If Corlys has any Targaryen blood should be a question soon. Since he has relatives who might claim a dragon. Do you have to have the 'blood of the dragon' from a dragonrider family like the Targs? Or do you just have to be Valyrian?

@@pajamaparty01Only the dragonriders, but there’s been intermarriages between both families since they came to Westeros, the mother of Aegon the Conqueror himself was a Velaryon.

The final dialogue about The song of ice and fire is the profecy that passes from heir to heir, Viserys told the profecy to Rhaenyra when he named her heir to the throne and never told it to neither Daemon (hence why when Rhaenyra told him about it last season he chokes her and she laughs, because in reality he was never considered to be named heir, Viserys never told him this) and Aegon nor Alicent, so when Rhaenyra hears the exact words and Alicent is confused she realizes her father never regretted his decision and becomes aware that the throne is hers and she has been robed of it by this confusion. To me this part was really important because she was considering that her father did change his mind about her and perhaps she might surrender, but then that's not it and she knows that the only way to claim what's hers is war :( sad but necessary, because the greens are not going to stand back now.

This is NOT me defending the harassment of Fabien Frankel, because that's unacceptable. The hate thrown his way isn't simply just because of the A/Erryk situation. It's the whole of his actions leading up to that as well. Criston basically spat at Rhaenyra when she suggested the EXACT situation he has going on with Alicent. His hypocrisy is maddening. That, added with the allowance of Jaehaerys' murder by being in bed with Alicent, then chastising Arryk for "sullying" his white cloak when he's been doing that by breaking his chastity vow over and over and murdering innocent men left and right, his projection on Arryk was the height of hypocrisy. He sent an innocent man to his death. A death that made brother killed brother. But again, those are the actions of Criston Cole NOT Fabien Frankel. So stop harassing him you weirdos.

It's also important to point out that what we absolutely know and don't know about the way the bonds work isn't 100% clear. The fact that Laenor has been gone for all these years (at least 3 years) could be the issue; maybe Seasmoke expected him to come back, or maybe he has been close enough by that it didn't matter. But if he has gone further into Essos and didn't just settle in Pentos somewhere, right across the Narrow Sea, then the bond may be fainter. Or maybe he is CLOSER to home now, and Seasmoke senses him, but hasn't been able to find him. There is a lot George has NOT explained about that magic.

there’s really nothing alicent can do to stop the war from happening. which is so tragic bc at the dinner scene with viserys she said rhaenyra would make a fine queen one day. also, that throne was 100% getting usurped by otto the moment viserys died like…he’d been scheming since the day rhaenyra got named the heir.

"Usurped" might be a little too much there. He's always wanted to wield power but even he could never have planned for Viserys to not have a male child nor Aemma's death, which was the only way he could get Alicent there. That opportunity presented itself but otherwise he probably would have been content being the Hand of whoever followed. That's what makes it a twisted just deserts that he got fired twice after putting in so much work just to stay there.

@@douglas2938 No, "usurped" IS the correct word. When Alicent tells the council about what she believes is Viserys' last wish, she finds out that Otto and the council had been planning to take the throne for Aegon anyway, it's just now they have a better story. If Viserys changed his mind before he died, then it isn't usurpation after all, which makes them all very happy. AND, not only was he planning to take the throne anyway, but on top of that he commands the lord commander of the Kingsguard to go to Dragonstone and kill Rhaenyra, Daemon, and all their children before anyone can be told Viserys is dead. The lord commander refuses and resigns on the spot, then he and Erryk flee the Red Keep (after Erryk steals Viserys' crown back). The thing is, the war was always going to happen, no matter what Alicent heard that night, because Otto already had a plan in place. Go back and watch episode 9 and you will see that.

I don't think you needed to be a fortune teller to smell that incoming blood bath.

The cut to the battle aftermath is so haunting especially since the immediate next stop is the buried twins, reinforces the two-close-sides-needlessly-warring feeling

To quote Rhys Ifans, the actor who plays Otto Hightower when aske if he was Team Black or Green: "Both sides are genocidal, crazy war criminals. So I think we should all enjoy seeing how they die.” For me the reason I can't stand Cole THIS much, is how likable he was when we first got to know him in S1 as Rhaenyra's lover. And then getting that 180. And now he's doing exactly the same, punishes others for the exact same things he's doing. Compared to Jeoffrey who was just evil throughout, almost comically, and we just wait for the comeuppance, to watch him die.

As a vfx artist, I really appreciate you guys mentioning that you know VFX is involved in nearly every shot and generally giving good critics and not praising practical FX by crapping all over VFX.

5:10 you're not entirely wrong. This dialogue was to tell the audience that the dragon is lonely because Rhaenyra's first husband might be dead. That is why rhaenyra's expression changes because she realises why the dragon is lonely

Well that's basically actual history

The Song of Ice and Fire, if you’ll recall is etched into the blade that Aegon II carries with him. They have no idea (the Greens) of any of this. Because it is only passed down to the person who will inherit the throne. It was in season one I think episode one or two. That blade appears in GOT .

the rule of GOT: if you want them dead, they gonna survive for a while, if you like them, they're gonna die in the next episode.

I love the humor you guys find while watching this often disturbing and violent show. There are so many people to dislike and it can be hard to watch but I laugh a lot watching your reactions. I hope episode four is as epic as people are predicting

It’s not a spoiler to answer your question about witches. The answer would be. In the game of thrones universe magic, in all forms, is very *very* real. Anything else gets into spoiler territory so hopefully that satisfies your curiosity on that point for now! (I know people are getting on you guys for these reviews. But as someone who has read all the books, watched all the shows, and deeply loves this universe, to me it’s interesting to see you being introduced to it. It provides a very different perspective and I hope you consider also reacting to the original Game of Thrones show at some point!)

23:20 the knife has the song of ice and fire story, the dream of aegon the conqueror, Inscribed on it. When the king showed her last season when the knife had been sitting in fire.

the reason the black family and the targaryans have white hair if because they are the two remaining familys from old verlyria

The woman Daemon saw is named Alys Rivers, and yes she is a witch. She's one of the more mysterious characters in this universe as no one knows who or what she really is. It is believed by some that she may even be over 400 years old and uses dark magic to keep herself young. I'm excited for this show to explore the more mystical elements of this world's lore.

Remember guys, Harrenhal might be empty, but Harrenhal is the main castle of the region, and who ever runs Harrenhal is the overall Lord of the region, and the lords of the other noble houses around Harrenhal pledged loyalty to Harrenhal, so who ever gets Harrenhal on their side, gets a huge army combined of soldiers from every noble house around Harrenhal.

The lonely dragon belonged to Laenor, Rhaenyra's last husband who they sent to Essos. So the look of concern might mean Rhaenyra thinking he's dead, or that "lonely" means the dragon is looking for a new rider and she needs to make sure they're on her side.

I'm loving catching ya'll's reaction to this series! So often you have similar comments to what I say to my fiancé as we watch it hahaha

You guys have become my favorite House of the dragon react channel. But ya'll should stand and clap before and after every episode for at least 10min.

gwayne was in ep 1 of the show his face just wasnt shown, he fought against daemon in the tourney

To answer Adams question on Velaryian steel, how items are forged is a mystery as it's secrets were lost when Velyria was destroyed, so it's impossible to forge anything new, you can reforge a Velaryian steel sword but its a very hard process, it is thought that magic and dragons fire were used but that can't be confirmed, what is known is it's very strong but light, and in the case of bladed weapons the blade will remain sharp forever, it's also very expensive, Many of the Noble houses have a Velaryian steel weapon mostly swords that get passed down the family line.

Idk if you guys know this but Milly alcock has indeed been casted as DC's Supergirl/Kara.

The next episode is called Dance of Dragons so I think we’ll finally see dragons fighting. Good call about Seasmoke being lonely without a rider - however the show is different from the book in that Laenor (Seasmoke’s rider) is actually dead so Seasmoke would be free to find another rider. In the show they softened it up so as not to besmirch Rhaenyra by letting Laenor live and have a happy ending. His dragon should still be bonded to him even from afar and would most likely go find him.
