Daemon was hurt that Viserys didn’t trust him with the ice & fire prophecy, you can see the hurt in his eyes, and he grabs her throat right when she says “he told me when he named me heir.” Daemon was heir for years but Viserys never told him apparently. He shouldn’t have choked Rhaenyra but that’s why he did it, plus all the other turmoil of losing his brother, his new baby, almost losing Rhaenyra, remembering losing Laena and their baby, and feeling the need to act but not being allowed to. He acted out and transferred it all onto his love.

This is so true haha, it's partly the shows fault for making Rhaenyra seem like the good guy when the Dance is about two power hungry factions with neither any better than the other really.
Simple answer, people care about Rhaenyra compared to characters you dont know much about., so it hits you emotionally in a different way. Would you care more if your mother got physically hurt or if 10 random people you never knew died?
@@seda6968 this is true I think people think Daemon isn’t that bad lol I love him but he’s literally said to in the book love mutilating his enemies in battle and takes extra joy chopping their limbs off
18:08 "why sapphire?" Most likely Aemond took the inspiration from a legendary figure in Age of Heroes (thousands of years before current timeline), Symeon Star-Eyes who was blind and replaced his eyes with sapphire. 18:35 "why it's gotta be storming?" The place where the scene was is from Storm's End, and it's eternally cursed with relentless storms. Again, in the Age of Heroes, Duran Godsgrief angered the sea god and wind goddess by stealing away their daughter to take as his wife. The gods sent storms to destroy his castle, got destroyed but Duran built another which is larger and more formidable than the last, but kept getting destroyed, repeat cycle, until the seventh keep he built (with the help of Bran the Builder, the one who built The Wall) endured the storm thus the name Storm's End came to be.
I think the sapphire was just because he has blue eyes. Like, one blue and one green would be mismatched. Also, there's no proof that Bran the builder actually built Storm's End. The legends just ascribe any impressive structure to him, and it's been strongly implied that he didn't even exist, or as one single person at least
15:25 That's Vermithor, the Bronze Fury, formerly the dragon of King Jaehaerys I. The only living dragon that comes close to Vhagar in mass. 15:35 No. A dragon will only take one rider as long as they know that rider lives, and they can smell other dragons so nobody could claim more than one.
Aemond was like " Gods damnit Vhagar." 😐 That dragon does what it wants. Also, a little side observation, Lord Baratheon appears to be an extremely intelligent tactician who picks and chooses his battles wisely. One weakness though, I think mans suffers from dyslexia and has a hard time reading. He doesn't like appearing dumb to his subjects that's why he was asking for the maester.
Aemond: ''we do a lil trollin'' Vhagar: ''I dont'' but are people really surprised that a guy who smashed his wife with a rock and killed an innocent man so he could groom his niece is somehow a good guy?
"House Targaryen have produced both great men and monsters Damon Targaryen was both, a hero to some an villain to most" This is who he is as a character both in the lore of F&B and the show. You can like him as a character and not accept his flaws as well.
The fact that most of these reaction videos are done by people who don’t seem to be familiar with the source material makes the reactions that much better.
10:13 He's Daemon Targaryen, the Rogue Prince and Protector of the Realm Fun fact: In the books while Daemon was crowning Rhaenyra he kept the "Protector of the Realm" title for himself
lucerys, if not Rhaenyra's favorite, is the one that needs most care and protection. I would often see him either holding his mommy's hand or hugging her whenever he feels scared or stressed. probably was his last thoughts to be honest, just coming back home to his mom.
"By the way, your son is still alive. He's just off being gay somewhere, living his best life" LOL. Hilarious reaction as always, fam! I'm glad we "casual" fans can still have a good time with the show -wink wonk-😉🤣
😂 “Don’t worry, your son is still alive. He’s just off somewhere being gay. Living his best life. Don’t worry, he’s great.” If Rhaenyra doesn’t say it like that, I don’t want to hear it 🤣
Daemon is not a good person . He wasnt since episode 1 . He disrespect his first wife then killed her in cold blood . He tried to had sex with Rhaenera when she was a kid . He had sew with Rhaenera few hours after his second wife died . He wasnt there when Rhaenera needed him during her labour . So that little choke was nothing compared to what he did . I dont understand why people are suprised .
I really liked that the setup from the prophecy accounts for Rhaenyra’s change in philosophy from the books. Because there, she is furious and ambitious and ready to go to war because she believes the throne is all that’s important as she was raised to believe it was her sole right and duty… but the show introduced a separate element with the prophecy. Now, her duty isn’t to herself but to the realm and she has a decision to make. Is it more important that she sits the Iron Throne or that it stands united behind its king in the event that the great darkness should come in their lifetimes? It’s something she has to take into account, even though no one else will, because it’s now something only she knows about. She can still make a claim for the throne, but it will come at the cost of the united realm her father held together for so many years and in advancing her claims in his name, she destroys his legacy in the process. The inclusion of the prophecy adds a whole new dimension to her character that simply isn’t present in the book, just like her friendship with Alicent, that means she is much more reluctant to want to go to war in the first place. Book Rhaenyra and Alicent loathe each other and were waiting for the first opportunity to stab each other but if that changes, then their reactions to his death have to likewise change. But what drives Rhaenyra away from even contemplating this path is the death of her youngest son, something she’ll believe is an act of intentional murder from which none of Alicent’s keepsakes will spare her wroth. (Even though Alicent sending the torn page from episode one was the second most heartbreaking moment of the episode for me and highlights what a tragedy has been imposed on these characters by circumstances around them.) It’s a tragic and poetic change from the source material that I really appreciate. I’ve generally been on Team Alicent before now but Rhaenyra really won me around to Team Black this time, this was her episode. 🖤
It was bad weather for flying, even for a dragon, and Arrax was struggling to stay aloft when Prince Aemond mounted Vhagar and went after him. Had the sky been calm, Prince Lucerys might have been able to outfly his pursuer, for Arrax was younger and swifter…but the day was “as black as Prince Aemond’s heart,” says Mushroom, and so it came to pass that the dragons met above Shipbreaker Bay. Watchers on the castle walls saw distant blasts of flame, and heard a shriek cut the thunder.
I suggest checking out the interview Emma did with GQ magazine, cos she actually addresses the choking scene with Daemon. It’s pretty insightful, and includes a bit of what she and Matt discussed regarding the emotions and motivations of Rhaenyra and Daemon in that moment. If it’s any consolation, according to them, Daemon had never been violent towards Rhaenyra ever in their marriage till that moment. It was to punctuate just how much being rejected by Viserys again (from beyond the grave) hurt Daemon + the trauma conga line of the day, that he crossed the line that he otherwise would never cross.
15:21 - That dragon is Vermithor, previously ridden by Daemon's grandfather, King Jaehaerys I, and the second biggest after Vhagar... My assumption is since he's not been ridden in a long time, Daemon's getting him used to human contact again, in hopes Vermithor will take another rider who'll fight for the Blacks...
The Dragon that Daemon was singing for is Vermithor The Bronze Fury and it's the second largest Dragon in the show and it once belonged to the Old king Jeaheares I Targeryan
15:20 he cant claim two dragons i think his just visiting an old friend to redo there bond to help get him another rider as he knows this dragon from his childhood, i think the dragon woulda smoked him if he didnt know him
Daemon is helping get the riderless dragons ready to claimed. I wonder if they’ll tell us if Rhaena has tried to bond with any of the Dragonmont dragons, she has been living there for 6-7 years now.
@@havec6866 a violent man will be a violent man, the writers have been showing since the very first episode who daemon is, its not their fault hotd fandom is delusional
@@havec6866 not bad writing imo, Daemon reacted to Rhaenyra talking about Viserys and the prophecy, his reaction is clearly rooted in his complicated feelings over Viserys’ death and feeling hurt that Viserys never trusted him with the prophecy. He also almost lost Rhaenyra in childbirth just like Laena. He’s in emotional turmoil and acting out like a violent child in that moment bc he doesn’t have the best coping skills. Seems perfectly in character to me, and Matt Smith shows all of this in his performance this episode. His performance has been on point
@@stephenjenkins7971 my point still stands. The writers are braindead, I didn't see them call Rhaenys a fking mass murderer for episode 9 But now she wants her husband to fight a war she could've ended with one word? If you want more seasons then don't add a dumb scene that causes problems. It's fking season 8 all over again. No logic just (yaaaas queen) and spectacle moments.
If you do rewatch GoT, be careful around Season 3. Joffrey spoils the ending of this era of the Targaryens whilst talking to Margaery (because he didn't cause enough harm in the original show lol)
The translation was confirmed thanks to the language's creator, David J. Peterson (via Archive Of Our Own). In it, it is revealed that the name of the song Daemon sings to Vermithor is "With Three Heads". Check the English translation: Fire breathes, winged leader but two heads For a rosary to sing From my voice: the fireworks spoke And the price was paid with blood magic With words of fire with clear eyes To tie the three together for you I sing As one we come together And with three heads We'll fly like we should beautifully, freely 8:41 In the book Aemond he kills Luke and because he wanted to, different in the series they are showing in the series that he is sorry, In the book Aemond he kills Luke because he wants to and when he gets home he celebrates and Aegon and Alicent celebrate Luke's death differently from the series they put as an accident the Two lost control of the dragons in the book there is no such thing as losing control of the dragons they ruined everything in the series but anyway Aemond killed Luke he could have prevented it It was just that he didn't follow Luke but that idiot Aemond went after him boy now he's going to face all the consequences now I'm wondering how they will do it in the series because in the book the greens are all happy about Luke's death by Alicent, Aegon and even Aemond so I'm wondering how they will do it this in the series because the writers put it as if it was an accident and that Aemond didn't want to kill Luke unlike in the book where he kills Luke because he wants to, I didn't really like it, they did it just to make people feel sorry for the greens in my opinion , in the book Aemond kills Luke because he wanted to kill Luke unlike the series which showed that it was an "Accident" but depending on how Aemond was and guilty of Luke's death he could have avoided it. if you followed Luke then he wouldn't kill Luke anymore as if Aemond was an idiot, an idiot is an idiot, he fucked up and now the greens are going to pay for everything they did. 20:12 Rhaenyra's baby would be a girl and her name would be Visenya and Rhaenyra wasn't dreaming about a dragon giving birth. Her own dragon, Syrax, was screaming in pain at her because they are so bonded. If you notice during the Battle of the Stepstones, Caraxes screams when Daemon is hit by an arrow. this shows how Rhaenyra and Daemon have a great connection to their dragons. Rhaenyra's anger burns throughout the transition was so well done, her anger is completely justified compared to how they did Daenarys Daemon, as crazy as it sounds, he loved his brother. From the scene where he stopped Corlis talking shit about Viserys in ep 1, helping with the throne to mourning on the beach. I don't think Daemon wanted to show weakness because Rhaenyra was more vulnerable and it wasn't easy. (His last wife died in childbirth, and I believe it is also said that his mother died in childbirth and Viserys's wife died in childbirth.) So the only thing he could do was prepare for the war he knew was coming. for coming. The scene on the beach was much longer with him on the beach Matt the actor he filmed a scene on the beach the daemon suffering from the death of his baby who was a girl and her name was the series visenya but HBO preferred to remove this scene the daemon he is no longer a saint he loves his family he loves his children and really rhaenyra unfortunately the writers prefer not to show that side of him too much, i think the reason daemon didn't go to rhaenyra when she was giving birth is because he was afraid having to make an impossible choice. The last woman he had complications with died. He didn't want to have to make that choice for Rhaenyra. He couldn't lose her like this. As he fell to his knees, he was relieved that she was okay and had survived. Rhaenyra didn't want help during the birth because of her mother's death. She wanted to take that baby away so she wouldn't suffer the same fate. This series/book is awesome... Matt Smith said that Daemon would give his life for Viserys and Rhaenyra. I fully believe he was heartbroken to see his brother in that condition. in the books Alicent she hates Rhaenyra she was always so jealous of Rhaenyra so much that I wanted Rhaenyra to die no and how in the series it shows that Alicent is like that and because in the books she does things because she is a bad person Let's see the losses Rhaenyra lost mother and father and daughter and son and Daemon lost father and mother in childbirth and also lost his wife who is Laena and son and now he lost brother and daughter and two other children They are suffering, but each of their own paths, the daemon starts to prepare for war because he knows Otto very well and is afraid of losing his family One thing I will say is that they both really love each other rhaenyra she can't survive without the daemon They are the best couple like it or no, they are everyone's popular Daemyra forever Emma Darcy who plays Rhaenyra she says the daemon never laid a hand on Rhaenyra this was the first time Rhaenyra her character didn't really care because she knows the daemon did it and because he is angry and is letting his emotion out and she also says which character of hers cares most about what she just found out the daemon doesn't know about prophecy because Rhaenyra I thought the daemon knew because he was viserys' heir for 10 years that's why she put on a smile side of her mouth because she just found out that her father always chose her and Rhaenyra had her doubts if her father wanted her as heir remember episode 2 when Rhaenyra talks to Alicent because now after years he got her answer The daemon must be sad because he is his brother and he just found out that he was never chosen and that his brother never trusted him enough to tell him and that is more moving A script came out for the first season that HBO thought about putting a scene in the story that Viserys I was thinking about telling the daemon so he starts talking to the daemon but then gives up but they didn't put this scene in unfortunately I think the biggest reason people didn't like the scene of Daemon choking Rhaenyra is because he's supposed to be a bad guy to the greens but the protector of his family. Daemon is not a saint, but he is definitely not a villain. He does a lot of bad things, but he's a gray character, and loving his family and protecting them is one of his redeeming qualities and some writers are trying to take that away from him. There are two teams, the Green Team that belongs to Alicent and the Black Team that belongs to Rhaenyra, I hope to see Rhaenyra with fire in her eyes in the second season, The Greens will pay for everything they did.
A common question is if one person can claim more than one dragon. Although I do not know if you can or not but you can for sure tame more than one and go into battle with the dragon you already claimed, We saw it with Dany. She rode Drogon and the other two were loyal to her.
Vhagar: “I’m the strongest dragon that you’ll ever see😌” Ghidorah “really? Because I can literally kill you with just my 2 tails🤨” Vhagar: “oh uh, I meant….the most strongest dragon on earth 😰” Smaug: “wrong again, nerd😏” Vhagar: ****screaming like a girl😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Hi Alyska - Queen Rhaenyra's look at the end of episode reminded me of Daenery's look when Cersei ordered Missandei's head from GOT Season 8, Episode 4 -- It's so crazy to think of all the many wars in history may have been caused by mis-understandings and accidents/non-intentional actions. Proving war is NEVER THE ANSWER.
Rhaenya's look made me think of a quote from the X-Men comics: "The past is prologue, old friend. And the future I behold for you is WAR." (said by Erik Magnus Lensherr)
I wish the Prince Lucerys had reminded Aemond of his eye for a dragon it would have made the following scene even better. Now we are back to the days of GOT or Breaking Bad having to wait a long time for the next season of a good show.
Good thing it was raining on storms end so that they wont notice how luke pissed his pants when he saw vhagar, implying that aemond is also at storms end. I guess luke wont be able to smirk at aemond when they serve him another pig lmao!
Daemon acting like a violent and impulsive madman with everyone since episode 1 , black fan : « what did you do this Daemon ? You’re not a feminist man ? » Always so funny
Yes! Matt Smith has just been killing it with his performance if people just pay attention to how and why he reacts to things. Also I think when he choked Rhaenyra he was reacting to her talking about the prophecy, and he was hurt that Viserys never trusted him with it even though he’d been the heir, and he has a LOT of feelings tied up in that, plus almost losing Rhaenyra like Laena and losing his brother and needing to act, he doesn’t have the greatest coping skills and acted out violently, transferring his feelings onto Rhaenyra. It’s so common for people to do that and Matt Smith is crushing it imo
The Daemon never raised his hand to Rhaenyra in the books...that's Sarah the showrunner thing, she's already said in an interview that she doesn't like Daemon being loved by the fandom, even though he's GRRM's favorite character, and in the books he doesn't even have killed his first wife... SHE JUST WANTS TO MAKE HIM THE VILLAIN, so ridiculous they even have a petition to remove her from season 2!!
"it made sense if she just killed them then and there" - killing half of your own family over what might happen in the future when no real blood had been spilled yet at that point, is a anime villain gigachad move but has no rational or logical basis. Rhaenys hasn't read the book to know what happens next. What makes you think all the houses siding with Hightowers, the Faith of the Seven, etc would not rise in revolt against the Velaryons if they commit such a dastardly act of killing the king during his coronation? Oh and Rhaenys believes Rhaenyra killed her son lol.
10:02 like Daemon gives a F*ck!! 10:13 who the fuck he think he is???? He is the f*cking ROUGE PRINCE!! Lol, You stop chilling for Daemon now? He was always rouge. 11:49 cause Daemon killed his brother. If lucas turn back seeing the vhaghar he would have been alive. the scene was like Aemomd: I want his one eye. or just scare him Vhaghar: He can keep his eyes.
THE STORM HAS COME AND THE DANCE OD DRAGONS HAS BEGAN WITH THE DEATH OF LUKE AND ARRAX!!!!! Now you see why I told y'all to not get attached to any of these characters and now you have had a taste as to why my words hold true and it only going to get worse in the next season and the only ones I feel sorry for are the dragons. The dragon that Daemon was singing is known as the Bronze Fury and it was the former mount of King Jaeharys(the King who choose Verys as the next King) it is the second oldest and largest from Vhagar herself(Yes Vhagar is actually a she and in this time she is known as the Queen of All Dragons).
If you do rewatch game of thrones beware as Joffrey does spoil the death of a major character in this series when he is talking to Margaery in season 3 episode 4.
I guess the show could've done a little more to show that neither of them were in control of their dragon at the end, everyone's blaming the kid for engaging but his dragon was intimidated and acted on his own. But you can hear, and see with subtitles on that he's telling his dragon no but he has no control
Just for the record, Rhaenys killing the greens last episode wouldn't have solve anything. Alicent's youngest son is with the Hightowers and they would 100% have tried to do the same thing with him.
Probably would've rallied more supporters to the Greens as well. Not a good PR look to roast the royal family and crush a bunch of commoners during the king's coronation.
And Daeron is the best Targ in this time. Like, Blacks and Greens included. I'm team Green, but I'd cry nothing but tears of joy if Aegon and Aemond kicked the bucket and Daeron became king.
@@AstaraBrightwing the Hightowers alone have a larger army than Rhaenyra and her allies combined. And they'd be recruiting other great families in a world where a kinslayer just committed the highest of treasons. Yeah, it makes the dragon balance different, but the war is still happening.
@@sitting_nut the book calls any miscarriage "half dragon". Maegor had like a dozen of those. Those archmaesters who wrote that shit were smoking some weird shit man
Tho the choking scene was super OOC for daemon I dont even think it was about rhaenyra it was literally this pent up frustration of 10 years being heir and never told about the prophecy, (which by extension means his brother never saw him as a true heir nor trustworthy enough) his brother dying, his wife screaming for him and then miscarrying, seeing viserys crown as confirmation that he is dead and all this is happening. I think the reason he kept his distance from rhaenyra is because he was planning and trying to keep them safe. She's all he has left. Her and the kids. then you have otto the literal cause of all of this (he got alicent in the position that she's in, he suggested rhaenyra replace daemon as heir etc.) and he can't kill him like he wants too. Even as the audience we want them to kill Otto so I can't even imagine how daemon feels LOL
@@Longshanks1690 I personally don't think it was acceptable or okay I was mostly referring to people saying they can't trust him now which I think she can trust that he will plan and scheme and do what needs to be done. I was in no way condoning his actions. It kinda made him unwatchable for me to be honest
@@frnknstndrgqn Oh now he's "unwatchable" but not when he broke his ex-wife's spine to paralyze her then bashed her head in with a rock? I don't think you should look for good, honourable characters in this story. I won't spoil it for you since idk if you've read the books but this is a story about 2 power hungry, shitty sides causing pain and suffering to innocent people.
Dragon dreams have always been nightmares and prophecies of doom. Doom of Valyria, Song of Ice and Fire, beast beneath the boards, Aegon wearing the conquerors crown. Viserys thought his was a good omen that he would finally have a son but it was a dire warning of doom. It was a nightmare about his son stealing the crown and throne which caused a massive war that almost destroyed House Targaryen, his family and the realm. His son was never supposed to sit on that throne and the Hightowers were never supposed to rule
They aren’t baby dragons….they are full grown dragons just younger then Vaghar ….but not babies….all dragons are out matched during this compared to Vaghar with the exception of Cannibal but he has not appeared in the show
Daemon would never hurt his family in the books.. he probably wants to put some sense in her as she acts like her Fathers Also Daemon is driven purely on emotion and the lost of his brother, daughter , kingdom and his wife backing off probably push him .. but again he would never do that in the books.. Also if Alicent didn't stop Otto , he would probably send someone to kill Rhaenyra ,so Daemon preparing for war is understandable.. Also caraxes and Daemon is more than enough for vhagar
Honestly I was hoping to see the Unforgiving , Ruthless and the crazy Aemond Targaryen that we get from the book... so at first I didn't like what they did with him in this episode but after sitting on it for a while I actually really like it now... it just makes it more tragic and gives complexity to Aemond's character. I can't help but feel though that blood and cheese, dying of the dragons.. the whole civil war that is going to happen is because of a misunderstanding and an accident 🤣🤣🤣 but As someone who read fire and blood I'd give this season as a 8.5/10... some changes and inconsistencies here and there but overall a really good show. Hyped for season 2 🔥🔥🔥
Yes I loved this “change” also! I don’t see them as changes personally, and I love seeing what really happened! Fire and Blood is an inaccurate historical account written years later by a Maester who wasn’t around for the actual events. There are multiple conflicting accounts, rumors, etc. No one was with Aemond when it happened, so how could anyone know what he was thinking or the details of what really went down? All history books are full of untruths, and GRRM purposely write Fire and Blood to be unreliable. So to me we are just seeing the truth of what happened versus how the history books remember long past events, and it’s awesome that it’s way more complex than what history remembers. So cool!

People wear their family colors. In his case black and red. I'm using my understanding from the book to explain this to you.
Playing with that dragon fire will eventually get you burnt. Out here playing games with dragons. Viserys was right. Control of the WMDs is just an illusion. Hate it had to be Luke and even if not the intention, Aemond is at fault.
A very good episode a lot better then last episode I said in a earlier comment in episode 8 reaction that I had a feeling how season 1 would end and I was correct. Alyce if you continue to read fire and blood book and don't want spoilers for what to come next then stop reading at page 422.
It's cool how they show how dragons can be difficult to control. They're almost like loose cannons. Vhagar is a much older, OG dragon and ain't about to take no shit from some young wipper snapper dragon. She's simply too much dragon for Aemon to handle.
15:30 so no a Targaryen can only bond to one dragon at a time. Also that is Vermathor, the second largest living dragon and former mount to old king Jaehaerys that we saw at the opening of episode 1
Hi Alyska I enjoyed your reaction to House of the Dragon episode 10 your reaction was incredible I saw the episode too I really like it did you ?🏡🐉🐲🔥🗡🛡
19:49 Viserys did warn that control of the dragons is an illusion. So at that point, at that fight-or-flight situation, the dragons weren't listening to the dumb teenagers on their backs.

Most likely Aemond took the inspiration from a legendary figure in Age of Heroes (thousands of years before current timeline), Symeon Star-Eyes who was blind and replaced his eyes with sapphire.
18:35 "why it's gotta be storming?"
The place where the scene was is from Storm's End, and it's eternally cursed with relentless storms. Again, in the Age of Heroes, Duran Godsgrief angered the sea god and wind goddess by stealing away their daughter to take as his wife. The gods sent storms to destroy his castle, got destroyed but Duran built another which is larger and more formidable than the last, but kept getting destroyed, repeat cycle, until the seventh keep he built (with the help of Bran the Builder, the one who built The Wall) endured the storm thus the name Storm's End came to be.
Oh you think you are so smart now huh? 🫳🌿
Excellent knowledge
Still wouldve made it cooler if it was emerald
@@KelpyG. Another reason i think is that in the books Targaryens have purple eyes, so the saphire fits with that
I think the sapphire was just because he has blue eyes. Like, one blue and one green would be mismatched. Also, there's no proof that Bran the builder actually built Storm's End. The legends just ascribe any impressive structure to him, and it's been strongly implied that he didn't even exist, or as one single person at least
15:25 That's Vermithor, the Bronze Fury, formerly the dragon of King Jaehaerys I. The only living dragon that comes close to Vhagar in mass.
15:35 No. A dragon will only take one rider as long as they know that rider lives, and they can smell other dragons so nobody could claim more than one.
Aemond was like " Gods damnit Vhagar." 😐 That dragon does what it wants. Also, a little side observation, Lord Baratheon appears to be an extremely intelligent tactician who picks and chooses his battles wisely. One weakness though, I think mans suffers from dyslexia and has a hard time reading. He doesn't like appearing dumb to his subjects that's why he was asking for the maester.
Oh you non book reading sweet summer child
@@bilalwaheed1125 it was a guess lol
Arraks seems to lose his instinct of self preservation. No animal attacks a target 20 times bigger than itself.
@@Сайтамен facts, it was juvenile play. Granny Vhagar wasnt playing.
@@Сайтамен A dragon's first instinct is always to attack.
Aemond: ''we do a lil trollin''
Vhagar: ''I dont''
but are people really surprised that a guy who smashed his wife with a rock and killed an innocent man so he could groom his niece is somehow a good guy?
Missed opportunity for:
Vhagar: "I'm too old for this shit."
I thought I was free from this torture of waiting years for the next season of a show, can't believe I'm back into that again.
"We could have every green head on spikes before the fcking moon turns."
Gotta give the man points for optimism.
Narrator: It was at this moment that Aemond knew… he fucked up.
We need some arrested development memes on this “when have I ever admitted to making a mistake?”
well according to the books he wanted revenge
Rhaenyra's face at the end was pure "I will commit every war crime I can think of until the pain goes away"
Remember what Viserys told Rhaenyra: we don't really control dragons.
Viserys right when he say - The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion
Aemond: I want his eye!
Old Granny Vhagar: You want him to die? Alright cutie.
"House Targaryen have produced both great men and monsters Damon Targaryen was both, a hero to some an villain to most" This is who he is as a character both in the lore of F&B and the show. You can like him as a character and not accept his flaws as well.
That I think more than anything sums up his character. This episode we see the villain and monster.
@@alsndiego97 agree
The fact that most of these reaction videos are done by people who don’t seem to be familiar with the source material makes the reactions that much better.
10:13 He's Daemon Targaryen, the Rogue Prince and Protector of the Realm
Fun fact: In the books while Daemon was crowning Rhaenyra he kept the "Protector of the Realm" title for himself
lucerys, if not Rhaenyra's favorite, is the one that needs most care and protection. I would often see him either holding his mommy's hand or hugging her whenever he feels scared or stressed. probably was his last thoughts to be honest, just coming back home to his mom.
WHAT IF THIS WAS MY LAST STRAW?
Literally everyone watching knew that sending the kids on their own was a dumb idea.
"By the way, your son is still alive. He's just off being gay somewhere, living his best life" LOL. Hilarious reaction as always, fam! I'm glad we "casual" fans can still have a good time with the show -wink wonk-😉🤣
😂 “Don’t worry, your son is still alive. He’s just off somewhere being gay. Living his best life. Don’t worry, he’s great.” If Rhaenyra doesn’t say it like that, I don’t want to hear it 🤣
Daemon is not a good person . He wasnt since episode 1 . He disrespect his first wife then killed her in cold blood . He tried to had sex with Rhaenera when she was a kid . He had sew with Rhaenera few hours after his second wife died . He wasnt there when Rhaenera needed him during her labour . So that little choke was nothing compared to what he did . I dont understand why people are suprised .
I really liked that the setup from the prophecy accounts for Rhaenyra’s change in philosophy from the books.
Because there, she is furious and ambitious and ready to go to war because she believes the throne is all that’s important as she was raised to believe it was her sole right and duty… but the show introduced a separate element with the prophecy. Now, her duty isn’t to herself but to the realm and she has a decision to make.
Is it more important that she sits the Iron Throne or that it stands united behind its king in the event that the great darkness should come in their lifetimes? It’s something she has to take into account, even though no one else will, because it’s now something only she knows about. She can still make a claim for the throne, but it will come at the cost of the united realm her father held together for so many years and in advancing her claims in his name, she destroys his legacy in the process.
The inclusion of the prophecy adds a whole new dimension to her character that simply isn’t present in the book, just like her friendship with Alicent, that means she is much more reluctant to want to go to war in the first place. Book Rhaenyra and Alicent loathe each other and were waiting for the first opportunity to stab each other but if that changes, then their reactions to his death have to likewise change. But what drives Rhaenyra away from even contemplating this path is the death of her youngest son, something she’ll believe is an act of intentional murder from which none of Alicent’s keepsakes will spare her wroth. (Even though Alicent sending the torn page from episode one was the second most heartbreaking moment of the episode for me and highlights what a tragedy has been imposed on these characters by circumstances around them.)
It’s a tragic and poetic change from the source material that I really appreciate. I’ve generally been on Team Alicent before now but Rhaenyra really won me around to Team Black this time, this was her episode. 🖤
Seeing VHAGAR attacking a little dragon literally gave me “How To Train Your Dragon” vibes
It was bad weather for flying, even for a dragon, and Arrax was struggling to stay aloft when Prince Aemond mounted Vhagar and went after him. Had the sky been calm, Prince Lucerys might have been able to outfly his pursuer, for Arrax was younger and swifter…but the day was “as black as Prince Aemond’s heart,” says Mushroom, and so it came to pass that the dragons met above Shipbreaker Bay. Watchers on the castle walls saw distant blasts of flame, and heard a shriek cut the thunder.
I suggest checking out the interview Emma did with GQ magazine, cos she actually addresses the choking scene with Daemon. It’s pretty insightful, and includes a bit of what she and Matt discussed regarding the emotions and motivations of Rhaenyra and Daemon in that moment. If it’s any consolation, according to them, Daemon had never been violent towards Rhaenyra ever in their marriage till that moment. It was to punctuate just how much being rejected by Viserys again (from beyond the grave) hurt Daemon + the trauma conga line of the day, that he crossed the line that he otherwise would never cross.
u say things so straightforwardly without filtering. Kinslaying hello? That's why rhaenys didn't burn the Hightowers
People forget Deamond was killed his wife because he annoyed by her.
yeah, for someone who killed his wife just because he wanted to sleep with his underage niece instead, domestic violence is a paltry thing
@@tentathesane8032 don't say word to these people they think domestic violence is worse then murder what you expect from this people✌️
15:21 - That dragon is Vermithor, previously ridden by Daemon's grandfather, King Jaehaerys I, and the second biggest after Vhagar... My assumption is since he's not been ridden in a long time, Daemon's getting him used to human contact again, in hopes Vermithor will take another rider who'll fight for the Blacks...
VHAGAR THE QUEEN OF DESTRUCTION Ameond wants an eye of Luke but vhagar "He can keep his eye"
Hopefully season 2 will have a bit less childbirth
The Dragon that Daemon was singing for is Vermithor The Bronze Fury and it's the second largest Dragon in the show and it once belonged to the Old king Jeaheares I Targeryan
15:20 he cant claim two dragons i think his just visiting an old friend to redo there bond to help get him another rider as he knows this dragon from his childhood, i think the dragon woulda smoked him if he didnt know him
Aemond the bastard killa!
15:35 No, you can't claim multiple dragons. I think Daemon was just checking how Vermithor was doing and if he' still indeed in there.
I can't tell if this comment is a sarcasm or a real one LOL
Daemon is helping get the riderless dragons ready to claimed.
I wonder if they’ll tell us if Rhaena has tried to bond with any of the Dragonmont dragons, she has been living there for 6-7 years now.
@@Drummer4President That's my point in saying that Daemon is checking on Vermithor as he's gonna try to get him claimed by someone.
@@iconoclast6555 ok, I was just further clarifying your point, by pointing out why daemon was checking he was still there lol
@@Drummer4President yep I also just clarified my point because somebody in the comments made it seem like my comment didn't make any sense.
Don't do rewatch of GoT. GoT actually spoils the ending of HotD.

@@adityakadam8181 dumb choice by the writers is what it's called
@@havec6866 a violent man will be a violent man, the writers have been showing since the very first episode who daemon is, its not their fault hotd fandom is delusional
@@havec6866 The writers literally called Daemon a groomer from the start. It's the fangirls that are twisting it into the bad boy trope.
@@havec6866 not bad writing imo, Daemon reacted to Rhaenyra talking about Viserys and the prophecy, his reaction is clearly rooted in his complicated feelings over Viserys’ death and feeling hurt that Viserys never trusted him with the prophecy. He also almost lost Rhaenyra in childbirth just like Laena. He’s in emotional turmoil and acting out like a violent child in that moment bc he doesn’t have the best coping skills. Seems perfectly in character to me, and Matt Smith shows all of this in his performance this episode. His performance has been on point
@@stephenjenkins7971 my point still stands. The writers are braindead, I didn't see them call Rhaenys a fking mass murderer for episode 9
But now she wants her husband to fight a war she could've ended with one word? If you want more seasons then don't add a dumb scene that causes problems. It's fking season 8 all over again. No logic just (yaaaas queen) and spectacle moments.
I really wish they wouldn’t have spent the first season to set Rhaenyra up as the hero of the story.
hero?? haha reanyra is a weak characrer idk why some love her
If you do rewatch GoT, be careful around Season 3. Joffrey spoils the ending of this era of the Targaryens whilst talking to Margaery (because he didn't cause enough harm in the original show lol)
Alice's face and reaction from 13:00 on is exactly how tf everyone felt hahaha
nailed it.
The translation was confirmed thanks to the language's creator, David J. Peterson (via Archive Of Our Own).
In it, it is revealed that the name of the song Daemon sings to Vermithor is "With Three Heads". Check the English translation:
Fire breathes, winged leader
but two heads
For a rosary to sing
From my voice:
the fireworks spoke
And the price was paid
with blood magic
With words of fire
with clear eyes
To tie the three together
for you I sing
As one we come together
And with three heads
We'll fly like we should
beautifully, freely
8:41 In the book Aemond he kills Luke and because he wanted to, different in the series they are showing in the series that he is sorry, In the book Aemond he kills Luke because he wants to and when he gets home he celebrates and Aegon and Alicent celebrate Luke's death differently from the series they put as an accident the Two lost control of the dragons in the book there is no such thing as losing control of the dragons they ruined everything in the series but anyway Aemond killed Luke he could have prevented it It was just that he didn't follow Luke but that idiot Aemond went after him boy now he's going to face all the consequences now I'm wondering how they will do it in the series because in the book the greens are all happy about Luke's death by Alicent, Aegon and even Aemond so I'm wondering how they will do it this in the series because the writers put it as if it was an accident and that Aemond didn't want to kill Luke unlike in the book where he kills Luke because he wants to, I didn't really like it, they did it just to make people feel sorry for the greens in my opinion , in the book Aemond kills Luke because he wanted to kill Luke unlike the series which showed that it was an "Accident" but depending on how Aemond was and guilty of Luke's death he could have avoided it. if you followed Luke then he wouldn't kill Luke anymore as if Aemond was an idiot, an idiot is an idiot, he fucked up and now the greens are going to pay for everything they did.
20:12 Rhaenyra's baby would be a girl and her name would be Visenya and Rhaenyra wasn't dreaming about a dragon giving birth. Her own dragon, Syrax, was screaming in pain at her because they are so bonded. If you notice during the Battle of the Stepstones, Caraxes screams when Daemon is hit by an arrow. this shows how Rhaenyra and Daemon have a great connection to their dragons. Rhaenyra's anger burns throughout the transition was so well done, her anger is completely justified compared to how they did Daenarys
Daemon, as crazy as it sounds, he loved his brother. From the scene where he stopped Corlis talking shit about Viserys in ep 1, helping with the throne to mourning on the beach. I don't think Daemon wanted to show weakness because Rhaenyra was more vulnerable and it wasn't easy. (His last wife died in childbirth, and I believe it is also said that his mother died in childbirth and Viserys's wife died in childbirth.) So the only thing he could do was prepare for the war he knew was coming. for coming. The scene on the beach was much longer with him on the beach Matt the actor he filmed a scene on the beach the daemon suffering from the death of his baby who was a girl and her name was the series visenya but HBO preferred to remove this scene the daemon he is no longer a saint he loves his family he loves his children and really rhaenyra unfortunately the writers prefer not to show that side of him too much, i think the reason daemon didn't go to rhaenyra when she was giving birth is because he was afraid having to make an impossible choice. The last woman he had complications with died. He didn't want to have to make that choice for Rhaenyra. He couldn't lose her like this. As he fell to his knees, he was relieved that she was okay and had survived. Rhaenyra didn't want help during the birth because of her mother's death. She wanted to take that baby away so she wouldn't suffer the same fate. This series/book is awesome...
Matt Smith said that Daemon would give his life for Viserys and Rhaenyra. I fully believe he was heartbroken to see his brother in that condition. in the books Alicent she hates Rhaenyra she was always so jealous of Rhaenyra so much that I wanted Rhaenyra to die no and how in the series it shows that Alicent is like that and because in the books she does things because she is a bad person
Let's see the losses Rhaenyra lost mother and father and daughter and son and Daemon lost father and mother in childbirth and also lost his wife who is Laena and son and now he lost brother and daughter and two other children They are suffering, but each of their own paths, the daemon starts to prepare for war because he knows Otto very well and is afraid of losing his family One thing I will say is that they both really love each other rhaenyra she can't survive without the daemon They are the best couple like it or no, they are everyone's popular Daemyra forever
Emma Darcy who plays Rhaenyra she says the daemon never laid a hand on Rhaenyra this was the first time Rhaenyra her character didn't really care because she knows the daemon did it and because he is angry and is letting his emotion out and she also says which character of hers cares most about what she just found out the daemon doesn't know about prophecy because Rhaenyra I thought the daemon knew because he was viserys' heir for 10 years that's why she put on a smile side of her mouth because she just found out that her father always chose her and Rhaenyra had her doubts if her father wanted her as heir remember episode 2 when Rhaenyra talks to Alicent because now after years he got her answer The daemon must be sad because he is his brother and he just found out that he was never chosen and that his brother never trusted him enough to tell him and that is more moving A script came out for the first season that HBO thought about putting a scene in the story that Viserys I was thinking about telling the daemon so he starts talking to the daemon but then gives up but they didn't put this scene in unfortunately
I think the biggest reason people didn't like the scene of Daemon choking Rhaenyra is because he's supposed to be a bad guy to the greens but the protector of his family. Daemon is not a saint, but he is definitely not a villain. He does a lot of bad things, but he's a gray character, and loving his family and protecting them is one of his redeeming qualities and some writers are trying to take that away from him.
There are two teams, the Green Team that belongs to Alicent and the Black Team that belongs to Rhaenyra, I hope to see Rhaenyra with fire in her eyes in the second season, The Greens will pay for everything they did.
Daemon had Anakin moment when he choked his wife 🤣
A common question is if one person can claim more than one dragon. Although I do not know if you can or not but you can for sure tame more than one and go into battle with the dragon you already claimed, We saw it with Dany. She rode Drogon and the other two were loyal to her.
Love that cute roar Vhagar lets off after chomping on the little dragon
Vhagar: “I’m the strongest dragon that you’ll ever see😌”
Ghidorah “really? Because I can literally kill you with just my 2 tails🤨”
Vhagar: “oh uh, I meant….the most strongest dragon on earth 😰”
Smaug: “wrong again, nerd😏”
Vhagar: ****screaming like a girl😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Hi Alyska - Queen Rhaenyra's look at the end of episode reminded me of Daenery's look when Cersei ordered Missandei's head from GOT Season 8, Episode 4 -- It's so crazy to think of all the many wars in history may have been caused by mis-understandings and accidents/non-intentional actions. Proving war is NEVER THE ANSWER.
Rhaenya's look made me think of a quote from the X-Men comics:
"The past is prologue, old friend. And the future I behold for you is WAR."
(said by Erik Magnus Lensherr)
I wish the Prince Lucerys had reminded Aemond of his eye for a dragon it would have made the following scene even better. Now we are back to the days of GOT or Breaking Bad having to wait a long time for the next season of a good show.
Good thing it was raining on storms end so that they wont notice how luke pissed his pants when he saw vhagar, implying that aemond is also at storms end. I guess luke wont be able to smirk at aemond when they serve him another pig lmao!
I loved the foreshadow from ep 1 when viserys said that it was a myth that the rider controls the dragons and now we see it happening in this episode
Daemon acting like a violent and impulsive madman with everyone since episode 1 , black fan : « what did you do this Daemon ? You’re not a feminist man ? »
Always so funny
Saphire... Sa-FIRE. I think that's why. Also, I think it's cooler than an emerald personally
Daemon doesn't stay by Rhaenyra during birth because he's been through it with Leana too
Yes! Matt Smith has just been killing it with his performance if people just pay attention to how and why he reacts to things. Also I think when he choked Rhaenyra he was reacting to her talking about the prophecy, and he was hurt that Viserys never trusted him with it even though he’d been the heir, and he has a LOT of feelings tied up in that, plus almost losing Rhaenyra like Laena and losing his brother and needing to act, he doesn’t have the greatest coping skills and acted out violently, transferring his feelings onto Rhaenyra. It’s so common for people to do that and Matt Smith is crushing it imo
exactly
Jaime Lannister = KingSlayer
Criston Cole = Kingmaker
Aemond Targaryen = Kinslayer
Rhaenyra: Kinlayer
12:20 At this point, Laenor might be death for all they know
"The idea that we can control Dragons is an illusion" King Viserys.
P.S: I love your reactions. Stay Safe!! 😘❣️
Appreciate the content as always, Alyce!
she is the best.
The Daemon never raised his hand to Rhaenyra in the books...that's Sarah the showrunner thing, she's already said in an interview that she doesn't like Daemon being loved by the fandom, even though he's GRRM's favorite character, and in the books he doesn't even have killed his first wife... SHE JUST WANTS TO MAKE HIM THE VILLAIN, so ridiculous they even have a petition to remove her from season 2!!
"it made sense if she just killed them then and there" - killing half of your own family over what might happen in the future when no real blood had been spilled yet at that point, is a anime villain gigachad move but has no rational or logical basis. Rhaenys hasn't read the book to know what happens next. What makes you think all the houses siding with Hightowers, the Faith of the Seven, etc would not rise in revolt against the Velaryons if they commit such a dastardly act of killing the king during his coronation? Oh and Rhaenys believes Rhaenyra killed her son lol.
The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion . " - King Viserys Targaryen
10:02 like Daemon gives a F*ck!!
10:13 who the fuck he think he is????
He is the f*cking ROUGE PRINCE!!
Lol, You stop chilling for Daemon now? He was always rouge.
11:49 cause Daemon killed his brother.
If lucas turn back seeing the vhaghar he would have been alive. the scene was like
Aemomd: I want his one eye. or just scare him
Vhaghar: He can keep his eyes.
Can’t wait to watch after stream!!! Thank you for all the content as always!
3:43 it's cute to think that Daemon was traumatized by what happened to Laena, or that he actually cared deeply for her.
THE STORM HAS COME AND THE DANCE OD DRAGONS HAS BEGAN WITH THE DEATH OF LUKE AND ARRAX!!!!! Now you see why I told y'all to not get attached to any of these characters and now you have had a taste as to why my words hold true and it only going to get worse in the next season and the only ones I feel sorry for are the dragons.
The dragon that Daemon was singing is known as the Bronze Fury and it was the former mount of King Jaeharys(the King who choose Verys as the next King) it is the second oldest and largest from Vhagar herself(Yes Vhagar is actually a she and in this time she is known as the Queen of All Dragons).
If you do rewatch game of thrones beware as Joffrey does spoil the death of a major character in this series when he is talking to Margaery in season 3 episode 4.
Team Black, always 🖤
I guess the show could've done a little more to show that neither of them were in control of their dragon at the end, everyone's blaming the kid for engaging but his dragon was intimidated and acted on his own. But you can hear, and see with subtitles on that he's telling his dragon no but he has no control
Rhaenyra is probably like that’s only okay in the bedroom Daemon lol
Just for the record, Rhaenys killing the greens last episode wouldn't have solve anything. Alicent's youngest son is with the Hightowers and they would 100% have tried to do the same thing with him.
Probably would've rallied more supporters to the Greens as well. Not a good PR look to roast the royal family and crush a bunch of commoners during the king's coronation.
And Daeron is the best Targ in this time. Like, Blacks and Greens included. I'm team Green, but I'd cry nothing but tears of joy if Aegon and Aemond kicked the bucket and Daeron became king.
@@AstaraBrightwing the Hightowers alone have a larger army than Rhaenyra and her allies combined. And they'd be recruiting other great families in a world where a kinslayer just committed the highest of treasons. Yeah, it makes the dragon balance different, but the war is still happening.
I’m unaware if they changed it - but within the book, the stillborn child is her only daughter - named Visenya
Yes that is correct
@@sitting_nut the book calls any miscarriage "half dragon". Maegor had like a dozen of those. Those archmaesters who wrote that shit were smoking some weird shit man
Tho the choking scene was super OOC for daemon I dont even think it was about rhaenyra it was literally this pent up frustration of 10 years being heir and never told about the prophecy, (which by extension means his brother never saw him as a true heir nor trustworthy enough) his brother dying, his wife screaming for him and then miscarrying, seeing viserys crown as confirmation that he is dead and all this is happening. I think the reason he kept his distance from rhaenyra is because he was planning and trying to keep them safe. She's all he has left. Her and the kids. then you have otto the literal cause of all of this (he got alicent in the position that she's in, he suggested rhaenyra replace daemon as heir etc.) and he can't kill him like he wants too. Even as the audience we want them to kill Otto so I can't even imagine how daemon feels LOL

The best Reaction i ever seen💚
Dragon dreams have always been nightmares and prophecies of doom. Doom of Valyria, Song of Ice and Fire, beast beneath the boards, Aegon wearing the conquerors crown. Viserys thought his was a good omen that he would finally have a son but it was a dire warning of doom. It was a nightmare about his son stealing the crown and throne which caused a massive war that almost destroyed House Targaryen, his family and the realm. His son was never supposed to sit on that throne and the Hightowers were never supposed to rule
They aren’t baby dragons….they are full grown dragons just younger then Vaghar ….but not babies….all dragons are out matched during this compared to Vaghar with the exception of Cannibal but he has not appeared in the show
Sapphire is because in books Targaryen has violet eyes
Finally no small sh*t popup window like others reaction videos, full size, perfect! 5*
Daemon would never hurt his family in the books.. he probably wants to put some sense in her as she acts like her Fathers Also Daemon is driven purely on emotion and the lost of his brother, daughter , kingdom and his wife backing off probably push him .. but again he would never do that in the books.. Also if Alicent didn't stop Otto , he would probably send someone to kill Rhaenyra ,so Daemon preparing for war is understandable.. Also caraxes and Daemon is more than enough for vhagar
Huh I didn't realize it was gonna be so long till the next season...thats disappointing to say the least
Honestly I was hoping to see the Unforgiving , Ruthless and the crazy Aemond Targaryen that we get from the book... so at first I didn't like what they did with him in this episode but after sitting on it for a while I actually really like it now... it just makes it more tragic and gives complexity to Aemond's character. I can't help but feel though that blood and cheese, dying of the dragons.. the whole civil war that is going to happen is because of a misunderstanding and an accident 🤣🤣🤣 but As someone who read fire and blood I'd give this season as a 8.5/10... some changes and inconsistencies here and there but overall a really good show. Hyped for season 2 🔥🔥🔥
Yes I loved this “change” also! I don’t see them as changes personally, and I love seeing what really happened! Fire and Blood is an inaccurate historical account written years later by a Maester who wasn’t around for the actual events. There are multiple conflicting accounts, rumors, etc. No one was with Aemond when it happened, so how could anyone know what he was thinking or the details of what really went down? All history books are full of untruths, and GRRM purposely write Fire and Blood to be unreliable. So to me we are just seeing the truth of what happened versus how the history books remember long past events, and it’s awesome that it’s way more complex than what history remembers. So cool!
This was a oof episode, shit is goin down next season

A very good episode a lot better then last episode I said in a earlier comment in episode 8 reaction that I had a feeling how season 1 would end and I was correct.
Alyce if you continue to read fire and blood book and don't want spoilers for what to come next then stop reading at page 422.
2024? Really? That sucks!
idk why but i don’t trust the twin at all
I'm dying at the cuteness when you say "they're lil babieees!"
It was actually a daughter named visenya
It's cool how they show how dragons can be difficult to control. They're almost like loose cannons. Vhagar is a much older, OG dragon and ain't about to take no shit from some young wipper snapper dragon. She's simply too much dragon for Aemon to handle.
15:30 so no a Targaryen can only bond to one dragon at a time.
Also that is Vermathor, the second largest living dragon and former mount to old king Jaehaerys that we saw at the opening of episode 1
Hello Alyska! I have enjoyed your reaction episodes! Have a great week
So many great Funko POPs of these characters out now! I loved this show so much. I’m buying all of them lol 🙌🏾
Series filled the GoT hole for me, can’t wait for season 2. 2024 is too far away haha
Targaryens may ride dragons but at the end of the day, they are a power no one can control.
Hi Alyska I enjoyed your reaction to House of the Dragon episode 10 your reaction was incredible I saw the episode too I really like it did you ?🏡🐉🐲🔥🗡🛡
19:49 Viserys did warn that control of the dragons is an illusion. So at that point, at that fight-or-flight situation, the dragons weren't listening to the dumb teenagers on their backs.
