    Daemon and Viserys's parents were siblings and Viserys and Aemma were cousins, incest was “normalized”, so to speak, in the Targaryen culture to keep the blood of the dragon pure, but few were the times that both fell in love, Jaehaerys and Alysanne (Viserys and Daemon grandparents) did have a love relationship and i want to believe from everything i saw in the season, that Rhaenyra and Daemon did share (more than a duty) a mutual affection that you will see later. i love your reactions, they are my favorites!

    Just some lil details I noticed and loved.
    1. The red beads in Rhaenyra’s hair matching the red bead detailing on Daemon’s top.
    2. The crabfeeder’s mask now being a part of Corlys’ hoard/collection of trophies and treasures.
    3. During the messy part of the wedding party when Laenor was getting hurt the entire time Laena was doing what she could to get to her brother despite the potential danger to herself. Love their bond 🥺.
    4. Harwin was already throwing his dad looks when things got messy. My mans was ready to get in there. And once he got the go ahead he literally just pushed like 4 grown adults out of his way like it was as easy as pushing aside air. And note for the first few seconds we see him being about as gentle as he can be pushing and shoving his way to get to the Princess, it’s only after she’s literally shoved into the side of the table and falls he starts throwing hands and is more or less DONE telling people to move NICELY.

    I really get Alicent. She keeps being told how her friend will be a threat to her and her children, but keeps trusting Rhaenyra.
    Until she leans that Rhaenyra lied to her face while swearing on her dead mother, and Alicent believed her over her father.
    How can she trust Rhaenyra after that, as much as she might have wished she could?
    I love how both Rhaenyra and Alicent are sympathetic even when at odds here!

    • @BambiLena666
      @BambiLena666 2 года назад +3

      She didnt lie to her. Alicent interprets Rhaenyras words. Alicent asked her about Daemon not her maidenhood and Rhaenyra swore on her mother that she didnt have sex with Daemon, which is true. Alicent then interprets this as Rhaenyra swearing shes still a maiden.

    • @ancatdal

      @@BambiLena666 Rhaenyra says Daemon never touched her, which is an outright lie. It also doesn't matter if Rhaenyra "technically" only lies by omission, when it comes to whether Alicent feels she can trust Rhaenyra or not. "Oh, technically it wasn't a lie because it was Criston not Daemon" doesn't make Rhaenyra trustworthy for Alicent, who has to trust Rhaenyra with her life and the lives of her children.
      To be clear, I don't blame Rhaenyra for lying. She was only doing what many a young prince have done, and didn't want anyone to know what she was up to, which is fair, she doesn't morally owe anyone knowledge of her sex life. I'm purely speaking of how from Alicent's pov, I get why she wouldn't trust Rhaenyra after this.

      Nah Alicent's reaction to this was childish, petty and straight out of mean girls imo. You expect her to confess something like that to the Queen, the mother of her future competition? of course Rhaenyra lied to you, she would've said anything and sworn on whatever she had to in order to protect her claim and her life by extension, duh. You would've probably done the same had you been in her position. Thankfully the character matured and got better cause i wasn't sure i could stand any more of this high school drama in future episodes.

      @@BambiLena666 "Deamon...NEVER touched me" that was an outright lie. They kissed and he took her pants down. The lie is understandable but don't take it out on Alicent. She stuck to Rheanyra out of loyalty,she squeezes out heirs out of duty, she fulfils her role as queen, but it is Rheanyra's behaviour that got her father fired. And then she finds out Rheanyra was lying the whole time(whilst swearing on her mother) and there are no consequences for that. No humility. How can Alicent trust Rheanyra? Rheanyra has clearly shown that she is willing to sacrifice other peoples' jobs to safe face. What happens when it comes to Rheanyra saving her birthright as heir? And then to add further insult: Alicents' own husband sent for some morning after tea for his daughter! Alicent is being played for a fool by her Targaryen husband and his daughter.and she doesn't like it. This show is so good because the actions of each character is fueled by genuine and understandable emotions. But that doesn't excuse the behaviour.

      @@BhBc8f8 I honestly feel like you've somewhat misread what I wrote, (if your response was indeed to me), or read certain assumptions into it.
      I'm in no way judging whether Alicent was owed the truth, or how she went about asking for it. My observation is solely about the fact that Rhaenyra passionately (and understandably, yes) lies to Alicent's face while swearing on her dead mother, and Alicent believes her, and is then proven wrong.
      What this means for Alicent is that Rhaenyra is willing to, and able to convincingly, lie to Alicent, meaning that Alicent can no longer trust Rhaenyra at her word.
      I also completely get Rhaenyra, and think she owes no one any information about her sex life, and should have the same sexual liberty as the men do. Because she doesn't, she feels forced to lie because she either doesn't trust Alicent completely, or is uncomfortable with Alicent knowing what happened. Either is honestly fine, BUT the consequence is that she looses Alicent's trust in her. That to me is just a tragic fact. These were two close friends, but circumstances are tearing their friendship apart.

    I've been watching HOTD a second time with my 16yr old daughter. A teenager the same age as Rhaynera and Allicent is an entirely new perspective from what adults talk about when viewing. She "gets" the teen friend drama, the boy drama, the parental drama, the feelings of betrayal, obey your parent, loss of a parent and trying to find your place in all of it.

  • @ancatdal
    @ancatdal 2 года назад +16

    I think what ultimately triggered Criston Cole was wounded masculine pride.
    Criston, by being made a King's Guard with a vow of celibacy, has essentially been put into a similar role as The Maiden who must remain chaste and pure, and Rhaenyra "soiled him". He thought he could regain his sense of pride by running away with Rhaenyra, reframing his "soiling" as a tale of true love, ripe for singers.
    But Rhaenyra refuses, and Criston then sees the relationship Rhaenyra proposes as him being made into "a whore", as if Criston himself hasn't bedded women without marriage before becoming King's Guard, but that was okay because he didn't have a "virtue" attached to his sex life before, only the women he slept with had that.
    When Joffrey approached him, he basically told Criston "hey, we are in the same boat now, so lets work together". Now Criston not only feels like he's been despoiled, made "a whore", he also finds himself in the same boat as a homosexual man. Criston feels emasculated from experiencing something similar to what women experience when it comes to sex, and from associating with homosexual men.
    No doubt it hits particularly hard for him since the "White Cloak" is both the source of his current shame and emasculation, but also the previous source of his greatest pride, the highest anyone in his family had ever achieved. Right up until he killed Joffrey, I really felt for Criston, despite his feelings, as I interpret them, coming from nonsensical ideas of masculinity and "honour", but such is the society he lives in, so I got it. But him taking it out on Joffrey killed any affection I had for Criston, and I keep being so, so angry with him.

    • @icepastacream1112
      @icepastacream1112 Год назад

      you explained the entire situation to perfection. Many didn't really get the scene and simply thought that joffrey was taunting or threatening crispen douchebag during their conversation. I understood where he was coming from but he went about it the wrong way and it completely destroyed any ounce of love i had for him. And the further we go into the show the worst he gets. Its just sad really🙁

    • @ancatdal
      @ancatdal Год назад

      @@icepastacream1112 Yeah I've seen that interpretation as well, that Joffrey was threatening him, and I really don't see it. Maybe, maybe I could see it as a "we both know each others' secrets now, so if you were to learn Laenor's secret and think to do something about that, just know that we know yours too". But it's certainly a very, very conditional threat that poses no danger to Criston so long as he doesn't reveal theirs.
      But Criston reacting to a threat is not what I got from that scene, and I don't think it's what they set up with his conversation with Rhaenyra and with Alicent.

    Otto telling Alicent that conflict will envitably come if Rhaenyra gets the throne is only half the truth I think. Viserys made his lords swear to support Rhaenyra, and at least some of those will remain alive and stay true to that vow when Viserys die, and some of their heirs will honour their parent's vow. So regardless, there will be conflict, unless Visery very, very explicitly makes it clear that Rhaenyra is no longer heir. Even then, there might be at least dissatisfaction from some lords at being made to swear an oath then break it.

    Otto caused the entire rift that will rock the entirety of Westeros. He told Allicent what he wanted her to hear. Rhaenyra never showed any signs that she would harm Allicent nor her children so far. On the other hand, Allicent is placed in a horrible position by Otto from sending her to pretty much seduce the King for his own good not the good of the realm. She is not experienced enough to know her father is manipulating her.

    The ending montage was my favorite scene up to this point. Give me the red hue of the weirdwood tree glowing in twilight, give me the dim lights, give me the gloomy ambience of a GoT wedding with an equally gloomy Ramin Djawadi soundtrack & hook it to my veins! That pause when Criston looks up & you hear the final note of that haunting tune? So well done! The uncharacteristically heartfelt exchange between Otto & Alicent was the most significant moment so far. It's the Tywin Jaime "we can establish a dynasty that last a thousand years" scene. We Light the Way is the motto of House Hightower. This is the episode the Greens come into their own. Out of this cursed wedding loyalties are won & lost forever. Rhaenyra and Laenor were exchanging wedding vows, but it was Alicent and Criston who were getting “married”.

    Not sure if you caught it but in the previous episode Viserys was shown to have had two fingers amputated. That's why Rhaenys clasps his gloved hand and then immediately asks if he's OK. And now his whole arm is rotting, so the amputation didn't work to stop the disease.
    Rhaenyra was teasing Daemon. She knows that he's not going to act on it. I see this as partially a jab at him for being impotent (as Lady Rhea also mentions; and why he could not sleep with her previously.) That's not to say she doesn't have some affection for him but I didn't take her words as being actually what she wanted.

To clarify, Viserys is guaranteed to suffer from a disease called leprosy that consumes his entire body.

    Yeah, Criston asking for death is a damn sight better that what happened to Lucamore Strong, the last member of the Kingsguard to betray his oath of chastity. He took 3 wives and fathered 17 children; for which, he was gelded (full castration, pillar and stones) and sent to live out the remainder of his life at The Wall. He was known thereafter as Lucamore the Lusty.

      Well, no. It's quite natural for threats to the throne to be eliminated; especially strong ones like a son in a realm expecting a male heir. He speaks the truth in that last bit; "You will have to beg for Rhaenyra for mercy".
      Most people would want to avoid that happening at all.

    By thinking Criston is Rhaenyra's paramour, as in side piece, Joffrey thought Criston was "just like them", as in more open minded to these sort of sexual liberties. He didn't know Criston walked away the moment he realized Rhaenyra had no intention to marry him. Criston was literally asking for a death sentence for his trangression. He's too honorable. He's like a psychotic Ned Stark. Therefore Criston took Joffrey's politicking, telling him "we know about your little secret"...as a direct threat to his honor and his white cloak. If he was willing to die himself, what is he gonna do to someone else? The key here is to remember that Cole is a knight from the middle ages. His conception of things like morals and being honorable are not like ours. There is no "one night stand" in his dictionary.

    Maybe you didn't pick up on this yet but this was otto's plan from the beginning in episode 1 he tries to convince the king to name rhaenyra the heir over daemon not because he likes rhaenyra but because he knows ounce he puts his daughter alicent in front of the king and they have sons it would be easy to strong arm her claim and usurp her he thought it was gonna be easy to get viserys to name aegon the heir over rhaenyra but when he saw that wasn't happening he start telling alicent to convince viserys to replace rhaenyra then he start poisoning her mind with that rhaenyra would kill your kids bs as a manipulation tool to turn her against rhaenyra. In the beginning of episode 1 the the narrator says they had 10 dragons during the old kings reign and that the strongest powers in the realm couldn't compete with them and that the only thing that could tear the house of the dragon apart was its self and thats so true otto saying rhaenyra would kill alicent's kids is a giant assumption one he's only making because that's what he would do in her situation kill somebody's kids but what if those kids was raised to love their sister instead of hate her what if they stood with her and said my sister is queen and anybody who opposes that is asking for war against the kingdom and what could anybody in the world do against 10 plus dragons they would have no choice but to accept rhaenyra as queen but otto doesn't mention that because it doesn't fit his narrative which is to sow division within the most powerful house in the realm and put his blood on the iron throne and daemon knew this from the beginning that's why otto always tries to keep him and viserys divided

    This is the one situation where a change from the books is really problematic in my opinion. In Fire and Blood, the book the series is based on, Criston killed Joffrey while they were competing in a tournament that was being held for the wedding. In a situation like that deaths can plausibly occur. Although it was described as Criston being over aggressive and fighting much more brutally than games like that called for. Still, that is a totally different situation from actually beating someone to death at a feast being held prior to the wedding. In my opinion, it was unrealistic that Criston wasn’t taken into custody on the spot.

    What kind of father would even think of putting his daughter in the position that Otto has put Alicent - bearing children who will be in danger of being killed after their father dies by either their sister or her supporters? Otto was too smart not to have anticipated killing this, before he even sent Alicent to Viserys to "comfort" the widowed king; and he apparently also visualized killing Viserys' beloved daughter and any children of hers to keep Alicent's children alive. Such was the height of Otto's ambition, that to have a grandson on the Iron Throne, he'd resort to murder of a princess he'd watched grow up, and her children of any age, and potential civil war. It's understandable, but disgusting.

    @daniellylima5568 Год назад

    Remembering that the book fire and blood is narrated by dubious narrators The book is told by rumors and gossip so it is not reliable, in the book it says that Daemon never likes his wife he hates her the daemon was forced to marry his wife she not important in the story In the book there is nothing about her just that she is married to Daemon and that after a while the news comes from her that she died and that she died falling off a horse is all that is said about daemon's wife in the Book
    Like I said, Daemon's wife is not important in the story, nobody cares about her and only see the scenes when she talks about Daemon's wife is when Rhaenys says Daemon's wife died, nobody cared about the news she said that's because she is not important, in the books it is not known if it was the daemon that killed his wife because when she dies the daemon is in a war so it is not known if it was him, in the series they put that it was the daemon that I kill his wife the daemon is not killing his wife because she had already lost her body movement so much so that he was leaving but the girl was very stupid opened her mouth so he killed her the writers is Ryan they said they said daemon no and the kill his wife if she doesn't open her mouth, more like she opened her mouth so he kill her
    Being a Christian if you soiled your white mantle it was because you wanted to because Rhaenyra didn't stick a knife in your neck forcing you to do what you did, do you really think that Rhaenyra And drop everything just to be with him my god this girl she is a princess she is heir to the throne she has her customs she is not one to drop everything to have a simple life , Rhaenyra is not in love with Christian she just wants to have fun she just wants sex nothing else Christian you are very emotional you are very deluded you and dumb rhaenyra would never give up everything for you christian you and only a knight have nothing to offer her
