My main issue with Rhaenys' departure (aside from what you pointed out) was that she has every reason to roast that stage right there as this scene is. If Rhaenyra falls Rhaenys' grandaughters are going down with her. The Greens would not let Daemon's daughters go freely. Obviously she can't bbq the stage because the story needs everyone there alive so there needs to be a reason why doing this would be folly. Like say, Aegon isn't there. He's outside on Sunfyre doing the donuts in the parking lot. That way whats the point of blasting them if their king isn't even there. killing Alicent would only make things worse in fact because Rhaenys believes her to be a rational person in Aegon's ear. Sparing Alicent for this reason would be a better motivation for Rhaenys to spare her than "oh wow shes a mom just like me she fr loves her kids so relatable anyway i gotta go". She can leave out the door, buzz past Aegon, and scene ends same way. Sparing Alicent for tactical reasons like protecting her granddaughters is also much more in character for her than empathizing with Alicent's love for her children.

The one justification would be that by that point the Dance is jut diplomacy, intimidation and attempt of outmaneuvering each other without an open war? But at the same time the show doesn't seem to really bring up that aspect or even make the descent into mass murder, kinslaying and kingslaying into an actual descent. Every old man with power and with desire for more power just seems to be absolutely instantly ready to commit the worst crimes of their faith and culture. Only really Rhaenyra, Alicent and the younger generation have any sort of restraint, and even then arguably, which creates this weird narrative where we are probably supposed to take Alicent thinking Viseyris wanted Aegon on the throne, Rhaenys unwilling to torch the stage and Aemond actually not wanting to kill Luke, just intimidate him, as a sort of show how this war, even if started over selfish reasons, even with actual justifications, wasn't meant to descend into what it did in the minds of those that started it, but then it did and it unleashed horror upon the land. But at the same time, yet again, due to how much over the top the show made many things, everyone already seems ready to indulge in a lot of murder early on.

The thing is, I think the point was they didn't expect the change in Aegon that came from the crowd cheering. Otto and Alicent didn't expect him to suddenly WANT to be king and were more or less planning a virtual house arrest where only their loyalists ever had direct access and they would be the real power. That's what the race was about.

I will note that Caraxes and Syrax have damaged the brickwork at Dragonstone on a consistent basis.

I really don’t know why the show bothered building up Criston’s resentment for Rhaenyra if it wasn’t going to lead into to his decision to become The Kingmaker. Like, in episode three, he tells Rhaenyra that people won’t have a choice but to accept her as queen which I thought was foreshadowing of how it was his choice to seat Aegon on the Iron Throne in place of her… but no. No speech to the council, no convincing Aegon, even his conscious decision to murder Lord Beesbury when he stands up for Rhaenyra’s claim is replaced with ambiguous manslaughter which isn’t anywhere near as satisfying as a character moment. In this context, I don’t know why he crowned Aegon since he did nothing to secure his reign. It just makes him a wet fart of a character who has no real role or purpose in this story as this was THE moment where he actually changed things on his own. (The coronation itself was also woefully underwhelming. Nevermind that they rushed it so much, Aegon was only blessed by four out of seven gods, but they removed one of my favourite moments when Alicent places a crown on Halena’s head and calls her “my Queen.” The bit I did like was Aegon unsheathing Blackfyre but that does NOT make up for it.) Now I don’t know why he’s there. He’s just gonna hang around until he dies because his purpose in the story was finished in episode five as he doesn’t serve any greater function than being the catalyst that destroyed the relationship between Rhaenyra and Alicent but now that’s over… why is he still here? And more than that, the show has set up the perfect moment for him to step in. Alicent was doubtful and unsure of whether she should help crown Aegon in place of Rhaenyra, Otto is arguing with her but then Criston steps in and convinces her using the arguments from the book bolstered by the resentment built up from the show, and when Beesbury continues to object, Criston slits his throat and the council concludes that they have no choice. Likewise, with Aegon unwilling to take the throne, Criston could have been the one to convince him in a way that no one else was capable of making him understand. The more I think about it, the angrier I get as it robbed Criston of his central narrative purpose and didn’t deliver anything meaningful in its absence.

@Longshanks1690

Жыл бұрын

With all of that being said, while I had some issues with how drawn out the hunt for Aegon seemed to be, I have to say that I really did appreciate what it accomplished in a narrative sense as it showed his character and his relationships to everyone around him without showing us Aegon himself. First of all, no one knows where he is, so we can immediately see that until this point he was something of a secondary thought as people aren’t exactly keeping a close enough eye on the future king. But even after that, few people know where to even begin looking and it’s only because Erryk is his sworn shield that he knows Aegon’s personality and Aemond is forced to know him as his brother but neither of them enjoy this, as they resent Aegon as a person. Likewise, his perverted activities show not only a vain narcissist but also a brutal sadist who enjoys watching pain in the fighting pit, with a doubly dark dimension that Aegon might be watching his own bastard children fight to the death for his amusement. And even after all of that, all Aegon wants to do is literally run away from his responsibilities, to forsake the crown and run away to do literally anything else. We saw from the last episode that he’s clearly a monster but is he irredeemable? We can see that he doesn’t lust for power like Joffrey, he doesn’t crave the ability to make people hurt and he doesn’t get reinforcement from his family in his urges, just the opposite in fact which might be the cause of his urges in the first place that all he wants is love and respect but no one gives it to him which just makes his tendencies even worse. So that all leads up to the moment of his coronation where he unsheathes Blackfyre, to the cheers and adulation of the crowd and for the first time in his life, he finally found a purpose and place where people would accept him and love him. This was the first time Aegon felt like he had support and whereas Rhaenyra gets her validation from her family and doesn’t need the crown, Aegon gets validation from the crown and doesn’t need his family. I felt this added so many layers and dimensions to his character that could be explored, even though I know he’ll just end up being a diet, store brand version of Joffrey. I would love it if Aegon wanted to be a kind of populist ruler who did what he thought the people would want him to do as they’re the ones who gave him love and respect, not his family. It would be an interesting contrast to Rhaenyra who is kind and gentle to people in her immediate circle but is regarded as Maegor with teats by the people while Aegon is a POS to people in his life but is loved by the smallfolk.

While you DO have a solid point. You have to remember that Fire and Blood is an in Universe story. So Criston Cole, could VERY well be a scapegoat. And people exagerated his crowning of Aegon. And this show has actually constructed Criston as a brute with little intelligence.

I suspect Criston's role will be to make Aegon a better king or more fit for a war by training him and maybe guiding him. Maybe he leans on Criston more than others. Bit of a stretch but still could make him, in a way, a Kingmaker. Plus, in a sense, he was the one to find him so thanks to this he got crowned. Rest may be "gossip"

Same! I don't always agree with her takes, but she usually brings a perspective on the show that I don't see from other KZreadrs and I appreciate it. It's nice to see her getting recognition from one of the heavy hitter Thrones channels.

I remember when I randomly decided "Jaehaerys is probably the baby sitting down Jaehaera is probably the one standing up" when I was adding images to the HOTD Fandom wiki. Good times.

Can’t wait to see how Aemond’s voice actor translates and performs “Oh, shit.”

Immediately after rewatching this season, I rewatched the entirety of Netflix’s “The Last Kingdom”, just to see Aemond playing Osferth again. It’s reassuring to see him being a gentle and genuinely good person once more, and the additional fact that in that show, HE’S the bastard- is just a lot of fun.

Indeed, no idea why they didn't (maaaybe budget?). A dragon stand-off would be the exact epic moment they were gunning for.

The Child Fighting pits were probably a nod to something GRRM said was how Rorge and Biter came about, with Rorge in charge of one of these fighting pits, raising the young abandoned Biter as one of the fighters.

I can’t lie but k-bag Cole gently pushing old man bees head into a table then pulling his sickest anime edge-lord pose behind his corpse is definitely one of the moments in season 1 episode 9 of hbo’s house of the dragon

The biggest problem to me about the scene with Alicent and Larys is that Queens do have power and Alicent has been shown to exercise authority. The writers of the show took a deeply pious woman who had power and treated her like a tool. How did Larys even propose that he be allowed to masturbate in her presence without immediately being arrested? The show wants us to believe that Alicent (who according to this episode didn’t even have political ambitions to advance until she misunderstands Viserys) values a network of information we’ve only seen used once for something Alicent didn’t want over her deeply held morals and faith and it just doesn’t make sense to me.

Are you stupid?

I don't know why, but "Aegon is canonically ticklish" made me bust out laughing. You are truly a brilliant satirist/analyst.

The lord commanders resognation struck me as a sort of Ned Stark x "one guy with a sword in a room of politicians moment". He absolutely had the power to stifle dissent in the room and serve his oldking/new queen, but his honour to his path forbids him from acting as queen maker while the dishonourable Ser Cole abuses his position to further greens' agenda.

The last scene could've played out very different if only they showed Helaena and Aegon riding through the city after the coronation anf them looking uyo to see Rhaenys fly out of the DragonPit.

In your last vid I commented how much I can relate because of the autism/tinnitus/music degree. This time, it's because I was a horn player. The harmonics of the horn are what make it such a beast to play. Also I appreciate you censoring "fr*nch" - you get it.

Thank you glimbo i cant tell you how much better you made my crappy day now

We love Glidus for being in solidatary with the Writers' strike in advance

Larys: “The one character with a physical disability”, I guess Viserys missing an arm and Aemond missing an eye are just cosmetic choices.

The Small Council: So we may proceed now with the full assurance of his blessing on our long laid plans. Alicent, Lord Beesbury and Harrold Westerling: NANI?😂😂😂😂

17:30 I like how the piano in this part sounds like it's asking a question and the "answer" is one low, sad note of affirmation. Viserys is dead. There are so many things up in the air now and the answers to all of the anxious questions are not good

His Grace has blessed us with his presence

its not parental neglect. its parents mishandling. like not being staunch when they should be, nor enough compassion when they should be providing more of it to their children. its a delicate balance

The piano pieces get me every time. I still get tears in my eyes when I hear Light of the Seven.

ACAPELLAS NEVER DISSAPOINT time to rerun it a hundred times

Other than wanting a girl boss moment the only reason i can see for Rhaenys not going out the other exit for the dragon pit could be the other, potentially hostile dragons that might be in her way. But it could've shown that so maybe they just wanted it to look cool.

the thing i hate most about the scene is that they could've done one of a few minor things to clarify the situation and have the set piece make complete sense. but they didn't. that's what has me most worried.

As a fellow autism, the gay, music and dragon enjoyer, this channel really is the gift that keeps on giving

Ave Ma-Bee-a was wonderful, thank you!!

To quote Count Dooku: "I've been looking forward to this"

If you haven't watched The Last Kingdom (I'm addressing this to everyone including Gilgamesh) I seriously recommend it. You get to see Ewan Mitchell's great range (Osferth is a total cinnamon roll) but it's extra fun seeing him playing a character who's King Alfred's bastard son given Aemond's hang ups. Also, the actress who plays Heleana plays his niece Aelfwynn which adds to the tripiness. Finally, if you can keep track of all the wacky Saxon names (there are 5-6 distinct characters named Uhtred son of Uhtred) the Valyrian names on HOTD will be a cakewalk.

It's really weird how next episode how Rhaenys tries to act like she's still a neutral party in all this. Like, bitch, you burst out of the fucking ground, interrupted their coronation ceremony, and threatened the royal family with your dragon. Not to mention that your grandchildren are betrothed to Rhaenyra's children. There is absolutely no way you're Switzerland in all this. That's another reason why I find the coronation scene head scratching. Her official reasoning is that "it wasn't my war to start". But lady, your two granddaughters, the only reminder you have left of the daughter you clearly loved very much, are directly tied to the other side of this power conflict. After failing to save two of your own children, I don't think Rhaenys would have been so calm about letting another potential threat to her family go.

Yeah, the Corlys and Rhaenys pretending they aren't already part of the war and that they aren't sided with Rhaenyra is such a weird plot point. And Rhaenys's face in ep 10 when Daemon asumes she is. YOU ARE. Your grand daughters are Damon's children (my headcanon is that they are actually Vaemond's or some other Velaryon because non of the 3/4 black children I know have that many black features. I could excuse one of the twins because genetic probability or wathever, but both? No way.) and they are engaged (don't know how to write the bethroded word) to Rhaenyra's, be serious.

I love how in Alicents eyes Rheanyra’s consensual relationship in what is essentially an open marriage with a husband who cannot give her heirs, is a terrible moral failing that should be exposed, she see’s it as ‘truth and decency’ winning out. But when it comes to her own son being a drunkard and a r*pist she’s all about keeping it quiet and putting him on the throne. It really shows the hypocrisy in pretending that her lofty morals are her main reason for constantly trying to undermine Rheanyra. She previously advises Viserys to do whats best for the realm, but she’d have to be completely daft to actually think Aegon would be a better king than Rheanyra, or that his actions are somehow not completely morally corrupt in comparison to Rheanyra’s.

Ай бұрын

I’ve interpreted it as how things LOOK. Rhaenyra is visibly messy. Aegon can be controlled, hidden, and cleaned up and presented. Rhaenyra is seemingly acting like a wildcard, making decisions with little afterthought that permanently damage her reputation.

My theory is that Mysaria made up the accent to sound mysterious while working as a prostitute and get clients, now she uses it to convince people she knows stuff.

Thank you Glimbo. I watched this episodes ages ago and held no opinion on the dragon killing thousands scene past: "well she never seemed to care about the common folk anyway so it makes sense, and maybe she didn't want to risk being stopped". Now after watching your video I'm aware of its potential flaws, and thus the potential flaws of the writing staff in general, so my enjoyment of the show has been permanently hampered and I will never go into a new episode not wary off these kinds of missteps. Now I can finally be the perpetually annoyed ASOIAF nerd I was for so many years with Game of Thrones.

OH! So I just figured out the race for Aegon. Alicent demonstrated to her father that she had the power and connections to do it. So it ultimately wasn’t about the Aeg-uffin, just that Alicent has a team capable of capturing the flag, proving to Otto that she isn’t a pawn. Which is why he listens to her about the Rhaenyra thing.

The fact that I actually am watching this for the first time on Christmas made that Ser Criston joke so much better lol

“What’s a meta for?” And Schwiftos response always get a good chuckle out of me. That and the “you read the whole Wikipedia page of a hero’s journey?””well I skimmed it”

I actually preferred the book scene where it was Crispo calling the shots in the Green Council affair. Like kf it was characterized that he was deadly afraid of Rhaenyra being Queen too because she would strip him of his cloak which is all he has, and that he knew Aemond and Aegon best as their drill instructor. Here's he's really regulated to Alicent's attack dog, which I think really hurts potential depth. But alas😂
