Here's my FULL House Of The Dragon Episode 5 video and Game Of Thrones Easter Eggs. Let me know how many you spotted! Here's my House Of The Dragon Episode 6 video too! czcams.com/video/WVkcmA7tC_g/video.html
Fast!
Awesome!🔥🤙🏻😀
In the scene with Rhaynera and Criston Cole, doesn't the whole prophecy about the long night passed down to her as heir also affect her decision in that even if she wanted to run away there are bigger things at stake? This is supported by the fact that in the previous episode where she pursued her own desires, instead of just being angry King Viserys shows her the prophecy on the dagger as to remind her of that. Also when she says I am the crownto ser Criston about I am the crown it feels more to say I have a reponsibilty you wont understand instead of it being about her ambition to rule.
i think one thing you missed was when the queen entered everyone rose as is customary except daemon, he doesnt respect other houses or cares for them and he could not care any less for otto's daughter.
The ending of the show with the rat and blood reminded me of future events of the story. BLOOD & CHEESE 🤔
What a depressing final shot, truly brilliant showing the state of the realm
Two people who don’t want to be wed getting married in tears. The king no longer able to stand, the crown falling from his head, and a rat in the throne room
Blood still fresh on the ground.
So many plots were setup.
nice copy paste
@@brooke5258 The queen attended the wedding, what are you talking about?
Copy paste
But it also showed that Rhaenyra cares deeply about her future husband/cousin. She could feel his pain and wanted to comfort him the best she could.
This episode literally felt like 20 minutes. Now that is magic they’re all doing a phenomenal job!
True
That’s exactly what I thought of this episode
@Josh Traffanstedt from the POV of the streaming service it's smarter to release weekly episodes, where people talk about every single episode every week and analyse every detail, instead of releasing one single block of a season, where people talk about a show once for a few days and are done with it.
Truly, at the end I was like “what is it already over? Did I miss something?” 😂
Actually it felt liken56 mind and 22 seconds. 🙃
Ser Criston may have underestimated Rhaenyra's ambition to the Iron Throne. The Targaryen pride and need for power is strong in her.
Yes. Also, as a woman, she'd be the first queen to sit the throne. She wants to accomplish that. And will play the game to get it.
He was really stupid, especially for King’s Guard. His true colors definitely came out
@@brooke5258 Queen cersie lanister barratheon was the first female to sit in the iron throne
Also she was ready to run away with Daemon. She just didn’t love Criston.
@@amberlambert7040 you're putting the cart before the horse, Luv. We're talking about what Rhaenyra wants at this point in the story.
It was hilarious watching Viserys watch everyone on the dance floor. Like when Daemon and Rhaenyra were talking his face was clearly saying "wtf are they up to". And then the ensuing chaos. Such a good episode!
Yeah he did have that look on his face 😃
all of his facial expressions were amazing during the wedding. His "oh crap" face when Daemon showed up was hilarious.
@@4knewt505 yeah it was 😄
that was the face of a father thinking, "oh hell no" lol
@@margaritasalt yep 😄
The very first thing i do once I’m done watching the latest episode is come here for the breakdown
Thanks! I appreciate that! I'll post a new Episode 6 video tomorrow!
its the only right thing to do after watching the episodes lol i just got done watching episode 5
I do the same!!!!
Same same hahaha
Man I’m so relating to this!
I loved that Daemon didn't stand when Allicent entered. I just thought that was a great character detail and a good way to set up the opposition between the sides.
I hadn't noticed that but I'm not surprised. He is my fav character!
If I had a nickel for everytime a Joffrey dies in a Game of Thrones wedding-I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much but its weird that it happened twice.
ESPECIALLY at a WESTEROSI WEDDING‼Btw I just LOOOOVVEE ur CZcams Screen name imma big Yugioh fan haha😅😁
Seto Kaiba has three Blue eyes white dragon too
😁
😂😂😂😂
Not just died. But was murdered at a wedding !
The way they showed Alicent Hightower making her entrance in the throne room with that green brocade and regal tune whilst forcing Viserys to hesitate mid speech was a beautiful foreshadowing of the Dance of Dragons with the Greens.
the music in that moment it had a little basic notes from Light of the Seven...
I love when Rhaenyra and Daemon speak in Valyrian. It highlights their power and shared background even more. It leaves out the rest on different levels and gives their conversation that vibe when kids invent secret language so that parents can't understand. This episode was awesome.
Same, I just wish they had better subtitles
@@akaraniq the subtitles are killing me - the font is so small and the colour gets lost against the background.
I felt bad for Criston although he does seem to have lost himself in the whole idea of love and marriage to Rhaenyra.
But man, that scene where The hand of the king (Forgot his name) Gave Harwin the "Go" nod and Harwin just starts punching and ravaging his way through the crowd to "Save" Rhaenyra was just priceless.
I think as a commoner, Criston had this idea of honor that is something absolute, only for him to learn the hard way that people up the pyramid scheme couldn't give a shit about honor, especially his honor. He's a changed man now, for better or worse.
What Harwin did. should have been Cristons job but he failed his purpose.
That was his father that gave his son the head nod 🤷🏽♂️
That kind of desperate love is a turn off
*See Natural Born Killers scene with Juliette Lewis on a car hood. “Next time don’t be so fucking eager.”
He is like Sansa and Don Quixote. Reads to many bullshit knightly novels. He broke, unlike Sansa, plain and simple because he is weak.
Honestly I’m surprised Criston wasn’t punished/imprisoned on the spot. Like as far everyone knows/witnessed, a kingsguard just randomly attacked and killed an important guest of House Velaryon (considering he walked in right behind the main family). Like he literally just got up and walked away from the scene basically
Yeah that part doesn't make sense. You mean the King wouldn't have ordered his death knowing he was dangerous and erratic for seemingly no reason? I'd wonder if the guy had a screw loose.
maybe behind the scene alicent hightower saved him , I guess.
Maybe he told them he had threatened the Queen because he kind of did.
Nothing about it makes sense. Its a badly written scene for "shock". Nothing about it makes sense or belonged in the episode.
It can be under written as he threatened the princess, which he did. Rhaenyra was pushed down during the brawl. No one knows by who. So technically, Criston has an alibi. It was just overkill. Like the guy was already down. A dagger is nothing against your full suit of armor. The shock on everyone's faces. He knows he can't unring that bell. So he was going to do it himself. But Alicent showed him mercy, like he asked earlier in the episode. But it's not in the way he intended.
I am obsessed with any scene of Rhaenyra and Daemon! The chemistry is unmatched. I forget that they are uncle and niece, but that is how well they have written this show!
For you my dear have a taste for spice and passion that only forbidden fruit can supply...
its actually crazy good, I hope the adult actress of rhaenyra will have same chemistry, because these first 5 episodes their scenes were electric
Niece and uncle will never be ok to me lol
@@petr5392 doubt it
Yeah, I'm creeped out and intrigued all at the same time lol
It keeps getting better and better. The shot angles, the pace, the acting, the "grey" complexity of many of the characters (reflecting GRRM's intent). This quality is rivaling GoT Seasons 1-4. It's that well done, at least so far.
It was a great game of thrones wedding episode!
Dialogue will never be up to par. The combination of humor and complexity of the characters will never be matched. But this is damn good.
@@seanholmquist3682 You might be missing my point? The "quality" of the overall production is what I was referring to. I would agree that it would be unfair to pit the two stories over/against each other. Each is its own unique dragon so to speak, just sharing the same Westerosi world.
Gt
Wedding episode.
Rhaenyra hasn't been doing "terrible" things. Alicent's problem is she's jealous. Why would Rhaenyra have told her about Cristen? They're not best friends anymore. Also, if Alicent had a relationship with Rhaenyra, she was also flaunting the rules. Joffrey was being messy, he was supposed to keep his mouth shut.
Totally agree on it . Thats why i don't get why that situation with cristen affect her so bad . Is she jealous? Did she had a relationship with Rhaenyra ? Whats her problem ? Cuz they are not bf anymore so why she is so mad ... SAKE QUESTIONSSSS
@@redvelvetpopss8596 so Jealous that she can love her own life and Alice T can’t
It trips me out how they allow such blatant gossip ; regardless that man needed his tongue removed
Yeah everyone seems to forget that Alicent betrayed rhaenyra first, cause she knew exactly what she was doing when her father sent her to the king's side. She's acting like she's done nothing wrong. The whole time I've been like why does she care so much what rhaenyra is doing in her personal life.
So another note about Alicent is she is super religious and feels Rhaenyra is "getting away" with what she wants while Alicent has to fulfill her duties so yeah she is a bit jealous
This show has far exceeding my expectations and this was my favorite episode. I didn’t think anyone could make an entrance like Daemon but Alicents late entrance during the kings speech in her green dress trumped his by just a little bit. The scene where she found out she was lied to was a good one, Emily did such a great job conveying her hurt and you knew she was going to be a different person, referring to Rhaenyra as stepdaughter instead of by name made it evident. You could feel the tension building during the celebration and knew something was going to happen…Criston pounding Joffreys face wasn’t what I was expecting though….I cannot wait until next week.
Honestly. Not expecting it was an understatement for me. It came way out of left field and feels like completely lazy writing. Completely ruined what would have been a great episode and maybe the whole series.
@@ssnow5516 I think it was just a guilt trip on Cristons side. He saw everything he hated about himself in him and literally couldn't stand his face.So no lazy writing if you ask me.
@@ssnow5516 Which part didn't you like?
@@ssnow5516 Gotta agree. Terrible writing on that part. If he had picked a fight with Laenor that would have been more sense imo. What makes the scene even worse is that he just straight up walks off and leaves with no one to question him? No one stopped him while he was beating an important guest of the Velaryon family to death and no one even arrested him or questioned him at the very least after? He just walks off casually to Godwood tree and Alicent meets him? Viserys doesn't summon him, Colys doesn't do anything. Seems like a rushed scene for the plot imo but otherwise loving the series so far
Criston Cole’s the kinda man that would be outraged that Laenor’s boyfriend was basically telling him they were the same. They really are but it’s not what Cole envisioned for himself. It’s Alicent that’s pulling strings to help ser criston. She’ll speak up & say she seen rhaenyra in danger he acted nobly bla blah & she’ll gain his unwavering loyalty. I think the fact that the most of the male wedding guests erupted & joined in the fight, same as the tourney., is very telling of the mood of the realm. Lord Corlys probably wasn’t too bothered that Cole got rid of laenors love interest. They did leave a few plates spinning but I’m sure it’ll all be explained
Daemon just pulled up with the biggest smile ever like “yo whats up” 😂
Viserys is just like “is this guy for real?” Lol hilarious
Yeah Viserys face had alot of great expressions in this episode 😄
Daemon is the rightful king
Lol Best comment 😂😂😂
I completely lost all respect for him, I thought he was an honorable grown ass man but turns out he’s bitter and weak, storming off like a lil kid and snitched on Rhaenyra when she declined his offer and then throwing a tantrum and beating a person to death because he couldn’t control his anger smh
U never really know some till you do 😭
He broke a vow/oath. Him not being an oath-keeper is enough to get him depressed. Oaths can get you hanged back in the day, but now it means nothing so you wouldn't understand!
@@danmichaelabad1338 100 some people have missed that part , like this b black muppet
He didn't snitch on her, he confessed his own transgression fully expecting to be put to death for it. He was totally acting like a lovestruck fool when Rhaenyra just saw him as a dalliance.
EXACTLY !!! like he needs to grow up, especially the snitching part. home boy did not even hesitate. "yes i did that sin" with the quickness
I was reading about leprosy earlier. The Iron Throne is just awful for him with that disease. That's why he keeps losing fingers. The leprosy causes infections from the cuts.
The wedding scene did NOT disappoint!!!
some brit ordered an iron throne made of dildos
Very good analysis Michael. The gay kiss scene did not disappoint as well you agree?
I am no expert in leprosy but I have read up on it a bit. One, because I am a pastor and it is in the Bible. Also, a friend of mine went on a mission trip to a place where people with leprosy go to get treated. Your statement is incorrect Leprosy does not cause you to lose your limbs. That is a misnomer caused my movies. From my limited understanding, it does 2 things. 1. causes infections and 2. it kills the feeling in ur nerves, basically you can't feel the infection. Two very deadly combination. Basically u get infections do not tend to them bc you can't feel them. As the injury progresses, you lose your limbs because your body basically takes your limbs back by eating them. Another misnomer is that you can contract it by touch. Like aids, it must be blood contact. It is also very treatable now aways. Just wanted to add the nuance to it...haha
@@KumarAnshs sarcasm much?
He isn't losing fingers due to leprosy, he is losing fingers cause the maesters amputated his fingers
Daemon is such a interesting character, so ruthless seeing him murder his wife and not giving it a second thought than proceeding to alpha walk into the wedding
I thought it was utterly disgusting he’s officially my most hated character right now
@@Peecamarke ppl like dark and badass
@@Peecamarke that's the BEAUTY of GRRM writing! He develops "grey" characters. Ppl who WALK a "slippery slope" between what's PERCEIVED as right/wrong. I'm SURPRISED him SEDUCING his NIECE didn't change ur "Like" for him 😅😆😄
Daemon did NOT murder his wife. Rhea fell off her horse all on her own. He was walking away when she asked him to finish her off.
@@REPENTandTurnTo_Jesus Yep, then he fucking killed her with a stone.
Everyone saying Rhaenyra should have chosen Criston as if she wasn't just reading the prophecy of the long night and the Prince that was promised. Yes she might be ambitious but she also has a duty. When Jon Snow killed Danny people said he chose duty over love which is the right thing to do but does Rhaenyra not have the very same duty.
True
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
He was asking her to give up everything. Not just her ambition for the throne. How about security? She’s a Princess who has never wanted for anything. She would be penniless. What about her reputation? She would be declared a whore and remember poorly forever more. What about her family? Their relationship might be strained, but she does love her father. What about her dragon? If she is meant to hide her identity she won’t be able to take her dragon with her. She’s a 18 year old, that’s scary to abandon everything you know and love.
What he asked of her was absurd! And she asked him to give up nothing but what he had already given up (his oath of chastity) to stay with her and he lost his damn mind! Such an entitled short sighted man-child reaction 😂
Poor Viserys, I've never rooted for a character to die so much out of sheer pity
I actually thought about that during the episode, like why isn't someone giving him a poultice to just take his suffering away. Ok, I even feel guilty typing it out now. Sorry.
Man should just abdicate and give her the throne now and retire on dragonstone.
😂😂😂😂
He died like 5 times in this episode..even the new hand is nervous and internally asking "is he's gonna die"🤣
Young Rhaenyra and Allicent will be missed.
The scene with Rhae and Criston is a little more nuanced than Rhae just thinking the rules don't apply to her. She does actually care about her legacy and her father has risked a lot to name her heir. She can't just run off with him for oranges and spices at this point.
Plus he dome told.her the prophecy
If she cared about legacy she wouldn't risk it by being promiscuous. She wants her cake and to eat it too
@@tr199yninja she's just a kid,not mature enough to make right decisions
She just doesnt wanna live a peasant life. People overanalyzed things
@@seaneckhart9914 Just say you don't understand nuance and go
Rhaenyra telling Criston that she has a duty to the realm and her responsibility lies with the crown (and soothing his bruised heart and ego isn’t more important than that) is not her being a “horrible” person. It’s recognizing the significance of her role as heir….and honestly, if she were a man, it would be written off. But because Rhaenyra is a woman, it is seen as obscene, her behavior “immoral” or, as you put it, a “horrible” person…Wouldn’t running off, embarrassing her father in the process, do more damage? To not just her reputation, but, his as well? Would the scandal of such not cause political turmoil? It is not Rhaenyra’s fault that Criston assumed she would abandon her the crown to run off with him….after knowing the tragic history of her predecessor who did something similar. As Viserys reminded her of 1-2 episodes ago, as much as she may bemoan then shackles of marriage and all of the limitations of being a woman in that era, she understands all too well what befalls women who choose a life of “freedom”. Having heard the tale of how Jaehaerys’ daughter fell into disgrace. Men have the luxury of shirking duty….women, do not.
Last episode it was “Rhaenyra is being irresponsible”; this one, when she does accept her responsibilities, it’s “she’s a horrible person”, for simply doing her duty…which is to marry. She can’t win.
THANK YOU! 👏
She can't. And that's the complexity of the situation. Had she not gone down that road with him last episode, everything would've been in tact. Yes he liked her too, but also, she's the princess and Heir. You really can't refuse her and expect to keep your head or your job. And Rhaenyra used that against him. When she was watching the play with Daemon, she said it doesn't matter what people beneath them want. So Charlie is correct, she knows the rules don't apply to her.
She wants power and agency over her own life as a woman. That comes with a cost.
@@brooke5258 Except we have also heard them lament, for 5 episodes straight, the many disadvantages of being a woman. We saw this through the eyes of both Alicent and Rhaenyra….saw them discuss the expectations of women vs. their counterparts. Listened to the voice concerns of Rhaenyra to her uncle and father.
Rhaenyra understands the rules and expectations of her station well….which is why she got married instead of running off with Criston. If she thought she was above them, then surely she would have chose to abdicate her responsibilities.
My point though is that Rhaenyra breaking Criston’s heart does not make her a bad person. She put duty and realm first.
Yeah I agree there is no way someone would let go of the throne just to be with their lover in some island as common folk. Princess Rhaenyra made a good move. Ser Criston Cole is a simp for not understanding that and he had the option of just banging the princess on the side when they're alone.
Of course, she suddenly cares about duty and responsibility when she sees a way to improve her claim to the thrones, not when her dad tried to remind her or when she decided to get laid one way or another after Daemon ghosted her.
Everyone is a selfish prick is a running theme of HotD, and it is about to be even more obvious.
I don't think Dameon meant to kill Royce at first but after she fell and kept running her mouth is when he took advantage of the situation. Also, when Cole admits to Alicent that it was him, I think she is shocked. She was referring to Dameon and he jumped the gun.
yeah. i think she was implying if he let Daemon into Rhaenera’s chambers because he was the one obligated to guarding her & he just let everything out
She was 100% talking about dameon, like i enjoy watching this dudes videos but he just throws them out so quick he misses a lot of key details
right? what a moron lol
dud was depressed for bedding the princess
Of course he went there to kill her. 🙄 everything Dameon does is for his own personal gain. Like making sure the commoners saw him spoiling Rhaenyra.
1000% was talking about Daemon since Cole was watching her door that night. But Cole got word vomit.
Funny how Ser Criston’s whole thing is honor and duty until he asks Rhaenyra to desert the realm and run away. When she reminds him of her duty but offers a fair compromise, he’s suddenly too good for that 🙄.
Sounds to me like a petty man baby who didnt get what he wanted.
Ding ding, think we have a winner!
Any scene where Daemon swaggers in the room after being banished is my favorite; it's the audacity for me. I felt for Alicent after the last episode but she has an air of righteous indignation that I find irritating. Sir Christian Cole is way too emotional and Rheanyra dodged a bullet with that one. Clubfoot is an agent of chaos and he seems to really get a kick out of it. I am disappointed that it looks like we are not going to get to see Leana Velaryon with Vhagar.
She is riding Vhagar in the episode 6 promo
Alicent is giving me Cersei vibes and I'm here for it lol.
@@ilvenuryazc4696 I must have missed that. I know she's not a main character in the show but I think it would've been awesome to see her claim Vhagar.
@@RedRoseSeptember22 I enjoyed watching Cersei but I hated her. I was mad when they let the roof cave in on her in the end; such an injustice! Alicent does have a Cersei vibe but with the self righteousness and without the incest.
@Riss same! That was one of Daemon's boldest entrances yet, and that's saying something! Lol
Usually Corlys Velaryon will yell "This is Absudity", but when he saw that the man being killed is the boyley of his son, he probably sighed " good riddance". Sir Cole eliminating the boy lover of his son is the best scenario for him.
Absurdity
I wish they had done it in the book. Ser Cole kills Joffery during the tournament. I felt the ending was way too jarring and out of place, AND having Laenor and Rhaenyra wed right there. I wish they had stuck to the source material better in this instance.
@@guibox3 It's because the King was going to die, he lost a lot of blood during the end of Cole vs Joffrey fight. He wanted to see the marriage and he fell right after the marriage. He preponed the wedding 7 days. Not everything can be shown or told to the audience.
@@guibox3 I don’t think they have much consideration for the source material since the author himself is involved in the show’s writing. Martin said he wants the show to be the “true” version of the events mentioned in the books. It’s basically his way of reconning shit he wished he had done ages ago.
@@sleepysheep8753 I wonder if that is why Winds of Winter is taking so long; the TV series gave him ideas he wish he had put into his published books. But now he is sort of stuck in a corner. What he could and should do in that case is release a 2nd version of a published book alongside Winds of Winter.
I have to disagree with the fact that Rhaenyra lied to the Queen, since she asked if Daemon touched her. It is obvious that Criston admitting to bedding the princess, still doesn't change the fact that Rhaenyra technically didn't lie. She just withheld the truth.
She said she was still a maiden. Which was a lie
Also, Alicent betrayed Rhaenyra first and in a far worse way. She went behind her back to basically seduce Rhaenyra’s father, and let her find out in a council meeting “Oh yeah, this is gonna be your new stepmom”. So I see absolutely no reason Rhaenyra should have trusted Alicent after that. Especially knowing that her father, Otto, can be trusted even less, and that the information about her night with Daemon came from him. I just don’t see Alicent as sympathetic in any way there.
I hate this dumb arc of them being mad at each other who gives a F who she bangs
@@88kayleigh wtf Alicent didn't seduce Rhaenyra's father. She was literally sent by her own father, Otto, the hand of the king, to plesure the king, to make him forget about the queen's death and thus to insure a position to the trone for the Hightower family. Not a single 15 year old would want anything to do with their friend's father, ever. In fact, episode 5 highlights this, especially when Rhaenyra apologizes to Alicent for her words about how: "who wouldn't want to be imprisoned in a castle and forced to produce heirs" (or something along those lines).
It wasn’t the queen’s business either way.
Can I just say how bad I felt for Viserys in the episode? Not just the sickness but the way he and his daughter don’t speak anymore and how he was literally worried sick over what could happen between her and Daemon during the wedding
He made his bed when he married her bff 🥺
@@AmbeanWambulance yup, not to mention politically Daemon and Rhaenyra would have been a strong match and his having two wives was not without precedent - there really wasn’t much of an impediment there. But he was taking Alicent and Otto’s side of things more than his own blood family’s. Viserys is a kind man but a weak king and poor judge of character I think. Likeable but pitiable.
and when he selfishly murdered his wife
@@ramificationsss Yes and no - he knew that either way she would die. Slowly, with the baby inside her unable to come out. also dying. Or quickly, with the chance that the baby could possibly live. Not an easy choice but I don't think selfish or callous in the circumstances.
@@88kayleigh I think my issue with it was that she didn't know they were going to cut her open. Her panicking was scary.
Is it just me? - I swear I could hear a snippet of Shireen's theme in the beginning of the House Velaryon theme. If that's true, it's a very sweet thing Ramin Djawadi did there - kinda of like an homage to Shireen since she is the one who was fascinated by the Dance of the Dragons story in GOT.
So grateful for your comment!! I heard Shireen’s theme as well. Beautiful & bittersweet homage to such a wonderful character from GOT. Ramin Djawadi is brilliant.
Same here! Good things abt GOT have been steadily coming through on HOT D and Ive just waiting for Ramin to really get into it. This and the wedding music was just top shelf.
You couldn’t pay me enough to attend a wedding in Westeros. But man what an episode!! I’m really going to miss the younger versions of these actors only because they did an amazing job!! Literally blew me away. But I’m very excited for this time jump! They are doing it so well.
I feel like they're making all the right departures from the source material I've been hooked every episode!! Also shout out to the brilliant Milly Alcock and Emily Carey who played young Rhaenyra and Allicent.
I'm really gonna miss Milly. She nailed the Targaryen demeanor.
@@brooke5258 ya I kinda wish they wouldn't change the actresses I like them
It’s cool for people that know the book. You still don’t really know what’s going to happen. There doing an awesome job.
@@darkredash2317 I’m really enjoying that about it. I thought I knew what happened but the book is only a few perspectives so there’s loads of room for events to play out differently from how Fire & blood presented them.
I would have preferred Criston to not have killed Joffrey during this feast. In the book he was killed at a tournament and that was better in my opinion. That tournament also saw Criston beat Harwin Strong in a joust I believe which jus seems cool. Having Criston go ape shit out of jealousy and anger during the feast makes him seem petty and immature.
I got the feeling that when Rhaenyra was telling Criston that they can continue as they are and when she started talking about the Targaryen responsibility and Aegon uniting the seven kingdoms, she was referring to the song of ice and fire and that there is a greater responsibility that she holds than her own desires.
The whole scene to me felt like a flash back from the first episode between her and Alicent where Rhaenyra wanted to fly around the world with her but Alicent talked about duty first and now Rhaenyra is putting duty first before what Criston and herself may truly desire! I could be wrong, but that is the vibe I got when watching that scene!
I love these break downs! It is the first thing I watch on a Monday morning after HOTD the night before!
YES! Rhaenyra did not know about the prophecy until AFTER she had done the deed.
@@MP-tj5xv The King told her about the prophecy in the first episode but he didn't show her the dagger until after her night with Ser Criston! But I think because of their talk the night after it really hit her how deep this goes and how much bigger it is than just her and her family and her desires! :)
@@sydneysbs The king was talking to his wife I believe. I will have to go watch again.
I don't think Rhaenyra betrayed Alicent. She asked her if she slept with her uncle. She told her she didn't. Which she did not. She never asked her what really went on that night. Just if the rumors were true.
Rhaenyra did lie to Alicent. I think Alicent asked Rhaenyra if she is still maiden aka virgin. isn't this betrayal?
Right. She wanted to know if it was true that she slept with The Doctor, I mean, Daemon. She didn't lie, but when Ali went to tell her she said Rhaenyra is a virgin, which is NOT explicitly mentioned by her friend. And this makes Ali a liar, which made her furious because she ended up vouching for her virginity.
Rhae said the truth, but not the whole truth.
Rhaenyra also said that she remains a maiden, which is a lie
@@8ee8ee8 ahhh OK that makes sense, must've missed that part
@@8ee8ee8 that bi*** betrayed her first by marrying her father behind her back😂
I have never turned on a character so quickly than I did with Ser Crispin. His word choice during the (terrible) proposal was so telling - he never said he loved her, he only said he hoped marrying her would alleviate the guilt he felt. If the two ran away together, he'd be fine but she's too recognizable to ever be free and he'd hate that life, too. And he literally kills a man because of he can't control his feelings? SO DISAPPOINTING, MR CRISPY! >:(
Same, lost all respect for him smh
That scene is very poorly written and directed. Everything felt forced
I'm so so so disgusted by Christon or whatever! Ew!! Weak minded, Control less desperate fuck! Lost all the fucking respect in the world yuckk
Sir Crispin the Glover
Basically only wanted to marry her because he broke his chastity and that would be the only way to make that wrong right.
I've been watching this show with my dad (who could care less and never watched GoT). He couldn't understand why I was getting more and more anxious throughout the wedding. Weddings in this universe don't generally go on without a hitch

I had the impression that Alisent thought that Rhaenira lay with Daemon, and Criston's confession threw her off, because she didn't expect it.
Exactly, she was trying to find out if she lost it to Daemon, then Criston confessed everything.

Always wait for the person interrogating you to finish their sentences before answering anything.
I feel like Alicent is desperately jealous of Rhaenyra as well or at least there is a level of jealousy there. Alicent was the good little girl and listened to her father even to the point of flirting/comforting with an old man and eventually marrying him and having his children all the while Rhaenyra is getting to live out her teenage years, while Alicent has to pump out babies and endure being a child bride. Also I get that Criston was hurt or whatever but I feel like he's blaming Rhaenyra.. a young girl.. because he made the choice to give in to temptation but now he's angry at the little girl that didn't want to give up an entire kingdom/the only life she knows to run away with him not bothering to first find out/question if this YOUNG GIRL "loves" him..It's giving entitled just a bit lol.
Same way I looked at it. Imagine HAVIN to CONTINUOUSLY sleep with a SICKLY MAN OLD ENOUGH to be YOUR OWN FATHER UGGHHH⚠️ Meanwhile "The Realm's Delight"-Ful BRAT continues to BE OPENLY DEFIANT and literally GET AWAY with BEDDING a ATTRACTIVE KNIGHT⁉️ Yeah I'll be HIGHLY ANNOYED AND JEALOUS TOO lol
she choose the princess over her father only to find out the princess was lying. ofc shes getting bitter.
plus theres all the sucession
Yeah I agree. Except it was christin who is acting like a child. Did he really think she would run off with him? She only slept with him because he was there and because she thought he wouldn't get clingy because he's a kingsgaurd. So there was no expectation of commitment. But nooooo he has to act like a child.
I’m so glad you made comment to this issue. I find it insulting that Allicent would judge Rhaenyra at this point. Allicent secretly was keeping company with her father, the king for a while and never once mentioned she was doing. She saw Rhaenyra reaction with the king announced their marriage and now she wants to act like how dare you keep a secret. Rhaenyra didn’t actually lie to Allicent about having sex with Daemon, it didn’t happen however Cristin acted like a bitch, to cave and admit to having sex with Rhaenyra without letting Allicent finish asking the question was stupid. Where was his tongue when he and Rhaenyra saw the white stag, which would signify she was the right heir to the throne. Cristin caused all of this. To be mad at Rhaenyra for not giving up her duty to the throne because he gave up his oath as a knight. He could have just said no but instead he said she instigated the sexually act, how could he say no to the princess. Rhaenyra paused to running off with him, she pushed her personal feelings aside for the throne something Daemon never did. The constant comparing of Daemon and Rhaenyra is shameful. The men in HOTD move Rhaenyra and Allicent around like pawns, not caring how they feel about anything because of the realm. Thank goodness for Daenerys.
@@jeaninewright1936
Deanerys is one of the fullest characters to be in the ASOIAF lore.
The Maester may not be directly poisoning Viserys but I do think they are complacent. The younger Maester suggests a more effective treatment and he just kinda blows it off for the leeches. I think the younger Maester could of helped him a lot more
When She called Rhaenrya stepdaughter, I was like 😮😮😮 hardcore shade lol
Rhaenyra didn't promise Cole anything about love when they shared the night together. If he wanted to stick to his honor so bad he shouldn't have played along that night to begin with. She can't just leave her freakin responsibilities and run away with someone she isn't even in love with. She didn't speak anything about the whole thing till Ser Cristen is the one who brought it up and proposed. She said she can't avoid her position but suggested if he loved her she can still try to be together as her husband would be okay with it. If he doesn't wanna do that then just let it go and move on with it. But no he had to act possessive and over react like Rhaenyra promised him love or something in one night. But here you are blaming her like she ruined him. It's his fault for being over sensitive and forgetting he can't just run away with a princess and that too heir to the throne. What do you think it's a disney movie?
It didnt make sense that Criston was able to kill an important guest at the wedding and then just walk off. Like wtf. They wouldnt just let him go.
Agreed. Or that no one was able to stop him.
Yeah some parts where kind of stupid like when viserys arrived and nobody was there to greet him
They were so happy that the f a g was dead, they will give cole an award
And punch Laenor in his own kingdom…..no way he makes it out alive

Not near enough people are talking about how Daemon just vanishes when Crispin attacked Joffrey.

He simply thought she was talking about him so he confessed. He’s didn’t snitch at all.

GRRM has always said half truths are worse than straight up lies. This episode shows exactly that. Absolutely living up to the hype. They seem to have dumb the show down for the mass public watching but it’s still entertaining as hell. Dameon is great. He’s got this sick side to him but is still capable of caring and love somehow. Reminds me of Oberyn somehow someway.
Andrew, I def see what you’re talking about…
Kinda think it’s the way that Daemon saunters into a room (especially when people are watching him, in Daemon’s case 😂) that calls Oberyn to mind. Brilliant comment, thanks
I love the little moments like when the two Maesters are treating King Viserys in the bath and the younger maester suggests using a new medicine but the old maester says no, the king has always used the leeches. Really brings home the theme of tradition vs modernity present throughout the entire show
I saw it as the older Maester keeping the King sick by using wrong techniques, and ignoring treatment that would actually improve the Kings health.
I don’t get why Alicent is mad…: she didn’t tell Rhynera she was seducing her Dad before he married her…. Sounds like after hours stuff is off limits in their friendship
Women 💅☕
She took Rhaenyra’s word and supported her father being sent home. But Rhaenyra lied to her by omission by not confessing to the liaison with Cole.
Finally!!! Thanks for pointing out this obvious one. I really don't understand why is THAT MAD. She should worry about her husband slowly dying and stay out of people business
@@jjh2456 That and I feel that she harbours envy towards Rhynera because she has taken on a life of duty, whereas Rhynera has taken one of hedonism. Sour grapes. She’s also a bit of a prude.
Sea Smoke is my favorite dragon 🤍I really like the silver scales and how agile he is in the air. He's like a fighter jet. Caraxes is like a gun ship, Balerion is a German airship and Syrax is a Cessna, but she will grow.
I'm sure I misspelled their names.
So it’s okay for Alicent not to say anything about her “visits” to the king to Rae…..but Rae is expected to tell Alicent everything even though Rae did tell the truth about not having sex with Daemon??? Make it make sense. 🤦🏾♀️
Rhea was so sharp, I loved her insults to Daemon. It's clear he'd been mistreating her for a long time.
Hands down favorite episode of season so far. Incredible episode everything about it was just fantastic. Not to mention the music tension was amazing. I’m happy with this show to say the least
I’m mad confused. So Criston Cole murdered Laenor’s guard right in the middle of the party, in the very homeland of the Velaryons, yet he was not even arrested, charged or killed and was free to walk away? That makes absolutely no sense
No, they were in King’s Landing. Most likely he will become a guard for Queen Alicent now.
Sir Cole did them a favor as far as thy are concerned. The whole feel of if is that everyone know abut lover boy in the down. So nobody seemed surprised to see the sworn protector of the betrothed princess beat the life out of "Sir. Kisses." He even proudly admitted to his nickname too.
Rhaenyra didn't walk all over Christon's 'HONOR". He is twice her age. She didnt ask him to "live without honor" LOL. HE CHOSE TO TAKE OFF HIS CLOAK AND LAY WITH THE PRINCESS. You literally just watched him beat an innocent mans face off, then attempt suicide. And you are justifying his insanity. Christon Cole - is a killer. This reminds me of when The Hound said to Sansa, "Your Father was a killer, Your brother was a Killer...". And he does his best to open her eyes. Same here. Christon is a bad guy, that thinks he is good. He is nothing like Brianne. Brianna was pure of heart. She understood why Jamie, had to go back and as painful as it was, she recognized that his duty and family came before her personal desires. Christon Cole is controlled by his OWN desires. Geez, the female always gets the blame. She was what 17 and drunk. Thats a CRIME.
And to think the Princess would run off and abandoned the Crown that they are both sworn to, was a ridiculous request. He is insane. Dont try too make it sweet. LOL
THANK YOU! 👏
I also too must thank you. Not necessarily for the truth about how women getting blame/men getting passes is absurd. But for suggesting a compelling alternative to Criston’s character. He’s crazy
They are both to blame in my opinion.And don’t give me that she was drunk excuse, she knew what she was doing as he did.
Rhaenyra wants him as a whore while liking him, how is that a drunken mistake? love is foolish. everyone is grey in grrm world.
She is a Princess and in a position of power over him. He couldn’t really deny her.
I kept thinking the king was about to die. Like 6 times
He'll be around for a while, continuing to wither.
I can’t get over Daemon sitting down when Queen Alicent enters the throne room😂
Rhaenyra sleeping with Cristan Cole was a teenager who feels suppressed having sex with the person they like. I don't view that as a terrible thing personally. She never made any promises or pressured him that we see.
Cole asked her to uproot her life and leave everything she knew and loved behind, it made sense she would refuse him. Not saying Rhaenyra is a perfect innocent human, just that this seems like a very human thing, not a careless cruelty.
She knew he had a vow of celibacy so it's not just 'the person they liked'
@@toddgakk5783 he knew he had a vow of celibacy. His offer was in no way shape or form plausible. Give up being QUEEN of the 7 kingdoms to go run away and be in exile with him after, at most, having sex on a few occasions? Selfish of Cole
Would you have casual sex with someone with a vow of celibacy? If you do you are the selfish one
@@tuber7081 Flip it: A prince having the position of power making advances with an oracle sworn to celibacy, with the oracle well aware that denying him his wishes can also cost her her life. Rahenyra is the named heir to the throne, Cole was in a lose-lose situation either way. He also has had feelings for her from the beginning when he asked for her favor t the tournament where he beat Daemon.
His later offer is our of desperation.
@@MP-tj5xv if honor meant so much to him he would have done the honorable thing to begin with and not slept with her. He went so far as to Attempt suicide in the end, so why not just say no and die with honor if it’s gonna come to that anyway.
And based on what we know of Rahenyra, he had no real reason to believe saying no would have meant death
Harwin Strong lives up to his name, dude was a fucking tank in that hall and it makes me curious who are the strongest fighters in this time
That was an extremely tense episode. Man, so good. Loved it, great way to cap midseason.
Danareys' dragons absolutely are descended from the Dragons we see in House of the Dragon.
In Fire and Blood, it's recounted that 3 eggs were stolen and sold in Essos to pay for the construction of a ship and crew.
Later these eggs ended up in the hands of Illyrio who gave them to Dany as a wedding gift.
I loved the scene where Harwin Strong just engaged his kick-ass mode. His whole face changed and everything. The actor did a great job.
The show continues to get batter and better. The ‘green wedding’ didn’t disappoint. Love your breakdown as it helps me understand certain aspects since I never read any of the books. I will miss those 2 young actresses so much. With this big time jump they risk viewers getting as emotionally involved with the new older actresses
Did anyone else have a problem with Cristan Cole’s arc this episode? I didn’t think his proposal made sense. Rhaenrya would not leave the crown and he should know that. I also did not understand why he confessed to Alicent. He then turned around and beat Joffrey to death to protect himself? Wouldn’t it have made more sense to not confess to Alicent initially, beat Joffrey to death when threatened, then confess to Alicent when she pushed him on why he did it? His motivations did not seem clear to me.
He confessed to Alicent because of the guilt he was holding onto. Criston didn’t want forgiveness, he wanted to be judged. I also believe he beat Joffrey more as a way of directing his anger at Rhaenyra at him.
Yeah i felt like in so much of politics going on.. Rhaenyra being the heir but contant stress that she will have to fight for it with aegon.. And in such times criston is asking her to move away and travel around world and see oranges.. 😂 😂 Then confessing to alicent whose son can be heir and confessing to her will put rhaenyra at risk.. I feel criston was just being stupid.. Thank fully rhaenyra didnt accepted his offer.
I think what made him beat Joffrey to death was frustration and anger not a need to protect himself.If he wanted to protect himself there are better ways to do away with Joffrey than pummelling him to death in front of everyone
I agree. Rhaenyra was about to tell him she could not run away because of the prophecy and he whimpered away. He also completely fell apart instantly to Allicent. Laenor handled getting married after watching his lover beat to death than Cristen did keeping Rhaenyra's secret.
I think the idea is that he is extremely honorable, except for what he did with Rhaenyra, because he really loved her, he shamed himself, and running away was the only way to marry her and regain some honor.
I think they also try to make that point by showing him not just trying to kill himself, but actually trying to harakiri himself.
Basically, he is like a Samurai and not just a common knight with no honor that fucks and breaks vows.
It seemed to me like the assistant to the Maister wanted to prescribe a different treatment for the king. Strong would have heard this. Maybe the assistant replaces the current Maister and his treatment is what allows the king to live another decade. It certainly didn’t seem like he wouldn’t last another ten years without this.
@CyberSecStudy that's the first thing that came to my mind as well when the Grand Maester suggested leaches and rejected his assistant's idea. I haven't read the books that's why I thought that Viserys died in that episode lol. Good to see him live another decade in the episode 6 preview.
Yasss thnks 4 noting dat. I too was wondering if the herbal drinks wud've benefitted the king more than t leeches ..and Why t Maester did not allow him to try that..
@@cindym5896 I didn’t read the book but Strong is smart as heck. I think he caught on to that. He’s now in the difficult position of recognizing that there is a threat from the Maester. He’ll likely navigate his way around this, have the Maester replaced… and the kings health will improve.
@@cybersecstudy9871 I also gathered that. Haven't read this particular story but what you said was what I got too.
Great video! Great enthusiasm!
Thank you.
Rhaenrya didn't lie. She was asked if she slept with Daemon she didn't
that last scene of the dinner was giving me red wedding vibes. has me ANXIOUS the entire time just waiting for ANYTHING bad to happen. whew lol stressful lol
*damn* this is actually getting rather good! The fleshing out of characters and filling in of actual events that would explain the "history" recounted in the book are excellent. Criston Cole is a new type for the Game of Thrones gallery, the unspeakable prig, which neatly accounts for the trajectory of his character. Rhaenyra and Damon are both gorgeous fools, valiant or valorous respectively, but privileged idiots without the sense to know how to get what they want without making carnage and enemies. Her brushing off of Cole's proposal was utter mismanagement, showing scorn for an offer of "oranges and a ship to Essos" instead of the throne; all she had to do was take a regretful, flattered tone instead of the proud one when referring to her duty, and mention the problem of keeping SYRAX while living for love in the Free Cities:) Their pride makes them stupid and cruel, and in his case murderous, but we can't help imagining them wed as Damon asked Viserys-- which would have been an unholy terror of a different sort than the Dance about to begin... And *damn again* I wasn't expecting the pre-wedding party to break out in DOTHRAKI style!
Thank you for making all these great videos! It would be super helpful if you did a video charting the timeline so far like with how much time has passed between all the episodes so far and how old the relevant kids (Rhaenyra, Alicent, Laenor, Laena, and all of their kids) are for all of us having a hard time keeping track, because I'm very confused with how old Alicent's kids look after an only 10 year time jump 😅
I feel for Ser Criston Cole but he seems does guys that when you reject them they punch the wall.
How dare Rhaenyra decides to not give up on her family,her whole life ,being their heir to multiple kingdoms and becoming the first woman ruler for a guy she slept one night !??
And it's obvious that he wanted to escape out of guilty not love .
Exactly--it was all about him the entire time. He even says it in his proposal that he thought that if he married her that his honor would be restored somewhat. Ridiculous.
Daemon's entrance gave me flashbacks of myself 😂😂😂😂. Late to the wedding and IDGF attitude was OG 🔥
Ok, I’ve been thinking since episode 1 when Daemon gave Rhaenyra the necklace that it was to show us that Daemon loves her. This was before she became the heir to the throne, so doesn’t that say something about how he feels? Everyone keeps saying that all he wants from her is the throne.
This also would explain why he stopped the sex in the brothel basement with her - because he couldn’t ruin her. Like his initial purpose of that WAS to soil her but then he couldn’t do it because he does love her, heir or no heir!
yeah I think it’s obvious that he loves her. Also the way he was eyeing her the whole feast this episode…he’s just got very chaotic/blurred intentions lol
Rhaenyra is the one who always finds out his motives. I think he knew, no one knows him better than Rhaenyra (since the Godswood scene on eps 4 and he kinda proud of it).
in the dialogue between those 2, she's trying to provoke him because she knew his real motives. she just trying to stripped down his motives to pissed him off. she know he wouldn't dare to do that and he know she was right. and that's kinda turned him on (?). somehow she's always managed to overpowering him and beat him up over his own game and that makes him frustrated and turned on at the same time. because it always works on everybody except her and we know he doesn't like to lose especially over his own game. idk.
I think he definitely wants her. because tbh, I was in doubt for these past 4 eps and now I'm sure he wants her. but the way he wants her is different from the way Ser Criston wants her. the way Ser Criston wants her is pure love and the way Daemon wants her is kinda like obsession. it's like he wants her but he wants her power too (either her power over him/her power over the Kingdom).
spot on. daemon's love for her is gray like his nature. back when he couldn't have her, mysaria could tell how much he's into her. now that he can actually have her if he only took that commitment, somehow his own nature is in the way and at the end of the day, his love for rhaenyra isn't the romantic epic love but more a reflection of his own inner conflicts. at least rhaenyra knows what she wants and what she's prioritizing. daemon probably surprises even himself whenever he makes a decision. poor criston. the guy poured his heart and soul and got looked down on for being lowborn. i like that this isn't in the book fire and blood and that things like their secret affair were forever never written down on history books and completely forgotten except by the godswood that sees all.
That's the vibe I was getting. He definitely wants the throne but when it comes to Rhaenyra he always loses 😆 I think he makes him mad but he loves her so...🤷🏽♀
@@maggyfrog they end up getting married in the book
@@llopgee2601
i know what happens in the book. i'm just appreciating how it's playing out in the show.
He 150% wants her - and I think he doesn’t want the power of the throne for himself (Matt Smith has said as much in interviews) but he does want power for his family name. He sees Rhaenyra has what it takes to wield that and wants to support her, but I think he is also desperately in love with her and her with him. As Targaryens I think love, power, and love of power are all wrapped up together.
I'm convinced that Daemon Targaryen invented The Game of Chess... he says nothing and just makes big moves for big takes ....
He runs his mouth all the time. He's been trying to talk Rhaenyra into marrying him from the first episode and tried it again this episode. He was talked into joining the war by Corlys. It was Leanor's plan for him to go into the cave. He asked his brother to marry Rhaenyra. He went back to the Vale on Viserys's orders. So no, he did not invent chess. He barely plays it well.
Très intéressant. Merci.
Peak house of the dragons so far. Brilliant scene after brilliant scene. The one between corlys and rhaenys, the conversation between daemon and rhaenyra at the end.
Anyone else think HOTD seems very dialogue light compared to GOT? I swear in every scene each character has like 5 lines max. Hope this changes when things start to heat up
It definitely feels rushed to me. A lack of dialogue and character depth makes it hard to care about characters. I want to care, but it feels flatter than GOT.
Maybe bingeing the season will feel better as a whole piece than episodes once a week.
Can we please talk about how Rhea taunted Daemon about not consummating their marriage and how he "couldn't finish"? Starting to wonder if Daemon has some "issue"?
In the books (SPOILER ALERT) he has twin daughters with Laena.
He didn't like her, that's why he couldn't do anything in bed probably
maybe they tried to consummate but just like how Daemon give Rheanyra Targaryan blue balls at the brothels, he must have done that beforehand on his betroth
he constantly spends time in brothels and takes whores as girlfriends , it would not have been only a theory or whisper , it would be a known fact .
The show makes no sense the girl he killed was actually beautiful and in the trailer looks like he got with my daughter wich is much uglier lmao
"Take me to dragonstone and make me your wife" I mean...I almost choked on my popcorn. 🤭🤭🤭
My favorite episode so far. Alicent is already on my last nerve. Raehnyra has done nothing to Alicent. Alicent is just being judgmental and quite frankly it’s none of her damn business what Raehnyra does with her body. She can have an opinion, but to get angry and turn against her is too much. Alicent is far from perfect. She was going behind Raehnyra’s back to “console” Visarys and now she wants to act like she’s miss perfect virtue, please. I was so confused when the fight broke out and still don’t get why ser Criston decided to take his anger out on poor Joffrey. This show just keeps getting better and better. Can’t wait till next week.
Rhaenyra flat out lied to her face about being a virgin after Alicent stuck up for her to the King and Otto, then Rhaenyra got her father fired. She also prioritised Rhaenyra's right to the thrown over her own son, despite knowing the realm would support her son's claim. She did everything to stand by her friend and did her duty to her father and her king despite hating every minute of it. I'm really baffled as to how you think SHE'S in the wrong at all.
YES
@@DanBrown96 Imagine your mother dying at Childbirth, and your “best friend” seducing your father behind your back. You’ll shout her on the spot I can assure you. I can’t wait for Alicent’s death in this series. Alicent understood the repercussions of marrying the king, she caused the dance of dragons if you ask me. If she kept her legs closed, maybe all the events wouldn’t have unfolded. She’s no saint!
@@DanBrown96 Alicent stuck up for her because of her own guilty conscience for betraying Rhaenyra by essentially (chastely) seducing her father. She was not a good friend to her either. So I don’t feel bad for Alicent - why would Rhaenyra trust her? With something so important, that she knows will be reported straight back to her even less trustworthy father Otto?
@@DanBrown96 Rhaynera never said she was still a virgin, the question Alicent asked was "did you f*uck Daemon at a pleasure house?" The princess did not lie.
Yeeeeeeep!!! Been waiting for this. This episode made me remind me why I fell in love with GOT in 2011. Thank you!!
Awesome, thanks!
in the rhaenyra and criston scene on the boat i feel like she was just about to get to the part about the prophecy her dad told her and her duty to keep the targaryan dynasty going so that they can fulfill the prophecy (the song of ice and fire, the prince who was promised etc.)
After finally seeing a grown up Leana I need to see more of her! She seems to be the opposite of her brother and I’m here for it
Yes I like her. Very confident. I was looking forward to her scenes with Daemon.
The rat should represent Larys Strong. If he never mentions about Rhaenyra's moon tea to Alicent, Alicent would still support her as queen and Joffrey would still be alive.
Wow I knew it! Larys Strong is a player like Petyr Beallish.
well, in fairness to him, he doesn't want Rhaenyra to be queen and Joffrey shouldn't have went running his mouth.
What family is sir Larys from?
The gray rats are the maesters. They have been killing the dragons and magic all this time
Loving this season! Anytime there is a wedding I’m grabbing my popcorn and spending an hour looking like Michael Jackson in the thriller video gif lol
Another great video👍Everytime I'm watching a new episode premiere of House Of The Dragon 🐲🐉 on HBO, I know Emergency Awesome is going to breakdown every key scene of the episode, and I happily look forward to the new video about said episode. Your wealth of knowledge on the series you cover is outstanding. Salute to you for your hard work, insight and great videos.
Great video, gretings from Chile!!. The only thing i think you got wrong is around minute six of the video, the justice thar Corlys Valaryon is after , and that works us his motivation to marry his son and heir to Rhaenyra, is not for his house but for her wife the queen thant never was. It is convey realy explicitly on the the show.
Have and awesome week, thanks for your great videos, been a fan of the chanel since you started making GOT videos.
The wedding was kinda hilarious 😂 poor king, his plans never come to flourish
where the f... did Daemon go in this fighting scene?! he was there to stop Rhaenyra marrying Laenor, yet did nothing?!?! he seemed even to kiss her and he was one of the best worriors yet left Rhaenyra in this chaos?? just disappointing and illogical 🤔
He did just disapparate, didn't he?? I was disappointed. But that's the thing with him. You never know what he's going to do.
@@ElissaStark514 I understand what you mean. But still consider this episode as the worst regarding Daemon so far. To give him a scene just because he "needed" a scene. They seem to just puzzle parts together to stay in the storyline GRRM gave (fates of the characters, who they're going to marry etc)
I'm genuinely surprised that Criston Cole is still alive. lol. I woulda thought they'd killed him off by now.
He has a bigger purpose later in the show
Right? like wtf, they just watched him walk out after beating a man to death?
@@Peecamarke Depends on how he justifies his actions. I'm guessing Alicant will vouch for him and they will twist the truth, so in saving him, he will be loyal to her.
Good job man I literally watch a new episode and come straight to your channel ,,
Alicent has some nerve in my opinion to try and hold Rhynera to a friendship she ended by marrying her father. She never told her she was seeing her dad. Rhynera found out at the same time everyone else did.
This episode was so intense that I didn’t even notice that it was a shorter episode.
I NOTICE IT cus the wedding was BARELY 12-15 minutes‼ I kept looking at the screen time like WHEN they gonna FIT IN the WELL NEEDED PHYSICAL DRAMA in SUCH LITTLE TIME⚠️ Definitely a nail biter moment for me lmfao smh bol
