This episode was amazing. Really enjoyed alot of the details. Aegon's rage at the death of his son, his carelessness when it comes to the ratcatchers, Otto's rage, Criston Cole's hypocrisy, and the Tragedy of the Cargyll Twins. This was absolutely fantastic.
@@aegorbittersteel2154 Thank you very much Ser. Today is going great! I thank you for the kind words and hope all goes well for you too! To The King! 🍻
Im pretty sure the Alicent/Cole stuff after her leaving Ageon crying was to further the metaphor wasnt it. Rhaynera, the lady who had the bastards, who said she never wanted kids etc but when one of hers dies shes traumatised and she hugs Jace after his brothers death, plays with her kids while at the height of war vs Alicent, the good noble lady who had legitimate kids, cant hug her son to comfort him, has another who needs a prostitute to provide love, whos first thought is to cover up her affair rather than comfort her daughter and second thought is continue the affair rather than comfort her son. Whos the dark and who the light here
The kingmaker may be a violent Thug but will always be confident with violence and show force. As long as you don't have him do anything diplomatic you'll be fine. He is a hammer, not a scalpel.
I really enjoyed most of this episode. I agree that the Alicent/Cole storyline is a bit of a waste and Cole is clearly a villain instead of a more morally complex character. Still, pretty much everything else worked for me in this episode. The duel of the Cargyll twins was both exciting and heartbreaking. 8/10 episode for me.
Not talking about strength. He talking about likability. he is the only likable in team green. They ruin criston and alicent and many more. Waiting for daeron@@tajaemartin2251
Did Alicent ever really have a loving connection with her children? To me it seemed that she was performing her duty as a brood mare. She didn't take the time to understand or comfort any of them.
Aegon is atragic character. Everyone uses or neglects him. The only one who really loved and cared Aegon was his Dragon Sunfyre. I want to see their bond in the show.
So about your opinion with the ratcatchers: At first, I was agreeing with the points you made. But once I thought about it a bit more, I realized, *that was the point*. The methods you suggested do make sense, and it's the kind of thing that Otto would have done to capture Cheese. But Aegon didn't, because that's not his nature. Instead of using Blood to identify Chese, he immediately beat him to death. Yes, he could also have had Helena identify Cheese, but to Aegon, the process of identifying Cheese from among the 100 ratcatchers would've taken too long. And he wanted results NOW and FAST. To make an impact. So killing all the ratcatchers on the spot is exactly the kind of rash thing Aegon would do, and perfectly hi-lights the differing approaches between him and Otto, leading to that final break.
Imo they have done Cole dirty. Maybe I am just too invested in my own interpretation of Fire and Blood, but I really don't like Cole being a one note villain. The first thing we learn about him is that he started a civil war and that Jamie thinks he was "the best and worst" of the Kings guard. I am not seeing that. I am seeing someone who is comically evil.
Yeah he's very unbelievable as a character. Joffrey and Ramsey you love to hate because they are so sadistic and twisted. With Criston is just feels comical, I can almost see the puppet strings of the writers trying to manipulate me into hating him
You could argue that Fire and Blood might be the greens propaganda. That’s why the greens in the show (that’s supposed to be “fact”) are much more evil than the greens in the book. But yeah, I don’t like that the show is the blacks propaganda at this point. They tried to make the blacks into the Starks and the greens into the Lannisters. The clear good vs evil.
One reading of Rhaenyra asking Baela to keep an eye on KL is that she knows Baela won't be reckless and try to fight Aemond if given the chance, whereas Jace may be tempted to do so. Rhaenyra also asks Baela to keep her distance and fly high.
Yet Baela herself also *is* reckless. It's a major aspect of her personality in F&B. It's also depicted in the show as well where she's being held back by Rhaena during the dinner scene in ep8. Then there's the deleted scene of her in ep10 urging Rhaenys to declare for Rhaenyra. While that scene may not be official, it goes to show how the writers view her character
@@browniebear I'd say she's more headstrong than reckless, particularly if we are speaking about that deleted scene. Either way, even if she is reckless, she wouldn't attack Vhagar/Aemond, but Jace might. If Aemond kills Rhaena or Jace, then yeah, Baela may be reckless enough to attack him, but right now she probably wouldn't, and Rhaenyra knows this.
I really liked the scene between Rhaenyra and Mysaria. It thought it was well written and acted and fleshed out tMysaria much more, which is lacking in the book. Placing it after the fight with Daemon was a great idea and seeing events from Mysaria's point of view, where she is able to go or rather forced to, to from camp to camp and having an ambiguous loyalty was great and confirming that her love for Daemon has long gone. It reminded me a little of how Shae was written in the book and I'm glad they didn't make her a carbon copy of Shae when bringing her to the screen. It was perfect that they chose her to identify Ser Erryk and exposing the plot, thereby solidifying her good nature. I'd like to think she and Rhaenerya will become closer after this and it will be a great dynamic of the two of them with Rhaenys leading the Black Council now that Daemon has left. I'm also impressed that for the first time we get to see the inner workings of the King's/Queen's Guard. We've seen members like Jamie, Barriston, Sandor and even Brienne, but we haven't really seen much of them acting together and how they perform within the order. From the trailer for next week, we'll see the first ever King's/Queen's Guard funeral, which will be fascinating as I don't think it's ever been described in the books before.
I like this episode but they have completely ruined Criston Cole for me he is completely evil. He’s kinda just there not really doing anything in the books he’s a tactical genius and general plus a skilled warrior. It was him that petitioned Aegon being King along with Alicent.
Comepletly disagree w/ the hipocracy being unrealistic for cole. Look at like a good portion of rulers and lords and people in the church ect. all throughout history
This episode was definitely better. I loved daemon ignoring the question if he accepted her as his queen and ruler. Next week should be daemon focused, I can’t wait.
I’ve been saying this since season 1, the show’s version of Criston Cole is such a awful adaptation of the character and season 2 has done a great job at surpassing my already low expectations for the character lmao
the episode is really good because is equal to the book and in fact they upgrade the twins and Cole arc the only critic maybe is the dialogue of Aemond and the "mommy", they literally saying "dont kill smallfolk and dont be angry" get what he is gonna do hahaha
I really don’t think Baelon fathered bastards, even after Alyssa died he denied his younger sister. It says he always talked of his loves for his wife with mismatched eyes and a crooked nose. I couldn’t imagine it would add those lines for him to deny his sister and cause her death, as to not disrespect Alyssa.
From what we have seen of him in the first two episodes, i feel like they are trying to make Hugh Hammer a more likable character. Hopefully they are gonna use him as a tool to show how power (vermithor) can change a good person even though that is not how he was in the book
In my opinion, I thought this was the best episode of all season one and now season two. Over 70 Minutes, excellent! For me, I rate it a 9 out 10💯🔥🇺🇸 rewatch 5 times on Max
10:00 im not sure but i guess Alyn is elder because his scars in the face has see the sea war of Corlys so he is the rightful leader of ships, Addam is young and brave so he is the adventurer dragonrider.
Dawg it blows my mind how many people haven’t realized that the brothel madame, Silvi? Sylvi? is the same woman from retrieving Aegon, she mentions she took aemonds virginity, or at least alludes to it. and saying Aegon brutally and quickly reacting by killing the rat catchers, the guy who rapes and jacks off out of windows and hates his own wife, is out of character, seems like, insane, I think a lot of people over estimate and project their own ideas of morality onto this series, people are more vast than archetypes and I think this season does a great job of that, some people are just bad, some people are good, Criston never once seemed like a morally ambiguous hero to me in the book, though he was more forceful of his own wishes. Characters are not what we invent in our minds, even in our history, a lot of modern heroes are truly deplorable humans, yet we decide everyday to construct narratives sidestepping that, Fire & Blood is that narrative, this is the view of what reality could be.
O gosh... Jace is heir of Rhaenyra. Baela is NOT. End of story. No need to analyze it. Baela doesn't seem shocked by her step-mother decision, she seems content she can be of use. I wonder if people would act the same if Baela was boy and Jacaerys was girl...? It simply shows how much gender roles are ingrained in modern people brain, so they are surprise girl is sent on mission boy was denied to go.
As much as I’ve enjoyed house of the dragon and asoif I think it’s easy for people to forget that not everyone engaging with the show has read the books and watched videos on the show and many of the excellent lore videos on this channel. That this is a television show that is going to be watched by 95%+ non book enjoyers and that when we go into discussions we tend to forget that. We discuss about what are big things to us, the loss of ambiguity, certain characters being fleshed out or not fleshed out, characters that may be cut or not exist in the adaptation (Maelor at the moment and for a long time possibly daeron). And then you interact with someone like a family member who says something like “why is Aemond’s eye blue?”. For all the discussions of pacing and everything and wanting things to be more fleshed out I think it’s easy to forget that adding more stuff would make more people just check out entirely, if we had seen Alicents royal wedding in season one, or the relationship with Harwin strong, or more screen time with arryk and Erryk or Aegons children before b&c, already long episodes would be even longer or split up across more episodes and the already slow burn of this show would be even slower and lose a lot of the appeal to the general audience. A part of me has to wonder having not been old enough to participate in any discourse during the golden age of AGOT how people reacted to the characters being cut there, no three finger hob and no Auriane Waters, no witch of highhart, Mance just being straight up killed, no visit to Acorn hall in ASOS, the type of changes that have seen really negative reactions from the community during this adaptation but that the general audience has no clue even occurred, the amount of articles I’ve seen written explaining the difference between the show and the books for b&c is insane. There is always going to be a disconnect between show and book enjoyers especially in a world and series as massive as ASOIF.
This episode is my favorite by far this season… The fight between the twins, that had me in tears when it was over… For the Watch & the Lord Commander!! Here here for Brother Bittersteel!! Aegons anger & temper when he was destroying his fathers Model of Old Valyria… Was acted damn good!!! “My son is my LEGACY!!” When he strips Otto his own damn grandfather of The hand of the King title was one of my favorite scenes with Rhys, he’s such a damn good actor.. Cole tried to act like he was all big & bad ass By trying to curb the way He was addressing his King but Otto cut through that like Sir Barristan Selmy cut his way to Melys the Monstrous During the war of the Nine Penny kings.. “The king is my grandson & my grandson is a FOOL!!” “Is that what you think? He was right about you” We got to see some shades of Tywin Lannister when he said those words.. I enjoyed seeing Daemon stand his grown and be 100% himself when he said it was a mistake cause he was being honest.. The way he slapped the cup off the table across the room before he walked up to his wife .. Phenomenal acting from both Matt Smith & Emma… Cole is really a walking pile of Excrement for trying to shift blame for the beheading of the heir the throne .. That poor boy!! I also liked how they showed Cheese hanging & the dog was upset that he was dead .. I hope you enjoyed this Episode mi’lord !! Next week we take Harrenhall !!! Loved how Mysaria (apologies if I misspelled her name.. interacted with the Queen.. early for shadowing.
More dragon scenes? Is that so much to ask for? Im surprised there isn't more complaints about this. We get the same garbage, here's cyrax! here's a glimpse of sunfire & dreamfire! Yeah alright HBO you should focus more on the dragons & less on the filler.
I really find the scenes with Ser Criston and Queen Alicent really just unnecessary. The show really misses the nuances of the medieval mindset Westerosi people live and think in. I was hoping this series would just plunge the viewer right into it, without apology, but no, not really. But this is HBO, so... : /
Cole is better now in this episode than as SEXDOLL i feel they waste as character on the fact he is Hand only because Aegon wants a warrior not because is Cole, the scene makes me feel they are using (again) Cole as an object not a person. And the other reason, they waste Cole as a sword fighter we see him ONCE fighting or even i would watch Criston talking with Aegon/Aemond BUT ALL HIS SCENES ARE SMASHING ALICENT I DONT CARE AT ALL
They made Criston and Alicent too evil. Alicent didn’t even get a chance to be gagged and bound while witnessing Blood and Cheese. Plus, their relationship should have been about mutual respect, not sexual.
Absolutely, that was the impression I got of Cole and Alicent from Fire and Blood. If there was anything between them, it was chaste and not sexual. A knight's devotion to his liege and family doesn't have to be sexual to be real and true. The show really misses the nuances of the medieval mindset Westerosi people live and think in. I was hoping this series would just plunge the viewer right into it without apology, but no, not really :/
Alicent is WAAAAY more evil in the book, she's not evil in the show at all. She's a hypocrite and her family is dysfunctional AF but Alicent herself seems to be just doing her best. It's everyone around her being stupid vicious cruel and manipulative.
I think why they did not have the rat catchers idedtify is that to show aegon reacting emointal and send a message which is dumb but i think i otto points it out how killing them all was a bad idea as well killing blood but pure emotions i think they did not do what you say
The show destroyed every argument that it self presented for team green. There's literally no reason to be team green unless you enjoy those characters more
Otto choking up at the memory of Viserys got me. Also Otto roasting Aegon was inspiring.
Won’t be the only time in Aegon’s life that he got roasted though

Rhys Ifans was the highlight of this episode. Such a powerhouse. I do hope they expand his role - his death felt really lacklustre in the book.

I agree man they really made the Kingmaker a dumb hypocritical brute. They butchered CC’s character. I love these videos man you’re killing it.
No they didn't. He was unlikable either way. In both the book and the show.

Aegon carrying team green on his back is crazy.
He dont carry team green, aemond does with vhagar
@tajaemartin2251 eh I don't know
Last season SURE but as of ep2 aegons characters has grown significantly.
Aemond was barely in this episode which I don't mind considering the fact that of all the kids in the show, he was given the most to do last season.
Not talking about strength. He talking about likability. he is the only likable in team green. They ruin criston and alicent and many more. Waiting for daeron@@tajaemartin2251
Did Alicent ever really have a loving connection with her children? To me it seemed that she was performing her duty as a brood mare. She didn't take the time to understand or comfort any of them.

Where the hell is harrold westerling is all i wanna know now.
I think why they did not have the rat catchers idedtify is that to show aegon reacting emointal and send a message which is dumb but i think i otto points it out how killing them all was a bad idea as well killing blood but pure emotions i think they did not do what you say
The show destroyed every argument that it self presented for team green.
There's literally no reason to be team green unless you enjoy those characters more
Both are equally bad that’s the moral of the story
I now support Greens because they're trying so hard to make me dislike them
The greens are brutal
