    Don’t forget that Helaena is also Alicent’s child. And her trying to explain to her child why she was sleeping with someone else while her grandchild was being killed. Not both your son and daughter got their child killed and all you can focus on in Ser Criston. All the greens are on my nerves except Helaena.

    Aegon’s face cracked me up when he looked at Sir Criston after he called Rhaenyra outta her name. It was giving “that’s my sister, I can talk about her, but you can’t.”

    • @daniellemusella1594
      @daniellemusella1594 Před 8 dny

      @YungB222 That's why I feel like, personality-wise, Aegon has a lot of similarities to his paternal uncle. He's impulsive, vengeful, way over-protective, a heavy drinker, and he's prolific with the ladies, though we've never heard of the Rogue Prince ever r****g someone. Those last two are, clearly, his way of hiding painful insecurity. It's as if we're being shown how things would've looked, if Daemon had ever actually tried to overthrow Viserys and succeeded. I got those same "I speak of my brother, as I wish. You will not" vibes. (6/29/2024)

  • @prettynerd4779

    Crispin is truly unstable.. even Aegon gave him the side eye when he called Rhanerya the B**** Queen.. Like that was really OUT OF POCKET for a Kings guard to say.. Its so obvious he is still in love with her.. deep down its Rhanerya.. He is unstable though because just how he lashed out at Rhaneryas wedding.. He lashed out again but with the Twin and basically ordered him to his death.. Random: you can tell that Otto really loved and missed Viserys.. Also, what Otto did was disgusting.. but that ish was GENIUS.. he literally got the realm to turn on Rhanerya without shedding blood.. its a reason he was hand to 3 kings

    @GodsonSublime Před 13 dny +18

    I think the ending of Twin fight was meant to be ambiguous. Hence the Arryn/Erryn’s final words: “I’m sorry, your grace.” when responding to Rheanyra’s call for Erryn (Black). Before the fight, Arryn (Green) was actually sympathetic to Rheanyra before he attacked her meaning that there was never genuine malice in his heart towards her. It was said that the Cargyll twins shared the same soul in two different bodies, so by having one kill the other was too grievous of a wound to bare. I personally don’t think that Erryn won the fight but the message is clear that there was no victor, there couldn’t be.

    No the episodes arent going slow. This is the game of thrones universe. The politics are everything. You gonna find another show if you want random action all the time. I think Daemon's actions are still tearing down Team Green. Not too much on Daemon naw. He is an awesome character and he stands on business. He clearly loves his family. If he really didnt want Rhaenyra on the throne he could have gotten rid of her a long time ago.
    None of the other kids talk alot. Not just Bayla.

      Agreed. Daemon Stands on Business, and frankly he should be Rhynaera's hand. I know he is unorthodox, but I trust him to do what needs to be done no matter what. He is a very passionate man who loves his family. He has had Rhyneara's back consistently for years. don't forget he beheaded the man that was calling. out her kids in court.

    As a book reader I think it’s moving too fast 😂 seeing Aegon & the greens grieve & Otto use it & Aegon ruin it! Alicent & Cole’s guilt was great to watch. Rhaenyra reading Daemon was sooo needed! The Daeron name drop finally! I thought they forgot about Alicent’s youngest son. The twins duel was heartbreaking & Aemond showing remorse for Luke’s death was also needed. People get too caught up in battles but I live for the character development & small council meetings that’s what made GOT great not the battles but the lead up.

    I don't understand your complaints cause the first seasons of GOT were as "slow"as these two first episodes, pure politics and intrigue.

I am so happy the grandfather lost his position and got kick out the kingdom by the monster he created, but he definitely destroy Aegon by told him his father didn't choose him and didn't love him. now sir bitter is going to used the king to get revenge on Rhaenyra for rejected him.

    I was thinking that the twin who offed himself might have been arryk. He might have saw how his brother fought for her and the love and knew he couldn’t live any longer so he called her his queen because she is. That’s something grrm might do

    There is more story to come for the PoC characters, they won’t always be in the background.

    I really love your reactions, they’re hilarious. I definitely think this episode is better than the last one. 4/5 stars.
    Compared to GOT, it’s clear they have different “vibes” as shows, but individually as episodes, or overall as shows, I would say the quality compares to Season 2 of GOT. Not as good as GOT’s peak (seasons 3 & 4) or to season 1, but definitely has the potential and time to reach that level.
    It’s without a doubt better than GOT’s Season 5, 6, 7, & 8 though so I have hope and would be very sad if you stopped reviewing :(

      Yeah I thought these episodes were pretty good. The political conversations happening in dark rooms is what I loved about GoT.

    The season is definitely moving too slow for me and there's too many Alicent scenes. I'm no book nerd, I'm genuinely just here for the enjoyment after watching GOT, but is Alicents presence this big in the books???

    • @cardenova
      @cardenova Před 11 dny +1

      Yes, in fact she’s even more influential, though she is more callous/cruel. Similarly, Criston is also even more powerful in the books, he’s more ruthless. What the show has done is basically make them just as destructive but more realistic with the whole concept of sanctity and hypocrisy. So it makes them more realistic villains, but admittedly less entertaining for TV. That said, their roles will be quickly diminishing soon and the actual story has only just started. It definitely is meant to have a different vibe to GOT, so I agree it’s hard to get used to so much dialogue.
      In fairness, what made GOT so shallow after season 4 all the way to the last season was its LACK of emotional or intellectually dialogue so I do appreciate that they understand most of their mistakes with the latter half of GOT and seem to be trying to impress us with the writing/acting.

      @cardenuovo I appreciate this explanation so much. I think I'm just tired of seeing Alicent and Criston Cole on my screen so maybe season 2 just won't be for me, but I'll still be here to watch it unfold lol. I loved GOT S1-4 and HOD S1. Although I hate Otto, I have to admit he's the reason I could get through episode 2 of this new season.

    Im seeing a lot of confusion from people on why Daemon would send “random” people to kill Aemond and it’s quite simple allow me to explain. These 2 specific names were given by the white worm because they are within her network. The gold cloak served under Daemon when Daemon was commander of the gold cloaks and like stated hates the hightowers, the rat catcher was chosen because he is heavy debt and has a heavy understanding of maegors secret tunnels that lead into Maegors holdfast which is where the Usupers family resides. The reason why Daemon himself didn’t attend the mission because it was basically a suicide mission as seen this episode neither assassin survived, his royal ilk is more important than killing the petulant brat Aemond.

    Not only very little screentime and development, but they’re also trying to cut Nettles. Nettles the Canon black female character and one of the most interesting dragon riders in the entire series. These people are undershirt

    I think Daemon sent the rat catchers because he couldn’t risk getting caught. Also I think episode 2 was very slow! I’m ready to see a fight between the dragons lol.
