Actually, the Velaryons weren’t dragon riders in old Valyria. They moved to Driftmark, an island off Westeros, so they had easier access to trade between Westeros and Valyria before Valyria was destroyed. The Targaryen’s are the last dragon riders. The reason why Laena and Laenor can ride dragons is because their mother is Rhaenys Targaryen!
Another reason why they interbreed so much, they don’t want their children to lose the connection to the dragons.
Spot on!
I thought that was the case.
But then I’m so confused, because some of them are immune to fire, but then some aren’t???
@@beepboop8973 None of them are immune to fire. Most have some slight resistance to heat/fire, Dany survives the fire only when the magic ritual is made. Beside a dragon's fire gets hotter and hotter as they get older and nany Vaghar is pretty much as old as they get, i believe only Balerion was older.
Laenor tried calling the first two Joffrey as well but his father Corlys shot that down in favor for a Velaryon name. Since there is already an heir and spare he is able to get away with calling the 3rd one.
And people really said Game of Thrones was done after the main show ended. This universe is way too good to not delve into and explore. Great writing, acting and directing so far.
As long as George is writing or his detailed work is being used. This universe is good.
Without it, their nothing.
lol. This is not even half as good as the first 4 seasons of GOT.
@@arcanea9598 No show is as good as the first 4 seasons imo, can’t really compare the 2
@@arcanea9598 It was a struggle to get through GOT S1 imo. HOTD is so much more interesting so far.
@Raymond Sims literally the show is not a good as GoT but as a stand-alone this show is way above average and probably the best show in a long while some of these Fan boys really want to hate it because it’s not the best Tv show in the world lmao
Laena Velaryon shouting Dracarys was so sad and powerful. Agreed the casting is just perfect
True
sad to watch that scene, how many times she said dracarys and vhagar is doubting to do spitfire
I wanted to see more of her.
Plus Vhagar hesitating to do it killed me as well
Nah glad she gone
This was another great episode and I think the new actors for Rhaenyra and Alicent did an excellent job. RIP to Laena, Harwin, and Lyonel Strong (the only reasonable person in the Seven Kingdoms).
Though both are of Valyrian descent, the Velaryons did not control dragons; only the Targaryens did. The only reason why Laena and Laenor are dragon riders is because their mom (Rhaenys) is a Targaryen.
I actually really like Emma as Rhaenyra. She displays the same rebellious spirit that Millie had but more matured and jaded, and she has a unique presence about her. Very different from the typical princess archtype we'd normally see.
I sure agree! I really like Emma. This episode was so good and I was a little worried but Emma is deliciously subdued in their rebellious nature.
I agree, she was really great.
completely agree, I was skeptical at first but there is a subtlety to her that really conveyed her emotions
*they
@@hennie_booboo No, the character identifies as a she. Not they.
Not all Targaryens have white hair. Eg: Jon Snow. And plenty of Targaryens before him do not have white hair. In the books Rhaenys Targaryen, Corlys Valaryon's wife has black hair.
Seeing Vhagars size made me realise how truly terrifying Balerion must of been
How in the F did we get such a fantastic Laena actress (Nanna Blondell) and lose her so quickly?! WTF?
2 episodes in a row too 😢
Bruh who cares LMAO
@@johnspart1177 stop going to every comment where u see her name and post something to get a reaction - use your time and energy better
@@NubianPrince2012 I mean you could make me but then you are an idiot I can say what I want FOH
I disagree that Emma’s Rhaenyra feels like a deferent character. Watching the episode, you can see the little mannerisms of Milly’s Rhaenyra carried to Emma’s. Especially in the court scene. To me, Their Rhaenyra just seems more mature as she’s supposed to be. Also Wow you can just feel the strained tension+ history between Alicent and Rhaenyra throughout the ep.
Agreed
Yes Grace, being pure blood definitely helps with Valyrians
That's why Targaryens were known for being so incestuous, keeping it all in the family. And for good reason in the story since we can see how mixing in with other houses always caused drama for them: viserys marrying alicent
Even when they keep it in the family there’s still drama I.e Maegor the Cruel
@@rochknowles7287 yeah ofc but those are exceptions meanwhile the most drama they've had is cuz of bastards and other families mixing in with theirs
That’s your grace for you 😉
Small correction: the young dragon shown at the training scene was Vermax, Jace's dragon, not Arrax, who is Luke's.
so glad it was Vermax and not Sunfyre others have debated. Vermax was beautiful but not enough gold to be little Sun. I'm looking forward to seeing Sun and Dream. I wonder if that was Dreamfyre in the pit or Vermithor ?
@@tresjolieme81 Isn't Dreamfyre a pale blue? I don't think it was her.
@@Cboz1978 I'm pretty sure it was dreamfyre
@@tresjolieme81 vermithor should be almost as big as vhagar
Also, Jacaerys and Lucerys are Aemond and Aegon's nephews. Not cousins.
Laenor try to name the first son as Joffrey, but was overruled by his father, who named the boy Jacaerys according to the books.
Just shows us how much he loved joffrey so heartbreaking that he died like that
"we're bastards?" "we have other problems" gawd...grace cracks me up everytime 😂😂😂
I really liked the new Rhaenyra, like it better than the last one even. Emma (and I believe the writers ofc) made me feel like she matured indeed, example when she is going upstairs to see the queen and acknowledges a noble talking to her even though she is in pain and tired, which contrasts a lot with young Rhaenyra that couldn't even thank properly the other lords (like in the scene when she chose Cole to use the white cloak) and didn't have much inclination to politics. These little details that show us how the characters perceptions have changed over the years were very well made in this episode imo
I agree this new Emma brilliant
My only complaint about this show is that sometimes I feel they're moving too fast through the events and through characters. I would've loved to see more of Laena and sir Harwin both were fantastic
agreed
These House of the Dragon episodes are peak Game of Thrones. Really exceeding my expectations. Great dialogue, fantastic actors, and very zippy pacing.
Larys is a next level schemer. Jeez. I've been an Olivia Cooke fan since Bates Motel so I was never worried about her taking over the Alicent character.
LMAO. This is not even half as good as the first 4 seasons of GOT.
@@arcanea9598 Because the story of GOT starts at the brink of the war, and this story starts in a very peaceful and stable period, but the dialogue and intrigue is definitely on GRRM Brand. However, being two centuries before GOT I would have expected a different look. They are using exactly the same sets and too similar clothing, so it's not bad, but it is not great.
Cole is so unstable! So over him.
That library scene in Pentos with Daemon and the daughter he actually likes … looked so cozy! I want a tour! I was definitely intrigued about their life there. Wish I saw more.
The new Laenor is so charismatic. The opening scene with him dashing through the door. Perfect. Great second pilot the show runner called it. I wish the two of the them weren’t so careless but we need the conflict I guess.
I low key liked the hand! And Harwin. Bummer. Larys deserves a Littlefinger death for sure!
Also Grace monarch’s don’t really abdicate unless forced too, it’s really disgraceful to “retire” as a monarch lol
I did not have a problem with the changes until I saw that Ser Criston Cole still looked the exact same. In fact they gave him a haircut which made him look even younger. Laena was my favorite this episode... wish we had seen more of her.
Adding a little gray to Criston's hair would've helped. But idk, I think his growing bitterness over 10 years makes him look less youthful to me.
Wow! And I thought it was going to be hard for me to like the new actresses after the younger version did such a phenomenal job. But this episode might actually be my favorite. I quite like Emma.
Me too
Somehow, this episode felt more like the older Game of Thrones than the previous 5 episodes, which felt like a very long prologue to the actual storyline we're getting now. It might have to do with the timeskip tho. Although I love all episodes so far. I was afraid how the older cast would do it, but I'm happily surprised by both Olivia Cooke and Emma D'Arcy and the other older cast. Milly and Emily as the younger Rhaenyra and Alicent will still be missed tho.
emma d'arcy deserves an emmy for this episode alone, never doubted them!!
Omg Grace, when she went to Vhagar to end the suffering that was almost as shocking as when Ned Stark was beheaded.
Not really.
No problem with how they aged the characters, the older you are the less you age so they older characters didn’t change actors but the young ones did
They gave Emma/Rhaenyra an awesome opening scene. She was marvelous. Chef's kiss...👨🍳😘
Harenhal isn't the ancestral seat of House Strong. They were an ancient family that claimed descent from one of the great heroes of the age of heroes and were a Riverlands house, but they didn't come into possession of Harenhal until its was bestowed on Lyonel's father by the king before Viserys.
The Grim Reaper must be screwing around with Viserys at this point
I feel like older rhaenyra is just matured. She seems like completely a different person, bc she is! Hopefully, no one who is 30 acts the exact same as when they were 15-20. I think the differences (thought we haven’t REALLY seen much of older rhaenyra) make so much sense.
Adult Laena was awesome: great actress and super beautiful, such a shame we wont see her again :'(
Grace: I’m not going to spoil it but here’s the spoiler anyway
Literally why does she do this in almost every video? Lol 😂
I know right!
They only changed the actors for whoever was not already an adult. Rhaenys has had the same actress for that reason. It ain’t that deep Grace.
I knew we weren't getting Rhaenyra and Laena's relationship but I'm still sad about it.
Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke were absolutely brilliant. I was completely captivated by their performances, particularly Emma’s. Although I very much loved the younger actresses, I have to say I do prefer the older ones.
Thank you for mentioning that Rhaenyra is causing a lot of her own problems. When she and Laenor got married, they agreed to produce heirs together. What happened to that plan? They have to know that her having children that are clearly not her husband's endangers her chance to become queen. And that is what she wants more than anything.
And what was up with her ordering Laenor not to go to war? She and Laenor live separate lives. He has his side piece and she has a shadow husband who is a shadow father to her children and she doesn't seem to care that everyone knows it except Viserys.
These are the actions of a balsy woman. Balsy women OWN their choices. So what's up with her becoming concerned with perception at this late date? Why is she ordering her husband to stay at her side to tamp down on rumors NOW?
Rhaenyra is smart and politically astute as she demonstrated in the Small Council meeting. She's tough as she demonstrated by taking her baby to the queen immediately after giving birth.
But having ALL her babies by a man other than her husband was a dumb move.
It's mentioned later that they did try
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻...Rounds of applause for each *Emma D’Arcy* , *Olivia Cooke* , and *Oriana "Nanna" Blondell* . Seamless transitions & portrayals of adult versions of Rhaenyra, Alicent, and Laena, respectively.
Milly Alcock and Emily Carey were good (serviceable) in their roles, but I knew the story progressions and intensified plotlines within _'House of The Dragon'_ would call for acting at heightened levels. Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke *_"fa shizzel"_* !!! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
the teenage actor who plays aegon is david tennant’s son!
Thought he had a familiarity about him.
Was Larys' symbol confirmed to be a bee? My guess was that it was a fly because he sees himself as a "Fly on the wall"
It’s a firefly
I’m almost team Green simply because of Olivia Cook. She’s killing this
Olivia Cooke has been awesome in everything she's in. I was excited she was going to be playing Alicent and as you said she's killing it.
@@reneelasswell790 same
Such a great episode and review Grace! I think it totally made sense to swap out some characters with older actors. It's my understanding that the show creators only did this with characters that started out as children. Criston was a full adult when we first see him, as well as Daemon. Easy to use makeup to age them and have it look more believable in my opinion than actors who start off playing young teenagers.
was gonna say the same thing.
The wigs were much improved here, particularly the Velaryon wigs.
17:15 correction it was the father trying to save the son not the son. Try to save the father from the burning room
I was waiting for this, thanks for ur always work hard this late!
I like the observation that Alicent looks the same but is a completely different person... while Rhaenyra looks different but hasn't changed a bit - still as contrarian, intelligent, and imperious as before. Still as willful and as kind.
Alicent's daughter is my favorite character 😄 Luna Lovegood of HotD
I love that you’re doing episode breakdowns on house of the dragon !
"I'm not gonna tell you what happened but let's just say he doesn't have to worry about it too much"
Amazing how you still soft spoil the future episodes without having watched the future episodes. I gave a sigh of relief when you said you didnt see beyond episode 6 but I guess that doesn't stop you.
Love the analyses you give but please, you ruin the anticipation when you say things like this.
Emma was amazing! Already love them as Rhaenyra.
I never got the criticism that Viserys was a bad king until this episode when I realised he is literally setting up Westeros for a terrible civil war.
I wish we saw more of Rhaenyra and Sir Harwin.. there were hints of it but I couldn’t tell if they actually liked each other
Eagerly anticipating! Thank you Grace!!
Milly Alcock was great, but Emma is better for this part of the show. However, Milly needs her own show, and she needs to be a regal in it. Maybe something like the "Secret Life of Anastasia Nikolaevna".
Everybody did a well job this episode I like the changes you can clearly see all the foreshadowing in what is yet come
Grace, you have to chill with the “I’m not gonna tell you what happens-but-actually-I-am-gonna-tell-you-what-happens” stuff.
This show keeps getting better and better, I loved this episode. I hate Alicent with a passion
The foreshadowing about Aemond in the Heleana scene was nicely done
Exactly
Great review!
I kinda knew Olivia Cooke would do great... but Emma D'Arcy stole the show imo. I think they had the most to prove and exceeded all the expectations 👏🏾. Absolutely brilliant!!
They, they are nonbinary
@@beezusHrist I forgot 🙃... changed it 👍🏾.
@@beezusHrist Nonbinary women are still women though. You can still call them she.
Laenor not having a single legit kid with Raehayna to protect them both and his House makes no sense... Other than the creative team wanting drama.
Laenor isn't that type of person.
Hey grace. Great video. I get your concern about the women and gay characters being the only ones aged up. Just a heads up though, by the end of the season, they won't be the only ones recasted. Seems like the showrunners chose to recast only the people who appear in the show under 18 years old. There's another big time jump after ep. 7
Another 10 years?
@@aftertheshowmoviepodcast not that much but maybe 7 years
This series seems to be getting better and better with each passing episode.
Truly.
Jace, Luc and Joffrey are Aegon' and Aemon' s nephews.
Was worried about change in actors but how wrong was I. Only frustration is like you said, male actors haven't aged which is slightly jarring.
But this show is just phenomenal.
Very interesting show! Only gripe is it's moving too fast. Things are told and not shown, particularly the rumors about Rhaenyra, etc. Slow down and have more scheming and double dealing...
That teenage actor portraying Eagon is David Tennant's (the 10th Doctor Who) son Ty, who looks very much like Finn Wolfhard.
Hey grace. Has to be said. Your HOD reviews are my absolute favorites. Loved that Jurassic Park reference btw. Laughing to ur remarks on the show's moments are the best way to deal with Monday's tedium. Cheers
Grace! Love these videos. Will you be reviewing Dahmer?
"Rhaenyra is causing a lot of her own problems." Exactly!
The only ones that have been aged up are all of the characters who were teenagers (the same will occur with all of the current children)
All existing adults retain their original casting
Emma took Rhaenyra on another level, that's Rhaenyra from the books, not whatever Milly was playing. Amazing performance. And they changed only those actors who played teen characters
Teenager would be different than an adult.
Dang! Spoiler alert on Alicent’s daughter 🥺
Love your breakdowns Grace. Your insights elevate my enjoyment of watching the show. Thank you!
These videos are almost a must accompaniment to the show.
Orianna “Nanna” Blondell should be cast as MCU’s Storm.
Milly really grew on me quite a bit but Emma is really good also.
Aegon might be my favorite out of nowhere. He has these real quick moments with his cousins especially the youngest one that just hit me.
I think Emma did great too. Rhaenyra isn’t a child and living in the red keep would affect her. Plus we need to give her more time in the role too. Enjoyed the episode.
As I was watching I said wow I love her and I said it I regretted it , when you feel deep love for a character its clear their time will come to an end … didnt expect it so soon and so tragic and noble and emotional That scene was so powerful
I think the dragons can feel the pain of their riders so hence why Vhagar made the decision to kill her.
Emma is killing it, every scene she is in she steals the spotlight, I can't wait for next week
great review!
Every episode is keep getting better and better.
Grace : I’m not gonna tell you what happens
2 sec later : tells me what happens
How does Alicent’s children have white hair and Rhaenyra’s doesn’t? Maybe the King’s genetics 🧬 is stronger than his daughter’s, but I think the answer is the writing ✍️/plot.
maybe male genetics are stronger than female.
More like the Strong’s genetics are stronger.
Love the HOTD breakdowns, wished you also covered The Rings of Power too!
Why? Rings of power is the definition of bottom of the barrel.
Grace said the show is so bland.
@@gig7932 first 2 episodes.
Matt Smith was already old. He's the kings brother. Men and women look basically the same once they reach their 30s/40s. We are only looking at 10 years. Whereas the other characters are teenagers do you look like you did when you were 25 as when you were 15? Come on
Spot on!
That's the same dragon pit all the players gathered up in to disscuss the white walker problem before the battle at Winterfell
They're killing it still. If I suspended my disbelief by comparison, I take it as she's grown and matured.
Its funny thay Rhaenyra suggest she marries her son to his aunt that parallels her desire for Daemon
Excellent episode. It’s the real beginning of the dance of the dragons
This maybe was my fav episode, but this show is so great every episode has been my fav lol, I loved the adults Olivia and Emma they did amazing and I loved seeing the kids training and also the young dragon, there was so much here and Alicent evolving in the Game Of Thrones
The Olivia Cooke replacement is perfection. I also agree with Grace about Leanor. I knew nothing of John Macmillian but I thought he was great.
Rhaenyra’s replacement is the only one that stands out imo. At the same time it’s by far the most difficult to have gotten right. Other than maybe Daemon, Rhaenyra was the biggest standout of the first 5 episodes.
Disney’s MCEU shows could use HOD’s SFX team. She-Hulk’s SFX scenes are awful😵💫
Grace please don't give spoliers like that the fate of malaena is horrible
Love the new actors. All were great
will you be uploading reaction videos for episodes 7-10?
22:50 That scene was too damn short. They could have given it more time. Because it was POWERFUL & TOUCHING.
Rhaenyra, Alicent, Laena and Laenor were still teenagers at the end of episode 5. Daemon and sir criston were already in their 20s at least. so switching out the former teenagers makes lots of sense
Outstanding episode.
Re: the shots of mice/rats in Viserys’ study. They are too purposeful not to have meaning. In an interview, Paddie Considine himself described Viserys’ illness as a form of leprosy, which fits the on screen depiction of recurring skin lesions and wounds that do not heal, resulting in amputations. While rats are not a vector for leprosy, they are known, historically, to worsen the condition by gnawing on sufferer’s open wounds, which then go undetected because of the neuropathy associated with the disease. It’s a subtle bit of “bonus” storytelling for those familiar with the illness.
And there is precedent for leprosy afflicting royalty, in real world history. Baldwin IV of Jerusalem (who is depicted by Edward Norton in the film, Kingdom of Heaven) had it and was known as the Leper King.
Can't wait to Watch 😉😱😉
