1. Alicent isn't dumb. There were only 3 Aegons at this point. Viserys never spoke to Alicent about the SOIAF so she wouldn't get the reference and know that he was talking about Aegon I aka Aegon the Conqueror (who has been dead for a VERY long time) and not their son, Aegon II. Additionally, the ITE for that episode explains that Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenrya who WOULD have gotten the reference. Alicent was working with the information she had at the time. 2. There are a LOT of Targaryen bastards running around. Most people remember kings at the time of their death; as old men, but they were once young, virile princes who sampled many fair maidens and women who were not so fair. 3. We met the Brackens and the Blackwoods in Season 1 when Rhaenyra was sent on a tour of the Seven Kingdoms to find a husband. 4. People change their minds all the time. Aegon the Unworthy, on his deathbed, legitimized all of his bastards. Nobody said, "Well he didn't do it all these years, it doesn't count." He said it, he was king, it was done. That's the bottom line. Viserys was king up until the moment he took his last breath, if he wanted to change his mind, he was free to do so. 5. Viserys being delusional does NOT matter. Aerys was LITERALLY called the "Mad King" but people still followed his orders even though they thought he was insane. He was the king. That's the bottom line.
An interesting detail is Alicent's brother calling Criston Dornish. Dorne at this point isn't yet under the Iron Throne. The Coles were apparently are from a place where the Dornish, Reach, & Stormlands have been fighting for ages so: 1: G Hightower is kinda saying Cole is currently his enemy 2: Cole's family probably had some forbidden love drama, which might explain a lot about his character
Aegon is willing to send OTHERS to fight for him. He is only fighting for his pride and his rage. He never makes honorable decisions for the good of the realm. Aemond is more honorable. Though he is a whirlwind, HE fights for his family. . Like his uncle he fights for his family.
Bracken and Blackwood are 2 House’s of the Riverlands that have hated eachother for a long time! In season 1 we saw a Blackwood Boy kill a Bracken young man in episode 3 I believe
What? Daeron (and now also Tessarion) mentioned again in this episode? Let's gooooo 🗣️🗣️ Perhaps we might get a short glimpse of him by the end of the season. (I'm being delusional 😬 knowing too well that Ryan kept him for S3)
I did and I just completely forgot to keep it in when editing, I was also exhausted when I got to the end. My bad on that and will be sure to include it next time. - Cam
i thought I hated Otto. I thought he was just a self serving climber. Now I am beginning to see what his concerns were. Now I understand his motives better.
Rhaena’s egg is supposed to be pink. I wish they would stop pushing Dany’s eggs so much and focus on the character that’s actually alive during this time
Why you bringing Daenerys into it? And as if she herself didnt say “I do not wish to be the queen of ashes” She would be acting more like Rhaenyra. Stop with this revisionist history making Dany out to be some cruel & violent ruler. S7 & S8 were OOC and we all know that. She’s only been violent when evil people were violent first. Be SO serious.
please give a spoiler warning that you guys are already sullied and when about to spoil stuffs... I paused when you guys said "battle of harrenhal" sighhhh
They don’t know any spoilers.... what are you even talking about...? They only referred to things that happened in GOT or previous HotD episodes. . . ?
I find this season top tier. Better than I expected.
Now Rhaenyra can move forward with FULL conviction that she is right to claim the throne - even with all out WAR!
Cam, I am so proud of your knowledge!!😂 killing it. As a book reader you’re picking up the right stuff
Alicent: “It’s too late, Rhaenyra.”
Rhaenyra: “Crimson Sky, it is.”

40:00 Dragonstone is an island across the bay from Kingslanding. It’s like 5-6 hours by boat

Aegon is actually willing to fight for his throne and family unlike Joffery
Yes Joffrey was a coward. I wish his death had been more painful and at the hands of a Stark.
You defending a grapist is crazy aegon is literally not likeable lmao the show made that clear
Aegon is willing to send OTHERS to fight for him.
He is only fighting for his pride and his rage. He never makes honorable decisions for the good of the realm.
Aemond is more honorable.
Though he is a whirlwind, HE fights for his family. . Like his uncle he fights for his family.
@@Persephone_Personified Oh Ok Thank you for the clarification.
@@tajaemartin2251y’all defend Daemon lmao
Dragonstone is in blackwater bay. A day by boat at most, hours or even minutes by dragon.
Bracken and Blackwood are 2 House’s of the Riverlands that have hated eachother for a long time!
In season 1 we saw a Blackwood Boy kill a Bracken young man in episode 3 I believe
Harrenhal is thought to be haunted in the books
Of those 4 dragon eggs, 3 of them become Dany’s eggs!
Show’s director or showrunner confirmed it!
I did the same thing 😂 clicked on season one somehow
That music leading up to Daemon arriving was PERFECT
Just a music nerd here - vibin
Dragon stone is only a day or two tops from KL.
Not even, it’s like a few hours by ship even shorty if you fly
Maybe a day or two if you’re row-boating your way across
HEY YALL
Without the first season that ending scene wouldn’t hit fr
Ugh I can’t stand the Greens 😂 I love the shade between Crispy Cole and Alicent’s brother
What? Daeron (and now also Tessarion) mentioned again in this episode? Let's gooooo 🗣️🗣️
Perhaps we might get a short glimpse of him by the end of the season. (I'm being delusional 😬 knowing too well that Ryan kept him for S3)
He wont be in season 2 he was not casted neither is nettles
Daemond beat Alicent brother in the first season episode 1.
rhaenyra is so beautiful it’s distracting at times lolol #teamrhaenyra for life 🗡️🖤
Rhaenas dragon was supposed to be vhagar once she claimed her but aemond won her over and now she is dragonless
No she wasnt supposed to inherit it. Dragons choose their riders.
They arent passed down generationally like a crown.
@@vivashvanbhushan3422 so had she tried to claim vhagar sooner, she wouldn’t have chosen baela?
@@franzk798 nope. Otherwise vhagar wouldve rejected aemond.
They domt know what the royals look like even less than we know what our state city Mayors, senators and district directors look like.
I which yall would've screenrecorded when looking at the map. Not necessary but it would've been much appreciated.

i thought I hated Otto. I thought he was just a self serving climber. Now I am beginning to see what his concerns were. Now I understand his motives better.
He is self serving 😊but he is not dumb that makes him enjoyable
Aemond claimed his cousin's mother's dragon the night of her funeral. Really?!!
He did
Alys Rivers: “You will die in this place.”
And that’s it folks. It’s all over. RIP Daemon.
no one cares about the book my guy, be an annoying book reader somewhere else
@@IIIIAmSHODAN I’m talking about what she said in this episode, not about any book.
Sadly when he does with you know who i wont care for this show anymore 😂
Daemon not dying this season, him and aemond not dying this season
@@nont18411what she said in the episode wont matter this season
Rhaena’s egg is supposed to be pink. I wish they would stop pushing Dany’s eggs so much and focus on the character that’s actually alive during this time
The clowns are back 😂
Dont call us clowns. It hurts our feelings.

I'm afraid of what alicent will say to Rhaenyra. doesn't she know the consequences of hers words? it's about hers lineage. I'm really scared. 🤦🤦😑
