From the mind of George R.R. Martin and adapted into HBO’s global phenomenon, Game of Thrones brings to life the epic fantasy world of Westeros and Essos — filled with dragons, betrayal, political intrigue, and unforgettable battles. In Episodes 5 & 6, the stakes rise dramatically as alliances fracture and the fight for the Iron Throne intensifies. Episode 5 features Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke – Me Before You, Terminator Genisys) unleashing her fury in the fiery destruction of King’s Landing, one of the most infamous and controversial moments in television history. Episode 6 delivers the powerful series finale where Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright – The Awakening) is chosen as king, Jon Snow (Kit Harington – Eternals, Pompeii) makes his final fateful decision, and Arya Stark (Maisie Williams – The New Mutants, Doctor Who) sets sail toward new adventures. Also starring Lena Headey (300, Dredd) as Cersei Lannister, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Oblivion, Shot Caller) as Jaime Lannister, Sophie Turner (X-Men: Dark Phoenix, Survive) as Sansa Stark, Peter Dinklage (Cyrano, Avengers: Infinity War) as Tyrion Lannister, and more. Tara Erickson & Andrew Gordon dive into the most shocking, heartbreaking, and controversial scenes of the series — reacting, reviewing, and breaking down the legacy of Game of Thrones’ explosive end. #GameOfThrones #DaenerysTargaryen #JonSnow #GOTFinale #IronThrone #Westeros #HouseStark #HouseTargaryen #HouseLannister #Dragons #GoTReaction #HBO #React #ReactTo #Reaction #HBOSeries #HouseOfTheDragon #SongOfIceAndFire #ASongOfIceAndFire #GeorgeRRMartin #Literature #Books Follow Andrew Gordon On Socials: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MovieSource Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/agor711/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/Agor711 Follow *Tara Erickson* on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/ twitter: https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 8 Finale Reaction & Breakdown: https://youtu.be/sGlRbFU9u5Q Gen V Season 2, Episode 6 Reaction: https://youtu.be/244BRlVl7Ls Batman Begins (2005) Movie Reaction Commentary: https://youtu.be/WyP7FG1tWbk Dexter Season 4, Episodes 1, 2, 3, & 4 Reaction: https://youtu.be/naBd-QMt0A4 0:00 Checking In! 1:25 Game of Thrones 1x5 Reaction 24:18 SHOPIFY 25:35 Game of Thrones 1x6 Reaction 49:48 Game of Thrones Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Aparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/praperhq/?hl=en Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG Follow GREG On INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thegregalba PLAYLISTS: Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

18:55 This first season has already had some incredible exchanges, but the Cersei and Robert scene is the first undeniable accomplishment, like its dramatic weight and implications sit you upright and lock you in

Kudos to Ned, Jaime looked like he actually had to try a little there.

I find it funny how Viserys starts out confident in his safety in Vaes Dothrak, since the Dothraki can't spill blood in the city, to the point where he threatens the king and queen and the unborn prince. Apparently he doesn't consider that there are ways to hurt and kill a man without spilling blood... and that those ways can be worse

Sansa is a child who is just verbally lashing out. Joffrey is a child yes, but a malignant psychopath. Lets not compare
