- Welcome to my House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 5 Recap/Review!
The Dance of the Dragons is underway and there is no turning back now
I'll be doing weekly recaps as the season unfolds where we can pick apart everything that goes down!
All views expressed are my opinion. It's a fictional series, so lets keep it cute shall we?

I really liked how Helaena confronted Aemond. She lost her son because of him. Now it's her children's father who get burned because of this cyclop(AGAIN).
Jace was like "Vermithor and Silverwing☝🏼🤓"
As if Rhaenyra didn't already know their names😂
He just reminded her. Not that he thought that she didn't know obviosly💀
I miss Otto and I never thought this would happen! He would be able to see the problem with parading the head of Meleys around Kings Landing right away. Aemond is too prideful and dense to make Otto his hand but he barely has a chance at ruling.
RIGHT!!!! The moment I saw this I was like Otto would have NEVER allowed this to happen.
@@joshuawilson9035 thoughtless, feckless!
Couldn’t agree more! I’d love to have seen his reaction when he found out what they did with Meleys! His face alone would have been a picture
Baela and Jace were the highlight for me, they both got multiple scenes including with each other. I’m glad I’m not alone in wishing we just like a little good bye kiss. But I do love how comfortable they are with each other.
Yeah, but they act more like best friends than a betrothed couple. They don't even kiss
I'm a bit concerned w how the writers are dealing with Daemon and the Harrenhall plot..I feel like they just see Matt Smith and think of Prince Phillip in The Crown Seasons 1 and 2 lol.."let's make him low key jealous and emasculated"...I dunooo
I feel like the writers don't understand or really care about Daemon. They're digging him deeper and deeper into unlikable, then they'll kill him off. I hope we get to see the good aspects of his character again before the battle above the gods eye.
long form content is what we all want !!! never overthink it
I love getting your perspective of all of the events and details! So glad we’re getting these longer videos from you in addition to TikTok. ❤
Thank you so so much!!
i feel like the curse of harrenhall is whats fueling alys’s magic and making it so strong
I’m here for this theory!
Phia Saban has been a highlight this season and is an absolute scene-stealer.
Couldn’t agree more!
Daemon was hearing Alys' voice when he was talking to the Riverlords! That's why he started looking around, panicking!! Watch it and listen carefully!
Also I absolutely love your videos! I can't wait for more!😍😍😍
Aemond terrorising Aegon next week, he's totally in his villain era
Genuinely so done with Daemon’s storyline. Trying to remain patient but I am traumatized from D&D assassinating plot lines and characters 🫠
I loved the small gesture from rhaenyra setting aside the cask with the hand of the queen when she planned to ask Baela to go right away. She seen Baela was hurting, so she set it aside out of hand and talked and comforted Baela. The most anyone has been comforted this whole season. Was a small gesture and think it shows the difference in the two sides.
Came from TicTok, I live these long form videos!
Thank you so much!!
It was so frustrating that Cole choose to parade the head of the Dragon. Like dude, now no one will fear them lol. He's such a fool
Couldn’t agree more! It was so poorly thought out
alicent and criston interaction was probably the best scene in the episode (alongside with one-minute take of olivia cooke heavily breathing and baela & corlys). now, i don’t like criston as a person but my god the tremble in his voice, the awkward way of saying every word.. you just see how deeply he was traumatized by the rook’s rest. i would love them to explore this side of him a bit more.
thank you for the video, it always sooo interesting to listen to your thoughts especially because you don’t go into extremes and actually see all sides in the story!!
I just love how you explain things! You have such insight to the characters!
The team behind the Eyrie in this episode....are they drinking from Daemon's cup cause that was NOT the Eyrie, not even bloody close.
And bloody hell, I know Targs are gunna Targ but come on! Did we really need that? We get it, he's a second son and he's struggling with it. They better be building to something good cause if they mess with Daemon's arc like they did Daenerys' then I will be officially done with these HBO adaptations, and you can find me weeping in a corner waiting for Winds of Winter.
You took the words right out of my mouth!!
He definitely remembers, looks like aemond is intimidating him in the trailer using his frail state to silence him.
You are doing such a great job on here! Make them long videos girl, i need them 😂
I love the relationship between Jace and Rhaenyra, it's such a beautiful mother/son relationship. (unlike Alicent and her kids.....)
It’s like night and day!
Hey ❤ I love your tik toks but I’m sooo happy you’re on CZcams! Love the long videos, the longer the better. You have a fantastic voice!
Well if the show stick to the book, then Alfred Broome the chad is coming later👍
I absolutely love seeing you pop up in my CZcams feed ❤
Dead on about Daemon. Its so irritating at this point. He was favored last season and I feel like they are trying to portray and even worse side to get people not to like him. Hope I'm wrong. Because the books and GRRM is quite clear that he is equally GOOD and BAD. That is what makes him an interesting character.
You do such a good content ❤ love from Finland
Thank you so much!!
I have always found the Idea of the dragonseeds stupid. Giving nuclear bombs to some random without taking account of a potential betrayal👀. Nice job Nyra and Jace🤦🏽
i mean they need riders for all their dragons. they have way more than team green does so it doesn’t seem like a bad idea at first.
@@penguin50279At first not but would you give your nuc to another country who could potentially turn against yours in a close future? We never know what people could become in the following years.
i love the character still images (especially Alicent) its always them doing a silly face
I love to think that so far we all like Alyss Rivers and how she´s (allegedly) helping Daemon in his arch... yet, there is this part of me that still believes that she is BAD and she´s just playing, and all of this we are seeing about how she cares for the smallfolks and how she´s funny is all a façade, and at the end she´s just the evil witch playing with him and driving him crazy.
love that you’re on youtube now you’re the only ASOIAF creator i like ❤
I wonder if we’ll ever see Dreamfyre. Also why didn’t Jace mention the wild dragons? Having grown up on Dragonstone he would’ve been aware of them
Same! I’d love one moment with her and Helaena! Also with Jace and the wild dragons, good point! Maybe he’s thinking the others are more used to being ridden and they’d have more success with those ones first?
Im scared for the dragons existence 😢… I wish they didn’t chop off Meles head
I think the writers don’t realize that if they take away our love for Daemon and more importantly his love and support for Rhaenyra then his final act loses all its meaning
Also, Baela and Corlys scene was amazing Baela stole the episode IMO. Even her scene with Jace.
She’s such a brilliant character, I’m loving every single scene she’s in
Idk why but it feels like what daemon is experiencing is just a vision, what if what Alys gave him last episode just made him fall in some sort of coma and we’re just seeing his dream/vision ? I think it’s some type of trip for him to realize how bad of a king he would’ve been. Idk I might be wrong.
looks like I went on YT at the perfect time.. looking forward to this 🐉
Once again an amazing video! Just have a question about sunfyre. This episode made it seem like they were dead but we know the book is different and sunfyre still participates in the war. Do you think they'll change the event sunfyre takes part in or maybe they just think they are dead but they are still alive?
That’s what I was freaking out about. There was a line that I rewinded to make sure I heard it right: Sunfyre took long in the dying. This is a major change with what the golden dragon does later on in the book.
Thank you firstly! And second, I hope sunfyre is okay because it would have major implications for future storylines
My dream collab is you and David Lightbringer ❤
I need more Helaena interacting with the other characters. Also I saw a theory online that Alys Rivers is a ghost in Harrenhal. It seems that when she is in a scene with someone other than Daemon they dont look her way as if she isnt even there. Also this week when Ser Simon approachs Daemon about the Brackens coming to Harrenhal, Ser Simon walks past her and seems to look at her but im thinking is he looking to see who Daemon is talking too because she isnt actually there.
Your doing a great job so far I think! I live for ypur videos on tick tock to and ran to subscribe when ypu announced ypu made a CZcams.
Could you do a video on bloodraven? That would be so so cool
Absolutely!
I can hear IMMEDIATELY after seeing you post on TikTok that it was out! ♥️♥️♥️
I feel as if Rheanyra should try and portray a mix between Rheanys and Visenya. Both were loved and respected by Westeros, but so feared. Both of aegons sister wives were able to rull completely fine. Aegon would always leave and let them rule in his stead.
Rheanyra needs to atleast take example from the two:)
What about Sunfyre ? If he's really dead, it's a big change from the book... especially regarding what he's supposed to do in Dragonstone...
10:47- not sure if you maybe misspoke or not but daemon didn’t burn the brackens. if you go back to the convo between him n the blackwood guy, after daemon says “i didn’t think they’d be so eager to die” n then he tells daemon that he “should’ve obliged them” or in other words, that he should’ve burned them like they said to do. n daemon responds with “i came to raise an army, not corpses. they’d rather burn than die, that’s the men i need” (i’m paraphrasing btw lol it was something along those lines) n then he tells blackwood to go n do some war crimes lol not really a big deal, but just wanted to point that out to you just in case you did miss it n it wasn’t misspeaking lol love you n your vids sooooo much btw ❤❤❤❤
It was waited ❤❤
I can't believe am saying this but I was so let down by this episode but balea made it for me also kinda getting over the whole daemon and harrenhall thing now
Anyone else find it interesting, that Alicent ONLY asked Cole what happened on the battlefield, and didn't ask her own brother. I know Gwayne didn't know about the original plan, but he still witnessed the dragon fight.
Just a question - do you think Daemon knows that his two sons were sent away? Does he have any regard for them and their safety in your opinion? I remember him referencing his sons a while back. Love your videos!
Am I the only one who feels like they are dragging Daemon's storyline so they can keep Matt Smith around as long as they can? I mean, I love Matt. He is killing this role but if keeping him around longer than he needs to be is killing the story, that's not good.
I wonder if Seasmoke thinks Adam is Laenor's brother (half)? And that is why he's following him around, like he feels familiar with him somehow. Unfortunately, I think we have to assume Laenor has been killed off screen :(
Cool I think I’m first 😅
Have you thought start making reaction videos?? I would love to watch that!!
Who came from TikTok
Love your content soo much ♥️♥️♥️ So i have a question not related to the episode, hope you see this because i need an explanation 😭 So about hair color, I need someone to explain to me why is it that only the strong boys have different hair color, yet alicent is a red head and all her kids are blonde, but then we see Aegons bastard and hes blonde as well as other targ bastards..someone explain genetics to me because this show is confusing me, is the blonde gene just from a targ father? How do the genes know if youre married or not 😅 make it make sense!!
IMO they are so excited to have Matt Smith and want to utilize his stardom but I am over the Daemon tripping balls stuff.
How do you think, Cole is loyal to Aemon cause he is a man or he just fears him? For me it looks like he’s traumatised and has death fear 😅
I think a bit of both! I think it started with him thinking he could mould aemond but now he’s beyond anyone’s control and Cole is just realising the extent of the problem
Hello!! I came from tiktok!! I hope to see more from you i love your take on the series!!!💜
Aw thank you so much!
I think the writers don’t realize that if they take away our love for Daemon and more importantly his love and support for Rhaenyra then his final act loses all its meaning
