Moral of the story:
Nobody named "Joffrey" should attend royal weddings
Not EVER! NO JOFFREYS ALLOWED
Spoiler Alert, one of Rhaenyra Targaryen's sons will be named, you guessed it, Joffrey Velaryon.
No red, purple or green weddings for him, we hope.
@@opopad 💀💀💀
Lol
@@opopad - "Joffrey" can be allowed to go, he just should not want to go.
I don’t understand this, a knight is allowed to slap the future king consort, kill another knight. Put the highborn children at risk, due to the riot he created. N no one calls for his head… Daf.??? It is in these moments I miss Cersei
RIGHT
My thoughts exactly. Laenor should have called for Cristian's head.
Not to mention ruined an awesome wedding week of events! 😛
He did not kill a Knight...he saved the Valariyons their head'ache , so I'm pretty sure that is why House Valariyon won't do nothing to him...and also, remember he tried to kill himself, probably because he knew they will do it eventually....The Queen saving him from that means the Queen will stand by him, and the Valariyons regardless of their power won't over'ride the Queen.... Just my thoughts...
Yeah Cersei didn’t give one shit about all that. One thing I loved about her, is her ferocious love for her children
Crispen didn’t even wait to see what alicent was talking about. 😂😂 he just started singing . 😂😂
Snitching....
why we calling him crispin?
@@lionizemusic1 LOL because that's what Daemon accidentally on purpose called Criston when he went with Otto to get back the dragon egg - when they all met on Dragonstone's walkway.
Like a canary 😂
I love how you called Alicent the “Virgin Mary,” because I think that’s why Cole is going to be the staunchest Green, not because she’s holding some secret over him, but because she’s this proper lady who’s extended grace to him, allowing him to “regain” his honor. Couple that with a little self-deceit about Aegon having a better claim to the thrown and you have Evil Cole. A thin line between love and hate! (or, as you said, some men just can’t take rejection well)
OHHHHHH. Here I was thinking he got a visitation from the Maiden! Who would have kicked his ass for being such a self absorbed ungentle knight.
Yeah, Daemon got rejected also but you dont see him killing someone after. And he sacrificed his wife for the chance to marry Rhaenerya
Nice observation! It makes perfect sense. Alicent will notice how much power she can hold over Christon. The man was so filled with self-loathing 9ver his behaviour, he wanted to die. And then Alicent pops up. When you feel you are drowning; beware of the extended hand that pulls you out; you never know how long they've watched you splashing about. Manipulators are good at that; they will extend 'grace' but remind you that it can be taken away if you don't do as you are told. They also keep reminding you, how much they have helped you. I have been in a narc relationship and my narc krept into my life at my lowest and extended 'grace'...myeah, that didn't end well. For me. The narc in turn, profited a lot from my 'devotion'. You are spot on!(sorry for the projection with my own ish. I felt like venting😉)
@@1rjona I think it's safe to say Cole had more honor and integrity than Daemon up until he allowed himself to be seduced by Rhaenyra.
@@012345678940975 yes , Honor you have in abundance when you lack power over other people. When you have power, honor is unfortunately a luxury
Ser Crispin roaming freely after killing a knight and punching the future king consort is the biggest problem with this Episode
Also the King's Guards in the HOTD are as useless as Night King's guards.
Hard agree.. I was like wheeeeet
I agree the only thing I could think of that would work in reality is that that the parents did not want to show that their son is crying and screaming and carrying on about another man so the more attention that they gave it the more Possibility they had of exposing their son?? And I mean he did vacate the area and it was about to kill himself. Because he knew what was coming
Cristen Dondarrion will be 4 Queen Alicent because she stopped him from committing suicide.
That was the stupidest scene in the possibly the entire series so far. The writers obviously added that purely for shock value.
The books made more sense. Crispin killing Joffrey in tourney with a blow to the head that left Joffrey lingering for 6 days gives Crispin plausible deniabilty. This does not. I don't see how Crispin can stay on the Kingsguard, much less alive, after disrupting the feast like THAT.
It’s kinda hard to feel anything for Daemon killing his wife besides a bit of shock considering the fact we haven’t seen her. I mean yeah it’s fucked up but that’s all it is for me lmao props to her for talking shit the entire time tho lmao.
Facts.
Yeah. She seemed cool. And I wanted more of her before she died. She wad feisty.
I mean he didn't really try to kill her. He didn't push the horse over lol. He put her out of her misery as she was paralyzed. He wasn't even going to do that until she taunted him
@@revolutionoutdoorsandstuff5846 To be fair she probably would have died anyway 🤷
@@revolutionoutdoorsandstuff5846 He told everyone that he'd basically rather fuck a sheep than her, took off and stayed gone, kept a mistress out of sexual frustration that he couldn't bang his neice. He deserved worse than "taunting"😆
Alisent always played by the rules: obeying dad, marrying old dude, not knowing a moment of enjoyment and she is the victim. That turns into jealousy, selfrightesness and bitterness towards Rhey. Rhay refuses to be a victim, wants some happiness in life and I suspect that's going south too. Yup, I like the general sympathy towards both girls/young women... But Alicent's sad and frustrated life will lead her to...well...we already see the glimpses.
I absolutely agree with you. I haven't read the book(s) beyond the original GoT so I have no idea who is who in this timeline, but Alicent certainly is jealous and resentful of "stepdaughter" who manages to get away with everything and STILL remains heir for all to bend the knee to. How that must grate on the nerves of the girl who "obeyed all she was ordered to do."
I completely agree with u
Daemon not getting up when Alicent comes in made me laugh so hard like yea fuck her I ain’t getting up.
Thus far, I'm Team Alicent... she's been thrust into an awful position, has been lied to by someone she was defending and her husband is absolutely useless, in bed and out. Plus green is my favourite colour and House Dragon can suck it... they are all crazy and incestuous, anyway.
King Daemon would've kept old town in check. He was watching everything play out from the stage.
@@Jay-fm5zq he sure was! he was like us- the viewers- watching it all play out.
@Jose Gonzalez He's trash, Westeros would be far better without him.
🤣🤣💪
Alicent’s entrance with the music and the clubfoot’s monologue over the music sent chills down my spine because I KNOW WHATS COMING 😂 I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was everything! And im not even Team Green 😩🙌
It was like a WWE entrance she's a perfect heel..Rhaenyra looked shook.
"Go to hell Crispin go to hell" 😂😂😂why do I feel this is not the last time you will say that this season. I am loving it keep up the good work!😆
The inheritance from killing his wife is just a bonus for Daemon, not the motive
I think he knows he can't get it because they haven't consummated, but I think he still going to runstone just to troll as always
It's the motive. What else did he have to gain from it? He already said he was prepared for a loveless marriage. Notice how Rhea realized what he was going to do when she tripped up in asking how he was going to get his power back after being skipped over for Rhaenyra. The Vale offered him a legitimate seat of power, but it could only be fully his without Rhea interfering. He now has his own castle, lands, and the most respected army in Westeros for himself.
Killing Rhea simply because they don't get along is a pointless risk. That's not how those people work. And the moment he's asked about it he goes straight for discussing the inheritance. He could have done it years ago if it was just about not liking her. He had even asked for a second wife, he had no plans of killing her until his brother refused to marry him to Rhaenyra and completely cut him off so he couldn't run off to Dragonstone anymore. Everything he does is calculated to bring him the largest reward.
The only problem would be if other people knew the marriage wasn't consummated. Without that the marriage isn't legal, and he would inherit nothing.
@@ajae... The motive is to get his wife out of the way to marry someone else.
@@danibee9943 I'm clear on the motives. Of course he could marry again if she's dead. He also could have married again because the marriage was not consummated so it wasn't a legal marriage. All either of them had to do was make that known to marry other people. No murder necessary. As of now people think it was consummated so he is line to inherit her shit and it protects his reputation.
Your absolute hatred of Otto never fails to make me laugh my ass off😂😂😂😂
The scene where Larys is talking to Alicent, when I first heard his voice from off-screen, I could swear it was Little Finger.
Larys is a cross between Little finger , and Varys. L (Little finger) + Varys = Larys 😆
@@luvprue1
Whoa
I'm actually mad about Laena not flying in on Vhagar. She was described as loving to fly and that would've been hell of an entrance.
Agreed!!
every *single* glance and side-eye at that feast had my heart thumping, i had to watch 3 times to catch everything happening!!
"Laenor and Rhaenyra walked so Renly and Margaery could run". O man, that gave me a good laugh!
And that statement works even better when you consider that Laenor's and Renly's lovers both have gruesome fates. Joffery getting his face turned into raw hamburger and Loras getting boiling oil dumped on him taking Dragonstone.
Of course there are theories that Loras is fine and that he is faking his injury because, hey, this is ASOIAF!
Yup! yes there are theories he is faking so he could either plan something or he wants to go home and rid his lands and shield islands from the invaders.
Loras died in the Sept with Marjorie when Cersei used wildfire to blow it up.
@@sabinamohan2415 In the books we don't see that - not written yet.
I like that theory!
Of course if he did get injured by boiling oil he might live but lose his looks. How would that change him, the handsomest and gayest knight in at least six kingdoms?
@@eric2500 hahaha handsomest in the 6 kingdoms maybe. But it could be 6 for real. Cause we know Jon snow is pretty as well but being a bastard in peoples eyes, he won’t be as good looking or appealing as Loras. If his ass was sitting on the iron throne and his dragon circle above the red keep, watch how pretty he becomes to everybody😂. But true if he did get burned with that oil, he will loose his looks for sureeee. He gets more attention than the king slayer right now. Jamie has said sir Loras is him in his youth
Yooooo I never thought about that: you’re right Gray - Alicent didn’t tell Rhaenyra about messing with the king, so what makes you think she’s gonna tell you about Mr. CrispyBacon? Pft
Joffery definitely got out of his lane, he didn't realize he was dealing with a spurned "white knight" who believes he was dishonored. Sadly and brutally he "F'd around and found out".
And the reason Sir Christon Cole got away with it, not saying this is right, but it is because the high lords of the realm didn't care for him or the family he served.
Damn how’d you get this up so fast??? Great video! And I will say that the spurned lover hatred works both ways - spurned women can be just as awful as men can be. I really like the way they wrote Criston; he’s transparently selfish and motivated by trying to escape his own shame and guilt and the consequences of his actions. Not love of Rhaenyra. Very believable, people definitely act like that.
Hey David are you going to make more Grey rat conspiracy videos using the Easter eggs in the show after season one
Edit: I always try to catch your lives when they're actually live because I would actually like to be a part of the conversations when they're happening but RUclips slows down pauses and sometimes just closes out when I'm on your live do you know what's up with that cuz I seriously want to actually join the conversation instead of just watching the replays
Unfortunately there is a weird lack of empathy when a man is used for sex and led on, if the roles were reversed women would be calling for his head. Just calling a spade a spade, there's a strange blind spot for men getting used for sex
Never have to get ready if you stay ready
@@Captain_Insano_nomercy Oh please. Men hold most of the power in this world, just as in ours. And this guy thinks sex means the lady will give up everything to be with HIM, making him not so much a man as a boy.
Hey David good to see you here I just luv all you guys Grey's an the Direawolf city are great I really enjoy all your videos I get a laugh plus lot's of great information from the book's that I've learnt from you all
Corlys and Daemon hunger for power. Alicent cannot just fold her hands and hope for mercy from them.They would kill her son the moment they felt their own offspring's position was threatened.
I think what the show gets wrong Is that while we're in a very violent society, it is also a very structured one. You cannot just go around killing people without consequences
I saw another video that suggested Vaegar wasn’t taken to the wedding because it was mentioned in a previous episode that Vaegar is too big for the Dragon Pit.
Isn’t Vaegar a free dragon? No one has tamed it since the last dragon riders death. It’s just roaming around
I shouted ‘Mr Cole you have lost your mind’ 😂😂😂 when Crispin was catching feelings on the boat
Same
Ser Cole, have you taken leave of your senses?!
Lmao same!
Lol we calling him “Crispin” and not “Criston”?! I’m dying. It just makes this narration all the funnier. I’m such a fan of yours! Thank you for always speaking with such knowledge and humor on these series!!
We can thank Daemon for that. Lol. I just took to calling him Crispy.
We always mispronounce Ser Christmas' name
That's his name. It is known
"Go to hell Crispin!!"😂😂😂
@@juliansmoma Me too 😀
The theory that the Maesters are poisoning the king really makes sense. There’s also a theory that they manipulated the council of 101 because if any other Targaryen (especially one with a dragon) was seated on the iron throne- these issues would be few and far between.
They aren't poisoning him. He was septic from his gangrenous fingers and boils. They should have amputated the finger when it was first turning black
@@jade20ez They might not be poisoning, but they are certainly avoiding to help him correctly.
When the new younger maester Orwyle, I think, suggested to try a new remedy, Mellos immediatly dismissed him saying that leeches will be sufficient, even we all know that leeches have been doing nothing good to the king. And also, if you watch closely, during the wedding Mellos was sat next to the Hightower lord. They are up to something.
Poisoning him with leprosy? Considering he lives for at least another decade in that condition it would seem they are actually keeping him alive. I mean if they are poisoning him, they’re doing a shit job at it. Lol.
Exactly. Had Rhaenys been crowned Queen, she has not just her dragon but Corlys and all his power. Any and all negative reactions to her woulda been shut down and crushed immediately.
Sir Otto also told his daughter that the king would die maybe not in 5 months or 5 years but he stated the king would not live to be an old man. They definitely plotting
Harwin can DEFINITELY break my bones lol. This is such a great break down! I DEVOURED your GoT content. Loving HOTD so far. I just find it so crazy that Otto didn’t think about this scenario of Alicent having children that could be endangered when he was scheming for Alicent to get with King Viserys
Imo Ser Otto has no accountability
he knew, but he thought he could convince the king that when he had a male heir, he'd change the inheritance.
The tapestry/painting in the back of Queen Alicent as she questions Ser Criston about the night Raynera was out with uncle Daemon Was a slick spoiler/ Easter egg
You mean the five-way that was happening? 😂
I did feel bad about how Alicent's life went, but she's just as much of a liar as Rhaenyra is... she has no business throwing stones! That chemistry with Rhaenyra and Daemon is HOT, like it or not 🤣
Bro thanks, pple be forgetting that Alicent knew the implication of her Father telling her to comfort the King,she knew it meant make him yours, now lm not gonna go on and on about whether she had choice or not__ She did what she did and then she expected Rhaenyra to accept, roll over and let her make her son king like she never knew what mattered to Rhaenyra....from a logical point of view it's fine but this ain't logic,they were _friends_ (canon in the series), she could have been upfront and then had Rhaenyra hate her or have a fight, but she the friend more than anyone didn't believe her own friends convictions or that she deserved the truth.....sides if l may ask what was her plan after asking Rhaeny if she fucked Daemon .....esp after how she phrased it with disgust and judgement? To smile and be like __ts ok mate my father even had me go comfort some old ass nigga after his wife has died wearing my dead mom's dresses they fucked in_ life's pear shaped l'll keep your secret?
Im sayin tho! She act like she ain’t do everything she did to get to where she was
I dont like that Chemistry between an uncle and his niece.... between the actors, yes. I also think that Alicent has any choice in refusing her fathers commands
@@Zephur0s so if my dad tells me to commit murder, and I do it, am I not guilty of murder? Lol
Nice try on relieving her of any blame
@Azure - jmho, but you can't attach today's sensibilities on this show. IRL, the inner family bed hopping is NASTY, and so would sending your teenage daughter to "support" the King after his wife died...BUT in the time that this story takes place, girls were bartered into marriage to the one that offered the best price and station for the family. And, as far as the uncle / niece thing, you can go back to the ancient "royal" lines in Egypt, Rome, and Greece, and they married relatives all the time to "kept the royal bloodlines pure". Personally, I just have suspend that reality when I watch the show, because that WAS the Targaryen way...siblings, cousins, aunts/uncles, etc. didn't matter. Increasing the Targaryen numbers was the ultimate goal so the name never faded and there would always be a Targaryen on the iron throne.
And, Alicent sure didn't mention anything about her going to see the King every night...that's a lie, but I guess it's ok for HER to lie, just not Rhaenyra? Lying Pot meet Fibbing Kettle...
Jmho. 😁
Lyonel‘s face the entire feast be like “oi shit here comes another problem I should find solutions for“ 🤣 Poor man needs a long vacayy
most stressed out man in Westeros other than the king lmao
Lmao for real
Poor Lyonel
Joffrey does draw a dagger in self-defense, so it'll still be in his hand when they move the body. All Criston has to say is that Joff pulled a knife first, and he had to stop him from hurting someone. With Alicent to back him up, he can easily get away with saying he was just doing his job. Rhaenyra and Laenor can't really argue Criston's true motives without risking outing themselves.
Doubt Rhaenyra would want him to die now
Also he just removed a big headache for Corlys aswell. So he will probably just sweep the whole thing under the rug.
Besides the amazing plot points I could just not get over the AMAZING costumes, this episode. I LOVE Rheanyra's travelling coat. The Velaryons looked as if they were styled by Donatella Versace. Leanor needs a new wigologist. Still looks like a mop to me.
Y’all, I know they are uncle/niece and everything, but the chemistry between Dameon and Rhaenyra is so freaking good. The performance in that ‘if you want me, just take me‘ scene was amazing. I can’t be the only one who wants to see this uncle and his niece and run away together. 😂
Ser Criston really lost his mind with his proposal to run away
Exactly
I completely lost all respect for Criston, what a disappointment. I thought he was an honorable, grown ass man but turns out he’s a bitter, weak, self-centered child.
Seeking redemption by asking her to marry him or to alleviate his guilt?
It was stupid of him to believe Rhaenyra would run off and live with no name especially after only one night with him. I mean he’s the King’s guard for christs sakes, surely he knew she wudn’t just run off with him like that. Even if he didn’t agree with her he shud’ve understood. Instead of storming off, snitching on Rhaenyra, beating an innocent man’s face off, and then attempting suicide all because his ego was bruised.
If he was truly in love he wouldn’t have revealed their secret.
Even tho she declined his offer, he would’ve still protected her. That’s his sworn duty smh
But he cudn’t even wait until Allicent finished questioning before he spilled the beans
Nahhhh Criston the OG.
I agree with you. I think it was a tough situation for him, but he should have kept the secret. Yes, Rhaenyra made a bad decision. But he was also her protector, as you say, and he focused on his own shame rather than the potential fall out. That said, I will reiterate, he was put in a very bad position by Rhaenyra.
@@e.h.4933 What fallout would there have been for her? At the worse she would've been disinherited, but still would've been living in luxury, but most likely Viserys still wouldn't have done anything to her, because he's weak. For him he would've been tortured and killed.
So it's okay that she used her position to take advantage of him? He didn't want to have sex with her, but she basically put him in a position where if he didn't go along with it she could lied on him to have him killed.
Totally agree. His behavior was so painfully irrational and out of control.
Laenors bf dying was sad 😭Rest In Peace joffrey
We need a funeral !
He got way too big for his britches when he saddled up to Crispin and basically said Hey yeah I know what happened so I'm gonna hold it over your head... we cool??? And Crispen basically said...nah we aint cool...
@@roriemarie2968 None of that justifies Criston killing him so violently in public. At all.
Crispin the bigot??? 🤨🤨
@@lucasgomes9426 Definitely leaning towards that conclusion.
“Take your walk and paper, collect your unemployment and GOO serr” LMFAO 🤣 . Just cold!
I saw the Rhaenys/Corlys scene a cool parallel to the Ned/Cat scene when Cat insisted on Ned going south for justice and their family, with similar outcomes unfortunately
It’s funny but based on club foot spewing poison into Allicents ear, I think that it was Otto who sent the princess the tea. Remember how close Otto and the Maestor are in earlier episodes. It would make sense to make the princess think that her father didn’t believe her and also to make Allicent think that she was lied to. LittleFinger at his best ….
All bad things trace back to Otto omgggg
Daemon was sitting down when Alicent came in like "dis bitch". 😂
So when Otto plays with other people's lives he's bad, but when Rhaenyra does it to Criston Cole it's no problem? I'm not understanding the double standards here.
Rhaenyra is clearly a terrible person, using her power and position to goad Criston Cole, who is in a subordinate position, into sex even though he clearly was uncomfortable with breaking his vows. A clear MeToo-style violation of another person.
Then when Criston desperately tries to save his honor by asking her to marry him, she explains that she just wants to use him as man meat and couldn't care less about his honor or anything he cared about.
Rhaenyra is acting remarkably callous with Cole, using him as an object to satisfy her sexual urges instead of treating him like a person, and she literally doesn't even seem to care when Criston explained how his position and Kingsguard vows were his entire identity to him, like a spoiled princess who doesn't understand that people who rank below her have lives and feelings too.
It's no wonder Criston breaks down completely throughout this episode, poor guy. They did a great job making his actions in this series understandable, the show is great.
Facts bruh
I dislike both of them tbh.
At this point when iy comes to the show. Both parties are terrible, in the books it's easier to take Rhaeyna side, because Alicent is literally Cersi. I will say the show is probably closer to Martin's vison of this time. I'm be honest I'm team green. I don't like them, but Rhaeyna and Deamon are making it very hard for me to root for them, considering their past decisions, especially Deamon.
I was so excited to hear Gray talk about Crispin's descent into insanity and it did not disappoint. Go to hell Crispin!
his name is Criston lmao
Crispin is acting like a lovesick puppy! First to even make such a proposal to Rhaenyra and then to sulk when she turns him down. I'm still confused as to how Joffrey decided Crispin is Rhaenyra 's lover.
Seems royal weddings in Westeros are dangerous attend; blood is sure to flow.
Just love Daemon's best scenes; he doesn't speak. Not one spoken when he went after the Pirate and again when he met his wife. Think he would have walked away and left her if she hadn't taunted him.
@@lionizemusic1 I know right I noticed that. Why they keep saying Crispin? Thank you I thought I was going crazy and I was the only one who noticed. Its Criston People! I remember it cause its my cousins name except she's female.
I guess Criston Cole Has an incel Misogynist mentality.
@@mal1cen1derland63 It is a joke Grey is mocking him.
Finally, someone that hates Criston Cole because he is one of the most fucked up people in this story. Thank you, GrayArea! When I see others crying over this lump of shit, it drives me nuts. If he expected her as the heir of the Iron Throne to just leave everything and run with him to eat oranges in Essos, that means the guy is delusional and an idiot. He's like: Ohh she doesn't want to run with me, so instead I'll just be an idiot that decides to put her in danger by confessing this to Alicent and also to kill a guy just because he found out my soiled secret. Hobart Hightower sitting there and be like: "Oldtown is with you". Loyalty and oaths mean nothing to these fuckers. The Hightowers can burn in hell. Also, if you're named Joffrey, don't go to any weddings in Westeros😂
Someone said Ser Criston is one of those guys who is a 10/10 then he starts talking and he drops to a 1/10.
JUICE TIME!!!!!
"Boy, if you don't get the entire fuck outta my face... 🤨🙄😒" - my new favorite saying ever! 😂😂😂😂😂 This video was perfect, as usual. Can't wait for DWC tonight!
Chemistry or not, the incest just makes the Targaryens look like pretentious hillbillies. I'm judging. Sir Criston seemed like he had a better grasp of reality before this episode. He was acting like a child who just read twilight. Ending himself would've made sense, but I guess he's a part of the games that will be played.
Crispin will be a terrible tool for sure. He's been insulted like a one-legged wh0re in the dirtiest brothel by her drunk customers.
The book version of events was infinitely better
@@Captain_Insano_nomercy that's what I've heard.
Nah Rhaeyna is selfish alway been
Crispy Creme was all in his feelings. He should have known RhaeRhae would not have run off with him. He's a cute snitch, but a snitch nonetheless!
Rhaenyra is a horrible person who ruined his life and everything he ever had because she wanted to use him as her whore. Poor guy didn't realize that and now learned it the hard way.
It’s honestly so disappointing to see how so many are reducing Alicent’s actions to jealousy. It’s just so reductive. Jealous of what? She’s queen and no one is ever going to challenge that. She’s jealous because Rhaenyra had sex with a man who turned on her the first chance he got? Please! Are we seriously acting like she couldn’t find someone else to have sex with if she wanted? Alicent has done nothing but support Rhaenyra to this point, went up for her every chance she got and Rhaenyra lied to her on her mother’s grave. Rhaenyra had her reasons for lying but it’s absolutely fair that Alicent no longer believes she can trust Rhaenyra and needs to protect herself and her son.
Exactly. Not saying this show has the deepest writing, but its viewers are modern day people who don't get it. Another thing, it wasn't just Criston simping out because his feelings were hurt, he realized that this honor code by which he religiously lives his life, and for which he would give his own life protecting the nobles who are his superiors, is all bullshit in the lives of the nobles -Joffrey was the last straw that made him see how fake and corrupted the nobles live. Even Alicent sparing his life after he confesses is seen as dishonorable, the code dictates that she has to punish him, but she decides to just let him keep going on as if nothing and she will keep that secret for herself. Alicent sparing him made her less in his mind
This actually one of the few things I don't enjoy about these reviews. Gray offers so much nuance for characters she likes, but doesn't do the same for other characters. Are we going to act like that Ser Criptin problem isn't partly her fault? We would not be saying these same things, if Rhaeyna was a male and Crispin waa female. There so many things in this series Rhaeyna and Deamon have done wrong, yet they are excused for it. Books and the show are pretty much different now. In the show Deamon and Rhaeyna are kinda dick heads. Like this show got me rooting for the greens, and I don't even like them.
She lied too as well let’s not forget this. She may not be jealous but she is a lier.
@@crimsonking7179 that what I do not like about the show. The Green are portrayed a saint. Why the need to change Alicent to this extent?
@@gokuson2778 I wouldn't say saints, but they are definitely alot more tone down, atleast right now. While I kinda of like the changes because both sides have merit now. At the same time, they made Rhaeyna and Deamon selfish dickhead
This season just keep getting better and better! And as it goes on, I’m shockingly becoming more and more team green! I just love the scene with Alicent and Sir Otto. The writers have done an amazing job making Alicent very sympathetic.
Spoiler alert:
Crispins Arc makes sense when you see why he was so staunchly in support of the greens later on. Looks like alicent gave him a second life and he owes everything from hereon to her.
Yes, he will turn into Alicent's loyal hound. But Laenor will become Rhaenyra's best buddy.
Give more space between your spoiler warning and the actual spoiler. As it is now I didn't have time or room to avoid the spoiler.
@@darriuscole8544 since we're talking about one of your ancestors, it's better if you know😉
@@mortalkomment8028 true. Also an able dragon rider is better than an emo kingsguard.
@@TheKingoncrack He doesn’t look “emo” at all
He manipulated the king into marrying his daughter lol. That speaks volumes about how unfit the king is. Terrible decision making
Why? He had to marry someone. And no matter who he would choose, you could say the family of that girl manipulated the king into marrying her.
@@frankvandorp2059 Her father was the King’s Hand. Viserys should have either dismissed Otto upon his decision to marry his daughter or ask Otto to have Alicent married off to another Lord and then marry someone more practical. Because what Viserys did instead was to let Otto keep his power and influence over the realm and with him on the professional side, while giving Otto influence over him with matters closer to the heart through the Hand’s daughter which could also affect the King’s decision making process as it relates to the Realm, as well as giving Otto’s future grandson the keys to the Realm that he, Otto, would have influence over both through his daughter, and as he would hope, through him not just for being his grandfather, but for being the Hand of the King. (If that sentence made any sense. )
By keeping Otto around while being married to his daughter through which he hoped to have a son with, Viserys might as well behave just handed his crown to Otto.
Well he was grieving and vulnerable. Not to mention he was feeling the pressure to marry someone right away. The only other choice would’ve been his 12-year-old cousin… I’m glad he had the moral sense not to choose that one! He chose the one he felt comfortable with. That being said, I do wish he had waited and had faith in the fact that he had an heir, and focused on building her and nurturing her for the throne. Having a sibling from a second marriage weakened Rhaenyra’s position.
@@eds1942 I love your analysis. In court there must always be a balance of power or power should be biased towards the heir. Rhaenyra should have never gone to Dragonstone. Her being away from Kings Landing gave the Greens momentum.
I have been making the rounds checking out all the analysis. Wow, I love your take on Alicent and Criston, I am fascinated by your insight. Thank you so much.
That was so absolutely fantastic work GreyArea I must always watch and listen to your episode coverage after ive watch it on binge. This episode made me cry so much but there part when sir Cristen Cole nearly ended himself almost ended me too :( im very sad but so happy to be watching more HOTD. Cheers and thankyou again GreyArea you watch HOTD more enjoyable.
I feel THEY ADDED the dead leaves in the court at Hightide as an extra FUCK YOU to the King. It would be petty and I am here for it.😂
Alicent is amazing. Rhaenyra created her own division with her poor judgement. Duty this and duty that then turns around and severely weakens her own claim. Her greatest duty is to ascend the iron throne. And you do that by having an overwhelming claim. And it’s going to get worse if they follow the books.
Also I call bs on breaking the status Quo being team black. Rhaenyra would not give daughters inheriting rights to marry the Dragon Seeds. Rules for me but not for thee. Hypocritical.
I'm sooo sorry I've been late to the "Sweet Summer Children," but I'm LIVING for and catching up on all your podcasts! Love your blunt and honest analytical skills
I appreciate your take on things with your episode breakdowns. People interpret episodes in their own way and like art they have different views on the same information. You are the most close to how I interpret the episodes and caught all the small details that I was catching and interested in.
Otto definitely in on it with the maesters because when he tells Alicent that the King will die...he is too certain...like he know the King gone die because he helping orchestrate it.
also HUGE credit to the entire cast and everyone involved in this project. Episode 6 honestly looks like a whole new show
Getting better and better...so many shows to look forward too..so many stories they can tell,.love it all yo...and thanks for always coming thru with bomb vidz ❤️🤙🏾🤙🏾❤️
Love your take on each episode! Thanks for the laughs. 😂
The Mage/Mastiff did basically say that it was the maesters who killed the dragons. Plus it wouldn't be the first time a maester let someone die.
Ahhhahhaahahaha "Spills the tea like Tikashe 69" -- dead 🤣🤣🤣 This is why I LOVE your channel. Keeping it real and using pop culture references to compare.
I watch a lot of HOTD episode breakdowns, and yours are my absolute favorites! 💜
I literally said to my mom that I just do not understand why Alicent so salty about all of this. Like, I do not understand what her big issue is.
She's jealous.
I still maintain Alicent was never concerned about her friend. I interpret her concern about Daemon and Rhaenyra is she feels threatened by their union and what it would mean for her children's safety and it was echoed by her father solidifying her fears. Criston confirming that Rhaenyra had slept with him also confirmed to Alicent that Rhaenyra has no issue taking on consorts and thus could have also done the deed with Daemon. It's been a slow and subtle burn to get her to the green dress.
So far I think her character arc is absolutely the best. I love seeing how she got to this point, and I gotta say I am pro green at this point
Your commentary is unmatched!!!!! Criston is just like Treyway 😂😂😂😭😭
GIRL!!!! I found you recently and can't get enough of your Videos.. your spin is out of this world. Congrats 👏 👏 👏
I LIVE for your reviews, sis. You have me cracking up at work. Keep up the amazing work!
Great breakdown young lady! We just have to say not only is the writing on point but man the acting is just phenomena.
On point and hilarious commentary.
Thanks for making me smile. The episodes continue to get better and better.Alicent seems to be resentful and jealous with her former BFF. That brutal beating in front of everybody and just walking away with no consequence was wild. Not very ‘honorable’
Wow, I am so glad I found your reviews - you are helping me put all of this together, and in an incredibly entertaining way! Thanks so much - looking forward to more. :)
You are Awesome was looking for your breakdown last night. I Love to hear you interpretation of the events.
Gray girllll I love ya! But I feel like we’re going in separate directions with the show portrayal of the Greens. Criston made it clear that while he does have feelings for Rhaenyra his proposal was about saving his honor. He’s upset bc he feels Rhaenyra robbed him of being honorable twice. And I find that understandable bc he said his cloak is all he has to his name. And now it’s soiled. Him becoming kingsguard is the most notable thing ever done by a member of house Cole and it’s understandable why defiling that would haunt him so much.
And as far as Black vs Green being about tradition vs progress I agree with that. But it’s progress for blacks only is what I’m picking up. Bc Rhaenyra is not Dany and she’s not on a mission of revolution. She’s like Daemon and she just wants to do whatever the fuck she wants bc she’s blood of the dragon. Which is fine but we can’t act like Alicent and the greens are some ultimate evil for opposing that and upholding tradition bc when you frame it that way they’re fighting for a higher cause than the blacks. This is my take as of ep 5 so please don’t roast me 😭😭😭.
Stawwwwp it! U know I love you and will respect your opinion always!!❤️❤️❤️
@@GrayArea Love you more❤️❤️❤️❤️
They're also setting up a righteous cause for both to want the throne:Alicent is protecting her children's lives and Rhaenyra is fulfilling a prophecy. Sounds familiar🤔😆
Crispy full of shit all the kings guards are heauxs
Facts. The blacks stans are really defending some straight up dirt bags with Daemon and Rhaenyra, that girl is hoeing around and kills people who say the obvious about her kids
Look. Anytime Daemon shows up somewhere, the Shit Pot is about to get stirred like whipping cream, so the fact he showed up to Rhae and Lae’s wedding feast uninvited oughta tell Viserys something’s fishy AF. Because fishy AF is the Rogue Prince way. Also, Lady Rhea was checking the surroundings for Caraxes when she realized WHO the hooded person was…my girl knew she was about to get got.
love how this was metaphorically a dance of dragons. Rhaenyra & Laenor then Daemon & Laena dancing.
Your commentary always has me in stitches! 💀🤣 I'd bring up specific points, but I'd have to go through the whole thing, as you're hilariously RIGHT through your entire breakdown! 🔥🩸
This episode was so messy! I love how social media wasn’t even a thought and all the gossip & tea traveled across the 7 kingdoms QUICKLY!
Those Ravens fly pretty fast
Great comment again Grey! Completely agree with sir Mellos theory. Something is going on with him and Otto I I got that feeling since episode 1 around Aemma's death scene. Let's see if we get some confirmation about it.
Looking forward for your next video.
I feel like us seeing grey rats everywhere is a clue
@@SCHRODINGERS_WHORE yes!! Fkin rats are on focus every episode. Or someone has a fixation with rats or there's some meaning behind it
I love your commentary, you are always spot on.
Love your colorful commentary, always puts a smile on my face
I think that Alicent saw Rhaenyra as her only ally in court and because she lied to her she feels completely alone.
Alicent has to completely trust Rhaenyra to have mercy and spare her and her children should she take the throne. Now that she can’t fully trust Rhaenyra, she probably feels like she has to take matters in her own hands. I don’t really think it’s about Alicent being “holier than thou”. I’m team Rhaenyra but Otto was right at the beginning of the episode so I can’t really hate Alicent for what she does as it’s really for survival.
There is a question on succession and I saw the promo for next weeks episode. I think Rhaenerya absolutely would put Alicents kids to death given the drama with her own marriage.
I'm team Alicent protecting her kids is her priority. Rhaenerya is a mess you know your a woman. You know there is a question on succession and your father has sons who look like him and your kids dont look like you or your husband. Gurl! Your a mess. She is a mess! Rhaenerya is a mess. Someone should really give her some advice.
Allies my ass, I mean the moment she married Vesyris and kept giving him male heirs as instructed by her father and uncle, it was setting up for a future war over succession_Sure she knows, she'sno naïve!
YES, but I will add something else: that’s exactly what Alicent and Criston have in common, they feel alone there, and for both of them losing Rhaenyra is literally losing everything. I’m sorry but there’s a class thing messing all these once beautiful relationships in the show.
But the situation was created by them. Otto pushed for Rhaenyra to be made heir, then he push Alicent to seduce the King. Otto put Alicent in harms way, harm created by himself. All this is going to cost Rhaenyra her life and the life of many of her children, why are we supposed to only feel sorry for Alicent side?
@@aileenpi73 Absolutely not, I very much believe that both of them are victims in this situation with a lot at stake. I was just highlighting another possible explanation for Alicent’s behaviour.
Tbh there is only one character that needs to be severely dragged and that is Otto and no one else.
Crispin folded so quick 🤣
Spot on assessment and commentary!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I agree with everything you said!😊
Dude lmao your commentary on the scene where Cole tries to get Rhaenyra run away with him was to die for. That was pretty much all my opinions spoken loudly and funny. Chef's kiss on your review I'm totally here for your episode reviews from here on out 🙌
This was another great episode. I wish they had extended this one for another 15-30 minutes to flesh somethings out such as Rhea Royce and the wedding but it was great.
Do you think there will be a cold opening to next weeks episode, like in Ep1, to describe the significant time jump that’s about to go down?? Loving these breakdowns by the way, keep up the fantastic work 🐉🐉🐉🔥🔥🔥
The way you talk is so awesome and is probably the main reason I tune in every week. Love you love you love you , warms regards from South Africa.
Could not wait for your breakdown, love it!!
100% agree that Alicent is jealous of Rhaenyra and pissy about her dad being fired. What I absolutely love about this show is that Emily’s acting makes me sympathetic for Alicent. She struggles this episode with where she’s supposed to stand and who she’s supposed to back (even though she chooses wrong 😒). I loved watching Alicent struggle and how I’m every scene we see her progression from someone we feel for and want to back to the green b****y queen we see in the books.
Another excellent episode in my opinion!!!!
I've never heard of this actress or seen her before I know she's young but man is she good
I don't think she's chosing the "wrong" side. She's choosing her own side, the side of her family and specially her children.
Actually I'm hating that the series is making me to take the side of the greens by now, cause I loved to hate Alicent in the books, specially when it's said that she hope Rhaenyra died in childbirth while they usurped her. But by now, Alicent had all the right to see for her children specially after Rhaenyra cynically lied to her, Alicent now knows that his father was fired for just telling the truth to the king about his daughter.
And let's be honest, watching the new trailer, Alicent saying that Rhaenyra having three bastard children as heirs for the throne is an insult IS FUCKING RIGHT!!!!
Wtf is wrong with Rhaenyra, she at least should have tried to have ONE with Laenor! Wtf!
Defending that same case it's what caused Ned to lose his head by the Lannisters!!!!
I get you l do ,my way of seeing it is that Alicents whole life and evil decisions later can't ride on "Rhaenyra lied about fucking her uncle" hence her heart was broken and bitterness seeped in .......Coz when we scale it so far she's been an accomplice to her father's lust for power which is treachery coz she knows.....let's not act like she thinks her father loves the realm and simply adores the king and wants nothing but the best for him ....she like everyone else knows that it's her house before all else ...why did she wear the green when she is now a part of the black and red family? Coz the agenda is family and then one's own skin .....say Rhaenyra had been like yup l fucked him then Alicent would have said/done what ? " I go to bed peacefully,my father is fired for something true but my friend will never lie to me ....bye bye dad ! Shes really not a liar!".......Otto wasn't fired for the rumour coz Viserys believed it , Otto was fired for his self serving bull__he didn't bring the news,he made it .If he just wanted to bring the bad news he would have even the messenger killed everything hush hush and then let the king mete out punishment.....he was trailing her , meaning he was waiting to trip her up meaning he knew she would and he wanted the first chance to? No u guessed wrong not protect...to destroy .
Then for the kids ......
Have you considered that Laenor maybe won't even touch her? It was her _Criston Cole_ who killed his lover....coz he even knew the lovers identity by then ....what is she to do if he won't touch her,he's not dying and she needs to solidify her position by having heirs ?.... honestly if l was in a bind like that__Alicent is birthing them by the year and lm heir with no kids what would l do? -tie up Laenor and rape him so the fandom, fujoshis and male rights activists trash me- thank you ,l'd rather she respected Laenors not wanting her and make wat she's got work ......
Sorry for the long rant.....BTW on your last statement,the one with the throne blood is Rhaenyra not Laenor.....her kids are Targaryen,not like Cerseis bastards from a house not sitting on the throne
@@returntosoilgumiho
I think we both have to agree on disagree.
I am not saying that Alicent is the best person ever, she also lied, but I can understand her position better. It's not a matter if she wants or not power, at this point for her and her children is a matter of survival just as Otto said. The realm will never accept Rhaenyra fully, specially having a male heir, so Rhaenyra could end up killing Alicent's children, no matter if she wants or not, specially if Daemon is her ally, now we can see he's capable of that and Otto knew that.
Now, even when we all know that Rhaenyra is the monarch and not Laenor, marriages are political alliances then, they are important. If that was not the case and Rhaenyra could make whatever she wants then she shouldn't have married anybody since that was her real desire, and passing any child as heir. It doesn't matter if they don't like to have sex with each other, the sad truth of their societies is that they MUST. It was not a matter of rape him, but to make a consensus about that issue. Actually I still can't believe that during all the Dance, Corlys wasn't saying a shit about those kids not being real Velaryons, what makes me believe that he's even worse than Otto, he wants the name of his family related to the Monarchy, even if those are not his grandchildren.
@@luciamota1249 ofcourse we must agree to disagree coz l will never agree😂.
Thank you for your long comment patiently explaining your pov_l just love having these "arguments" especially when the other person engages and actually explains
Firstly
1.Yeah Alicent is in a tough corner but that's the game they're playing,as far as we can see her dad isn't exactly threatening her life or abusing her in order to get his own ends . Yeah it hurts her but she never once thinks let me run away or kill myself coz I truly don't want a single part of this? Why coz like Rhaenyra she has the game within her and she _wants_ to play her part in a way.... so when the reason for her being right'er' is that she's just trying to protect her own well then l feel that she should have never had those own__should have faked her death and lived as a farm wife or something where she could do so,the true heir is named by the King . The king is Viserys and he chose Rhaenyra. The lords knelt before her ..... what is the actual reason that tradition should trump the sovereign or that a mothers worry should change succession? This isn't even a democracy or whatever (lack of proper descriptive gvt names) they bent the knee these people...Therefore her duty is to protect her own=the kingdom as well her knew family the Targaryens,She wants what's not hers to protect her kids but Rhaenyra wants what's hers to protect her family's power ,it's her right....since when is it fine that the King speaks and the people think " nah this is shit we don't want that?" Let's just protect ourselves.....__
2. Alicent only wants what's best for her kids but do we consider that what's best for them is a powerful united family? Alicents infighting makes it more like those kids are hightower with parts of Targaryen in their ancestry.....when the Lords watch and see this dragon of a house tearing it's wings to feed it's legs what do they think ? The gods?! They're powerful it looks like disunity but nevermind let's just be obidient good subjects ? She had other options like faking Aegons death , marrying Healena off to a powerful family chop chop and marrying her last born to Rhaenyras first.....hear me out😂,if she believed Aegon would be a powerful ruler then she would have given him the time to grow in secret, maybe slowly offed Rhaenyra or poisoned her so she wouldn't get pregnant and then when Aegon was older ,wiser and more accomplished then she would have even silently killed the unsuspecting Rhaenyra and made it seem like it was natural....that way the Realm doesn't see their dirty laundry and take advantage,as it is Rhaenyra has seen more life and politicking than Aegon 2,The boy himself is constantly being told he will be King__ there's no lust for the throne no resolve he's doing it to survive and he's viewing the older members of his family__ the actual full blooded ones as his enemies. Alicent made him a plucked chicken dragon with a wife of a sister and a brother who dies......mind Rhaenyra isn't innocent either but the throne was hers and Alicents pre emptive moved are treachery...why avoid something that hasn't even happened? Maybe if Rhaenyra had tried to kill Aegon from birth would l be like she pushed her ....come on ,push comes to shove with Rhaenyra not making any moves she could have conspired until she won to get Aegon to marry Rhaenyra and then we see from there.
The throne was Rhaenyras,it's they're familys throne it's their decision,if her dad said Rhaenyra step down and she didn't that would be diff_he didn't
My two points are that the "protecting" Alicent is doing is not really for the best of the Targaryen in those boys,it's for her and her family's best ,yeah she wants to see them live as their mamma but in the end it's not even about them...it's just her
I haven’t been able to get into this new show. I was obsessed with the original show and always watched your commentary! Your extensive knowledge of all the background stories and mythology was so captivating. I wanted there to be so much more resolution to the show’s finale. HBO should have hired you to help! They still should!!!
This show is awesome, I'm super impressed what they've been able to do even with the high standards that the original show set. Well, I guess the last season did help to lower the expectations a bit but still😄
This isn’t the finale though
The way u broke down that relationship between Alison and Rhaynerah! Baby....straight on point and just love ur delivery 🤣🤣🤣🤣💪🏾
LOVE that I've discovered you! I've been going back and watching your GOT vids. Gurl,🔥
How did Daemon get to the Eyrie? Must have been by dragon. So everyone up there will know he’s there. Not a coincidence that his wife dies while he’s there. Why isn’t there an outcry?
Why do you think Gerald Royce was upset. She was with him and he probably saw caraxes
Alicent, gets no sympathy from me, at all!!! She's been somewhat miserable since the first episode when they were outside reading the book. When her father sent her into the king's chambers on the same night that the queen died, she didn't run to Rhenyra and tell her a thing. She knew her father was scheming, and she was as well. Alicent is jealous of Rhenyra. She kind of comes off as a jealous ex-lover. She's also jealous that Rhenyra has her pick of whomever she wants while Alicent has to lay with someone who is 70 plus and losing body parts. Alicent's feelings being hurt is hypocritical. Alicent, hates her own life and hates that she didn't stand up to her own father, IMO. She's envious of everything Rhenyra has, does and gets away with as princess and heir.
Viserys is in his late 30’s/Early 40’s, he’s dying of leprosy but he isn’t old
Alicent although naive, The fact that she didn't tell Rhenyra about what she was doing with her dad. Shady AF
love your comments and analysis... thanks for your timely reality checks for Westerosi 🥰💋💥
This channel is the truth. You got me over here talking to the tv like we're in the same room. Thank you for your words.
Alicent's wounded act at the firing of her father is so irritating. She knows he was manipulating her and Viserys to get them married. Rhaenyra should be like, "Sorry your Dad got fired later than he should have." I was slightly worried they were going to give us a milder version of Criston, but was glad to see the full psycho that he is show itself in this episode.
Her dad got fired for telling the King the truth and Rhaenyra lied to her to get her on her side. It isn't an act. She feels betrayed by Rhaenyra, because she was. I know no one from 'Team Black' wants to see it, but this episode exposed that Rhaenyra has a lot of Daemon's 'I don't care what happens to others so long as I get mine' attitude to her.
@@hardybryan Nope. Viserys knows it was true. He got fired because Viserys realised he was too ambitious and would ruin Rhaenyra so the little boy can rule. Alicent should really only blame her dad, he did too much.
@@rai2423 Her father told the king the truth. I guess that's too much. Rhaenyra lied to her face and then told her father to send Otto away. I'm sure most women would just get over that and blame their father. Sure.
@@rai2423 As much as I hate Otto he was simply doing his job there. In fact he was even hesitant to bring that up. Otto wasn't even spying on her actively . It was Daemon who made sure Rhaneyra was seen in the pleasure house.
@@rai2423 Doesn’t change the fact that Rhaenyra lied to Alicent’s face
As much as crispin annoyed me in this episode in a tragic way if Rhae had actually taken him up on that offer she would’ve probably had a less horrifying life. (For those who have read the books).
I don't think so. They would have looked for her, the Targaryen and Velaryon houses would hunt them down and definitely find them. The Velaryon's are too powerful and well connected in Essos there would have been nowhere for these two to hide for long. Crispin would have been executed for absconding with the princess. Rhaenyra may have been punished to become a septa or something.
No, she would've been killed by spies or something that. It was tone deaf and ridiculous for him the suggest they could simply run away together.
She would have been causing a massive rebellion just as Rhaegar did 170 years later... Velaryons will be offended and immediatly Hightowers will look for a way to top everyone else in that Council.
She will live hiding and escaping unsuccesfully cause her dragon will never abandon her thus she'll be very easy to find.
Omg! I love it. I love your breakdowns. Keep up the great work. See you on Direwolf city!
I love you Gray, you give the best takes and serve the best tea 👌🏻
