My favourite part of the episode is Simon strong surrendering IMMEDIATELY. That was so hilarious 😂
Daemon :I'm claiming harre.....
Simon strong: say less let's go team black
“I’m claiming Harrenhal”
“By all means sit down, you’re just in time for dinner”
I think Rhaena was hurt when Rhaenyra told her she was leaving because she was thinking of the conversation with her mother in season 1 where she asked Laena if she was going to be allowed to stay even though she didn't have a dragon. The actor's performance with their facial expressions was spot on with the disappointment that anyone would feel in that moment.
For your information, Rhaena's actor, Phoebe Cambell, is non-binary. They really did do a very good job conveying complicated emotions in their two scenes regarding Rhaena's departure. The throughline that you pointed out from when she was young is very on point, and I think it's going to play a big role in her journey going forward.
@@aria1347 Thank you for the correction. I went ahead and edited my comment
@@elizabethrhodes518 No problem. You are so kind!
I like how they’re showing the dissent between Alicent and Cole. Now he’s hand the dynamic between them as shifted to one where he now thinks he’s in charge. Alicent knows that that this won’t work between them because he’s now just another man trying to take charge of her. When he asked for the favour you can’t tell he wasn’t really asking. And with all the people around, Alicent wasn’t really going to object. But when she gives it to him and tries to caress her hand with him thumb she instantly pulls away from him.
Ewan Mitchell is carrying team green for me. I LOVE that he walked out fully nude not because it's sexually appealing, but because he just armored himself. The way Tyrion told Jon to wear what he is like armor, Aemond just put on his armor. It was such a great scene
WHAT I LIKED👍 :
_Gwayne Hightower and Criston Cole(love their Dynamic)
_Harrenhall looks like those castles in horror video games!
_Baela and Moondancer scene
WHAT I DISLIKED👎:
_The taking of Harrenhall was too easy (even in the Book)
_They ruined Dreamfyre's eggs theory (Well now that Martin said that their are book canon and show canon, it doesn't matter anymore)
_ The Septa Rhaenyra part made little sense and Alicent letting her go, OMG!
_Rhaenys keep playing her mother Teresa while she have smashed hundred of innocents with no remorse.
CHARACTER I DISLIKED🤬:
_ None in this episode
6/10 the worst ep out of the three.
I was so ready for Sunfyre in this episode, too bad they will show him in the same episode that he.....****😓
45:23- was i the only one COMPLETELY SHOCKED by how much of a little girl alys sounded like? like i sooooo wasn’t prepared for that shit 😂😂😂
Love the video 💚💚 The scene with Aemond and Aegon was even more egregious to me because we've been shown that this was Aemond's only "safe space" and Aegon invaded that and ruined that. Aemond no longer has a place that he can be vulnerable.
I'm waiting to see what the fallout from this will be like for both brothers
Although as audience we may find it redundant & annoying at times that Rhaenyra tries different avenues to end the war, last episode really made me understand how important this prophecy is to her, & most importantly to the memory of her father. Although we're going to see the tragedy, in the end, Rhaenerya will be fulfilling the prophecy & honoring her father's memory through her line - Daenerys. Thank you for all your amazing content! 🐲🔥
So glad you're on YT. You outgrew TT with all these good takes and theories
I love your point about the Harrenhal dream being the turning point for Daemon. He’s really taking it seriously now that he’s had a Targ dream of his own, when he used to Pooh Pooh Viserys for being a “slave to his dreams and portents”.
I don't really mind the battle not being shown. Alot of battles aren't really described in the books and I think it makes the ones that are shown more impactful.
Thank you! I can’t explain how much I love to listen to your content!! Im ur biggest fan ❤
Love your videos!! This was the best episode yet! Can’t wait for episode 4 😏🐉🔥
Harrenhal was 100% best part of the episode! thanks for another breakdown :DD
I love your content here and on TikTok! Thank you❤❤❤
I think it was brilliant of rhaenyra to go to the extreme in pursuit of peace, not only does it show the difference between her and aegon, it shows she's taking things seriously, you can see how she feels for haelena losing a child, she's probably thinking lots of mothers will lose her sons in this war, a family dispute has spread into the realm, look at the burning mill for example. This 3rd episode is the end of her hesitation i think, .. war has consequences and it makes me happy to see rhaenyra taking it seriously and understanding the amount of bloodshed dat may be spilled ....rhaenys is showing us just how much the realm has missed of her been a queen, shes very intelligent and the was she carries herself omg, its beautiful. This episode was done so well, they are setting up things property
I think Helena’s forgiveness is a bit more complex. It’s clear that the Greens question Helena’s mental health and intellect. They clearly don’t acknowledge her abilities. By offering forgiveness she’s doing more than just forgiving her. She is also making it clear that she is aware of what Alicent was doing and that what she was doing was wrong. I’m not sure that Alicent grasped that was something Helena was fully capable of understanding.
My absolute favourite GOT/HOTD creator!! You always give such excellent insights! Can't wait till next week! 😁
Thanks for another great video! I would like to know what Alicent fully intended by the: Aemond…you know what he is.” Comment. Understandably, a great warrior, but was there more to that then we know.
29:34- idk why but- TO ME ✨P E R S O N A L L Y ✨- the way alicent reacted to helaena forgiving her almost was like she was offended. like she thinks she hasn’t done anything to helaena that would require forgiveness from helaena.
I got the notification and immediately went to see your take. 😊😊🎉🎉
I found you on TikTok and now you are my go to for all info GOT. TY!
I love your tick tock videos but these r longer and il be watching them all 😂🥰
Hey!! Couldn’t be first but I’m here now😂 anyway this ep was good, it’s just the end really caught me off guard. I kind of did not like how they made Rhaenyra and Alicent meet again, idk it just didn’t feel right. War is about to start and not to mention Rhaenyra son, Luke was killed by Alicent son. Where’s the anger? Where’s the rage? Where is that Rhaenyra we last saw after finding out her son was killed?? Other then that, it was a great ep😁lol
Absolutely love your videos 🫶🏻
I'm listening to fire and blood for the first time.... better late then never!! 😂. I'm so curious to see how the show will take the caracters going forward. Some chapters are hard to listen to.... so I imagine they will be even harder to watch...
I was waiting for your recap video, yesterday all day I was in my YT refreshing your channel 🤣🤣🤣 there’s so much ppl saying they don’t like the ep but I really like it because shows us the reality of the world as well, you cannot going through the war for the very small thing that happen to you, you have to use all the pacific methods first and the last thing you considered it’s the war, and I think that what rhaenyra did ❤
Someone explain to me why Aemond is not called a kinslayer literally his nickname in F&B but Rhaenyra is??😢😢
Yay another episode recap. Please lady historian give us lore deep dives!
I wonder if rhaena even tried bonding to the older dragons or was she too scared to even approach in fear of being killed trying.
Jace is about to go off in these next episodes, he was giving side eyes to Rhaenyra through whole episode 3
7:30 tbf we don't really know what's in the letters Alicent is sending. They could be apologies, or pleas for peace. Something that must have given Rhaenyra the idea that Alicent is open to a parley so that she has some sort of confidence to try talking with her at the end.
I also rewatchrd viserys death episofr he also mentions the words "song ot ice and fire" so when dhe hears rhaengra also say these word's she knows full well that she had only been deluding herself. In the behind the scenes even showeriters said Rhaenyra in this scene is showing how much she cares for her people (smallfolk" she is willing as sovereign to put herself in harms way to try and have a chance of saving the lives of thousands. "A true Queen counts the cost of her people" -words by alicent hightower.
Yet people are still defending the greens.
Rhaenyra is the only one who tried EVERYTHING in her power to keep the realm from tearing itself apart. She doesnt want to be Queen for the sake of power she believes it is the duty entrusted to her by her father and ancestors to protect the realm against what will eventually come. The greens aegon alicent otto they want it for power
Before this episode I didn’t process that Alicent truly thought this was he late husbands last wish I thought she just wanted he son to be king. I guess for me this episode really humanized Alicent for me even though she doesn’t do anything with the info she was given.
In my opinion I would of rather seen more of the battle of the burning mill than Alicent and Rheanyra get together because I didn’t feel like that scene was necessary, but it was still interesting to watch. Can’t wait for the next episode
I’m really interested by Alicent point of view. Like she said no going back. What does she thinking going to happened ? Does he allow to think that family members will still die on both sides? Does she think that the army and dragons will won this war and her children are safe? It's so stupid that she doesn't think of peace like Rhaenyra.
I honestly think Alicent had a crush on Cole bc he was the knight in shining armor and she got stuck with a literal zombie.
The most King in Westeros history -Aegon 2 😂
He is really the highlight of this season.
dang you didn’t mention jace at all :(
Yep it seems Jace is bothered by the way Rhae Rhae is handling the situation.
For a second i really thought Alicent was going to change up cos she found out she was wrong. Alas i was wrong.
I think she's knows that she's wrong but there's nothing she can really do to stop it. If her son's and the small council won't listen to her when she's on their side, they're not gonna listen to her when she tells them to give up the throne.
@@KeeshiexAsh No matter what Aegon was still going to be on the throne, Alicent even said it in 1x6 "You will be our king". Alicent is just a liar.
@@marcg549That was before ep.8 when she told Nyra that she will make a fine queen, which means she changed her mind. It was that dumb prophetie that complicated all of this. Also she knows that Aegon, who lost his son, won't listen, nor would Aemond and Cole.
This Aegon prophecy is a hindrance to the plot and is only here to show the bias toward Rhaenyra's side.
Because it's the only side to be on. Rhaenyra is the Rightful heir and Aegon is the usurper.
@@KeeshiexAshNo way, even Condal said that Aegon is more legitimate.He explained in a podcast that Aegon has more claim by Jahaerys council, westeros laws and andal traditions. Rhaenyra's only argument is "I am the heir because my father said it was me" Condal's own words lmao, then he goes on to say that the lords are just bounded by their oath or their fathers oath but they know that Aegon has more claim.
But the show favors team black alot. And it seems Martin is desappointed by the show and even said now that the show canon is different to the Book canon.
@@KeeshiexAshRhae Rhae lost any claim the day Aegon was born.
