I dunno.
I watch ALOT of these Game of Thrones reaction videos on YouTube.
I Agree... Some are fake. And too 'overboard'. Or too emotional.
But some are not.And I been watching this guy in particular... for about 2 years now.
His reactions seem unrehearsed.
(And pretty consistent, in the way he reacts & the stuff he says, every episode)Sometimes he even has his sister react with him.
Plus, he usually uploads them pretty quickly... right after the current episode airs on HBO.
Based on 'how quickly' his footage usually comes out... not sure how he could get the episodes so far 'in advance' every week.... in order to watch it FIRST... think of some funny stuff.... then 'practice' his reaction... then record it... then edit the footage... then upload to YouTube.

He was confident the dragon would be pierced by the spear, so, why not add something extra just because? Why stop and not use what you have at your disposal? Part of Qyburn is a former Maester who knew medicines and poisons, resurrected the mountain, identified and reproduced the sand snake poison, and apparently has used it with expected success. I wouldn't consider it far fetched to soak those spear tips in poison for extra effect, just in case.

she lookig like she what jon to bend the knee to eat the box.Emilia looking good here.
I see a dragon comin, I'm out.I just peeped that about the dude walking on fire after rewatching this episode. Also when they first see the dragons you can see one of the lanister men. Shaking really bad
when tht drathraqi (i know) soldier was after bronn. bronn was dipping and diving .zigging and zagging like a mf.
nah bigbro u just old
In the equivalent era on our earth that isn't a war crime. Dragons unleashed upon civilians would be, which is why Jon advised against dragons at KL. War crimes IS unmanned drone-strikes hitting civilian populated areas. Blowing up the Sept is a war crime/crime against humanity.
^^^ This.
Whether it's The Unsullied, The Dothraki, The Lannister Army, Robb Stark's Army; The Wildlings, the Greyjoy Army, The Kingsguard, The Tully Army, or the Sand Snakes & Dornish Army... they ALL know their asses might get burned to death by Dragons at any given minute... once they sign up & pick up a weapon.
Some advice >> if you don't want to end up possibly getting bar-b-cued someday... Don't join ANY of these factions.
It's "WAR", Bro... If you can't negotiate a peace, and hostilities begin... all stops are taken out. To me, it's a crime to drag out a war. You hit them hard and you hit them fast. You overwhelm them to make them surrender and accept terms. It's just like the old saying goes, "All is fair in love and war." You don't ask for mercy, and you give no mercy. The Dothraki were about that action; you can tell they came to win a war and not a battle. Drogon was burning mofos like he was a can of "Raid" and they were a trail of ants. This was a good scene because of the savagery. It should make people wonder, "Do we really want to go to war, or can we talk this sh*t out?"
is there any wasted scenes in this fucking show....
jus wow....
Im waiting for the spiders as big as direwolves...thats the type of story I fancy...
I understand even in the books there are no cases of a dragon being poisoned.
Mothafuckas getting roasted like a St. Louis BBQ and Jamie overconfident ass talkin about, "Hold the line."
If be like, "Motherfucka, you see that big ass Dragon blowing shit up???"
It was Bronn. After the dragon burns the scorpion....he looks up and sees the very white horse that uses to "save" Jaime.
On another note, I guess that we will see Aaron Judge fighting for Dany next season.
Noah Syndergaard’s ‘Game of Thrones’ Cameo Ends in Fiery Death
Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard throwing a spear during a battle on “Game of Thrones.”HBO
By BENJAMIN HOFFMAN
August 7, 2017
It can be hard to compare the relative strengths of competing mythologies, but on this week’s episode of HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” it appeared that a Norse god could hold his own against a horde of Dothraki warriors, but was no match for a full-grown dragon.
Fans of the New York Mets could be forgiven if they blinked and missed it, but in the raucous battle between the armies of Danaerys Targaryen and Cersei Lannister, the Lannister army got a brief assist from Noah Syndergaard, the Mets pitcher affectionately known by fans as Thor. Syndergaard used his towering height and strong right arm to toss a long spear over a row of shields, hitting a horse square in the chest and stopping one of Dothraki riders in his tracks.
A helmet obscured Syndergaard’s flowing blonde locks — a trait that would make him fit in well with the Lannister family — but his face was recognizable if you knew to look for it. And when you consider the fact that Syndergaard is one of the hardest throwers in the major leagues, it was no surprise that he excelled at his role.
Syndergaard took to Twitter after the show aired, taking pride in his handiwork:
Syndergaard’s scenes were filmed in Spain, and he told Sports Illustrated in April that he brought his parents with him for his day on set since they had actually been the ones who convinced him to start watching the show.
“I think it’s the greatest TV show of all time, so just to be able to say I was in Game of Thrones is an unbelievable feeling,” Syndergaard said at the time.
Earlier this season, the pop star Ed Sheeran also made a cameo as a soldier in the Lannister army. Unlike Syndergaard, who fought bravely in battle, Sheeran just sang a song, chatted around a campfire, and then got so much criticism online for the cheesy appearance that many believed his brief deletion of his Twitter account was a result of the enormous backlash, though he has said the two were not related.
Syndergaard pitching for the Mets in April.
Syndergaard, who has not pitched in the majors since April 30 because of an injury widely attributed to the lingering affects his off-season workout regimen, has yet to start throwing off a mound in his rehabilitation program.
Unfortunately for the small-screen version of Syndergaard, there will be no rehab program, as by the end of the episode he, along with most of the Lannister army, had been burned to a crisp by the fire of the Targaryen dragon, with many of the soldiers simply turning to ash before crumbling to the ground. Syndergaard managed to defend his side in the fight, while also poking fun at his history on the baseball field.
While a dragon cannot be too discerning with who it lights on fire in a battle, keeping Syndergaard alive could have been useful. Drogon, the dragon in question, took a spear to the shoulder toward the end of the fight, and Syndergaard who has had his share of arm injuries in the past, could have offered a referral to a surgeon in exchange for his life.
Yeah
Dragons = the equivalent of nukes
Game of Thrones: Dragons Are the Nuclear Option
The creatures are the most powerful weapon in Westeros, but “The Spoils of War” showed the horrific cost of using them.
SOPHIE GILBERT
This post contains spoilers through the most recent episode of Game of Thrones, “The Spoils of War.”
It’s no secret that dragons have a deeper meaning on Game of Thrones. George R.R. Martin has specifically referred to them as “the nuclear deterrent.” Timothy Westmyer, a former research and program assistant at George Washington University, has argued in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists that dragons are “living, fire-breathing metaphors for nuclear weapons,” and that the series is deliberate in using dragons as a warning about the “inherent dangers” and the responsibility that comes with possessing and wielding such power.
But in the most recent episode of the HBO show, “The Spoils of War,” Game of Thronesoffered its most explicit portrayal yet of the carnage dragons can cause. In the episode’s climactic final sequence, Daenerys accompanied the Dothraki in a two-pronged attack on the Lannister and Tarly armies, flying Drogon over the troops and incinerating their supplies (and most of their soldiers). The resulting damage was graphic, and instantaneous. Some men were reduced to ashes in seconds, while others burned to death more slowly, screaming in agony. One soldier writhed in pain while the skin seemed to peel off his face. Both Jaime and Tyrion Lannister, watching from different vantage points, were visibly horrified by the spectacle.
likened in the past to napalm, which the U.S. infamously deployed in the Vietnam War, and which was outlawed by the United Nations in 1980.)
Dragons, like nukes, have the capacity to inflict maximum casualties with minimal effort—something President Harry Truman described as “a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on this earth.” But the cost of such weapons is that they’re so effective they can almost never be used. As Jon Snow said to Dany before she set off with Drogon, she’s gathered her armies by wielding compassion, not brute force. If she uses her dragons “to melt castles and burn cities,” she’s no different from any other power-hungry zealot, and she sacrifices the ethical compass—the soft power—that’s gotten her this far.
That doesn’t mean she’s afraid to deploy them in battle, as was proved in “The Spoils of War.” And if Jaime survives, his account of witnessing dragons in action will bolster how seriously the Lannisters take Daenerys as an enemy. But there’s another topical aspect to the catch-22 of her nuclear option. Possessing such powerful weapons only works as a deterrent to war if your enemies are similarly appalled by the cost of using them, and Cersei in particular seems unlikely to shed tears for civilians. As Westmyer writes,
Optimists who welcome nuclear weapons as a stabilizing influence insist that by their very nature, these arms cause rational leaders of stable regimes to maintain strict control over their state’s arsenals and moderate their behavior—or risk retaliation. That prompts the question: What happens when nuclear weapons are in the hands of irrational leaders, less than stable countries, or non-state actors? Fortunately for Westeros, its “Mad King” had no dragons at his disposal. “Burn them all,” he snarled while ordering his city be set ablaze rather than surrender—showing how retaliatory threats mean little to someone bent on suicidal violence.
In other words, both dragons and nuclear weapons offer the ability to wield near-total obliteration, and as such they become weapons that are extremely hard to wield. Mark Bowden, in his July/August Atlanticcover story on North Korea, wrote that “there are no good options” when you’re dealing with the threat of nuclear warfare. Daenerys, like the United States, has the ability to destroy everything and everyone that stands between her and power, but if her ultimate goal is peace, burning down the Seven Kingdoms isn’t an ideal tactic.
As Martin said in 2011, the Dragon Queen is the only person in Westeros who has the nuclear option at her disposal, but that doesn’t make her omnipotent. “Power is more subtle than that,” he explained. “You can have the power to destroy, but it doesn’t give you the power to reform, or improve, or build.” To co-opt the title of my colleagues’ Game of Thrones roundtable this week, what’s the upside in being queen of the ashes?

Yes missed that . Horse was there to the end .Damn...RIP Honor (Jamie's horse)...loyal to the end
I don't know about that man.The Boltons are worst. Cersei has done much worse as well. Nobody really seems to care about being "humane".
All I kept hearing was the Kill Bill music when B sees her target lol
Thats pretty much what the queen of thornes told jamie she couldn't imagine the level of savagery cersei unleashedThere's a 'limit' to Tyrion's war strategies.
And that limit is because.... Tyrion is NOT nearly as ruthless as Cersei. (Not even close.
Cersei will kill everybody... in order to win... But Tyrion would not.
The ONLY problem is.... Tyrion's war plans lack the HIGH-LEVEL OF SAVAGERY that is required to beat Cersei.
lil finger delivered up the weapon of his defeat
Danaris the only one claims to be the good guy.
