Daemon will not be pissed. Cheese asked him “what if we can’t find him?” Daemon made a face and the scene cut. And Blood said in the room ‘A son for a son, he said!” Daemon told them that. 😏
Rhaenyra will be pissed though. She wanted Aemond, not Aegon's son.
That's what I think too. Supposedly, there's an interview with the creator that says otherwise. Idk. If that wasn't the intention, then the writing is really confusing.
Yea a son for a son meaning alicents sons why would he tell them to kill a child instead of a dragon rider he also told them no head no gold. And the show director said blood and cheese acted on their own by killing the child
@@Koko-gp6vnI think people are confused because of how different this whole situation was in the books. Seems like the writers are trying to make daemon and rhaenyra morally better characters in the show.
They’ve been doing it for a while now. They made the green side incompetent too. Daemon can murder his wife and all he gets is a 2 second scene going “lol sorry” and everyone loves him.
🐀🧀Blood and Cheese actions are the reason there are no rat catchers in King’s Landing, cats were brought in to control the rodent population, which is why you see Arya chasing cats when she was being trained by Syrio Forel.
Wow, everything is connected. Thanks for the information.
Syrax wasn’t just feeling Rhaenyras pain, Arrax was an egg from Syrax. So it was two mothers mourning their children.
THIS WAS SO SAD!!!!!! 😭😭😭
@@RasmaRoseProbably not true even though it sounds nice.
Dragons aren’t shown to be very maternal to their offsprings. They also have the strongest bonds with their human riders, so strong that if the rider wishes, the dragon would kill their offspring or parent. Therefore, it’s much more likely that Syrax was feeling Rheanyra’s pain, not mourning the dead dragon.
But this is not too important so imagine what entertains you more.
@@rexibhazoboa7097the Dragons absolutely know friend from foe, and recognize their off springs. The rider is just more important to the dragons.
@@decariusb71 Dont pay him any mind. He's going around to literally every episode 1 reaction looking for this comment from people pointing out the dragons were also related and then injecting his "I READ THE BOOKS!" superiority on people.
Criston Cole was supposed to be on duty that night. Otto hightower said it in that meeting. so criston and allicent are complicit in their negligence.
Criston is definitely to blame. Apart from the culprits of course.
@@rexibhazoboa7097to be fair... Aegon has no kings guard protecting Helaena and the children. He’s just as negligent.
Smh... team Black blaming the Greens for everything as usual. Blood & Cheese and Daemon are responsible! (and Rhaenyra in the books)
That scene with Rhaenyra and Jacaerys was beautifully acted, hit me right in the feels.
Both must be feeling so guilty. It was Jace's idea for he and Luke to go personally instead of sending ravens and Rhaenya's idea to send Luke to Storm's End. That was very well acted.
Jace’s voice cracking got me. The actor who plays him is outstanding
All the Rhaenyra looking for Luke scenes and yes, of course, Jace returning to Dragonstone, to his Queen, his mom and trying to be the eldest son. 😢
12:07 Syrax's cry hit even harder when you know that it's widely believed that Vermax, Arrax and Tyraxes (the dragons of Rhaenyr's 3 oldest sons) were born from eggs laid by Syrax. So, when Rhaenyra is grieving over the remains on the beach, Syrax is also mourning the loss of her own offspring. So damn sad.
😅 GUYS WHY WOULD Daemon be mad?? He's BEEN WANTING them ALL dead from the beginning did you forget???
Honestly I have a feeling Tom Glynn-Carney is going to be the MVP of the season, his performance as Aegon II in the first episode is already top-notch. Everyone thought he was going to be Joffrey 2.0 but he's not, their are layers to his character. I really loved the court petitions scene in the throne room you could tell he wants to be liked by the smallfolk but still doesn't know how to be "king" because he was never regarded as the "heir" or trained by Viserys but still he was trying. Every scene of Aegon II in the episode was really interesting. You could tell the showrunners and writers really want to explore this character more and Tom looks like he's having fun playing him. Can't wait to see his reaction when he finds out Jaehaerys is dead, Bring on episode 2.
I cant remember where his story goes in the book, its been forever, but Im on board with whatever he does, as long as its Tom doing it, the guys a _delight_ to watch. Im Team Aegon, screw the rest.
im team black but excited to see aegon this season, tom is too good to hate
I agree, can’t wait to see Tom act it out next episode
@@bloodyneptune Wow Team Green would really rather have a usurper on the throne who likes raping his maids and watching children fight to the death. He's literally doing the bare minimum this episode. Aemond literally kills Rhaenyra's son due to his complete stupidity and y'all still worship him and his brother...I want whatever drugs you guys are taking lmao
@@skedda2861 Aegon's dragon eats Rhaenyra is 6 bites in the end . Cant wait😁
The queen earlier told Aegon that she was Afraid of the Rats and later on Blood and Cheese came for her son pretending to be Rat Catchers
Cheese is a rat catcher.
people forget that, this man daemon, went in to that crabfeeder's land waving white cloth and later on cut the crabfeeder in half.
man who also cut someone's head but let him keep his tongue 😂
same man who also stole his brother's son's cradle dragon egg.
same guy who also killed his wife 😂
i am no in shape to believe that daemon would even care 1cent 😂
Yes, he technically killed his wife but we do not know if his intent was to go there to kill her or if he would have done it had she not fallen off the horse, been paralyzed and told him "I knew you couldn't finish."
@@that.ll_do_pigA lot of people would think your point is superfluous, but I agree with you 100%
*This Creston Cole guy is so weird. He’s so angry of Rhaenyra, and never seems to get over his anger, for **_ruining_** his white cloak, yet here he is, doing horizontal works, sometimes under, for Alicent.*
Those two killers are surely going to meet horrble deaths but can you imagine if those two idiots actually did run into Aemond and Criston?
Daemon probably told em that if they can't find Aemond, to just get Aegons son instead. The ratcatcher asked him "what if I cant find em?". And the assassin later said "he said son for a son". So I highly doubt they'd just randomly kill royals that nobody was paying them for. Now maybe Rheanyra will be mad at Daemon, or maybe Daemon will just deny it. Who knows.
No I bet he told them " a son for a son no head no gold" so aegon was probably the second choice since he's the king(and alicents son like aemond) but they not likely gonna be able to get close to him or he will be guarded. Why would daemon tell them to kill a child instead of a actual threat when his whole reason for wanting aemond was revenge and to get vhagar out of the war like he told rhaenys at the beginning of the episode. Aegon was probably the other choic since he's actually a threat
@@Koko-gp6vn we really thinkin Daemon wouldn't have a kid killed to just emotionally hurt Aegon who stole the throne from his wife, and Aemond who killed his wifes son..........OK, if people think that, thats fine i guess.
Supposedly the director said in an interview that Daemon did not tell them to do that. 🤷♀️ @@mathmexican4234
@@mathmexican4234 We all have our opinions but I doubt daemon would do that since he himself lost 2 children before they were even born. Also the show director said blood and cheese acted on their own killing the child
@@Koko-gp6vndaemon would absolutely do that. He definetly told him to get aegons son if they can’t find aemond.
Congratulations and Good luck with the new job, Madison! 👍🏾
Emma D’Arcy was amazing in this episode and only spoke one line of dialogue: “I want Aemond Targaryen!” Clap 👏
The way it was shot aswell with the music playing in the background as she goes to the head of the painted table really added to that moment.
The shots, her acting, ED brought a side of Rhaenyra to the screen, showing her a light in the midst of the darkness surrounding her.
I _knew_ Helena would be fine and I was still anxious the whole time she was running for help. Just the way its shot feels like shes being _followed_ by the camera as if its what she's trying to get away from, so it feels like the danger is still on her heels because the camera is. And the shots feel claustrophobic, like they could pop out from behind her at any second. _Fantastically_ shot scene
I LOVE that you reacts to the inside of the episodes, no one does it and it cool to finally see it. Love you guys
I honestly didn’t feel anything during blood and cheese. It was disturbing but we don’t have an attachment to that character like we did with Luke. We had no time with him
It's still a kid getting his head sliced off though, I didn't need to know him as a character for that to affect me.
So you have to have an attachment to a child to feel sad of their death? What a weird thing to say.
on the contrary daemon would be delighted since this will guarantee war.
The murder of Prince Jaehaerys was even more horrific in the book. I'm glad they dialed it back for the show. A lot of folks are pissed about the scene being "ruined" or "watered down" or whatever. But honestly, why do we need it to be any more graphic than it already was? Some people are just messed. lol
Same here. I was ok with the change.
Yeah I was fine with the change, I don’t need to see a baby murdered. Just the sound was disturbing enough
it's not that we want to see a child get killed. it's not having helaena choose who gets killed as well as Alicent not being there that we were mad about. Also blood and cheese seemed dumb in the show compared to the books. it's not messed up to want a more book accurate scene. With that being said I'm glad the killing was off screen
@@eatatmoes86I wanted alicent to
Be in that scene. Blood and cheese seemed like idiots in the show compared to the book
Congratulations on the new job, Madison! Safe Travels and Good Luck! Great to see you and Christian again reacting to HOUSE OF THE DRAGON!
Daemond told them to do that. When they asked what if we can't find him and he smirked and camera cut away. Later in the room blood says he(Daemond) said a son for a son
I want Aemond Targaryen.
Ayy congrats Madison!
26th to watch 😋❤️
The man asked, what if we can't find Aemond and Daemon smirked! He obviously answered if you can't find the former King's son kill the present King's son! 👍👍😉😉👱♀👱♀👗👗👠👠❤❤ And Criston was supposed to be on guard duty instead of with Allicent!
“Is that the Cristin Cole guy?” Why yes Madison… it surely was 😂!
Luke's dragon Arrax was hacthed from an egg laid by Rhaenryras dragon,that's why it's sad. They both lost a child.
I find it so ironic that Viserys obsessed so much over having a dreamer in the family, and now one of his own children is dropping prophecies, and nobody's aware enough to decipher them.😂
I was left a bit underwhelmed by blood and cheese. I'm glad the killing was off screen, but the changes that were made I wasn't a fan of. In the book cheese knew all of Maegor's tunnels, but in the show for some reason they go through the throne room.
I hope this obsessional revenge on Aemond doesn’t make Rhaenyra reckless, which it probably will. Congrats and good luck with your new job Madison!
I honestly hope we get a more book accurate Rhaenera to where she is a bit more reckless
I love that you do the behind the episode bit because it gives more context as to what happened and how the characters and feeling and thinking and it’s good to see those bits :)
Something the writers can try is integrating said context into the episodes themself.
An example would be Aegon and his father’s negligence. That would’ve been very easy to do throughout the second half of season 1. That way, people would understand Aegon more instead of just assuming Joffrey 2.0
@@rexibhazoboa7097 I feel like they did when Alicent slaps him and he says “I try so hard but it’s never enough for you or father” or when she’s taking him to be coronated and he doesn’t believe his father named him heir and says “he didn’t like me” also at the end when Vizzy T is dying he tells Rhaenyra “my only child” but yea I guess it’s hard to incorporate everything in 10 episodes
This shows the hypocrisy of Cole and Allison her pendant. She wears around her neck, stands for dignity, decency and purity, and he puts on his white cloak after they have sex. She was judging rhaenyra so harshly for hooking up for him but now she does this not only on occasion but very often.
I believe Ser Cristian Cole should have been guarding the queen.
Afraid not of dragons but of rats. That not just fantasy that’s real life stuff. Do be afraid of the person who comes at you straight beware the person who sneaks and stabs you while you sleep or are unaware.
The murder of the child was way worse in the book. They held her 2 sons at knife point forced Helena to choose which son would die, with her begging them to kill her instead. She chose the younger son but the older boy was killed instead. The guards found Helena clutching her sons headless body
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽 también reacciono a esta serie ❤
P.S. Rhaenyra's dragon is also mother of Lucerios dragon..
Syrax rhae's dragon also cried out with her not only because of the bond they have but because Luke's dragon was her baby so it's two mothers mourning their babies on the beach it's so sad
Daemon didn't tell them to kill the child he probably told them a son for a son meaning one of alicents sons( she has 3) and the show director stated blood and chees acted on their own killing the child
The reason the dragon is so sad is that it's also her son dead before her...
Both mothers are grieving for Thier son's.
It gets so much worse.
Nice of you to react to the Inside the Episode. Keep it up.
Sir criston Cole #queenslayer
It's back baby! You know its going to be a good month when HoTD and The Boys are running side by side :D Great react as always guys and congrats on the new job, Madison. Can't wait for the next episode :)
22:17 - Would've been a much darker scene if Tweedledum didn't sound like Bleacher from Wonka. Maybe if Alicent wasn't playing "hide the dragon" the security....
you know this is nothing to do with the episode but i love how wholesome and genuine you both feel on this channel, its something i cant find on basically any other channel and its great to see.
It's interesting that Jace tjinks King Torren Statk bent the knee because he believed in the conqueror rather than to save his people from being burned alive by dragons 🔥
Note that Syrax is also a grieving mother. Arrax (Lucaerys's dragon) hatched from one of Syrax's eggs.
1:00 HOD Opening: The tapestry of Targaryen history.
Ancient valyrians practicing magic
Daenys dream of the fall
The fall of Valyria
Aegon and his sisters flying over Westeros
Harren the black
Conquest of Harrenhal and the Field of Fire
The North, The Riverlands and The Eyrie bending the knee without a fight
House Targaryen established as the Rulers of Westeros
The construction of the Red Keep
The death of Maegor the Cruel
King Jahaerys the Conciliator and Queen Alysanne
Old King Jahaerys at the Great Council of Harrenhal (Viserys I nomination to the Iron Throne)
The court of Viserys I split between Alicent and Rhaenyra
Aegon II vs Rhaenyra I
Lucerys death.
Not only is Syrax feeling Rhaenyras emotions, but shes also grieving as Arrax(Lukes dragon) was also born from one of her eggs. Two mothers grieving together for their sons.
I hope you postpone Demon Slayer’s reaction until she came back, because the last 2 episode gonna be so peak and I want both of you react to it together. Take your time as long as y’all needs 🤍
I love that you guys watch the inside the episode. Please continue doing that.
So you asked in that first Helaena scene "I wonder what she's saying?" and I am so sorry to tell you that she said "they only want the boy", and looked directly at Jaehaerys' crib. She knew, poor girl
Cole should've been on guard....
He'll get away with this crime, like he always does.
You guys misunderstand the encounter between Luke and Aemond. It was one of chance no one planned for them to be at the same place at the same time
In their defense, it was only during editing of my own video that I realized Daemon gave Cheese "a look" when the latter asked him what if they can't find Aemond.
I want to know where all the fucking guards were excuse my language.
The wall was imbued with magic hence why the dragons would not cross it
Well cheese did ask just before they parted ways from daemon what do we do if we can't find aemond but the scene ends in silence after cheese asked. Then blood is guard guy went with getting a son for a son.
Daemon told them to kill one of the kids if they couldn’t get Aemond. Deamon is a monster.
The only thing this episode reminds me, there are villains on both sides. Daemon is a monster.
I like that you guys watch the inside the episode
Y’all’s reactions are always on point worth the wait! ❤
Helaena is the only green that I like I feel so bad for her loosing her baby boy.
The dog is used to hunt t rats the guy is a rat catcher.....
Kudos for including the wrap up!!!
Congrats on the new job Madison!
The sound of them sawing the boys head off😢😮
I’m downloading the game again😱
This is an excellent show, I love it.
Daemond order it! He trash 🗑️
Daemon asked for a son for a son.
Congratulations on your new job x
Finally!!!! Been waiting all week for y'all!!
New subscriber. Really enjoyed this episode. Look forward to future reaction vids. 🐉
Yay!!! finally
Great reaction and good to see you both back. Loved the episode especially with Jace and Rhaenyra . Good luck with your new job Madison.
Episode 2?
12:10 wrong 😭😭😭😡😡😭😭😭rhaenyras dragon is sad because she is mourning her own child……..prince lucerys dragon is the child of rhaenyras dragon……. 😭😭😭😭😭even if her dragon is feeding off her sad emotions ,they are nothing compared to her own motherly pain …
everyone thinks this opening is orignal but they did this for a show called Motherland: Fort Salem. its also a pretty good show.
Tapestry in film has been done way before even that
@@bluegypsy71 it's just the only one I've seen is all
I’m glad to see ya again on house of the dragon
Reaction channels usually have patreon to help supplement income, just a lil suggestion
We had one but the bonus video obligations were actually causing us to fall behind on our main channel, so we made the decision to end the patreon and focus on the channel. We just have less time to work since the birth of our son.
FIRSTTT!
Most are siding with the Blacks partly because Daemon is such a chaotic & charismatic badass & Rhaenyra has her redeeming qualities. However, they conveniently overlook that Rhaenyra set up some of her kids for trauma & failure due to dubious paternity issues. Also, Rhaenyra & Daemon murdered an innocent man so they could fake Laenor’s death which was awful to do to the Valeryon’s as they believed he was really dead. The Blacks aren’t angels but people conveniently overlook their transgressions. Also Rhaenyra held animus toward Alicent for marrying her father but didn’t hold her father accountable as it was mostly his choice. That’s just some of the Black’s questionable actions.
Viserys was a good man but his bad choices & ineffectual nature allowed the rift to develop in his family. He basically set up the Dance of the Dragons. The Greens didn’t intentionally do a lot of the bad acts against the Blacks. Alicent thought Viserys wanted Aegon as heir at the end & Aemond didn’t mean to kill his nephew however if you play with fire don’t expect not to get burned. I think many Black supporters are going to rethink their positions after Ep 1.
This whole Targaryen Civil War is just a sad & tragic clusterduck. I get the motivations of both sides but there is no clear side to support here. In the end I think it will be a tragedy & trauma for all involved. They could have reconciled & strengthen their dynasty but due to base impulses like revenge they opt for chaos. If they all got along it’d be a boring story but the reality is that this is just a horrible civil war where nobody wins in the end I presume.
I haven’t wanted your reaction yet but I’m sure it’s going to be good as always. I bet Christian is going to be shocked & Madison is going to be an emotional wreck at the end. This was a good episode but it was a gut punch too. Whoever you support in this, it doesn’t matter because everyone will feel ill at the actions that happen at the end🫤😵😵💫😵
I just hope they make it more obvious as time goes on that the blacks have flaws too
Rhaenyra got with Harwin because she and Leanor were having trouble performing the act. She was forced into that position. Also she clearly was not happy with both Alicent and Viserys. They both had agency in the matter. Rhaenyra knows that Viserys married Alicent for love so she knew that Alicent was seeing him behind her back. I do agree that Rhaenyra being involved in the murder of the servant on Driftmark and the deception on Corlys and Rhaenys is pretty bad.
But when you have Aegon raping his servants and facilitating systemic child murder as well as Otto and Alicent who pushed for this war to happen from the beginning, the Blacks and Rhaenyra in particular come out looking like the better option. It's true that Viserys was weak but that is not an excuse for Otto to use him. The Greens used the "inevitability" of conflict as an excuse to make that conflict inevitable. But in reality, the war only happened because Otto and Alicent crowned Aegon which was their choice. I agree it's not all black and white but it does seem more dark grey vs light grey.
Still supporting the blacks after this. Not me, thanks. And please stay away from kids.
U were always a traitorous green.
We blacks support all our queens war crimes to take back her throne.
😂😂 you really think Black supporters are going to harm kids because of a fictional show? 😂😂
Aegon facilitated child murder too. The Black as a whole still seem like the better faction.
@@datguy3581 He is a green simp.
He just hates women rulers.
@@datguy3581 And 500 things that never happened...
And just to let you know, Luke was not a child anymore. Also he took Aemond's eye (still does not justify his murder but he had a hand). What did 4 year old Jacaerys do to Rhaenyra/Daemon?
