I usually have my reactors on my phone or ipad. Then I've got the movie going, on the TV. 😘

Anubis

I'd like to watch the full length watch alongs, I have my own copy [on HBO/MAX if that matters at all], but do I need an extra tv? I'm honestly confused how to go about it. Would someone be kind enough to help me out on this, please? Would be much appreciated!

You weren't reading closely enough. That's spelled out in the books. Just like who Jon's parents are.

Courtney Conover

they'll be around at minimum 5 years before defeated in the books. That's always been the plan. Also, there's no Night King, so defeating the dead is significantly more difficult

ooh in case this wasn't brought up, I LOVE this guys sketch comedy bits on YouTube and he put this up -originally- sometime before the final episode aired (if I remember correctly) HILARIOUS but also PAINFULLY true https://twitter.com/theryangeorge/status/1128055165293080579?lang=en

Not Bran consistently speaking like an automated voice bot when you call a customer service line. Stop speaking riddles man! 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

BRIDGECO

Yeah as far back as season 2 I knew it was gonna come to a build up moment where she was gonna have to choose to be the mad king or not. I had hoped she would overcome it but being Game of Thrones I should’ve known better. I’m ok enough with everything with where Dany ended up, it was dramatic and impactful and I think definitely foreshadowed. I just didn’t like Jon loving her so much in the first place (didn’t really feel earned to me, it just seemed to happen for sake of the plot) my biggest problem is Bran and everything after. Also Cersei not getting a more violent death and Jamie choosing to not redeem himself 😂

I remember when the show first aired, people were losing their shit over how Dani supposedly went crazy without warning. Except she didn't. She had been threatening to burn cities since season 2, and the reason why people didn't take it seriously was because she was just a girl with no army and two small dragons. She had been committing acts of cruelty since the early seasons of the show, and people gave her a pass, because they agreed with her choice of victim. The point isn't that they deserved it, though. The point is that she had the capacity for cruelty ever since she watched her brother get himself killed, and it wasn't taken seriously because she was righteous, a crusader, she killed people that were generally disliked and she was "just a girl", something the show points out repeatedly, not just for her, but for every female character from Arya to Cersei to Dani, hell, even to Brienne of all people. It's a misogynistic world they live in and the writers played off the audience's own internalized misogyny to make the turn seem unexpected when in fact the signs were always there and there was a 7 season slide which culminated in the loss of her friends and her children, and the realization that it had all been based on the lie that she was wanted and needed in Westeros. The writers didn't do her dirty, they did what they had been doing since Ned lost his head.

Courtney Conover

Impatiently waiting for the editing extraordinare Cody to get those videos up! lol

Gunnar

Yeah if I had to guess Bran being king is a George Martin idea, just like Dany turning to the mad king(I mean George literally named her DanAERYS). The shows end points are gonna be really similar to the books but how they get there is actually gonna be justified and make sense lol

MetalBabe Sami

Honestly I wish Cersei could have witnessed Jamie getting crushed by the rubble and have her survive. BUT just when she thinks she’s escaped death, have Dany and Drogon light her ass up lol.

Annette Gaskins

I don't think Bran was able to see the future. Only what has happened, and what's going on right now.

BERSERKER KING REVIEW'S

😂😂😂facts!

Caroline Price

There is an awesome podcast called Game of Thrones season 8 Redux. No one was paid, just a lot of lovers of the show re-doing the season the way they felt it should end. It is really worth while and the ONLY spoilers i will say is that Bran does worg into a dragon (as you hoped) and Aryia does her face magic to be one of the main characters. I’m sure I’m spelling those wrong.

SeaShel

PLEASE do full watch alongs!

Yen Shively

Unfortunately it hasn't even remotely begun. All ASOIAF shows are on the shelf besides HOTD, Dunk and Egg (Knight of the Seven Kingdoms... which will be freaking amazing I'm sure. One of my favorite stories in the ASOIAF world). And an eventual Film on Aegon's Conquest. Those are the only ones currently in the works. Really do hope the Snow show eventually gets made though. It's a good way to *maybe* retcon some things, and maybe Jon actually deals with the true "Others".

Jason Cascante

I also feel pretty duped with Jamie running back to her one last time and making his entire character arch worthless. "I never cared for them, innocent or otherwise. " *Literally murdered the King he was supposed to protect to save the people off Kings Landing* *EDIT* So yeah Cersei being killed by falling rubble isn't what anyone wanted for her but it would have been much more bearable if she was alone in that moment.

Jason Cascante

Bran: I can't be Lord of anything, I'm the Three Eyed Raven. Also Bran: THAT'S KING THREE EYED RAVEN!

BERSERKER KING REVIEW'S

🙄in my personal opinion how it ended was completely shit . The two biggest things that pissed me off was cersis death. Idk care how ✌🏻poetic ✌🏻it was , she deserved a brutal and satisfying death for how much of a monster she was threw out the season s . She got such an easy way out with the writing. 2nd …REALLY BRAN?! BRAN AS FUCKING KING?? That has to be the stupidest choice of writing I’ve ever seen. I do t give a shit if is the raven he literally barely did anything the hull 8 seasons in general let alone to deserve to be king. In fact his character story had to be the weakest of them all to the point it was pointless . Literally everything would still be moving forward as a story without him when it comes to how he was written. Probably was written waaaaayyy better in the books is my guess . But from show writing the writers sucked! You can’t convince me him being king of all kings in the end made ANY sense and DESERVED…..

Ignacio

During the drinking game Pod drinks when Tyrion says to brianne “you’re a virgin” hope you caught it! That’s why they never took the money from him. Lol

Amanda Sargent

Ditto!!

😎🤩💯😊♥️😬😉

joseph Arias

the jon snow show is filming i hope and the cast is going to be back. even the mother of dragons . can't wait.

Gylfie

I was so angry with how they ended it (being a book reader to a unfinished story) I never thought Dani would have become her father, but re-watching with you guys it's made me realize .. yes, she fucking would have and who could have blamed her, everyone she love and trusted died or failed her and her only trump card was Drogon and burning it all but I still agree with the lack of give a shit with many characters. Only saving grace to the ending was the fight between the hound and the mountain, least they gave us that. Can't wait for you to watch House of the Dragons:)

Kelby Farley

Can't wait to hear what you thought!! I enjoyed the ending myself. I'm sooo gonna mess with people on YouTube now. Gonna post spoiler comments and sit back and watch people flip out. Should I or no? I believe it would be funny

Dana Sow

I can't wait for you guys to watch Hot D. Since its only 10 episodes, I hope you guys show the reaction to the full episode.

Emily Rose

If Bran can see the future he let kings landing burn so that he could be king. The writers having Dany go “crazy” just so Jon could kill her is misogynistic. I do love seasons 1-6, 7 was good, and it overall was a great show with an out of character ending. HOTD definitely revamped my enjoyment of this world and it is a very good show

Aloy

So excited to hear your thoughts about every season, the characters, the houses, the deaths, all of it. I hope we get a graveyard update too, I've enjoyed those.

BRIDGECO

One of the more satisfying endings!

Abraham Lever

Can’t wait to see The Cleganebowl reaction too!

Abraham Lever

Congrats on the journey guys lol. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the ending during the eventual stream.

jaeideun

excited to see HoTD reactions coming! i’d love to see your perspective on GoT and its ending after watching season 1 of HoTD.

jaeideun

can’t wait to watch the last episodes with you guys! i’m upset how they ended some characters arcs, especially dany and cerseis buttttttttttttttt nothing tops the anger, disappointment and disbelief as tyrion basically making bran the king…….. “why do you think i came all this way” okay evil 3 eyed raven who manipulated all the events so he could rule

Chrissy

I have seen how Cersei and Jamie died and I DETEST that she almost got what’s seen as a romanticized death. With her “love” in death, together. Hell no, it should have been brutal and that was not it.

The Emerald Duchess

Way to go you guys! There is a FANTASTIC featurette that HBO did documenting the last season. You get to see behind the scenes stuff from production, costume, hair and makeup and even follow an extra that was there from the start. YOU GUYS DEFINITELY WANT TO WATCH THAT! It’s super good for closure! It’s called ‘The Last Watch’

TheHighLife

I enjoy your watchalongs so much! please do at least 1 more 🙏🙏

Pam Nail

Same. Pacing could have been better -- especially more buildup to Dany's madness -- but I'm down with pretty much everything that ended up happening. (Yes, I know I'm in the minority and don't want to fight with anyone about it!)

mya

I can’t wait for house of the dragon though guys, i know this shit is going to be a wild ride as well. It is quite literally a Targaryen Telenovela

mya

I personally don’t hate the type of ending it was like Daenerys madness arc and Bran as king however the way they rushed it absolutely destroyed it like those types of arcs need time and development that the writers just didn’t deliver. Then the amount of plot armour and just stupidity of certain things like your telling me, GREY WORM, would not kill Jon after that?? or Drogon? People say it’s a Targaryen thing but that was his mother and his rider. Deepest connection of all. And Grey Worm was so loyal, even after everything dany did. Also to me these last two seasons are just a mess, so much inconsistency in the world and writing and the fact that Cersei was like the final boss. The white walkers were teased for years as the great threat only to die in one episode.

Megan Burland

once season 6 ended ive just been waiting for HOTD so excited to watch with yall!

mya

i feel the exact same way, i personally don’t mind a daenerys madness arc, it’s one of my favorite types of characters. Like my top 3 have anakin and jinx but it was just done so poorly that it became unbelievable. Also early season Bran had such great potential for a future king but another thing that just needed time and development to work.

Jason Cascante

I'm not a huge fan of this final season, but I've had time to think about it plenty. Can't wait to see your initial reactions! I swore I would never watch GOT again but your guys got me to do it and it's been a ton of fun!

Jason Cascante

Fucking hyped!

Mama Browsss

I didn’t hate the concept of the ending. Just hated that they rushed to get to that point. Like all that story telling and the details from seasons past were thrown out the window just to hurry up and be done with it because the producers of GoT wanted to move on to other projects cause they’re heads got too big. Where are they now!??

HoneyBiscuit

I been keeping up with BRIDGECO since season 2 of game of thrones and loved your reactions and looking forward to seeing more! I hate to be greedy but I can't help it so I'm gonna ask, can we get one more watch along for " The Bells " episodes please?

Ed Garland

So excited to watch these last episodes with you two! I've actually been watching House of the Dragon (again), and picturing specifically your reaction to it 😆. Can't wait to get to watch those with you too!!

Ry.Blair

Dany is not the Mad King!

ang

i will always love got and it was so special watching it live from beginning to end in real time but that being said it’s truly remarkable how d&d managed to take such a beloved show (and certain characters) and ruin them so quickly and with such disregard to anything that had happened previously in the story those men are never to be trusted ever again

Jayson Lyons

Game of thrones just ended how it started! Arya is uncle Ben, who is traveling. Sansa is Ned stark, ruling the north. Danny is her father the Mad king. Jon snow is Maester Aemon targaryen, heir to the iron throne but with no desire to rule!! There I said it!! You welcome!! ☺️☺️❤️

Jayson Lyons

I LOOOVED THE ENDING!!! I think it ended well!!

Jayson Lyons

Yaaaaaay!!! Alot of emotions I know!! 😢😢❤️

Sky Rigsby

"Sandor... thank you." TELL ME YALL AINT CRY WITH A STRAIGHT FACE

Brian Goodheart

I agree. Other than things being too rushed I don’t hate the character decisions and how it ended.. I think all that made sense. People were way too harsh mostly because they were stuck on seeing Dany on the throne.. But I’ve told people since it aired, “If you didn’t think Daenerys wasn’t going to go crazy at the end then you weren’t paying attention, because they telegraphed that from the very beginning..”

Itss_NattyJ

That was the main storyline that was the most disappointing to me. I really hated how they wrapped up Jamie’s story and turned him back into a f**k boi/Cersei Simp. I wish they would have allowed more time with Arya and Gendry so their relationship didn’t end so awkward. Gendry is one of my favorite characters so I was happy he got to be Lord of Storm’s End and a leader on the council.

Itss_NattyJ

Fantastic update! Thanks Cody!

Krazy Meg T

I'm so excited for you guys to finally get to the end can't wait to see what you guys thought I did not mind the ending of the show a lot of people hated it I thought it ended the way it really should have now I just want a spin-off show about John and torment 😁🤣

Jessica Houser

Me too! Actually, I thought she should have done it sooner tbh!

BRIDGECO

There was a bit of shit talking mixed with “but it’s still a great show” continuously thrown in 😂

Marcos Paulo

If that ending was today they could've blamed it on AI. 😂

Brian Goodheart

I personally think the most “bittersweet” ending would have been Gendry on the throne at the end.. Series starting and ending with a Baratheon on the throne.. Plus an amazing character arc for his character.. Also Jaime should have 1000% killed Cersei..

Ry.Blair

Don't come for me😂 but I went full mad King when I watched Dany burn Kings Landing. I was yelling "Burn them all." Dany wanted to break the wheel.... Kings Landing was the wheel. She wasn't the "mad queen" as many tried to call her, but someone who had everything taken from her. From her parents and siblings, to Khal Drogo and her baby, to Ser Barristan and Viserion, Jorah, Rhaegal and Missandei. It was grief and anger, not madness. Anyone, I cannot wait to see your reaction.😂

BRIDGECO

I still am riding the adrenaline of it 😂 it’s not over til it’s edited and posted tho!

Jessica Houser

Omg...it's kind of sad it's almost over! I've watched every episode with you guys...you have the best reactions to it! (I just watched your reaction 8x3 for the 4th time since yesterday....Lol) I can't wait to know if you loved it....or were disappointed!
