Ok so the House Of The Dragon finale is now here and Episode 10 brings a lot with it. The final entry is filled with easter eggs, hidden details, book differences and things that set up where season 2 is going. You know the drill by now, full spoilers for the episode for the first part of the video and if you wanna know what comes next in the story then that will be at the end in our super spoiler super spoiling section.

Titled the Black Queen it sets up Rhaenyra as the leader of the group that still hold their oaths loyal to Viserys. However as we've seen many still believe that a man should sit on the throne above all else and because of this, keeping allies becomes difficult due to people having the bias that men should lead.
This is seen most notably in Lord Borros who we meet at Stormsend. This location was shown all the way back in episode 4 when Rhaenyra went there to pick out a suitable husband. Here we saw her with Borros' father Boremond who died between 116 - 132 AC. Borros has many daughters and in the books he says that if he were to die then Storms End would pass to a male so why should it be different with Kings Landing.
We'll get into that later on with the Kinslaying becoming a major event but you could say that the loser wasn't that strong after all.
-
Now to lay out where we're at in the story, Episodes 1-8 took place during chapter 12 titled the heirs of the dragon. Last week began with chapter 13 The Blacks and The Green and this episode continues that before going into the Son For A Son chapter that follows it.
Similar to the episode, the rest of chapter 13 takes place on Dragonstone and we go there whilst the cheers for Aegon ring out. Unlike the show, his coronation wasn't interrupted by Rhaenys and it was more of a happy event with The Greens taking a clear win.

I thought for sure u would comment on how Ryhaenyra saying she didnt want to rule over ash and bone mirrored how Dani told Olenna, I think, "im not here to be the queen of ashes". The flight scene, ugh! so good, my heart was pounding the entire time. Loved Aemond laughing without a care while all that chaos ensued! Just epic. Daemond...such a great & oftentimes ambiguous character. He seemed almost bitter to be holding the crown & it not being his and then he turns and his eyes softened upon Ryhaenyra & he crowns her. So its like hmm. And so on with so many other moments throughout between them. Cant believe we have to wait 2yrs! Wish they had ended the scene with her screaming & her dragon screaming at the same time!
*edit: thanks for all ur videos on this show though, its been awesome!
I saw it Friday myself. It aired EARLY for those who are PRIME HBO members. My Streaming Service agreement got us that EARLY showing as well. Someone else that got to see it early must have put it online deliberately. Personally I waited to talk about the episode for the REST of the viewers to see it first, that person, who has to be a Video Content Maker I believe, didn't do the fandom that RESPECT! The same thing happened with AMC's early viewings of TWD. Just tell people who may have seen the episode early to keep it to themselves until the Main audience gets a chance to see it!
FYI... Princess Rhaenys was the daughter of Prince Aemon Targaryen and Lady Jocelyn Baratheon. She was King Jaehaery's granddaughter not his daughter. King Viserys was the grandson of King Jaehaery's. Viserys and Rhaenys are 1st cousins. 13:30
There were _slower pace moments, but_ ... slower pace moments are good. Shit doesn't have to be whiz-bang-pow exploding all the time.
The slower pace of the first half of GoT is what made it way better than Seasons 8.
@Heavy Spoilers Rhaenys wasn't even Jaehaerys's daughter. You spout off so much nonsense that isn't real and the viewers have to stuffer through it. You need to read the books before making these videos.
He was soo brave. You could tell he was nervous about going. He then did his best to defend off his uncle then just gets chomped on 😢
I know, the poor kid! I just felt sorry for him the whole episode!
You brought tears. I thought the same thing. He was so little and just trying to get away.
He truly was a strong boy 😔
Westeros is no place for the weak. Good riddance
Poor little guy. He was a good kid - didn’t deserve that. Aemond is officially on my shit list along with his twisted king brother.
That poor baby, the way he went into the hall and how he politely received the word no and wanted to go back home immediately breaks my heart :( so hard to watch innocent kid died for nothing. Damn
Didn't feel bad for him... I actually wanted Aemond to get his revenge and he did in the end.
@@PrototypeFreak89 what revenge tho? He literally stole that dragon from a mother’s grieving child. Then tried to hit him in the head with a rock like ?
@@Bin_Chicken98 Leanas kids started on Aemond so he used the rock for defence. Plus Rhaenyra kids and Aegon teased Aemond in the dragon pitt over a pig leaving him feeling down about himself. No wonder why he claimed vhagar for himself. Plus vhagar never belonged to Leana or her children, it was Visenya dragon.
Anyway, the Targaryens family is f*cked up.
@@PrototypeFreak89 he claimed a dragon that was promised to go to her daughter. He talked 💩 to the girls abt their moms death. Super disrespectful and Deserved it but he was obv stronger than the girls. The boys had to help and tbh he deserved it. The eye thing was an accident but he already had the dragon so there was no reason to literally kill Luke (accident doesn’t matter he provoked it).
@@Bin_Chicken98 The eye thing was an accident??? How is that an accident??? Rhaenyra kids were always trouble when they were with Aegon. Aemond was the good one until it got to the dragon pit that left him offended by his cousins and brother picking on him and thats how it backfired when Aemond claimed Vhagar for himself and mocked them about the pig in the cave when returning. Rhaenyra children always annoyed and teased Aemond. Rhaenyra kids are no angels at all.
Matt Smith’s ability to completely subvert the viewer’s ability to know what Prince Daemon is thinking at any one time is amazing and convincingly believable.
Can't wait to see matt smith do what his character does in the fire and blood book series does! on screen its gonna be epic!
I wasn’t feeling him at the start - thought he was trying too hard to be mysterious and edgy - but then as the series went on I started really liking the character,
“Sorry to hear about your wife-“,
“I’m positively bereft”
💀
Dude I didn't like the way he grabbed Rhaenyra's neck so rudely
I mean, inconsistency in a character is more like Bad writing than good acting but i feel ya
@@Willz828 What's inconsistent? Daemon has always been a wild card. He is called the Rogue Prince, after all.
I loved how Rhaenyra flew in and walked through Otto's men like a badass, just like she did in a previous episode when Daemon took her Dragon egg.
There were a lot of parallels to the first 2 episodes. Even how it ended was Rhaenera staring down the camera.
That entrance was so cringey.
Otto is also a badass for not flinching
It was cringe
Wokeness
Gaw damn that ending... what a way to end a season... that last facial expression of sheer rage. I really liked how they showed that the dragons do have a mind of their own and not 100% obedient.
That isn’t a look of rage, that’s the look of “oh shit oh fuck, that wasn’t meant to happen, I just accidentally kicked off a war”. He said in Storms End he had no intention of killing him, he wanted the debt paid for his eye (which to me is just him justifying his acting like a sociopath, considering in the episode he claimed Vahgar he said it was a fair price for having a dragon). So true with the dragons having a mind of their own though, I definitely didn’t see that coming with Arrax and Vahgar being the ultimate reason for Jace’s death!
Yeah Vhagar was like WTF was that? Ohh you wanna play? Ok playtime over children 😂
@Dont CensorMe not every episode can be action LMAO. Black Adam was mostly action and it was trash
@Dont CensorMe GoT become nothing but action and it became trash. What's more important is the drama and the character interactions which create said drama.
Just like with any animal, storms and earthquakes messes up dragons. It's sort of like a noise in the brain. So, the storm kind of muted the rider's commands to the dragons when the 'noise' got too much in their brain and the instincts kick in. Thus, arrax retaliated when vhagar chased him then vhagar actually biting arrax after the attack. Unfortunate.
"the idea that we control dragons is a lie"-King Viserys the peaceful
"A dragon is no slave"- Queen Daenerys Targaryen
Copied comment.
Queen for a day.
@@eshitvaprakash6681 😂😂😂
@@eshitvaprakash6681 I was never on her side. I’m a loyal Stark/Snow supporter 😂
Queen. Not queen.
Aemond’s face of realization and fear after he realized what he just did and Rhaenerya’s face of pain and vengeance when she heard of her sons death were incredible parallels. The true beginning of the end for Targaryen’s and their dragons.
Aemond was missing the education of dragons he would have gotten had Daemon and Viserys been there to teach him. He took Vhagar for granted and thought he had control- Vhagar just showed him that control of dragons is an illusion which Rhaenyra spoke of briefly. With great power comes great responsibility. - Uncle Ben
@@briengakaplan-b1550 yawn this show is really showing everything being a coincidence or accident. Why not give Aemond's character agency like in the book? Give him the CHOICE to kill rather then bumbling into it? What if, instead of intentionally pushing Bran out of the window to protect their deadly incestuous secret, Jaime accidentally knocked Bran out of that tower? Would that have been more interesting? Was it more compelling watching Jaime spend his life dealing with the fallout of that decision than it would have been watching him deal with an oopsie doopsie?
The moment i saw his face.....it literally screamed "it was at this moment that he knew he fucked up"
Wait how did daemon know he was killed? Someone please tell me?
@@briengakaplan-b1550 I don't think there was any education to be taught by Daemon or Viserys, Viserys or Daemon never tried to toy around with their dragons and mock other dragons, they wouldn't have any reason to know that there are times dragons won't obey their riders.
Vhagar, is the definition of “fuck around and find out.”
😂
What really kills me is that king Viserys rehired Otto knowing how back stabbing he is. I was really hoping the blacks would take him hostage and threw him in a well deserved cell. I'm glad she threw his pin in the ocean.
I also hate how Viserys did not give his son justice for losing his eye
He deserved it. dude stole their family dragon… a couple nights after she died. Tf
Spoiler alert
He will be executed when Rahenyra will capture king's landing
Imagine you have a wife nagging about something 24/7 and how long it will take to make you surrender.
I guess he wasn’t “Strong” Enough 🤷🏽♂️ lol
I honestly didn’t expect them to show the complete violation of my boy Luke like that
Nom nom nom
@@LordDirus007 😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀
I suppose
Dude did noone notice the lighting scene when vhagar was shown above him It gave me chills
Pretty sure his death is more brutal in the books
Araxx tried to save Luke but it cost them their lives instead. Both just little ones, not ready for war 😔 I was expecting to be devastated but not that devastated.
I don't think he tried to save Luke as much as he tried to save his ass. Araxx disobeyed Luke, Vhagar disobeyed Aemond. Dragons overrule their riders, they're wild beasts.
Araxx didn’t know shit. Moron thought he could burn a dragon 20 times his size.
I'm with you on this one. I knew it was coming but I was wrong of how bad I'd feel.
@@Layo5900 I didn’t see it that way. Arrax flew him up to the highest point in the sky for a reason. Luke felt safe with him and trusted his decision for just a minute and that’s when he died. I think people are missing the point of the dragons. They are not meant for war, they are connected to their riders and that’s it but they do trust them. There wouldn’t be a bond if not. They’re much more intelligent then people are making them seem, they understand when they’re in danger just like any other being. So Araxx avoided the danger with his rider.
@@dannikris3696 they clearly disobeyed
None of them said dracarys
They did try to stop them both of them aemond and Luce...but the dragons never listened and did what they are meant to do
Connects very well with what viserys said about dragons that it is all an illusion that they control the beast
I love how rhaenys tilts her head when daemon mentions meleys like: " hang on, when did I say I would fight for you?"😂.
anyway she will fight for them
I did the same thing when I heard that, like skurt wait a minute!!
@@hereiam8 I read what happened in the book about her and Meleys but I don't like to be rude and spoil things for others who might not know? I just had to know because I love this character and the doctor Eve Best played on Nurse Jackie.
i mean she said that when she backed Rheanyras claim.
Intentionally or no it was Aemond's fault when you chase someone with a big ass dragon in the middle of a fucking storm you should know things can get ugly. He sounded so proud when he said he rides the biggest dragon in previous episode now that dragon has caused the war
lol fax , vhagar dnt mind war
@@GeeGodlyy yeah she says "chill bro I'm a pro at this"
He really underestimated the balls that Arrax possesses. Let’s not act like Vhagar just went rogue.
@@bleedingcrystal4722 facts
The problem is, he underestimated vhagar. Vhagar's prime was war it self, so what vhagar heard is " ripe them apart "
Nah cause Araxx and Lucerys were just babies 🥺 I loved how Arrax was very much the symbol of Luke; small, inexperienced, naive and very much out of his depth when compared to Aemond and Vhagar, who kind of acted as the personification of war; uncontrollable, unforgiving and relentless. When I saw Luke flying on his dragon it really showed me how the both of them were still children, and as they were flying to storms end I knew what would happen. The fate they received was devastating 😢
Aemond is only a few years older than Luke, but he's flying a dragon far, far older than Arrax compared to the rider. It demonstrates that Aemond is just as inexperienced and toys at playing with power but has no idea how to wield it nor what to do with it. He claims he's better for the throne than Aegon, yet he can't get over his fucking eye. He's just as petulant as his brother AND Luke and Jace, he just pretends he's more mature by the way he dresses and acts.
@@grayden4138 thank you! I have seen a lot of comments with people justifying Aemond's actions because he was teased as a child, not even understanding how childish that line of thinking is. Aemond doesn't participate in the same debauchery as his brother and he is more dutiful but at the end of the day he is just as inexperienced and selfish as his brother. He didn't even think about what he was actually doing until Vhagar split them in half.
@@grayden4138 Exactly :)) Wasn't he the one to declarean eye is a fair price for the dragon? So will he give the dragon back now that he's gotten the eye?
@@riss3690 Those people probably also let German shepherds out chasing little children to tease them
@@riss3690 Of course he is inexperienced its cause he is still a kid. He didn't have to think about what he was doing because he had no idea that dragons won't obey the commands of their riders. Not trying to defend him, it was his ignorance that led to the death of Lucerys and Arrax but he just wanted to hurt lucerys not kill him.
When Rhaenyra cried for Luke she was rubbing her tummy, she was mourning the sweet boy she cared and nurtured for in her womb and gave life to, her baby 😭😭💔
Rhaenyra’s stillborn birth reminds me of Daenery’s. Both babies are described to look like dragons and their deaths act as catalysts for the respective mother’s endeavours.
Daenyrs son died cause of black magic not because of Lannisters
With the level of inbreeding, it's a wonder any of them look human.
I love the fact that what happened between the dragons shows that the Targaryans were never in control and it is just an illusion. Loved the episode
Barentheon's always an usurper
Yes. Agreed. Also love it and anticipating much whining “bu, but that’s not the way it was supposed to happen”
This shows interpretation of the history of the Dance of the Dragons is *better* than the Meisters lying and self serving account. 😂
PS - Hopefully GRRM fans understand that he wrote the book this way precisely so it could freely translated instead of slavishly followed…..or else.
This is why GRRM wanted this story to be made into a show - instead of Winds Of Winter - which is a now a NO WIN, narrative.
I knew that from the days of Dany and her teenage dragons!
I love honestly that they set up all characters to grow and own their part on the upcoming war. I had flashbacks for Daenerys mad queen....
@@laurarooney6030 To be fair, they're closely related to the Targs in every instance of trouble.
Aemond learned that you do not play with war. As he tried to scare Lucerys and ended up killing him he must now lose his child innocence and prepare for war.
Did he really learn anything? He’ll make excuses and deny in front on his mother.
@@ows8426 he’ll learn the consequences of war regardless if he denies it or not.
@@robertdominguez7001 He is vicious to be so young, and to his cousin
@@ows8426 Agreed, but it does come from being bullied as a child for not having a dragon and then losing an eye to his cousins. As well as seeing his brother Aegon become king knowing he’s a better fit. It’s a tragic story for everyone involved in the civil war.
Aemond started it - but Vhagar finished it lol
Can we please acknowledge how talented Emma D’Arcy was in this episode? Wow! She was amazing. She deserves an Emmy too! The childbirth scene was too sad for me deeply. But the ending was everything! She was sad but madness started! Team Black!
Id never do this but someone did it to me: emma is a "they" not "she"... apparently
Emma is non-binary and uses “they” pronouns
@@danielhughes5932 only if you live in California 🤣
@@danielhughes5932 Emma is a She. Please stop with the pronoun shit. It gets no acknowledgment or respect with the majority of the world. Emma was born a girl, she is a woman. Nothing can change that. Just off the strength of this confused individual playing Rhaenyras character, I already don't like Rhaenyra that much. I'm more team Green. Plus Aemond looks badass now with the eye patch and sword skill. Sorry to go off, but I'm just so tired of hearing about the pronoun shit, like MANY other normal people.
After the birth, the umbilical cord appeared to be around it's neck. Could have perished inside her, causing the labor.
The scene when Luke lands in storms end was pure magic!!! If you notice the guards don't seemed bothered at all at the sight of arrax when they landed..usually just the sight of a dragon puts fear into men,but having seen the beast that vahgar is you can tell they are not impressed. Then you seen the size of vahgar in the lightning flashes and realize the difference in size of the dragons.
very great detail, isnt it? they didnt even flinch when the dragon landed. very realistic detail and reaction on the part of the gaurds.
They should have sent the ravens instead.
@@justshady lol right.
I thought that was awesome how they showed the sheer size of Vhagar compared to Luc's little dragon in the flashes of lightning! Awesome scene!
I love that scene and the dragon chase, so intense and terrifying.
Anyone noticed how Rhanerya brought Baela and Rhaeyna to the table.. it was very symbolic.. The 1st queen bringing more women to the table.. I loved that!!
Rhaenyra would aid other women in getting to power...if it was to her benefit; but would also work to crush other women's claims to power if it contradicted her. Her being Queen or a woman has nothing to do with it.
I know ppl tend to dislike the "woke" in shows but this wasn't it at all. The women of this show were done amazingly well and I love that fact.
@@thephilosopher7173 Honestly, I never saw it as woke anything, all the characters were beautifully cast.. Corlys and Rhaneys are my favorites and it makes the whole legitimacy issue with Rhaneryas sons way more obvious since the Velaryons are black.
@@thephilosopher7173 I pay those woke people no mind. They're the ones who also showcase their racism when Corliss is portrayed by a black actor.
It was perfect given her past brief scenes with those girls, she is fond of them and they too are fond of Rhaenyra.
How sad is it that the premiere started with the death of two Targaryens (Aemma & Baelon) and now the finale ends with the death of two Targaryens (Luke and the stillborn baby).
My heart broke for Rhaenyra in this episode and Emma D'Arcy gave an exceptional performance. Her last scene especially was powerful.
Strong *** 😅 a Targaryen and a Strong
@@fabolous514
Well you’re definitely on the Green Side 😆
@@fabolous514 The boys are still Targaryens by their mother. It's the Valeryons they are in name only.
@@fabolous514 they want us to forget that part
The 4 people meaning so much to rhaenyra, she has lost so many people in this show.
I loved how the dragon “fight” scene was kinda like a horror movie scene
Yesssss. It was truly terrifying. I felt totally uneasy the entire scene while Luce and Arrax were stalked… then the scene where Vhagar passes over them and you see the two dragons size compared.. chilling.
Like jaws.
The casting and acting is what made this series so amazing. Everyone looked appropriate for their character and the acting was excellent all round. Kudos to the cast and show runners. They’re doing what needed to be done.
None of them are what I ever imagined & there’s quite a few inconsistencies between book and screen , but fuck it it’s a great show
Hard to believe it’s been five months since the finale
Aemond to Alicent - "I merely wanted to take out an eye mother...hmm.. but Vhagar suddenly got flashbacks of the conquest ...hmmm.. not my fault...hmm.. (walks away).
Hm.
Tell me why I read this in his voice lol
@@AngeliRivera92 due to that ...hmm... 😆😆
@@Harshitslaysss lol I did it again!!!! 🤣🤣
Alicent: didn’t you say it was a fair deal and I shouldn’t mourn it?
Aemond: No mother i had been holding grudges all this time. Hmm.
That Storm's End scene was super nerve-wracking to watch. The actor who played Lucerys brilliantly portrayed his struggle to balance his fear as a child and his duty as prince-envoy for his mother. Also Aemond's sapphire eye reveal was the cherry on top!
Truly appreciate that you include book excerpts to show us differences (between TV and book) but also give us more backstories especially for those who've never read the books! Thank you!
Rhaenys wasn't Jaehaerys's daughter as you state at around 13:24 , she was the daughter of Jaehaerys's firstborn son Prince Aemon and his wife Lady Jocelyn Baratheon (who was also the half sister to King Jaehaerys and his sister wife Queen Alysanne. This is why she had a strong claim to the the throne before the Great Council of 101; she was the first born child of the Crown Prince Aemon.
💯
100%
Aemond was like “oops”.
*Vhagar: He can keep his eye* 👁 😏
In the space of just a couple of days at most, Rhaenyra learned that she lost her father without getting to say goodbye, lost her son without getting to say goodbye, lost another child without even getting to say hello, she was betrayed by all of her siblings and betrayed by her childhood bestfriend.
Even though I knew what was coming, it didn't dawn upon me how much pain this would have caused her and how her whole life was flipped upside down until I actually seen it.
Brilliant episode and acting by Emma, Matt amd everyone involved. It will be a long wait until Season 2
Emma D’Arcy’s ability to show Rhaenrya’s reaction and transformation after her sons death without showing her face is a master class in acting.
Aemond's face after Vhagar ate Luke and Arrax: 👁️👄🧿
😂😂😂
Loooooool
Just finished it, good episode, and I loved Rhaenyra's face at the end. It's gonna be so hard to wait until the next season, but it will be worth the wait. Let the war begin.
How long are we going to have to wait for season two? I was figuring two years?😢
@@IntellectualCuriosity 2024
@@neveragain9380 ouch thats long.
@@drdoombo984 yea I was pissed when I heard that. It takes 10 months to film and about a year to edit and release
@@neveragain9380 yup that’s what I thought!
Vhagar has been in several battles with Visenya. So many towers , castles and enemies burned. The moment Arrax, a juvenile dragon, fought back. Vhagar took it for war, she is 200+ years old. Daenerys says “A dragon is not a slave.” Viserys says “It is an illusion to think we control the dragons.”
In the books, it’s stated dragonfire isn’t fatal to other dragons. Arrax lashed out- Vhagar is too old for that and fought back.
Fwiw here she's 179
Perhaps Vhagar had some sort of PTSD after all the battles she’s been through.
@@ohawwgeez3112 I wouldn't say PTSD more just her initial training of being a weapon of war as that was her primary purpose originally clicked or overroad Aemonds commands as that could be seen as an attack on the rider which they'd likely be trained to defend viciously.
Umm, considering the younger dragon was trying to flee, I think brought out Vhagar's hunting instincts therefore Aemond's real desire to kill his nephew 👎
Arrax attacked to kill Aemond. Instead he missed and burned Vhagar, who got mad for been challenged by a mosquito
Laena was wrong. Daemon was a better version of himself in Pentos. I'm a mom. I cannot imagine losing a baby and then my child all in the same week. It broke my heart. That, and Rhaenyra learning about her beloved father's death. Just tragic. Emma D'arcy & co. did a phenomenal job.
She wasn’t wrong in that her place was at drift mark with her family.
In the space of just a couple of days at most, Rhaenyra learned that she lost her father without getting to say goodbye, lost her son without getting to say goodbye, lost another child without even getting to say hello, she was betrayed by all of her siblings and betrayed by her childhood bestfriend.

I’m here for all of the war crimes Rhaenyra and Daemon finna inflict next season.
I am here for this comment lol I support and second this message.
Same. Team black all the way. Rhaenys should have torched them all at that BS coronation - yes I’m aware that couldn’t have happened but she still should have done it lol.
@@briengakaplan-b1550 shut up
And it's this attitude that would get the Blacks exterminated and their memories damned lol
This is *how* to write a descent to the dark side.. contrary to GOT
I love how Vaghar, literally roars "nooo" after killing them and Aemond shouting no, it's almost like she's doing it mockingly
Vhagar really has no fucks to give lmao
In the book, the reason why Aemond chased out Lucerys is because lady Baratheon prick his manhood, she called him cripple, so Aemond was angry and determinated to kill Lucerys. He can't control his emotion and now everyone call him "kinslayer".
@@madeline9668 yup perfect logic
RIP lucerys velaryon ....he was literally a child ,and he had so much potential. He never sought after power, and I think he would been a great lord of the tides😭💔.
Rhaenyra's fault, should have just let Aegon be King🤷🏻
In the history books rhaenyra is the Unsurper, Westeros doesn't consider a woman as ruler, she shoulda bent the knee🤷🏻
@Brown Kiss facts! stop put blame on others, it was, Aemond all along.
Luke shouldn't have laughed at that pig...😅
Lucerys Strong*
Otto handing the page from the history book to Rhaenyra as a message from Alicent is SO DAMN SAD. In the moment you see her distress manifested through Syrax, just as she was screaming during the traumatic stillbirth of her daughter. The moment gets even more depressing viewed from the perspective of the end of the episode. This can't be taken back, the only certainty in the upcoming civil war is people will die as the realm burns.
Rhaenyra just lost two children. Pretty sure that piece of paper is now null and void.
FX department did a great job of making Vhagar look terrifying. Even her head popping up when Luke arrived at Storm’s end got an audible “oh shit” out of me. She’s big af 😂 and then the battle scene where that lightning shows Vhagar’s lurking shadow compared to tiny Arrax…gave me the chills!
Can’t wait to see what Rhae has in store for the Greens (even tho I kinda read most of it this evening lol). I need revenge and I need to see it NOW!
13:30 . Rhaenys was not Jaehaerys' daughter. She was the daughter of his first son Aemon while Viserys was the son of his second son Baelon.
Yup… searching for this comment all this while 😊
Battle above God’s Eye might be the best scene in tv history if done correctly.
I really hope they do the water boiling
Perhaps my fav part of the book for how nuts Daemon is in it.
@@mildlydazed9608 Aemond: "you've lived too long uncle"
Daemon: "I agree"
Proceeds to mount dragon without safety chains. Fuck that's gonna be so epic.
Dude I didn't expect this small battle to be so epic but now that battle above god's eye would be amazing
will that be in season 2 likely? or in later seasons (I haven't read the books so don't know what that is or when it happens in the timeline but hope it's in season 2 from what you've said)
I hope Emma D'arcy had all the negroni sbagliato with prosecco they wanted after that epically fantastic performance!
😂 best answer ever
Did anyone else notice that the dragon riders both didn't mean to attack each other? It was actually the dragons that initiated the attacks and both riders begged for their dragons to obey
Viserys was the only Targaryen that was smart about the dragons. He knew they couldn't truly be controlled. Also Vhagar at her age probably gave no fucks anymore and didn't even think twice about killing poor Luce and Arrax
That Baratheon king ancestor was funny af 🤣.... a true Baratheon
It seems like Aemond legit didn't plan to kill Luke. They both realized oh shit we can't control our dragons too late.
That's the whole point of the Doom of Valeria. Man cannot control the forces of magic. They may ride the dragons, but the Valerians never controlled them. I'm still debating whether or not Daemon understands this.
Yes no matter how small or big the dragon is you can't control them...
@@grayden4138 Its interesting because Dragons are their version of Nukes in a way. The bible uses that symbolism of Dragons and beasts in revelations too.
Didn’t aemond tried to kill Luke with a rock earlier this season ? I mean that’s why he lost an eye
@@grayden4138 not true this was changed from the book
Her look in that last scene. That's Rhaenyra choosing violence.
Daemon pulls my heart strings because regardless his mistakes he still 100% loves his brother and niece I mean wife lol
Then why does he choke her
I think he chokes her because he's mad hisbig bro didn't trust him enough to tell him about aegons prophecy and since rhaenyra is the only one around she gets the blame/anger
How you can summarize the episode so fast after it comes out is actually stunning
Props to you
Bigger RUclips channels usually get early access
Rhaenyra: Let us consider whether or not we should go to war
Everyone else: *OOGA BOOGA DRAGONS GO BRRRRR*
This episode wanted us to see the dragons and their owners have a link so Aemond just proved he really wanted to kill his nephew even when saying no or he really doesn't control his dragon at all.
I think that’s his nephew
@@juneplumlogan lol that’s why the t fam is fun bc cousin could apply to just about any of them (technically thru daemon adopted cousin) aha this show is so wild
Nah the Dragon got mad is all an the connection riders have to dragons is real but so random no one knows how it really works but he travels the world on its back and tells it when to kill so i wouldn't say no control lol.
Even trained dogs can bite
It's like Viserys said having control over the dragons is just an illusion
@@juneplumlogan your right, All this incest confuse me.
Rhaenyra lost 2 kids in a week, & her dad. We thought Cersi got crazier after losing her kids; this is about to be epic!!
whatt???
@@user-tamilan8 Aegon the broken
🐉🏰👑 The moment when Aemond realized what he & Vhagar just did and Rhaenyra’s face of pain and vengeance when she was told of Luke’s death are incredible parallels.
how can anyone like the greens even alicent she new rhanery wouldn't accept those terms she should've burned Otto on sight
Dude, you are on it. Love how fast these videos come out. Great job all season.
Its already leaked 2 days earlier. 👍
Vhagar ripped him apart like bread😢
Vhagar ripped him apart like I do it to my girlfriend’s underwear
Said the virgin
She eat them like a fly..
And even though the dragons acted at their own will, we can clearly see they are the reflection of their own riders. Arrax completely young, innocent, threatened with low confidence like Luke is and Aemond ever sinister, teasing and confident as Vhagar is. A sad end to a start of a war.
Luke seems not confident, but he is smart. He made right choices to avoid Vhagar in between the creek, but lashing out fire was perhaps a bad idea.
@@rebeka145 Arrax did that himself though, not at Luke's behest. He never said dracarys.
@@sharersale6480 perhaps he wanted to scare him. Fire wont kill dragons anyway
@@rebeka145 arrax did that on his own. Luce clearly says no arrax obey after he does that
I really appreciate that you tell in advance about book spoilers, and that’s why I only watch your reviews… others just blurt out what’s going to happen and that drives me mad.
It was at this very moment Aemond knew…he fawk’d up 😂00:28
A lot of people are unhappy with the change from the book, however the book is maesters recounting stories... All season it's been hinted that the control of Dragons is an illusion.
The way I interpreted this was that in Episode 7 Aemond says 'Its okay Mother, I may have lost an eye but I gained a Dragon' and now obsessing over that eye has symbolically broken the bond he had with Vhagar causing her to disobey him in this moment.
I dont think it was that deep, she was attacked by the other Dragon and responded ..
Great point! Going for the eye, Aemond lost the dragon.
Wow that last part was deep af!
Also I noticed daemon nor rhaenys have said anything to there dragons yet the dragons react according to how they feel. I feel the only way too "control" a dragon is thru years of bonding and not using a weapon of mass destruction as a toy....
@@Copernicus91 fax , vhagar a war dragon
@@GeeGodlyy Exactly .. and Aemond understands that now
I absolutely love your videos. They’re so thorough, showing differences between the books and show and you explain each one so well.
I mean, if aegon’s prophecy hadn’t been such a secret then alicent wouldn’t have even mistaken viserys to be talking about their son when he died lol. Really could’ve saved everyone a lot of trouble!!
Im also really glad they kept daemon strangling rhaenyra. People should hate it. It drives me crazy to see them romanticized- I like their relationship as it’s complex but like you said daemon isn’t a nice guy and their relationship was never healthy. The parts in the book, particularly when she was young and he was “teaching” her about sex is just textbook grooming and abuse. I’m glad they toned that part way down in the show but I’m glad they’re keeping the reality of when you’re in a relationship with similar dynamics. It’s nothing to romanticize because there’s no such thing as a man who is violent and tormented and troubled to everyone “but” his woman- it’s a fairytale that always comes to an end, as we saw when he strangled her. He murdered rhea and didn’t see laena as his equal partner. His relationship with rhaenyra may be unique from the other two but at the end of the day he’s still daemon and he didn’t treat the other women poorly because they weren’t as good as rhaenyra, it was simply because daemon has issues and is dangerous to be in a relationship with, period. But many people have poor relationship models growing up and hang onto fantasies of two broken people coming together to be whole and to heal and experience true love that they never had. But it’s a fantasy and I’m glad the show is keeping true to what makes the material so phenomenal- the realistically human aspects of the characters.
Sorry for the rant, but thanks for your breakdown and humor as always!
Very well said. Agreed with everything . Rant appreciated .
Great stuff. It's just not long enough man. Need more episodes or longer ones. At least for the finale. But, that's a good problem to have that I want more of it. Everything was just so well done. And I'm so stoked to finally see an external shot of Storm's End. Got to see the interior and the courtyard too. It's more impressive than Dragonstone even.
It’s a fucking hour long dudez
@@cainsalem3544 I more mean that with how much content they're pushing, they need more time. Though, I would like an hour and a half finale.
@@cainsalem3544 you thought that 50 odd minutes were enough???
@@cainsalem3544 wasn’t enough
We have to wait almost two years for season 2 😔
finally caught a live show and I just finished so I immediately came here for the breakdown! :)
I think it’s kind of interesting that people were lightly brushing up on the subject of the kids having literal “living nukes/ weapons”…. For Lucerys’ death to be accidental, it reminds me of the kids that play with their parents guns and accidentally hurt themselves or their family because they think it’s a toy or their parents never taught them proper gun safety stuff.
Excellent breakdown! Congratz for all the hard work put into this video. Keep it up
I love these breakdowns. Having never read the books it definitely gives me better insight as to the decisions that were made for each of the episodes the finale in particular. Thank you so much for making these and giving me some much-needed backstory to help fill in the gaps I enjoy the show so much better now with that information that you’ve provided!
I got spoiled reading comments about what happens to Lucerys before I saw this episode. Watching his scenes leading to his end was so heartbreaking, and even knowing it, I still gasped when Vhagar chomped.
This has been such an incredible ride!!!!! I love this show and these reviews right afterwards 🔥 🔥 🔥
When a dog is in attack mode it’s hard to get them off also. What was Aemond thinking.
Rhaenyra also includes both Baela and Rhaena in the council meeting and calls them to the table with all the men, she acknowledges Rhaenys’ help as well. Truly a woman taking charge 👌🏽👌🏽
How powerful the Dance of the Dragons scene was, proving that the best action scenes don't always need 1000s of swords swinging to be impactful.
I'm still shook 😅
The last shot on her face was perfection & the only way id of wanted to season to end....epic! Can't wait fir season 2 now!
Thank you for your videos all season long. It was a pleasure going on the journey with you. Great analysis and always a good chuckle every episode. Can’t wait for season 2!
Aemonds reaction to killing him had me dying😂
Aemond you mean?
You must have gotten the directors cut.
@@ImaginePIays all these names got me confused
Bro had flashbacks when deamon killed aemond 😭💀😂.
Lmfao
@@joshuahernandez2128 Yeah, it's like Roman names. Which are even worst man. There's like.... 24 names or something and ALL main Romans use them generation after generation haha. At least in the early Republic.
The fact that Vhagar is sooooooo biig that she made Arrax look like an ant, made me want to see how big was balerion the black dread.
Appreciate the breakdown and you clueing me in on all the little nuances....since I am finding myself missing em all as Im 100% zoned into the storyline at all points when watching
I love how you explain things by referencing the book!
Omg that ending Rhaenyras face of rage - do we really have to wait another year HBO 😭😭😭
I think it's 2 years. But yeah, I cannot wait for the next season. Hopefully time goes fast!
@@SensaiGaia1 nooooooooooo 😢😢😢😢 that’s too long
2 years is absolutely stupid. They need to pay more money for faster turnarounds fuck this bullshit 2 years. Wtf imma be a fucking senior citizen with these long ass wait times. Lololol
@@purvue for real that’s what i said! Like what if I’m not even alive in two years 😂 I wanna know what happens 😩
@Pugna. Now I want to see if your complaint of grammar spills over to the irony of not wanting to read my lengthy response. 😑
Aemond when shyt went left…
👁👄⚫️
Love the actual text references! This is a lot of work!
I had absolutely NO idea Vhagar was THAT big… When he initially flew over top of Lucerys I just put my face in my hands and said the I Father….
vhagar is a female dragon i "misgender" her all the time too but seeing what happens when she's a little bit mad ill never do it again
I knew how it would end but I kept yelling hide Luke hide! 😭
@@ajheartsong x2!!! I saw Arrax and Luke as Toothless and Hiccup and kept cheering for them to make it out of there 😢
@@danielhughes5932 "misgendering" is a politically charged froo froo liberal word made up in the past 10 years. It's mistaking the sex of the animal.
Same... Like the scale of Vhaegar didn't register in my head until that scene. I audibly gasped.
Loved the look on Aemond's face when he realised what he had done. Puts some new context on the whole Kinslayer thing.
YESS!!! Much book changes! I'm off from work so I'm here for the breakdown! Was waiting for this!! I am team Velaryon Corlys and Rhenays were badass in this, whomever they support, I'll go along with lol. They are really making up for whatever GoT lacked in the end. I like the analysis of Aemond as a kid with a WMD he doesn’t know how to control it
When corly heard of vaemonds death he also heard that it was because he was enacting treason ,and defying the throne ,not to mention that he was going against Corly's wishes in order to grab his throne before Corlys had even died.
So yeah corlys was upset about his death, but also understood why ,and probably even thinks that death isn't an extreme punishment for what he did, sadly in westeros brothers aren't usually raised together so they mostly likely didn't have a very strong bond.
Please keep the show and book comparison. Love this!
m8 I genuinely find your videos funny and engaging. Thanks for keeping these up.
Loved the show and the significance of dragons that can not be completely controlled is important to this underlying meaning.
Helaena’s children are Aemond’s not Aegon’s.
11 reasons why
Reasons: 1) In episodes 7 Aegon says he doesn’t want to marry her and Aemond says that he would and perform his duties.
2) Aegon doesn’t care for his duties that’s why Helaena never seems to know where Aegon is.
3) In episode 8 when Helaena gives her speech about marriage she says “it’s not that bad he mostly just ignores you” then she takes a pause as she looks at everyone realizing that if Aegon ignores her all the time than how could he be the father her children. Then she says “accepts when he’s drunk” to cover her own behind and her children. And then everyone starts laughing and Otto says “Good” as in good you managed to save your own behind.
4) When Jace ask Helaena to dance Aegon looks at Aemond like he knows about him and Helaena and to keep a cool head as to not expose themselves by getting angry for asking Helaena his lover to dance.
5) In episode 9 right before Otto and Alicent come in to her chambers to ask where Aegon is she tells her children that if one sibling is giving everything the other will get jealous and want to take it themselves which represent Aemond he feels that the Iron Throne and Helaena should be his not Aegon’s.
6) Right after Helaena tells Otto and Alicent that she doesn’t know where Aegon is Otto storms off to come up with a plan to find and Alicent tries to talk with him and she says “Father” and you can hear one of Helaena’s children says “Aemond”.
7)Aemond looks shocked to find Alicent in Helaena’s chambers and Helaena looks at him them looks down nervously since they both know they shouldn’t be in her chambers alone since she is a married women and Targaryen’s are known for incest which can cause rumors to spread about them and the legitimacy of her children.
8)Aemond tells Ser Criston that he’s next in line for the throne if Aegon is dead or cannot be found. This statement would only be true if Helaena’s children weren’t Aegon’s . If Aegon was dead or they couldn’t find him then Aegon and Helaena’s first born would be next in line not Aemond. But he knows he is next in line because Helaena’s children are his bastards.
9)Aemond says “Tis I the younger brother who studies history and philosophy, it is I who trains with the sword, who rides the largest dragon in the world, it is I who should be….” Then pauses and many people thought he was referring that he should be the king but as episode 9 goes on he doesn’t care about others knowing his ambition to be king. The reason he paused was because he was going to say “It is I who should be with Helaena.” Ser Criston says he knows the feeling of not being able to have what you want in Ser Criston case who you want which Ser Criston wants Alicent. This leads me to believe that Aemond was talking about how Helaena should have been his wife”.
10) This show emphasizes characters hair as a way to determine parentage if you notice Aegon and Helaena both have wavy curly hair but “their” children have straight hair just like Aemond.
11) When it looked as if Rhaenys was going to burn them with her dragon Aemond protects Helaena and she grabs his arm when I believe the show depicts her as being autistic since she some characteristics like she doesn’t like physical contact when Alicent hugs her in episode 8 she just stand still with her arms down and in episode 9 Alicent tries to console her by touching her arm she pulls away so if she is portrayed as being autistic as I believe she is. She would only have physical contact with someone she trust like her lover Aemond.
Flew past me. Thank you for this.
oh god 🙄
No they aren't read the books
@@Ian-zf5ss Not everything in the book is factual since in the books Fire and Blood, Rogue Prince and the Princess and the Queen are corroborated by unreliable sources such as mushroom etc. unlike the asoiaf which are from the pov of the characters. In the show they will show what actually happened that is why not everything in the show is book accurate because the book in itself wasn’t meant to be accurate.
@@zaddy3782 Even so, unless the show writers deliberately change something it won't be. Plus why is the show writers interpretation any more valid then by ur logic? Even if Fire and Blood is unreliable it is still the only source material present.
Dude your narration is on point
Your perspective is refreshing.
I really felt the acting of Rhaenyra, you can somewhat feel the pain coursing through the whole episode, of being brought on the news of her father's death, the usurped throne that's supposed to be hers, the unwanted labor and her son's death as well, that's 4 unfortunate events. I mean if she's going to be a MAD Queen on the next season, imma say she better be.
The line was already thin and there's no stopping it now, and they have more dragons as well If they burn kingslanding and the green council, might as well burn all of it down tbh.
She's is great
To have her child killed like that...... I am a very rational person but when it comes to my kids...... My heart broke for her. When you lose an infant so may wild things go through your mind but to lose another right after. You can see what leads to her descent into madness and have a better understanding of her actions as the dance goes on. They spent time setting it up so it makes sense unlike what happened with Daenarys in GOT.
As someone who didn't read the books I'm really loving this show
It’s so much happening, I was lost. Thanks for the breakdowns this season.
Really enjoyed all your breakdowns after the shows mate, well done.
Otto was the one poisoning the king, not the king’s wife. If you look at the series the king was a deaths door earlier in the timeline, then after Otto got sacked the King made a recovery and went on to live another ten years, then as soon as Otto came back as the hand the Kings health then nosedived again and he died.
I loved the dragon fight though, interesting that they are going with the Dance of Dragons being caused by accidents/misunderstandings rather than people doing it deliberately….
Remember, when Viseris declined a cup from Otto? By not taking that cup he was at least able to move to the iron throne to defend rheanera ?
The suspense on the last part of the episode was gut wrenching (even with me knowing the result of that chase). Scene was well made!
Great recap. Thank you!
