@@TheAOTSdude They can always change some bits from the book since the source of that history is not that RELIABLE. Remember, this is merely based on a history book. So a lot of things could be altered such as character’s actual death. They changed Laena’s and now Leanor’s. I think it’s a good move since we are supposedly watching the ACTUAL STORY and not just what the HISTORY had led us to believe. Heck they might even change Rhaenyra’s death since it was already hinted by Jeoffrey. I don’t think the show runners would just settle on that “spoiled death” of the main character.

Daemon is that wild card every player of the game wants. The sheer power he possesses - as a warrior, as a dragonrider, and as a man. When the Dance actually begins, we will see why he is someone everyone fears. Even the combined strengths of Otto, Criston and Aemond - all formidable players - won't be enough to match Daemon.

Isn't it ironic (and delicious) that Daemon is the only character who has been right about everything since ep 1? Like he said it, Otto is playing for his own house, can't trust him, I would protect you Viserys, from your own weakness. He warned Rhaenyra in ep 4 that the public's opinion is what matters. He asked to marry Rhaenyra but was refused based on false assumption that he wanted the throne even though he never wanted to be involved in court (one of his first lines was that the court bored him), then he warned Rhaenyra that she and Laenor would not be a good couple, then he told Rhaenyra in this ep to stop being so naive about Otto and Alicent, ETC ETC. Like everyone, stop what you are doing and LISTEN TO DAEMON for once! :D

That confrontation between Rhaenyra and Alicent was just incredibly well written, like the dialogue is so crisp.
I'm pretty sure that the scene with Rhaenyra and Daemon standing on the beach is the first picture we got from this series, back when they were still filming
This episode is by far the best one. That family fight amongst the children then escalating to the adults was amazing. The tension between both Families and both the queen and the king. See criston defending the queen and I was nervous that the king was going to get the commander to step in and stop ser criston then you see daemon step in and protect rhaeneyra against ser criston. This is the type of drama that happens in real families that starts with children (obviously not to this extent of violence) but this drama and hatred towards these families is only going to grow and not go away because of this event. Then obviously the plot twist ending. One of the best episodes I have ever seen.
The lighting, or lack there of, is one of my favorite parts of this show. For me personally, the darkness of those scenes makes them feel more real. I can understand how it could not work for some people, but I like it. Great episode!

The book was composed in the POV of two very different people, it's not supposed to be seen as accurate. It's kinda like a bard singing a song of a battle or king's life - literally one of accounts was from Mushroom the jester, who claimed he totally slept with Rhaenyra too.

In the books, it was recorded in their history as written by Archamester Gyldayn that Laenor died. It was left to the speculation of the reader to think how he really died. Of course the prevailing theory then was that Daemon killed him because he was the direct benefactor of Laenor's death. There was no clue at all that they faked his death. Of course now we know that they're building up Rhaenyra as the main "Heroine" of this story so they're afraid to have her do something bad. Even in reality they still committed murder. Also, a lot of what was written in the books werent just accounts from two POVS. Many were just known facts that even Archsmaester Gyldayn and Mushroom agreed on and corroborated by other sources. It's also going to be confusing if we're gonna treat the show as the "real canon" because it was written in the book that Rhaenyra and Alicent has a big age gap like 8 years.

@Supriya Mukherjee how would he actually know if he wasn’t there and there WAS a burnt beyond recognition body. It absolutely makes so much sense that there were things that were kept secret and so the commonly held story went into the books. It’s not like we know everything that went down in our own histories so why would it be different in Westeros? Often reality is far different from the history books as we all know. And since Daemon and Rhaenyra sons eventually sit the Iron throne it makes absolute sense that the writers of history would not wish to anger them perhaps as history is written by the victors.

Wooooooow!! Great episode 👏🏾 And the ending, I didn't see that coming.
This episode is a 10/10 for me. Probably the best of the season so far in my opinion. Had me on the edge of my seat!
I love this show because it isn’t completely like the book history is different in the eyes of whoever wrote it so they can actually get away with changing things in the show which is great history isn’t completely reliable.
The first to post their reaction as always!! Thanks guys.
This episode was great! All that tension spilling over. Kids going off. An eye taken out. I was cheering for the kids fighting. Oooo that was done so well.
I like your channel cause you guys are always first on dropping the reaction videos
Main thing I love about this show is it doesn't force you to choose a side, it presents 2 sides and gives them both flaws and strengths and you get to choose who u root for. No hero's and villains, just Grey

Alicent has overflown with bitetrness and is doing bad things because of it, but if we're to find a root for all the problems it is Rhaenyra and her exploitation of Viserys weakness. Modern sensibilities makes her a bit more sympathetic since we know shes not doing all these selfish things just to spite everyone around her, how bad can sleeping around be, right? But in this world she is really ruining the lives of everyone around her for selfish reasons.

@@Helldog6 Alicent hasn't done much considering Rhaenyra has continued to commit high treason in public while gaslighting everyone with the help of Viserys. What do you think Alicent should do when she and everyone are being so disrespected for so long? If Alicent was more forgiving then she would have to help Rhaenyra lie, the same woman who has lied to her for a decade, the same lie that got her father fired. It's unreasonable to expect that from Alicent, especially since it isn't actually right. Royals are supposed to follow the rules because if they don't then the people have no reason to do so either. The people has no reason to accept the rule of a royal who does not follow his or hers own rules. To excuse Rhaenyra yet again is to burden the people as a whole with "being the bigger person". It will obviously crash and burn. If Rhaenyra just didn't have bastards and didn't try to force everyone into believing they're legitimate then obviously Alicent would be more forgiving. But you are asking Alicent to give all the ground. Why are so many people telling the people who have done all the right things to sacrifice but not the ones who ahve cheated everything? Daemon and Rhaenyra are not good people. Alicent was.

@@vergil8833 Shut up Alicent literally lied and went behind Rhaenyra's back to seduce Viserys as soon as Rhaenyra;s mother died. AND never told Rhaenyra. Alicent acts self righteous but she was never right. She is wrong at the outset -- courting your best friend's dad for 6 months?? How honorable is that?? GTFO. Alicent is the biggest asshole. And Viserys should not have married her -- he's actually the cause of all this problem. Rhaenyra is only doing what other Kings have done, fathering bastards upon bastards. This storyline is showing that while some people are angry about it, a lot of people are letting it go or turning away -- until dumbass Alicent keeps bringing it back into the spotlight. Not everyone feels as upset by it, which is why so many people are backing Rhaenyra (they're realizing it's a backwards rule that is unevenly applied to women). Good thing Alicent and all her children are gonna die off because they're the ones who actually commit treason and destruction in the end.

@@vergil8833 Oh yes I definitely agree with the fact that they are bastards and that he was correct in his statement but that doesn’t make the way he behaved at all ok - I lay all of it at the feet of King Viserys to be honest and last episode I even commented that he should have been firmer with Rhaenyra about the parentage of her children. Were I the King I would have given her the opportunity to abdicate as heir in favor of her true born brother. I would have had a long discussion with her and said that I realize it isn’t your fault but especially due to the prophecy we need to maintain the integrity of the throne. When you are in that position it isn’t about how you feel about your family or children - it is about maintaining the crown and making sure that the establishment passes on to the next generation to provide - hopefully - stability in the realm. Weak Kings are responsible for more wars I\in history I swear. Anyway, yes - you are right that she definitely was in the wrong but it is absolutely also understandable that she did so as a mother all things considered. Also she would never abdicate unless her father willed it so she has to protect the throne as best she could despite definitely having had bastards. The fact of the matter is that in a real kingdom with a bloodline that is so distinctive those children would never have been permitted to remain at court and would have been fostered out to far flung houses to raise as their own and it would have been said that they died and that would have ha;penned until she had a true born heir. Truth. It has historically happened on a number of documented occasions. Anyway I agree but the kid also was being an absolute jerk and threatening to kill his cousins and got violent with weapons first. This was all made worse as well considering that his cousins Mom had just died and I think you need permission to claim a dragon. Not sure about that last but still…
