The vision with rheanyra and the dragon is that they are connected to each other and can feel each others pain as the connection is really strong
35:32 is the face and words I always get with I pull it out my pants.
Aemond: I only want your eye.
Vhagar: He can keep his eye.
Well, Aemond is a psycho and still cut Lucerys' eye out of his dead body in the book and seems not to regret what Vhagar did.
@@stepheneastern7661lol that was an exaggeration from the most unreliable narrator in the books
@@stepheneastern7661Second mushroom... Come on, you can't be so naive to believe the nonsense he reports.
@@Andy_252_ Mushroom is a jester. His job is to spew so much bullshit that the truths he speak fly under the radar. The small details of Mushrooms' stories are probably more true than the other two idiots telling the story tbh
@@stepheneastern7661
bruh you really believe mushrooms stories? lol
I think the flashes to Syrax are because Syrax can feel her pain. In episode three Caraxes roared when Damon got hit with the arrow.
Yep. It tells how strong bond is.
@@Noone91875 ha. STRONG
@@josephlipnicki3285 she is Strong's mother.
She have strong lover
She has strong bond with her dragon.
And she is strong.
Everything about rhanyra is strong 😅.
@@josephlipnicki3285 say that again
@@isak2209 she has strong pups too lol
Aemond & Lucerys losing control of their dragons is a call back to Viserys message to Rhaenyra in the first episode that the “idea that they control the dragons is a illusion” Aemond uses Vhagar to scare Luke and their dragons wild instincts took control 🥴 RIP Lucerys & Arrax
And it is very cool, because it makes the dragons into actual characters instead of just tools.
no this is fake aemond the trash is a half targaryen and his dragon is retarded thats why he killed Arrax and Lucerys and Arrax is a dragon and dragons are predators not prey and when the senile vaghar came to attack Arrax didnt want to be a prey to bad he didnt bite the neck of vaghar in that way vaghar would at least bleed allot even if Arrax died
I like this "twist" . It also calls back to Balerion taking Aerea Targaryen to the ruins of Valeria for a year (that is where it is assumed he went anyway). He came back after being missing for a year with a 9' gash and Aerea had hot snake like creatures inside her. Eventually killing her. So there is your precedent. I have a feeling that the next two books (crossing fingers they happen) will answer a bunch of questions about this. This is very much a GRRM thing.
I really enjoy and - tbh - didn't expect that pretty much all of the dialogue is not just there to make the characters 'sound cool/wise' or to progress the plot in a specific scene, but quite often foreshadows events in later episodes
@@SulacoNY Hey, the two are currently watching GoT for the first time on this channel - maybe you could edit your post so they don't get spoiled 😉
The thing to remember is.. that whilst Targaryens bond with their dragons… they aren’t like dogs or horses who do as they’re told… it’s a relationship based on the understanding that the dragon is very much the one allowing the relationship to exist.
Vhagar is a 200 year old war dragon veteran… she wasn’t about to let a 14 year old Arrax just breathe fire at her .. even if Arrax was just panicking and scared and trying to protect Luke.
In the end, the dragons took things into their own claws.
dogs and horses have their own mind too, what are you talking about?
Huh. Dogs and horses sometimes don't do as they're told either. For dogs that's often. The only difference is that they are not the size of an airliner. You can just pull your dog's leash when it groes after another and drag him away. With a dragon you're completely powerless.
''and so began the dancing of dragons''
@@WarKrieg Also, dogs and horses are much more socialized animals, they live in big groups and that's why they're easier
to domesticate. Dragons are more like brown bears. At the top of the food chain and live by themselves.
People also forget that Targaryens weren't a big house in Valyria, that means they probably didn't have the tools to fully control them all the time.
The cuts were real-time of Syrax feeling Rhaenyra's pain. It also highlights why Lucerys and Aemond couldn't fully control their dragons. Arrax felt Luke's fear and Vhaegar felt Aemond's bloodlust and desire for vengeance. Without their emotions in check, commanding words couldn't control the dragons. Contract with Daemon, who is so in touch with Caraxes he can get him to hide behind a rock and emerge at the perfect moment.
We have examples of Rhaenys and Rhaenyra as well. They're in full control of their dragons.
Ofc dragons are animals and dangerous, putting them in the situation Aemond did is asking for things to go wrong. Aemond is responsible.
That look on Rhaenyra at the end omg absolute chills
cringe
@@allround2136 ok edgelord
It was a look of excruciating pain and anger. She talked to Luke not knowing that was the last time.
@@nw2861 not to mention she warn Luke not to engage in fight😢
"The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion. They're a power man should never have trifled with."
-King Viserys I
Matt Smith's acting is IMPECCABLE in this show
Tbh his acting is impeccable always. It’s so cool to see the things he adds and his interpretation of his characters. I wish they would’ve allowed more of his scenes in because in the way grrm says paddy did a better viserys than him… Matt has the ability to give grrm a better daemon even as daemon is his favorite character he’s written.. he’s that good. It’s like the writers dislike that people like him so much because they want it to be equal between the blacks and greens and it’s very clear the blacks are the favorites. But it’s not just daemon.. young rhaenyra was kinda annoying at times but Emma’s rhaenyra is great and her children are great and corlys and rhaenys are great and baela and rhaena are great and see erryck and see Harold and Caraxes and syrax and meleys and seasmoke. And although viserys is dead he’d be on the blacks team as would Laena.. and wherever laenor he is too. Like sorry it can’t be equal…. Especially since the arryns and starks are involved. Nobody on alicent is likable except Helaena and sometimes alicent. Aegon, aemond, Otto, christon, the lannisters, and larys are TRASH
When the casting was first announced there were people on the internet saying how hopeless he'd be, that he didn't look the part. I kept saying, 'He is going to be amazing because he is amazing'. Now it's here I still see comments saying 'Matt Smith, wooden as always'. It's beyond me. Best Doctor, best Daemon.
he's voice is squeaky and doesn't carry authority.. apart from that he's been good 👍
I just keep hoping at some point there's a shot of Daemon in the background eating fish fingers and custard.
@@markharris1125 nah everyone is praising him now, I had already watched him in The Crown, so I already knew he was gonna be great
I thought Daemon choking Rhaenyra was a brilliant and deliberately shocking way to highlight the idea that Dragons are never fully tame. Daemon is 100% Targaryen, a dragon in human skin. His blood and bone is fire and chaos made flesh. I feel Rhaenyra understands this because she doesn’t admonish him or scream for help. Shes not even angry. She’s just surprised that Daemon knew nothing about the Song of Ice & Fire and likely understands for Daemon the fact that his brother didn’t consider him a truly worthy successor is a festering wound on his soul that no sane person should poke. I just feel it’s a deeper moment than just an abusive act.
Very well put, excellent analysis
i just think she didnt react because its common for Deamon to not be that "respectful" to women.
Right, because Daemon would never hurt his wife. Just ask his first one...
@@joshhutton9534 That’s pretty much the opposite of the point I made with my comment.
Well daemon is just erratic megalomaniac and Viserys was right about daemon not being the worthy successor.
The flashbacks were Rhaenyra’s dragon Syrax. The dragon was feeling the pain Rhaenyra was feeling when she was giving birth
It was more of a simultaneous real time reaction than flashback but you 100% right the dragon & dragon riders share an empathetic bond. However as we seen at the end of the episode it doesnt mean the rider & dragon relationship is controlled by only the rider feelings.
I think they showed her dragon reacting to her pain to establish how the riders emotional state impacts how the dragon feels. Later in the episode we see Luke's emotional state was fearful & panicked which effected the dragon's affect. Aemond's emotional state was a mindset filled with anger & revenge so Vhagar likely became aggressive because of that. We seen in an earlier episode that Vhagar was capable of understanding sometimes riders can engage in a playful fight like Daemon & Laena had.
Oh. I'm glad you answered that. I was wondering that myself. I was thinking about metaphors of her "inner dragon". But it's more clear cut. It makes sense. Thanks 👍
@@jasonsadowski1070 i know it was a real time reaction but they called them flashbacks
@@adrianneagoe3652 I didn't mean my comment as a criticism . Your right flashback is the best word to describe a scene like that on film so that everyone knows what your referring to. I was clarifying since Pudgey in the video suggested it could have been a prophetic moment from something earlier or something yet to come.
Viserys was a slave to his omens and potents his relationship with balerion maybe wasnt as close as it could have been as we see daemon doesnt even need to give valyrian commands to caraxes when he was fighting at the stepstones and the dragon felt his pain . It depends kn the rider grrm is very much in perspectives and differing points of view so..
Daemon seems to be the most in sync with his dragon. This is the second time Caraxes is making a dramatic entrance without a noticeable cue
Him and rhaenyra. Cause meleys didn’t feel rhaenys fear and like bust out and go get her. Caraxes and syrax have been the only two to be shown to feel their riders pain other than arrax and Luke cause like… they got ate together. Vhagar didn’t feel laena’s labor that actually was killing her but syrax felt Rhaenyra’s. It’s interesting
That's because Daemon accepts who he is. He's not afraid to be a Targaryen and he knows who he is and what he wants.
Viserys on the other hand was weak and afraid to be a Targaryen. That's why he thinks controlling the dragons is an illusion but he's a fool.
To control a dragon you must first be in control of yourself.
every dragon feel their riders emotions and will but that doesn't mean they completely follow them they still have their own emotions and will as well that's why arrax and vhaegar didn't lesson to their riders because they were full of anger
That dragon Daemon was singing to was Vermithor, the late King Jaehaerys’ dragon. In the current House of the Dragon timeline, he’s the second largest dragon in the world (behind Vhagar, who was around during Aegon’s conquest)
I see people online nerding out about The Cannibal possibly equaling Vhagar in size. Somehow this show came out of nowhere having to follow season eight and now regular people are memorizing dragon facts. It's crazy but I'm not mad about it.
@@Madagon367 yeah but the cannibals size was never really mentioned he's the largest of the wild dragons but it doesn't mean he's bigger than balerion like they keep saying we will just have to wait till season 2
Daemon: *singing*
Vermithor: Damn, I haven‘t heard that song in a while, turn that shit up
here's a little tip to differentiate the twins: Arryk is with Alicent, both names start with the letter A, therefore Erryk is with Rhaenyra
oh my god thank you so much lol
Jup, I knew Arryk is name of the weirdo and Erryk of normal guy. Can't wait to see Cregan Stark BTW
Also Arryk has curly mustache
are they twins in rl or is it just the same actor?
@@MiguelStinson88 they are twins irl
"Prince Lucerys fell broken, to be swollow by the waves.
With his death the war of ravens came to an end, and the war of Fire and Blood began.
(...) Rhaenyra's heart turned black that day."
I love it when Pudgey says “I know” idk why it’s just properly unique! “Anaurrrrrrr” 😂
Me too 🤭😁!!! It's different and cute!!
Alot of Northern Irish people say "now" like that too, mostly like "Nauww" but ive heard "naurrr" also haha.
Remind me of Tyler Warwick's reels hahah, I can't stop thinking about it whenver Pudge's like "or naur" "i knaur" hahah
Quick dragons corrections,
Aegon the Conqueror didn't possess 3 dragons, only one and it was Balerion the black dread, the other two belonged to his two sister-wives, Rhaenys rode Meraxes, and Visenya rode Vhagar.
In this episode we saw the bronze dragon Vermithor that belonged to king Jaehaerys(the grandfather of king Viserys).
Vermithor has been without a rider since king Jaehaerys died.
Vermithor is old, fierce and huge(second largest to Vhagar currently)
It's so fcking stupid on to what will happen to Vermithor and his rider. As well as Silverwing..
isn't the Cannibal bigger?
@@spennyvdubs6448 I wrote currently.
We haven't seen Cannibal yet.
@@spennyvdubs6448 According to the book The Cannibal is bigger. He is almost as huge as Vhagar...
@@luminaratano3935 nowhere in the book does it say this at all vermithor is the 2nd largest dragon as said in the book
You guys are like the only reactors who understood what was going when Daemon choked rhaenyra instead of going “Daemon would never do that this is a terrible scene”
I agree eveey other reactor I've watched has been confused by it. Like..the scene tells the story folks, you just have to pay attention to the subtleties.
@@suddenimpulse030 It's honestly astounding how many people are so shocked and surprised by it, considering he murdered his first wife with no remorse.
@@danielmacdonald9287 "wife"
@@danielmacdonald9287 you dont get it either bruv
watch better reactors/podcasters
The old bearded guy often speaking during the meetings is lord Bartimos Celtigar. Celtigars are the third pure-Valyrian house and direct vassals of Dragonstone, often serving the Targaryens (including Aegon the Conqueror) as masters of coin.
Pudgey: "They can't kill off the kids. There's no way."

Love your guys's recations to HotD and GoT. Keep up the good work.
They haven't even seen the worst of it yet😂😂😂
@@jjfam777an eye for an eye a son for a son
Good call on starting GOT simultaneously with HOTD, your perspective going in this world was truly unique and entertaining to follow. Can't wait for more!
This episode was amazing! And the cliffhanger in the end, ooh… Now Rhaenyra is really ready for war, and rivers of blood will be spilled…
Rivers of blood will be spilled all thanks to the hightowers 😆. They created the black queen.
@@Red-90 mate chill
idk it didnt really feel like a cliffhanger to me.. like it felt like a satisfying end of 1 chapter and the beginning of a new one (the dance of dragons) a cliffhanger would been if they ended right before Aemond chased Luce down.
@@ducksauce9187 Yeah we all know what Rhaenyra will do from now on so it not really a cliffhanger.
@@WarNeverChanges9191 Alicent made an offer that Rhaenyra and her bastards doesn't deserve. She should have accepted it, but Rhaenyra is too powerhungry and used to take everything and everyone if it pleases her no matter the cost. It is all happening because her cu-nt is more important to her then anything else. family or duty. And a lot of people will die just because she wanted to keep it satisfied.
Otherwise they would just married off between each other and nothing would happened.
Emma D'arcy is incredible. It must be so exhausting to put this much passion into their performance, especially considering how many brutal childbirth scenes there are
Especially cause I don’t think Emma has ever had a child so there had to be done research done for both scenes (the one in 6)… I can’t imagine not only pretending to give birth but to give birth like that…. And the way rhaenyra held the baby and the empty and like dead inside look on her face and then the the look at the end on Rhaenyra’s face after he told her about Luke… this episode was Emma’s for sure… they broke my heart so many times in this episode. Emma has been consistently good since episode 6, especially 8 but this was just like top notch. For once daemon actually didn’t steal the show cause rhaenyra was too busy running it ha. And sweet little Luke. And rhaenys was amazing. Her smile of pride watching rhaenyra warmed my heart. I’m not a ‘women support women’ person cause I think people should support people but for this show in this era.. it was lovely to see!!!
I will admit that it took me a while to get used to her, as I love Milly a lot. She always seemed much older than Alicent, as though she had taken two time jumps while everyone else took just one. (I know, I'm terrible.) But over the past couple of episodes she's become her character in my head. The last few moments of this episode were indescribably good.
Apparently the way they shot that was Matt's idea.
I'd love to see Rhaenyra's theme become HotD's theme, it's so beautiful.
too many graphic birth scenes man, apart from that the show is impeccable
@@markharris1125 I know what you mean it's the wrinkles on her face btw I'm a terrible person also 🤣 but you get used to it
This is such a small thing but I love that you guys pause to talk about scenes. Some reactors will talk over episodes and end up missing important stuff.
Always look forward to these reactions and your perspectives!
Otto should get more respect. For the second time this guy went to Dragonstone, without any support, to get into a conflict with Daemon, who has a dragon backing him up and would love to murder him in an instant. Whatever villainous things he has done, Otto has balls of steel.
He might have balls... but what really allows him to do things like that, is his colossal arrogance. And arrogance is something I never respect.
@@Garryck-1 Plus he knows Rheanyra is honorable and would not hurt a messenger.
In the books, they just sent a maester (whivh was the safer/smarter choice)
@@yusufraage8554 No one in universe thinks Rhaenyra is honorable, and they're not wrong about that. The woman literally put baseborn bastards in the line of succession as heirs to the throne. We've seen her lie her way through this season to try to repair the damage caused by her own past mistakes. She has a lot of personality traits, but honor is not one of them.
@@frankvandorp2059 nobody cares not even ser Leanor nor his father Corlys. Except the Hightowers can’t wait for Deamon to unleash hell on them and I hope He gets to behead Otto like the snake he is.
To expand on that Patreon comment - Velaryon (the house) and Valyrian (the culture) are spelt and pronounced differently. House Velaryon is culturally Valyrian. House Targaryen is culturally Valyrian. Valyria was where the ancient Valyrian Empire was based and where Valyrian steel was made and where the language of High Valyrian comes from. There were about 40 Valyrian Houses that could ride dragons called the Dragonlords, and the Targaryens were one of the less powerful and influential (until the "Doom of Valyria" left the Targaryens as the only ones left). There were loads of other more minor noble houses who couldn't ride dragons such as the Velaryons.
LOL, there is actually another house from Old Valyria, it's house Celtigar and they're even mentioned in this episode, but they are so small and insignificant (their sygil is the crab and just like the Velaryons, they can't ride dragons) that nobody really cares about them.
Aegon the Conqueror didn't have three dragons. He had one dragon and two sister-wives each with their own dragon.
It's nice that you're actually reading and taking into consideration the opinions, corrections, and further lore-dump of your audience. It's understandable that you miss or confuse some points and scenes from the show for first-time viewing, we are all like that as well, and it's good we have people that fill us in with those missed details and additional trivias.
The reason why Rhaenera is called the Black Queen is straight from the book. This is not a spoiler saying that to be clear because it comes from the scene when they explained the significance of Alicent wearing the green dress. In the book Alicent shows up in the green dress & Rhaenera is wearing a black dress. From that point on those who support one faction over the other wear the color of the side they chose. In the characters timeline the conflict is known colloquially as the War of the Green & Blacks.
In the subtitles the dragon Daemon wakes is called Verimithor which was King Jaehaerys's dragon the King who we seen in episode 1 he is who Viserys succeeded. No one has claimed him since. Which likely means it has been at least 30 years since he has had a rider. Although I highly doubt "The Old King" had ridden him for many years prior to his death considering he was the oldest & longest reigned King in Westeros history he probably gave up riding 10 or 15 years earlier. As we seen with Viserys not every Targaryen King rode a dragon during their reign. Viserys only ever rode Balerion the Black Dread and he died when Viserys was a young teenager.
Viserys, at 16, mounted and rode Balerion around the city three times. Balerion died soon after. He had several riders in his long lifetime, but only King Aegon the First rode him with any regularity. Vermithor is close to Vhagar and Balerion in size… so if they command him, it will definitely help team Black in the Dance of the Dragons to come. We already know what happens in that war, those of use who have watched all of GOT have been spoilered… but you haven’t gotten to that part yet, so I will stop there.
Lucerys being a sweet and good-mannered boy as shown in the entire episode made his demise extra heartbreaking :(
There’s a lot of talk about “waking the dragon“ in this world, that final shot of Rhaenyra Represents those words in silence. It only gets more insane from here.
“And then the storm broke and the dragons danced”
It's been a pleasure finding you guys for your HOTD and Game of Thrones reactions. Thank you!!
The dragon during Rhae's birthing scene is actually Syrax, her dragon. It's showing how Syrax is feeling Rhae's pain even from a distance. That's how strong their bond is.
They managed to portray Luke so well, I really was touched deeply especially when it was shown how kid like and innocent and loving he is
The dragons are wild animals after all. Arrax was afraid and attacked out of fear. Vhagar responded accordingly
I get chills every time I see that last scene where Rhaenyra is looking straight at us, greens just woke her dragon and I will be here for it

Season 3 Episode 4 of GoT is gonna spoil them for HotD 😂
you are the sword in the darkness, the shield that guards the realms of men
Spartan:
Game of Thrones S1, Episode 9 - "No way Ned dies this early"
HotD S1, Epsidoe 10 - "No way this boy dies"
You're on quite a roll! 😇
😅😅
I was thinking the same. He needs to stop saying that so the character doesn’t die
Have they learnt nothing 😂
Also Spahdun: “I called it.”
Sure you did, mate. 🙄
“ if you think this story has a happy ending, you haven’t been paying attention.”
The bond between Valyrians and Dragons is something "magical" or supernatural. The dragonkeepers command the dragons, feed them and watch them without beeing devoured. Like Humans and Horses. But only the Dragonlords can ride them and make this emotional bond. A Human can only really bond 1 Dragon at the time, but he can interact with every Dragon the same way the Dragonkeepers do.
I love how perceptive Pudgey is 🥰
It's cute to see everytime Startan Saying, " There is no way he dies!! "😂😂😂, Knowing what will happen😂
I like how you guys do like pause discussion to process information, great reaction
Aemond has activated the Rinnegan, The 7 kingdoms shall know pain.
Aemond on Vagar next season
"and now..... ALMIGHTY DRACARYS"
The dragon you kept getting a clip of was Rhaenyras, when filly bonded they feel the pain of their rider, or at least sense the emotional stress 😔
A map of Westeros is really helpful, specially when trying to figure out the 7 kingdoms and their governing houses
it was not a flashback it was Syrax feeling Rhaenyra's pain.
I watched the ending and was sad, but watching Pudgey react brought tears to my eyes! So glad I found you guys and am enjoying rewatching GoT with you guys as well!! Fun watching fresh reactions.
Poor Rhaenyra lost her father, lost her baby due to miscarriage and lost one of her sons in a matter a few days 😭😭😭 her birthright was also stolen from her. Rhaenyra has good reason to burn all the bloody greens.
It wasn't her birthright
@@samiam1059 it was, casual.
She wasn't with father for years, while Alicent was. Her miscarriage happened because of her, or more likely her powerhunger. Her bastard son would be lost one way or another, it is what happens with bastards you try to pass as ligitimate. It was her own doing, because her cu-nt is more important to her then her kids or duty.
She lost her right when she mothered three bastards. It's disgusting abomination in her position, and she is not payed for her treasonous crimes, only because she is spoiled brat that can do anything she wants and noone will dare to question her. And if someone tell the truth, her family usualy kills them or hurt them.
The dragon and their riders have a strong connection. Syrax felt Rhaenyra's pain during the birth scene. You can see her growl and snarl out of pain.
"The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion," : King Viserys.
From total excitement into total distress in one episode... Loved your reaction to that, it was a hell of an episode and the whole season was really well written, loved everything about it!
Greetings from Germany
I started laughing when Pudgey said she explained to Spartan about Old Valyria and House Velaryon. Pudgey is on the ball! lol
Pudgey smiled as Spartan came to the realization. You better keep her close Spartan! lol
Man this was such an amazing episode to end off a great first season!! sucks we have to wait 2 years for another season, luckily we still have your GoT reactions to hold us over for the next 8 or so months.
I've been watching your video for 24 minutes and you are the first to show a positive vote for Deamon and not be surprised by his attitude. Excellent guys, you haven't forgotten the nature of the character until now.
also have to understand that not only is Rhaenyra losing things, but also deamond and her character is extremely aggressive, she always was. My heart breaks every time I see Luke and Arrax come out of Dragonstone. Two babies had to die for Rhaenyra to understand that she was at war. sad
I hope you see GOT more often, I need it.
It's a shame neither Otto, Daemon or Rhaenyra started off that conversation with "we've got to stop meeting like this"
Average marvel dialogue
@@bloat1235 yes and i hate tht😅
That would take away the seriousness of the moment
Let fans write! Look at the masterpieces we would get
sarcasm if anyone is in doubt lol
Why would they say that? Why? Theyve only met like that twice, and theres never been bloodshed or violence. U buffoon. U prolly love they fly now writing
I love the way you guys chat about the show in the introduction section. I enjoy it as much as the actual reaction part
It's been a very unique experince as a viewer too, watching you guys get introduced both GoT and HoT D in tandem. Love these reactions, keep it up!
Just wanted to point out: Daemon focusing on the war effort over being with Rhaenyra is probably him intentionally avoiding Rhaenyra, since he was so traumatized by Laena’s difficult birth and subsequent death in Pentos.
Or being forced to make the call his brother did
the wild dragon was vermithor "the Bronze Fury", it was ridden by Jaehaerys I, the grandfather of Viserys. I think Daemon checked up on him because he was riderless for ca 30 years and probably lonely. And Daemon tried not to tame Vermithor but get him used to humans again. You can't bond with more than one dragon as a rider. Danys dragons just view her as their mother.
Finally one of few reaction that understands rhaenys and daemon action in eps 9-10.
The Targaryens of Old Valyria were one of the 40 families that were dragon lords, whom King Viserys I said earlier were the “highest of the nobility.” Meaning, there were lower nobility who weren’t dragon riders. The Valeryons were likely among that lower nobility class-likely for their naval prowess, as KVI said Old V had a thousand dragons and a “navy that stretched across the known world (paraphrasing).”
Kudos for actually having and voicing an opposite opinion on "Rhaenys scene" in 1x9, a lot of content creators, reactors specifically, tend to go with comments opinion about this type of scenes and not disagree with their audience (some part of their audience), not saying reactors should always be in disagreement with their audience, that would be weird, just saying it's a pretty rare thing
As for "feet scene", tbf as a person who doesn't have a lot of experience with niche kinks like foot fetish, I also thought she was just making herself comfortable, taking socks off, you know xD
Ofc on rewatch it's pretty clear from the start, especially because of how their conversation is structured
The scene where daemon chokes rhaenyra is to show how unpredictable daemon is
I love your take on Daemon choking. There's a lot of emotions. He's upset his brother never told him the prophecy, so it confirms for Daemon that Viserys never felt he was the heir, also he thinks Rhaenyra is being too weak. He thought she was more like himself and he fears he "married his brother" after she is very patient/level headed. good take guys.
EDIT ALSO: He has seen Otto Hightower take and take and take for decades, Otto won't stop unless they stop him and Rhaenyra isn't. Thats the last thing it's a whole mess of emotions. (not defending his actions but thats my best guess on the rationale)
Daemon also believes his brothers "weakness" and his refusal to lean on Daemon for strenght led him to his demise (and allowed leeches to takeover).
So seeing this in Rhaenyra is frustrating because another one of his loved ones is repeating the same mistakes(from his point of view).
@@miraakprinceofapocrypha7998 Yes, I agree. But, I am fairly certain he won't feel that way any more due to the events of this episode. Her face at the end was: There Will Be No More Peace.
@@rhaenyralikesyoutube6289 oh yeah, definitely. He’ll have to hold her back probably
from what i got, the flashes of syrax during rhaeneyra's birth kind of hints that the dragons have a mental/emotional bond with their riders, and can feel their feelings too. That goes further with lucerys and aemond, with arrax being on edge and scared, like lucerys was, and vhaegar feeling aemond's anger and hatred for lucerys, aemond knew he couldnt kill lucerys but vhaegar didnt' as a war dragon, and when arrax shot out of fear, vhaegar retaliated as t knew how to. Viserys hinted earlier how its an illusion that they dont actually control their dragons.
Alicent loves her children as much as Rhaenyra does. They're not just political chess peices for her. But because of the situation, Aegon being King, as Alicent views it, is the best way to protect their lives. You saw her push away Ser Criston and moved forward to put herself in between the dragon and Aegon. Obviously she loves Aegon very much.
And now the long wait begins. At least you have the rest of GoT to help with the wait.
Literally, unlike us who had to wair years between all the seasons only to have our hearts crushed towards the end xD
I really like your reactions and how you'll pause to figure things out. I also love your accents😉😂♥️
aemond killing lucerys by mistake reminds me of cersei's line to jaime in game of thrones "at least our brother killed our father on purpose, you killed him by mistake" lol
The dragon Daemon sings to is Vermithor. Vermithor’s last rider was king Jaehaerys Targaryen. King Jaehaerys is the grandfather of King Viserys. Vermithor is also the second largest dragon alive behind Vhagar.
Best episode ever.. the emotions, the acting, the visuals, the Music… off the charts. 10/10
Really great idea watching both Seasons together. So happy you both had an enjoyable experience. What a show! 👏🏾
You guys are the best reactors for HOTD and now GOt. I always look forward to your uploads. So happy to see you guys understand the details of both shows, that's what makes the GOT universe different from most other shows/worlds.The long wait for season 2 is mainly due to the dragons and the CGI which takes a long time apart from actual shooting time. Btw Pudgey is such an intuitive viewer! Hats off to you both!
❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼
The subtitles reveal that the dragon Daemon sang to was Vermithor, king jaehaerys old dragon, the king before Viserys. Vermithor is the second largest dragon in the world at this point second only to Vhagar and is known as "The Bronze Fury". And the dragon in the birth scene is Syrax, Rhaenyras dragon, it probably felt her pain since they are bonded, it is unclear to what extent the bond between a rider and its dragon is seeing as it seems like Deamon can almost summon caraxes wordlessly when he wants to bring him out.
When Daemon grabbed her by the throat, I almost with Rhaenyra had said, "Put a hand on me again and that's the last time you have hands."
I stumbled upon your channel randomly when i was rewatching League of Legends Worlds ceremonies and im very glad i did.
Watching your reactions to The Boys, HotD and GoT has been amazing thank you.
the dragon Daemon sang to was Vermithor - The previous king that we saw in the 1st episode's dragon - king Jaeharys - the gratest king
There are no throwaway lines in this series, everything is significant, that's good writing. I also agree with you re Rhaenys, Alicent said she would await her reply, that was it, she was saying 'I'm a dragon riding princess, not a pawn in your game, i command respect.'
Just for a bit of extra lore, although Vhagar is definitely the most experienced Dragon, fighting in many conflicts, Caraxes is also experienced himself, fighting in the fourth Dornish War and the Myrish Bloodbath conflict on Tarth with his first rider - Aemon Targaryen (Daemon's uncle). Caraxes then of course fought later with Daemon in the war of the stepstones which we seen in the show. So Caraxes is no slouch and was always known to be a very ferocious Dragon.
I will miss your HOTD reactions so much guys! Thankfully GOT follows. I appreciate your comments and your way of understanding characters'motives. Especially, Daemon ☺️ a fascinating one, with both Mixes of "good" and "Bad" combination.
I couldn't be more happier that you guys are doing GoT reactions. Now that HotD is over, I'm so excited to rewatch GoT through your reactions - it's been a blast so far! I haven't seen the earlier episodes since they aired, so I've forgotten a lot of the details.
Great reactions and discussions, I'm looking forward to the future GOT reactions.
I don't know exactly what the dragon flashes were during Rhaenyra's childbirth, but my impression was that they were there to indicate her connection to her dragon. That her dragon was feeling her pain in that moment.
Pudgey's got it yet again
Daemon saying "let's end this mummers farce" is what Otto said to him on that first meeting in Dragonstone.
Spartan I’d advise maybe watching with subtitles - the houses Targaryen and Velaryon or from old Valyria, which was where most of the dragons were located in Essos. They came over to Westeros with dragons and Aegon the Conqueror was able to take over most of the kingdoms (all except Dorne).
Valyria (ruined city) vs Velaryon (house), the names are similar but pronunciation would help for clarity.
Subs with sound description is the best way to watch.
they were a lot of dragon riding families in Valyria but they died during the doom, so not only Targeryans had dragons, it's just Aegon and his sisters were the only ones that survived because of a dream, they flied to Dragonstone.
i think it's explained in History and Lore video
you should take a look on the map, Valyria is not a continent, it's in Essos.
Tnx for reacting!
LOVED your reactions!!! Can’t wait for 2024
I absolutely loved your reactions to this series! Thank you! Rewatched it with you!
Both Aemond and Luke lost control over their dragons. The feelings of the riders do transfer to their dragons. Luke was scared and nervous which transferred to Arrax which is why it tried to save his rider by firing at Vhaegar. Vhaegar on the other hand is a 200 year old war dragon. She can not be tamed just like that. Aemond did claim that dragon but I don't think he had considered her any more than just an uber ride. I don't think he bonded with vhaegar like he really cared for her. While Vhaegar's previous riders Visenya and Laena loved her. The bond between the dragon and the rider has to be very strong to be able to control it. Example - Daemon and Caraxes, Rheanyra and Syrax. The flashback we get during the birth scene was Syrax feeling the pain of Rheanyra. In episode 3 when Daemon was shot with an arrow on his shoulder, Caraxes was screaming with pain as well. There is something different about Daemon's bond with Caraxes. Daemon breathes and Caraxes knows what to do. Remember in episode 1, at the end, Daemon was literally embracing Caraxes and showing his affection towards him. That's why their bond is much stronger.
Please more Game of Thrones reaction. Breaks are too long beetween 2 episodes.
agreed for sure
Oh my gosh I love you guys you’re so positive vibes great stuff love from New Zealand
Amazing reaction; I love how you guys genuinely react and share your thoughts. Keep it up!
I don't blame Rhaenyra for sending her son Lucerys to storms end, storms end is very close and the chances for Aemond to have been there was very small, Aemond could have easily been at House Stark or at the Tally's instead. I think it is just pure bad luck that Aemond happened to be there already. If any of the other greens was at storms end none of this would happen because the realm was still in peace that also why Rhaenyra sent her children because the realm still in peace and they were send as messengers not as negotiators or as warriors. Neither Daemon and Rhaenys was able to go instead because they had there own errands to run. So sad that Aemond and Lucerys both lost control over their dragons. And if Aemond did not tease Lucerys then none of this shit would have happened. Aemond just started a war and he knows it.
That’s partial what his expression is. The other half is him knowing exactly who coming after him.
@@dragonstouch1042 that's true but even his mother is going to be very pissed
@@WarNeverChanges9191 I’m pretty sure even Otto is going to be mad. The Hightowers might be vying for power, but they are bound to the law and Aemond just committed at least two to three major atrocities I’m pretty sure.
@@dragonstouch1042 pretty sure they not bound to the law 🤣🤣🤣🤣 they broke the law the moment they lied about Aegon been Viserys succesor and when they killed innocent people who stood up for Rhaenyra. They also broke law by forcing people into the dragon pits for a unlawful coronation.
@@dragonstouch1042 but yeah I think Otto wont be pleased by Aemond's actions.
Greetings from Malta! Really liked your reaction and explanations, keep it up :)
For the record, Vhagar is not just Daemon's late wife's former dragon, Vhagar was also ridden by his (and Viserys') father. Rhaenys' dragon, Meleys, that she rode when she busted through the coronation, was previously ridden by Daemon's & Viserys' mother. And Rhaenys' father was the prior rider of Caraxes, Daemon's dragon. Vermithor, the big dragon Daemon visits in the end, was the dragon of the Old King, from the first episode, who reigned before Aegon.
First season allready over.. i miss this so much, this was such a good show..
Maybe got a short 10 Eps Show, to replace HotD👍❤. (And once im on patreon, blast a full list your way)
For now. Here is that short show.
°The Haunting of Hill House. (10 Eps)
❤❤❤
Ray.
It wasn't flashback. it was her dragon she was feeling Rhaenrya's pain too. because they are bonded and Rhaenyra is dragon.
Indeed and it could also metaphorically presents the book description of Rhaenyra’s daughter which was born with scaled skin and a tail like a dragon (call back to Daenerys also giving birth to a ‘dragon baby’ in GOT).
you guys are awesome. its been great watching this and GOT with you guys!! can't wait for you guys to get thru GOT!
