4:46 „why there are so many people in here” Those masked women were the Silent Sisters, we’ve seen them before in HotD and GoT. They are the ones who prepare the bodies for the final journey. So, having them present in that room and Alicent nervously glancing at them was to show that Aegon is literally just balancing between life and death.
The lady who opens the door to Elinda (Rhaenyra's lady in waiting sent to King's Landing by Mysaria) is Dyanna... she was the one SA'd by Aegon in season 1 and sent away by Alicent. She also makes an appearance in the previous episode in this season where we saw Ulf (the Targaryan bastard) in the pub.. she was serving drinks to the men, including Aegon (who did not even recognize her)
The Targeryan bastard at the bar is Ulf. Also, notice how Hugh (the guy with the sick daughter) has white hair. They are focusing on that family for a reason. And let's not forget about Corlys' bastard sons. Valeryons have dragon blood. Many options. And no, these are not spoilers. This is stuff people can pick up on if they are paying attention.
I agree. Also, a lot of people seem to think that the Targaryen line started with Targaryens marrying each other. Aegon the Conqueror's mother was actually a Velaryon, & it was the conqueror who encouraged the pure bloodline between Targaryens starting with his two Sisters lol.
Yes, all you need is one of the parents to have dragon blood valerian or Targaryen. Just look at Luke and Jace. Their father was a strong and mother a Targaryen and they both ride dragons!
What Rhaenyra and Jace were saying is that you don't have to be legitimate, but you do need to be of the bloodline, the dragons recognize blood, they don't care what your last name is.
I appreciated seeing how shaken Criston was by the battle. Despite having experience, it’s completely new territory for him. Him choosing Aemond wasn’t out of fear of Aemond or as a slight to Alicent, it was a recognition that he’s way out of his depth & doesn’t understand this new power that’s been brought to the table.

Glad to see Cole witness what a dragon war means first hand and being shaken up. Quite a few of these male characters have been so eager to use the dragons for attack and power hungry. So much that they dont realize the cost of a dragon war means complete devastation regardless of whose side the dragons are on.
Unlike most I didn’t see that council scene as Alicent “finally getting a taste of her own medicine”. Alicent’s arguably the female character in the main cast that’s been most affected by misogyny and she’s very aware of it, she spoke about it very candidly with Rhaenys. Her putting Aegon in the throne was never about Rhaenyra being a woman, it was about the safety of her sons. Volunteering to be regent wasn’t because she suddenly forgot that the men around her don’t respect a woman’s authority, it was a desperate plea to keep Aemond from getting more power right after nearly killing her other son.
@@nascreates3392 I’m sure she did, which is why I think it was out of desperation. Though, I also think the scene mostly exists to parallel what Rhaenyra was saying about the men at her table speaking around her.
It's not so much about the misogyny but about the consequences of her actions finally catching up with her. Aemond is only on the throne now because of her actions & let's be honest, she _wanted_ to believe Viserys wanted Aegon on the throne. Logically, it made no sense he would suddenly change his mind after adamantly declaring Rhaenyra for years but she blindly ignored that because it didn't suit her own ambitions. And she ignored it again when she found out she misunderstood Viserys' dying words. It was nice to see her finally feel the effects and consequences of everything she caused out of spite.
The problem with your claim that usurping Rhaenyra was never about her being a woman ignores that it relies completely on Rhaenyra being a woman to work. If Rhaenyra was Viserys' firstborn son, there would be no chance for Aegon to be on the throne (whether or not Alicent feared for her sons from their half-brother) Alicent took advantage of Westeros' widespread misogyny as the mechanism to usurp Rhaenyra and set her aside for a man despite her being Viserys' chosen heir, and now Alicent herself is being set aside for a man despite otherwise being the best & obvious choice for Regent.
@DeanLance-v4b He also has "2nd son syndrome". But the stark difference between Aemond and Daemon, is that Daemon legitimately loved Viserys despite everything. Aemond doesn't give a shit about Aegon.
3:09 i saw that pointed out so I'll say it here, aemond being framed as so much taller than alicent as if her kids and their actions have outgrown her controle or influence
Eh, the girl who opened the door to Mysaria's spy was the young girl Aegon raped in Season 1. I like that her inclusion reminds us not to get too sympathetic for him.
Damn. That scene between Corlys and Baela was like the best scene this episode. Editor should have kept the whole thing in the edit. The whole point of trying to put Aegon on the throne was because he's the first son. Why would Alicent expect support when an immediate male successor is there. She's the Queen Dowager, Criston's position is higher than hers now. She has no control. Aegon was the only one who really listened to her and he's down for now. ****all the "small folk " that we've been introduced to will come into play at some point. They haven't been showing us random people for no reason.
I think a significant detail you might have missed in this ep, is that Daemond told the Blackwoods "there are some things the crown can't be seen doing" so while he did tell them to hurt the Brackens he told them to do it in secret (aka using the Blackwood vs. Bracken feud as an excuse, to weaken the Brackens so they'd be more likely to bend the knee or maybe so he could come in as a hero with a reconciliation/saving them later, not entirely sure on his thought process for how this would work tbh), but instead the Blackwoods flew the Targeryan Banner while committing the atrocities outing the fact that it was a royal order to do this. This is why, Daemon can be seen panicking when they mention the flag because he knows he messed up, he just made yet another enemy for him and Rhaenyra and weakened both their claims because now their name is linked to this horrible act, when what he intended was to keep both their names "clean" and make it seem like it was just the Blackwoods independently attacking the Brackens.
Ya'll Missed when Aegon said "Mommy" at the end there..... ALso ....Ulf, Hugh, Addam and Allyn are all part of the lines. Hence they Introduced them to us earlier in the season....
The thinking is that you don't necessarily have to be of noble blood, but descended from the people of Valyria. The dragonriders are supposedly bonded to their dragons through some kind of Valyrian blood magic. If the Vakyrian blood is "thin" (aka the potential rider is the descendant of a branch of the family that married other families for a couple of generations before marrying back into a Valyrian line) then the dragons won't accept the rider. This is why the Velaryons and the Targaryens intermarried between their families so much (and why Corlys was so pissed when Viserys chose Alicent over Laena), and why the Targaryens marry their own siblings and cousins as often as they do. "Thinning out" their Valyrian blood too much would mean that they were less likely to be able to tame and claim a dragon. (Putting eggs in the cradles to bond with the kids from birth came later; when Rhaenyra's first son was born, Viserys decreed he should have a "cradle egg" as a subtle way of proving that the boy was true Valyrian blood and put an end to the rumors he was a bastard. When Aegon and Helaena's kids were born, he couldn't admit he had only given cradle eggs to prove Rhaenyra's kids weren't bastards, so eggs were given to Helaena's children as well, and later to Rhaenyra's 2 sons by Daemon.) We will see going forward just how much Valyrian blood, if any, you really have to have in order to claim an adult dragon.
She forgot that Rhaeryna wasn't wanted because she was Female and Aegon was the first Male. They wouldn't Put a Female on throne now whats the point was this whole war if they do
9:40 I didn't catch it, but in another video someone pointed out that this was likely the moment Rhaena learned her grandmother was gone. Ruthless way to break the news, Lady Jayne
The silent sister's when they show up it always gives an eerie vibe! And showing the dragons head was so wrong. And if this sticks to the books it's going to get bad!
Two reaction things I found funny about this episode : 05:00 : When they put that bone back, seeing it did not trigger everyone but the sound of it definitely finished the job. I know that's what happened with me. The view did nothing except "Damn, that's looking bad." but the cracking bit right after, jeez. And the "favorite son" moment is hilarious because it seems it finally drew a line in the acceptance of incest for the Thrones universe : brother/sister : cool, aunt/nephew : cool, uncle/niece : cool, mother/son : HELL NOPE. 🤣😂
The storyline involving Daemon and Alys Rivers, particularly the supernatural elements at Harrenhal, is both intriguing and well-executed. As a reader of the books, I find the portrayal of Alys Rivers by the actress to be exceptional. Her ability to hold her own alongside Matt Smith is impressive, and her performance effectively conveys the character's mysterious motivations and ambitions. This nuanced portrayal adds depth to the character, enhancing the overall narrative of the show.
Nothing gave me more pleasure this episode than watching Alicent losing her last bit of power. Now maybe she understands what her family has done to Rhaenyra. I do like the Rhaenyra and Mysaria team up and Baela and Jace really stepped up this episode. A satisfying episode and I can't wait for next week!
Alicent when the patriarchal system doesn't want to work with her (even though she knew she was just a pawn controlled by other men who benefited from the system): 😲
@@aj897 I mean, they put Aegon on the throne because they didn't want a woman as queen. That took away Rhaenyra's power. Also, when Alicent and Otto ruled while Viserys was ill and they were about to take away Rhaenyra's son's birthright to Driftmark. Viserys had to step in to help his daughter. Don't come at me with insults when I've been watching the same fucking show as you sugar. Have a nice day.
it’s so funny watching people act like alicent isn’t a victim too lol, she was literally groomed from childhood by her own father and the only reason she wanted her son on the throne is bc he told her that her sons would be killed by her at the age of 18 years old, and she truly thought up until episode 3 that it was viserys’ last wish. she is not the evil villain yall want her to be
It was a good episode, aftermath really. Corlys, Jace, Aemond, Baela and Alys were absolutely incredible. It was a breather (calm) before another storm arises, I’m excited for Valerian Bastards to claim dragons. Episode 7 and 8 will definitely be spectacular.
Dragons tend to grow differently depending on how free they are, which is why drogon was much larger than his brothers in Game of Thrones despite being the same age. The dragons brought to the vale are very young though, they will take years to grow, making them pretty useless.
@AegonTc6 no your right. I've noticed that, too. I like reactions vids and certain channels that do the talking about the episode at the end after they've watched it.!
Physicians have been using external fixators on fractures for over 2000 years, first described by Hippocrates. Y'all got me curious and I had to look it up (I'm retired from the operating room and have experience with them but know nothing about the background). I was stunned.
I wish Alicent would talk to her brother that was there and get the real story. I hope they have guards near Aegon so Aedmond won’t finish it off before he speaks if he ever wakes. I hope they get more dragon riders on the black side and fight back asap. Great reaction can’t wait for the next episode ♥️
Oak & Answer turning away & Quinn's cute scrunch up of the face at 4:54 I love how you all have your own special way of reacting to stuff hehe, "Grandsire" is a great sounding word! & yay! for another "M'Lady" reaction ^.^ Losing Rhaenys & King Aegon being scorched has made such a powerful impact across Kingdoms. If looks could kill with that dagger stare Alicent had when Aemond was named successor 😮 "taking his ball to the head of the table" ☝️ Daemon getting more more disturbed by his visions & was a moving scene with Corlys & Rhaena. "Wolf hour" sounds likes a fancy word for "Midnight hour" lol **howls** 🐺
it would be hypocritical for team green to appoint Alicent as the regent after all this time. the whole reason this war is happening is because they denied Rhaenyra, a woman, the right to rule, despite the fact that Viserys cemented her as his chosen heir, and that is something that we, the audience, no beyond a doubt. Alicent is one of the most qualified people to take up the role, but she dug herself into this hole by reinforcing the precedent of denying women the right to rule. she made her bed, now she has to lay in it.
here's my analysis of the Intro: The tapestry is the Story of House Targaryen and Valyria. The Backstabbing Image might be the ancient valyrian ritual that bonded them to the dragons; then there is Daenys the dreamer foreseeing the Doom of Valyria which is depicted as the burning city with the volcanoes erupting and dragons falling from the sky; the three dragons and their riders are aegon the conquerer and his sisterwives visenya & rhaenys; then theres the burning of harrenhall; House Tully, Arryn and Stark bending the knee; we then see King Maegor the cruel (Aegons 2nd son) dead on the Throne; Jahaerys' the Conciliators rule and the great Council of 101; the schism between the green and the blacks and lastly the start of the Dance of Dragons. Hope this helped clear things up for yall!
Alfred having not seen battle is not a repudiation of his point that women, especially in this setting, have no practical training or experience with war. He may not have been in war yet, but as a knight his entire childhood was dedicated to its study. It’s like saying “just because you went to West Point, you don’t know more than me about war”
You forgot the mention how Rhaenyra sent the Lord to go and see Daemon to find out what his true intentions are. We are also in for another grand episode that will be the finale, cant wait.
the blacksmith being blonde is suspect too, might be one of the bastards too + the Hull brothers we could have introduced 4 possible riders already (just guessing, don't have spoiler knowledge)
Rhaena Targaryen (Baela's sister) who was entrusted with her half brothers Viserys II and Aegon III and Joffrey Velaryon travelled with 2 baby dragons and 4 dragon eggs to Lady Jeyne Arryn's, the Eyrie. A side note: Catelyn Stark's sister on GoT who was pushed by Little Finger through the moon door (hundreds of years later) was married to Jon Arryn so he would be descended from Lady Jeyne or if not directly descended, definitely an ancestor.
he also never prepared and taught rhaenyra to rule... he had her in on the council meetings as a cup bearer and thats the extent of her experience. he doomed them all from the start
Aemond not leaning on others is actually going to be his downfall... locking the people in was the wrong decision... and Alicent knew it. He does need a hand, there's always value in multiple perspectives...
Alicent is the one that closes the gates in the books. Shes dumb as a door. But the show is gonna try and make her the smart one after she literally started all this war with her father and now tries to blame it on everyone else but herself lol house of wokeness
1:28 They haven't added the events of episode 4 to the tapestry yet. The castle on fire and the dragons falling from the sky are from the volcanic cataclysm known as The Doom of Valyria.
It is thought (don't think it has officially been confirmed in the lore) that the original Valyrian dragons like Balerion the black dread were hatched using blood magic and thus would grow much faster. The Targaryen' didn't have access to this magic after the doom of Valyria and their conquest of Westeros and as a result each subsequent generation of dragon grows slower and reached a smaller maximum size. It could also be possible that forces are impeding the dragon's growth from the shadows. Dany's dragons in GoT were hatched using a blood magic ritual and they did grow significantly faster as a result.
The Dragonseeds tied back to when Viserys said "The idea of only true Targaryen controls dragons is just an illusion." Jace was right about Valyrian history being written to glorified House Targaryen as the only dragonlords when in fact the Valyrian bloodline also runs within other houses/bastards. The Targaryen's incestual nature is part of gatekeeping controls of the dragons as only legitimize Targaryen's princes/princess are given dragon's eggs to place in their cradles, allowing them to learned and bond or claim dragons. Rhaenyra was also right about this plan being a mad thought because if other houses can also have dragons, the illusion of Targaryen being special and closer to gods would be gone. Therefore, the idea that only true Targaryen can sit the Iron Throne also lost in time.
You really twisted Viserys' words there to fit your argument. He never alluded to anything even remotely related to the blood required to control dragons. These are his exact words: "The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion."
About Aegon, there's the armor, yes, but additionally the Targaryens have a CERTAIN level of fire resistance. They're not impervious to it, but even despite that resistance Aegon was a mess!
9:51 its known that dragons grow way faster bigger and older when they are in the wild containing them in dragon pits causes them to not grow as big. this is why the biggest dragons except for vhagar and vermithor are the unclaimed wild ones like cannibal (the one who eats other dragons) sheepstealer (the one who steals sheep i guess?) and grey ghost. its also though that the cannibal is older than balerion the black dread it is said that cannibal made westeros its home before the first targaryens came.
Dragons are not just to battle your enemies. They also reinforce someone's rule. If dragons are weakened in the eyes of the public, so is royalty's hold on the public.
Daemon DID screw himself over, but not in the way you think. Recall last episode, and the conditions on which Willem Blackwood swore his army to Daemon... the END of House Bracken. This episode, he tries to ally them to his cause, while Willem watches, no less, and when they refuse, he doesn't even follow through on his threat of dragonfire. Why should the Blackwoods follow Daemon when they've seen him dishonour two deals in a single decision? The moment Daemon said that there were some things "the crown must not be seen to do", Willem Blackwood had his plan well in mind, make sure the crown was seen doing what it ought not to be, and if the Blackwood HAPPEN to subdue House Bracken in the process... all the better.
It's also just a blatantly smart move on Blackwood's part- doing all that not under the queen's banner leaves Rhaenyra or Daemon open to deny they'd ordered it later. Daemon forgets that most of these lords are just as smart as he is and aren't going to just agree to let themselves be thrown under the bus.
Not sure if this plays a part, and if it’s a spoiler for the story don’t tell me, but I wonder if the council just insisted on Aemond being the temporary king because they knew what he did to Aegon and they were afraid he may not spare his mother the same type of fate to get what he wants.
Dragons who are left to roam instead of being in the pits underground tend to grow at a faster rate, now if there are different types then I don’t know
Aemond cutting off rat catcher was mistake now people will not fear crown and he close gates when people are already starving because of Rhaneyra's blockade
There was a couple of things that I have decided would be hills to die on in this episode. The first being that I don't believe all of his armor was fused to him by fire. I think the male that he had on underneath melted to his skin. But the stuff on top that they said was valerian steel made him bleed because it embedded itself probably all the way to the bone when he landed. And the other one... Which is borderline woke content and I hate it but it remained bearable.... Was the council member talking about women not having much experience in planning for battle. She countered with he Having seen just as many battles as she has....Zero. But later in the episode she proves his point and agrees with him. She has not seen any battles and neither has he but I guarantee you he was raised learning how to strategize for battles and learning how to fight. And she admitted that Viserys did none of those things for her. And that would be the norm worldwide for women. It wasn't insulting to say that she's a woman so she can't plan battle. He was speaking the exact truth.
In season 1, there was a scene in the children fighting pit, the camera panned to this " targaryen " looking kid. Have no idea if that will come into play.
The dude from the bar a couple episodes ago, and Hugh…the bigger guy with the deathly sick child and wife. We’ve been introduced to them for a reason too. Take a look at his hair. Both Hugh and the bar dude both have long white/grayish hair….and there are the 2 unclaimed dragons, Vermithor and Silverwing I’m calling it, they’re gonna be claimed by Bar Dude and Hugh. 😂🐉🫵🏼🍺🤷🏻♂️🕸️🕳️🤣
Can't believe you guys still didn't react to Kingdom of Heaven (2005), this is an absolute masterpiece and you SHOULD react it at any cost ! Please, how can we send our propositions films guys ?
1:15 The dragons on fire are depicting the doom of Valyria. Valyria is the homeland of the Targaryens, it was destroyed by a huge volcano eruption, some suspect there was sorcery involved, anyway, not gonna get to far into the lore, just wanted to let you know what it was basically. 1:28 the three dragons flying is portraying Aegon the Conqueror and his sisters Rhaenys and Visenya. He conquered Westeros with their three dragons, he basically started the Targaryen reign over the realm. He created the targaryen sigil and forged the iron throne with dragonfire, his story is pretty interesting. There is an animated video on youtube called "Conquests and Rebellions" that shows you his story if you want to know more about him. Its really interesting, you could do a reaction video on it. Theyre currently working on producing a new show based on Aegon the Conqueror. Fun fact, the big dragon Vhagar that Aemond one eye is riding in this show was Visenya, Aegons sisters dragon.

Logically, it made no sense he would suddenly change his mind after adamantly declaring Rhaenyra for years but she blindly ignored that because it didn't suit her own ambitions. And she ignored it again when she found out she misunderstood Viserys' dying words. It was nice to see her finally feel the effects and consequences of everything she caused out of spite.
The problem with your claim that usurping Rhaenyra was never about her being a woman ignores that it relies completely on Rhaenyra being a woman to work. If Rhaenyra was Viserys' firstborn son, there would be no chance for Aegon to be on the throne (whether or not Alicent feared for her sons from their half-brother) Alicent took advantage of Westeros' widespread misogyny as the mechanism to usurp Rhaenyra and set her aside for a man despite her being Viserys' chosen heir, and now Alicent herself is being set aside for a man despite otherwise being the best & obvious choice for Regent.
15:43 Alicent really thought she'd usurp Rhaenyra and they'd raise her up too lmaoooo
Half of Daemon's screen time has been him tripping balls at a leaky AirBnB.
Where did Jace got all this sass. I like it 😆
@DeanLance-v4bhis father did too, remember Aegon’s name day hunt? His smirks and grins. 😅also raised by Laenor and Daemon. ❤
His bio Dad was nicknamed "Break Bones". 😂
@DeanLance-v4b I have to agree but who does Aemond take after with his saucy attitude lol
@DeanLance-v4b completely agree!
@DeanLance-v4b He also has "2nd son syndrome". But the stark difference between Aemond and Daemon, is that Daemon legitimately loved Viserys despite everything. Aemond doesn't give a shit about Aegon.
3:09 i saw that pointed out so I'll say it here, aemond being framed as so much taller than alicent as if her kids and their actions have outgrown her controle or influence
That's a good catch. After watching that scene a few times it didn't register with me. Now it takes on a whole new meaning!
12:10 Duck and Goose were what Lanor and Rhanera used as euphemisms for being Gay or Straight.
what does that euphemism have to do with this scene?
@@rexibhazoboa7097 It's a call back?
@@PacificEgg I think he was just eating goose at that point. It’s too vague and unnecessary to be a call back.
27:53 "Mummy" 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Eh, the girl who opened the door to Mysaria's spy was the young girl Aegon raped in Season 1. I like that her inclusion reminds us not to get too sympathetic for him.
aww poor rapist and murderer so sad
Jace himself is proof that “half bloods” CAN ride dragons, he’s a Strong!
I mean, all Alicent's kids are also half-bloods from their Hightower side
Damn. That scene between Corlys and Baela was like the best scene this episode. Editor should have kept the whole thing in the edit.
The whole point of trying to put Aegon on the throne was because he's the first son. Why would Alicent expect support when an immediate male successor is there. She's the Queen Dowager, Criston's position is higher than hers now. She has no control. Aegon was the only one who really listened to her and he's down for now.
****all the "small folk " that we've been introduced to will come into play at some point. They haven't been showing us random people for no reason.
Yasssssssss. Baela was a BOSS in that scene!!!!
Yea it was strange they didn't have a bigger reaction to that scene
@@believeume122 maybe they though it wasnt that interesting.
@@rexibhazoboa7097hence the “strange” comment.
Not to mention the editors also cut the "I thought Dragons were gods" scene
I think a significant detail you might have missed in this ep, is that Daemond told the Blackwoods "there are some things the crown can't be seen doing" so while he did tell them to hurt the Brackens he told them to do it in secret (aka using the Blackwood vs. Bracken feud as an excuse, to weaken the Brackens so they'd be more likely to bend the knee or maybe so he could come in as a hero with a reconciliation/saving them later, not entirely sure on his thought process for how this would work tbh), but instead the Blackwoods flew the Targeryan Banner while committing the atrocities outing the fact that it was a royal order to do this. This is why, Daemon can be seen panicking when they mention the flag because he knows he messed up, he just made yet another enemy for him and Rhaenyra and weakened both their claims because now their name is linked to this horrible act, when what he intended was to keep both their names "clean" and make it seem like it was just the Blackwoods independently attacking the Brackens.
Ya'll Missed when Aegon said "Mommy" at the end there.....
ALso ....Ulf, Hugh, Addam and Allyn are all part of the lines. Hence they Introduced them to us earlier in the season....
The thinking is that you don't necessarily have to be of noble blood, but descended from the people of Valyria. The dragonriders are supposedly bonded to their dragons through some kind of Valyrian blood magic. If the Vakyrian blood is "thin" (aka the potential rider is the descendant of a branch of the family that married other families for a couple of generations before marrying back into a Valyrian line) then the dragons won't accept the rider. This is why the Velaryons and the Targaryens intermarried between their families so much (and why Corlys was so pissed when Viserys chose Alicent over Laena), and why the Targaryens marry their own siblings and cousins as often as they do. "Thinning out" their Valyrian blood too much would mean that they were less likely to be able to tame and claim a dragon.
(Putting eggs in the cradles to bond with the kids from birth came later; when Rhaenyra's first son was born, Viserys decreed he should have a "cradle egg" as a subtle way of proving that the boy was true Valyrian blood and put an end to the rumors he was a bastard. When Aegon and Helaena's kids were born, he couldn't admit he had only given cradle eggs to prove Rhaenyra's kids weren't bastards, so eggs were given to Helaena's children as well, and later to Rhaenyra's 2 sons by Daemon.)
We will see going forward just how much Valyrian blood, if any, you really have to have in order to claim an adult dragon.
She forgot that Rhaeryna wasn't wanted because she was Female and Aegon was the first Male. They wouldn't Put a Female on throne now whats the point was this whole war if they do
She's so delusional
9:40 I didn't catch it, but in another video someone pointed out that this was likely the moment Rhaena learned her grandmother was gone. Ruthless way to break the news, Lady Jayne
I gotta say, in the most petty way possible, I'm really enjoying seeing Alicent "I didn't think Leopards would eat MY face" Hightower lose power.
I saw on Reel-Time's channel that they referred to Aegon being injured and burned as "cooked egg" 💀😂
The actor also referred to him as “Aegon Toast” 💀
@@hali_55 LOL
The silent sister's when they show up it always gives an eerie vibe! And showing the dragons head was so wrong. And if this sticks to the books it's going to get bad!
Two reaction things I found funny about this episode :
05:00 : When they put that bone back, seeing it did not trigger everyone but the sound of it definitely finished the job. I know that's what happened with me. The view did nothing except "Damn, that's looking bad." but the cracking bit right after, jeez.
And the "favorite son" moment is hilarious because it seems it finally drew a line in the acceptance of incest for the Thrones universe : brother/sister : cool, aunt/nephew : cool, uncle/niece : cool, mother/son : HELL NOPE. 🤣😂
Time for the Bastard drafts Lol.
😂😂 BEST comment for this episode!
The storyline involving Daemon and Alys Rivers, particularly the supernatural elements at Harrenhal, is both intriguing and well-executed. As a reader of the books, I find the portrayal of Alys Rivers by the actress to be exceptional. Her ability to hold her own alongside Matt Smith is impressive, and her performance effectively conveys the character's mysterious motivations and ambitions. This nuanced portrayal adds depth to the character, enhancing the overall narrative of the show.
Nothing gave me more pleasure this episode than watching Alicent losing her last bit of power. Now maybe she understands what her family has done to Rhaenyra. I do like the Rhaenyra and Mysaria team up and Baela and Jace really stepped up this episode. A satisfying episode and I can't wait for next week!
Yeah all those years of freezing out Rhaenyra from the small council, her father and her home. Karma came down hard
Alicent when the patriarchal system doesn't want to work with her (even though she knew she was just a pawn controlled by other men who benefited from the system): 😲
@@aj897 I mean, they put Aegon on the throne because they didn't want a woman as queen. That took away Rhaenyra's power. Also, when Alicent and Otto ruled while Viserys was ill and they were about to take away Rhaenyra's son's birthright to Driftmark. Viserys had to step in to help his daughter. Don't come at me with insults when I've been watching the same fucking show as you sugar. Have a nice day.
@@aj897 Rhaenyra has always had *confidence in her right to power* . That's very different than actually having power. (edit:) lmao delusional.
it’s so funny watching people act like alicent isn’t a victim too lol, she was literally groomed from childhood by her own father and the only reason she wanted her son on the throne is bc he told her that her sons would be killed by her at the age of 18 years old, and she truly thought up until episode 3 that it was viserys’ last wish. she is not the evil villain yall want her to be
It was a good episode, aftermath really. Corlys, Jace, Aemond, Baela and Alys were absolutely incredible. It was a breather (calm) before another storm arises, I’m excited for Valerian Bastards to claim dragons. Episode 7 and 8 will definitely be spectacular.
Wrong play by Cole. People view Dragons as godly, indestructible. By parading Meleys' head, they are telling people Dragons can be slayed.
Dragons tend to grow differently depending on how free they are, which is why drogon was much larger than his brothers in Game of Thrones despite being the same age. The dragons brought to the vale are very young though, they will take years to grow, making them pretty useless.
You guys we're talking, when Aegon said mommy, I don't know if you caught that.?
Ikr they're always talking Mason and the Answer never stop talking unlike The Oak who is always calm and listening
@AegonTc6 no your right. I've noticed that, too. I like reactions vids and certain channels that do the talking about the episode at the end after they've watched it.!
@@AegonTc6 fr Oak really has a good sense of commentary timing. Mason and Answer sometimes really talk over lots of things.
no one cares about that rapist
Sucks for Aegon but the greens need a guy like Aemond in charge.
Aegon has his own surgical team Lol.
Physicians have been using external fixators on fractures for over 2000 years, first described by Hippocrates. Y'all got me curious and I had to look it up (I'm retired from the operating room and have experience with them but know nothing about the background). I was stunned.
I wish Alicent would talk to her brother that was there and get the real story. I hope they have guards near Aegon so Aedmond won’t finish it off before he speaks if he ever wakes.
I hope they get more dragon riders on the black side and fight back asap.
Great reaction can’t wait for the next episode ♥️
I've been waiting for this one fellas! Awesome reactions!! :)
Oak & Answer turning away & Quinn's cute scrunch up of the face at 4:54 I love how you all have your own special way of reacting to stuff hehe, "Grandsire" is a great sounding word! & yay! for another "M'Lady" reaction ^.^ Losing Rhaenys & King Aegon being scorched has made such a powerful impact across Kingdoms. If looks could kill with that dagger stare Alicent had when Aemond was named successor 😮 "taking his ball to the head of the table" ☝️ Daemon getting more more disturbed by his visions & was a moving scene with Corlys & Rhaena. "Wolf hour" sounds likes a fancy word for "Midnight hour" lol **howls** 🐺
it would be hypocritical for team green to appoint Alicent as the regent after all this time. the whole reason this war is happening is because they denied Rhaenyra, a woman, the right to rule, despite the fact that Viserys cemented her as his chosen heir, and that is something that we, the audience, no beyond a doubt. Alicent is one of the most qualified people to take up the role, but she dug herself into this hole by reinforcing the precedent of denying women the right to rule.
she made her bed, now she has to lay in it.
here's my analysis of the Intro: The tapestry is the Story of House Targaryen and Valyria. The Backstabbing Image might be the ancient valyrian ritual that bonded them to the dragons; then there is Daenys the dreamer foreseeing the Doom of Valyria which is depicted as the burning city with the volcanoes erupting and dragons falling from the sky; the three dragons and their riders are aegon the conquerer and his sisterwives visenya & rhaenys; then theres the burning of harrenhall; House Tully, Arryn and Stark bending the knee; we then see King Maegor the cruel (Aegons 2nd son) dead on the Throne; Jahaerys' the Conciliators rule and the great Council of 101; the schism between the green and the blacks and lastly the start of the Dance of Dragons.
Hope this helped clear things up for yall!
Bros befo… 🤣🤣🤣🤣
CONGRATULATIONS for 300k subscribers 🎉
Alfred having not seen battle is not a repudiation of his point that women, especially in this setting, have no practical training or experience with war. He may not have been in war yet, but as a knight his entire childhood was dedicated to its study. It’s like saying “just because you went to West Point, you don’t know more than me about war”
Alicent thought she was the exception! She has now realized they her like any other woman and she is not special.
I still want an Answer GoT reaction!
His mind will be blown
You forgot the mention how Rhaenyra sent the Lord to go and see Daemon to find out what his true intentions are. We are also in for another grand episode that will be the finale, cant wait.
so heartbreaking when aegon says "mummy"
Maybe Alicent would be more sympathetic to Aegon now, now that he’s incapacitated, her climb to power has gone with it.
300K subscribers! Way to go, gentlemen!🎉
Congrats guys on 300K 🎉 please react to "3 DECADES OF SRK - The legend of Indian Cinema"
Hey guys, just an FYI, the intro hasn't changed since episode 3.
Fun Fact: Harrenhal is were Brienne Fought the Bear🐻 after Lock cut off Jamie's Hand in Game of Thrones 💡👍
the blacksmith being blonde is suspect too, might be one of the bastards too + the Hull brothers we could have introduced 4 possible riders already (just guessing, don't have spoiler knowledge)
Rhaena Targaryen (Baela's sister) who was entrusted with her half brothers Viserys II and Aegon III and Joffrey Velaryon travelled with 2 baby dragons and 4 dragon eggs to Lady Jeyne Arryn's, the Eyrie. A side note: Catelyn Stark's sister on GoT who was pushed by Little Finger through the moon door (hundreds of years later) was married to Jon Arryn so he would be descended from Lady Jeyne or if not directly descended, definitely an ancestor.
Lovin the season so far, great reaction guys!
Viserys Never taught Aegon how to be a leader because he was never intended to be the successor which was Rhaenyra.
and he only began to show interest in her after the guilt of gutting Aemma so he wasn't a good dad for Rhaenyra the first 15yrs of her life
he also never prepared and taught rhaenyra to rule... he had her in on the council meetings as a cup bearer and thats the extent of her experience. he doomed them all from the start
Ironically rhaenyra is just as incompetent
@@aj897i don't think anyone ever praised him? At least I haven't ever seen someone say it.
@@TitusJudah oh a lot of people praise him as a king
Ooh. You should watch AMC's Interview with the Vampire. It's so good!!
I just blinked.
“Rhaenys” 🗣️”Ray-Niece”
Aemond not leaning on others is actually going to be his downfall... locking the people in was the wrong decision... and Alicent knew it. He does need a hand, there's always value in multiple perspectives...
Alicent is the one that closes the gates in the books. Shes dumb as a door. But the show is gonna try and make her the smart one after she literally started all this war with her father and now tries to blame it on everyone else but herself lol house of wokeness
@@softrivius5369 I see. I haven't read the books so I have to go on is the show
There’s a reason why there’s so much more focus on the people’s suffering in this series than GOT.
Idk why but hearing Aegon say, Mommy, made me sad.
The direction in this episode was excellent
This season is being soooo incredible. I'm dying to see what comes next (haven't read the books, so, no spoiler pls).
Can't wait to see the Bronze Fury in action!
Also the first three dragons in the opening is BALERION MEREXES AND VHAGAR. Aegon the conquerors Rhaena MEREXES rider and visenya Vhagars.
1:28 They haven't added the events of episode 4 to the tapestry yet. The castle on fire and the dragons falling from the sky are from the volcanic cataclysm known as The Doom of Valyria.
The chess board is being set after witnessing what dragons can really do. The next 3 episodes going to be fire. Quite literally I feel like.
Oak is right about the “show them your worst”
You called Aemond “king”, he’s just a regent/lord protector while Aegon is alive.
It is thought (don't think it has officially been confirmed in the lore) that the original Valyrian dragons like Balerion the black dread were hatched using blood magic and thus would grow much faster. The Targaryen' didn't have access to this magic after the doom of Valyria and their conquest of Westeros and as a result each subsequent generation of dragon grows slower and reached a smaller maximum size. It could also be possible that forces are impeding the dragon's growth from the shadows. Dany's dragons in GoT were hatched using a blood magic ritual and they did grow significantly faster as a result.
The Dragonseeds tied back to when Viserys said "The idea of only true Targaryen controls dragons is just an illusion." Jace was right about Valyrian history being written to glorified House Targaryen as the only dragonlords when in fact the Valyrian bloodline also runs within other houses/bastards. The Targaryen's incestual nature is part of gatekeeping controls of the dragons as only legitimize Targaryen's princes/princess are given dragon's eggs to place in their cradles, allowing them to learned and bond or claim dragons.
Rhaenyra was also right about this plan being a mad thought because if other houses can also have dragons, the illusion of Targaryen being special and closer to gods would be gone. Therefore, the idea that only true Targaryen can sit the Iron Throne also lost in time.
You really twisted Viserys' words there to fit your argument. He never alluded to anything even remotely related to the blood required to control dragons. These are his exact words: "The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion."
When I hear "Regent" my mind goes to Hugh Laurie as the Prince Regent in Black Adder.😄
This episode was a roller coaster
Corlys son who works at the docks …
About Aegon, there's the armor, yes, but additionally the Targaryens have a CERTAIN level of fire resistance. They're not impervious to it, but even despite that resistance Aegon was a mess!
Hour of the Wolf would be the proper way to say it xD they also have different times like Hour of Bat, Owl etc. Wolf is the blackest part of night.
9:51 its known that dragons grow way faster bigger and older when they are in the wild containing them in dragon pits causes them to not grow as big. this is why the biggest dragons except for vhagar and vermithor are the unclaimed wild ones like cannibal (the one who eats other dragons) sheepstealer (the one who steals sheep i guess?) and grey ghost. its also though that the cannibal is older than balerion the black dread it is said that cannibal made westeros its home before the first targaryens came.
Dragons are not just to battle your enemies. They also reinforce someone's rule. If dragons are weakened in the eyes of the public, so is royalty's hold on the public.
Daemon DID screw himself over, but not in the way you think. Recall last episode, and the conditions on which Willem Blackwood swore his army to Daemon... the END of House Bracken. This episode, he tries to ally them to his cause, while Willem watches, no less, and when they refuse, he doesn't even follow through on his threat of dragonfire. Why should the Blackwoods follow Daemon when they've seen him dishonour two deals in a single decision? The moment Daemon said that there were some things "the crown must not be seen to do", Willem Blackwood had his plan well in mind, make sure the crown was seen doing what it ought not to be, and if the Blackwood HAPPEN to subdue House Bracken in the process... all the better.
It's also just a blatantly smart move on Blackwood's part- doing all that not under the queen's banner leaves Rhaenyra or Daemon open to deny they'd ordered it later. Daemon forgets that most of these lords are just as smart as he is and aren't going to just agree to let themselves be thrown under the bus.
Not sure if this plays a part, and if it’s a spoiler for the story don’t tell me, but I wonder if the council just insisted on Aemond being the temporary king because they knew what he did to Aegon and they were afraid he may not spare his mother the same type of fate to get what he wants.
Dragons who are left to roam instead of being in the pits underground tend to grow at a faster rate, now if there are different types then I don’t know
Can you react to "Labyrinth (1986)"? I LOVE that movie! David Bowie is in it. He's songs there is wonderful! 😍💖
Aemond cutting off rat catcher was mistake now people will not fear crown and he close gates when people are already starving because of Rhaneyra's blockade
There was a couple of things that I have decided would be hills to die on in this episode. The first being that I don't believe all of his armor was fused to him by fire. I think the male that he had on underneath melted to his skin. But the stuff on top that they said was valerian steel made him bleed because it embedded itself probably all the way to the bone when he landed.
And the other one... Which is borderline woke content and I hate it but it remained bearable.... Was the council member talking about women not having much experience in planning for battle. She countered with he Having seen just as many battles as she has....Zero. But later in the episode she proves his point and agrees with him. She has not seen any battles and neither has he but I guarantee you he was raised learning how to strategize for battles and learning how to fight. And she admitted that Viserys did none of those things for her. And that would be the norm worldwide for women. It wasn't insulting to say that she's a woman so she can't plan battle. He was speaking the exact truth.
i think i see oak go from pink to white and then green at 5mins in lol
In season 1, there was a scene in the children fighting pit, the camera panned to this " targaryen " looking kid. Have no idea if that will come into play.
The dude from the bar a couple episodes ago, and Hugh…the bigger guy with the deathly sick child and wife. We’ve been introduced to them for a reason too. Take a look at his hair. Both Hugh and the bar dude both have long white/grayish hair….and there are the 2 unclaimed dragons, Vermithor and Silverwing I’m calling it, they’re gonna be claimed by Bar Dude and Hugh. 😂🐉🫵🏼🍺🤷🏻♂️🕸️🕳️🤣
Can't believe you guys still didn't react to Kingdom of Heaven (2005), this is an absolute masterpiece and you SHOULD react it at any cost ! Please, how can we send our propositions films guys ?
1:15 The dragons on fire are depicting the doom of Valyria. Valyria is the homeland of the Targaryens, it was destroyed by a huge volcano eruption, some suspect there was sorcery involved, anyway, not gonna get to far into the lore, just wanted to let you know what it was basically.
1:28 the three dragons flying is portraying Aegon the Conqueror and his sisters Rhaenys and Visenya. He conquered Westeros with their three dragons, he basically started the Targaryen reign over the realm. He created the targaryen sigil and forged the iron throne with dragonfire, his story is pretty interesting.
There is an animated video on youtube called "Conquests and Rebellions" that shows you his story if you want to know more about him.
Its really interesting, you could do a reaction video on it.
Theyre currently working on producing a new show based on Aegon the Conqueror.
Fun fact, the big dragon Vhagar that Aemond one eye is riding in this show was Visenya, Aegons sisters dragon.
Not “all hail the king” Aemond is only regent and protector of the realm.
I just saw Garp over there...hehe
I love how literally every comment you made during the intro was not the correct assumption 😂
Alicent gave her feet an ass up an ant get nothing back fa it rather have her mad at you then the greatest power in the realm
As far as medical practices in older times go...they would most likely have amputated Aegons' leg.
Just a friendly reminder that his is a fictional world. While it takes inspiration from the real world, it does not have to follow any of its facts. That's what fiction means.
@@earth2saka H.mm. Fiction. Ask anyone that has sufferd a broken leg about how real it felt. Of course it's fiction. No one would survive that level of injury in reality. Buit thanks for you insight CAPTAIN OBVIOUS.
