    Fun fact: Viserys's crown falling off and Daemon picking it up for him wasn't in the script originally. It happened as a genuine accident in rehersals but Paddy and Matt stayed in character and improvised their way through it. The director liked it so much that they then included it when they actually shot the scene. Two stunning actors...

    "Sadly its too late because they already poisoned their children"
    You hit the nail on the head there with this episode. The tragedy of these now adults finally getting closer to resolution and apology only for the fact that they raised their children in conflict and opposition to continue the fighting throughthe next generation.
    Viserys the last piece holding it all together, even though all of this was a lot of his doing, a man who tried to follow his heart at all times, but unfortunately made so many mistakes in this cruel world.

      I think she was a bit on the fence up to a point, who to support. If anything, Alicent respects and obeys authority and there was this conflict: the authority of Viserys who appointed Rhaenyra and the authority of her father who wants Aegon on the throne. I think it's only when she misinterprets Viserys's last words that she finally commits fully to supporting Aegon, only then is the conflict solved for her as she now believes Viserys also wanted Aegon. I think before that she would have been more open to some compromise, if Rhaenyra could guarantee her sons' safety. At least that's how I interpret it.

    A couple details I noticed upon a re-warch that made this episode even better:
    - Viserys looking at Jace and Helaena dancing is bittersweet; warms his heart to see his family getting along, but also reminds him of what could've been had he put his foot down, as you said, on the betrothal Rhaenyra proposed all those years ago.

    This episode and the final dinner scene hits so much harder the more you watch it. It's so bittersweet as you realize that's truly "the last supper" and that both sides won't ever be at peace again like Viserys last witnessed. If only that moment could last.

A lot of reactors don't realize it or don't include it in the final cut because there is no dialogue, but I could tell how emotional you were when you realized that Viserys was looking at his family being happy for the final time.

    Vaemond has really interesting motivations in this episode.
    Of course he is right to object an impostor usurping his family, but at the same time it's undeniable that personal ambition is what drives him the most.
    By binding Jace and Luke with Baela and Rhaena the Velaryon bloodline would have continued regardless through Laena's line, but he still objected the proposal because of his ambitions and his pride.
    Once Viserys declared Luke the heir Vaemond was done for, it was only a matter of time before the Blacks (mainly Daemon) came for him next.
    Despite only being an important character for this episode it's really cool how much we got to understand him and his actions and ambitions.

However bastardy is still a major roadblock.

      Vaemond never had much of a claim anyway, as it were acknowledged that Rhaenyra's sons were bastards and that Laenor died without issue then the next in line to inherit Driftmark would be his sister Laena and then her twin daughters. The law and tradition in most of Westeros has long been that daughters inherit after sons but before brothers, uncles, or cousins.
      Also, in the books at least, there have been so many intermarriages between Targaryens and Velaryons that Rhaenrys herself has about as much Velaryon blood as Vaemond does.

    31:50 They basically made Helaena on the autistic spectrum in the TV series - though Westeros doesn't have a word for "autism". This is sort of a change from the books, but the books DO very specifically describe Helaena's _daughter_ Jaehaera as being like this, and the co-authors of the World book stated their impression was "Jaehaera is on the autistic spectrum, but their society doesn't have a term for that or really know what it is".

    I was honestly astonished that Paddy Consadine didn’t get an Emmy nomination for this. He felt underused as an actor through some of the early episodes, but this episode gave him a chance to make Viscerys a worthy king, and he owned it. Stunning contrast between the ruined face and the gallant man whose body has betrayed him.

You can tell from Daemon's face that he's having a moment of regret for not working things ouf with his brother.But man that scene with Daemon cutting off the top half of Vaemon head was intense. Even tho Vaemon was right about Rhaenyra kids. But he totally forgot who house he was in. And Daemon reminded him of that. Great reaction\commentary from you.

    I still think the theory that Alicent was in love with Rhynera is very plausible. Because of her faith and the way the world works she knew she couldn't have what she truly wanted. But she was also jealous of Rhynera being able to do as she pleased without consequences or at least by her standards. The resentment grew til it overpowered everything but she never truly hated Rhynera. And she missed having her friend, she doesn't have anyone close to her that isn't doing so for personal gain.

    Aemond wasn’t so much threatened but annoyed that Daemon ruined his fun and he didn’t see a point to continue. Those two are very similar yet incredibly different, with Aemond duty is very much what his character strives for- he’s ready to do so no matter the cost and already at a young age is prepared for things greater than child fights (although as with the dinner, he’s still young) but he understand for example that tourneys are of no matter to him, meanwhile daemon when he was that age was more prone to ladies and tourneys and a different type of ego.
    FYI daemon should have trained the strong boys better they really aren’t doing much strength wise 😩.

      I strongly disagree with this as someone who loved most of the book liberties the show took this wasn’t a good one.
      The end of episode 9 makes no sense in so many ways. First Rhaenys killed hundreds of innocent people to just look cool and didn’t even end the war by killing Aegon so she simply killed people for no reason. They thought it looks cool so let’s do it even when it makes no sense. Also I wish Aegon had Sunfyre there like in the book so she couldn’t do that freely because Sunfyre would defend Aegon.
      So basically the series made Rhaenys a mass murdered for no reason except a scene that looks cool but just makes things more confusing.

They could have had 7-10 kids by the same point in time, a whole royal airforce, and STILL wouldn't match Queen Alysanne's numbers yet.
