    They definitely showed Aemond trying to kill his brother with his dragon and a sword at the end. Rhaenys and Meleys death just broke my heart. It seemed like every time they were going to fly away, Meley's would glance back at Rhaenys as if to say they couldn't run and this was the best chance to kill Vhagar and avoid more bloodshed. And that last glance from Meleys before she dies while gripped by Vhagar. 😭😭😭💔💔💔 They will be so missed! Also how cute and special were Rhaenys and Aegons moments with their dragons before they flew to battle? Just shows how incredible the dragon/rider bond is.

      I think Aemond was just prepared for battle while looking for his brother of vhagar but he def hit him with the dracarys prior so they can go either way. They sure wanted us to know Cole thought so that's why he called out his name when he saw him like "stop!"

      @@danielhughes5932 Aemond was trying to, at the *very least*, maim Aegon. I’m fairly sure he was actually trying to find a way to kill him. That is also why he didn’t ‘allow’ Vhagar to enter the fight when the signal was given. He wanted Meleys and Rhaenys to do their best to Aegon & Sunfyre, thus possibly killing his brother, while also wearing The Red Queen and her rider down at the same time. He would have been only too happy if they had killed the King and his mount. He would also get the benefit of looking like the hero when he rose up and slaughtered the ones who harmed the king. We can literally see Aemond say, “fuck it, I will just burn them all”, when he enters the fight and lets loose with Vhagar’s fiery breath, engulfing both smaller dragons and their riders. He wants Aegon out of the picture, so he can take the throne… just like he has always wanted.

    The blood on Daemon's hands wasn't Weirwood sap or anything real. It was a symbol of all the blood on his hands and it was meant to be Rhaenyra's blood. We know because he wakes up, sees the blood, looks away as the drapes are opened and then looks back at his hand and it's gone. The only weirwood juice we see was when Alys Rivers was mixing up his weirwood paste for his awakening.

There actually is tactics being used that aemond trap was so good. I like the subtly of aemond using high vocabulary in Valyrian while aegon uses basic vocabulary as a way of showing aemond always took his role seriously unlike aegon.

At around the 29:12 minute mark of this episode, Daemon drinks whatever Alys Rivers made for him to sleep better at night. When Daemon comes to (regains consciousness) there's a cool rolling fade-in camera shot (a camera trick seen in Dune Part 1 -- The Gom Jabbar scene -- but in reverse). It's a great use of camera work to help enhance the character's moment of confusion, disjointedness or awakened from an almost dream like state. Overall, this episode was awesome!

    Aemond is not to be played with!!!
    The dragons fighting is some of the best shit I’ve seen in a while! I replayed it 3 times in a row! This show is 🔥

    Also I noticed how when Aemond was lying in wait, he was able to stop Vhagar from launching, showing hes in control. If you said it I'm sorry i missed it but great video!

    What I would write:
    Dear George,
    I care not for the people. I care for the dragons. The cries are just as tortuous to hear as is with any creature. Keep the dragons. Humans are the worst.

      EXACTLY. I quit. I can't take seeing those amazing beings turning on each other and suffering and screaming in pain. IDGAF that it's just a show and they're CGI.

      @@worldadventuretravel I hope you can stick with it. I’ve felt like that before, too. I’m glad I didn’t stop watching that show, though. I know it’s hard to watch, and it’s just because you have a heart.♥️♥️

    The Aemond, council valerian scene was such a power boss move. He spoke really calmly while humiliating Aegon.
