The Velaryons weren’t dragon lords but Velaryons and Targaryens have been marrying each other for ages. Therefore Corlys and his sons would have Targaryens blood.
Just for an example; Corlys's great aunt was the wife/queen of Aenys I, eldest son of Aegon the Conquerer (father of both Jahaerys and Alysanne and Viserys, Daemon and Rhaenys's great grandfather).
No, Corlys does not have their blood. His bastards would have to have the blood from whoever he slept with. Their real children could only ride dragons because of Rhaenys.
I feel like Rhaenyra making moves on Mysaria makes sense. Daemon has effectively abandoned her and refuses to stay in contact. Rhaenyra rightfully realized that he was working against her and that she had to stand alone. So she moved on.
she was one who kicked him out and didnt listen to him. daemon knows war she doesnt. she waa cowering when assassin came for her. daemon instantly kill him if she didnt tslk crap.

@@breyerlover227 I am not sure they had the ability to bond because we think it is blood magic that bound the houses to the dragons. Any house that didnt go through the rituals wont be able to bond, is what I have taken from the few contexts we have.
Alys Rivers has become one of my favorite characters, she's so oddly arrogant and mysterious. The very first time I saw her, she just walks in, glaring at everybody while they are all bending the knee to Daemon. She treats Daemon Targaryen like he's a wayward child and walks around like she owns Harrenhal Castle. No one ever confronts her about anything, plus she can control owls. Is Alys Rivers even her real name, who or what is she, in reality?
Velaryons are from old Valyria and they are dragon riders too. Addam is a Dragonseed (allegedly the son of Corlys Velaryon) which Seasmoke sensed. That's why he was chozen as a dragon Rider.
You need *Valyrian* blood to bond dragons. Velaryons are a Valyrian family. The reason all native Valyrian families did not have dragons was not because they were *unable* to bond them, but because they were *prevented* from doing so. Valyria was not a democracy, it was a tyrannical oligarchy-ruled slave state. It was controlled by the dragonlords (40 wealthiest families) who *controlled* who had access to dragons. So yes, the Velaryons both have the blood themselves and they also intermingled with the Targaryens having lived alongside for centuries. Thus Corlys's line absolutely has the potential.
I’ve always been a fan of Daemon (despite his rogue tendencies) but seeing him dream about his brother then waking up and truly mourning him made me truly love him. It also reinforces my belief that Paddy Considine was absolutely robbed of an Emmy nomination.
You're comparing something that's been known in the GoT lore since it's existed, to a random relationship that came out of nowhere within one episode.

Never underestimate hungry or starving people. In GoT, the Night's Watch after their defeat of the W W, having stopped at Craster's Keep for rest and recovery, would have left Craster shortly. Craster was so arrogant it made him stupid. He could have celebrated the watch's journey home by sharing some of his stores vs bread mixed with sawdust.
I can't say what they're doing in the show here but in the og printed story, Rhaenyra put the call out to all the people of Dragonstone. It doesn't look like it on screen but in the books Dragonstone does have a small population of small folk and since Dragonstone is like ground zero for Targaryens, sprinkled amongst those small folk are some Targaryen bastards and descendants of Targaryen bastards. Rhaenyra offers lands and titles to anyone who can claim a dragon. That's why it's a little confusing here in the show. Targaryens seldom married outside of the family so looking for noble distant cousins isn't going to yield much unless the showrunners decide to go against the canon on that.
It's really interesting to see Aegon can understand what is happening around him immediately after just waking up. It's may be the point that he change and become more like his book version.
Such a great episode! That scene with the smallfolk rioting was such a callback to GoT when Joffrey got hit in the face with a cowpie. Alicent orders her guards to sheath their swords and Joffrey told his to kill everyone.
It was a shit episode what are you smoking. Rhaenyra got another innocent man killed and slapped her advisor for giving advice and made out with a lady because trauma turns her on while Helaena gets attacked by the smallfolk who pitied her because of some food that for some reason they can’t farm and worship the lady who literally blockaded them.
If Steffon Darklyn acted with a bit more bravery he would be flying with wind in his hair on the top of Seasmoke, he was all scared and Seasmoke was like "Nope, you almost had me"
The kicker will be if Daemon comes back and walks in on the two together! Surprise...HAHAHAHA! Corlys is the head of House Velaryon and it's a noble house of Valyrian origin. In Westeros, the only major surviving Valyrian families were the Targaryens, Velaryons and Celtigars.

The scene with Rhaenyra and Mysaria clicked with me - remember how you Rhaenyra discussed "tastes of duck and goose" with her former husband? In that conversation she did not call out his tastes, she said she has her own taste too! 🏳️🌈 We support our bisexual queen!
having Valyrian blood in general is what allows the riders to bond with the dragons, it doesn’t have to be House Targaryen specifically and house Velaryon are ethnically Valyrian. Not all houses and families in Old Valyria were dragon riders and house Targaryen weren’t the only great house to ride dragons (in fact if I recall correctly they were more of a minor house like house Mormont for example). They just happened to be the only dragon riding family that survived the doom which they used to their advantage. It’s just a matter of how diluted can the blood be before you can no longer bond with a dragon.
None of this has been proven in the canon, though. It's hypothetical. Blood magic is involved. And it makes more sense that the ruling families of Valyria would have bound dragons to specific bloodlines rather than binding them to all Valyians, as that would allow the "lowborn" to hatch dragons and challenge the ruling families.
@@breyerlover227 Which doesn't contradict what I said. Valyrians have Valyrian blood, but if they were smart enough to utilise blood magic, there is a good chance they can bond specific dragons and their offspring to specific Valyrian bloodlines, which makes sense if you think about the oligarchy wanting to control the masses. The Valyrian "lowborn" could have just grabbed some dragon eggs, hatched them, and started a revolution if the blood magic allowed for anyone with Valyrian blood to bind/hatch dragons. Maybe the Valyrians did have civil wars and rebellions, but have never heard about it, so it makes me believe that dragons were only tied to the 40 families who rules the Freehold. Even in GoT, there are many descendants of the Valyrians in Essos. Does this mean they can bond with dragons?
@13:12 **SPOILERS** a powerful wild dragon that'll have a rider, not Rhaena but a character not introduced yet that will play an important part and as a curiosity, it'll be one of the phew that will survive "The Dance of The Dragons" :D i'll say no more. Season 3 will be amazing!!!
They have cut Nettles unfortunately and gave her role to Rhaena. They don't want Daemon to cheat on Rhaenyra with the only canonically black character, and show Rhaenyra's racist nature and how she hated her
The reason why the Valeryon house can Technically Ride a Dragon is because they have Targaryen blood in them through years of political marriages and the keeping of "Pure Valerian" blood Alive. Targaryens and Valeryons are Both from old Valeria, but the Valeryons are not Dragon lords, only the Targaryens and only Dargon lords are able to ride dragons because of an ancient blood magic ritual that binds Dragons to it's riders.
So about the kiss, I think Mysaria and Rhaenyra's relationship will play a role in the Black Queen's fate! Remember how Mysaria has great control over the small folk in KL and those who have read the book know there's more riots incoming in the future. It's definitely a set up for something! I have a certain 'storming' in mind but let's see.
Since you mentioned the book in which Rhaenyra is straight as an arrow. This obviously is just the mandatory 'One of the main characters has to be gay.' like in every other Hollywood show these days. I don't mind but we can call it what it is. Also they again went the save two girls route. Would have been braver to have Daemon suck a dick in Harrenhal. Just saying.
Addam is not Corlys' son. Addam is Laenor's Bastard that is why he has a Targaryen blood. Alyn the bald one doesn't have Targaryen blood cause his father is Corlys. The 2 brothers just share the same mother but their fathers are different.
Rhaenyra is not helping the people ? She is the reason they are starving in the first place. Yes it is a very smart political move, and I would have done the exact same, but thinking Rhaenyra gives a crap about the smallfolk is hilarious
I wouldn't say that the Kingsguard were useless. They were greatly outnumbered by a violent angry mob, and Alicent told them to sheathe their swords. They would have been much more effective had they used their swords freely. Both she and Helaena would have been ripped apart if not for the Kingsguard, and it looks like one of them was killed trying to protect them. Also, Helaena froze when she should have been running with Alicent, causing the Kingsguard men to have to double back to protect her. This gave the mob more time to surround them.
Valaryons WERE Dragonlords Corlys just chose to make his way by Sea...he said it in season 1 and earlier this season....he chose the Sea while his wife chose the skies
No Velaryons were not one of the 40 dragonriding families of Old Valyria. They do come from Old Valyria, and have intermarried with the Targaryens since the Doom so one can assume they have dragonriding blood - if that is a thing - but before Corlys and Rhaenys' children they have never had dragons of their own.
No they weren't but they had Valyrian blood. Not every family in Old Valyria were dragon riders. It wasn't a common ability. Fire and Blood describes it like this "the Velaryons of Driftmark (a lesser house of Valyrian descent)..."
I’ve said this before years ago about this channel but both of you are calling out the names of these characters left and right. You’ve clearly done your homework, know the characters really well. It’s almost enlightening to watch you review these episodes
Makes perfect sense imo. She's the the most alone she's ever been in her life. Mysaria is the one person who has been supporting her unconditionally. There are rumors of her being bisexual in the books so it's not out of nowhere ❤
So Velaryon's were from Old Valyria, but sealords not dragonlords but they have always had a close relationship with Targaryens marriage & ally wise. Gotta love Seasmoke choosing his own rider, he said I'll be doing the claiming around here, I only want pretty Velaryon boys LMAO
The targaryens and velaryons are from old Valyria, where there were more royal familes that also had white, silver and gold hair. Even commoners sometimes had white hair. I think corlys bastard was shaving his white hair off.
@LaurenLumsden-mx4hu yup, they weren't as rich or powerful and were actually made fun of because targaryens would have visions and foresight. They were called dreamers by other dragon lords.
I guess making Rhaenyra bang Mysaria is mandatory these days and is obviously not in the book but okay. Enter South Park quote here. I don't mind really. What bothers me is the pacing. Two slow episodes in a row when we only get eight this season instead of ten. Daemon just stuck in Harrenhal is such a waste. Dream, wake up and shout at people, go to the witch. Rinse and repeat. Show is still great overall.
Rhaenyra was heavily implied bisexual in the books, it makes sense that she would develope this bond with Mysaria since she's the only one that really trusts her among all of her council
Sexuality isn't black or white. It's a spectrum. It's not a far fetched idea that Rhaenyra is bisexual. She definitely gave off those vibes in season one.
I hope daemon doesn’t die and maybe he be king and the queen kissing mysaria I don’t like mysaria at all the way she acts is suspicious and did she cheat on daemon lol despite their differences and aemond and daemon are alike
Alice is trying to help Daemon...For her own purpose. Just think Alice should be better looking. I know its not the 90's anymore but she was hot in the book :)
That scene didn't mean anything by the way Emma d'arcy suggested to add that in and they accepted because it fits their agenda which sums up this season precisely
Nope not true. Emma Darcy suggested that Rhaenyra walks up to Mysaria and hugs her which leads to the kiss, the actual kiss was in the script and even a thing they’ve been discussing to happen since season 1. Only the way the kiss happened was influenced by Emma Darcy which is a great addition to the scene instead of them just starting kissing, without the hug.

하우스오브드래곤 시즌1을 너무 재밌게 본 사람인데 (저는 맷 스미스 닥터후 때부터 팬 입니다 ^^;) , 한국에서 시즌2를 보기가 힘들어서. 좋아하는 유튜버 분의 리액션 영상으로 대리만족해요..🤩 특히 다에몬과 라에니라 부부의 팬이지만, 대략 소설의 내용과 결말을 알고나니... 😢 BUT 원작소설과 드라마는 내용을 다르게 찍을수도 있으니, 시즌2에서 다에몬이 정신좀 차리고 라에니라를 외롭지않고, 여왕으로서 많이 지지해 주길 바랬는데.. 결국 감독과 작가분이 라에니라를 이런식으로 끌고가네요 😭
라에니라는 다에몬이 자길 존중해주지 않고 떠났고, 여왕의 자리를 넘본다고 당연히 생각할수 있기에..
매우 불안하고 또 외롭겠지만.....
어쨌든!!!! 제발 다에몬 각성하고 라에니라에게 잘해라!!!! 👊😅
the White Worm is a huge factor in this war. Also I think the Valyrians were the old school original dragon riders before the Targaryians. Maybe lol
Seasmoke's like, ain't nobody got time for that
Aemond and Alice need to get together! Yes I said Aemond! Not Daemon!
I saw on Twitter earlier today that Seasmoke is likely racist and couldn't tell the difference between Laenor and Aalyn. I fell out.
The sheep weren't for the castle they were for the dragons which will tick off the people even more.
The scene with Rhaenyra and Mysaria clicked with me - remember how you Rhaenyra discussed "tastes of duck and goose" with her former husband? In that conversation she did not call out his tastes, she said she has her own taste too!
🏳️🌈 We support our bisexual queen!
She said she found goose too greasy for her tastes.
Exactly she said she didn't like it
another glorious reaction, thank you!~
Daemon & Viserys relationship was so sad Daemon couldn't show him how much he loved him until it was too late...
having Valyrian blood in general is what allows the riders to bond with the dragons, it doesn’t have to be House Targaryen specifically and house Velaryon are ethnically Valyrian. Not all houses and families in Old Valyria were dragon riders and house Targaryen weren’t the only great house to ride dragons (in fact if I recall correctly they were more of a minor house like house Mormont for example). They just happened to be the only dragon riding family that survived the doom which they used to their advantage. It’s just a matter of how diluted can the blood be before you can no longer bond with a dragon.
Yeh a lot of people don’t understand this cause they don’t read the lore or listen to when they do talk about it.
None of this has been proven in the canon, though. It's hypothetical. Blood magic is involved. And it makes more sense that the ruling families of Valyria would have bound dragons to specific bloodlines rather than binding them to all Valyians, as that would allow the "lowborn" to hatch dragons and challenge the ruling families.
@@MyUniqueVibe it has been said by the author it has to do with Valyrian blood not just blood magic
@@breyerlover227 Which doesn't contradict what I said. Valyrians have Valyrian blood, but if they were smart enough to utilise blood magic, there is a good chance they can bond specific dragons and their offspring to specific Valyrian bloodlines, which makes sense if you think about the oligarchy wanting to control the masses.
The Valyrian "lowborn" could have just grabbed some dragon eggs, hatched them, and started a revolution if the blood magic allowed for anyone with Valyrian blood to bind/hatch dragons.
Maybe the Valyrians did have civil wars and rebellions, but have never heard about it, so it makes me believe that dragons were only tied to the 40 families who rules the Freehold. Even in GoT, there are many descendants of the Valyrians in Essos. Does this mean they can bond with dragons?
@13:12 **SPOILERS** a powerful wild dragon that'll have a rider, not Rhaena but a character not introduced yet that will play an important part and as a curiosity, it'll be one of the phew that will survive "The Dance of The Dragons" :D i'll say no more. Season 3 will be amazing!!!
Spoiler: rhaena is getting sheepstealer. They’re clearly setting it up and the show creator has said rhaena is getting a much bigger role
They have cut Nettles unfortunately and gave her role to Rhaena. They don't want Daemon to cheat on Rhaenyra with the only canonically black character, and show Rhaenyra's racist nature and how she hated her
The reason why the Valeryon house can Technically Ride a Dragon is because they have Targaryen blood in them through years of political marriages and the keeping of "Pure Valerian" blood Alive. Targaryens and Valeryons are Both from old Valeria, but the Valeryons are not Dragon lords, only the Targaryens and only Dargon lords are able to ride dragons because of an ancient blood magic ritual that binds Dragons to it's riders.
Rhanerya 🏳️🌈
So about the kiss, I think Mysaria and Rhaenyra's relationship will play a role in the Black Queen's fate! Remember how Mysaria has great control over the small folk in KL and those who have read the book know there's more riots incoming in the future. It's definitely a set up for something! I have a certain 'storming' in mind but let's see.
Since you mentioned the book in which Rhaenyra is straight as an arrow. This obviously is just the mandatory 'One of the main characters has to be gay.' like in every other Hollywood show these days. I don't mind but we can call it what it is. Also they again went the save two girls route. Would have been braver to have Daemon suck a dick in Harrenhal. Just saying.
Addam is not Corlys' son. Addam is Laenor's Bastard that is why he has a Targaryen blood.
Alyn the bald one doesn't have Targaryen blood cause his father is Corlys.
The 2 brothers just share the same mother but their fathers are different.
Woah this was way off
Rhaenyra is not helping the people ? She is the reason they are starving in the first place. Yes it is a very smart political move, and I would have done the exact same, but thinking Rhaenyra gives a crap about the smallfolk is hilarious
Thinking Aegon cares about the smallfolk either is hilarious, Aegon will do anything if people kiss his ass afterwords
No one cares about the smallfolk… that is the true of this show
Seasmoke was later spotted smoking a blunt, gold tooth, gold chains being ridden by someone in a fur coat and a big, purple hat.
I wouldn't say that the Kingsguard were useless. They were greatly outnumbered by a violent angry mob, and Alicent told them to sheathe their swords. They would have been much more effective had they used their swords freely. Both she and Helaena would have been ripped apart if not for the Kingsguard, and it looks like one of them was killed trying to protect them. Also, Helaena froze when she should have been running with Alicent, causing the Kingsguard men to have to double back to protect her. This gave the mob more time to surround them.
You gotta watch old school movies like Naked Gun, I’m gonna git you sucka, CB4, Top Secret, Loaded Weapon, and Spaceballs
Valaryons WERE Dragonlords Corlys just chose to make his way by Sea...he said it in season 1 and earlier this season....he chose the Sea while his wife chose the skies
No Velaryons were not one of the 40 dragonriding families of Old Valyria. They do come from Old Valyria, and have intermarried with the Targaryens since the Doom so one can assume they have dragonriding blood - if that is a thing - but before Corlys and Rhaenys' children they have never had dragons of their own.
Rhaenyra coming in hot with the Uber eats🍊🫑🍞
The Shepard! Beware the one armed Shepard!
Jason lannister was the one who flirted with raenhyra on season 1
question, anyone watched merlin? did merlin have dragon lord blood? i kinda forgot
it's crazy, it looks like a dragon but it's a little smaller
Valerian's were also dragon lords
No they weren't but they had Valyrian blood. Not every family in Old Valyria were dragon riders. It wasn't a common ability. Fire and Blood describes it like this
"the Velaryons of Driftmark (a lesser house of Valyrian descent)..."
Cobra Kai is back! 😃
Aemond is carrying the season.
"I thought Daemon was going to cheat first.." technically he did lol he dream cheated with his mom 🤣🤣
That not how cheating works lol besides I didn't thing know what he was doing
I’ve said this before years ago about this channel but both of you are calling out the names of these characters left and right. You’ve clearly done your homework, know the characters really well. It’s almost enlightening to watch you review these episodes
The "grandmother's grandmother" line makes zero sense in the timeline lol...
No plural for sheep. Like deer and moose.
You both look like each others siblings haha dostargaryens
Targaryens and Velaryons have been intermarrying for generations. Aegon the Conqueror and his sisters themselves are half Velaryon.
It's good the st season, kind of a drop off the second, kind of one character carried it , in the third, but the fourth was great
Cobra Kai ?
Part of me is dissatisfied with this episode.
Rhaenyra kissing Mysaria made 0 sense to me. The directors just mixing in random stuff and dragging out the show
Literally so unecessary
someone managed to sneak in their fan fiction
Makes perfect sense imo. She's the the most alone she's ever been in her life. Mysaria is the one person who has been supporting her unconditionally. There are rumors of her being bisexual in the books so it's not out of nowhere ❤
rhae is lonely mysaria is vulnerable. plus rhae was implied bisexual in the book
@@Jlpro_1 If yall wanna talk about unnecessary lets talk about Daemon and his mother
So Velaryon's were from Old Valyria, but sealords not dragonlords but they have always had a close relationship with Targaryens marriage & ally wise. Gotta love Seasmoke choosing his own rider, he said I'll be doing the claiming around here, I only want pretty Velaryon boys LMAO
sea smoke got the jungle fever.😂
The targaryens and velaryons are from old Valyria, where there were more royal familes that also had white, silver and gold hair. Even commoners sometimes had white hair. I think corlys bastard was shaving his white hair off.
Yea and weren’t the Targaryens the weakest house in old Valyria? Like there were dragons even bigger than balerion before the doom.
@LaurenLumsden-mx4hu yup, they weren't as rich or powerful and were actually made fun of because targaryens would have visions and foresight. They were called dreamers by other dragon lords.
I guess making Rhaenyra bang Mysaria is mandatory these days and is obviously not in the book but okay. Enter South Park quote here. I don't mind really. What bothers me is the pacing. Two slow episodes in a row when we only get eight this season instead of ten. Daemon just stuck in Harrenhal is such a waste. Dream, wake up and shout at people, go to the witch. Rinse and repeat. Show is still great overall.
Isn’t Rhae bi in the books? If so it’s kinda no surprise her and mysaria hooked up.
Rhaenyra was heavily implied bisexual in the books, it makes sense that she would develope this bond with Mysaria since she's the only one that really trusts her among all of her council
VIZZY T
Cobra kai???
Aegon the Conquerors mother was of house Velaryon.
Check out the boys
PLEASE REACT TO THE KOREAN MOVIE EXHUMA
Please react to cobra kai season 6
spoiler idk
If the short vid spoiler is correct then that blacksmith will get vermithor, if only he wouldn't do the other thing
They just had to turn another character gay. They can never seem to help themselves
Sexuality isn't black or white. It's a spectrum. It's not a far fetched idea that Rhaenyra is bisexual. She definitely gave off those vibes in season one.
@@oh7henry nah she didn't. There's no justification for this. Just like with Frenchie.
Ahahahahaha
Buddy, shut up.
@@oh7henry sPeCtRuM god
Plz react for lottery ticket (2010) movie😢.. I'm the 210th subscriber of ur channel😢
This dude got the most obnoxious laugh ever. I can't continue watching this anymore.
I hope daemon doesn’t die and maybe he be king and the queen kissing mysaria I don’t like mysaria at all the way she acts is suspicious and did she cheat on daemon lol despite their differences and aemond and daemon are alike
Alice is trying to help Daemon...For her own purpose. Just think Alice should be better looking. I know its not the 90's anymore but she was hot in the book :)
HOTD has been mid af so far, I'm disappointed in this season
Mid isn't a word
@daurydavis3983 "MEDIOCRE" are you happy now
where the cobra kaiii
That scene didn't mean anything by the way Emma d'arcy suggested to add that in and they accepted because it fits their agenda which sums up this season precisely
Nope not true. Emma Darcy suggested that Rhaenyra walks up to Mysaria and hugs her which leads to the kiss, the actual kiss was in the script and even a thing they’ve been discussing to happen since season 1. Only the way the kiss happened was influenced by Emma Darcy which is a great addition to the scene instead of them just starting kissing, without the hug.
@@kledi3817 ah yes that was sara hess's explanation a lesbian feminist writer that was heavily involved in season 2 by HBO, in what world is that scene more important than addam mounting seasmoke for the first time especially since looking for dragon riders is the main plot of the episode, there were gay characters in the series before but their involvement was part of the story to keep it moving meanwhile this scene came out of nowhere and to make it worse they put it at the end of the episode after 1h of build up this is not the world GRRM wrote this is lazy writing
@@adelbechtoula yeah i can’t take you seriously because why are you saying „a lesbian feminist writer“…? that information was very much unnecessary and you’re obviously trying to prove a point here. stop watching hotd if you don’t like feminist lesbian media xx
@@kledi3817 I'll keep watching hoping it gets better and hoping it gets back to telling the story that GRRM told instead of changing event and removing characters to fit their needs and I'm not obligated to like feminists or homosexuals and you can assign tat to any "phobia" you like it's people like you that needs to grow up especially they can't accept the opinions of other or criticism towards things they like
That kiss make me sick 😢
Incel strikes again
Cry 😂
Fragile.
I don't mind it but they played it save as the always do. Would have been more fun to keep the ladies straight like they are in the books but have Daemon make out with a dude at Harrenhal instead.
awww 😪😪😪😪
Y r they dragging out the show what do they want 5 seasons comon hbo u boring me
Day 155 of asking you guys, or just you Kacee, to see Top Gun. 🫡
