Game of Thrones: Reaction | S03E07 – “The Bear and the Maiden Fair” PART TWO

at the end of the episode, the theme that plays is the rains of castamere, a song about the lannisters. You'll learn about it more in episode 8.

tbf, jaime did try to do a good thing with tyrion, trying to get him back from the starks 😛 plus, he didn't want to kill ned unhonourably haha being away from cersei and with brienne can probably change anyone lol

if you remember from season 2, theon swore to kill the man blowing the horn when he was losing winterfell. Ramsay was that man lol

I really enjoyed two scenes you included (which most other reactioners [is this a word lol] don't include) – the scene with Osha and Maester Qyburn and Jamie. Anton lesser who plays Qyburn is another good actor and gets some good lines. This series at its best does very good scenes and great dialogue even for minor characters. Very good thanks! More please 🙂

i think the words you might look for are.. honor, moral code, decency?

6:06 the soundtrack that plays there is the lannister theme (I think???) It's probably is one of my fave soundtracks and it has a lot of significance in other episodes to come

i think Jaime to be the most complex character in the books and show.

Fun fact. It was a real bear. 🙂

This is the episode that turned everything around for me with Jaime and Theon.

I always thought getting held hostage and having his hand cut off was the best thing for Jaime. It cut his ego way down and and being around Brienne helped him think of other people other than himself. He can still be full of himself, and can still be an ass, but it's much better.

Im a moderator and will take down any comments with spoilers. No telling Jay which episodes will stand out amongst the others

6:22 many women start to really love Jaime, including my wife. hmmmm

TY for doing these, give Sandor Clegane a chance, just saying.

Jay, that bear was tamer than most humans!!!!! Hahahahaha!!!!

You must say seven hells instead of fuckin hell 😂

I bloody love Jaime.

"It's really not going very well for theon whatsoever!" LOL 😂 serious understatement! Brilliant. Hey Jay, not all episodes are two part worthy. You'll know best.

Two things:

1. This is when I started not totally hating Jamie. I wouldn't say I started liking him, but I think his time with Brienne is having a profound effect on him. That said, I don't know that I will ever get past him pushing Bran from that tower window.

2. I know I'll probably take some heat for this, but I've never been to shy away from voicing my opinion, so here goes – I NEVER felt sorry for Theon. Even after this episode. He betrayed the Starks who were better to him than his asshole father ever was. If it was not for him the Starks would not have lost Winterfell. He is getting what he deserves in my not-so-humble opinion. Okay, let the roast begin…

PS. This is a real bear!

Great reactions.

Game of Thrones: The Best Show that Ever Was or Ever Will Be

Jaime's….complicated. Putting aside his romance with his own sister, he wants to be a good man, but life is a bit more complicated than the ideal of being a knight that people have invented in their heads. It's like his speech about oaths: what happens when your oaths contradict each other? He swore an oath to defend the weak and protect the innocent, but he also swore to protect the king. So what happens when your king is about to slaughter hundreds of thousands of innocent people? What oath has precendence? What happens when your oath to honor your father and obey your king come in conflict? And yet people have treated him like shit because he broke one oath to uphold another. I think some of his behavior is kind of like a line from Black Sails that's something like "you've all decided that I am a monster, so I will be that monster" (Haven't seen the episode in ages.)

Also, you'll find that most horrible things he's done, while not being the behavior of a truly good man, they weren't for evil, sadistic reasons. He didn't push Bran out a window because he just felt like watching a little kid splatter on the ground for entertainment, but to protect Cersei and their children, who Robert would have killed had he found out that the children were all Jaime's. At the very least, his behavior was out of selfishness, but still not out of malevolent sadism, like when he killed his cousin and that guard in his escape attempt.

Sadly, he's not as strong a person as he'd like people to believe. He's fairly easily led by the women in his life. When he's with Cersei, it brings out all the worst in him, but when he's with Brienne, it brings out the best in him, simply because of the kind of women they are. He's trying to do good, but he needs guidance.

His time away from Kingslanding OR is it his time away from Cersei?

One of the great things about this show is that as things develop we see new sides to characters, they grow and change not like most movies where there is a good guy and a bad guy, set in stone, someone you easily and always root for vs. someone you just hate. I mean, there are certainly characters who are more evil, some who are totally evil, but many who are kind of in a grey area and there is room for redemption. I mean, who thought we'd ever be feeling sorry for Theon, right?!

AWESOME!! 🔥🔥🔥

Jaime becomes a hero in front of your eyes. Kind of solidifies his bath tub story. He can be a good guy. Go figure! 😊❤️

that's what i love in game of thrones, no character is 100% evil/good

good reaction jay 🙂

Jaime is the best he's my hero not Jon Snow! But I like Jon too 😀

Love your reactions! ♥

No bears were harmed in the making of this episode.

Jamie is one of the most conflicted characters on the show. From what we have seen till now, everything bad he as done can be linked to his toxic relationship with Cersei. As we have seen, even his decision to kill the Mad King was a right one!

Jamie when removed from Cersei is a far better person. That bitch is poison lol

lol when he started screaming i thought it was the bear making the noise

Brienne seems to bring out the best in him.

THE FUCK ARE YOU DOIN TO MAH BEAR

Nice reaction bro!
