insanely cruel sadist with a vile imagination. Sansa is powerless against that, and she knew it. What could she really do other than survive and escape?

Laura Thornley

The season 5 Sansa plot feels weird because its a major deviation from the books. They basically inserted her into someone else's plot without making major changes, hence feeling like she's regressing. In the books (spoiler alert)... ... Its her childhood friend, Jeyne Poole, who's been given to the Boltons under the impression she's actually Arya (and its even implied the Boltons know this is bullshit, but are maintaining the lie for political reasons). And she suffers, so so much, and is a broken person by the time she's freed by Reek (and she suffers an injury making the jump, from a much shorter height).

Laura Thornley

Oh, speaking of Hardholme, that was one of the genuinely good changes they made in the show. In the books we don't get to see what happens, just get a report from someone else about "the massacre at Hardholme" (which is still cool, just not as cool).

Laura Thornley

As for the assassination... it makes more sense in the books, but I won't say why (yet) because its a show spoiler too.

Sarah P

I forgot about Melisandre’s magic necklace! Listen, if I was that old and had a magic youth necklace, I’d be getting naked every chance I got too . . .

john collins

there are videos of people in russia jumping off of like 10 story buildings into deep snow and being totally fine so it's actually not at all unrealistic for theon and sansa to be fine. just look up youtube videos of people jumping off buildings into snow and you'll see

Brandon Jensen - May the force be with you

when i saw that ending the first time i thought she was going to give the necklace to Jon and in some way like restore (go back in time) his body just like it keept her body young....... And by that making so that Jon never died to begin with kinda

mike

loved the season recap with Tyler as always but a few points of clarification that might explain your criticism of Jon's plot. 1) The night's watch is at least 5 thousand years old. To put it in perspective, the 7 kingdoms became 1 kingdom for a little over 300 years. So the conflict between the realm and the wildlings is extremely deep and predates almost every conflict in westeros. 2) People elected Jon for his courage defending the wall against wildings. In their eyes, that proved he was a brother once and for all. But even if he didnt, it would have been beyond their imagination to think he would let them through the gates. It just wasn't something within the realm of the possible because it has never happened in thousands of years. Also, I don't think you can depose a lord commander of the watch. They would have to die before you can elect another one. 3) The problem isn't that the Night's Watch don't recognize the threat of the walkers. Its that they see the only salvation coming from the south, not north. In their mind, letting wildings through will destroy the watch and then the wall will be undefended. So in some respects, killing Jon is a key step in dealing with the coming threat. 4) Jon, as recently as end of season 4, had the same view on the wildings too. He wanted to kill Mance and scatter the wildings KNOWING the threat of the walkers. Even for Jon, who had the most exposure to the wildings, it took a lot of thinking and growing up to come to his decision. Its Mance's truce at the end of season 4 that planted the seeds in Jon's mind and it took Maester Aemon's affirmation to finally get Jon to do it. So if it took this much convincing for Jon to agree to it, its almost impossible for those who never lived with wildings, never knew Mance and his intentions. Now none of this is justification for what they did, but I don't think their motivations were unclear or not compelling. I think if Jon hadn't been loved by a lot of the brothers, he would have died the moment he announced his plan.

Tranquil_Gnome

The birth of the new Lady Stark! She is not a fighter but is powerful in her own way. Again the joy of the show is that it takes all types of people to make a society function working together. Fighters, Nerds, Craftspeople . . . . even Politicians and their Advisors.

Daniel Campbell MacDonald

I really think people should stop bringing up the books. This happens with other reactors too. People always point out differences and how much the books did this and that better, and it really does affect people's enjoyment/feelings of the show. Stop interfering, honestly...

Brian Jones

The real irony being, there was constant communication between the Author and the showrunners. It's not as if the deviations weren't approved. And it's not as if he didn't share how he planned on ending the books. The show is the Authors vision. Granted, it's not EXACTLY the same, but complaining about a show that is literally following his vision to the best of their ability, granted with some things condensed for time, kind of makes the constant whining about the books being "better" pointless.

SmokeAndACoffee

I love how you've gotten really good at doing that Triangle Music Conductor thingy, Nat! xD

Anonymous

I had to check the comments to make sure no one had pointed this out yet. There is a MAJOR continuity error regarding Melisandre in the end scene of this episode. There was a scene Season 4 where she was clearly taking a bath without the necklace on. It might have been a costume oversight, but it’s more likely the writers just completely overlooked that old script.

Thomas Yanez

I've seen videos on YouTube and Reddit that would indicate that the snow jump thing isn't as unlikely as you think, but you wouldn't catch me trying it.

Mike Adams

Well Nat just setup her next comic series. The Joel Schumacher Batman movies

Thomas Yanez

Nat has always ragged on the Night's Watch, even their very existence, but the books impress on you a lot more that there really was a valid purpose for it. It wasn't created, and the wall wasn't built, to fight wildlings. The purpose was to prevent a second Long Night. Unfortunately, people tend to forget specifics after a thing has been around for thousands of years. Corners get cut, purpose is subverted by corruption and/or convenience, etc. The books touch on aspects of the wall's supernatural role that the show barely waves a hand at, and then only late in the series.

Alan Kobb

In the books, the walls around Winterfell are 80 feet tall, but the snow at the wall where Theon and Jayne Poole jumped was 40 feet deep. As I said in a previous comment, in the books, Sansa's part has been combined with that of a character that is not in the show, Jayne Poole. Maybe Tyler should consider being reincarnated as an elf who bakes cookies inside a tree? There are two schools of thought regarding Melisandre's necklace, but in the books she uses glamor spells, which change one's appearance, so it is more likely that the necklace simply hides her age, making her appear young and beautiful.

Thomas Yanez

Oh, and since she has gotten this far without realizing it : dead bodies don't spontaneously turn into wights (the zombies). The Night King or another White Walker has to raise the dead, like happened at the end of the battle at Hardhome. So, with no White Walker in the vicinity, no danger of Jon Snow's body getting up by itself.

Vonlinchen

If the walkers could swim, they'd be able to cross the sea to Essos and wipe out all of humanity. Perhaps it doesn't make sense, but it's certainly essential to the wider story. I disagree about Sansa, she didn't regress because she hadn't actually made progress, she just felt like she had. She was still a niave teenager, who thought she was clever & wise and could play the game with the adults, like almost everyone her age. You also mentioned Selmy's death. The show writers killed him off in that manner and the actor who plays him actually complained to them at the time, saying he didn't feel his character would die in such a way. The writers mocked him for it. Their arrogance & big headedness only grew worse from there. I agree about the poisoning of Marcella, the Dawnish woman should have died as well, it would've made the act a lot more powerful. A need for revenge so strong she would give her life for it.

Jakob

You keep wondering why people in the north aren’t immediately turning into Zombies after they die. There needs to a White Walker within proximity for a dead person to come back. So dying in the north doesn’t automatically mean Zombie but they burn all the bodies just incase cause they never know if there is one around.

Tadpoleaxe

Here's a link for Tyler. Just a thought. https://www.funeraldirect.co/tree-pod-burial/ This isn't said in jest or in a nasty way. I'm not wishing for him to use this product until the time comes. Just if he's really serious about becoming a tree.... this is about as close as we can come.

Mr. Nobody

The Night King is the only White Walker that can raise the dead by simply raising his hands or touching them.

Mr. Nobody

I love your reactions...thank you Natalie! I hope you do the UnderWorld series.

Hannah Mather

Hey Nat! Currently binging some of your past posts, but here are some ideas for future content (although I'm sure you already have enough suggestions to last a lifetime): Movie- The Prestige (seriously one of the best movies of all time imo) TV- Dr Who, Heroes Regardless, Thanks for letting us hang out with you!

Tadpoleaxe

I think this scene is when Sansa truly grows up. She's responsible for someone besides herself now (Briene and Podrick) She has to be an adult now with an adult's mindset. Her behavior from here on is more that of a noble Lady.

Thomas Yanez

I don't think that is true. There is a thing later that pretty much specifically links a set of wights to a specific White Walker while excluding others.

Anonymous

They threw away one of the best storylines in Dorne. Dorne was one of the most promising storylines and they threw it away because they didnt want to deal with it.

Anonymous

Natalie, dear god. I hoped you would have realized after Hardhome episode… Not Everyone Turns Into A Zombie! They have to be around the NightKing to be raised.

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

Yeah I don't want a beat a dead horse Nat 💛, because that dead horse still won't come back to life, UNLESS the Night King brings his DJ energy and drops that beat; hey it's still less arbitrary than the Zed words from the Romero universe, they don't even bother to explain it in that except Ken Foree's vague mall rat reference to Virgin Island Hoo Doo and Hell being overbooked 😆

Derik Knutson

I think it's been made pretty clear at this point in the show that a body has to be touched by a white walker or at least be near a white walker (or maybe just the Night King) for it to be raised. A body at Castle Black, for instance, wouldn't be in any danger or becoming a zombie while the White Walkers are miles away on the other side of the wall.

Andrew Clifton

The wall is about 80 feet in the books. Though is Jeyne Pool and Theon instead of Sansa, same difference. There is supposed to be 40 ft of snow. I found a few instances where people fell off cliffs over 100 feet into 20 feet of snow and survived. Yes they would likely have been injured at 80 feet but it could be possible. It is a stretch but I don't think it's too far off. This also isn't something the show creators threw in there, it's actually in the books. I also don't need a show that has dragons, witches, zombies or people being brought back to life to be completely realistic.

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

One or two other things I on first watch of this season considered: 1. Winter on this planet is like a fugin Ice Age sometimes, meaning, sea levels drop, land bridges and ice bridges rise and form, islands become continents, walkers, whites, and ice spiders big as hounds lol, have land to roam, they don't need to swim. Icy Hell, that's exactly how my ancestors got from Asia to the southern tip of South America thousands of years ago. Also, just after hearing Tyler and Nat mock the Whites letting the Wildling fleet slowly float away, well, er, uh, supposedly water is a famously powerful barrier to witchcraft. 2. When Nat doesn't understand how hard it is to convince people to fight the "Real War" that Jon and Ser Davos and even Melisandre talk about, it's like they might as well be talking about White Walkers like Climate Change, most people think it's a myth and you might as well be herding cats to take it seriously... These people can't imagine what sounds like a fairy tale being the end of their world, they think Jon and Melisandre are crazy!

Ellis Hugh

How did Dany's coterie escape the arena? Well there were only so many Unsullied in the arena but there are thousands in the city and one would presume that they all headed to the arena once they heard all the chaos coming from it... As far as Sansa and Theon surviving their jump, the snow piles ten feet high and higher along the walls of Winterfell in some places and the two of them would know where it was deepest.

Dante

This is my second favorite season behind season 4. Some of the strongest episodes in the whole show on this one can’t wait for you to see them!

Paul Gibbons

Martin has said he doesn't know what he's doing with Dorne and they didn't have the budget in S4 to introduce that amount of new characters for an area that had no Endgame.

Bubba Fett

Most of the book differences seem to be a matter of abbreviating plot lines to fit for TV, there is a whole character affiliated with the trip of varys and tyrian travelling to see denarys that are omitted from the show but the key points, stone men, catching grey scale, tyrion being captured jora (sir friend zone) and tyrion becoming slaves all happened, just slightly different and a bit more drawn out in the books but the end results are mostly the same.

BNJ

LOL this isn't The Walking Dead, not every dead person comes back to life. The Night King has to bring them back.

Anonymous

Holy crap, the story of removing a choker and heads falling off is real? I only heard of this from The Wolf Among Us video game. Didnt' know it was based on folklore.

N_JR

Of course. Everything in The Wolf Among Us is based off of fairytales and folklore lol

MertzRocks

I don't think that spoils the show for Nat at all, since it's different from the show.

Erik Stevenson

In Nat's defense, she's probably thinking of the Night's Watch dudes that spontaneously come back to life in Castle Black that Jon Snow fights in Season 1, which are not shown to have been brought back by the Night King - it just happens while the bodies are laying on a table in a room.

Sarah P

Excellent points. Thank you! I hope Nat reads this.

Anonymous

Of course Sansa regressed. She was repeatedly beaten and raped for MONTHS. The show runners don't do a good job of showing the amount of time that passes. She didn't regress from just her wedding night. She married Ramsey BEFORE Stannis left The Wall and he marched all the way to Winterfell through horrible weather. She had gotten stronger but no one is strong enough to deal with that level of abuse for months on end.

Anonymous

“Grass was lovely” lol I laughed at that whole conversation

jamie jones

based on your discussion before the episode i dont think im going to watch this reaction or any more game of thrones reactions from you. no point in watching reactions from someone who doesnt like the show. no offense but alot of your criticisms like sansas regression i find to be weak sauce. also certain criticisms are just clearly wrong due to either parts you missed or just a plain lack of understanding. Also it seems you clearly have made up your mind before watching that the show goes downhill this season. the show goes downhill season 8, arguably season 7(to which i disagree) but season 6 is great.

Gwenhwyfar Aine

If you like Natalie Dormer, you might love "The Tudors". It's written by the same guy that made "Vikings" and the Cate Blanchette "Elizabeth" movies.

Anonymous

no no this show goes downhill already in season 5 (but it's still pretty good and watchable but is just fact) dont need to be so offended you have right to like (i like it but i know is not this good anymore)
