That scene between Aegon and Larys might be one of my favourites in the show so far, to see these two characters so vulnerable and genuine for once on Larys’ part was actually touching, even if his ultimate goal is his own rise you could tell his emotion was real
I think there was definitely real emotion behind his speech but also was there to manipulate aegon, that stare he gave once aegon asked for his help was clear cut
@@AcExMBar Personally I think Tom has been playing Aegon perfectly and he’s had many strong scenes! Idk if that’s what you meant but yes I agree on Larys for sure, and it was a touching scene with Aegon
Rhaenyra actually asked Mysaria some episodes ago what how she got the scar on her neck. But she didnt reply. So I think that was a genuine moment between them, Mysaria felt more comfortable opening up to her. It wasnt misplaced or random.
@@bigjoh02 Oh, I see. Still, its actually not uncommon to become physical with someone after sharing traumas/opening up. Its weird yes, but in a different way
The thing Is it would have been a nice friendship moment. Everyone i know says the same that Noone got any romantic vibe beforehand!!! It was more like allies or friendship it's not the same as romance. Most felt it came out of nowhere, so it makes most viewers pissed off. And also I will stand on the hill that the whole kiss/ romance with Mysaria of all people does not make anyyy sense. They could have done a women romance with any other character
I can't be the only one who saw the Rhaenyra and Mysaria thing coming after seeing them in that scene when they were looking out at the beach together Edit: Oh Carlie also saw it
Alicent is a part of why her two sons are the way they are but the real problem was always king v. King v ignored his children by Alicent and the kids turned resentful towards him. Daeron is better because he has no connection to his father while his brothers don’t have that luxury.
@@edosa4647 he sure as hell had the chance though. All before episode 7 he had two walking legs and a mouth to tell his sons that he loves them he could have gave them advise, how to act, or even reconcile with rhaenyra. He did nothing but defend one child and ignored the rest.
Not to mention Alicent didn't have her own mother to teach her empathy, her father always used her as a chess piece while being so obvious about it on her face.
daemon’s harrenhal arc has been my favorite this season. it’s done wonders for his character and his repressed emotions regrets and guilt. that scene of him and viserys was heartbreaking
I agree I think it is truly going to change who is as a person which is only gonna make him more valuable to Rhaenyra and the blacks and I did love his scenes with visarys this time around because I thought they were genuinely compelling and they genuinely hit him at a point that nothing else has. And then you type that into his conversations with Allys and I think it’s genuinely gonna help going forward.
And people are hating the f out of it because it’s “boring” and even making up nonsense about how they have to show a vision of old valyria to make up for it etc. Viewers can be such a headache too
I can’t help but love characters when they finally stop playing a part and are just so open and vulnerable about themselves. Larys is a horrible person objectively, yet hearing his tragic childhood and how broken it made him, it’s clearly so real and valid to him. he might just be helping Aegon to save/booster himself, but regardless, his motivation for it is always the same.
Alys Rivers has become one of my favorite characters, she's so oddly arrogant and mysterious. The very first time I saw her, she just walks in, glaring at everybody while they are all bending the knee to Daemon. She treats Daemon Targaryen like he's a wayward child and walks around like she owns Harrenhal Castle. No one ever confronts her about anything, plus she can control owls. Is Alys Rivers even her real name, who or what is she, in reality?
I think Aemond forgot that the only reason why certain houses only pledge to the greens is because of Vhagar so of course he has to be on the front line that's the responsibility of being the only weapon the greens have. Seasmoke was the mvp of the episode
True, however, and then doesn’t mean that Rhaenyra can’t send them food just show her goodwill. She did not block the food because of the town people in Kings Landing. They blocked the food from the kingdom to try to shut down a Falce kingdom that was trying to use of her throne huge difference.
@@skedda2861 They are trying to come up with plans like Aegon saying they should have sent Vhagar or Aemond wanting to use the triarchy, but each either takes time or leaves the castle exposed to dragon fire.
@@smiteo Find a way to get house Tyrell's favor. They're neutral, but nobody says no to coin and dragons. Travel by the roseroad or through the Mander.

Now, is it worth the care that Aemond doesn't have? What are they gonna do, revolt?
The only illusions of Daemon that everyone is delighted to see again in my opinion is in this episode. Seeing Paddy Considine again as King Viserys is both epic and emotional. This actor really left a big gap in the show. The intonation of the original lines "the heir for a day confrontation" was full of disappointment and anger on the part of Viserys. In the illusion of Daemon, she was full of sadness and regret. What an incredible performance by Paddy Considine & mat smith. The chemistry between her two actors is so perfect. King Viserys Targaryen : The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion! Seasmoke will not disagree whit Viserys🔥
I love the edginess they put the commonfolk at the beginning until they actually break things up themselves because they can't take it anymore, it's one of my favorite things in the dance of the dragons
I have to say, it seems like only the book readers are enjoying the Daemon Harrenhal stuff. There are a lot of dream sequences and visions in the books. Even Jaime in the books has wild dreams when he is resting underneath a weirwood tree. Harrenhal is so much shrouded in mystery throughout and it's a central point in so many major events in the history of Westeros. Harrenhal is a very mystical place. It's also where Rhaegar falls in love with Lyanna Stark. It's where the seeds of Robert's Rebellion are planted which starts the song of ice and fire. And of course where Jahaerys the Conciliator named Viserys as his heir. Honestly it is one of my favourite parts of the season apart from King's Landing. The character development Daemon is getting is great, and has made him a much more complex character. Alys Rivers is also a pretty notable figure in the books. Thank fuck she's now confirmed to be a real person and not a hallucination in the show. Rhaenyra and Mysaria has been by far the weakest part of the season so far. The development of the relationship happented too quickly and is too forced and Mysaria just keeps kissing her ass. Please let it be that Mysaria betrays her, maybe the ominous music means something. If that's the case then it's good, otherwise it is just way too forced. What's funny is that everything has a big setup in this show and this scene had no setup lmao. Also they are stretching this into 4 seasons and there just isn't enough content to justify that. So the pacing will suffer especially next season. Because in the books things speed up. Spoiler Alert: Alys Rivers and Aemond have a thing in the books.
Rhaenyra : *proposes stupid idea* Councilors : *tells her it is a stupid idea* Rhaenyra : *slaps him after it is proven to be a stupid idea* Everyone : YAAASS QUEEN
The Blacks need dragons - without Dragons they’re fucked. Did anyone else have an idea to fix that situation? Rhaenyra shouldn’t have slapped him true, but Celtigar was displaying a level of disrespect that didn’t respect her station. Of course, however, it’s not as if previous mistakes haven’t led to this situation - the caution and inaction of the last few episodes and damaged Rhaenyra’s standing with her council.
@@everhall306 I must admit that desperate times might require desperate measures, but I still think it is a bad idea to give the sole symbol of the dynasty's power to outsiders ( you could argue a kingsguard is not an outsiders, but you can't say the same for the rest) What is really frustrating is how the show is constantly trying to portray her council as the bad guys when they were making the most sense the entire time. Just like you said, her inaction caused this! At least she did something now, she had been extremely boring for a while
I still lay most of the parenting blame on Viserys despite Alicent blaming herself. In a society like that, mothers always take the blame when Viserys’s neglect was the architect of what Aegon and Aemond turned out to be. Aegon turned to revelry to fill the hole created by his absence. Alicent parented him from a place of fear, but that fear for her children’s lives wouldn’t even exist if Viserys had treated all his children equally.
I would mostly agree but the fact that in the green boys teens, Viserys was already infirm and barely capable of doing the smallest responsibilities he had.
For Aegon i agree but for Aemond, we clearly see that he has mommy issues. The brothel girl is an older women that he craves motherly love from and i mean even Vaghar is an older female dragon. I dont think its random.
@@SlavYuriy when the boys were teens viserys was definitely well enough to walk around, talk etc. he had more than enough time to be a parent and make them feel loved, but he didn’t.
Didn't Viserys say that Rhaenyra was his only child? also he didn't give a fuck when Aemond lost an eye. So, we should blame on him as well for not caring about his children since the show doesn't seem to deepen on that, maybe because they don't want to affect people's perception about Viserys' character.
GOT has never ended a season on a battle-cliffhanger, so I doubt that will happen now. I think the next episode is gonna be an insane Harrenhal-battle, and the finale is gonna be set-up for the next stage in the war, with Aemond doing something crazy and Rhaena snagging that wild dragon. I think the burned sheep indicate that it's Sheepstealer lol (although all dragons seem to like sheep).
i love how they made seasmoke choose addam that way probably because seasmoke missed his original rider sir leanor, but this also means that leanor is dead💀
I would like the scene if they left out Team Black coming up with the idea. I think them talking about it and then it happens accidentally 1 day later for the first time in history is just bad writing.
@@sandmand4036I disagree. Seasmoke immediately sought out a rider after the failed attempt because he's been restless the whole season, plus he's being eyeing Adam back in the first (or second?) episode, the build up was there
Episode should've been called Seasmoke the Troll and Rhaneyra the Queera. Which I am in support of, she's been giving me queer vibes all along I just didn't think it'd actually go there!
Having your mother present but not getting the love/care you deserve despite her being *able* to do it, hurts and impacts you alot worse than having a mother and not getting the love/care you need from her, but having her be unable to because of distance, effects you differently.
TB is the ones that blocking food from coming in. It is a smart chess move from TB, but they are the ones that is stopping the Smallfolk from receiving food. Nothing either Aemond or Aegon could do unless they destroy Coryls blockade, that's stopping food from coming into Kings Landing. Aemond has mentioned a plan to destroy the blockade when he was talking to Tyland.
What he is trying to establish is that, from Aegon or Aemonds point of view they can't do anything about the food until the blockade is dealt with, so it is disingenuous to hold them responsible for not providing food, like the have an enormous amount to provide on standby. TB orchestrated it that way. To add on to your comment, I thought the show established enough how the reason for why the war started no longer matters as the mentions from Aemond killing Luke to Luke taking Aemonds eye. But TB and TG definitely each had their parts to play, from Otto's scheming, to Daemon being Daemon, to Rhaenyra's bastard situation , to Alicents wedding to Viserys and so forth.
The narrative was that the middle/upper class and the crown were hoarding resources because of the blockade. So technically KL does have enough food for everyone till the blockade is ended and the crown could use their power to make it illegal to hoard or to help distribute the resources until they deal with the blockade.
To be fair it wasn’t Rhaenyra’s idea to send food, it was Mysaria’s and to be quite frank it was a pretty stupid one. They really just gambled boat loads of food hoping the current wouldn’t wash it away.
Viserys was seen on camera giving aegon wine as a 2 year old and now aegon has a severe alcohol problem. Somehow you guys never mention viserys as also being responsible for how aegon and aemond turned out. all you do is blame alicent for how the kids turn out. and we know it’s not all on the mother how kids turn out that’s a very sexist view.
Seasmoke chose Addam because he looked and smelled similar to Leanor😂😂😂thats why he "chose" him. It wasnt really choosing though, seasmoke just mistook him for Leanor
Not all the blame on Alicent. Viserys was not a father to them. He was focused on the past, Rhaenyra & was sick. Alicent was their main parent. And she is closet to her children's age than their father's, she was focusing on ruling & not having her parents the way that she should've unfortunately.
Alicent does feel like she was at fault for how her sons turned out, her conversation w Gwayne saying "is it the court or it is their mother". And yes tbf she is part at fault but the thing is Aemond and Aegon are already resentful kids because Viserys don't even give them attention. Like it was only Alicent who was fighting for Aemond because Viserys wouldn't even scold Luke and Jace but was so quick to get angry at Aegon. Alicent cares for her son but she had them only as her duty to the realm so there is a disconnect. She does her best to protect them but she can't offer them the comfort of a mother
I find it funny that a lot of people including you two dislike the Harrenhall scenes when IMO these scenes have been some of the best scenes of this season. It seems the both of you an a lot viewers don't understand what character development is. All of the harrenhall scenes we got before have lead up to the scenes we get in this episode with Daemon breaking down with his BROTHER !! Seriously one of the biggest crime of GOT was the fact they(the showrunners) cut out the magic of the old gods, and now we're FINNALY seeing it on this show. 🤔
We stated in the video that we just thought it was being overdone. We loved the scenes in this episode. But we thought too much time was spent on it in a very short season. And the scene with his mum in the last episode was diabolical
The show running on a transparent image is difficult to tell what's happening in lots of scenes. I've never seen anyone else use this technique before.
Another good episode to develop more of team green and the corlys bastards sons. What in the hell was that rhaenyra and white worm scene? Looks like daemon will FINALLY get an army soon and hopefully the blacks will strike soon. The Greens are so intriguing with their complex relationships. Alicent and Criston have a silent goodbye of things not said. We get more info about Daeron and how his personality is. We get larys and his bond with aegon while failing to manipulate Aemond. Aemond who is cold and calculating and trying to take the fight to the blacks to face daemon and the river lords. Another moment that I like is the goodbye to criston it says a lot without saying nothing. The way they both look at each or glance at each when the others back is turned says a lot about their relationship. Definitely a well built up episode.
Left out the words of Jason, left out most of Aemonds talks and left out the nicest scene of season two gwayne was so sweet about Daeron why not show it?
But it removes a fan favourite character and one of my personal favourite characters and plot especially her relationship with daemon which I personally believe is a loss for the series unless she shows up in season 3 and claims one of the other 2 most known wild dragons with how far diverging from the book it appears to be going. Would be wild if she is in the show with her dragon being the one that really really loves other dragons lol. If indeed what you say which I'm starting to agree with is done in a good way I won't hate it but I still want to see nettles with her being such a good character
@@christopherpage2622 i can agree with you to a point it's sad that they are removing nettels but i always wanted to see more of rhaena so i'm happy with that change only if it’s done in a good say as You said:)))
Nah it's fine, Unhealthy power dynamics are only okay if it is a woman ! Also I guess Rhaenyra hearing of Mysaria's inc*st domestic r*pe story kinda turned her Targaryen ass on 😂
Not really, it makes a lot of sense . Rhaenyra had a thing for Alicent in season 1, and mysaria has been there for her during a stressful time while Daemon is gone. Also if you know how the story goes, adds to certain things that happen later on !
They were teasing this for ages now, makes perfect sense since they are the only two in the show right now who ACTUALLY trust each others, I genuinely don’t understand how that seemed so sudden for you all 🫠
@@tho_ct yeah, honestly, I wonder if people even enjoyed long form storytelling of s1-3 of GoT. Like this was never a show about bangers and cliffhangers every episode.
@@dbmac97he does they skipped every battle possible, no burning mill, no duskindale, we had 1 sword fight lol and it’s suppose to be a civil war. We don’t even get a criston cole fight 💀
Oh my God you do not understand what filling out characters filling out story lines might mean for the upcoming episodes you expect it to be fucking fireworks from the first minute on that is not how this works. You have to fill out characters you have to fill out story lines or those big scenes don’t mean as much. The fact that you’re bitching like this, then go back and read the books and leave the rest of it alone those of us, that, like to see a book, turned into big screen. I understand that it takes a while to build up the characters to build up the scenes to build up the world before it explodes of the ant, if you don’t understand that you should stick with the books and stay away from the big screen for HBO Cinemax because you’re not getting the whole point of building, these people out building these cities out building the story up that is all part of that before you get into the big exploding ends of things How do you not understand that I don’t get that. I’ve read the books. I’m willing to wait for the storyline to be built up and the characters to be built out and everything to happen. If you’re not you don’t have any stamina or you don’t have any patience at all.

For Aegon i agree but for Aemond, we clearly see that he has mommy issues. The brothel girl is an older women that he craves motherly love from and i mean even Vaghar is an older female dragon. I dont think its random.
@@SlavYuriy when the boys were teens viserys was definitely well enough to walk around, talk etc. he had more than enough time to be a parent and make them feel loved, but he didn’t.
"Aegon turned to revelry." No. Aegon turned to sexually assaulting the young maids in the Keep.
"If he starts to make out with Viserys" 😂 I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to that, honestly 😏
Mysaria is filling more than one Daemon void lul
Didn't Viserys say that Rhaenyra was his only child? also he didn't give a fuck when Aemond lost an eye. So, we should blame on him as well for not caring about his children since the show doesn't seem to deepen on that, maybe because they don't want to affect people's perception about Viserys' character.
GOT has never ended a season on a battle-cliffhanger, so I doubt that will happen now. I think the next episode is gonna be an insane Harrenhal-battle, and the finale is gonna be set-up for the next stage in the war, with Aemond doing something crazy and Rhaena snagging that wild dragon. I think the burned sheep indicate that it's Sheepstealer lol (although all dragons seem to like sheep).
this episode almost gave me a heart attack because one of my buddy told me this season only have 6 episode😭
It's not 8?
It is 8. Google is your friend.
Don’t worry it’s 8, so we still have two more
@@davisiotta489 it's 8. That's why it's "almost" gave me a heart attack 😂
@@Xionize yeah i googled it instantly after watching the episode, glad i did that
i love how they made seasmoke choose addam that way probably because seasmoke missed his original rider sir leanor, but this also means that leanor is dead💀
I think that’s why Seasmoke has been restless - Laenor died
I would like the scene if they left out Team Black coming up with the idea. I think them talking about it and then it happens accidentally 1 day later for the first time in history is just bad writing.
@@sandmand4036I disagree. Seasmoke immediately sought out a rider after the failed attempt because he's been restless the whole season, plus he's being eyeing Adam back in the first (or second?) episode, the build up was there
@@simonriley4131 I'm okay with Seasmoke seeking out Addam I think youre just misunderstanding my point.
Episode should've been called Seasmoke the Troll and Rhaneyra the Queera. Which I am in support of, she's been giving me queer vibes all along I just didn't think it'd actually go there!
Her and Alicent definitely had a thing for each other back when they were teens, that had to be the subtext of season one
@@simonriley4131 It was more giving intimate female friendship to me but I can definitely see the queer subtext perspective as well
About the cut in Alicent`s arm: George`s work just rimes, always rimes.
Having your mother present but not getting the love/care you deserve despite her being *able* to do it, hurts and impacts you alot worse than having a mother and not getting the love/care you need from her, but having her be unable to because of distance, effects you differently.
TB is the ones that blocking food from coming in. It is a smart chess move from TB, but they are the ones that is stopping the Smallfolk from receiving food. Nothing either Aemond or Aegon could do unless they destroy Coryls blockade, that's stopping food from coming into Kings Landing. Aemond has mentioned a plan to destroy the blockade when he was talking to Tyland.
TB?? Tuberculosis ?? 🤨 Google is giving me the same answer I had.
By the same logic is TG's fault because they started the war knowing full well thousands of innocents would die XD
What he is trying to establish is that, from Aegon or Aemonds point of view they can't do anything about the food until the blockade is dealt with, so it is disingenuous to hold them responsible for not providing food, like the have an enormous amount to provide on standby. TB orchestrated it that way.
To add on to your comment, I thought the show established enough how the reason for why the war started no longer matters as the mentions from Aemond killing Luke to Luke taking Aemonds eye. But TB and TG definitely each had their parts to play, from Otto's scheming, to Daemon being Daemon, to Rhaenyra's bastard situation , to Alicents wedding to Viserys and so forth.
The narrative was that the middle/upper class and the crown were hoarding resources because of the blockade. So technically KL does have enough food for everyone till the blockade is ended and the crown could use their power to make it illegal to hoard or to help distribute the resources until they deal with the blockade.
@@GustavoCardoso95that's not the same logic though
Mysaria is filling a void left by Daemon and Rhaenys for Rhaenyra.
To be fair it wasn’t Rhaenyra’s idea to send food, it was Mysaria’s and to be quite frank it was a pretty stupid one. They really just gambled boat loads of food hoping the current wouldn’t wash it away.
Viserys was seen on camera giving aegon wine as a 2 year old and now aegon has a severe alcohol problem. Somehow you guys never mention viserys as also being responsible for how aegon and aemond turned out. all you do is blame alicent for how the kids turn out. and we know it’s not all on the mother how kids turn out that’s a very sexist view.
Seasmoke chose Addam because he looked and smelled similar to Leanor😂😂😂thats why he "chose" him. It wasnt really choosing though, seasmoke just mistook him for Leanor
the same parallel btwn rhaenyra & dameon can be seen with addam & allyn too.
Not all the blame on Alicent. Viserys was not a father to them. He was focused on the past, Rhaenyra & was sick. Alicent was their main parent. And she is closet to her children's age than their father's, she was focusing on ruling & not having her parents the way that she should've unfortunately.
21:12 Kind of true tho, Daemon probably would
21:09 I said the same thing hahaha
very nice guitar palying, continue pls
You guys skipped the most important fucking scene. Aegon and Larys
Daemon & Caraxes gonna be in Harrenhal till 2130.
Alicent does feel like she was at fault for how her sons turned out, her conversation w Gwayne saying "is it the court or it is their mother". And yes tbf she is part at fault but the thing is Aemond and Aegon are already resentful kids because Viserys don't even give them attention. Like it was only Alicent who was fighting for Aemond because Viserys wouldn't even scold Luke and Jace but was so quick to get angry at Aegon. Alicent cares for her son but she had them only as her duty to the realm so there is a disconnect. She does her best to protect them but she can't offer them the comfort of a mother
I have to agree with Carlie about the timing of that kiss. It wasn't exactly romantic conversation.
I find it funny that a lot of people including you two dislike the Harrenhall scenes when IMO these scenes have been some of the best scenes of this season. It seems the both of you an a lot viewers don't understand what character development is. All of the harrenhall scenes we got before have lead up to the scenes we get in this episode with Daemon breaking down with his BROTHER !! Seriously one of the biggest crime of GOT was the fact they(the showrunners) cut out the magic of the old gods, and now we're FINNALY seeing it on this show. 🤔
We stated in the video that we just thought it was being overdone. We loved the scenes in this episode. But we thought too much time was spent on it in a very short season. And the scene with his mum in the last episode was diabolical
I always thought Daemon would cheat on Rhaenyra first
The show running on a transparent image is difficult to tell what's happening in lots of scenes. I've never seen anyone else use this technique before.
Another good episode to develop more of team green and the corlys bastards sons. What in the hell was that rhaenyra and white worm scene? Looks like daemon will FINALLY get an army soon and hopefully the blacks will strike soon.
The Greens are so intriguing with their complex relationships. Alicent and Criston have a silent goodbye of things not said. We get more info about Daeron and how his personality is. We get larys and his bond with aegon while failing to manipulate Aemond. Aemond who is cold and calculating and trying to take the fight to the blacks to face daemon and the river lords.
Another moment that I like is the goodbye to criston it says a lot without saying nothing. The way they both look at each or glance at each when the others back is turned says a lot about their relationship. Definitely a well built up episode.
Left out the words of Jason, left out most of Aemonds talks and left out the nicest scene of season two gwayne was so sweet about Daeron why not show it?
In all the reactions people only worry about Helaena. Nobody gives AF about Alicent.
9:33 seasmoke wanted a little bbq
Do you really think season 3 will come out next year?
With alicent, she was a child raising a child she never wanted this either
Day 2 of comnenting to watch Classroom of the Elite
Bruh did you guys forget about oshi no ko s2???
Carlie and Angel please take a look on 86(Eighty six) ANIME
I agree the Rhaenyra + Mysaria was kinda weird. Felt more like a woman having woman's back. But not romantically/
Vote for reaction on Black 🍀🖤😀
👇
20:36 she doesnt care
And from my experience, neighter do marrried women in real life
Hi, I just started watching your HOTD reaction but I can barely see what you're reacting to. The footage is very faint.
20:52
The only person that these scenes should be or who would think are unnecessary are so uptight that they are not reading the room at all
🧡🧡🧡
Aegon caring for the small folks? Best or worst joke I heard so far this season.
You clearly see him in an early episode try to fulfil some of their wishes before Otto stepped in and shut him down.
@@iamayanakuzunoha430 He isn't called the MAGNANIMOUS for no reason ❤️😂
Im pretty sure Alicent said that it might be because of the mother and not the place why her children in kings landing were not kind.
Please React To Classroom Of The Elite
keep an eye on rhaena...this is going to be fun 🐑
But it removes a fan favourite character and one of my personal favourite characters and plot especially her relationship with daemon which I personally believe is a loss for the series unless she shows up in season 3 and claims one of the other 2 most known wild dragons with how far diverging from the book it appears to be going. Would be wild if she is in the show with her dragon being the one that really really loves other dragons lol.
If indeed what you say which I'm starting to agree with is done in a good way I won't hate it but I still want to see nettles with her being such a good character
@@christopherpage2622 i can agree with you to a point it's sad that they are removing nettels but i always wanted to see more of rhaena so i'm happy with that change only if it’s done in a good say as You said:)))
can anyone explain how seasmoke was in chains then not in chains roaming about?
My favorite two scumbag Team Green reactors 😉
Who all thinks the kissing scene was very unnecessary ?!!!
It was weird and completly came out of nowhere
Nah it's fine, Unhealthy power dynamics are only okay if it is a woman ! Also I guess Rhaenyra hearing of Mysaria's inc*st domestic r*pe story kinda turned her Targaryen ass on 😂
Not really, it makes a lot of sense . Rhaenyra had a thing for Alicent in season 1, and mysaria has been there for her during a stressful time while Daemon is gone. Also if you know how the story goes, adds to certain things that happen later on !
they've been shooting longing looks at each other all season, the online tantrum shows how little attention people pay.
They were teasing this for ages now, makes perfect sense since they are the only two in the show right now who ACTUALLY trust each others, I genuinely don’t understand how that seemed so sudden for you all 🫠
Aegon hung 100 rat catchers in public, not sure he’s really a man of the people
Two episodes left and still no progress on the story , this season is crap
EXACTLY
No wonder season 8 of GoT was rushed when people like you can’t have a single episode without a fight…
Pay attention
@@tho_ct yeah, honestly, I wonder if people even enjoyed long form storytelling of s1-3 of GoT. Like this was never a show about bangers and cliffhangers every episode.
@@tho_ctseason 8 was rushed because d&d wanted to do star wars plus they got offered to do 12 seasons and they rejected it
Season 2 has been really boring so far. Can't believe we get 8 episodes every 2 years and they still add fillers
You don’t know what the word filler means
Literally the season with the most character development so far wdym 😭😭
FACTS,I FELT BORED
@@dbmac97he does they skipped every battle possible, no burning mill, no duskindale, we had 1 sword fight lol and it’s suppose to be a civil war. We don’t even get a criston cole fight 💀
Oh my God you do not understand what filling out characters filling out story lines might mean for the upcoming episodes you expect it to be fucking fireworks from the first minute on that is not how this works. You have to fill out characters you have to fill out story lines or those big scenes don’t mean as much. The fact that you’re bitching like this, then go back and read the books and leave the rest of it alone those of us, that, like to see a book, turned into big screen. I understand that it takes a while to build up the characters to build up the scenes to build up the world before it explodes of the ant, if you don’t understand that you should stick with the books and stay away from the big screen for HBO Cinemax because you’re not getting the whole point of building, these people out building these cities out building the story up that is all part of that before you get into the big exploding ends of things How do you not understand that I don’t get that. I’ve read the books. I’m willing to wait for the storyline to be built up and the characters to be built out and everything to happen. If you’re not you don’t have any stamina or you don’t have any patience at all.
i dont like this reaction....so sileince..soR
Hotd will never be on got level and it’s sad especially after this season
