Took like a week of Aemond's reign for his people to start rioting in the streets for locking them all inside King's Landing and parading Meleys through the streets
And remember that just few weeks ago, they were paradying little Jaeherys' body across the street as part of Otto's idea to gain sympathy to the Greens and makes Rhaenyra bad. Also, poor Helaena, she didn't involve to any of this but she becomes the Black Sheep to the Smallfolk.
@@mandynam7581 Also, The Greens is busy telling the propaganda of Rhaenyra and The Blacks that they're bad people and even paradying Meleys' head. But, the people thinks it's too far as Dragon is the symbol of Targaryen family for many generations and they treat it like Gods. Well, until another riot happen but I'm not gonna tell you yet.
@@MissDafne92 She can't raise a kid with love, but in life-threatening situations, she'll shield the poor saps. Alicent even put herself in between Aegon and Melys the Red Queen.
I notice that for years, Helaena shrirked from Alicent's touch--even back in early season 1 when she was a baby, she cried when Alicent was holding her, but in the last couple of scenes, Helaena has reached for Alicent now. Like in this scene, Alicent grabs her, and Helaena grabs her back and they are holding on to each other. And the fact that in her hour of greatest despair when her son was murdered, the person Helaena ran to was her mother. Not her husband, not a guard, but to find comfort and safety with her mother.
I like how in Season 1, the Hightower theme had a feeling of dominance and revenge. Used here it has that feeling of karma like "Yeah, you got what you wanted, are you happy now?"
Haelena freaking out during Jaehaerys funeral procession makes so much more sense once you see this scene. Her vision saw this and what chopping off that peasant's hand will bring further down the road. Those who know the story, know what I'm referring to

Gonna be honest Aemond doesn’t care about the people thats why they are starving! And Rhaenyra can use the folks against them because she has the heart of the people. Imagine Aemond reign for a year let’s see how many people hated him!
It’s funny since it is common knowledge that Rhaenyra is responsible for blocking any trade our resources entering Kingslanding by sea. I guess it’s why some commoners help defend Alicent and Haelena as they likely know Rhaenyra is no saint.

@@secondeye1574 I cannot believe the writers made the smallfolk this stupid because it is common knowledge that Rhaenyra is the reason why the gullet is blockaded and the smallfolk starving. I’m glad some of the smallfolk have enough of a brain to understand this when they defended Alicent and Haelena from their idiotic neighbors. The smallfolk in the Fire & Blood History Book are recorded to hate Rhaenyra more than they dislike Aegon II. Also, adding a heroic background music in the Season 1 finale of Corlys suggesting to Rhaenyra that they blockade the gullet is horrifying. Why would the writers and showrunner add a heroic background music to a horrifying order. An order that led to starvation and innocents dying??? This show is biased and is increasingly so when Martin actually stated how much he disliked the live adaptation of Blood & Cheese.

I would love it if there’s a scene next episode where Aegon visits the mangled corpse of his friend after he was likely beaten to death by the rioters for cutting off a peasant’s arm.
Anyone else wonder if it was weird for Alicent to pray with Haelena? She used to pray with Rhaenyra, and Haelena must remind Alicent of her. Maybe that's why? Anyways, it would be really weird for your daughter to be your besties sister.
nothing is weird with praying with their kid 😂. felt like she was just trying to bond with her children after mistakes she did as a mom. + the context was praying for Aegon for his recovery

It looks rather weird that while not in winter having some houses from the fertile Reach, less fertile Crownlands, Westerlands and Baratheon Stormlands supporting the greens King's Landing was starving from just a naval blockade of food not coming from overseas. I get that during war priority is given to soldiers and dragons and that the hold over the kingdoms was not entire, but in GoT when the Reach alone ends up supporting the Lannisters famine is quickly solved.
There is a war in the reach because Lord Beesburry was killed (by Cole in S1). Additionally, the Tyrells, who are warden of South, do not support any side. So yeah, it's hard for them to aid Kingslanding.

@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 Yeah, as gifted as Aemond is at warfare, he’s made of thinking his ruthless nature and intimidation tactics that work so well on the battlefield would be enough to keep the small folk in line.
It wasn't over Meleys head. It was over Aegon/Aemonds ruling and not caring about the small folk. The lack of food available for the population is what sparked the riot after they received food from Rhaenyra.
I guess the smallfolk loving Helaena and turning on Rhaenyra for hiking up taxes and throwing lavish feasts while they’re starving is just maester propaganda, huh? The team black bias is getting hard to tolerate to be honest.

Higher taxes would be dumb to not include on the writers' part because the crown's coffers are already suffering from the war effort so it makes complete sense for Rhaenyra to raise them. If they end up removing this or worse make the Greens raise taxes, then they really are being too bias
WTF? This is shot so bad. There is no way that they wouldn’t have at least douzens of men accompany them after the Prince was literally ASSASSINATED a few days ago. Also the Kingsguard would cut through that rabble in 2 seconds.
Aegon appointed several vastly under qualified knights to the kings guard. One of them was the one who cut off the old man’s hand and further provoked the small folk.
You want them to get hated EVEN MORE than they're already are? There's a reason Alicent kept on telling the guards to sheath their swords. These peasants are suffering
Besides that man that went in to get Alicent and Helaena(Rickard Thorne), the rest of those Kingsguards were Aegon's BFFS he promoted. They were basically his drinking buddies. 😂
People pretending to forget that Rhaenyra's blockade atempting to starve out the city is the reason for the food shortages and blamming it on Aemond being mean never ceases to amaze me. Just shows how tribalistic this show's fanbase has become.😅
So what it’s war and aemond is suppose to be ruling over them and feeding them and helping them he isn’t he is to focused on feeding the dragons that he is forgetting about the small folk. Yes she put that blockade up but she is also helping the people the best she can by sending food which is aemonds so called job not hers. The small folk look up to the people ruing them and at the moment it’s the greens in the palace not rhaenyra.
@@Mcherri "helping the best she can"? She is actively trying to starve the city and using starvation as a weapon. She sent a few little boats of food for propaganda to pretend to care after she spread lies about the greens suposedly throwing grand feasts (which is what she ends up doing when she rules the city), that is not enough to relieve the city. How could you miss the most obvious plot point of the episode? How is Aemond suposed to get more food without breaking the blockade? Can he just make food materialize from nothing? He is actually working on that front by trying to end the blockade.
@@Mcherri she did not send food to help the people, it was a symbolic offer to pretend that she cares. She cut off the food supply on purpose to cause the crisis. And Aemond can't get more food without breaking the blockade which he is trying to do. And if they don't feed the dragons the war is lost. The fault os 100% Rhaenyra's, not Aemond's.
@@Mcherri she is not helping them, she caused the problem. She then made a symbolic gesture that has little influence on the situation for the vast majority of people other than propaganda. And the only way for Aemond to get enough food is to break the blockade that Rhaenyra is doing which he is trying to do.
@@masterplokoon8803 she did not caused the problem. The greens are the problem and the reason the blockade is there. If they wouldn't have stolen the throne from her these things would have never happened
Stop using the slur "crazy" please. It's a slur for people who live with mental disorders. Also, Helaena is not going insane, and being suicidal is being ill but still not "insane" or "crazy". 21st century knocks and says hello.
This season is shit, but Alicent is really heroic in this scene, she gets mud in the face but she protects her daughter at all costs even if she falls down the stairs and gets her arm slashed

Yes she put that blockade up but she is also helping the people the best she can by sending food which is aemonds so called job not hers. The small folk look up to the people ruing them and at the moment it’s the greens in the palace not rhaenyra.
@@Mcherri "helping the best she can"? She is actively trying to starve the city and using starvation as a weapon. She sent a few little boats of food for propaganda to pretend to care after she spread lies about the greens suposedly throwing grand feasts (which is what she ends up doing when she rules the city), that is not enough to relieve the city. How could you miss the most obvious plot point of the episode? How is Aemond suposed to get more food without breaking the blockade? Can he just make food materialize from nothing? He is actually working on that front by trying to end the blockade.
@@Mcherri she did not send food to help the people, it was a symbolic offer to pretend that she cares. She cut off the food supply on purpose to cause the crisis. And Aemond can't get more food without breaking the blockade which he is trying to do. And if they don't feed the dragons the war is lost. The fault os 100% Rhaenyra's, not Aemond's.
@@Mcherri she is not helping them, she caused the problem. She then made a symbolic gesture that has little influence on the situation for the vast majority of people other than propaganda. And the only way for Aemond to get enough food is to break the blockade that Rhaenyra is doing which he is trying to do.
@@masterplokoon8803 she did not caused the problem. The greens are the problem and the reason the blockade is there. If they wouldn't have stolen the throne from her these things would have never happened
Is the building at 2:15 the same building that Cersei blew up with wild fire?
Yes its the great sept of Baelor
EDIT: I am wrong, Balor hasn't been born yet
@@S0M3GUY778 Its just a sept. The sept of Baelor hasn’t been built yet.
@@stew-03 ah true, so much history in the Targaryen dynasty I forget the order lol
They need to have Helaena going a little more crazy………
Stop using the slur "crazy" please. It's a slur for people who live with mental disorders. Also, Helaena is not going insane, and being suicidal is being ill but still not "insane" or "crazy". 21st century knocks and says hello.
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 Autism isn't even a mental disorder. Is a neurodevelopmental disorder.
This show is shit now. But Olivia cooke in every scene is perfect.
Due mainly to aegon. Nearly 100 years before Sansa and Cersei attacked by kings landing smallfolk due mainly to joff
This season is shit, but Alicent is really heroic in this scene, she gets mud in the face but she protects her daughter at all costs even if she falls down the stairs and gets her arm slashed
Protecting one's child is not "heroic", it's normal and natural.
Thats like bare minimum 😅
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849She protected ageon in season 1 too against meleys.
Long live rhaenyra there the same one who turn on her as well right
Get my baby Helaena out of there!!! Let Alicent rot!!
Как много сил и бодрости у слабых, голодающих людей😂
