I believe that it's crucial to understanding the show and characters going forward that the big deal was that Rhaenyra had sex and was caught more than it being her uncle. Part of that being that Alicent takes her duties very seriously, as would most girls raised in the way she was. On top of all that, Alicent is deeply devout and prays to her mother quite regularly. Rhaenyra in the moment swore on her own dead mother in an attempt to convince Alicent that she had not been "sullied." It's a bit like Sansa. Everyone gave her shit for being into Joffrey before he showed his true colors without contextualizing that she was born and raised a lady.
It's also important to remember that, like Viserys & Alicent were saying, her being "sullied" does matter. She is the heir to the Iron Throne. If there is any doubt over her virtue (or the legitimacy of any future offspring), it could destabilize the succession. A bastard son, even if Daemon is the father, would be a disaster. Remember when the Seven Kingdoms went to war over the rumour that Joffrey was a bastard? The lords of Westeros are already skeptical of a female heir. Giving them any more reason to prefer Aegon is Bad News for Rhaenyra.
That dagger they keep showing, the one that has a message in it while heated up, is the same dagger that started GoT. Littlefinger’s dagger, catspaw. The dagger Arya used to off the night king.
I’m so conflicted by Daemon. I think he genuinely loves his brother and Rhaenyra. But I think he also wants the throne and tried to seduce Rhaenyra in public to force his brother’s hand. A complicated man.
Daemon is basically one of those Game of Thrones fans who bought a bunch of Targaryen merch. He doesn't want to be king, necessarily; he wants to Make House Targaryen Great Again. And if Viserys isn't going to do it, he's happy to pick up the slack. In a perfect world, I think he wants his brother Viserys to be a strong, powerful King, while he serves as Hand. They could rule Westeros together, and no one would ever question the superiority of House Targaryen again.
I don’t think he wants to be king. His main ambition is his brother’s approval. He even says it when Viserys is scolding him in the throne room. He’s upset that Viserys seemingly tries to isolate him from anything of importance. Like when he says he wants to be Viserys’ hand, he’s not saying it out of ambition. He’s saying it out of a deep wanting for his brother to allow him to be by his side and have a life of importance to his family. People just think Daemon “wants the throne” Because of his attitude lol. He’s cocky, and he’s an asshole. But he’s effective, and Viserys never once utilizes him. That’s also the reason Daemon wanted to deal with the steppestones without Viserys’ help. Not to undermine his brother, but to prove himself to his brother, in his own way.
Hi, I was watching your breaking bad reactions, and I was wondering if you plan on watching Better Call Saul any time soon? sorry if it is annoying to get this questions on random videos.
We currently do not have plans to watch BCS, our reactors only have so much free time to react to one series at a time. With Whitney deep in the office reactions and Bliss doing HOTD, we had to put BCS on the back burner for now. Thank you so much for the question though!
We will! We have had a lot of life things happening the last few weeks and haven’t been able to keep up with editing. But we will be dropping the episodes soon!
As much as I love that idea, Mp and Whitney have never watched GOT or HOTD. So that wouldn’t fully work with our S2 recording plans. BUT we are in talks to have both squads react to something together! - Jammie
I think the point of the Moon Tea is that now she knows her father didn't believe her. She's definitely drinking it.
For first time in life im rooting for uncle and niece. Least im not alone in this thought. Not sure if thats good or bad. Omg! Lol

Ew do not compare Sansa with Alicent. The disrespect to the queen in the north
The show improves in ep 5 onwards, best episodes come ahead.

I wonder, do you have any plans for the whole gang to do reactions? Like Pat and Whitney with you on Season 2?
As much as I love that idea, Mp and Whitney have never watched GOT or HOTD. So that wouldn’t fully work with our S2 recording plans. BUT we are in talks to have both squads react to something together! - Jammie
