From there its only a bit of detective work determining who the most likely killer was It would already be evident that it was one of the Greens' dragons as the only other enemy with dragons at their disposal, and after that it would be as simple as learning Aemond was at Storms End and that he left with Vhagar the same time Lucerys did When we see Rhaenrya at the very end of the season, she may not know all of this yet, we arent given a definitive answer on that, but I think she can piece together ENOUGH to know that her enemies at Kings Landing are most likely responsible for her sons death I cant remember/dont know if they touch on this more in the books, but i think show viewers are given enough information and hints to piece together how they learned everything

Just to let you know Charlie they really only covered 2 chapters from the book. Most people thought this series would have maybe 1-3 episodes of buildup and then hop staright into episode 9 or 10. I actually think the slow pacing this season was a genius move by hbo because it allowed us to get acquainted with the characters in the show and show their personalities and relationships and how the kingdom was before the true dance of the dragons began.

I 100% agree on Viserys, i always thought he was a wimpy king, he ignored his brother's crimes and disobedience, he ignored his daughter's acts of "indecency" he just tries to please everyone, and i think the way the called him "Viserys the Peaceful" in the end was so fitting

@easternrebel1061

11 ай бұрын

I personally think that viserys being so wealthy actually caused Rhynaera to become so stuck up and entitled, drove Alicent to more desperate measures, ruined the friendship the two had, caused several wars with the triarchy only 1 of which are covered so far, and his stubborn refusal to even hear out the accusations against his daughter are a huge reason why things went from ok, to bad, to worse. I guess the morals of the story are: 1. Don't try to please everyone, you will end up pleasing no-one. 2. Sometimes the truth will hurt, a lot. Despite this , refusal to heed it will hurt even more and cause further problems down the road (refusing to accept that his daughter is a bit of a hoe) 3. Sometimes rules and traditions are there for a reason, and refusal to take heed of them will result in your friends slowly turning against you. 4. Indecisiveness will come back to bite you. As you keep putting off problems for "next time" the problems only grow and fester.

Didn't expect so many scenes of tension and turns, but it managed to work on the development of nearly all the characters. For the most part, this series came out as a winner!

The actor who plays Viserys was the motivating factor for Matt Smith to join the cast. He wanted to act with him.

I get the complaint about the time jumps. But HOTD is really trying to stay faithful to the source material, Fire and Blood, which is written like a historical anthology. The stories in Fire and Blood span hundreds of years and time jump quite constantly. So I think HOTD is striking the perfect balance of honoring the storytelling of the original material and taking their time enough to make us invested in the characters.

Well as far as the aging up thing w/Viserys - he was cut by the chair which gave him an infection, was stated later he had a form of leprosy which made him rot inside and out and that's why he looked like he was aging etc. Viserys was also known as Viserys The Peaceful, but his kindness often was his downfall. The age jumps were explained to give some background to the relationship between Rhaenyra and Alicent as children growing up together, and how close they were until decisions outside of their control changed the trajectory of their friendship. Respect to you for your take on this series though!! I absolutely loved it and looking fwd to S2 in....2024 lololol

Most characters do visibly age, but it's subtly and some aged too gracefully for a like 20 year total of timeskips (Cole being the prime example.) Many characters will grow grey hairs, have a receding hairline, present themselves differently and even have different body languages to signify time passing. I'd say though, our two main characters start out as teens, and end with their mid thirties, which is a period in which their *everything* changes drastically. So I'd say their massive changes, contrasted by the extremely graceful aging of the rest of the cast, makes the timeskips feel a bit puzzling sometimes

This show was an easy 10/10 for me as a book reader and I have been waiting so long to see it adapted

Sarah Hess is forcing feminism changing alot from the books fuckin up daemons charachter deleting his scenes (she deleted all scenes daemon was showing love to his daughters),she is forcing us to like the female protagonists, He has the least screen time. Remove sarah hess the feminist immediatly from season 2 before she ruins daemons charachter and the entire show for everyone. she insulted grr martin saying that he made alicent evil( she is a crazy villain in the books ) so we will change that in season 2 bec. women are angels and men are creating false image in books. (she hates daemon and she is upset that fans love him she said that in an interview)

The fact that they improved on the book characters, too... Especially Aemond and Viserys. Didn't think that was possible. Great, great acting and writing all around. I'd also give it a 10/10 without a doubt.

Viserys is like the Ned Stark of the show, he has a good heart, he loves his family - and despite his moments of indecisions, he stood by the biggest decision he made in keeping his daughter as the rightful heir. That moment he walked up the Throne all banged up and near-dead, and Daemon came to help him, that was just...MWUAH! 👌

I also really enjoy how Goerge leaves the door open for different interpretations of his stories by insisting that they are not his stories but the historical accounts from the perspectives of the maesters. Like how joffrey "spoils" the end in the original game of thrones. I'm wondering if the big twist will be that they fake their deaths to hide in safety like they did with Leanor.

Loved the series it really had me waiting in suspense for mondays!

Your ability to articulate your thoughts is amazing. Than you for an amazing review

The time jumps did take me off guard at first but I think it was well done in establishing how we get to the Dance of dragons. I can understand people not liking that aspect but at least we're done with them now. All in all I feel like this season was fantastic TV.

Absolutely agree with all the points you made. Thank you for this video. Very excited for season 2

The jumpcuts were made because the stories of their youth don't matter much. They show how each character was, how the relations were, the mistakes that were made...etc. Imagine if they didn't do that, you'd never understand why Aemond hated Lucerys, why Criston hates Rhaenyra...etc. It was confusing at first, but then you understand why they were made and it makes sense

I think that they handled the time jump really well, they intentionally had the camera follow a single set of characters for what felt like 20 mins and only then did they cut away to the other characters and had us catch up with them. I will say the constant children and pregnancies did throw me for a loop tho.

Time jumps were a bit confusing but I understand why because they need to show the progress of time and that the characters have matured and changed. The women having babies thing was to illustrate how the women were trapped in this fate of having to give birth as a primary duty and the pain and suffering involved with it. It was so significant in that those babies were personified unions/alliances between houses.

I am kinda new to your channel but I am so excited to watch your two cents on HoTD! Wether you like it or not The Song of Ice and Fire universe is quite fascinating. Regarding the pregnancies and gruesome childbirths: this is what we missed out on the original series because it was really a big part of the “medieval era”. Like Aemma, the wife of the King said; this is the war for women. Death and pain is all the same. Im glad that the shifted the sex & R scenes to somewhat something more realistic and relatable. And I really hope that at least one of the actors get an Emmy for their acting skills, especially Paddie Considine who portrayed King Viserys… such a complexed character!

It's a generational show so I think that they set it up as best they could. It's difficult to show such a long stretch of time just to set up the real conflict. After this season there will be much less time jumping and I think that anyone who was confused after this season will really love the coming seasons.

the passage of time is also pretty realistic when you look at how long some wars lasted. asoiaf is vaguely inspired by the events of the war of roses, which lasted 3 decades. and it's not just the infighting amongst the targaryens, they did a pretty good job a subtly alluding to how long the brackens and blackwoods have been feuding with one another. all these royal houses tend to hold grudges lol

King Viserys was BA.. at the end he looked so gnarly and scary he could have so easily been a tyrant but he was the sweetest grandpa/dad ever

One thing that stood out the most for me is the screenplay! Loved it ❤❤

Great Show can’t wait till season 2 :)

Let’s be honest the biggest achievement of this show is the creation of an expectation for the fans that the future can be bright. I was not disappointed even though I went in with 0 expectations and every episode did a great job of getting the show to grip me and it did and has me hyped for next season. Good job team keep it up.

Honestly i liked the description of this season was the back story build up to the up coming seasons to get you invested.

I think the pregnancies and time jumps explains a lot in the show … yes they kinda gave me whiplash on how often they jumped but George explains that there were sooo many Targaryen’s around at this time both full grown and babies that a civil war was almost inevitable. There were so many Targaryen’s that had claim for the throne that war was always on the horizon … and because season one is a prequel to The Dance setting up the characters their personalities, ambition, loyalties , etc and I think that’s why there are so many pregnancies to explain the amount of Targaryen’s alive at this time and why the war happens

@@almightyproductions9657 Most people don't use the textbook definition of most things and it is intelligently dissingenous at best to pretend the constantly documented lived experiences of women are alleged because random individuals define patriarchy (applied as an structure and system that upholds male dominance via the oppresion of women in every living sphere) with different wordings. I admitted that mysogyny and female empowerment doesn't fit into the neat tidy box a lot of watchers want it to go into (Rhaenerya being a girlboss female liberator) but I also alluded to the ways in which there is still very much a patriarchy in action in the world of Westeros with my comment about Alicent, even if it is not a 1:1 replica of real world society, same way there is a feudal system in place even if medieval civil wars weren't fought with dragons. To answer your question: Yes, because the only way you are going to get no input about the paralels between real world oppression and examples of the same in fiction is by excluding all people who experience any kind of oppresion from those discussions. Also let's not pretend this is some niche DnD campaign being played in a basement, this is a multimillion dollar show being built upon one of the biggest cultural pop culture successes of the 21st century who are you gatekeeping this from. I used formula 1 because it as further away you can get from needing to analyze any kind of social nuance and inner character motivations in a show since you seem to hate it, I have nothing against it and I'm sure afficionados could tell you why it is an interesting sport, not sure where you perceived shame.

In my opinion so many time jumps came in this season because there really wasn’t much going on in the grand scheme of things. Little things important to the show were highlighted but mainly the players for the Dance of the Dragons needed to be introduced and some of them are multiples decades apart in age so the time jumps were quite necessary i think.

I wholeheartedly agree. My biggest issue was all the time jumping. They could've given me a full season about young Rhaneyra. But I think the time jumps will stop being so prevalent in the next season. From what I understand the show is supposed to be based around the kids of Rhaneyra and Allicent

@Aredel

Жыл бұрын

Primarily, yes. Most of the conflict in Fire and Blood is based around the Greens vs the Blacks. Very little conflict happens during Rhaenyra and Allicent's childhoods. A show making a gamble like this really needs to set up some huge payoff for next season, otherwise it won't gain any traction.

I liked the time jumps, from what I've heard the children are important to the actual Dance of the Dragons arc so they needed to wrap up all the birthing in season one. Also they were done cohesively in my opinion. I agree with Jackson also, ep 9 felt a bit like a downer compared to the rest of the show. It was also visually amazing to watch, I'm guessing 9+ years of dragon designing on GOT paid off. The settings and set pieces were meaningfully crafted and well put together. The casting is by far my favourite part of the show. All the actors looked phenomenal in their roles. Really can't wait for season 2 cos it does look like all hell is gonna break loose
