    I love how in the earlier part of the episode they showed how even if the dragon isn’t completely bonded and under the control of the rider, it will always follow the command of dracarys in one go. Vhagar hesitating and refusing to follow the command initially shows how much Vhagar was emotionally bonded with Laena and the intensity of the bond between a rider and their dragon. Great writing.

    This was an amazing episode. And my heart is breaking about Harwin, and especially Laena. I sooo wish we'd had more time with them both. I wanted to see/hear about how Laena came to be Vhagar's rider; and see more of her relationships with both Rhaenyra & Daemon. But that last scene with her & Vhagar...the most powerful in the series. It was a cathartic contrast to the first episode, with Aemma’s life decided for her by men. Laena went out on her terms, with her she-dragon. And Vhagar’s reluctance to follow her command (the closed captions called her noises “wailing) thoroughly gutted me. It’s hours later and I still feel bummed. 😭

      Everything about this episode was way to rushed imo. They did a huge leap forward, but failed to show or explain how most of these events happened. How did Harwin father 3 kids with the princess, Daemon/Laena, and the things you mentioned. So much potential just skipped in the 10-15 years passed since the last episode, for what? Why this big jump in time? I think they should have added a couple of episodes between this and the previous one, to let the characters develop, build the relationships and give us time to get to know them before they get killed off. Oh well

      @@Mrlonefighter I agree. If you haven't read the relevant book chapters in Fire and Blood a lot of its terribly confusing. However I do understand they had to do the time jump as in the book nothing of significance really happens for a whole ten years (no one very important dies) aside from the secret affair and the birth of her three sons which wasn't worth having a whole episode for. The main event they are setting up for at the end of the season is the focus and if they were to include all these scenes the show would probably only start at season 2 with the "time jump".

    It's really sad because you can see Allicent helping create the situation she fears. She is conniving and treating Rhaenerya like shit, ensuring enmity between them. If she tried to make peace instead of dwelling on childhood drama it could help avoid war. She's so caught up in her own mania. She's putting her children in more danger by acting so hostile. It seems she cares more about propriety than her own family.

Surely he must have felt some compassion for her.

      @@blqest125 All they did was make the Velaryons black and somehow this "totally unrealistic politicized casting" is the show's "biggest problem". What on Earth?
      The casting is insignificant and doesn't really change anything. In fact, I would argue it makes the Velaryons more unique and identifiable to the casual audience. If everyone had white hair and pale skin, then a lot of new fans will likely get confused as to who belongs to which family. By having the Velaryons be black, it creates a clear discernable separation between the Targaryens and the Velaryons, and allows the dynamics between these two houses to be picked up more readily by the casual fan. How is this possibly the show's biggest problem?

In the books he did all he could to save her, flying maesters on his dragon, carried her body inside, sat vigil on her for days. But here he's almost cold with her. You can't live 8 10 years with her, fly around, have two children, and not love them

  • @DonHbankz
    @DonHbankz 2 роки тому +87

    A couple of things I want them to explain is why they made Daemon out to be ignoring one of his kids because she isn’t a dragon rider when they established in show and the books that his family means everything to him, why they deleted the scenes of Daemon comforting and talking to his daughter after Laena death, why Harwin was banish but Cole who for no reason attacked and killed a guest of the king at a wedding celebration has nothing happened to him. Changing Laena death for me isn’t as bad as some of the other changes I disagree with but I think it was pointless as her death in the books has exactly the same emotional weight if not more than the show. The scene of Daemon probably crying like he does in this ep carrying her lifeless body down the stairs would have been poignant and further characterise not only Daemon but his relationship with her as been loving both ways.

    • @paolagraciano5838

      I reckon Harwin wouldn't be expelled for his behavior, but what it represented in the midst of the rumors made Lyonel encourage him to leave for Harrenhal in order to preserve both of them. It was more Lyonel wanting to get Harwin away from KL than a punishment for beating Cole

      True. I was really disappointed with making thigs happen so fast and inconsistent.
      When it comes to adapting a novel and you change circumstances of acts this is where mistakes happen all the time. From novels we know that Cole harmed Joffrey during the knight tournament. But in the series he is attacking him on the wedding, which lead us to inconsistency with Harwin Strong. Such a pity. I hoped we would look into relationship between Rheanyra and Laena (as we know they were quite close and enjoyed dragonriding together). As from the perspective of everything happening now we see both Leana died wed to Daemon, Velaryon (spoiler alert) will die wed to Rheanyra and then both Deamon and Rheanyra will be married. If I was Velaryon I would be super suspicious 😅
      And deleting the scene with Deamon comforting his daughters was really disappointing 😞

    The acting is so spot on! Emma showcased a not morally virtuous yet still loved and loving heir while the Olivia version of Alicent just dives into that harsh evil character filled with bitterness and hate, all the while lacking the resolve to own up to the Larys murder (abid it wasn't her intention but imagine if she just acts as if that is her plan and deals with Larys later).
    The contrast between birth scenes, how not only have Aemma was powerless and Laena choose her own death; but the fact that Alicent was helpless and tied down with the child in earlier episodes, yet here we see a more mature Rhaenyra walks, schemes, collects intel, and makes strategic moves right after and not "shy away" due to medical complications is really the thing that I think sets this Rhaenyra apart.

    Emma and Olivia really played their roles well, you can see they've matured and now knows exactly how to handle the politics. That move with Rhaenyra offering her son for Alicent's daughter to marry is pretty amazing offer. It's no wonder Alicent married her daughter off to Aegon to keep her children at the Green side (and who would want her child to marry a bastard). Can't wait for Aeamon's development, I loved him in the books and I already seeing his obsession building! Well done to the directors, to the new cast and to the rest of the team. Can't wait for episode 7 🙌

    In the show Laena said that she was ok with not being the wife he actually wanted, that she learned to live with it… and we see that Daemon is just playing a role of a content husband.. he doesn’t want to go back home because he understands that there he won’t fight his urge to have Rhaenyra, fight for the Iron throne and he pretty much looks unhappy at this point, he doesn’t want to hurt Laena, because obviously she loves him a lot, and he is a man of honour after all, but If the went went back, he probably would let her down… so, I really like that he’s pretty much indifferent to her in the show, nevertheless he is respectful to her… In the show he must be loyal only to Rhaenyra, so screw the book, cuz so far the show is so popular exactly because of their love line!

    2:36 well this does not appear in the books but it is a great proposal. After all, Alicent would have a queen daughter after her and Rhaenyra. They based it on the dance scene between Jacaerys and Helaena. There are a shippeo on that. I even read a fanfic.

    Spoilers ahead:
    Another good foreshadowing is training boys, where Crispin clearly is trying to teach Alicents children to be ready for war that is coming and the Strong is just there not quite picking up on that he board is set, the pieces are moving already. What really made this episode for me is how it cemented my dislike of Alicent, from her being the conservative anti-lgbt and anti-feminist party to her not accepting Rhenyras proposal as a peace offering but as a sign of weakness. She really, really is set on starting a war. Still I did feel a twinge of sympathy for her when Larys ensured he has her in his grasp, and when she catched her son doing High jacking towards the entire city. :D
