      Hugh’s mother wasn’t a Targaryen bastard, she was Saera Targaryen, she was banished by jaehaerys for sleeping around too much and being rebellious. That’s why his mom would tell him, he is no different than Baelons kids. I doubt she would say that if she was a bastard too. I think that’s also why Hugh walks and moves so regal and Stoic. She probably raised him to stand tall as viserys or daemon would. 😊

      It is interesting how on the surface it looked like that. Daemon caught on fast what was actually going on, it was all about sheeple herding and recognizing what was needed to be done to attain his final goal. What did the “little theater“ cost Daemon, nothing. If anything he saw it as enhancing the fear factor which historically he would be happy about.

    I don't think Ulf broke an egg [they are almost stone-like and need super amounts of consistent heat just to incubate them]. I think he stood on an incubating egg sac instead; also we can see intact eggs inside the egg sac. Furthermore, we see the effort Daemon went to to break an egg sac in a cave to procure dragon eggs in season 1.

    I really liked how this episode emphasized how the dragons have agency and aren't just beasts "controlled" by their riders which is something Viserys alluded to in season 1 when talking to Raenyra. Addam being Laenor's brother it makes sense why Seasmoke would seek him out & choose him since genetically he's so similar.

There's no mention of Hugh bring from Lys, but surely a Targaryan working in a brothel, who had close knowledge of her brothers is a pretty big finger point to Saera. That's where my brain went anyway.

    In my opinion when Alicent says that "this place is not clean" she is referring to how corrupt and full of sin the red keep is. Her floating in the river in white maybe a nod to a GOT version of being baptised - her way of washing away her sins and being "clean" again.

      @@trevorlangdon yes. But due to the fact that they are also from old Valyrian ancestry, when the Targaryen took the throne and had to look for marriages if there were not enough Targaryen women in the direct line to marry all of the males. Or if there were too many females which has intermingled dragon riding blood in the descendants of the driftwood throne by the time of the dance. Alyssa Velaryon was married to aenys I and the only reason that maegor couldn’t wipe out the rest of the targaryens, as she hid the future king from his reach. Also stealing blackfyre from him when she left the keep in the night. Driftmark were Targaryen vassals and they would’ve rather married their kin off to house Velaryon as the blood of old Valyria, even if they were seafarers and not dragon lords, because they were seen as elevated status wise from all other houses in Westeros that was not blood of old Valyria. so well without the Targaryen marriages into house Velaryon (pretty much right after the conquest, aenys I married Alyssa Velaryon , who hid the young child that would one day become king jaehaerys,) so they are known for intermarrying specifically to that house to keep the blood of Valyria strong and to keep the precedence set that even seafarers with the blood of old Valyria was better than other lords. This didn’t change until right around the dance.

    I actually think Hugh's mother was Saera Targaryen, one of King Jaehaerys' daughters. Hugh doesn't refer to his mother being a bastard but rather that she referred to Baelon as her brother and she was familiar enough with Viserys & Daemon to make the comparison.

    @27:13 I disagree I think this was a sanctioned flight because the dragon is wearing a saddle. Prior to Ulf, she had been without a rider for ages. I doubt she had a saddle on that whole time.
    I think that after she and Ulf matched up, Rhaenyra or maybe one of the dragon keepers (they could have come back, maybe) put a saddle on the dragon so that he could safely ride her.
    Silverwing had been without a rider for years and I don't see a dragon having a saddle on her back for years without a rider.
    Also I think the flight was sanctioned because Rhaenyra wanted to send a message.

      @@samanthahewitt2507 I read it similar. I interpreted it as intentional flight to go to KL and show they had more dragons. Likely they also thought if Aemond follows on his dragon we may be able to lure him back and defeat him with our three. He was smart enough to back off though. It was a win win situation for them as they saw it. Best case scenario is Aemond follows and they manage to gang up and kill Vhagar then war basically over. If that doesn't happen then they at least show the Green's their new arsenal. As shown, whispers get back so unlikely they can keep the new dragon riders as secret so might as well show their new might.

    I am not so sure that UIlf's ride was "unsanctioned". Another reviewer suggested it was a trap -- draw Vhagar out and have him fly to Dragonstone, where Vermithor, Sea Smoke and Silverwing can triple team him. It also looked like UIlf got some very rudimentary dragon riding training. Now it is taking a chance that Vhagar catches up before he reaches Dragonstone, but if you are going to take a chance that you lose one in the gamble, Silverwing and Uilf are the logical candidates.
