Aemond doesn't really even need to hide what he did. There's nothing anyone can do. You literally can't touch him. If you somehow killed Aemond, the Greens would be done. Without Aemond they have no defense. Aemond can say or do whatever he wants...especially now.

Well that's what makes the story kind of weird / weak given the Greens have only one dragon rider left (Helaena is an unlikely combatant), two healthy dragons Vhagar and Dreamfyre and another unclaimed dragon that flies near Kings Landing. Whereas Raynera has lots of riders (including Corlys illegitimate sons) and Targaryen relatives that can ride plus she has the big dragons Syrax, Caraxes, Seasmoke, Silverwing and the gigantic Vermithor. There are also the wild dragons Greyghost, Sheepstealer and the biggest and deadliest dragon of all the Cannibal. It was rumored we get to see a scene of someone coaxing Sheepstealer and then suddenly the flying monster the Cannibal shows up. That better happen. Anyway the Greens have absolutely no chance this is like our airforce against the Japanese or Germans at the end of WW2. Why are they even fighting?

The scene where the Lord of Harrenhall wakes Daemon in the night is a dream. It’s showing him what COULD happen if he doesn’t have empathy for the small folk, it’s EXACTLY what Alys said in the scene where she’s bandaging Daemon’s hand. The lords that confront Daemon are a vision. They 1 wouldn’t speak to Daemon like that in the middle of the night. 2 they would not know anything about the specific details about Blood & Cheese or that Daemon had anything to do with it 3 the woman at the end tells him they do not want to be ruled by a tyrant and maybe Daemon will want to change that perception. That. Meeting. Was. A. Dream.

People complain about spectacle, and say they want the political intrigue and conversations. Then say they'd skip the episode full of that to get to the exciting stuff. People just love to complain. This isn't a top 5 episode when it comes to excitement by any stretch, but it was such an important episode. I would never skip over all this time we got with these characters.

i tend to love slower episodes (ep2 of this season is my favorite episode of the whole show with Driftmark) but this episode suffers bc of the episodes that came before, espacially on the black side of the story. Every team black council goes the same way: rhaenyra feels undermined for 5 episodes now, complains about not having been taught about warfare and then says her father wanted her to rule. Its ok for 1/2 episodes, but we're past the midseason and their story is still on the same page. The greens councils on the other side have more debate, more vigor and characters with different reasonings. So its not a well liked episode, not bc its slow, but bc its repetitive. The writers have put the tb characters in a cage and they dont allow them to make morally questionnable decisions (except for Daemon, who is carrying tb on his back rn) so their scences feel dull.

This is when Game Of Thrones and House Of The Dragon are at their best and most addictive for me, not from movie quality fight scenes, but from plans being made, from alliances being forged or broken, from the pieces being moved on the game board.

Cole has PTSD =Post Traumatic Seeing Dragons 😂😂😂

ive noticed that a lot of people have been complaining about the slow episodes which is surprising to me because those are usually my favorite because they can’t convince you with great spectacle and action so there’s more emphasis on dialogue, character development and just writing in general and there’s so much detail in the writing. even Game of Thrones didn’t really have great action every single episode, season 4 of GOT is considered the best season of the show and there’s not really much action in that season so i feel like people have grown impatient or something.

Daemon: This must not be connected to the Crown. Blackwood: Yo, Dawg! Can we borrow your cool banners?

The push-in on Alicent at the council meeting is fantastic. You can see the emotions on her face. I think she realizes that she has zero control over what's going to happen now. She put something in motion, based on a misunderstanding as she knows now, that she cannot stop. Brilliant scene.

I completely agree with the idea that Alys is trying to change Daemon's heart. Also, she isnt GIVING him these visions, but is inducing his suppressed thoughts to come to the surface so that he can confront them. I believe she is also learning these things about Daemon WITH Daemon.

You're wrong about Jace. He's the most deserving and suitable of all the heirs. He would have made a good king. Hes the one who took most of the strategic decisions, got multiple houses to support his mother. It's sad that he died at 14. And he's doing all this for her- keep in mind that he's doing this after standing on the sidelines for ages. He even defended his mom against daemon in s1. He's always just followed her orders, but now he has to act especially because Rhaenys is dead and Daemon is away

19:17 How disgusting. "Know your place..." Criston Cole is the *Hand of the King* and the *Lord Commander of the Kingsguard.* He speaks *with the King's voice.* Alicent is nothing more than the Queen Dowager. She has no formal authority, and she certainly does not outrank Criston. Perhaps you should learn your place.

1). Eating the dragon head never crossed my mind. It’s an interesting take, but no. 2) I don’t understand the concern about getting things done without Rhaenyas’s consent. She complains about not doing anything and yet she doesn’t do anything. She sent the hand to Corles and sent a message to Daemon…Is this whole season going to be her hoping for allies when that’s where last season left off? 3). Alicent is so obnoxious. She has spent all season yelling at Aegon for being impulsive and foolish and now that Aemon has a chance to step up it’s such a tragedy for her?

Rhaenyra's advantage are the dragons that live on dragonstone because the vows and supposed allies she hoped she had didn't really think her sitting the throne was worth dying for. That's also how it goes in the book. Rhaenyra is at a severe disadvantage when it comes to armies and Houses but she has more dragons than the Greens and there are riderless dragons on Dragonstone that could still be claimed. Alicent being worried about Aemond is because he's killed his family (Luke) before so he's a kinslayer in the eyes of the rest of the realm, the worst kind of person one can be in Westeros. That reputation now leads her to think that he might at least in part be responsible for Aegon's condition and she wonders what it would mean for the realm if a man like Aemond were in charge. It's like entrusting your future to Ramsay Snow...you just don't do it, see?

In the books hugh the hammer claims the vermithor now lets see who claims in show

21:00 You guys forget, Jace already made deals with the Vale (Jeyne Arryn for a dragon) and the North (made a friendship with Cregan Stark). The show didnt include it but in the book, he also went and made deals with White Harbor and Sisterton. Rhaenyra backed all his deals.

Setting up episodes are always frustrating if on a week by week basis. They are only truly appreciated during binge watching.

The Blackwoods follow the Old Gods and the Brackens the New Gods {thus they have Septs}. Someone pointed out that the Septs would just be "banks" to the Blackwoods.

I wonder if Hugh the blacksmith is related to the Targaryens with that white hair. He looks more like them then the guy claiming to be one in the bar. If so it would make absolute sense for him to be upset with a broken promise from Aegon and turn towards Rhaenyra for help with his daughter. If Mysaria manages to spread rumors and unrest among the people, I imagine he will be one of the people that will go to the Black's side. At least I hope so. They seem to be showing him a lot for a reason and I feel like he might end up being a dragon rider.

I wouldn't skip this episode but I wouldn't watch it by itself. It's not a bad episode but It doesn't stand on its own as a satisfying episode. Also, Daemon didn't do what Aemond did because Daemon's brother wasn't a jerk.

Episodes like this are what made GoT so good back in the day, people aren't teleporting around (Unless of course on Dragon back), the politics/drama/chess pieces being moved.. I'm glad they don't feel the need to add a big action set piece per episode.

I mean Alicent has been super dumb recently, you are literally fighting a war to deny Rhaenyra the thrown on the basis that (you thought) her farther decided at the last moment a woman couldn't rule and you think it would be reasonable to name yourself Queen Regent..... Not to mention imo her eldest son being a complete fool and her younger son being a menace are both due to how she and Viserys both failed to discipline and direct them in a wise fashion when they were young. Aegon acting like a fratboy since he was like 12 and Aemond getting bullied relentlessly all his youth and not being taught how to deal with it.

Most people to a dead dragon head: 😮😰😭 Achara: CAN WE EAT IT

When they said Vermithor and Silverwing, I thought of the dude at the bar, AND Hugh…the guy with the sick daughter and wife….take a look at his hair lol. Hugh has been the focus a few times and it’s gotta be for something.

This episode is exactly what must-see TV game of Thrones is. Not every episode can have a battle with Dragons. It's storytelling at its best!

1:40 Thats Hugh Hammer, he will be Vermithor's new rider in the next episodes. Hes a Targaryen Bastard(Dragonseed), thats why he has blonde hair and thats why Vermithor accepted him as its new rider.

never make achara a ruler of a kingdom. lol. she is kinda like alicent imo, well idk, but i would be scared of her as ruler…. lol

So Jace should not have gone to raise army for Rhaenyra that she currently does not have?

Maseria involving more with Rhaenyra can be the key to find new dragonriders, she must know that guy on the tavern that says he's queen's uncle, and that he supports her, he coujd be one she needs, also the blacksmith will try to escape and maybe get to Dragonstone, he can make those weapons for Rhaneyra's army too, and his hair is well colored to ride a dragon too maybe, great reaction as always.... keep rocking and stay safe!!!!

love the team up between Rhaenyra and Mysaria

I hatehow the scriptwriters work, they simply don't have the courage to make Rhaenyra what she is known for, as Rhaenyra the cruel, even the fact that the population is completely starving seems to be the fault of the greens, and the blacks together with Rhaenyra closed all the entrances where food came to supply the city, this being one of the main reasons for the population to kill all the dragons after with so much rage, but the cowardly scriptwriters are already going to blame it on the greens for parading with a dragon's head, how pathetic that is

Alys is manipulating Daemon...is that so difficult to understand? Its not him - at least not completely...she using magic to make him feel insecure, hate himself and weaken him. That is why hes making these terrible decisions. The real D would never let Blackwood walk over him and would def have made sure he would follow his instructions

It is so frustrating to watch EVERY SINGLE content reactors out there absolutely hell bent on hating Ser Criston Cole. Like let's just pile hate upon hate no matter what he says, what he has to offer or even what he thinks coz God help us if Ser Criston actually has a thought in his mind and it's disgusting that he should do so lol. No wonder the actor has been getting so much abuse personally online. You people should do better, and this is to the content reactors coz you have an influence here. You have a loyal audience and your casual dismissive nature towards the character fuels their hate 10x more.

Daemon flopping while Criston succeding 😂

I'm finding the moments rhaenyra is moving forward on the chess board are when her insiders are coming up with out of the box ideas. using the anger of the citizens of kings landing is a good idea

Daemon is just high on Malana Stuff and chilling in an Airbnd.

I cant get over the Daemon scene. Dont know if im going to continue watching. So disappointing what they are doing to the show. Uncle-neice marrage was weird enough, but that's in the books. The mother son incest dream is gratuitous and unnecessary.

I'm surprised they missed that impoverished, but big strong man with the hungry wife and children that was featured a couple times in this episode, you know the one with the... BLOND HAIR.

Yeah, let's also not forget Addam and Alyn.

You've been underestimating Jace since the last episode. He secured three great houses-Stark, Arryn, and the Freys-on his own. You are so focused on action that you failed to see that royalties should have a more diplomatic side, which almost all characters do not have. Aegon, Aemond, Cole, and even Daemon lack diplomacy. Look what it got them and the people? Jace easily secured these houses for his Queen Mother by being smart, while others rely on their dragon or bloodshed to secure something. He is the only one who is acting like a true educated royalty. In the books, Jacaerys is one of the backbones of Team Black.

"Man, everyone is just going around Rhaenyra" Yes, that is what happens under weak leadership.

You'd think that two people who knows the in and out of the industry, has friends in it,claims to know about filmmaking and shows would understand that just because its not all action doesn't mean that its not important or a waste.its like you cant understand subtle things and have to be handheld on characters introduced in little ways. Its not dragging the show down its explaining the actors justifications and actions without beating you over the head with information just giving you enough to see that some minor characters will play great importance later.

I can really feel the tension built in this episode, and some people say that is boring, they really are building to something, but we only would find out in the next two weeks, the question is. Who is the next to die?

I dont get how Jaby doesn't understand what mysaria meant. She is the whisperer. Although it was never shown or addressed, Westeros' poor/normies slowly feel Aegon is not the King they want, especially after what he did to the ratcatchers. And now the taking out a dragon? It's an Omen to the normies. So sow divide among them, and you slowly see that doubt seeping into the Throne room too. Remember when Daemon took Rhaenyra to show how the people spoke of her initially? We'll see that happen to the Throne. They no longer care if its a Man ruling, they want MEAT, peace, stability and they feel the gods are doing this to them

Daemon's hands

Yes, Achara. As Hugh Hammer said, "It's just meat." He realized that Shitstain left literal TONS of food on the battlefield in order to rush back and put on his little parade. Which is just going to convince the smallfolk who do not already know, and the two people watching the show that missed it, that Shitstain is in fact a Shitstain. If the siege lasts long enough, there will be plenty of people glad for a dragon steak. So they don't {yet} have to eat a Kevan steak or a Sharyn steak.....

i MISS EVE/ Rhaenys soooo mcuh!!!

Well, to be honest, there are not to many options for a Regent on the Green side: Otto, but Aegon kicked him out. Alicent, but queens are not favored as Regents, particularly dowager queens. Ser Criston, as Aegon's Hand, but he'd be terrible, having zero political experience. Traditionally, it's another Targaryen, that leaves either Aemond, younger brother Daeron (about 15 years old) in Oldtown, or appoint Grand Maester Orwyle. Considering that Aemond rides the greatest of the Targaryen dragons and has demonstrated some intelligence (and no one other than Ser Crispy knows that he tried to kill his brother/king) and considerable initiative, he is the most logical choice, but only because war is upon them. (Otherwise, Alicent would make a good Regent). Of course, what seems to be the most logical choice may not prove so in the long run...

None of them have any claims though. The only ones with actual claims would be Aemond and Helaena

Alicent is surprised that they did not choose her, a woman, when being a woman is how they stole the crown from Rhaenrya. When being a woman is why Rhaenys didn't gain the crown. And, now, they turn away from her.

Going into this episode I was 50/50 on whether or not the show was finally gonna let Jace(my third favorite team black member) cook in this war !!!! Finally now we can see him display his leadership, the way he does in the book. Unleashed the the 🐉 SEEDS !!!!😈

When the producers/show writers mistake the success of the show as theirs, introduce their own sub narratives, destroy the character arcs and ruin the entire series… we all have seen that happen!

I like seeing Mysaria and Rhanerya working together. Mysaria had the chance to leave all this behind, but then she stayed and realized that Rhanerya could be the queen that thinks about the people. Varys was the master of whisperers in GOT and I would say Mysaria is a lot like him. She cares about the people and wants to see a ruler that will think about the people and not just those with titles. While Larys Strong seems to want to back who he thinks is more in power at the moment. He doesn't seem to care much for his people at all. He basically has left them in a shithole.
