Syrax screaming when Rhaenyra found Luc's remains was not only her feeling Rhaenyra's pain but an expression of her own pain as she was mother of Luc's dragon Arrax. Two mothers mourning together.
After Blood and Cheese, rat catchers in the Red Keep were replaced with cats. That's why Arya had so many cats to catch when training with Syrio Forel.
In the book, Aegon and Helaena had actually three children. Two sons and one daughter. Cheese threatened Helaena that he'll sexually assault her daughter if she does not choose, so she chooses the youngest one, Maelor, hoping he's too young to understand. But they kill Jahaerys instead. So, ever since, Maelor has to live with the fact that his mother chose him to die over his brother.
If she doesn't pick then everyone dies. And to think the kids are awake during that scene is horrific
Keep in mind those info were written a century ago and so after the facts. So this show shows us what really happened.
yes and they got a hold of the 2 sons ..... it would down completely different in the books...
@@cobra8888It doesn’t really show us what really happened. It’s the directors reimagining of the book. Which is fine btw but it’s not the same exact story. There are differences in the show and the book just like in GOT.
Anyways I’m sure the retelling of the incident came from the stories of Helaena herself so it’s not completely unreliable.
*“You hear that little boy”* Cheese whispered to Maelor *“Your mama wants you dead”*
Good reaction. No one questioned the killers because one of them works there as the rat catcher. He is literally part of the Red Keep's staff. The dog is part of the cover, as IRL dogs, especially terriers, were/ are used in this role. I'm pretty sure your pup Lemon would be great at it!
The reason why they weren't stopped is because Cheese had been working as a Rat Catcher in the Red Keep for years. He knew the various secret passages in the castle better than anybody else, so he was able to both get them into the castle and get them to the Royal Apartments using them.
There were several reasons why it was so quiet and empty: It was the middle of the night, Cheese had already bypassed most of the guards using the secret passages, Larys had killed some of the servants when rooting out spies, the Kings Guard was only at half capacity (3 of them are with the blacks, 1 in the cells) and Cole was with Alicent.
5:43 Heleana has so called dragon dreams. Deanys "the dreamer" had this dreams years before the downfall of Valyria. Thats why the Targaryans went to Dragonstone in the first place and so they survived the outbreak of the 14 flames. Heleana had this dreams also with Aemonds eye and the dragon under the dragonpit
Daemon disobeyed rhaenyra and ordered thecdeath of a child, ehen cheese asked "what uf we can't find him?" Daemon smirked, that's where he told them "a son for a son", jaehaerys was the plan B.
By this act, Rhaenyra clsim was weakened and Aegon Now will declare war and will seek vengeance , Hell will let lose.
0:55 HOD Opening: The tapestry of Targaryen history.
Ancient valyrians practicing magic
Daenys dream of the fall
The fall of Valyria
Aegon and his sisters flying over Westeros
Harren the black
Conquest of Harrenhal and the Field of Fire
The North, The Riverlands and The Eyrie bending the knee without a fight
House Targaryen established as the Rulers of Westeros
The construction of the Red Keep
The death of Maegor the Cruel
King Jahaerys the Conciliator and Queen Alysanne
Old King Jahaerys at the Great Council of Harrenhal (Viserys I nomination to the Iron Throrne)
The court of Viserys I split between Alicent and Rhaenyra
Aegon II vs Rhaenyra I
Lucerys death.
That opening scene with the Stark theme was so boss!
I had the same question about why it was so easy for the killers to get all the way to the kid's bedroom. Is Criston going to face consequences for the failure of the Kingsguard to protect the royal family? Otto gave Criston and Alicent a side look when they showed up to the meeting like he knew about them.
Otto definitely know about it 🤣
Criston shouldn't face any consequences. It's the writers' fault that Blood & Cheese got away with it so easily, not his.
In the book, the murder occurs in the Tower of the Hand. That's why they are able to get in and out. The show version makes less sense.
Criston Cole facing consequences? that's funny
Cheese is a ratcatcher and knows the secret passage which not everyone is aware of.
"BOOOOOO HYPOCRITE HYPOCRITE" im laughing so HARD 🤣
she is right though, criston is a huge hypocrite. so is alicent tbh
@@JrKengu So is Rhaenyra, and Daemon. But they have MC energy and charisma, so they get a pass.
they brought the dog because rat catchers use dogs for finding rats and so to keep up appearances so they don't get stopped by anyone
6:36 tbf he’s not the only hypocrite in that room
But Also why is it when a female employee sleeps with her boss it’s “He abused his power & She’s a victim” But when a male employee sleeps with his boss who happens to be a queen or princess its “You could of said no”??? Could he really of said no to a actual queen or princess??? If a female is scared to turn down a boss of an company in modern times, Than a employee regardless of gender should be scared of turning down a member of royalty in medieval times
(Edit: I don’t like the guy neither but the double standards is WILD)
Not to mention the punishment for a Kingsguard breaking the vows of chastity is castration and death. If word would got out that he slept with the princess that would be a certain death too. And if he refused the princess' advances he had every reason to expect a similar punishent. We all watched GoT, we all know what happens when you get on the wrong side of a Westerosi noble, and that goes double for Targaryens. Cole was litteraly placed in an impossible situation, where every choice ends badly for him. Because of Rhaenyra's whims, for which she risked no consequences, he risked life and his dick getting chopped in an increadibly painful way and the threat grew larger the longer their affair lasted.
Because Rhaenyra was meant to be a child? What the fuck? Yt comments are such a pit of vileness
Because she was a child? Yt comments are just so digusting
@@jacobite2353 Being a child gives her the right to R word somebody??? Her brother was also a child when he R worded his kids babysitter….There’s literally no difference apart from the genders
Also you saying I’m disgusting simply because I believe in equal rights *For All*
@@mereassassinates550 Jesus fucking Christ, bieng a child, means that Cole raped her. He was the adult, he was responsible. Age takes precedence over employment/political dynamics.
This was a dark premiere. The war is on!
I hate Criston too but this man got to knock down 2 queens🤷🏻♂️🤣😂That last scene was crazy!!The sounds were wild they knew they couldn’t show a kid dying so they were like well make it as bad as possible just like Shireen🫤
If you watch this episode again, you can see in the background the rat catchers in a lot of scenes, going on doing their things while, example, when the council was going on. They pretty much have a free pass everywhere, without anyone asking questions. That's why they had to look like rat catchers, by having the dogs and setting traps.
I live for alyce's hating on sir criston cole - cracks me up everytime 🤣🤣🤣
The dog is a breed of terrier and they were used for catching rats.
That ending tho 😮
This season has been AMAZING so far
Daemon:
Ruthlessly stomps on anyone who gets in his brother's way.
Kills anyone who causes any sort of problem to his brother's rule.
Hears his brother's words, and supports his niece's rule, and does exactly what she wants.
His niece wants to rule.
Daemon stomps anyone that opposes her.
"I want Aemond Targareyan!"
Daemon gives her the blood of those closest to Aemond.
"OMG, Daemon just wants to take over and sideline the women!"
I knew Daemon never wanted to rule from episode one. He just wants to be the guy who neutralizes any threat to his family.
For those halfwits getting angry, "Family" refers to all relatives. Not just the ones you make.
Now Daemon committed a crime as heinous as Aemond's we'll see how Black fandom will react.
All Ive read is a "son for a son, F that kid." on social media. lol
Helena has a sort of prediction of which not if you see who was Dénys Targaryen she left valerya because she had a vision of the land of dragons in destruction 10 years after the prophetic dream to them place
I actually love that Aegon isn't just "Joffrey again" but genuinely wants to be seen as a cool guy whom people like
Poor guy just wants to feel loved (and this likely explains his earlier stints with housemaids and not knowing about consent...)
In other words, Alicent and Viserys were not good parents
woo dragons are back
You just know they put Daemon in the hood knowing full well the reaction it would get!
When they asked “what if we can’t find him?” When Daemon asked blood and cheese to kill Aemond it cut off but I’m pretty sure they were told if you can’t find Aemond just make sure they kill a son. Hence why they chose the child.
"You remember what he said, "A son for a son.""
Yep
Loved your reactions to Jaehaerys in the council scene. Almost every other reactors were too sour and angry and boring lol they see the greens and they can't enjoy even the funny/cool/cute tidbits they may have.
I'm happy for House of the Dragon to be back! And watching with you! Thank you for sharing!
1:55 He wasn't born yet. But if you want to theorize, maybe some other greenseer.
ayyy excited for this reaction!! was such a good start to the season, can't wait for rest of the season! thank you for the reaction!
Yaayyy so glad house of the dragon reactions are back, can't wait for this series and your awesome reactions 😄
"They will fight hard.. Like northerners"... Deffo an underlying theme and cultural nod there to how North England is consider hard poor and cold well the south is Soft and rich.
Maybe that big guy killed the rat-catcher and took the kid with him for a bigger reward.
Doggo got justice tonight 🐶
It's amazing how some people who read the book are going on to write about the differences in detail!!! Do you think these could be SPOILER FOR UPCOMING EPISODES!!!!! Man, some people are frigg'en geniuses!!!!😂
The comments about "blood and cheese" like the show never called anyone "cheese" ever so why are you calling them that
yay couldn't wait for your reaction especially to the end
Love the video Alyska good episode stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
19:24 🤣🤣 best one yet of all the reactors
I am also team black but Helaena Targaryen has always been the only green that I like and off cause the children of Helaena I don't have problems with them yet, I felt so bad for Helaena after she lost her child.
Everytime they showed Rhaenyra it made me so sad, Emma D'Arcy is such a fantastic actor.
Jaehaerys was so cute. Daemon is a piece of shit for telling them to take any son they could find. Already disliked him but now I hate him
Can and will absolutely blame her. She was dumb to not kill them. I know that doesn't happen in the books and that we need them for the story, but now that we have it, we can totally blame her.
the starks are no oath breaker until robb stark😅
How are you liking Fire and Blood? It’s my second favorite book in all of the series, just behind A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which you would absolutely ADORE.
They just announced production on the show for that spinoff which takes place 90 years before GoT.
Love the reactions!
Hi Alyska! I hope you are having an awesome day!
I love your chair!
I read that S2 swaps two events at its end so if you intend to read the book up to the end of the season again, you'll be running into something that will only be in S3 first.
Hi Alyska hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Great episode
Favorite Character in Fire and Blood up to the point you read? Daemon and then Rhaena who was Jaeherys I and Alysanne’s older sister are my favorites. Evan named my cat Daemon.
lol…. I take it back. Kick the dog instead 😂
Team Green! 💚💚💚 Luke's death is Rhaenyra's fault. Dont send a child to play a man's game.
Also the bastard had it coming laughing at the face of a man that is superior to you in every way what a meme that kid
Preach!
I, too, murdered a child last knight.
But it's his parents's fault for letting him be outside all alone at that hour of the night.
(I didn't, it's a metaphor you crazies 😅)
@@happyslapsgiving5421Your example is dumb, Aemond didn't want to kill him he was just trying to scare him and for good reason because that kid was a bully he needed to be taught a lesson like all bullies should. Aemond isn't at fault if that kid wasn't a bully to Aemond his death would have been avoided but he was and like always your actions have consequences.
@@Sold1er_BoyAemond deserved to get his eye cut out, little shit got a dragon and then became the biggest asshole, he instigated that entire fight and then was throughly punished for the way he acted . You can't blatantly disrespect the recently passed loved one of grieving family members and think it's completely impossible you just might get your ass kicked. Aemond is responsible for Lukes death, he may not have wanted to kill him but he still did. It was because of his actions that instigated that entire circumstance. If Aemond didn't go after Lucerys with a fucking dragon, Luke would still be alive .
So I'm well aware I have full control of my content watching bar the algorithms 🤣 but I caught part of your elden ring stream today, now this 😜 and probably going to have a mix of both for the next few weeks. Cause I love HotD but I'm not sure I'm ready for a weekly dose of aly. I think I might get too attached 😜
Alicent and/or Cole sent the guards away so they wouldn’t get caught in her chambers during the hour of the wolf. 😏
That would make sense. I wonder if this will haunt them.
16:38
You get it.
So many people don't understand the lengths Daemon will go to protect and avenge slights against Rhaenyra and his family.
He warned Corlys in season one about talking bad about Viserys. Vaemond decided to yap and and Daemon cut his head off.
Daemon went and sang to Vermithor, largely regarded as the most savage dragon to ever exist, just to get him accustomed to humans again and maybe accept a new rider.
The man was trying to get Rhaenys and Meleys to go with him to kill Vhagar, the largest and oldest living dragon in the world. Rhaenyra wants blood for her son, Daemon asks her if she wants enough to bathe in.
He doesn't care what rhaenyra wants he cares what he wants
@@GJBedrin You're one of the people who don't get it. Rejoice in your mediocrity! You are the perfect example of halfwits that are good only for tilling the soil and will never amount to anything.
@@GJBedrin We can see you liking your own comments.
@@highlander31527 probably just fat fingered it when scrolling
I thought the dismount was solid. Using the wing makes sense. Perhaps I have low standards?
Daemon sure knows how to pick them. What bloody amateurs. They just let Helaena run off while they commit their horrific crime. They only succeeded at their task through dumb luck. They just stumbled across Haleana, and had Cole not been blowing out Alicent's back, he would have been on duty watching Haleana and the children. And their other stroke of luck is that Haelaena is different and doesn't really behave like a normal person would. A normal person would have screamed out as soon as she got away from Blood and Cheese, and the guards would have stopped them before they escaped from the castle. Also, had they actually found Aemond, he would have made quick work of them. He's the best swordsman King's Landing. Not Daemon's best moment.
Rat catchers use dogs to help catch rats
Believe it or not, but the Blood and Cheese attack is actually much worse in the books.
There's only one Fire and blood book mate
we don't care
go read the book then
@@jamien368 reading the book is why people are dissapointed use your brain
😮😮😮😮 i can't wait!!!!!!
Team black
Still team black
Wow ❤
A very good episode was a bit disappointed with the blood and cheese stuff mainly because of the showrunners and actors hyping it up to be the next red wedding moment but I understand why they tone it down and change some things the main annoying scene for me was Helena going to alicent and seeing her and criston Cole banging which felt a bit out of place I would have changed it a bit to had criston Cole outside of alicent room guarding the door and as Helena see him he says "are you okay your grace" and he see the distress look in her eyes and go and check in her bedchamber and then have Helena go to alicent and hug her saying the boy is killed and end the episode with alicent shocked reaction without saying a word like how the episode ends.
Really enjoyed the scene of rhaenyra finding luke clock despite the dismount from her dragon looks a bit rough in terms of cgi and the later scene of her at the war council and saying I want aemond and filmed very similarly to the end of season 1 and another later scene of jace given the report and breaking down into tears. 😔
❤
Hey Come TÜRKİYE... My people like you❤
the wall that ended up meaning nothing at the end of it all. All hail Bran the BROKEN 🤣🤣🤣
Get over it.
Indo 😂
Play a game
Te amo
Aemond didnt murder lucerys. He accidentally killed him.. Or to be precise it was vhagar because arrax attacked her. Aemond was just bullying lucerys back from all the bullying he endured as a kid. + from losing hes eye.
Doesn't matter. Can they prove he didn't murder him? Nope. Besides, aemond shouldn't have been chasing after him with that big ass dragon anyway. Aemond is a moron that really kicked everything off
Team blacks 🖤🖤🖤. Let's goooo
They straight up stole the Wheel of Time intro with all the weaving 😂
Makes sense though, the Valyria model from season 1 was Viserys' so it wouldn't fit as well now that he's gone
I will sayy Alicent like trying to rationalize the she took my son's eye and etc was all very backwards like fam. You stole her throne, killed her son whatt
Wrongs must be redressed, no matter the cost. Luke was never punished for taking Aemond's eye. If he must be killed, so be it. That is justice. Injustice cannot be allowed to exist, and anyone who stands in the way of justice must be likewise punished.
Also, they didn't steal Rhaenyra's throne. Aegon is the rightful heir. As the firstborn son, his claim overrules Rhaenyra's the moment he is born. If Viserys still wanted Rhaenyra as heir, he would need to officially reaffirm her by royal decree and have all the lords reaffirm their oaths. He never did this, so legally, Aegon is heir. Even if that weren't the case, Rhaenyra forfeited her claim by pretending her bastards were legitimate. Trying to place an illegitimate child into the line of succession is high treason, and the punishment for treason is death or exile and the relinquishment of your lands and titles. Viserys let her get away with it, but it's still law.
@@AstaraBrightwing now I know you're lying hahaha death for an eye make that make sense
@@AstaraBrightwing and the illegitimacy of her children doesn't affect her claim at all like what, if you wanna go down the line that Jace shouldn't have a claim yeah totally that makes sense but affecting her claim is wackkkk. Look if you want a grapist on the throne just say it don't try to reach for the skies in your delusions lol
Hello! Happy to see Your content again! Mind letting me know if You want to react to my suggestions in the future? If so let Me know and I will send You some tips.
Team green representative here! 💚💚💚
the loser team....

The team for known psychopaths
💚🔥🐉
Alicent is all to blame for this
Otto more than anybody. He got this ball rolling by trying to steal Queen Rhaenyra throne. Alicent is to blame also. She could have failed her fathers command to seduce the king and non of this would have happened. She also turned her kids against Rhaenyras kids at a young age
Technically Otto forcing her on viserys
@@joeburniston2005 you right pimp daddy Hightower and his ambition is also to blame
rhaenrya trying to put bastards on the throne would also be to blame for this.
Alicent is protecting her children.
Daemon got Justice for Rhaenyra
Least unhinged black supporter:
He killed his brother’s grandson
One of the reasons why they kicked rhaenrya out of kings landing and she got eaten.
That wasn't justice
It's justice, but when Alicent demanded Luke be punished for what he did to Aemond, she was crazy? Ight.
Alicent is the same hypocrite as Crispy.
This was the most disgusting thing in the entire show.
In defense of Criston by the way, which admittedly is often hard to do lol, but Rhaenyra was his princess and he was bound by oath to do as she commanded… thus meaning she kind of r***** him… which also means he was liable to being gelded and tortured due to breaking his oath of chasity and especially with the heir… so I can see why he hates her so much.
I wish the show in season 1 would’ve explained that better instead of just making him out to be a jealous ex, to be honest, because that’s what is so great about the book is that it is so genuinely hard to pick a side. Like I’m Team Green for the most part in the book, but Team Black in the show.
People really aren’t understanding this I see lol Rhaenyra is the best character in the show, but I can acknowledge that she used her position of power to get what she wanted. If that was a male who did that, everyone would be up-in-arms and disgusted (example: almost any male character in the show who likes to fuck, and Harvey Weinstein).
He was bound to her as protector not her sex slave, he had a choice & chose to brake his oath and have sex with her. If he refused her advances what would she have done? Tell the king tshe wants him killed because he wouldn't brake the Kings-guard oath and have sex with her?
Worst take ever Rhaenyra r worded cole are you serious ?
Amazing, every word of what you just said was wrong
She basically Bill Clinton'd him, but nobody sees it that way.
Cole looked really happy right after being r*ped. Funny, he tried to run away with her afterward..... hmm yeah, that wasn't r*pe
it already feels like they F'd off so much from the books that this shows gonna end like GOT.
