People do. And people, when given the best AI platform, they're freed up to do the fulfilling work they want to do.

Starting point is 00:00:55 To see how ServiceNow puts AI to work for people, visit ServiceNow.com. One plus one equals more of the greatest stories. Hulu on Disney Plus. Stories about survivors. The most dangerous planet. Family. Retribution. Murder.

Starting point is 00:02:31 with the action with the drama just everything was very incredible um And just as always with Game of Thrones, you really always feel the stakes with everything, with each character. No one ever feels safe on this show. Really always know how to throw you curveballs at every which end, make things always feel so unpredictable. So I'm just really in a ball of,

Starting point is 00:02:58 I don't know how to feel my emotions right now, just especially with John Snow. And who else did we? Shireen. Shireen. Princess Shireen. They burned her at the first. freaking steak.

Starting point is 00:03:08 Yeah, like I, I, a little freaking girl. Yeah, I understand Stanis wanted to rule and he, like, nothing was going to get in his way, but it's like, dude, what, at what,

Starting point is 00:03:16 at what costs? Like, is it worth it at that point, right? Agreed. Agreed. So, um,

Starting point is 00:03:24 yeah, I mean, those were two, like I said, two incredible episodes, uh, very well-paced. Uh,

Starting point is 00:03:29 I'm glad that we got a little bit of redemption, finally for Theon, and he finally came back a little bit. Yeah. Thank God. There's a lot more I want to. And of course, Drecone, that was incredible as well, that sequence. Marcella died, too.

Starting point is 00:03:43 Yeah. Yeah. So many freaking people died in the last two freaking things. So much happened. Yeah. That's wild. Like, wow, I can't believe how much they packed into these last two episodes with how many deaths that we're dealing with. Like Princess Shereen, that was just so savage.

Starting point is 00:04:03 And then, you know, the other savage part is that we never would. think that we would be seeing, uh, freaking, what's her face? Shame, shame, shame. Uh, Circe. I just blanked on her name. That we would never see,

Starting point is 00:04:19 be in a position of feeling, sorry for Searcy, but that was so savage, seeing her walk of atonement. Like, that's the one thing that I do remember. Here's what's crazy to me. I did not remember at all that they killed John Snow. What I do remember is shame, shame, shame, because you heard me say it even in season one.

Starting point is 00:04:42 I make jokes about it because there was a lot of memes about the shame, shame, shame, how much they said it back in the day. I am like, I almost shook up right now the fact that John Snow is dead. Yeah. He was such an impactful character. He's really someone from the first second we see him on screen. You get so emotionally invested in this character. And the journey we go on with him.

Starting point is 00:05:09 Just such a tragic ending for him. He was just all he was trying to do is properly trying. He didn't even want to be the leader, first of all, Sam nominated him. But then when he got into that position, all he was trying to do is just do the right thing. He gave the wildlings a home, but also not only giving them a home and giving them a chance of survival, he's trying to give the men around the wall a chance of survival against the Whitewalkers. And Alistair gathered a mutiny around him. I finally came around a little bit on Alistair, like, all right, get a little bit of redemption for Alistair and then two minutes later.

Starting point is 00:05:42 I just don't understand that way of thinking when all he did was gather up people, got them on their freaking sigh to fight for them and got them to a point where they could be safe so that if they needed to call on them, that they could freaking help. I am in full agreement with you. I think from Alistair's perspective, he has such, first of all, he was so jealous that John took his position. That's number one. So he's in a place of animosity and hatred towards John Snow. That's number one. Number two, he has such a hatred for wildlings as well. So he used this, he was in a position to just manipulate the entire squad of the night watch.

Starting point is 00:06:27 And he's like, I'm going to use, this is it. I'm going to get them to betray and kill him like right now. Terrible. Yeah. Like how do you even, like you guys are all freaking cuckoo, freaking bananas. Like I don't understand that. And I also, you know, what was weird is that I felt like climactic when the mountain picks up Searcy. But then I was like, wait, he's like the Frankenstein Mountain dude that.

Starting point is 00:06:54 He's been building. Remember, remember how scared I was last few episodes? I was like, that thing's going to move. And it did. And now it's like full on. there with his weird ass Frankenstein face. And it's, I felt a sense of like, oh, luckily in this moment, Cersie's being protected, even though I don't really need that from her.

Starting point is 00:07:15 But the show makes you do that because of what she just went through is like terrible. Yeah. The coolest thing to me was Aria. That was awesome. Friking killing that man. But it was so well earned, too, from everything. She's been like, like. trying to achieve just from a revenge perspective.

Starting point is 00:07:37 Oh, yeah. It was like they took their time with, we're five seasons in now and the last episode or ninth, 10th episode, whatever, like we've really taken our time getting to this place with Aria. And then like, because she didn't stick with the primary mission of going after the,

Starting point is 00:07:53 you know, the guy doing the sales or whatever and she went on a personal vendetta mission. She did. And she has to, there's consequences and she's paying for the, those consequences, right? I think she went blind, right? Yep.

Starting point is 00:08:06 As a result. So I'm curious to see, like, how that ends up going now. Is that temporary blindness? Is it she's full on blind? She's going to be Matt Murdoch now from now on. So we'll see what happens. I'm curious to see it now. I like that I don't have to give Aria any notes because normally a lot of times

Starting point is 00:08:27 when we're seeking vengeance and shows, I'm like, don't stop freaking stabbing the person. Like in horror movies, they'll be like, and they'll run and I'm like, don't stop. I'm so glad we got that. That's such great writing. That's exactly what Aria would do. And that guy freaking deserved it.

Starting point is 00:08:44 And they're obviously putting us in that position when he's like younger, younger, younger. And then we see what he's doing to them. It's so savage that it's just such a relief when she finally gets to take off her mask and freaking kill the shit out of him. Which is great. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:09:01 Very, very brilliant. I really like that scene a lot. Reject Nation, do you ever feel like life is just constantly moving? Like, you're always on the go, always in a rush. And eating healthy is the thing that keeps getting pushed aside. That's been me for a few years now. And it could be a real struggle to maintain eating healthy. And that's honestly why we've become so dependent on what's this stuff at Huell.

Starting point is 00:09:25 What a natural segue that is. But also, we got three fridges around here, and we have these fridges stocked with the ready to drink. A lot of times going to events from here, I bring them with me. You'll often see Koi and I are drinking them on camera for a reason. Because it is a complete meal and a bottle. 35 grams of protein, 27 essential vitamins and minerals, slow release carbs, no artificial sweeteners, gluten-free. And it actually helps keep us full.

Starting point is 00:09:48 I would drink Huell while on my cut where I lost a crap ton of weight last year. Coy currently on a cut for the past few months, and he's drinking these a few times a week. Plus, it's under five bucks, which makes it way easier to stay consistent. And then when I want something a little bit more built, use the black edition powder we got so much in that other room right over there you can light it with frozen fruit ice sometimes i mix it with my hydration drinks same complete nutrition just more customizable and now even though i've no longer art to cut i've been working on maintenance it helps so much more to have something like this to maintain so if you're like me where the days feel nonstop this

Starting point is 00:11:07 close and Sam would have warned him and he most likely would have killed Sam. He would have defiled and really done something pretty evil and atrocious to Gillie and baby Sam. So I think it was best that Sam went away to live a life with baby Sam and with Gilly. So it's going to be so sad. when he finds out he's dead. Yeah, yeah. And yeah, no, I fully agree. But I think for right now in the interim was, thank God, that they, that John allowed him to go away. And also, too, I've mentioned this before. It's not Tom and's fault that he had to be put into this position of power when, you know, he's such a young kid still. And he's very like me. I've mentioned this before in some of the other reviews. I'm not confrontational at all. I really try to stay away from it. But, you know, when your wife,

Starting point is 00:11:55 your brother-in-law, now your mother are in prison and you're the king and you've got the forces. Like, sorry, dude, whole bets are off. You just got to do it even if it's uncomfortable for you. And it's just, it's been fascinating to watch that. And I understand. I really do. But it's been fascinating to watch that he's just like not doing anything and allowing them to suffer in there. And I get it's not because he wants to.

Starting point is 00:12:20 He just doesn't have the cahones to say, I'm not going to allow this to continue. Right. We don't even know what he's been freaking doing up there in the Red Keep all mom. And, you know, the rest of them were in the freaking weird church. You're correct about that. But what I know that he didn't do is send an order. Like, I've got an army with me. I'm getting him out.

Starting point is 00:12:41 Yeah, he definitely wasn't doing anything. Take out who you need to take out. Yeah. Get my mom, get my wife, and get my brother-in-law out of there. Yeah. The coolest thing I thought was the dragons. The dragon. When he comes in and he burns those people up, holy tamale, that feel, that's one of the best feelings ever.

Starting point is 00:13:02 Because Circe is like ready, not Circe, sorry, DeNaris is like ready to die, grabs the hand of Monsre, and then freaking dragon comes in and you're like, let's freaking go. I am, I'm not like scared right now if she's going to like die or not. I'm mostly scared for the dragon because the dragon seems really hurt. And like, I hope it just needs rest and isn't going to die. I don't know what they were riding around her, not like they wanted to kill her. They were making like a formation. So I'm like, maybe they know of her and they see her as someone who's supposed to take the throne. I don't know, though.

Starting point is 00:13:42 Honestly, I don't. They could be like, we're trying to sacrifice you. I'm glad that Brienne got her vengeance on Sanis and was like, and she served her duty. because like she's been waiting for a minute to like she is so a woman who goes by the book and like does her duty and she finally got to do it with Dennis and he full well deserved it. I mean he already burned his daughter at the stake and that's Wack do while to me. It's also weird that the red lady looks sad when she gets back to the to Castle Black. And I'm like, you told him to do all this shit, you crazy person.

Starting point is 00:14:22 like cuckoo freaking bananas you know like so I I get that she's reading some stuff in the fire but honestly she's oh she's got to go I don't know why we haven't gotten rid of her yet there's definitely a lot that's what I'm going to say that's what the show's so good at there's so many characters you love and then there's so many characters you love to hate yep exactly and then those and some of those characters you love to hate they give you little moments we're like, okay, gonna forgive them for a moment here. And then, oh, this is why I love to hit them. Exactly.

Starting point is 00:14:57 And we have one question from Jay Rushin. He says, when Miranda fell in the castle, were there any laughs because of lacking of the railing on the castle there? Branda fell. Oh, you mean like when she was pushed off? Were there any laughs? Oh, because they didn't have any rails.

Starting point is 00:15:17 Were we like, why wouldn't they have rail? They did have railing. She fell over it. Yeah, I think, didn't he just throw her over a way, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't.

Starting point is 00:15:27 I was mostly very stunned because I kept going, they're right there. Just throw her over, throw her over because they're high up there. Yeah. But there were railings. I didn't think he was going to do that because it's theon. So I thought it was great because I hated her. Yeah. I thought they did a good job, honestly, building up to that slight redemption for him when it comes to becoming

Starting point is 00:15:50 becoming Theon again from Rique because there's been moments in times where you and I are like, is he back to Theon? Yeah, he's still weak. I didn't see that coming. Yeah, that's what the show does a really good job of really giving time for the characters

Starting point is 00:16:03 to just get their arcs, really give time for them to breathe when it comes to those things. They never really rush things on this show, at least so far through five seasons in my eyes, they really do a good job with that, allowing things to just naturally flow. They know how to surprise you.

Starting point is 00:16:19 Yeah. this show stressed me out so much. Well, that's what I... The crap, like, out of my nail polish that I put on last night. I was like, I hate how it looks. And I was like, this show gives me so much anxiety. You know that you, like, have to do something, especially like these last two episodes, what the hell? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:16:36 Well, I made that comment, too, the last thing for me. I made that comment, too, when we were like with Sir Alicers, like, is he going to open the... Okay, that was a good subversion because I didn't think he was got... Yeah, he had the... What he was doing with that facial expression, how am I going to take out John Snow now? Yep. That's what that look was. Rick.

Starting point is 00:16:52 Yeah. It was great acting from him, though. It was like he, that was a choice as an actor. It was really good. Yeah, totally. I'm totally with you on that. All right, guys, make sure that you are,
