Ok so House Of The Dragon is about to change the Game...Of Thrones and Episode 9 has a lot going on with it. The penultimate episode takes focus on the lean green Queen machine and it cements her villain arc and quest for power. In this video we're gonna be breaking down what happens in it, the easter eggs, book differences and also giving our thoughts what could happen in the finale next week.
This has been a massive season and I wanna thank you for all your support so far. We recently got our million subscriber plaque and it means more to me than a seat on the Iron Throne so I really appreciate it.
Now the episode is called The Green Council and this term was coined by Grand Maester Munken in the book. The name brings a lot with it as it of course shows how this once unbiased council has now been twisted by alicent into supporting her side.
Whereas the previous episodes all centred around Chapter 12 we are now in 13 which is titled the Dying Of The Dragons The Blacks Vs Greens. This war between the houses took place between 129 - 131 AC and the two years featured lots of deaths and the characters treating the Iron Thron like it's a game of musical chairs.
The period is known as the dance of the dragons but in the book its said that the phrase Dying of The Dragons is more suitable. The work is very much a chronicle of this time told to us by witnesses and maesters and it states that due to them trying to add a poetic flair to the story that they changed it to Dance.
However it's an extremely brutal period that's described as seeing several of the last dragons being wiped out. The source material says it was a war marked by stealth, murder and betrayal which we see from this openining.

Dude, I love your videos....but, why are you affiliating yourself with "Established Titles"? Not only are they a complete scam....but -- no -- you absolutely cannot "change your name on bank statements, credit cards, etc.". That's completely untrue and -- by charging money with that claim -- they're defrauding every customer.
You're better than this, bro. You can find a better sponsor that's not engaging in fraud.
Great video, otherwise.
It’s a scam. It’s a company in china.
Rhaenys' dragon is Meleys, also known as the Red Queen, not Meraxes
Did you noticed Larys rhymes with Varys?
@@TonyRush You know it's a scam when they do the countdown clock to trick you into thinking the offer will expire
Anyone notice how the maid informed the white worm about the king's death by lighting the candles on the window similar to how they supposed to be done in Winterfell by Theon to save Sansa
Yeah, I thought that meant something, I was wondering to whom a message was sent
@@june1775 another spy I suppose
More like common sense communication since there is zero technology.
It also resembled a tiered crown
Helaena wasnt kidding about The beast beneath the boards😱. What an episode!!!
Fr fr how does not a single person listen to her🙄
@@finnyc.260 exactly 😂
I was wondering what she was talking about. Thanks for pointing that out
Not to get too cheesy but they bloody well should 🧐🤔🤠🤫😉
I bet she wishes she wasn't correct for once in her life
Daemon never wanted to rule or get the throne. Daemon wanted to be his brother’s Hand, to protect him from people like the Hightowers and to protect the Targaryens’ lineage
Yeah, the more I think about it, it seems Otto was lying about how Daemon did a bad job at all the different stations he was in command of. Yes Daemon is ruthless but he’s also intelligent.
@@alicereeds5952 He was right about Otto from the beginning. Only Lord Beesburry and Harold were loyal to him. Rest all had their own agenda
I never understood why viserys preffered otto over daemon
@@sadafrafiq5006 cause otto know how to be a teacher pet but not daemon he has good intention but too wild and seems to be against viserys from his point of view
@@aintgonnaletuknow5758 true.. but daemon wouldnt betray.. he should have married rhaneyra and daemon.. and himself he should heve married laena.. hightowers were not good.
Alicent: Reluctance to murder is not a weakness.
Also Alicent the same day: Plots the murder of Mysaria.
She doesn't want to murder in EVERY situation, she ONLY does it when it's necessary. That should be obvious.
I think Alicent was shocked how her father could heartlessly order the death of Rhaenyra. Seeing how Otto has known her since she was born.
I love that both lord beesbury ,and the lord commander had the decency to follow King viserys wishes even amongst the green council meeting.
They knew him the longest - they knew his true wishes. They also recognized a coup when they saw one.
Long live king aegon the rightful ruler
To that end, how the heck is Criston Cole still around? This is the second time he has beat someone to death in front of many witnesses. I guess Alicent will keep protecting him as long as she needs him.
@@KCohere33 Exactly my thoughts. The first time, Viserys was still in control and yet Cole was not rven reprimanded. A plot hole for sure.
@@KCohere33
They need a sociopath next to the psychos in the council.
now im glad they’ve not overdone it with the dragons this season, makes moments like the end even better
Exactly
the way they did it was really good, i was honestly a bit disappointed by the end of the episode cause it felt pretty dry, but they topped it off with that amazing scene.
Probably would have overblown the budget
@@skeedshooter7091 budget which will be aimed towards much more dragon scenes for season 2 as it should be
man tbh i wanted her to burn all the greens so bad or atleast that otto hightower cause now even alicent hates her
I don't think Alicent was saying no to loving Aegon. It was more of a motherly love thing. She's shaking her head because she's thinking do you know what I've done to get you in that seat
Rhaenys is so misunderstood and it was especially proven after the talk she had with Alicent. She’s crafty, not cruel. She’s strong for her (immediate) family, she’s not selfish. Such a badass moment from her in this episode, I’ve been waiting for her turn lol
The dead peasants say otherwise, this was a good example as to why she wasn’t queen💀
@@indigo3896 lol ikr...
@@indigo3896 the common folk never mattered it GoT. Doubly so in Kings Landing where they stage children fights and all sorts of depravity.
@@indigo3896 You’re joking, right?
@@YungRaze21 you are aware that not all smallfolk think the same, that just because some bad people do something bad does not mean that ALL people do something bad. And they do matter actually, pisspoor writing from season 6 GoT tried to argue that they didn’t but you kind of have to have people to rule over, when you’re king/queen, otherwise your power is meaningless 🤡🤡🤡
If only Rhaenys had simply uttered one word.
Seriously tho could’ve ended it all right there
@@CorBor69 her not saying it just sealed her faith. She is Ned Stark before Ned Stark was born
@@flickfellas9424 I hadn’t drawn that parallel but you’re absolutely right.
I was saying it for her!!!😂😂
@@flickfellas9424 I think her being a mother and losing her son played a part in that
Seeing Meleys was incredible
so awesome
Omg yes I was screaming ❤
Hands down one of the best things I've witnessed on a screen 😱
Those HORNS! The Red Queen has a crown!
She could’ve saved the entire realm a bloody war and instead she just leaves???
Lord Commander Westerling is the unsung hero of this episode, he reminded me of Ser Barristan when he quit and walked off
If you were the new king how would you feel if your lord commander quit because you weren’t clearly labeled king? I’d have him executed lmao
I like how gray every character is and Rhaenys is amazing. She honours her husband and her promise to Viserys, even though she didn't agree at first. She's also wise not to mass murder Hightowers, that's not her war, but she definitely chose her side loud and clear.
thats was stupid they will kill her and she will have to go to war as they will need her dragon so shes basically set herself up to get killed as the biggest dragon still belongs to them
@@nasiampadeka4606 Oi I didn't know I was just guessing lol you've spoilt it now 😂
@@nasiampadeka4606 hey woah!!!! Spoilers :(
Deleted, although I had the warning and big space after 😑
Rhaenys was by far the mvp of this episode. The scene where she tells Alicent she's still letting men use her as a pawn to gain power, then showing her she's not afraid of her by party crashing Aegon's coronation with her dragon. Props to Eve Best for absolutely killing this role.
Rhaenys was being used to for power from Corlys. All the women are.
Yes girl boss let’s massacre a football station’s worth of small folks for my physics-defying Michael Bay entrance. YAS QUEEN women can be just a callous and cruel as men 👏🏼
Until she decided to go full psycho and mass kill a good bunch of smallfolk for her power show-off little exit. Not sure if she would have made that good of a queen. I'd rather have Viserys The Peaceful
@@user-wl1uz5sb9f Viserys’ weakness and indecisiveness is what ends up plunging the realm into war and the countless dead, and nearly wiping out the Targaryen family
@@austinlagowski_8441 Viserys did what he could. Those psychos would have thrown at each other eventually. And it is Rhaenyra and her appetite for bastards the main source of all the problems.
Loved the ending. I thought that Rhaenys would slip out to go to Rhaenyra, but her just breaking through the floor was just so much better. I liked the look between her and Alicent, made me feel like Rhaenyra was like “yeah I was not the queen, but I will not let the same mistake happen again”
The beats from the boards said by the wife sister to Aegon
She should have been Queen of the seven kingdoms. she is more level-headed then other two. I feel don't deserve it.
Yeah as soon as I heard the dragon I yelled out “Rhaenys!!!” That’s how you f’ing make a statement!!!
Can someone please explain to me why the lady on the dragon would kill a bunch of innocent ppl just to go tell someone she believed had her son killed that they’ve stolen her crown? I guess some ppl really like to tell more than getting revenge. 😆
@@poca791 she sent a huge message to the Hightower family. The war is on and she’s on team Black. She previously agreed to the marriage between Rhaeneryas kids and daemons. There on good terms. Plus if she murdered the Hightowers we wouldn’t have a season 2. Makes no sense to do so. And the murder of innocent people have been normalized. They don’t matter 😂
So glad we finally get a good look at Meleys the Red Queen
At first when I saw the dragon coming in the castle, I thought it was Daemon coming in I wasn't expecting the princess. What a great episode
Whoever did the casting for this show need a raise..these people are phenomenal
For all the good things about this show, the casting is one of the worst. The Rhaenyra is much uglier than the first and Aegon looks fucking younger. Not to mention Sir Criston didn't seem to even age.
@@thebugman8696 lol I guess
@@thebugman8696 Rhaenyra is described as much uglier and fat in the books with every child birth. One of the reasons she hates Alicent is because the latter keeps her shape despite multiple children. For Aegon and Aemond... There are numerous examples in the world of younger siblings looking older than older siblings, as they age. Ser Criston is an adult when he sleeps with Rhaenyra. Most men hardly change their outlook between late twenties and late thirties or early forties especially if they martially active, that is, the guy is literally training daily.
@@thebugman8696 The older actors were cast before the younger actors and he doesn't do the stuff like his younger brother so your logic is flawed on that one
The adult Alicent is amazing! Wish she played adolescent Rhaenyra instead. Criston wins as the character who you love them immediately hate.
I almost jumped out my chair when "The Queen who never was" broke the ground up!🔥
“A beast beneath the boards!” I did jump out of my seat!!!
Lmao me too. It’s crazy because right befire that happened, I was think to myself… where’s the dragon? I thought there was supposed to be at least one dragon in each episode.. BOOM the Queen who never was comes and scares the sh*t outta me.
@@BangTanPrettiNikki that's the first thing that came to mind for me too
@@dovelove1920 absolutely!!
that ruined the entire series for me right there. i’m just gonna read the books 20 times to wash that garbage scene from my memory
I really appreciate how you didn't tip toe around the Larys scene here. Well done 🦶👣🦶
The puniest pun that ever punded ! 😂
I’m surprised they didn’t blur them out and demand we pay more
Alicent foot fetish Only Fans?
😅🤣🤣
Meleys really reinforced the fact that dragons are majestic, powerful creatures, he and Rhaenys could have put an end to the insurrection with the utterance of a single command. I don't know if it was just me but there was a lot of underlying tension in literally every second and every scene in this episode, that didn't necessarily get paid off. I fear that the season finale might be a very dark one, in a figurative sense.
This scene was made up not part of the books, this very entrance doesn't make sense
it was a really cool scene, but a rather inexplicably bad decision by rhaenys not to kill the greens. it also was really oddly bad decision making by the greens to create tension - it's highly unreasonable that they would have stood there all together instead of scattering.
@@Ass_of_Amalek her very entrance alone could have killed all the greens had maeleys came up in the right spot. That alone creates a big hole. Soon as the show runners go "creative" the start producing unsensible moments.
@@quertbarbie62 couldnt agree with you more! I hate this episode and it's stupid writing. It honestly ruined the show for me
'She' not all powerful beings are male, fyi. Meleys is female 🙄
I don't get how everyone just accepts Allicent's word as to what the king wanted. I think, deep down, she knows that wasn't what the king meant.
Cause everyone Hates rhaenyra. Haven't you been paying attention the majority of people see her as a spoiled brat.
Yup drew a quick conclusion when she didn't really understand
Most of them accepted it because it made their already set in stone plans easier, because they can just say it was the will of the king
They had the exact same plan regardless of Alicent. She realized that she wasn't actually a player
I'm not so sure about that. I'm team black but I'm very sympathetic to the show's version of Alicent and admittedly I'm biased towards her. I think she seems incredibly troubled by what Viserys said. I think she feels extreme conflict because she wishes to honor what she believes to be his wishes but sees as clearly as everyone else that Aegon is unfit to rule. She resents and almost rejects him, only held back by her instinctual mother's love. It seems like she regrets even telling her father at all. But of course, that's me interpreting Alicent in the most sympathetic lens possible as a black
Another great episode!! Rhaenys showed so much restraint!! I KNEW when she said she wasn't leaving without Meylys she damn meant it. I'm 100% team black, but I swear, this is the FIRST time I had respect for Alicent. For FINALLY standing up to Otto and for trying to have Rhaenyra's back. Makes their story that much more tragic.
She didn’t have Rhaenyra’s back, she was just trying to do it the right and just way
Alicent has been defending Rhaenyra and had her back for like the entire series
@@andyrobin7196, she has, but in such a high handed way that it made me hate her. It's only in the past 2 episodes that I saw her in a more human light. I NEEDED to see her grieve for Viserys AND have enough respect for his memory (and respect for their broken friendship) not to go along with Otto's plan to murder his daughter.
Otro will pull an” i told you so”but allicent shoudlnt have been trying to steal the throne for her some anyways
@@alicecaraballo3910 exactly like allicent is acting like she wasn’t the one who had rheynerys man killed
Beast beneath the boards could also be aegon himself since he was under that candle thing, also really cool to hear aemond talk about yi ti since we may be getting a show about it
What is Yi ti?
@@ley_la9554 a land in the east
I agree.
the first time I heard helaena say it at the family meal, I did think she was saying "you are the beast beneath the boards", and specifically addressing aegon. though on second listen, I thought she said "beware".
also the scene earlier in episode 9 where she interrupts alicent as she's tryingto say that the king is dead made it seem a lot more like she was talking about a spy listening, because she stopped alicent from telling a secret.
@@Ass_of_Amalek ohhh interesting interpretation!
The really shocking plot twist is finding out Larys is a foot weirdo
At first I thought he was reading her foot like how people read palms 😂😂 but damn that was horrible to watch
My wife look at me like👀👀😜🤣
And more shocking that alicent entertains him
Homie was beatin it with full focus
@@faizakram8458 other people had to pay more for less
so this aren't really a bad deal honestly
Heleana looks almost satisfied when Rhaenys turns up. A “told you so” look, for sure.
"There's a Beast in the boards!"
She should stop mumbling to herself so everyone can listen to her vision
@@bat-orgilganzorig5825 A stopped clock is right at least once a day
@@bat-orgilganzorig5825 it’s not like people aren’t hearing her words, it’s just that no one is paying attention to her. Not her fault
Maybe the dragon was the beast under the boards.
Rhaenys just became one of my favorite characters. Such a great moment for her.
That ending was FIRE 🔥🔥🔥!! loved how Rhaenys just didn't slip away and instead made an entrance to the coronation making a bold point to what's to come ahead for them!!! baddie !
I forgot to add ... Rhaenys has been to battle before and knows the power of the dragon. Even though that scene killed innocent people, she chose not to burn them alive. She was making a stand and having the balls to do it at Aegon's coronation.
I guess killing innocent people is better than killing them huh
back then, peasant lifes are worthless
right
She had no plans to kill them - they’re all still her extended family. She was just making a statement and a big one lol. She’s going back to be with her grand daughters, who are betrothed to Rhaenyras boys and join team black.
@@briengakaplan-b1550 *Has the chance to end the war right there and then*
"Nah nvm you guys have plot armor I am going back so we can fight with our armies instead lol!"
Garbage writing
Raenys instantly became my new favorite character. That ending was fucking epic. I love how your videos give us enough to get excited for future spoilers without spoiling these major moments and reveals
Edit: its not about who she killed but that she did such a gangster move to get free from King's Landing since I presumed she was trapped after getting coralled to the annointment. Then to absolutely unexpectedly destroy the ceremony was wild
Same here. I didn’t like her at first but she’s a baddie
Omg same
Fr she could have done so much damage, but decided to show mercy. I was screaming for her dragon to snatch Alicent up.
@@Tequliah she killed a fuck ton of innocents.
Makes no sense. She didnt kill any1 from the greens but was ok crushing hundreds of people to death.
I was thinking when Alicent smiled looking at her crowned son i thought, 'the monster under the floor' was a reference to Aegon and his depravity. Then literally a second later the real monster comes crashing up thru the floor. Holy shit that was epic
I love how she smiled when she saw that the crowd was being led to the dragon pit and foresaw the end at than moment
I love how this show gives us moments that could have changed everything and avoid catastrophe BUT things still go wrong
I do think Viserys was offed, but it wasn't the Queen, it was Otto. When he stopped being hand, Viserys seemed like he was getting better, then after losing Strong and Otto coming back, he declined again. If Otto wasn't directly trying to kill him, he was definitely not doing him any favors on the medical side. Didn't his old Maestors come back when Otto returned? I got a bit confused on the Maestor part of who was treating him. The book has nothing about this, but I wonder if the show might hint at it or even use it as another conflict point or something, that or I am just seing crap that doesn't exist... again :)
I don't think Otto killed him because he was crying at his death.
@@jimmyhyun8546 Tears of joy has his dreams are coming to fruition.
Otto has been plotting since the first episode. Daemon was the only one that saw Otto for what he was from day one.
Like he also mentioned that his father had conveniently died before Otto was offered hand of the king. I think the man was poisoning them both.
I don't think Otto had Viserys killed, he may be a scheming piece of garbage but he was visibly upset when he heard of Viserys's death, and keeping a sick and decrepit king alive gives him more power as Hand
I can't help but remember that in the last episode Rhaenyra said to Alicent "I will return on dragon back". At the time it sounded innocent enough, but given recent events, I think it's a portent of things to comes.
Is anyone else as confused as I am about Rhaenys and not killing Alicent due to "A mothers love" when she crashed through the floor and more than likely killed a ton of other mothers and fathers? The scene was unreal don't get me wrong, but I am confused about it all at that moment. Am I missing something? Was that the only way to get her dragon out?
This show is amazing. God, Season 2 can't get here fast enough 😥
There’s one more episode
23:45 Rhaenys' dragon is Meleys, not Meraxes. Meraxes is dead before the show starts.
Glad Someone Noticed.. 😊
Was about to post this myself
Which one is Maraxes?
@@EzeICE the dragon of Visenya
@@grimmywizard Visenyas dragon was Vhagar, it's Rhaenys (Aegon I.) Sister wife
I would love to see Rhynaera’s “dead” husband show up at some point with his dragon to fight on their behalf
You referred to Rhaenys' dragon as Meraxes. Her Dragon is Meleys. Meraxes was the mount of Aegon's sister wife and one of three dragons (Vhagar and Balerion) instrumental in Aegon's conquest
Yeah he kinda mixed the two rhaenys, with opposite dragons
Rhaenys could’ve prevented the Dance and what came after if only she had said “Dracarys”
She's the most compelling and honorable character. She would never have killed a mother standing in front of her son. And she's not a kinslayer
@@annabougato9628 honorable ? She litterally murdered a bunch of small folk
@@annabougato9628 Honorable? "never have killed a mother in front of her son" ?? HOW MANY fcking mothers and sons did she kill with that fcking ENTRANCE??????
@@annabougato9628 nah it was not honor, she was restrained by the plot we need the story to keep going
And then this would have been a one season show. :P
The Meleys scene was tough!!!!🔥🔥🔥
amazing
💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
I am amazed by how better episode by episode this series gets. The surprise that Rhenys gave at the end since it isn't mentioned in the books is brilliant.
My lady and I were dying during the foot scene because as the episode was starting we were inquiring what Larys wanted and why he was manipulating/helping the queen. The fact that it was just to see some toes destroyed me😂😂
I was laughing so hard because you could see him as a deviant. Best she looks away as his hand sides into his pants lol
I definitely think either the director or writer has a foot fetish 🤔
This was so disturbing but hot tho. I love me some men with foot fetish.
@@claudiap.6838 while most men appreciate a woman with lovely feet with polished nails, guys with a foot fetish care nothing about the woman at all just their feet and only those feet (yes I was a psychology major in college 😉 )
Reminded me of Something about Mary - the pervy best friend that was stealing all the womens shoes 🤣🤣😂
@@briengakaplan-b1550 wasn't there a movie called "Road Trip" where these friends try to get back a video tape? I remember now the girl curled up on her seat on a bus with some guy crawls over to suck on her toes lol
When Rhaenys stared down Alicent, I was like "it was at this moment that Alicent knew she had effed up" 😂
Yeah. It could also be the one where it goes
_record scratch_ _freeze frame_ "Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation…"
This episode was intense!!!! I can’t wait for the finale next Sunday!!! 🔥
Prepare some tissue already... We will witness our first casualty of the dance ..
Not looking forward to the wait for season 2😳
I'm sad that the show is ending already in a week :( but hopefully we'll get more GoT shows while waiting for Season two.
Or Monday for some of us 😪
I like how no matter how shady and bad these people are, they all genuinely are sad about the kings death. Dude was a loveable guy
Aemond stood ready to fight as the dragon approaches is a good detail and sums him up nicely
Not gunna lie seeing all the dragons die is gunna be a hard watch. I guess it’s truly why it doesn’t matter who you side for because ultimately no one is the winner at the end
I had so much anxiety watching this! If there was ever a time a cellphone was needed it was when Rhaenys was locked in, but seeing her on her dragon was everything!!!
It looks like Aegon really wants the throne now he seemed to be relishing in the idea that he was in control. Just look at how he makes everyone bow and smiles around the crowd. He could be trouble.
The artwork of the 3 dragonns fighting each other with one body at :59 is beautiful and portrays it so well
Is anyone going to talk about this episode’s score? Simply phenomenal!
Is it just me but for some reason it sounded (to me) like a Westworld score,
It very much reminded me of the score for Winds of Winter
They finally got a score for themselves. Got got one come on house of dragon get your musical shit together 😂😂
Bro Rhaenys threw me all the way off with that! 😂 That was so lit bro! What people don’t understand is that she isn’t on anyones side! She just wants to be left alone. Especially since her husband and kids are gone. Her being Queen was never gonna happen so she wanted to just do her and that’s exactly what she did 😈
Finally somebody else who gets her. Yeah she has never picked a side. She just wants to live peacefully with her family and not get involved in the crazy succession mess. To me this was just her saying I won’t be manipulated by anyone.
@@damsel995 yet the next thing she does is bringing Rhaenyra her father’s crown and telling her “the Greens are coming for you and your children”.
Umm she ends up being team black so she does pick a side
Yes at the end she goes to tell Rhaenyra what happened, but I don’t think that’s her taking a side. I just think that’s her doing what she thinks is the right thing to do by letting Rhaenyra know what happened and that her father is dead. She doesn’t have the crown with her by the way, one of the twins have it I think. I know in the books she takes the side of team black, I’m just going by what I see and interpret from the show since they’re not going exactly by the book. What I’ve seen from her is that she has never firmly taken a side. She has always been on her own side, doing what she thinks is right. Usually by just telling the truth like in ep 8. Now in the next episode we will probably see her become team black, but even if she is team black. I just don’t see her as someone who is full ride or die because she has issues with people on both teams. So that’s all I meant is that she like everyone on the show is a complex intricate character with more than what appears on the surface. Which is why the show is so good is that not one character is one sided, they are all gray complex characters.
Then proceed to fight the green in the dance anyway? She accept the marriage proposal between her granddaughters and Rhaenyra's sons. She clearly picked a side. Making her fly out without burning them all is nothing more than poor writing decisions made just to keep the story going. The scene shouldn't even exist, it's stupid.
I get Rhaenys getting swayed by the mother's love defence from Alicent but she could have at least had Melys chomp off Otto Hightower's head... he definitely deserves it!
Oh yeah. Big chomp chomp for Ole Otto 🤨
Ris- otto? LMAO
Otto has a few more heads to take first and heads he will take.
@@kristianawilson9038 LMAO
Alicent's Anne Boleyn-esque vibes those last few minutes to the ep's end was just *chef's Kiss*
As someone who just finished the book, I'm really liking these breakdowns and comparisons. 👍🏻
Rhenys could’ve saved the Targaryan bloodline and prevented the war from starting and saved dragons
Saved the bloodline by putting bastards in line for the throne? Yeah, okay.
@@fookinaye8277 or you know, Daemon & Rhaenrya's kids instead 🤷♂️
No there’s still too many heirs
She was making a statement. "Be careful what you wish for." She's seen enough battles to know when to bark and when to bite.
@@alicecaraballo3910 has she? They've been at peace for for decades before she was even considered for the throne
Alicent and Criston "your feelings for me.".... aaaannnnd She lets Larys pleasure himself looking at her feet to get him to do things she wants. Really pious, Alicent.
She's the most Hypocrite person in the show.
"reluctant to murder" unless it's the White worm after a foot job. A queen's words, a whores work
Loved the symbolism with the commons overpowering the guards trying to shut the doors. Reaffirms what Mysaria said to Otto about the people having the power.
Love the breakdowns man. Super on point. Also RUclips has absolutely lost it with the amount of ads they force every 2 minutes.
Simpy amazing... And the final minutes had my jaw dropped Meleys is a fierce dragon indeed.
Meleys is probably my favorite looking dragon in the show so far, the swept back horns all around its head and neck make it for me
The red queen. I believe she's older than maraxes but younger than vhagar so her size was on point too
@@danielhughes5932 if she's older than Maraxes then she should be bigger than what was shown on the show, or was she always locked up like the rest dragons?
I love Mama Vaghar. She's an embattled ole broad but gorgeous. I love how human her eyes look, especially in the scene with Lena!
I'm team Derp Wurm
@@ogiejames9110 i meant Caraxes/ blood worm my bad
I think the part where Alicent says "You imbecile" is more of her subtly saying "I did all this damage for you so that you can be king and you ask me that whether I love you? You imbecile." Her smirk probably adds id a bit of motherly love to the dialogue.
She served men to get in power and has a purpose in life. I do think she was embarrassed and is truly more interested by power than the love she could have for her son.
Such a well done show. Even though the action is limited, the acting and drama keeps my heart rate up the whole time. So great!
Alicent loves him, the little smile she did in the end, gave it away, she's a mother, she know he is a monster, but she still loves him, and wish him to be a good king, even if she knows it's impossible
when has she ever indicated that she loves him?
Yea it’s the same situation that we saw with Cersei and Joffrey
@@Anthony-tz2wb Not really.
Cersei and Alicent are completely different characters and although Aegon is a horrible human, he isn’t Joffrey.
@@garym6338 Not necessarily true. I do believe Cersei loved Joffrey. They both knew what kind of people they were
Heh all children are little beasts, some much worse than others though. Like Aegon and Joffrey…
HOLY SHIT, sometimes i cant describe with words how much House of the Dragon has been everything that i wanted for.
Exactly!! And die hard GoT fans won't admit it lol
"The beast beneath the boards" could also be a reference to Meleys bursting through the floor
Only you can bring such levity to such a serious breakdown, and I love it.
In the books someone absolutely did help the king die. Too perfect timing when Rhaenyra would be unable to arrive via dragon back!
Rhaenys knows how to make an entrance DAMN!
The fact you shared a pic of you holding the plaque smiling makes me watch your videos more! Thanks for the content
Congratulations on 1M! Truly deserved and very happy for you! ❤
The tension in that episode was fire
Ser Criston is starting to pissed me off, htf are you gonna manhandle an old man like that. This guy goes around killing people on the counsel and not a damn thing happens to him.
Great episode!! And can’t wait until next week! Love how the show has gone so far! And great breakdown of it as well keep up the great work!
You stay on top of the uploads and I’m here for it 👏🏽
I think her Dragon is called Meleys the Red Queen. Meraxes was the OG Rhaenys' dragon.
You're literally correct
Indeed, you’re right.
Mama Rheanys had her battle armor on and everything! This was so epic!
The armor was super dope
Was a message that they are already in war,
I love you and thank you for giving the heads up to sign out before you give away things about the future episode.
I think that Heleana's words "beast beneath the bords" means lord Larrys, because she is sewing the same simbol as the one on Larrys stick. Also, he is plotting with Alicent but with Otto too. What a marvelous episode , can't wait to see how the show will develop in the future, but for now - absolutely great work from the producers.
Lary’s has a firefly on his cane. You have to go to the HBO source guide to know that.
Larys has a fire fly & she is sewing a spider
I think this ep shows Alicent’s decent into madness. She actually begged her son and he replied with do you love me. Her actions aren’t matching up with her body language and she appears lost! This was a great episode and great breakdown!
At that point she should have ganked him with that knife, and told aemon that he was off the bench
This has me rewatching GoT all over again so I don’t go through withdrawals 😭
me too and people keep comparing HOTD with it, but I think GOT has such better clever dialogue and tension between everyone...it's underrated
@@queenb2450 Just make sure to skip the last 2 seasons😂
@@conolade3290 Ironically, I just binged seasons 7 & 8 this week!
@@redmatrix yikes but there is such a drop in quality with season 7 and 8. Even season 6 had such great storylines for everyone where anything could happen
Been there done that lol I’m gonna rewatch this first season again after the finale next week.
I appreciate your production… it helps In connecting a lot of things all together
Also the length of Myraxes’s roar was absolutely spot on. Brilliant 🐉
Rhaenys dragon is called Maelys the red queen, not Myraxes.
Helaena is my favorite character, I can't wait to see more of her. When she was talking about people wanting what others have, do you think she is talking about Aemond? He wants to be king and earlier in episode 7 he kinda hints that he wanted to marry Helaena. So maybe the civil war within the civil war might not be so far fetched.
Aemond has no love for his brother lol remember that whole pink dread prank was Aegons master plan. His drive to become who he is now all stemmed from being better than Aegon first.
@@briengakaplan-b1550 I don't think Aemond has any love for Aegon either. But this episode just clearly shows that Aemond thinks he's better suited to be King than his older brother. And I thought maybe he had a thing for his sister Helaena just cuz he said he wanted to be the one to marry her in episode 7.
@@samgrosky575 Because he sees the hot mess that Aegon truly is. He’s not committed to anything or anyone and takes nothing seriously. Did you see the bastard kid of his at that kid fighting dungeon? Aegon is just a mess - he literally gives me Commodus vibes from Gladiator.
She is talking about her mother
She's the Meg of the series lol
Congratulations on the RUclips plaque!!! Your killing it your streams are always top notch 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯
I am so excited for the finally! I hope the fights are as epic as the build up to them.
Around 15:20 Cristons advice to Aegon (which appears to motivate him to go thru with it) seems like it was important enough of information that it should've been included in the episode... While previously he seems entirely reluctant to be king, save for the little talk he has with Alicent on the way to his coronation... Not enough exposition to really "sell" his major perspective change on taking the throne in my opinion.
It should be conveyed much more dramatically over either a longer period of time (or by some major world changing dialog(s) like this) to really seem like a characters "honest" change of heart (even if the info is dishonest or untrue but still polarizing)
Rhaenys should have burned them all 🐉 🔥
But I want more season so.....
She cares too much for her cousin to do that
@@YanickaQuilt Me too but damn it would have been sweet. 😅
Why didn't she?? It was almost a perfect moment
I wish I would have been happy with that
Paul you're awesome. Glad you got the 1M plaque. I would also like to thank everyone behind the scenes because they make your channel awesome.
Alicent expression of struggling manage all things is just perfect! It shows how stressed she is,
Her acting is so impressive.
Great video ! It’s so entertaining and informative. Thanks and congrats on 1 million Subscribers!✨
If you know the lore…Rheanys was gonna have her moment…but it was still epic!!!!
Rhaenys was a total badass at the end. I respect the restraint she displayed because the greens were the vulnerable ones.
Excellent episode. The ending was like Jon snow coming back to life & Olenna Tyrell saying I want her to know it was me. So OG 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Congrats on a Million Subs! Love your breakdowns and humor!
Amazing episode. That ending was epic. Huge flex from Raenys since she could have ended them all right then and there. But I believe she knew it was too late. Aegon had been crowned and no matter her choice, the kingdom would fall into chaos.
nah, the coronation would have simply been undone by her killing aegon and the rest of the greens present. everybody knew that the actual named heir was rhaenyra. the only challengers to her claim would have been aegon's incest babies. rhaenys 100% should have torched the greens, and it's highly unreasonable that she didn't.
This episode was soooo good! Rhaenys and her dragon omg! I screamed ! Dracarys! 😂🐉🔥 10/10
I think everyone did lol
@@liafbaby7791 👌🏾😜I did
I was yelling it also!! 😆 🐉 🔥
Edit: with Alicent standing in front of Aegon like she would save him. 🙄 I guess it was due to their conversation.?
Huge congratulations on a million subs! Love your videos. Always crack me up, lol.
