Starting point is 00:02:22 that you guys send us because that's what we do. We go over them and it feeds into our review so um keep sending the questions watch and watch this with us and uh yeah let's um let's start let's get to it jaden rose the black of black water is one of the best battles of all time it's pretty cool besides all the amazing action almost every character gets a moment to do something good and bad my question is do y'all also feel the same about the big battle or do you all have a battle that might

Starting point is 00:03:04 stick out more thank you jaden for the question we appreciate you so much the battle of helms deep is my favorite battle of all time from the lord of the rings of two towers which roxy and terra have reacted to go check out those reactions they're fantastic i just think that's the greatest battle ever and there's lots of shades of the battle of helms deep while also this is doing its own thing. I'm not saying this is a carbon copy of any way. No, there's just things about it that remind me in a good, positive way. But what I love about this battle is you can really get the sense of geography. It's not confusing. Like, what is happening? There's so many people I'm so lost from the cinematography to the amounts of extras and all that. Like, it's epic, it's dramatic,

Starting point is 00:03:51 it's story-driven. It's my favorite kind of action kind of set piece. And, And also too, because you're so invested, not only in the storyline, but the characters like Tyrion, for instance, you don't want anything bad to happen. And when he actually does get hit across the face, there are sliced across the face, like, I've never seen the show, obviously, so I don't know. I would assume he's, he wasn't dead there, but still, like, when he goes into a deadpan and he's got blood just searing out of his face like that, you know, that really had me in a worry there. so to get that kind of elicit reaction out of me because I'm so frightened for a character like those are my again those are my favorite type of set pieces for action and and when you get the rug literally pulled from under you with that with the ending there with Tywin coming it really did look like the end was near and I didn't know that was Tywin and all of them so I thought that was

Starting point is 00:04:45 just such a perfect way to cap the the end battle there so I thought it was a it was definitely up there in action sequences and I can certain, say for certain that that's not me being recency bias. It was great. What about you? Yeah, I loved it. To subvert our expectations when we see the empty ship, I was like, it has to be a ploy, but what is the ploy actually for? Really, real smart, a lot of fun. But also, once when we see that actual battle and it blowing up. We're like, yay, we're going to, maybe we're actually going to win this. And then we're like, holy shite, we're all going to die. And then it comes back to Tywin, saving us. It's a nice little roller coaster ride when it comes to battle. But this is what Game of Thrones knows how to

Starting point is 00:05:38 do. They know how to film battle. They know how to obviously write it, R.R. Martin. But I loved it. The only other thing, I mean, I've seen so many movies and I'm not, like, in my memory, I'm like, I'm not going to pull out anything, probably very righteous right now, but I do know Gladiator has really good battles. Like, that is such a good film with dope-ass battles that I love. And it also reminds me of Game of Thrones-ish. And there's also Rome, if you guys haven't seen Roan on HBO, they do have good battles, like, later. My dad was obsessed with that show. It's a great show, great show. One of the most expensive shows they ever made.

Starting point is 00:06:22 But yes, I do agree with you, though, Jaden. One of the best battles of all time. I think that it was really great. Yeah, the stunts, the makeup, the choreography, the hand-to-hand. It was really well done. You can tell this probably took a very, very long time to film. And also, too, I love seeing Tyrion as a strategist, what he did with The Devil breath is that was a dragon's breath sorry with the dragon's breath how he the used it as a decoy

Starting point is 00:06:49 and then did the explosion like we i'm assuming davos might be dead but don't know it's still ambiguous because he didn't see the body you just saw him you know get blown up so we could be dead but it's going to be fascinating to see in season three if that's for sure the case but i know i made the the funny comment before we move on to the next question i'm like we got a lot of storylines to wrap up here like no we got more seasons so it doesn't have to fully be wrapped up they're just setting you up for the next season so yeah so what was your favorite part of the of both of these episodes it's got to be the dragons with denaris like finally doing the thing and yielding to her not wouldn't say command but you just helping their mom in need when they

Starting point is 00:07:35 when she needed them at the at her time of need rather in a very dangerous situation i thought it was freaking epic worth the wait and they're finally coming into their own because I know like during most of the season they wouldn't even eat the food that she was asking them as she's nurturing them and I just thought it was so worth the weight and then finding out that that man literally backstabed her and was just a little

Starting point is 00:07:57 a piece of crap this whole time so I thought that that was my there were so many different storylines I was obsessed with I loved everything of course anything Tyrion but I would say that one was my favorite what about you? I did really like it when Brie took down those three men

Starting point is 00:08:19 Just by herself In front of Jamie And you could tell he was like He looked obviously he's very impressed But he also looked slightly turned on Like he was smiling at her Which I thought was really funny And totally fits

Starting point is 00:08:34 With with you With Jamie Lannister's character I also think that You know The scene was Circe And Sansa when they're down below and they're having the conversation

Starting point is 00:08:47 and she's trying to get her drunk. There's a lot of really great light writing there. And a lot of stuff happened here, you know, with we're not, we're assuming that she's just going to have to marry this prick Joffrey. And then Marjorie comes in after the battle and you're like, what so much has changed? Like what in the world is going on?

Starting point is 00:09:09 And the fact that, you know, Littlefinger said he could, help her get home. That's a plus. The hound already said he would take her home. Yeah. So I do have hope for her. Marjorie is obviously a sexy girl. So maybe she will be able to control Joffrey more than Sansa would be able to. Good luck. We'll have to see about that. And honestly, I just feel really right now very bad for Tyrion because he, he, he, really was in a good spot and now he's very much not he's going he's back to being the forgotten man right which is really not good for us but at least he's got someone that loves him so i appreciate that but that speech he gave when everyone's morale was down when they were abandoned by the king he's not really the king he's a coward and a sniveling little weasel but when they were abandoned by joffrey and and morale was totally done they were like we're we're done for him to give that type of speech it

Starting point is 00:10:12 shows you it doesn't matter the size of the man but the man itself and the way he was able to lift their spirits with that speech i was like i'm i don't want to fight but like after hearing i'm like give me a sword let me go into bow with tyrian hell yeah i was so empowering i'm i freaking love him it's not just the quick wit it's the ingenuity of the man i love him so much peter dinklage is amazing he could realize you know in that moment people can see even if they're they're just soldiers or lowly people, as they might call them there, that they have a brain and realize that Joffrey's a real A-hole and they probably don't want to fight for him, especially with him running away. So his speech was really to adhere to their morals, their heart, like,

Starting point is 00:11:00 they're going to kill your family and your home. So it's like, fuck off to the king. It's like, let's fight for what's yours. Yeah. All right. next question fellow reject Greg from an alternate timeline is here to let you know that we have launched three new Stranger Think shirts

Starting point is 00:11:19 in honor of the final season first one up universal inspired monster poster of Vecna this is from our friend Janine I came up with this idea a long time ago I love those classic universal

Starting point is 00:11:30 monster posters I'm just so happy to see this brought to life I'm gonna get a print out of this the second one up that we have here is from the mind of Aaron Alexander from the artist Sammy who we worked with plenty of times

Starting point is 00:11:39 doctor stranger things need i say more come on how come no one's come up with this yet and the third one i'm wearing it right now reject things thanks alex for coming up with it and thanks andrew for snagging my size and course we have our classic ones up there as well we have a ton to peruse through anyone you buy is an amazing way to support everyone here who works in front and behind the camera you can scan this barcode right here on screen if you're interested to go to the link in the description box and pin comment if you end up not buying one that's a okay i'm just glad they exist so now I can be wearing them. Let's get back to the video, people. From Mad Love, thank you, Mad Love for being a royal reject, and for asking us a question.

Starting point is 00:12:17 We appreciate you so much. What are your thoughts on how Circe was behaving specifically towards Sansa down in the Crips and the fact that she was going to poison to... Sorry if I mispronounce his name, Tomen, Taman, because she believed that they were going to lose. Do you want us to go first on this? Go ahead, take it. so I think what was happening when Circe was the way she was behaving first of all she was definitely had some liquid courage when she was talking although I don't think she's ever afraid to speak

Starting point is 00:12:45 especially in front of Sansa and I think this point too she realized there's a good possibility we're going to die so I'm just letting it all out at this point anyways and I also feel like too she sees a lot of similarities between her and Sansa as well

Starting point is 00:13:03 and I think she's in a life of she feels a lot of kind of I don't know remorse is the right word but she's very ambiguous and she hates what has that she was promised a life like she had to be given to someone like robert barathean and she wanted so much more in this life like yeah she's a queen and that's great and nice but she was like she didn't choose this life this life was chosen for her and she doesn't feel freedom in that and she's saying to sansa you're a prisoner just like me and now we're all about to die and like she was just being very

Starting point is 00:13:38 honest and open I guess is what I would say as manipulative as she always is that was the communication I interpreted from that scene and then when it comes to the scene with tomm and however you say his name as much as I dislike her

Starting point is 00:13:56 and the performance is always incredible from the actor she's great but as much as we despise the character I actually thought like as a mom to a son, knowing that people are coming in there to violate and destroy and annihilate you and your child, that was actually very tragic. As much as I would like to see her get her come up and probably in like a prison cell or something and just the son to be raised by someone who's not awful and evil like her. Of course, I would never want that to happen to him, but I felt

Starting point is 00:14:25 that was trap because Stannis is now ruled by the light God, is it within him or whatever. That was probably not going to happen. He was not going to have mercy on either. of them so i felt that was actually very tragic more so on tomenside tomenside or if you say it i thought that was actually really sad and tragic the way she was displaying her mama her mama abilities there and just being in protective mode i'm like actually really feel something here and i'm supposed to hate this character i was having perspective i think that's great writing what about you so i think this stuff with tom and that's the kind choice for her it's like when you give um people who are near in war or near nuclear testing sites they all you have cyanide because it's the kinder

Starting point is 00:15:07 choice right astronauts too you have the choice to go okay let's uh let's just go to sleep now because that is the better choice than the alternative yeah um and i think i already hit this earlier by saying that that was one of my favorite scenes a few scenes when they cut to circe and sansa down there i think that you know what she does a good job of is plaguing bitter and resentful, which the more drunk she got, she was very much, uh, she was more open about showing that side, like that bitterness towards Sonsa of going like, yeah, cool, you'll be queen. Like, cheers to that. You're in the same position as me. While it's like rolling her eyes and being very obvious that she's not happy about it. Like she's obviously not

Starting point is 00:15:59 happy there um and i think she's she has no um reason to make santa feel better and fake it to be like you'll be fine which is why she i think when she asked like oh i'm sure that you'll be delighted like if if i die or if like king joffrey dies something like that and sanz had to go like no and she was like listen don't don't fee me any lines here so i think um for santa to actually see through her and for surce to give her that side of her by basically saying like we get what this is like you're a stark i'm a lannister that there's always going to be an underlying like tension here um i thought it was a very good scene i like i would say too to your point she was very bitter and she had a lot of animosity it seems for like her father i would say too

Starting point is 00:16:57 Yeah, yeah, for sure. All right, Jay Rushden. First congrats on the Dodger winning. Let's go Dodgers. The epic battle, two Emmys first sound. In the official summary, it reads, Aria, Gendry, and Pye Flea there. Question, what pie would you eat for Game of Thrones?

Starting point is 00:17:18 Tara, it's Gendry. It's not Gendry. I can hear the comments right now coming through our ears. Too bad. Get over it, people. What pie would you eat For Game of Thrones Is this like a pie from the show?

Starting point is 00:17:33 I'm also very surprised right now By going back to like that Epic Battle won for sound Which I do agree It was everything in here is epic sound But I'm also like What about the other stuff? Everything was great

Starting point is 00:17:49 Meaning like cinematography The acting Set design Costume design design. But I do, I'm glad that they did get, I'm sure they probably cleaned up with the Emmys. It may be not just the sound. But I like that you mentioned that, Jay.

Starting point is 00:18:05 I know which person won it for that sound. It was the guy doing the drums. He won it. He deserved it, Tara. I, like, give him full credit. If we're, are we talking about just regular pies for Game of the Rooms, right? I guess. Okay.

Starting point is 00:18:20 I'm just always going to go with pumpkin pie. That's my favorite. but maybe what is it a pecan pie I would go with that as well that's a pretty good pie I would go with either pumpkin or pumpkin or pecan

Starting point is 00:18:33 I like those too okay I mean key lime pie is always good cherry pie depending upon the mood if Marie Callender still existed which I think there's not a lot that still do they have a very good strawberry

Starting point is 00:18:50 pie I will say that um yeah so i don't know because you said aria gendry and pie flee there and i'm like i don't know what that means jay um i think pie is the the bigger guy the heavier said guy oh that's hodore who carries brand no no no no no with aria and gendry he's is the the kid who was making fun of aria at first he's the bigger heavyset guy oh yeah i thought oh oh okay But still, my main thing was You're basically just pulling pie from the name, Jay, right? Because when you said pie flea, you're asking about the characters.

Starting point is 00:19:34 And now I'm like, oh, but you just want to know what pie we like. Got it. But you do like pumpkin pie, though, right, Miss Halloween? Pumpkin pie is great, but you already picked that. Oh, you're like, I don't want to pick the same thing as you. No, I don't. I don't want to. I don't.

Starting point is 00:19:49 um so yeah anyhow oh okay got that's how i figured it was yep okay i'm with you now um so okay so what are your i guess uh yeah overall thoughts i thought season two was incredible i had no idea where the show was going to go after the falling of ned stark and i think this show is just as epic and season two is season one just with theon gray joy rob stark how he's had to become a king in his own right for Winterfell and his people and then what has had to happen with his wife.

Starting point is 00:20:26 There's just so many different Tyrion with the hand having to survive the Game of Thrones as well. That has been so much fun to watch. Joffrey is the biggest piece of crap of all time watching Stannis with the light god within him. There's just so many different things. A lot going on.

Starting point is 00:20:41 And then DeNaris with the dragons, of course, in Jora, I can't wait to see them juice it at some point. There's, as Terra just said, there's so much going on. And I'm, like, so invested in all these storylines. I don't know how they're able to balance everything. But I love giving praise when you are able to do stuff like that and truly call it an ensemble.

Starting point is 00:21:01 It's fantastic to watch. It's so immersive. It's so epic. I can truly say this show through two seasons is epic and deserves every bit of praise of saying that word. What about you? Yep, I would agree. Also, I am very curious as to what Rob. marrying his girl will do, especially with Walter Frey.

Starting point is 00:21:22 Walter Frey has so many daughters and he also has the bridge in which we need to get back home. So that's going to be a big issue if we don't die out here. Does he have a lot of forces? Does he have a lot of men on like battle-wise? Walter Frey does have, does have an army. Like, I don't know how many, but he definitely has people who can fight for him. That complicates things. So, no, we're going to have to see.

Starting point is 00:22:00 I'm like, I don't know what's going to happen there. But also, I'm excited to see DeNaris back with her dragons, and they take the fake gold that they're finding to get a ship, which is a lot of fun with Jora. I am excited to see because they're basically showing us maybe where she belongs. I don't know why they showed us the wall. I get that the wall went out and then she had the vision of a husband and kid that she lost, right?

Starting point is 00:22:31 But they did show us her with the Iron Throne. And I thought that that was cool. So I'm wondering if that ship is just going to go straight to Castorley Rock. How is that going to go? I do like seeing her back with her. dragons and um it was quite an emotional moment you know with john snow killing the the half um it's just it's emotional but it was a good setup right he he only wants what's best for

Starting point is 00:22:59 john snow and actually believes in him yep as much as the audience our point of view believes in him because we've seen what he's been through but also how well he is at being a fighter versus the other characters in the story have no freaking clue, but we do, right? So it gives us a good insight where we're like, well, when are we actually going to see him let it loose? Can't wait.

Starting point is 00:23:25 Fortunately, we saw a little bit of it here with one of his own men, but hopefully we'll see what happens when he like really lets it go. Can I just tell you one interaction at some point I have to see and you're going to be like that, I don't know if it might be a dull interaction,

Starting point is 00:23:42 but I don't care. I need to see, or don't call her lady, Brienne and The Hound. I want to see them interact with each other. Oh, yeah. That would be fun. That would be so interesting.

Starting point is 00:23:53 I find them both so fascinating, these two characters. It would be great if they were the exact same height. We'll see. Yeah, that would be a lot of fun. Anyway, this show is great. It's amazing. Watch season three with us.
