You guys notice Moondancer TOLD Baela of Christen and the troops she was looking elsewhere and Moondancer saw them and looked their direction and did a little roar to tell her...just a detail I noticed and LOVED....also that's an fast an agile lil dragon I'm glad the at least showed that off

I mean, she never actually cared about the words. She had been moving to usurp from the moment she wore the green dress and spared Cole. She had Lyonel killed so Otto could come back and help (plausible deniability but she had to know he would never quit being Hand as long as he breathed). She also tried to disinherit Lucerys. Those words were just her justification. And even without the conqueror, Rhaenyra has a son called Aegon so Hell, between the conqueror and Aegon II, there were another three Aegons, one being Viserys’ brother who died as an infant.
At 20:50 the barmaid that gets slapped on the butt by ults friend is the same maid that was assault by aegon in season 1. She went from being a lady in waiting for the royal family to being a random barmaid all because aegon couldnt control himself. This season fleshes aegon out alot but it still reminds you of the horrible things he did in the past
She wasnt a lady in waiting, just a nurse maid for the kids (ladies in waiting are always noble. Elinda Massey, for instance, is Rhaenyra’s). You can see how all the maids flinched when Aegon was looking for Jaehaerys in the first episode. They all fear and hate him. The actress for Dyanna, the maid, was 15 filming s1 too, and is 17 now. I hate they brought her back to be harassed.
@@aquele4virou3she wasn’t forced to play this role yanno. I think it’s smart on their part to use same actress as reference and of how time has passed. But of course with permission of actress
It doesn't matter if Alicent misunderstood Viserys' last words, the council and Otto were already planning to put Aegon on the throne. If Alicent tried to remove Aegon from the throne it would be treason, and she could be beheaded by Aegons' order. She can't do anything at all, the wheels are already in motion. But knowing Viserys always wanted Rhaenyra on the throne will definitely play a role in her state of mind, imho. The woman serving the men on the pub was the maid that was assaulted on season 1 episode 8 by Aegon and to whom Alicent gave money and the plan b tea. The titles at the begining are changing episode by episode by adding new details, this week they added the child's beheading and the rat catchers being hanged.
Ngl I kinda love this eerie was it a dream, a vision, Harrenhal itself, a priestess/witch casting a spell, a hallucinogent of some kind or all the above lol. I don't know what most book readers will make of it but I loved that cuz Daemon is a non-believer in anything like that so far when his brother fully believed Aegon's dream.
8:21 when whiteworm said "you think he's lonely" they implied that leanor just passed (off screen death) and maybe rhaenyra realized it that's why she had that expression
I don’t see why the creators would make a point to change the story from the books and keep him alive, just to kill him off screen. I think ryhanara’s expression is cuz she knows that he’s not actually dead
@@foxsquad6992cause they wrote themselves into a corner with that one since dragon bonds are magic and any attempt to bond with a dragon while its rider is alive will end in you being flambé. For Adam to claim seasmoke they have to kill lenor
@@foxsquad6992 The point was to not have Daemon or Rhaanyra be the ones to murder him. That would be cruel. In the books, he was slain by his lover due to jealousy, it was then implied that he was slain on behalf of Daemon. In the show they wanted to let him go and live a life of peace away from pressure at least for a few years.....Now it's implied he's passed, either illness or otherwise. He was always going to die for seasmoke to be riderless.......he just didn't need to die at that moment and they didn't want the terms of the wedding between Daemon and Rhaenyra to be vicious and cruel.....all in all, unnecessary but acceptable.
I mean whether alicent was mistaken or not, the council already had plans to crown aegon, so it’s really not her fault, and even if she was on board with rhaenyra at this point, she ultimately has no power over anything anymore. Aegon is the king at this point and he’s the one with the dragon. Things are too far progressed on both sides with the death of jaehaerys and Luke, and neither alicent or rhaenyra would be willing to give up Daemon or aemond, respectively. Alicent is right, it’s too late.
@@ToeKnife166A Queen dowager has only a few social powers in her possession. She doesn’t have much control over state affairs even in these times. The King does those.
@@believeume122 it’s not that she has no fault, but many reactors put the blame solely on her as if the events that happened would not have taken place anyways even without her. Many things were contributed by both sides to get to this point & it’s not all on Alicent
@@happilyevernever4289 absolutely not there’s too much for her not to be connected to some crazy shit going on at this time, she does show up another time too and it’s the 1 appearance she’s known for 😅 also shows up when Ser Simon “swears the old golds” not the new.
it could be rumors, at least the extension of her powers. For instance, no one knows her age, but she is at least 45 although looks a bit younger. She is said to be able to entice men, which is what she uses to survive all the raids against Harrenhal. She is unable to entice Daemon though. But she manages to entice Aemond and perhaps even Cole. There’s no confirmation she truly is a witch, or if she just uses Harrenhal in her favor and do some rituals. She is a wet nurse, which means she’s been pregnant, but she has no children. I like the theory she offers them as sacrifices for power/youth. As for seeing the future in the flames, there’s two options: either she does see it and wants God’s Eye to happen, perhaps to avenge the people she lost. Or she just heard that Daemon was there, considering he waited two weeks and let everyone know what he wanted. And counted on him to do the job.
@@aquele4virou3 she looks way younger But from what I know is in her 40s u right, She will definitely come face to face with Cole and Aemond at some point, the seeds are even being planted with Aemond liking “older girls” already tbf 😂🤣😅 For someone who is just a wet nurse tho, there’s multiple sources in the books from where she “really” originated from because it may not be so easy
@@aquele4virou3 she’s also got that energy the night queen “supposedly” had if u believe the old stark myths to be 100% true About her, with the weirwood tree present they are definitely alluding to some of the future stuff, A lot of that stuff comes straight from the original ASOIAF series which is pre cool tho, and all the bracken V Blackwood talk is definitely mirroring bloodraven and Bittersteels future war
it's not really anything to agree about it's true and clear, Rhaenyra didn't know that tho, she didn't know Otto was gone and it was good for her to now know that Alicent was wrong so she has no more doubt that maybe her father did change his mind... so hopefully she'll be more comfortable doing what needs to be done
I’m not sure if you guys are aware of this, but in the books, House Tully is named after the Muppets. The show already mentioned Lord Grover Tully who is still alive at this time but he has a son named Elmo and two grandsons named Kermit and Oscar. Kermit and Oscar Tully are very important figures for Rhaenyra’s side during the civil war. I don’t know how the show will introduce them but I imagine we will be meeting those characters soon enough. Also House Blackwood is pretty important to the war as well, their Lord, the very young 11 year old Benjicot Blackwood won quite a few key battles. I don’t know how the show will present the Houses Tully and Blackwood characters but I hope we get to see them soon.
For all its worth, Cole is a very seasoned soldier, though his fighting mode is always on reckless attacker. Sharp eyes and ant least 10 years of experience, fighting in the Dornish Marches.
Team Blackwood for sure, even more now they know their rightful queen 🖤 And dear Blake, you do well to remember these names, they where here before (in ep.4 when Rhaenyra is playing Tinder and two boys fight, the younger was a Blackwood and the older was a Bracken) and will be back. Their feud exist since the Age of Heroes, continues till GoT times and will probably go on forever hahah Harrenhal is the largest castle in Westeros and was finished right when Aegon landed in the continent to conquer. Harren, the Black during the war hid in his castle imagining he and his sons would be safe from Balerion and Aegon. He wasn't counting that dragonfire can melt even stone, so they all basically were buried in the melted castle. Since then there has been rumors that the castle is haunted, someone even said that when the Strongs died there last season. We have also seen it in the first scene of the show, on the Great Council of 101. Just so you know, this is not the first time we saw Gwayne Hightower. In the first episode of the series, on the tournament, Daemon chooses him as opponent to provoke Otto, as this is his heir. Great video as always, keep up the good work, guys 🙂
the "your grace" thing is tricky. in our world, the husband of the reigning Queen usually takes the title of Prince Consort instead of King Consort and thus would remain "my Prince", this is due to the connotations that have been placed to the title King Consort having been upheld by the patriarchy. People would hear only the "KING" in "King Consort" and think he ranks above the actual ruler, the Queen TL;DR: Daemon, for simplicity's sake, should have become Prince Consort and referred to by "my Prince"
Yeah I’m not clear on the in world rules as well because they clearly use the title of King Consort in reference to Daemon. Even Leanor was introduced as the future King Consort at his wedding with Rheanyra. But it seems moreso a title to define their relationship with the reigning monarch rather than their actual title at court.
@@RamseyGarnaoui and maybe it’s cause most of us don’t live in a monarch ruled country but it’s really confusing for the audience. I think they should’ve kept it as “Prince consort”, that way it will also feed more into Daemon’s mixed feelings about being soooo close to the throne but still far enough to not warrant being called “king consort”
@@RamseyGarnaoui he sure loves a role where he plays a blond prince with a claim to a throne he can’t actually press and marries the heir apparent who becomes queen and he feels shitty about having married a queen when she was a queen to be 😭
The thing is that without Otto in Court, and even worst, with Sir Cole as Hand, who spitefully hates Rhaenyra, whatever little chance there is to rectify the situation, is actually gone. Like, if before the chance of success was 5% no it is -500%
Is this guy saying Alicent should open the gates to allow her family to be slaughtered lol? There is some brain rot going on for the people that hate Alicent. Episode 1x9 already showed that they were going to crown Aegon no matter what. He is the first born son of the king so the laws of the faith and Westeros tradition say he should be the heir. The death bed confession was a cherry on top, it didn’t actually factor into the legal argument for why they crowned him.
@@howfirewell, westeros is not an absolute monarchy where a king can break the law according to his whim. Viserys should have changed the rules of succession before or just after naming Rhaenyra as his future heir.
@@howfire The characters on the green council were going to crown Aegon no matter what because of THEIR interpretation of the law, and they were going to have many supporters because many Lords of Westeros believe the same thing. That is the point I'm making. What Alicent said at the council factored none into their decision.
@@howfire Half the realm are Andals and First Men, and according to both tradition and law, 'a son comes before a daughter'. Viserys should have done the same as Jaehaerys I Targaryen did with the Doctrine of Exceptionalism to legalise Targ incestuous marriage. How can Viserys be so foolish as to think that this misogynistic society will 100% accept a daughter over a son without rebellion or uprising, this is the same Westeros that did not even elect female rulers when their birthright to the throne was also supported by both Andal and First Man Law. Ex- Jaehaerys I Targaryen over Aerea Targaryen . Viserys over rhaenys Targaryen. Aegon over visenya. The 2nd son of cregan stark over the daughters of his first son.
Otto wouldn't care whether Vyserys meant Aegon the Conqueror or not, he already had the plan in motion to take over once he died. Alicent's declaration was just a convenient icing on the cake. The realization that she was wrong just makes her less committed to the cause, but it wouldn't stop anything even if she campaigned for it. The mysterious woman at Harrenhal is a witch. I won't say anymore.
Guys there's nothing to prevent the war, Daemon will kill alicent children so alicent won't give up the throne, Aegon seeks vengeance for his son's death and Aemond would rather burn down westeros than see the blacks on the throne, there's no way to prevent it at this point. even if alicent did not misunderstood viserys words, The council lead by otto would've still crowned Aegon as king.
@@Caraxes_RoguePrince you can’t follow a conversation can you? We are specifically talking about hatched. A hatched dragon will not be ready for this war.
@@johnj4471 and like you said it’s not getting bigger so why would I keep talking about that when it makes no sense? Use your brain she obviously not getting no freshly hatched dragon
🤦♀️😂😂 “someone’s glizzey getting gobbled.” 😂😂😂 I think we all said out loud “OW MAH GAWD” looked more like a Pinocchio than the real. Also, hats off to “his junk.” I bet he got paid a nice chunk of change for that shot.
Yes it was a huge risk to meet with Alicent, but kings fight on battlefields all the time. This was to make one last best effort to prevent needless death, so it was very worth it in her eyes.
Helena, as someone on the spectrum, perceives things in a different amd at the same time more distinct way of the rest of the family. Her empathy is expressed ina stern way but she clearly suffers from the lost of her child. Everyone greaves differently and her way is very unique to her.
When Rheanyra kneels with Alicent in the Sept it’s just like when they were younger in season 1! Also the scene where Alicent realizes she f*cked you is amazing!
I really enjoyed watching this episode. Rhaenyra and Alicent`s conversation at the end of the episode was amazing, also the cold opening was cool to see and the intro added two more things to it`s tapestry.
If Alicent tried to double back and allow Rhaenyra power it would either fail and catapult them all into bloody battle or succeed and end in the death of her, all 3 of her sons, her daughter, her granddaughter, and her father because they’d end up tried for treason and/or killed for being contenders for the throne since even if the blacks took over Kingslanding there are still houses throughout the realm ready to go to war for the greens.
You have it backwards: Aemond is maladjusted. Aegon is evil. I’m really disappointed in how many people discount his rapes and child-fighting in Season 1. His sickness was dormant while he thought being king was fun and made people like him. But he hung ALL of the ratcatchers to get to one. He’s still a sadistic asshole. Aemond is overcoming parental neglect, child sexual abuse by a hooker, and general Second Son Syndrome. But he and Daemon are principled in their bad behavior. Aegon is trash.
Those were definitely Danys eggs 😭 I recognized them right off the bat because of their coloring and all three were together. That blue one must still be out there.
Alicent always knew Aegon is a bad apple, but It comes down to a mother protecting her child. Even if your son is guilty, a mother would compromise her integrity to defend him.
17:21 One of those eggs is pink Rhaena will hatch that dragon egg and she will call her dragon Morning because he hached in the Vale. Geeta Patel the director of this episode just confirmed the other eggs are Daenerys dragon eggs.
Not just three Aegons. And it’s a pretty cursed name too. Daenys the dreamer had a son Aegon who was Lord of Dragonstone during the Century of Blood. Aegon I, the conqueror; his grandson, Aegon the uncrowned, who was killed and usurped by his uncle Maegor, the cruel; Aegon, son of Jaehaerys and Alysanne, died a few days after birth; Aegon, brother of Daemon and Viserys, died before turning 1; Aegon II, the usurper; Aegon the younger, Rhaenyra and Daemon’s son; then there will be other Aegons, three of them kings: Aegon III; Aegon IV; Aegon V, known as Egg, who will be the protagonist of the new series Dunk & Egg and Daenerys’ great-grandfather; and then fAegon/Aegon VI/Young Gryff, the supposed not-dead son of Rhaegar and is aiming for the throne, he was cut from the show but exists in the books and wants to marry Daenerys. Theories are he’s a Blackfyre pretender. And in GOT, there the dumb Jon name, but its a consensus he’s probably not called Aegon considering Rhaegar already had a son called Aegon with Elia Martell. As for the kings. Odd numbered Aegons are good kings. The conqueror (I), The Unlucky (III), The Unlikely (V). Even numbered Aegons suck. The usurper (II) and the Unworthy (IV).
Something to note, the Blackwood at the start is Davos Blackwood who’s not in the books.. we thought he was Bloody Ben but apparently not :( This is the second time a Blackwood has killed a Bracken in this show!
You're right, the royal family (Greens) would be a mess if that information was pushed. But, I suspect the fact that this information being now in their camp is a planted seed that will cause LOTS of problems. Rhaenyra was wise to clarify this. This little trip will bear fruit.
King Consort would be the term for Daemon, he's not King as that implies he has the power. So much like Alicent was Queen Consort being called "your grace" Daemon should be that too, it's just the first time there's been a Queen so of course there's a bit of misunderstanding.
Something I want y’all to know, the showrunners or directors have confirmed of those 4 dragons eggs, 3 do become Dany’s dragon 169 years later! You are literally looking at the future of House Targaryen
The beginning of Rhaenyra and Alicent debate , Alicent thought she had the upper hand and could find peace if Rhaenyra surrendered, hears her mistake and suddenly there can be no peace.
Jaehearys and Luke are dead. There's no going back. I also don't really believe that most people believed Alicent about Viserys naming Aegon as heir anyways.
41:08 Otto doesn't give a shit about that. He want (his) male heir to sit on the iron throne no matter what. Even if this misunderstanding plot didn't happen... He'll still gonna usurp the throne for aegon. Also don't let these comments calling you names make you stop speaking out your mind. Keep cooking those "stupid" theories, ideas, opinions... Not only it's funny but reading people get really mad about it also entertaining. 😂
I mean I'm not name calling Blake, but his take is dumb. Speaking ones mind does not mean people won't call out dumb stuff. Plus, as much as they rib eachother, I'm sure Blake is fine.
Hahaha ikr, there have been at least 5 crowned Aegons. It is actually insane, but the same can be said for Edwards, Williams and Charles in Europe haha
You're saying it's too late BUT I'm sure the starving people there who are going to die would gladly stop the war. It's like having nukes and knowing you don't have to use them and using them anyway. Another reason why the greens should not be ruling. Rhaenyra did all the talking and pleading she could...it's time for action.
Allisan can't change anything anymore, even if she wanted to. She does not have the influence and power to do so (If it were different, she would try it, I'm sure, because she is someone who repents). That's why it's too late. Against all the haters (including the king of ignorance Blake) here, it was made very clear again that Alisant put her son on the throne out of conviction and not because she heard what she wanted to hear. She did not know the story of ice and fire and therefore had no other reference to the name Aegon than her son. Now there is no way back. Her son will not let the crown be taken away from him and his subordinates will not allow that. She can't do anything. In addition, it was made very clear in the last episode that Alisant's sons no longer listen to her thanks to Otto. This was literally the topic of the conversation between Alisant and Otto. Btw Alisant lets her friend go. The war could have ended right here in Hightower's favor. Seasmoke is restless because his owner is still alive and unreachable for him. The bond between dragon and rider lasts until the rider dies. And as far as I know, the dragon does not accept a new rider for so long. If you give such hints that actually don't contribute anything to the story, you can assume that someone believed dead will soon become a topic again, maybe even come back.
Alicent Hightower knew FULL WELL that King V never "changed his mind" on his deathbed. And watching her get EXTRA confirmation of that AND STILL prioritize mass bloodlust over Truth is ENRAGING! It's NEVER TOO LATE for Diplomacy. What a SAD EXCUSE. I know it's a TV show, but people start wars this way FOR REAL. It genuinely pisses me off. The human cost is real.
@christoperwallace6197 oh yea! You're right 🤣 how could I ever "see through my bias?" I guess I was just wrong 🤷🏻♂️🤣🤣 Lets just get on a Dragon and press the Nuclear Holocaust button. I can see why we have nothing but hopeless endless feckless war in real life. Thanks comment section
Alicent cannot stop it at this point. Also the taking of the Throne by Aegon was going to happen regardless so Aegon has a load of support all over the realm. Alicent however has everyday less and less power and im sure she will try to have some sort of end but by the end of episode 4 something will happened that will cross the point of no return for both sides.
They didn't listen to Otto but somehow people think Alicent has the power to stop the war. Rhaenyra barely has the respect of her war council but you guys think Alicent alone can stop the war and get Aegon to step down. If she did try to I don't think Aegon would have her killed but he would just dismiss her from his court as he did Otto. And the idea that Alicent could just open the gates to King's Landing and let Team Black enter, that would be codemning her children to death. Just like when the Mad King fell, and the Lannisters took over King's landing, they butchered all the remaining targaryen children. Expecting Alicent to put Rhaenyra over her children's lives is just unrealistic. While I don't think Rhaenyra would want to kill Alicent's children, there is no doubt Daemon & other members of team black would. So she's right in saying its too late.
making alicent carry all the weight and guilt after seeing all the disgusting men that sit around her, is crazy. war is inevitable and alicent was wrong but we already know the small council were already plotting to put aegon on the throne, and on top of it all they dont even bother to listen to her anyways so what is she supposed to do, blake?
Gwayne was the one Daemon unhorsed in the first episode. Now his daughter just traumatized him again. Full circle. Also, fun fact, Criston isn’t actually a dornishman. He’s from a noble house under House Dondarrion in the stormlands. The show changed it, for what reason? No idea. If he was from Dorne I doubt he would be such an whiny incel crying about bastards. About Ulf, the guy saying he is Baelon’s bastard. It better be a scheme because Baelon would NEVER. Dude had probably the happiest marriage in the whole Targaryen dynasty and he never remarried or showed interest after Alyssa died after the birth of their third child (another Aegon, who also died a few months later). Ulf even looks older than Daemon, so that implies he would have cheated on Alyssa and that’s just hilarious. Their life was basically having sex and flying together. He rode Vhagar, she rode Meleys, and their older brother rode Caraxes. After she died, he only cared about Viserys, Daemon and his brother, Aemon. And when Aemon died, he killed thousands to avenge him.
This is the 3rd wet whistle contusion I’ve heard today. I suppose that one is getting lost to time? Wonder if it’ll start coming back like chefs kiss did. Edit: wet whistle contusion is hilarious. Clearly I meant confusion lmfao
Lmao ty for this laugh. And yea, It's weird to me. I'm only in my 30's, but the younger early to mid 20s crowd make me feel so old when they miss something like this. I just assumed, it being related to drinking, it would be handed down by other older drinkers. Then again, maybe it was but no one remembered?
Aemond is evil/worse than Aegon?!?! Cojo is trippin'! Aemond actually showed remorse for his actions with Luke. Other than with his cousins that used to tease and bully him as a child, I've never seen him being cruel to anyone or anything. He is all about duty. He would make a FAR better king than Aegon...by MILES!!!
“The witch” Alys Rivers giving Daemon visions infront of the God’s Eye the telling him “You will die in this place” is a crazy scene! A good bit of foreshadowing as well

Alicent when she founds out theres more than one Aegon : 😱😩
😂😂😂
She is hypocrite and full of herself lmao
I mean, she never actually cared about the words. She had been moving to usurp from the moment she wore the green dress and spared Cole. She had Lyonel killed so Otto could come back and help (plausible deniability but she had to know he would never quit being Hand as long as he breathed). She also tried to disinherit Lucerys. Those words were just her justification.
And even without the conqueror, Rhaenyra has a son called Aegon so
Hell, between the conqueror and Aegon II, there were another three Aegons, one being Viserys’ brother who died as an infant.
Yeah, it would have happened either way, because the hand was planning on doing it anyways.
Alicent is just straight trash, she and Ser Pettybitter aka Criston Cole are truly perfect for each other
There has never been a King Consort in Westeros before, so naturally there will be confusion as to how to address Daemon.
And his preference is definitely going to be “Your Grace.”

Kinda ridiculous, but I love what it led to, so I'll let it slide.
It doesn't matter if Alicent misunderstood Viserys' last words, the council and Otto were already planning to put Aegon on the throne.
If Alicent tried to remove Aegon from the throne it would be treason, and she could be beheaded by Aegons' order.
She can't do anything at all, the wheels are already in motion. But knowing Viserys always wanted Rhaenyra on the throne will definitely play a role in her state of mind, imho.
The woman serving the men on the pub was the maid that was assaulted on season 1 episode 8 by Aegon and to whom Alicent gave money and the plan b tea.
The titles at the begining are changing episode by episode by adding new details, this week they added the child's beheading and the rat catchers being hanged.
Harrenhal is kind of like a living creature, it’s dead and living walk its halls alike.
Ngl I kinda love this eerie was it a dream, a vision, Harrenhal itself, a priestess/witch casting a spell, a hallucinogent of some kind or all the above lol. I don't know what most book readers will make of it but I loved that cuz Daemon is a non-believer in anything like that so far when his brother fully believed Aegon's dream.
8:21 when whiteworm said "you think he's lonely" they implied that leanor just passed (off screen death) and maybe rhaenyra realized it that's why she had that expression
I don’t see why the creators would make a point to change the story from the books and keep him alive, just to kill him off screen. I think ryhanara’s expression is cuz she knows that he’s not actually dead
@@foxsquad6992cause they wrote themselves into a corner with that one since dragon bonds are magic and any attempt to bond with a dragon while its rider is alive will end in you being flambé. For Adam to claim seasmoke they have to kill lenor
@foxsquad6992 precisely, she shrugs it off so quickly because she doesn't wish to talk about it - since Laenors fake death is a secret
@@foxsquad6992 The point was to not have Daemon or Rhaanyra be the ones to murder him. That would be cruel. In the books, he was slain by his lover due to jealousy, it was then implied that he was slain on behalf of Daemon. In the show they wanted to let him go and live a life of peace away from pressure at least for a few years.....Now it's implied he's passed, either illness or otherwise. He was always going to die for seasmoke to be riderless.......he just didn't need to die at that moment and they didn't want the terms of the wedding between Daemon and Rhaenyra to be vicious and cruel.....all in all, unnecessary but acceptable.
Now Rhaenyra can move forward with FULL conviction that she is right to claim the throne - even with all out WAR!
I mean whether alicent was mistaken or not, the council already had plans to crown aegon, so it’s really not her fault, and even if she was on board with rhaenyra at this point, she ultimately has no power over anything anymore. Aegon is the king at this point and he’s the one with the dragon. Things are too far progressed on both sides with the death of jaehaerys and Luke, and neither alicent or rhaenyra would be willing to give up Daemon or aemond, respectively. Alicent is right, it’s too late.
Thank, so many people think the Queen dowager has any power 😂
@@ToeKnife166A Queen dowager has only a few social powers in her possession. She doesn’t have much control over state affairs even in these times. The King does those.
Please stop saying Alicent has no fault because she does. She should still try to put effort in stopping it. Not doing so is irresponsible.
@@believeume122 it’s not that she has no fault, but many reactors put the blame solely on her as if the events that happened would not have taken place anyways even without her. Many things were contributed by both sides to get to this point & it’s not all on Alicent
@@believeume122 It would’ve been pointless if she did so. No one wound listen.
I didn’t know when Aly rivers (crazy witch lady) Was gonna show up… but trust she will definitely show up more than once 😅
I always thought her being a witch were rumors.
@@happilyevernever4289 absolutely not there’s too much for her not to be connected to some crazy shit going on at this time, she does show up another time too and it’s the 1 appearance she’s known for 😅 also shows up when Ser Simon “swears the old golds” not the new.
it could be rumors, at least the extension of her powers. For instance, no one knows her age, but she is at least 45 although looks a bit younger. She is said to be able to entice men, which is what she uses to survive all the raids against Harrenhal. She is unable to entice Daemon though.
But she manages to entice Aemond and perhaps even Cole.
There’s no confirmation she truly is a witch, or if she just uses Harrenhal in her favor and do some rituals. She is a wet nurse, which means she’s been pregnant, but she has no children.
I like the theory she offers them as sacrifices for power/youth. As for seeing the future in the flames, there’s two options: either she does see it and wants God’s Eye to happen, perhaps to avenge the people she lost. Or she just heard that Daemon was there, considering he waited two weeks and let everyone know what he wanted. And counted on him to do the job.
@@aquele4virou3 she looks way younger But from what I know is in her 40s u right, She will definitely come face to face with Cole and Aemond at some point, the seeds are even being planted with Aemond liking “older girls” already tbf 😂🤣😅 For someone who is just a wet nurse tho, there’s multiple sources in the books from where she “really” originated from because it may not be so easy
@@aquele4virou3 she’s also got that energy the night queen “supposedly” had if u believe the old stark myths to be 100% true About her, with the weirwood tree present they are definitely alluding to some of the future stuff, A lot of that stuff comes straight from the original ASOIAF series which is pre cool tho, and all the bracken V Blackwood talk is definitely mirroring bloodraven and Bittersteels future war
I don't think Otto care what Alicent heard from the dying breath of King Viserys. He would just make shit up on his own to usurp Rhaenyra's throne.
You have met Alys Rivers aka the witch of harenhall
as soon as I saw her I was like "yup there is she at last"
33:50 Yet again Blake being clueless. There’s nothing either of them could do to stop it.
No you!
Right. 😂 he’s a sweet summer child. “They could easily stop what they’re doing” Dude the dance has started.
Brilliant episode. My god seeing harrenhall was awesome. The ending between Rhaenyra and Alicent was heartbreaking. Best show on TV
that whaling soundtrack and Rhaenyras look said it all. it's over. nothing left now but the killing and the burning.
I kinda agree with Alicent in the last scene...it's too late to end war at this point and she has no control to end it.
Oh, she's right but Rhaenyra had to try. She also probably subconsciously needed to know Viserys never actually changed his mind.
@@sarcasmxkateI agree!!
it's not really anything to agree about it's true and clear, Rhaenyra didn't know that tho, she didn't know Otto was gone and it was good for her to now know that Alicent was wrong so she has no more doubt that maybe her father did change his mind... so hopefully she'll be more comfortable doing what needs to be done
@@iris-xo okay...
I’m not sure if you guys are aware of this, but in the books, House Tully is named after the Muppets. The show already mentioned Lord Grover Tully who is still alive at this time but he has a son named Elmo and two grandsons named Kermit and Oscar. Kermit and Oscar Tully are very important figures for Rhaenyra’s side during the civil war. I don’t know how the show will introduce them but I imagine we will be meeting those characters soon enough. Also House Blackwood is pretty important to the war as well, their Lord, the very young 11 year old Benjicot Blackwood won quite a few key battles. I don’t know how the show will present the Houses Tully and Blackwood characters but I hope we get to see them soon.
Daemon did not run away. Since S1E10, he has been talking about capturing Harrenhal for Team Black.
Jace is gonna go off next episode watch. He was giving hella side eyes to Rhaenyra this whole episode
I think Rhaenyra sees Rhaena as the daughter she ever had, or a stand in for her lost baby Visenya.
“Wayne w a G in front of it” 😆
For all its worth, Cole is a very seasoned soldier, though his fighting mode is always on reckless attacker. Sharp eyes and ant least 10 years of experience, fighting in the Dornish Marches.
Team Blackwood for sure, even more now they know their rightful queen 🖤
And dear Blake, you do well to remember these names, they where here before (in ep.4 when Rhaenyra is playing Tinder and two boys fight, the younger was a Blackwood and the older was a Bracken) and will be back. Their feud exist since the Age of Heroes, continues till GoT times and will probably go on forever hahah
Harrenhal is the largest castle in Westeros and was finished right when Aegon landed in the continent to conquer. Harren, the Black during the war hid in his castle imagining he and his sons would be safe from Balerion and Aegon. He wasn't counting that dragonfire can melt even stone, so they all basically were buried in the melted castle. Since then there has been rumors that the castle is haunted, someone even said that when the Strongs died there last season. We have also seen it in the first scene of the show, on the Great Council of 101.
Just so you know, this is not the first time we saw Gwayne Hightower. In the first episode of the series, on the tournament, Daemon chooses him as opponent to provoke Otto, as this is his heir.
Great video as always, keep up the good work, guys 🙂
Gywane is the knight whose horse daemon tripped during g the tourney in season one
the "your grace" thing is tricky. in our world, the husband of the reigning Queen usually takes the title of Prince Consort instead of King Consort and thus would remain "my Prince", this is due to the connotations that have been placed to the title King Consort having been upheld by the patriarchy.
People would hear only the "KING" in "King Consort" and think he ranks above the actual ruler, the Queen
TL;DR: Daemon, for simplicity's sake, should have become Prince Consort and referred to by "my Prince"
Yeah I’m not clear on the in world rules as well because they clearly use the title of King Consort in reference to Daemon. Even Leanor was introduced as the future King Consort at his wedding with Rheanyra. But it seems moreso a title to define their relationship with the reigning monarch rather than their actual title at court.
@@RamseyGarnaoui and maybe it’s cause most of us don’t live in a monarch ruled country but it’s really confusing for the audience. I think they should’ve kept it as “Prince consort”, that way it will also feed more into Daemon’s mixed feelings about being soooo close to the throne but still far enough to not warrant being called “king consort”
@@NyikoDorishaha yeah Matt could pull on his experience of Prince Philip struggling to be Prince Consort to Elizabeth hahaha
@@RamseyGarnaoui he sure loves a role where he plays a blond prince with a claim to a throne he can’t actually press and marries the heir apparent who becomes queen and he feels shitty about having married a queen when she was a queen to be 😭
The thing is that without Otto in Court, and even worst, with Sir Cole as Hand, who spitefully hates Rhaenyra, whatever little chance there is to rectify the situation, is actually gone. Like, if before the chance of success was 5% no it is -500%
Is this guy saying Alicent should open the gates to allow her family to be slaughtered lol? There is some brain rot going on for the people that hate Alicent.
Episode 1x9 already showed that they were going to crown Aegon no matter what. He is the first born son of the king so the laws of the faith and Westeros tradition say he should be the heir. The death bed confession was a cherry on top, it didn’t actually factor into the legal argument for why they crowned him.
The king make the law. The king chose Rhaenyra and reafirm her as heir every chance he got.
@@howfirewell, westeros is not an absolute monarchy where a king can break the law according to his whim.
Viserys should have changed the rules of succession before or just after naming Rhaenyra as his future heir.
@@Anantinfinit there is no law, just tradition. She was named heir and everyone pledge loyalty to Rhaenyra.
@@howfire The characters on the green council were going to crown Aegon no matter what because of THEIR interpretation of the law, and they were going to have many supporters because many Lords of Westeros believe the same thing.
That is the point I'm making. What Alicent said at the council factored none into their decision.
@@howfire Half the realm are Andals and First Men, and according to both tradition and law, 'a son comes before a daughter'. Viserys should have done the same as Jaehaerys I Targaryen did with the Doctrine of Exceptionalism to legalise Targ incestuous marriage.
How can Viserys be so foolish as to think that this misogynistic society will 100% accept a daughter over a son without rebellion or uprising, this is the same Westeros that did not even elect female rulers when their birthright to the throne was also supported by both Andal and First Man Law.
Ex- Jaehaerys I Targaryen over Aerea Targaryen .
Viserys over rhaenys Targaryen.
Aegon over visenya.
The 2nd son of cregan stark over the daughters of his first son.
Notice most of the goldclaoks were replaced or defected
The eggs n pentos what a callback
When Aegon finds out Alicent let Rhaeynra go she will be in so much trouble
What if he doesn’t find out?
Otto wouldn't care whether Vyserys meant Aegon the Conqueror or not, he already had the plan in motion to take over once he died. Alicent's declaration was just a convenient icing on the cake. The realization that she was wrong just makes her less committed to the cause, but it wouldn't stop anything even if she campaigned for it.
The mysterious woman at Harrenhal is a witch. I won't say anymore.
First respect for the quick upload. In the future when all this chaos is unleashed just remember Rhaenyra did everything to try and prevent this war.
Guys there's nothing to prevent the war, Daemon will kill alicent children so alicent won't give up the throne, Aegon seeks vengeance for his son's death and Aemond would rather burn down westeros than see the blacks on the throne, there's no way to prevent it at this point. even if alicent did not misunderstood viserys words, The council lead by otto would've still crowned Aegon as king.
I hope Rhaena hatches her dragon morning and stays away from this dumb chaos
So you hope what she don’t want? Because she clearly want to fight with her family lol
@@Caraxes_RoguePrinceit won’t be grown in time anyway.
@@johnj4471 she can very well claim a dragon lol it don’t have to follow the book exactly.
@@Caraxes_RoguePrince you can’t follow a conversation can you? We are specifically talking about hatched. A hatched dragon will not be ready for this war.
@@johnj4471 and like you said it’s not getting bigger so why would I keep talking about that when it makes no sense? Use your brain she obviously not getting no freshly hatched dragon
🤦♀️😂😂 “someone’s glizzey getting gobbled.” 😂😂😂 I think we all said out loud “OW MAH GAWD” looked more like a Pinocchio than the real. Also, hats off to “his junk.” I bet he got paid a nice chunk of change for that shot.
Lmao . "Is this Daeron" after they have said the dudes name multiple times is funny.
Daeron is in Oldtown also, in addition to being young
Yes it was a huge risk to meet with Alicent, but kings fight on battlefields all the time. This was to make one last best effort to prevent needless death, so it was very worth it in her eyes.
I felt Blake’s rage when the others started justifying Alicent’s inaction 🤬
Helena, as someone on the spectrum, perceives things in a different amd at the same time more distinct way of the rest of the family. Her empathy is expressed ina stern way but she clearly suffers from the lost of her child. Everyone greaves differently and her way is very unique to her.
When Rheanyra kneels with Alicent in the Sept it’s just like when they were younger in season 1!
Also the scene where Alicent realizes she f*cked you is amazing!
I really enjoyed watching this episode. Rhaenyra and Alicent`s conversation at the end of the episode was amazing, also the cold opening was cool to see and the intro added two more things to it`s tapestry.
If Alicent tried to double back and allow Rhaenyra power it would either fail and catapult them all into bloody battle or succeed and end in the death of her, all 3 of her sons, her daughter, her granddaughter, and her father because they’d end up tried for treason and/or killed for being contenders for the throne since even if the blacks took over Kingslanding there are still houses throughout the realm ready to go to war for the greens.
You have it backwards: Aemond is maladjusted. Aegon is evil.
I’m really disappointed in how many people discount his rapes and child-fighting in Season 1. His sickness was dormant while he thought being king was fun and made people like him.
But he hung ALL of the ratcatchers to get to one. He’s still a sadistic asshole.
Aemond is overcoming parental neglect, child sexual abuse by a hooker, and general Second Son Syndrome. But he and Daemon are principled in their bad behavior.
Aegon is trash.
Those were definitely Danys eggs 😭 I recognized them right off the bat because of their coloring and all three were together. That blue one must still be out there.
Okay I guess I’ll stay up 😂
literally lol i was about to sleep but no longer!
Alicent always knew Aegon is a bad apple, but It comes down to a mother protecting her child. Even if your son is guilty, a mother would compromise her integrity to defend him.
The music in the Daemon scene where he took Harrenhal did go hard and that scene and that track was way more epic than it should’ve been
Harenhall is built atop an old godswood grove
17:21 One of those eggs is pink Rhaena will hatch that dragon egg and she will call her dragon Morning because he hached in the Vale. Geeta Patel the director of this episode just confirmed the other eggs are Daenerys dragon eggs.
Not just three Aegons. And it’s a pretty cursed name too.
Daenys the dreamer had a son Aegon who was Lord of Dragonstone during the Century of Blood.
Aegon I, the conqueror;
his grandson, Aegon the uncrowned, who was killed and usurped by his uncle Maegor, the cruel;
Aegon, son of Jaehaerys and Alysanne, died a few days after birth;
Aegon, brother of Daemon and Viserys, died before turning 1;
Aegon II, the usurper;
Aegon the younger, Rhaenyra and Daemon’s son;
then there will be other Aegons, three of them kings:
Aegon III;
Aegon IV;
Aegon V, known as Egg, who will be the protagonist of the new series Dunk & Egg and Daenerys’ great-grandfather;
and then fAegon/Aegon VI/Young Gryff, the supposed not-dead son of Rhaegar and is aiming for the throne, he was cut from the show but exists in the books and wants to marry Daenerys. Theories are he’s a Blackfyre pretender.
And in GOT, there the dumb Jon name, but its a consensus he’s probably not called Aegon considering Rhaegar already had a son called Aegon with Elia Martell.
As for the kings. Odd numbered Aegons are good kings. The conqueror (I), The Unlucky (III), The Unlikely (V). Even numbered Aegons suck. The usurper (II) and the Unworthy (IV).
No way Aegon is giving the throne up to the woman he thinks killed his son.
Something to note, the Blackwood at the start is Davos Blackwood who’s not in the books.. we thought he was Bloody Ben but apparently not :(
This is the second time a Blackwood has killed a Bracken in this show!
You're right, the royal family (Greens) would be a mess if that information was pushed. But, I suspect the fact that this information being now in their camp is a planted seed that will cause LOTS of problems. Rhaenyra was wise to clarify this. This little trip will bear fruit.
King Consort would be the term for Daemon, he's not King as that implies he has the power. So much like Alicent was Queen Consort being called "your grace" Daemon should be that too, it's just the first time there's been a Queen so of course there's a bit of misunderstanding.
Great vid lads, can't wait for next week.
The blackwood kid is the kid that courted rhanerya in season one
Gwayne Hightower was the guy on the horse Daemon tripped in the tournament.
One of the directors of the episode confirmed that the dragons sent with Rhaena are Danaerys's deagons
The 4th one belongs to Rhenera's youngest son, Viserys. I think it's a cool bit to have them all be in the same box
Something I want y’all to know, the showrunners or directors have confirmed of those 4 dragons eggs, 3 do become Dany’s dragon 169 years later!
You are literally looking at the future of House Targaryen
The beginning of Rhaenyra and Alicent debate , Alicent thought she had the upper hand and could find peace if Rhaenyra surrendered, hears her mistake and suddenly there can be no peace.
Otto can't be angry at Alicent or blame her for her misunderstanding because he was genuinely wanting to usurp the throne.
Literally not possible to stop. Either Aegon or Rhaenera would need to give up there throne. Nither will.
Lol if that dude thinks alicent is just going to open the gates for rhaenyra he has another thing coming.
The irony of rhanera dressed as a nun lol
Jaehearys and Luke are dead. There's no going back. I also don't really believe that most people believed Alicent about Viserys naming Aegon as heir anyways.
The council was like "oh cool, so he wouldn't be mad we were already plotting."
41:08 Otto doesn't give a shit about that. He want (his) male heir to sit on the iron throne no matter what. Even if this misunderstanding plot didn't happen... He'll still gonna usurp the throne for aegon.
Also don't let these comments calling you names make you stop speaking out your mind. Keep cooking those "stupid" theories, ideas, opinions... Not only it's funny but reading people get really mad about it also entertaining. 😂
I mean I'm not name calling Blake, but his take is dumb. Speaking ones mind does not mean people won't call out dumb stuff.
Plus, as much as they rib eachother, I'm sure Blake is fine.
33:16 there is like 11 known Aegons.
Hahaha ikr, there have been at least 5 crowned Aegons. It is actually insane, but the same can be said for Edwards, Williams and Charles in Europe haha
HERE ‼️
You're saying it's too late BUT I'm sure the starving people there who are going to die would gladly stop the war. It's like having nukes and knowing you don't have to use them and using them anyway. Another reason why the greens should not be ruling. Rhaenyra did all the talking and pleading she could...it's time for action.
Allisan can't change anything anymore, even if she wanted to. She does not have the influence and power to do so (If it were different, she would try it, I'm sure, because she is someone who repents). That's why it's too late. Against all the haters (including the king of ignorance Blake) here, it was made very clear again that Alisant put her son on the throne out of conviction and not because she heard what she wanted to hear. She did not know the story of ice and fire and therefore had no other reference to the name Aegon than her son. Now there is no way back. Her son will not let the crown be taken away from him and his subordinates will not allow that. She can't do anything.
In addition, it was made very clear in the last episode that Alisant's sons no longer listen to her thanks to Otto. This was literally the topic of the conversation between Alisant and Otto.
Btw Alisant lets her friend go. The war could have ended right here in Hightower's favor.
Seasmoke is restless because his owner is still alive and unreachable for him. The bond between dragon and rider lasts until the rider dies. And as far as I know, the dragon does not accept a new rider for so long. If you give such hints that actually don't contribute anything to the story, you can assume that someone believed dead will soon become a topic again, maybe even come back.
Alicent Hightower knew FULL WELL that King V never "changed his mind" on his deathbed. And watching her get EXTRA confirmation of that AND STILL prioritize mass bloodlust over Truth is ENRAGING! It's NEVER TOO LATE for Diplomacy. What a SAD EXCUSE. I know it's a TV show, but people start wars this way FOR REAL. It genuinely pisses me off. The human cost is real.
Clearly not based on this scene.
Your hatred of Allicent is blinding you to facts.
@christoperwallace6197 oh yea! You're right 🤣 how could I ever "see through my bias?" I guess I was just wrong 🤷🏻♂️🤣🤣 Lets just get on a Dragon and press the Nuclear Holocaust button.
I can see why we have nothing but hopeless endless feckless war in real life. Thanks comment section
Alicent cannot stop it at this point. Also the taking of the Throne by Aegon was going to happen regardless so Aegon has a load of support all over the realm. Alicent however has everyday less and less power and im sure she will try to have some sort of end but by the end of episode 4 something will happened that will cross the point of no return for both sides.
The battle aftermath was supposed to mirror the battle.of savannahs during the American Civil war
Allicent wasn't even sorry. Dont defend her to me
1:54 I get what you saying but it is funny because both houses are acient noble houses.
They didn't listen to Otto but somehow people think Alicent has the power to stop the war. Rhaenyra barely has the respect of her war council but you guys think Alicent alone can stop the war and get Aegon to step down. If she did try to I don't think Aegon would have her killed but he would just dismiss her from his court as he did Otto. And the idea that Alicent could just open the gates to King's Landing and let Team Black enter, that would be codemning her children to death. Just like when the Mad King fell, and the Lannisters took over King's landing, they butchered all the remaining targaryen children. Expecting Alicent to put Rhaenyra over her children's lives is just unrealistic. While I don't think Rhaenyra would want to kill Alicent's children, there is no doubt Daemon & other members of team black would. So she's right in saying its too late.
Notice, Aegon has always been Aemond’s biggest bully.. as kids and as adults.
What he does next I feel is fully called for from Aemond
2:35 bro died by his own sword😂
I think seasmoke is going to be ridden by one of Corlys' bastards. I think Alyn and his brother are Corlys' sons.
the world would be a better place if every man on this earth knew how to style his hair as well as Cojo
Cole sporting cerse haircut
making alicent carry all the weight and guilt after seeing all the disgusting men that sit around her, is crazy. war is inevitable and alicent was wrong but we already know the small council were already plotting to put aegon on the throne, and on top of it all they dont even bother to listen to her anyways so what is she supposed to do, blake?
They don’t want to want to stop now
That girl that spoke to Daemon. She kind of looks like the OTHER red witch from GOT. I am fairly certain....
I wish I could post a pic here. But her face is SO SIMILAR.
Yay been keeping watch for ur guys reaction ☺️
next episode gonna be 🥹🥹🥹
This series so far I’m liking it and I’m curious. Great reactions as always gentlemen. Thanks ❤️🦬☮️. As always team black 🖤🤍
I just finished y'all Evil Dead reaction 🤣... Are y'all going to react to newest one Evil Dead Rise?
Possibly
Blake putting on chapstick while saying "major bitch energy" got me seeing what the comments see in him 😫 im still a corey simp tho
Gwayne was the one Daemon unhorsed in the first episode. Now his daughter just traumatized him again. Full circle.
Also, fun fact, Criston isn’t actually a dornishman. He’s from a noble house under House Dondarrion in the stormlands. The show changed it, for what reason? No idea. If he was from Dorne I doubt he would be such an whiny incel crying about bastards.
About Ulf, the guy saying he is Baelon’s bastard. It better be a scheme because Baelon would NEVER. Dude had probably the happiest marriage in the whole Targaryen dynasty and he never remarried or showed interest after Alyssa died after the birth of their third child (another Aegon, who also died a few months later). Ulf even looks older than Daemon, so that implies he would have cheated on Alyssa and that’s just hilarious. Their life was basically having sex and flying together. He rode Vhagar, she rode Meleys, and their older brother rode Caraxes. After she died, he only cared about Viserys, Daemon and his brother, Aemon. And when Aemon died, he killed thousands to avenge him.
I imagine there are whiney icels in Dorne as well.
Aemond evil? But we saw he's not evil actually
House "Strong" weirdly feels like an oxymoron lol. Save Larys who I still cannot figure out who he's playing for.
This is the 3rd wet whistle contusion I’ve heard today. I suppose that one is getting lost to time? Wonder if it’ll start coming back like chefs kiss did.
Edit: wet whistle contusion is hilarious. Clearly I meant confusion lmfao
Lmao ty for this laugh.
And yea, It's weird to me. I'm only in my 30's, but the younger early to mid 20s crowd make me feel so old when they miss something like this.
I just assumed, it being related to drinking, it would be handed down by other older drinkers.
Then again, maybe it was but no one remembered?
Pay attention to the lady in Harrenhal. She'll be more important in the future.
People who hate Allicent really arent resonable when it comes to her.
Also, extremely interesting take about Mysaria….not EXACTLY a “trash take” but she has no Valyrian blood
Aemond is evil/worse than Aegon?!?! Cojo is trippin'! Aemond actually showed remorse for his actions with Luke. Other than with his cousins that used to tease and bully him as a child, I've never seen him being cruel to anyone or anything. He is all about duty. He would make a FAR better king than Aegon...by MILES!!!
I dont get blakes point. There is literally nothing Alicent can do to stop the war now.
Yea. It's part of the whole need to blame Alicent thing some fans have.
“The witch” Alys Rivers giving Daemon visions infront of the God’s Eye the telling him “You will die in this place” is a crazy scene! A good bit of foreshadowing as well
