Game Of Thrones Season 7 Episode 4 Review

Hey you, welcome back to the channel. And guys, Game of Thrones episode 4 of season 7, some are saying best Game of Thrones episode to date right now. And with everything that's happened, I think I'm gonna pretty much have to agree and be on board with that because we did get a the reunion of all the Stark children, and that was just, uh, amazing as we've seen their, uh, their individual journeys and they all end up, you know, back with one another. But the character that's real— I'm really excited about, I, I really like what they've done with the character, uh, is Brandon Stark, uh And, you know, Bran, of course, knowing everything, and he can see everything, he's become this stoic, uh, you know, uh, uh, detached from, uh, humanity, uh, being now the Three-Eyed Raven. But what's, what's kind of, uh, weird for me, what's interesting is that there seems to be kind of two Brands, doesn't it? We remember the Brand who had the visions, who was still Brand and still quite interested in, uh, you know, pretty much what was going on in his, his, you know, his family's life. Uh, so I don't know if the visions have changed him and he's no longer, uh, he's looking at more of the big picture now than, you know, than, you know, what's happened. But it's just weird when he keeps saying he's no longer Brandon Stark. And we remember we got the Three-Eyed Raven downloading himself kind of at the end of season, you know, when the White Walker, the Night's King, took over the weirwood tree they were living in. But, you know, just something strange about that I'm trying to put in my head now is, is Brandon Stark really become someone else? Because He seems also very detached from his family, almost like he don't— he doesn't know them, almost like they're all just, uh, you know, parts to play in this story and what's, what's, you know, what's coming next. And, uh, um, yeah, just, uh, you know, interesting, you know, even when, um, they did the scene with, uh Benjen Stark, who took him to the Wall. You know, Bran was like, thank you, Uncle Benjen. Even then, Bran seemed more attached to, you know, his family. And now it's just kind of strange to see his character take a dramatic turn. You know, maybe he's learned more that we haven't seen yet and it's changed, but it's almost like Bran's someone else too. You know, it's like he's Maybe he's many people, and maybe that's part of why he's acting this way. He doesn't really, uh, uh, uh, uh, you know, have this relationship anymore with the— with everybody else. You know, maybe he's found out maybe he's many people through history, that he's been many people, he's done many things outside the Stark family. So just all very interesting. I love what they've done with the character, and I'm Very interesting seeing, you know, more of what's happening. But of course, guys, we got to see, you know, Dany, you know, pretty much coming to her rules end with Tyrion's council. You know, Tyrion, you know, wants to do things a certain way, and it kind of, it kind of harkens back to what Lady Olenna was telling Daenerys, you know, earlier. It was almost like she was saying to her, you're doing things Tyrion's way, you're doing things a Lannister way. Almost like, don't trust a Lannister because Tyrion has a vested interest in the protection of his family, you know, who's, you know, at the helm of all this. And so Daenerys kind of just comes to her role in with that and decides that You know, she puts that together and says, are you— you know, it's almost your family. You mean, are you trying to aid your family in this effort? And is that why we're partly losing here? And I thought that was, you know, so wisdom, you know, in Daenerys' character. Because of course, you know, I think Tyrion is on Daenerys' side, but obviously he's gonna do, you know, what he can to some effort possibly to help his family, at least help Jaime to survive, you know, which I kind of felt like, well, yeah, that will somewhat aid in the war effort because I think we pretty much know at this point Jaime's not going to turn his back on Cersei, that he's gonna fight with her towards the end. And, right, you know, as we got to see in this scene, I think at this point. It's a little bit too far gone, uh, to, uh, try to, uh, repair the relationship with Jaime and Tyrion. There's too many Lannisters dead. It's too, too, too much is lost now. I don't think they can come back off of that. Um, but we also got, you know, this very, uh, uh, you know, interesting scene with Jon Snow, you know, as we got to see and Daenerys where he's mining the dragonglass, but he's showing her this panel before he starts to tear down the walls further to mine of how the White Walkers came together and how, or rather, how the First Men came together to fight against the White Walkers. This real world-ending threat. But I'm kind of— it's kind of confusing because it's like, okay, is Daenerys— she doesn't ever really respond to Jon in a definitive way, like, I believe what you're talking about, I am willing to, you know, take this serious. But she does make a very interesting statement, and it kind of made sense to me. It made a lot of sense because what she was saying— what she was saying to Jon, yeah, I will fight for you, I will fight for the North, but, uh, will you bend the knee? If this cause is as important as you're saying, uh, looks like it wouldn't matter if you're king in the North or not. And that is a good Good point. You know, that is a good point. That's a point, uh, you know, that, uh, does make sense. If the North really believes they're gonna face this and this, uh, very serious threat on this level, if they really believe Jon is King of the North in the seriousness of this, and it's almost like they don't either. So I'm, I'm assuming that some of these people are going to have to actually see it. I think seeing is believing, and I think until you actually see something you're always kind of— maybe even if you sort of believe it, maybe you feel like the threat can be, uh, dealt with, uh, you know, by yourself or something. But they should be, uh, willing to really, uh, uh, you know, bend the knee if that's what it's going to take, because, uh, it's not going to matter. Like they said in many earlier episodes, so we, we kind of was left off with that. Doesn't know if John did it or not, or, you know, when he's gonna do it. I think Jon is gonna do it because Jon to me is a person who doesn't really want to be king anyway. But not only that, he sees the biggest, you know, the bigger picture. So I believe he'll do that. But kind of weird too that Daenerys still wants him to do that. And, you know, and that means she's thinking still about the Iron Throne over there, you know, over the rest of the continent. But, you know, like I said, maybe it's about seeing is believing. And, you know, of course we got the battle scene that everybody did— everybody, you know, just was waiting on, anticipating, talking about. And that is Daenerys finally going off on Drogon. Leading the Dothraki horde into open field battle, catching the Lannisters with their pants down on the way back to King's Landing with a lot of gold, a lot of gold. And, you know, we got to see where HBO spent a ton of money, just some of the best Obviously, you know, the best CGI I've seen on a TV show. You know, definitely they probably spent like $50 million on this episode. You know, rivals movies, better than a lot of movies. But just an awesome battle scene with Drogon, just showing how dragons fight on the battlefield, how they burn everything to flames. And harkens back to the Field of Fire. For those of you who read the books, when Aegon first conquered Westeros, gives you a visual of what it must have been like. It must have even been more chaotic with 3 dragons, you know, although it was several more armies. So this was an epic battle as well. This would have been an epic battle, uh, better than, you know, what we got here. This probably it would have been $100-200 million budget to really do the original Field of Fire. But we got a taste of it and what it must have been like just watching this, and it was amazing. Now, we did get Drogon, of course, being shot down by Bronn using what they call the scorpion or the ballista. You know, this ballistic device that was created by Qyburn, and it was effective. This thing obviously can kill a dragon. It wounded Drogon. It didn't kill him, but it wounded him, you know, as we got to see, and brought him down. And that's when we get this epic scene of Jaime charging, you know, after he's seen the devastation done. All is pretty much lost. He's charging with Lance to try to— I guess he thinks he's going to take down Drogon. Kind of reminds me of back in the, in the fighting pits, back in Meereen, when, you know, you'd have these guys with spears, you know, uh, going for their last— trying to go out in their last blaze of glory and take down the dragon. So Jaime caught one of those moments. Uh, we got to see— I'm assuming it's Bronn that saves him. This, it seems very Bronn-ish. But it could have been Deacon too, right? Could have been Deacon Tarly. You know, we got to see Deacon Tarly, you know, save Jaime before. Could have been him. But you— we also know Bronn likes to keep Lannisters alive because they're his, you know, his golden ticket. You know, he can't make money without Lannisters, so he has a definitely vested interest to risk his life to try to you know, keep his meal ticket going. Um, and so, uh, you know, Jaime kind of sinks down in this heavy armor into the water. We don't know what's going to happen to him. We don't know if they think he's dead down there, just left him. We don't know if you're going to fish him out and he's going to be taken prisoner, uh, for, you know, information for use against Cersei. Uh, but it was just an awesome, awesome episode, guys. Uh, Interesting too, you know, of course the spoils, which is, you know, part of the title of the episode, the spoils that are returning, you know, with the Lannisters back to King's Landing. I saw Drogon burn a lot of wagons, a lot of wagons that I thought was carrying this gold. Now some people online are saying that the gold still, you know, they were still able to get the gold back to King's Landing. Like the— but did— is that what happened? I don't recall that. I don't believe any of these guys escaped. I thought— it's possible maybe I missed something, but I thought I saw Drogon just going down that, that line, that caravan line, just burning wagons. And I thought maybe he had burned up that gold as well. To stop Cersei from paying the Iron Bank. I have no idea. We'll have to see that in the next episode. Maybe some of the caravan, the wagons, did get through and make it back to King's Landing so that Cersei can pay off the Iron Bank, have more support from the Iron Bank. But guys, wow, just amazing, amazing episode. But getting back to Bran. I want to, I want to, you know, go out with— I want to go out with Bran talking about some of the things Bran did, you know. But Bran, you know, of course, just this, this amazing scene where Littlefinger, you know, is giving Bran this dagger, this, uh, this, uh, Valyrian steel dagger, the same one that was used in episode or season 1 of where Bran was an assassin, you know, hired by— was hired to take him out. And, you know, and some people think it perhaps it was the, you know, it was the Lannisters. But it wasn't the Lannisters, or was it Littlefinger? And Bran, I'm sure, knows who it was. But when he was talking about that, you know, Coming back to the chaos, when Bran tells him chaos is a ladder, Littlefinger has to get up and go. Littlefinger's like, uh-oh, I can't manipulate this kid. I got to get the hell out of here. And I just thought that scene was hilarious, how quick Littlefinger got up and got out of there, because Littlefinger, you know, came to the conclusion that I'm dealing with something here I've never dealt with before. You know, I'm unmatched here. This kid knows too much and there's too much going on. So Littlefinger's probably— I'm sure has already caught wind that Bran sees visions that are these visions that, uh, and if he hasn't caught on to that yet, he clearly now understands that he's gonna have to try to stay clear of Bran. And, uh, just a funny scene. And the dagger that's given to Bran, of course we got to see that giving to Arya. And we get this amazing, uh, you know, scene with Arya because we've never really seen what Arya could do, uh, you know, since she's developed her talents at the House of Black and White from Faceless Men. And I mean, Arya was getting down. We can see Arya is, you know, is somebody who can— she can deal with the best fighters in Westeros now, you know. She brands— beat the Hound. Bran's been quite the capable warrior on the battlefield and one of the best fighters in Westeros at this time. And we got to see Arya go toe-to-toe with her with a little tiny Valyrian steel sword that can't really hold the weight of a broadsword. And Arya's moving around with a lot of speed and just, you know, it's somebody who you you know, it's not to be trifled with at this point. She's a— she's an assassin, you know. So great, great episode, guys. 10 out of 10 episode. Uh, you know, looking forward to episode— the next episode, episode 5. And, you know, Game of Thrones, they do this getting toward— you know, they usually do this as they're getting towards the end, do the great battle episode. Then it kind of usually comes down. Not sure, you if that's going to happen this time around, this— we may stay at an elevated level now with Game of Thrones all the way out. And that's my assumption of what I think is going to happen. But anyway, guys, tell me what you think about this episode. Tell me if you think Bran is really Bran as we know him, because there are some things that just seem a little bit off, you know. I'm wondering if it's the Three-Eyed Raven once you become the Three-Eyed Raven, do you become, uh, just a collection of people? You know, like the— who, who the— how the Three-Eyed Raven was before, uh, I think in the books he's called Brandon Rivers, but, uh, uh, uh, in the, in the books, uh, but when Bran— he's downloading to Bran, or, you know, all the information that that— I want to do— they become this a mix of people, this group, because Bran just seems so detached, you know, so detached. But anyway, guys, give me your thoughts and opinions. Let me know if you like this episode. What do you rate it, guys?
