I've never detested a character... or laughed at one so much. He brings in so much comedy to the character, and that's what makes him so magnetic. When he shoots that first arrow at Rickon and it misses - he just gives a little shrug. As if you told him the bus is a minute late. Truly, what a great actor.

Also…Ramsey’s death scene is a call back to the very first episode when Ned be headed the deserter. Jon told Bran to not look away or father will know if you do. Ramsey is Sansa’s first execution so she has to be the one to pass the sentence and she had to “swing” the sword. The dogs were her sword and she didn’t look away.

If there's one thing everyone agrees on about the later seasons of GoT, it's that the production value, cinematography, acting and all of the technical aspects are practically flawless. Very few shows are able to reach the heights this episode did on a technical level in their entire run.

@@Marta-uv4id yeah I call it the payoff season. Season 5: Triggering Season Show was so dark it triggered congresspeople. season focused on taking it to the ultimate extremes of pain/torture. (Meryn Trant, Sansa/Ramsay, Shireen) S6: The Payoff Season Pendulum swings back to the right after massive fan depression in episode 5. Whole season is low IQ audience payoff with no regard for logic or reason. (See piles of bodies in 6x9) Season 7: The Marvel Season Peak of Marvel/GOT popularity, still had a following season so the show-runners couldn’t take risks. Every line is cringy banter, callbacks, or the most predictable line. Season is focused on big budget spectacle with no thought for nuance. S8: The Sunset Season D&D gives 7 middle fingers and rides off into the sunset. Butchering characters they always hated, and giving their favorites sweet endings. They clearly hated Dany and loved Cersei so they each get their respective endings.

@@katearcher8514 By keeping in mind that the only thing that stands between his men and certain death is their already flimsy battle plan. Jon got off wayyyy too easily for this. Any noble from the North with a decent head on their shoulder would never trust Jon in matters of command or rulership after such hotheadedness. There came a point in the show where people had too much modern expectations of the characters, and the writers turned to fanservice rather than keeping to the world's setting. While on the personal level we celebrate Jon's "revenge drive", and it could make sense character-wise, in the context of the world, what we see is an abandonment of his duty as a commander. And there were zero consequences for it. Sansa was also plain moronic by not instructing her brother to delay the battle so that they could actually coordinate with the Vale, instead of plopping them in the script deus ex machina style.

When I recently rewatched, I realized I had totally overlooked Sansa before. She is a great character!

I think this is literally the first episode of Game of Thrones where you actually feel good at the end. Only took 6 seasons! And it literally ends with a man being eaten alive by dogs! 😂

I thought I saw your eyes tear up with happy & proud tears for Sansa!!! That smirk at the end is everything we needed for her.

You HAVE TO watch the "Making Of" video for this episode!!!! Yes, there's cgi, but not nearly as much as you would think. Ridiculous choreography and stunts from people and horses, including Kit H. standing in front of a line of charging horses, and the one-shot is a masterclass.

Watching John between this horses is the hardest thing for me in the whole GoT seasons PS: Munch munch crunch crunch

The look on your face when Jon first got to Ramsey 😂

It indeed was outstanding, back when it came out but also today still. Such battle scenes were unseen on a TV show, even most Blockbuster Movies lack such scenes. Kit said he got quite some anxiety from it though, as the getting squeezed felt a bit too real for him.

She only sent for them when Jon couldn't get more men because she didn't want Ramsey to survive and she knew Jon was more than likely not going to kill him before dying. Yes she has a right to be angry and vengeful absolutely but she's almost as bad as Ramsey in my opinion. She doesn't have the physical strength to do what Ramsey does but she's manipulative and shady. She also didn't really tell Jon anything of any real use lmao just not to do what Ramsey wants that's not really useful she may as well had told him to make a wish cause that's about as useful as her whining about how Jon needed to do something but not really telling him anything to do lmao useless

Battle of the Bastards AKA "Lord have mercy I'm bout to bust!"

here for the munch munch crunch crunch! one of my favourite episodes of the entire show hehehe

Watching this with Brad is just perfect! His expressions are exactly what I feel inside.

The close up shots was all real shots & choreography, down to the horses charging at Jon. There is a one shot camera sequence as well, that's extremely impossible to pull off. It was just amazing work. Sn: Sansa ate those lines UP! The Sansa arc is so satisfying. "Your name will disappear, all memory of you, will disappear". "They WERE & now they're starving..." QUEEN

Have watched this an absurd amount of times already. This is one of your best and I have been waiting for you to get to this point it's so satisfying. Great job. I live for all of it.

Yup glad you caught the Dany parallel inverted. Which is really the difference of the two sides of the targaryen coin. And Jon's coin is landing in the right place. People get hung up over the logistics of this episode. But what really matters is the long road to the payoff, the catharsis you get after getting the rug pulled from under your feet over and over again. What other show will keep the protagonists separated for 7 seasons? the longer the wait, the sweeter it is. The battle is also the theme of the resurrection of winterfell via Jon Snow's own arc. He metaphorically comes out of the womb. The kings of Winter are back in their ancestral seat after years of heartbreak. The stark curse is over.

I was smiling at your reactions the whole time - you’re such a bloomin joy to watch Brad ☺️

The clip of CelinaSpookyBoo flipping the bird while sleep walking is everything 🤣 fucking love that woman 🥰

Arguably one of the best episodes of GOT ever. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Director tor Miguel Sapochnik and Kit Harrington did a deep dive on how the trampling scene was a metaphor for the rebirth of Jon. Jon by the time of the battle is a man beaten down by circumstance. His increasingly agitated interactions with the people closest to him is reflective of his inner despondence and self-doubt. This is a man betrayed by his own Brothers. A man who's lost faith.That famous one take of Jon in the field dodging arrows and horses is the height of his resignation to fate. That's the point where he's on auto pilot with a singular purpose to kill or die. Probably the best way to remain alive in a pitched battle, when you've already accepted you're as good as dead. But as the crush starts and he gets buried under a mass of humanity, he's finally forced to slow down. There's a close up of his face looking almost serene, like he's finally at peace with the end. But in this process of letting go he also starts to regain the humanity he had lost after being betrayed. From under the stampede he finds a new desire to live stronger than before, and as he comes up gasping for air, he emerges a man reborn. THIS, is the real Resurrection of Jon Snow. Or as Sapochnik calls it, 'the vaginal birthing shot' lol. It's a parable for the reawakening of The North. The turning point. Jon being raised above the stampede mirrors another similar turning point moment. To S3 finale "Mhysa" where Dany is held aloft the human tide, except the circumstance is turned over its head figuratively and literally. Btw after hearing the slow sad version for so long, the "triumphant reprise" of the Stark theme as they break through the Bolton lines is perfect use of emotive BGM.

@gunkulator1

Ай бұрын

Think it through. If she waits for the Knights of the Vale to arrive first, Ramsey doesn't come out to fight at all. He only abandoned his superior defensive position behind the walls of Winterfell because he thought he had an easy victory against Jon. In the end Jon's forces were just a decoy. Sansa and the Knights of the Vale win the battle. Robb Stark pulled off the same thing in Season 1 against the Lannisters.
