I feel like Jace being aggressive and direct towards Luke was a response to them both seeing Aemond train with Criston and just easily pushing Jace to the floor with one arm in episode 8
Yea remember this episode happened not long after episode 8 so that scuffle is still fresh it's especially frustrating for jace as in his mind he's the future king and he's getting pushed to the ground like a child and can't throw a decent punch aemond clearly got to him .
@Ali Chaudhry jace in episode 8 : "a king should honer the traditions of his forebears " he may not throw much of a punch but he has the heart and mind of a true king , aemond is just a over compensating manchild who got a kid killed for no reason and started a war , people only like aemond because he just happened to take vhegar and has daemon like personality but for aemond it's just to hide his inferiority complex and entitlement he's no more fit to be king then aegon he's just more of an asshole.
@Ali Chaudhry if he lost you now you won't like him later 😂and trust me if they stay faithful jace is going to be the mvp of the blacks along with daemon.
The baby was a stillbirth, that's why she wanted it out. There were no C-Sections so she had to get that baby out pronto. The childbirth scenes, while absolutely horrific, are exactly what Aemma said in the very first episode. The woman's battlefield.
You could see the umbilical cord wrapped around baby Visenyas neck. I think Rhaenyra knew she wasn’t giving birth to an alive baby, that’s why she was trying to pull her out. RIP littlest dragon 🐉 Both Erryk and Arryk are whitecloaks. Arryk is Aegons sworn shield. Like Criston was to Rhaenyra. Erryk is the good brother who let Rhaenys out and stole Viserys crown.
I think it is Erryk who was sworn to Aegon. Erryk spent a lot of time around him and knew about his bastards and his actions that's why he choose Rhaenyr; he saw with his own eyes that Aegon is not fitted to be the king. Meanile, his brother was like i'll just follow rules because it's my job.
Another indication of Rhynera's selfishness. Killed the baby to save herself. Not me mention the selfishness of killing a guard so she can marry. Or the selfishness of not understanding Cole's vows and offer.
13:57 both of their dragons stopped obeying them. Visery said early in the season that it is a illusion that they control dragon. This is a example. Aemond was just trying to be a antagonizing ass and Lucerys was just trying to get away. But then Lucery attacked Vhagar and Vhagar got pissed and killed then.
Rhaenyra lost her father, her birthright, and two children. In her mind, the Greens are to blame for each of these. The betrayal by someone she considered a trusted friend. This is why she goes from peace-seeker to warmonger. Can’t wait for second season in 2024😭 thanks for the reactions! Salamat po!
The baby was supposed to be her only daughter. She was gonna name it Visenya…after the conqueror’s older, badass sister. Same name she wanted to name her brother when she thought Aemma was gonna have a girl. But the news drove her into a rage and the baby came a month early. It was malformed and had scales and a tail. Even knowing that Lukey was gonna die, it made the build up even worse. The dread. Poor baby. It was interesting that it turned out that the dragons took their own actions instead of what we’ve always just assumed thinking Aemond meant to kill his nephew. But no one will believe him. Cuz he’s a bit of a psycho. The writers have been confused why people love Daemon and I hope the whole domestic violence thing against Rhaenyra will make people realize more what a malicious character he can be. Cuz the whole wonton murder thing in episode one didn’t make people bat an eye.
The actual finale is actually ep9 based off the end of the fire and blood book. Ep 10 is the beginning of A Dance with Dragons book and would be cover the rest in S2 which is the civil war. it's gonna be a dragon fest next season so get excited hehe
The shock sent her into premature labour. She couldn't do anything at that point but give birth knowing her baby wouldn't/ couldn't survive it. She 100% wanted her daughter & was devastated by the loss. The paper was the one she ripped from the book in episode 1. It was about Nymeria fleeing before the situation got worse. It was 100% supposed to be a "look we were so close once" as well as trying to manipulate her into not fighting back.
11:20 No, Daemon is not claiming that Dragon, because no Targaryen or Dragon Lord can claim more than one Dragon. what Daemon is doing is visiting the caves of Dragonstone to check the status of the riderless Dragons on the island, in this case it is Vermithor, the Dragon of his grandfather King Jahaerys I.
@@BrendanBeckett No my friend, Aegon I Targaryen, "The Conqueror", only had one Dragon as a mount, like every Targaryen/Dragon Lord that ever existed, that Dragon was Balerion "The Black Terror". The other two Targaryen Dragons that they possessed during the time of the conquest, were Vhagar and Meraxes, which were the mounts of Aegon I's sisters/Wives, Visenya and Rhaenys (Not to be confused with the actual Rhaenys Targaryen in the current timeline from House of the Dragon). The Three would have these Dragons as their only mounts until the end of each of their lives (Balerion and Vhagar would have more Targaryen riders after the deaths of Aegon I and Visenya, but Meraxes died alongside his rider Rhaenys in the Wars with dorne). As for Daenerys Targaryen, her situation is special: no Dragon Egg had hatched in more than a century, and the three who were born in the Fire with Daenerys did so from a Fire and Blood Spell, and therefore the three they hatched at the same time and Daenerys was their Master and "Mother", unlike any common birth from an egg bestowed on a Targaryen of the past. But if you realize, both in the books and in the series, despite the fact that Daenerys' three Dragons (Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion) are loyal to her, the only Dragon she takes as a mount is Drogon, because at Despite the unique situation in which her dragons were born and bonded to her, the rule that a Targaryen dragonrider can only have ONE Dragon as a mount still holds and Daenerys cannot escape it, therefore she cannot ride neither of the other two Dragons, even though they are loyal to her. For example, during battles, the two Mountless Dragons, Viserion and Rhaegal, follow her into battle, but they only follow what Drogon, her alpha brother, does, and Drogon is the only one who follows Daenerys' orders, since that Drogon is Dany's only Mount, in other words, Viserion and Rhaegal only follow their Alpha Dragon. Of course, that does not mean that they were not attached to Daenerys, she was their "Mother", but she did not give them any orders in the air or on the ground, because she was not a rider of either of them. Also, then Jon Snow (a bastard Targaryen) would take Rhaegal as a mount, because he had NO rider.
The big dragon with Daemon was Vermithor, Good King Jaeherys’s dragon. Daemon and Aegon’s grandfather. The king in the first episode. Vermithor is the second largest dragon in the world.
1)I keep thinking that Rhaenyra's first son is Sir Christen Cole's kid. 2) I think we will see Daemon scared of Rhaenyra at least once next season, and this may be if and when she gets her hands on Aemond. Only Sir Christen got a chance to be how physically brutal she can be with the boar, aka wild pig, she killed during the hunt. Rhaenyra is on the hunt. Aemond has been affiliated with a pig twice this season. We just saw Rhaenyra survive what her mother and sister in law didn't. When she gave birth to her 3rd child she walked the halls of the castle to the queens quarters to be with her baby to protect it, when she should have been resting and celebrating. She now just lost 2 children, learned about the lost of her father, and acquired the role as queen. Instead of grieving her stillborn, instead of grieving her father's loss, and instead of celebrating her ascention she is being asked to consider the future of the realm at the risk to her life and the lives of those she loves. She can still ride her own dragon, and now has dominion over other dragons and dragon riders. Poor Aemond. Poor Otto. Poor Aegon II. We don't know your future, but given what you've done and to whom you've done it-I cannot say you don't deserve what's coming, but I will weep for you.
Yeah, Aemond wasn’t trying to kill him, the two dragons disobeyed their riders and just did what they wanted for that moment. It looked like Aemond only wished to scare and bully him, I don’t even think he would really take out his eye (but that’s just my opinion)
@@Deanie_o Vhaegar* Syrax is Rhaenyra's dragon. Easy mistake to make tho, there's so many god damn names in this show it's hard to keep track lmao. Especially since so many of them are so similar.
True but it doesn’t matter. That’s the theme of this show. Some characters get away with stuff and maybe face the consequences later. Some people face consequences immediately. It literally depends on what your last name is.
Now that rhaenyra will want war because her son is dead , she and daemon will be on the same page now because daemon was upset that she was stopping him from killing the hightowers plus he learned his brother never took him serious as heir that’s why he snapped
The page was ripped out of a book about Nymeria, the warrior-queen who led the Rhoynar refugees to Dorne. They loved reading this book together when they were young.
*Aemond* *Is* *Still* *A* *Kid* We tend to forget Aemond is only about 15 or 16. I've seen the memes with Martin Lawrence and that Aemond looks like he's mf-ing 30 but we forget he's still just a kid. So the look in Aemond's face after Vhagar chomped on Arrax was like, OH S--T, I JUST F--KED UP. He feels the responsibility of killing someone for the FIRST TIME. Luke is like breaking his cherry at killing. Aemond has ZERO experience participating in a war, let alone, killing multiple MEN like Daemon and Corlys have. He may look like a BADASS and I personally think he should take off his eye patch to show us his sapphire eye. But at the end of the day, he is just a kid. The change making it into he didn't intend to kill Lucerys starts to make more sense. The writers are reminding us he's not a cold-blooded killer but a kid who does stupid kid stuff that triggers Rhaenyra to go to war.
Rhaenyra doesn’t mind daemon choking her she knows he’s impulsive and that he’s grieving, daemon wants war and she’s being passive ( I’m not justifying his actions I’m just giving context that she’s not upset about what he did) we literally see them holding hands at the end, they are still married
The finale was epic and the love the ponytail your wearing and the crown/tiara and the necklace and dress so fancy!, also love the title 😂 and yeah enjoyed this reaction very much ❤❤❤ 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I wonder how anyone can be "disappointed" by this season finale. Excellent first season and fantastic final episode .. and I say this as a reader of the book
Looks like Aemond needs to rewatch how to train your Dragon a few more times , great acting from Ewan Mitchell at the end he says so much with no dialogue his look that says " Oh fuck "
The translation has been confirmed thanks to the language's creator, David J. Peterson (via Archive Of Our Own). In it, it is revealed that the name of the song Daemon sings to Vermithor is "With Three Heads". Check the English translation: Fire breathes, winged leader but two heads For a third to sing From my voice: The fires spoke And the price has been paid with blood magic With words of fire with clear eyes To tie the three for you i sing As one we come together And with three heads We'll fly like we were meant to beautifully, freely
Love your videos Monica, I was excitedly awaiting your reaction. To clear up the baby’s situation, she was a premature birth induced by stress. The maester said that Rhaenyra was too early into pregnancy for a birth. Even in the scene the baby looked not fully developed fam I the only one whose never felt such “uneasiness” watching tv. Even in GOT the most gruesome scenes couldn’t compare) the parallels Between Rhaenyra and Her mothers scenes are amazing, love how hard the writers are working (except these huge times skips).
The period before Jacerys death was called the war of Ravens and envoys both sides just wanted to get as many Allie’s as possible to have a strong hand in negotiations for peace. Once Jacerys is killed everything goes to shit and it all escalated in terms of atrocities. We’re in for a wild 3 more seasons.
This didn’t feel like a finale at all but fair enough, I see what they are trying to do with the build up. Love your videos so much and I’m so excited to see what shows you do next (proud of you for continuing to do all those on going shows that was crazy 👏🏼)
This season and episode was great. I'm a sucker for good dialogue and buildup and that's what this was all about. From what I've read without spoilers, the main story started at ep 6 with the big 10 yr time jump but the writers wanted to give more background so we get the relationships/motivations of a lot of characters. S1 was never going to be all out war. That will be S2 and beyond. This was just exposition like the earlier seasons of GOT. We should be getting at least 4 seasons and I'm hype.
Amazing reaction and Issa look😍💗the ending really shocked me 😳 how can they leave us like that wth 🤦🏽♀️ and when is the next season coming out? I’m guessing not for a while And Rhaenyra might turn very savage after all she’s been through 😫
In the book Aemond he kills Luke and because he wanted not to and as he is showing in the series that he is sorry, the name of Rhaenyra's baby would be a girl and her name would be visenya Rhaenyra wasn't dreaming of a dragon giving birth. Her own dragon, Syrax, was screaming in pain at her because they are so bonded. If you notice during the Battle of the Stepstones, Caraxes screams when Daemon is hit by an arrow. this shows how Rhaenyra and Daemon have a great connection with their dragons. Rhaenyra's anger burns the whole transition was so well done, her anger is completely justified compared to how they made Daenarys Daemon as crazy as it gets, he loved his brother. From the scene where he stopped Corlis talking shit about Viserys in ep 1, helping on the throne to mourning on the beach. I don't think Daemon wanted to show weakness because Rhaenyra was at her most vulnerable in childbirth and it wasn't easy.. (His last wife died in childbirth, and I believe it is also said that his mother died in childbirth and his wife Viserys died in childbirth.) So the only thing he could do was prepare for the war he knew was coming. The scene on the beach was much longer of him on the beach Matt the actor he shot a scene on the beach the daemon suffering from the death of his baby who was a girl and her name was the series visenya but HBO preferred to remove this scene the daemon he is not no saint anymore he loves his family he loves his children and really rhaenyra only unfortunately the writers prefer not to show that side of him much, i think the reason daemon didnt go to rhaenyra when she was giving birth is because he feared having to make an impossible choice. The last woman he had complications with died. He didn't want to have to make that choice for Rhaenyra. He couldn't lose her that way. When he dropped to his knees, he was relieved that she was okay and had survived. Rhaenyra didn't want help during the birth because of her mother's death. She wanted to get that baby out so she wouldn't suffer the same fate. This series/book is awesome... Matt Smith said that Daemon would give his life for Viserys and Rhaenyra. I fully believe he was heartbroken to see his brother in that condition.
Uhm what? This clearly sets up the war and to show a glimpse of what dragons v dragons is gonna be. It's clear that your opinion is heavily influenced by Twitter whose stans hated this episode because of petty reasons. Do not listen too much to them it will ruin your experience. Aemond chasing Luke off and not actually trying to kill him is not out of character, it is a change from the book but it still makes sense. And they are saving a very delicate event for EP1 of S2 so they had to end it on this note
Yeah honestly it felt like she saw the spoilers on Twitter and it lead to her coming in with tainted takes. Which has definitely happened to me at points, but the point stands.
Dany said (with one minor mistake) zaldrīzes buzdāri iksos daor. A dragon is not a slave. Dragons are like lions and tigers. They’re cool to people they’re cool with. But they’re still predators who can turn on you and do their own thing. Though I don’t think there’s been a case where a dragon has killed its own rider.
Jace is still remembering Aemond dominating him the night before & Aegon doing the same (actually worse) to Luke. Jace is trying to get Luke & himself up to the Green boys standard so they don't get whooped again. Jace is future King in his mind & he's frustrated that he got pushed to the ground like a little child. It was not weeks later either idk where you got that from, this episode starts on the same day or the very day after Rhaenys escaped. She flew straight to Dragonstone & her dragon is massive & flies fast plus Dragonstone isn't very far away in Dragon flight time. Jace wasn't being "mean" he was being tough for their Training. Nothing outside that scene shows Jace rude to Luke or pushing him around or anything. He was training his little brother. Daemon & the council were not taking advantage of Rhaenyra giving birth. They were being realistic planning the defense of the island. Literally Green Assassins or soldiers or even all 4 Green Dragons could appear right behind Rhaenys at any moment. Planning defenses & preparing to secure alliances is what was needed in that moment. Considering the Greens were planning this in advance & got to the other High Lords first it was extremely important Daemon & company try playing catch up as quickly as possible. We see clearly everyone on the council Daemon included bend the knee to her & accept her as Queen. Daemon is even loyal to her son Jace & as beein proclaiming him heir to the Throne not any of his kids with Rhaenyra. Based on the fact Rhaenyra didn't want any help I'm guessing she wouldn't allow Daemon to help either. I understand it's harsh that he wasn't there but I'm of the opinion that settling the Island defenses to protect his Wife the Queen & the potential healthy baby she might have is far more important. What's the point being there for Rhaenyra if an Assassin or troops show up to kill them all anyway & they're caught flat footed. Dog that baby was like 3 months premature. The Maidens & That maester pointed like out. I think the baby had the umbilical cord around it's throat too. And it looks deformed or something around the head though that might just be birth gunk idk. But there was no chance a baby that premature being birth solely because of the stress put on the mom was surviving. And yea, likely a still birth. But no she didn't want that to happen. Daemon choked her in attempt to snap her out of this stupid stale/inaction taking attitude she has that's like her father. It was literally a weakness of his & it's the reason a war will start now. His inaction allowed the Greens to gain this power. Daemon doesn't want a similar fate to fall on her. He's also lashing out a little for feeling overlooked again by his brother not telling him this secret dragon dream. I mean let's really consider this here, the entire reason they let Laenor leave & risked turning Corlys & Rhaenys against them is because she needed Daemon to help her against the Greens. I mean she literally says "I need you uncle I can not face the Greens alone". He agrees & now the time is here, these fuckers have usurped the Iron Throne, basically spitting on Viserys grave, and she's considering accepting the Greens terms? Basically surrendering? I'd be pissed off if I were Daemon as well. She's literally being naive to the point of stupidity just like her dad. Daemon was preparing for this fight the moment they married because that's what she needed him for & he feels like she's going back on her word to him. I mean the choking part aside I'm with Daemon here. He was on point this entire episode. The only thing (again choking aside) that I may not have done was kill Otto like Daemon wanted to. Because I wouldn't want to deliver the first strike in the war. Plus it's super dishonorable to kill the messenger. Rhaenyra (And Alicent suffered this same stupidity last episode) is being naive to think there's anyway this goes peaceful with her ending up on the Throne. And it's even dumber to think the Realm is safer under Aegon II who she knows is a drunk fool who isn't even aware of the prophecy. What was she going to get him alone & tell him & expect him to actually take it seriously? I'm against Daemon choking her. But she forgave it & understood. It's not the sign of a consistent toxic relationship thing since it wasn't a book story. It's most likely a one time foul up to remind us that Daemon is still a rouge. In this fictional setting I'm looking past it & still loving Daemon. Until we see otherwise that is. (And while they've made book changes nothing so far that effects the end result. Aemond accidentally killing Luke still ends with Luke dead, Daemon killing his wife still results in her dead, Laenor not dying still results in him being gone from the story, etc...) The above said, I do think she needed a wake up call & I do think he realized he over did it. Daemon went to see Vermithor the second largest Dragon. Not a wild Dragon. Not to sure why, I really hope it's to claim or at least attempt to claim a 2nd Dragon. But it could also be to get the Dragon used to humans again for the war. Dany literally controlled 3 Dragons. People can complain & argue she didn't claim all 3 & therefore couldn't ride all 3 if she wanted (Bullshit I say personally) but it's without doubt she had control of them especially when they all reunited before leaving Meereen. She could direct them all in battle as proven by her taking all 3 to save Jon & crew & not a single Dragon came close to killing the good guys as per Dany's instruction. You don't HAVE to ride both at the same time to be able to roughly control them both. You can direct them to the enemy & let them go ham. At least the loss of control of the Dragons makes since. Arrax is basically a baby probably less than 10 years old getting chased aggressively by this giant monster over 150 years old. Arrax knows Vhagar is being used to scare/harm them so out of fear it lashes out with fire. That attack triggers Vhagar to go assault mode. BUT, I do fully blame Aemond for this. He shouldn't have been so stupid as to bring this 150 year old living Nuke of a Dragon on a chase to scare his nephew. Sure they both lost control of their Dragons but Luke is a child riding a child Dragon being chased by a giant war machine monster. It's understandable on his & his Dragons part that they got scared. It should've been understood by Aemond that Vhagar is no dog able to be controlled by stern yells. Vhagar lived during the Conquest, burned literal cities & towns to the ground. Brought lords & Kings to their knees. Aemond fucking knows that yet still was so stupid to believe he could play a cat & mouse game with this beast? And for something Aemond already settled. He said losing the Eye to gain Vhagar was a fair trade & told Alicent to chill. Ultimately Aemond may not have meant to kill Luke, which is a change I like, it's still his fault 100%.
I've seen people saying the queen is being too indecisive. Indecisive yes she wants to think about it but she plunges the kingdom into war were thousands and thousands of people are going to die. I've read the books and I like the changes they've made it makes a lot of the characters more three-dimensional than just look at me I'm good or look at me I'm bad. That scene with Damon choking her why do people forget that Damon is not a good person. He's a straight-up murderer. I love Matt Smith is one my favorite actors he is killing it in this role but Damon is a bad person any supposed to be. Phenomenal first season I was obsessed from episode 1 to the end of episode 10 and you've done a great job with these videos.
both dragons didnt obey their riders. as Viserys said controling dragons is an illusion and power they should not tap into... calling their riders as masters just stupid because any dragons can burn and chomp on their riders at any moment if they feel discomfort
I don't see why people think the Dance of the Dragons should be more than three seasons. It doesn't last very long and there are alot of troop movements and repetitive battles, as any war would have. The would need some filler between the expensive set-pieces, which we should be wary of.
Nice rection. It felt like they wanted to build up to her saying to hell peace then. We go to war. Which is supposed to be the look she gives at the end. But for somebody could have burnt the whole green to the ground at the crowning and saved many lives. No war is what she wanted. Maybe she's hoping they will kill each other, and her house will be all that's left. And finally, she can be queen. Or maybe she just said to herself if I can't rule these kingdoms. Let's get them to kill each other till there are no kingdoms. Revenge style for not making her queen when they should have. Or does she know the song of fire and ice. As she pointed out there was only one of them trying not to break the kingdoms apart. Their all so fickle. The best part was the dragon fight. Lots of inexperience there. After talking about everything burning when dragons fight. I was expecting more destruction. Not in the budget, I guess. True the death of Ned Stark was better, but it also came as a shock. A famous actor to die in the first season. It set the tone for everything that followed. Here it feels like we're going to be a lot more plotting and then things just going wrong. Like attacking a kid and having your eye cut out for it. I expect we'll see more things like that and more feet probably too. That was bad as queen she should have been better than that. Cersi would never have done that. Or Sansa and we know Khaleesi wouldn't have allowed that either. These folks from the past are weak. Let them all die by dragons' fire.
I will disagree, the finale was in a great point bc that was a HUGE moment in the book and what really started the war. Most of the reactors love it, i surprise you didnt like it, btw as a book reader i understand some people were mad about Aemond killing Luke "by accident" but i was ok with that, i kinda like it, draogns are hard to control. AND NO, DAENERYS ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS CONTROLING HER DRAGONS, SHE EVEN LOCK THEM AND DROGON WAS NOT WITH HER FOR MANY TIME
I enjoy your reactions and you seem like a lovely person, but I do have to disagree with quite a few of your criticisms here. The last few episodes have been built up perfectly for the full blown conflict to be the center point of season 2. If they tried to rush the actual start of a war into this season, or cut the season off at episode 8 like you suggested, the whole thing would have been much worse off. Your takes on the birth scene and the Luke/Jace interaction were not exactly agreeable for me as well.
Amazing reaction, as always! Ending the season at Episode 8 would've made a lot of sense, narratively. The final 2 ep's definitely did not sit or feel like season enders. On the other hand, I actually love them as epilogues (as you said) so to speak because they frame season 2 so well. Already, I think this series is starting better than GoT. I am Team Black, jsyk. I hate the (what will be) endless waiting for S2, but I will definitely tuning in to the rest of your content. Cheers!
The truth is that in this chapter I do not understand Rhaenyra, she wants to bring peace after she has been removed from the throne and has been humiliated since she had Asus children, what was she saying to Daemon in chapter 1x7, I cannot alone with them greens I need you and now that daemon realizes that the throne has been taken from his wife what is the first thing he does to look for allies reinforce dragontons in case they attack them and she starts to fight with him because she thinks she can do things better than him ,that is why it is the anger of daemon who sees in her a viserys 2.0 he knows that the hightowers have been the problem from the beginning that daemon told viserys I will protect you from anyone but that is what hurts daemon realizing that viserys I never trust him if daemon he has never been a character neither good nor bad to him the only thing that matters to him is to protect his family I know that what he did to rhaenyra was not right but that is what bothers him to see that rhaenyra be like viserys who lets himself be manipulated by others
Yeah, I saw it on Saturday. Sorry, "guilty". But I couldn't wait! Best episode of the season! Very good writing. How do you force Black Queen Rhaenyra into war? You kill her "Jonas Brothers" son. 😆 Luc and Jace Valyrion remind me of the Jonas Bros. EDIT: Daemon went into the pit to claim Vermithor. King Jahaerys' dragon. 2nd largest dragon to Vhagar. Aemond: "Vhagar, No..."! Vhagar: "Hell yes"!!! 🧒💀😩 ...and it was in that moment Aemond Targaryen realized "shetz bout to get real". War....! Dance of the 🐉 🐉 🐉
The chocking scene was disgusting and they ruined daemon's character... This never happened in the book...and daemon would never behave like this with rahnerya... Infact opposite he would kill anyone who dares to touch her😶 Also about the war...that was wrong as well...in the book he was the one ..who wanted to know about any diplomatic solutions before all out war😶😶😶😶😶 Both rahnerya and daemon wanted the throune equally.... They ruined his character in episode 10...wtf is wrong with showrunner 😶
Why is there so many people who expected war/battlescenes in this season finale? Remembering how the last seasons of GOT ended with a pace that went way to fast im baffled about peoples expectations for ep 10. Do they actually think someone is just going to war without knowing who her allies are and without any plans? And they think everything would be settled and ready to go within a single episode after Rhaenarya got the message fram Rhaenys? Are people stupid or just ignorant? They literaly expect and want a scenario that most people didnt want with GOT. Jeeeez
I feel like Jace being aggressive and direct towards Luke was a response to them both seeing Aemond train with Criston and just easily pushing Jace to the floor with one arm in episode 8
Yea remember this episode happened not long after episode 8 so that scuffle is still fresh it's especially frustrating for jace as in his mind he's the future king and he's getting pushed to the ground like a child and can't throw a decent punch aemond clearly got to him .
@Ali Chaudhry true but boys will be boys once that inferiority kicks in it doesn't just go away .
@Ali Chaudhry jace in episode 8 : "a king should honer the traditions of his forebears " he may not throw much of a punch but he has the heart and mind of a true king , aemond is just a over compensating manchild who got a kid killed for no reason and started a war , people only like aemond because he just happened to take vhegar and has daemon like personality but for aemond it's just to hide his inferiority complex and entitlement he's no more fit to be king then aegon he's just more of an asshole.
@Ali Chaudhry if he lost you now you won't like him later 😂and trust me if they stay faithful jace is going to be the mvp of the blacks along with daemon.
The baby was a stillbirth, that's why she wanted it out. There were no C-Sections so she had to get that baby out pronto.
The childbirth scenes, while absolutely horrific, are exactly what Aemma said in the very first episode. The woman's battlefield.
Queen Aemma literally died due to blood loss from a forced c-section...
@@VanArchon *survivable c-sections
You could see the umbilical cord wrapped around baby Visenyas neck.
I think Rhaenyra knew she wasn’t giving birth to an alive baby, that’s why she was trying to pull her out.
RIP littlest dragon 🐉
Both Erryk and Arryk are whitecloaks. Arryk is Aegons sworn shield. Like Criston was to Rhaenyra. Erryk is the good brother who let Rhaenys out and stole Viserys crown.
I think it is Erryk who was sworn to Aegon. Erryk spent a lot of time around him and knew about his bastards and his actions that's why he choose Rhaenyr; he saw with his own eyes that Aegon is not fitted to be the king. Meanile, his brother was like i'll just follow rules because it's my job.
Erryk was Aegons bodyguard, he spent a lot of time with aegon and saw the horrible things he did so he knew aegon was not fit for the throne
Another indication of Rhynera's selfishness.
Killed the baby to save herself.
Not me mention the selfishness of killing a guard so she can marry.
Or the selfishness of not understanding Cole's vows and offer.
@@rohanshende4338 she didn’t kill the baby. You can clearly see the umbilical cord wrapped around the baby’s neck 🙄 it was already dead.
@@jackson857 Hahah I knew my omment would trigger someone
The labour was brought on by shock and so the baby came too early and that’s why it didn’t survive 🥺
it’s umbilical chord was also wrapped around the babys neck
13:57 both of their dragons stopped obeying them. Visery said early in the season that it is a illusion that they control dragon. This is a example. Aemond was just trying to be a antagonizing ass and Lucerys was just trying to get away. But then Lucery attacked Vhagar and Vhagar got pissed and killed then.
yup!! and vhagar is a war dragon, has been since the conquest so it's only natural for her to react like that 😭
Rhaenyra lost her father, her birthright, and two children. In her mind, the Greens are to blame for each of these. The betrayal by someone she considered a trusted friend. This is why she goes from peace-seeker to warmonger. Can’t wait for second season in 2024😭 thanks for the reactions! Salamat po!
The baby was supposed to be her only daughter. She was gonna name it Visenya…after the conqueror’s older, badass sister. Same name she wanted to name her brother when she thought Aemma was gonna have a girl. But the news drove her into a rage and the baby came a month early. It was malformed and had scales and a tail. Even knowing that Lukey was gonna die, it made the build up even worse. The dread. Poor baby. It was interesting that it turned out that the dragons took their own actions instead of what we’ve always just assumed thinking Aemond meant to kill his nephew. But no one will believe him. Cuz he’s a bit of a psycho. The writers have been confused why people love Daemon and I hope the whole domestic violence thing against Rhaenyra will make people realize more what a malicious character he can be. Cuz the whole wonton murder thing in episode one didn’t make people bat an eye.
Daemon: "I would rather feed my sons to the dragons."
Vhagar: *chomp* yummy.
😂
😆
*Vhagar* : "Fock these kids". 🤣
😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭
That wasn't his son. It was strongs.
5:36 if you look at the baby you can see the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck so she was already dead
The actual finale is actually ep9 based off the end of the fire and blood book. Ep 10 is the beginning of A Dance with Dragons book and would be cover the rest in S2 which is the civil war. it's gonna be a dragon fest next season so get excited hehe
The shock sent her into premature labour. She couldn't do anything at that point but give birth knowing her baby wouldn't/ couldn't survive it. She 100% wanted her daughter & was devastated by the loss.
The paper was the one she ripped from the book in episode 1. It was about Nymeria fleeing before the situation got worse. It was 100% supposed to be a "look we were so close once" as well as trying to manipulate her into not fighting back.
11:20 No, Daemon is not claiming that Dragon, because no Targaryen or Dragon Lord can claim more than one Dragon. what Daemon is doing is visiting the caves of Dragonstone to check the status of the riderless Dragons on the island, in this case it is Vermithor, the Dragon of his grandfather King Jahaerys I.
Aegon the Conqueror and Daenerys had more than one
@@BrendanBeckett No my friend, Aegon I Targaryen, "The Conqueror", only had one Dragon as a mount, like every Targaryen/Dragon Lord that ever existed, that Dragon was Balerion "The Black Terror". The other two Targaryen Dragons that they possessed during the time of the conquest, were Vhagar and Meraxes, which were the mounts of Aegon I's sisters/Wives, Visenya and Rhaenys (Not to be confused with the actual Rhaenys Targaryen in the current timeline from House of the Dragon). The Three would have these Dragons as their only mounts until the end of each of their lives (Balerion and Vhagar would have more Targaryen riders after the deaths of Aegon I and Visenya, but Meraxes died alongside his rider Rhaenys in the Wars with dorne).
As for Daenerys Targaryen, her situation is special: no Dragon Egg had hatched in more than a century, and the three who were born in the Fire with Daenerys did so from a Fire and Blood Spell, and therefore the three they hatched at the same time and Daenerys was their Master and "Mother", unlike any common birth from an egg bestowed on a Targaryen of the past. But if you realize, both in the books and in the series, despite the fact that Daenerys' three Dragons (Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion) are loyal to her, the only Dragon she takes as a mount is Drogon, because at Despite the unique situation in which her dragons were born and bonded to her, the rule that a Targaryen dragonrider can only have ONE Dragon as a mount still holds and Daenerys cannot escape it, therefore she cannot ride neither of the other two Dragons, even though they are loyal to her. For example, during battles, the two Mountless Dragons, Viserion and Rhaegal, follow her into battle, but they only follow what Drogon, her alpha brother, does, and Drogon is the only one who follows Daenerys' orders, since that Drogon is Dany's only Mount, in other words, Viserion and Rhaegal only follow their Alpha Dragon. Of course, that does not mean that they were not attached to Daenerys, she was their "Mother", but she did not give them any orders in the air or on the ground, because she was not a rider of either of them. Also, then Jon Snow (a bastard Targaryen) would take Rhaegal as a mount, because he had NO rider.
The big dragon with Daemon was Vermithor, Good King Jaeherys’s dragon. Daemon and Aegon’s grandfather. The king in the first episode. Vermithor is the second largest dragon in the world.
Daemon , rhaenys and viserys grand father it’s aegon, aemon and Rhaenyra as well as daemon’s daughters great grandfather
1)I keep thinking that Rhaenyra's first son is Sir Christen Cole's kid.
2) I think we will see Daemon scared of Rhaenyra at least once next season, and this may be if and when she gets her hands on Aemond. Only Sir Christen got a chance to be how physically brutal she can be with the boar, aka wild pig, she killed during the hunt. Rhaenyra is on the hunt. Aemond has been affiliated with a pig twice this season. We just saw Rhaenyra survive what her mother and sister in law didn't. When she gave birth to her 3rd child she walked the halls of the castle to the queens quarters to be with her baby to protect it, when she should have been resting and celebrating. She now just lost 2 children, learned about the lost of her father, and acquired the role as queen. Instead of grieving her stillborn, instead of grieving her father's loss, and instead of celebrating her ascention she is being asked to consider the future of the realm at the risk to her life and the lives of those she loves. She can still ride her own dragon, and now has dominion over other dragons and dragon riders. Poor Aemond. Poor Otto. Poor Aegon II. We don't know your future, but given what you've done and to whom you've done it-I cannot say you don't deserve what's coming, but I will weep for you.
Well Aegon II kill Rhaenyra in front of Aegon III.
Rhaenyra will kill Otto.
Alicent survive the war but dies in a Apartment of sickness
Yeah, Aemond wasn’t trying to kill him, the two dragons disobeyed their riders and just did what they wanted for that moment.
It looked like Aemond only wished to scare and bully him, I don’t even think he would really take out his eye (but that’s just my opinion)
He literally looked shook and terrified when Syrax was about to chomp Luke up😭
@@Deanie_o Vhaegar* Syrax is Rhaenyra's dragon. Easy mistake to make tho, there's so many god damn names in this show it's hard to keep track lmao. Especially since so many of them are so similar.
True but it doesn’t matter. That’s the theme of this show. Some characters get away with stuff and maybe face the consequences later. Some people face consequences immediately. It literally depends on what your last name is.
im gonna miss Jacaerys x Baela and Lucerys x Rhaena 😢
Now that rhaenyra will want war because her son is dead , she and daemon will be on the same page now because daemon was upset that she was stopping him from killing the hightowers plus he learned his brother never took him serious as heir that’s why he snapped
The page was ripped out of a book about Nymeria, the warrior-queen who led the Rhoynar refugees to Dorne. They loved reading this book together when they were young.
Sis the baby was too Young to be able to survive. The shock Made her give birth too early
*Aemond* *Is* *Still* *A* *Kid*
We tend to forget Aemond is only about 15 or 16. I've seen the memes with Martin Lawrence and that Aemond looks like he's mf-ing 30 but we forget he's still just a kid. So the look in Aemond's face after Vhagar chomped on Arrax was like, OH S--T, I JUST F--KED UP. He feels the responsibility of killing someone for the FIRST TIME. Luke is like breaking his cherry at killing.
Aemond has ZERO experience participating in a war, let alone, killing multiple MEN like Daemon and Corlys have. He may look like a BADASS and I personally think he should take off his eye patch to show us his sapphire eye. But at the end of the day, he is just a kid. The change making it into he didn't intend to kill Lucerys starts to make more sense. The writers are reminding us he's not a cold-blooded killer but a kid who does stupid kid stuff that triggers Rhaenyra to go to war.
Aemond is 19
This episode put me in the mood for a Kid's Meal
Rhaenyra doesn’t mind daemon choking her she knows he’s impulsive and that he’s grieving, daemon wants war and she’s being passive ( I’m not justifying his actions I’m just giving context that she’s not upset about what he did) we literally see them holding hands at the end, they are still married
The finale was epic and the love the ponytail your wearing and the crown/tiara and the necklace and dress so fancy!, also love the title 😂 and yeah enjoyed this reaction very much ❤❤❤
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I wonder how anyone can be "disappointed" by this season finale. Excellent first season and fantastic final episode .. and I say this as a reader of the book
He never planned Rhaenyra to be his true heir, but yes he never truly thought Daemon as heir either
Looks like Aemond needs to rewatch how to train your Dragon a few more times , great acting from Ewan Mitchell at the end he says so much with no dialogue his look that says " Oh fuck "
Hes not being mean to his brother. He’s training him to fight
The translation has been confirmed thanks to the language's creator, David J. Peterson (via Archive Of Our Own).
In it, it is revealed that the name of the song Daemon sings to Vermithor is "With Three Heads". Check the English translation:
Fire breathes, winged leader
but two heads
For a third to sing
From my voice:
The fires spoke
And the price has been paid
with blood magic
With words of fire
with clear eyes
To tie the three
for you i sing
As one we come together
And with three heads
We'll fly like we were meant to
beautifully, freely
Love your videos Monica, I was excitedly awaiting your reaction. To clear up the baby’s situation, she was a premature birth induced by stress. The maester said that Rhaenyra was too early into pregnancy for a birth. Even in the scene the baby looked not fully developed fam I the only one whose never felt such “uneasiness” watching tv. Even in GOT the most gruesome scenes couldn’t compare) the parallels Between Rhaenyra and Her mothers scenes are amazing, love how hard the writers are working (except these huge times skips).
The period before Jacerys death was called the war of Ravens and envoys both sides just wanted to get as many Allie’s as possible to have a strong hand in negotiations for peace. Once Jacerys is killed everything goes to shit and it all escalated in terms of atrocities. We’re in for a wild 3 more seasons.
It makes sense that the war would not officially start in last episode. This is kind of a cliffhanger for season 2.
This didn’t feel like a finale at all but fair enough, I see what they are trying to do with the build up. Love your videos so much and I’m so excited to see what shows you do next (proud of you for continuing to do all those on going shows that was crazy 👏🏼)
This season and episode was great. I'm a sucker for good dialogue and buildup and that's what this was all about. From what I've read without spoilers, the main story started at ep 6 with the big 10 yr time jump but the writers wanted to give more background so we get the relationships/motivations of a lot of characters. S1 was never going to be all out war. That will be S2 and beyond. This was just exposition like the earlier seasons of GOT. We should be getting at least 4 seasons and I'm hype.
The baby was way too premature they don’t have modern technology like us so the baby would’ve died either way
Yeah, you're right. Aemond didn't want to kill Luke, Vhagar did since she disobeyed him
Amazing reaction and Issa look😍💗the ending really shocked me 😳 how can they leave us like that wth 🤦🏽♀️ and when is the next season coming out? I’m guessing not for a while
And Rhaenyra might turn very savage after all she’s been through 😫
In the book Aemond he kills Luke and because he wanted not to and as he is showing in the series that he is sorry, the name of Rhaenyra's baby would be a girl and her name would be visenya
Rhaenyra wasn't dreaming of a dragon giving birth. Her own dragon, Syrax, was screaming in pain at her because they are so bonded. If you notice during the Battle of the Stepstones, Caraxes screams when Daemon is hit by an arrow. this shows how Rhaenyra and Daemon have a great connection with their dragons. Rhaenyra's anger burns the whole transition was so well done, her anger is completely justified compared to how they made Daenarys
Daemon as crazy as it gets, he loved his brother. From the scene where he stopped Corlis talking shit about Viserys in ep 1, helping on the throne to mourning on the beach. I don't think Daemon wanted to show weakness because Rhaenyra was at her most vulnerable in childbirth and it wasn't easy.. (His last wife died in childbirth, and I believe it is also said that his mother died in childbirth and his wife Viserys died in childbirth.) So the only thing he could do was prepare for the war he knew was coming. The scene on the beach was much longer of him on the beach Matt the actor he shot a scene on the beach the daemon suffering from the death of his baby who was a girl and her name was the series visenya but HBO preferred to remove this scene the daemon he is not no saint anymore he loves his family he loves his children and really rhaenyra only unfortunately the writers prefer not to show that side of him much, i think the reason daemon didnt go to rhaenyra when she was giving birth is because he feared having to make an impossible choice. The last woman he had complications with died. He didn't want to have to make that choice for Rhaenyra. He couldn't lose her that way. When he dropped to his knees, he was relieved that she was okay and had survived. Rhaenyra didn't want help during the birth because of her mother's death. She wanted to get that baby out so she wouldn't suffer the same fate. This series/book is awesome...
Matt Smith said that Daemon would give his life for Viserys and Rhaenyra. I fully believe he was heartbroken to see his brother in that condition.
Neither of their dragons were listening
Wow what a finale😱😱😱😱😱😱
I know right?! I loved it! ❤
Uhm what? This clearly sets up the war and to show a glimpse of what dragons v dragons is gonna be. It's clear that your opinion is heavily influenced by Twitter whose stans hated this episode because of petty reasons. Do not listen too much to them it will ruin your experience. Aemond chasing Luke off and not actually trying to kill him is not out of character, it is a change from the book but it still makes sense. And they are saving a very delicate event for EP1 of S2 so they had to end it on this note
What are you talking about?
She was addressing the part where we say Jace getting angry at Luke during training
She said nothing about Aemond
to add to what you said the books according to the books are not an accurate telling of the events anyway so any alteration is pretty much fair game.
Yeah honestly it felt like she saw the spoilers on Twitter and it lead to her coming in with tainted takes. Which has definitely happened to me at points, but the point stands.
Dany said (with one minor mistake) zaldrīzes buzdāri iksos daor. A dragon is not a slave. Dragons are like lions and tigers. They’re cool to people they’re cool with. But they’re still predators who can turn on you and do their own thing. Though I don’t think there’s been a case where a dragon has killed its own rider.
I love your reaction you where like no I want more and more please. 😂🎉❤😊
Jace is still remembering Aemond dominating him the night before & Aegon doing the same (actually worse) to Luke. Jace is trying to get Luke & himself up to the Green boys standard so they don't get whooped again. Jace is future King in his mind & he's frustrated that he got pushed to the ground like a little child. It was not weeks later either idk where you got that from, this episode starts on the same day or the very day after Rhaenys escaped. She flew straight to Dragonstone & her dragon is massive & flies fast plus Dragonstone isn't very far away in Dragon flight time. Jace wasn't being "mean" he was being tough for their Training. Nothing outside that scene shows Jace rude to Luke or pushing him around or anything. He was training his little brother.
Daemon & the council were not taking advantage of Rhaenyra giving birth. They were being realistic planning the defense of the island. Literally Green Assassins or soldiers or even all 4 Green Dragons could appear right behind Rhaenys at any moment. Planning defenses & preparing to secure alliances is what was needed in that moment. Considering the Greens were planning this in advance & got to the other High Lords first it was extremely important Daemon & company try playing catch up as quickly as possible.
We see clearly everyone on the council Daemon included bend the knee to her & accept her as Queen. Daemon is even loyal to her son Jace & as beein proclaiming him heir to the Throne not any of his kids with Rhaenyra. Based on the fact Rhaenyra didn't want any help I'm guessing she wouldn't allow Daemon to help either. I understand it's harsh that he wasn't there but I'm of the opinion that settling the Island defenses to protect his Wife the Queen & the potential healthy baby she might have is far more important. What's the point being there for Rhaenyra if an Assassin or troops show up to kill them all anyway & they're caught flat footed.
Dog that baby was like 3 months premature. The Maidens & That maester pointed like out. I think the baby had the umbilical cord around it's throat too. And it looks deformed or something around the head though that might just be birth gunk idk. But there was no chance a baby that premature being birth solely because of the stress put on the mom was surviving. And yea, likely a still birth. But no she didn't want that to happen.
Daemon choked her in attempt to snap her out of this stupid stale/inaction taking attitude she has that's like her father. It was literally a weakness of his & it's the reason a war will start now. His inaction allowed the Greens to gain this power. Daemon doesn't want a similar fate to fall on her. He's also lashing out a little for feeling overlooked again by his brother not telling him this secret dragon dream.
I mean let's really consider this here, the entire reason they let Laenor leave & risked turning Corlys & Rhaenys against them is because she needed Daemon to help her against the Greens. I mean she literally says "I need you uncle I can not face the Greens alone". He agrees & now the time is here, these fuckers have usurped the Iron Throne, basically spitting on Viserys grave, and she's considering accepting the Greens terms? Basically surrendering? I'd be pissed off if I were Daemon as well. She's literally being naive to the point of stupidity just like her dad. Daemon was preparing for this fight the moment they married because that's what she needed him for & he feels like she's going back on her word to him.
I mean the choking part aside I'm with Daemon here. He was on point this entire episode. The only thing (again choking aside) that I may not have done was kill Otto like Daemon wanted to. Because I wouldn't want to deliver the first strike in the war. Plus it's super dishonorable to kill the messenger. Rhaenyra (And Alicent suffered this same stupidity last episode) is being naive to think there's anyway this goes peaceful with her ending up on the Throne. And it's even dumber to think the Realm is safer under Aegon II who she knows is a drunk fool who isn't even aware of the prophecy. What was she going to get him alone & tell him & expect him to actually take it seriously?
I'm against Daemon choking her. But she forgave it & understood. It's not the sign of a consistent toxic relationship thing since it wasn't a book story. It's most likely a one time foul up to remind us that Daemon is still a rouge. In this fictional setting I'm looking past it & still loving Daemon. Until we see otherwise that is. (And while they've made book changes nothing so far that effects the end result. Aemond accidentally killing Luke still ends with Luke dead, Daemon killing his wife still results in her dead, Laenor not dying still results in him being gone from the story, etc...)
The above said, I do think she needed a wake up call & I do think he realized he over did it.
Daemon went to see Vermithor the second largest Dragon. Not a wild Dragon. Not to sure why, I really hope it's to claim or at least attempt to claim a 2nd Dragon. But it could also be to get the Dragon used to humans again for the war. Dany literally controlled 3 Dragons. People can complain & argue she didn't claim all 3 & therefore couldn't ride all 3 if she wanted (Bullshit I say personally) but it's without doubt she had control of them especially when they all reunited before leaving Meereen. She could direct them all in battle as proven by her taking all 3 to save Jon & crew & not a single Dragon came close to killing the good guys as per Dany's instruction. You don't HAVE to ride both at the same time to be able to roughly control them both. You can direct them to the enemy & let them go ham.
At least the loss of control of the Dragons makes since.
Arrax is basically a baby probably less than 10 years old getting chased aggressively by this giant monster over 150 years old. Arrax knows Vhagar is being used to scare/harm them so out of fear it lashes out with fire. That attack triggers Vhagar to go assault mode.
BUT, I do fully blame Aemond for this. He shouldn't have been so stupid as to bring this 150 year old living Nuke of a Dragon on a chase to scare his nephew. Sure they both lost control of their Dragons but Luke is a child riding a child Dragon being chased by a giant war machine monster. It's understandable on his & his Dragons part that they got scared. It should've been understood by Aemond that Vhagar is no dog able to be controlled by stern yells. Vhagar lived during the Conquest, burned literal cities & towns to the ground. Brought lords & Kings to their knees. Aemond fucking knows that yet still was so stupid to believe he could play a cat & mouse game with this beast?
And for something Aemond already settled. He said losing the Eye to gain Vhagar was a fair trade & told Alicent to chill.
Ultimately Aemond may not have meant to kill Luke, which is a change I like, it's still his fault 100%.
I've seen people saying the queen is being too indecisive. Indecisive yes she wants to think about it but she plunges the kingdom into war were thousands and thousands of people are going to die. I've read the books and I like the changes they've made it makes a lot of the characters more three-dimensional than just look at me I'm good or look at me I'm bad. That scene with Damon choking her why do people forget that Damon is not a good person. He's a straight-up murderer. I love Matt Smith is one my favorite actors he is killing it in this role but Damon is a bad person any supposed to be. Phenomenal first season I was obsessed from episode 1 to the end of episode 10 and you've done a great job with these videos.
It’s a perfecting ending in my opinion, now the gloves will be off for the entirety of season two
both dragons didnt obey their riders. as Viserys said controling dragons is an illusion and power they should not tap into...
calling their riders as masters just stupid because any dragons can burn and chomp on their riders at any moment if they feel discomfort
I don't see why people think the Dance of the Dragons should be more than three seasons. It doesn't last very long and there are alot of troop movements and repetitive battles, as any war would have. The would need some filler between the expensive set-pieces, which we should be wary of.
11:45 girl ME TOO xD uughhh I hated this moment and I hate Aemond!!
No rider can claim 2 dragons at the same time so daemon didn't claim the dragon that he saw (Vermithor)
Basicly both dragons went rogue and didn't listen to there riders
Nice rection. It felt like they wanted to build up to her saying to hell peace then. We go to war. Which is supposed to be the look she gives at the end. But for somebody could have burnt the whole green to the ground at the crowning and saved many lives. No war is what she wanted. Maybe she's hoping they will kill each other, and her house will be all that's left. And finally, she can be queen. Or maybe she just said to herself if I can't rule these kingdoms. Let's get them to kill each other till there are no kingdoms. Revenge style for not making her queen when they should have. Or does she know the song of fire and ice. As she pointed out there was only one of them trying not to break the kingdoms apart. Their all so fickle. The best part was the dragon fight. Lots of inexperience there. After talking about everything burning when dragons fight. I was expecting more destruction. Not in the budget, I guess. True the death of Ned Stark was better, but it also came as a shock. A famous actor to die in the first season. It set the tone for everything that followed. Here it feels like we're going to be a lot more plotting and then things just going wrong. Like attacking a kid and having your eye cut out for it. I expect we'll see more things like that and more feet probably too. That was bad as queen she should have been better than that. Cersi would never have done that. Or Sansa and we know Khaleesi wouldn't have allowed that either. These folks from the past are weak. Let them all die by dragons' fire.
Hey Monica love your reactions as always. Just wanted to know, have you seen the new ant man trailer or not? If not are you going to react to it?
I will disagree, the finale was in a great point bc that was a HUGE moment in the book and what really started the war.
Most of the reactors love it, i surprise you didnt like it,
btw as a book reader i understand some people were mad about Aemond killing Luke "by accident" but i was ok with that, i kinda like it, draogns are hard to control.
AND NO, DAENERYS ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS CONTROLING HER DRAGONS, SHE EVEN LOCK THEM AND DROGON WAS NOT WITH HER FOR MANY TIME
well until season 6 were she could randomly control them perfectly for some reason
Just know… chaos is coming!
Yes, it was a stillbirth.
I enjoy your reactions and you seem like a lovely person, but I do have to disagree with quite a few of your criticisms here. The last few episodes have been built up perfectly for the full blown conflict to be the center point of season 2. If they tried to rush the actual start of a war into this season, or cut the season off at episode 8 like you suggested, the whole thing would have been much worse off.
Your takes on the birth scene and the Luke/Jace interaction were not exactly agreeable for me as well.
*GAAAAAAASP* THE BEAST IS BENEATH THE BOARDS! AND SHE LIKED LUKE! OMG HER WARNING WASN’T ABOUT RHENYS IT WAS ABOUT THIS!!!
Amazing reaction, as always! Ending the season at Episode 8 would've made a lot of sense, narratively. The final 2 ep's definitely did not sit or feel like season enders. On the other hand, I actually love them as epilogues (as you said) so to speak because they frame season 2 so well. Already, I think this series is starting better than GoT. I am Team Black, jsyk. I hate the (what will be) endless waiting for S2, but I will definitely tuning in to the rest of your content. Cheers!
The airplane dragon ate the baby :(
Im still so upset.
The truth is that in this chapter I do not understand Rhaenyra, she wants to bring peace after she has been removed from the throne and has been humiliated since she had Asus children, what was she saying to Daemon in chapter 1x7, I cannot alone with them greens I need you and now that daemon realizes that the throne has been taken from his wife what is the first thing he does to look for allies reinforce dragontons in case they attack them and she starts to fight with him because she thinks she can do things better than him ,that is why it is the anger of daemon who sees in her a viserys 2.0 he knows that the hightowers have been the problem from the beginning that daemon told viserys I will protect you from anyone but that is what hurts daemon realizing that viserys I never trust him if daemon he has never been a character neither good nor bad to him the only thing that matters to him is to protect his family I know that what he did to rhaenyra was not right but that is what bothers him to see that rhaenyra be like viserys who lets himself be manipulated by others
Season two is going to be the war
Nooooooooooooooo Luke did not deserve that
Next season, next season we will be going to war
Love the other way lol
the baby was deformed, premature and DOA . idk what makes u think rhanaryra killed the baby.
Dreamworks Dinotrux🦖🛻!
Season 2 in 2024
Will you be doing Big Mouth season 6? it's out Friday 😁
Are you a beauty queen in whatever country you are from? With that crown on, you look like a Miss Universe Pageant Queen
fuckn rip Luke dude
#I want a dragon
Yeah, I saw it on Saturday. Sorry, "guilty". But I couldn't wait! Best episode of the season! Very good writing. How do you force Black Queen Rhaenyra into war? You kill her "Jonas Brothers" son. 😆
Luc and Jace Valyrion remind me of the Jonas Bros.
EDIT: Daemon went into the pit to claim Vermithor. King Jahaerys' dragon. 2nd largest dragon to Vhagar.
Aemond: "Vhagar, No..."!
Vhagar: "Hell yes"!!! 🧒💀😩
...and it was in that moment Aemond Targaryen realized "shetz bout to get real". War....! Dance of the 🐉 🐉 🐉
Thought everyone would know Aemond was there when they showed the GIANT dragon (Vhagar) in the distance. How do you not know whose dragon that was?!?
It was just a love choke. I’m sure they do it all the time…..hahahaha
These do feel like filler but episode 8 was the lowest the show has been
Big mouth is back!
Why would you ride a dragon in a thunderstorm? Should’ve waited.
The chocking scene was disgusting and they ruined daemon's character... This never happened in the book...and daemon would never behave like this with rahnerya... Infact opposite he would kill anyone who dares to touch her😶
Also about the war...that was wrong as well...in the book he was the one ..who wanted to know about any diplomatic solutions before all out war😶😶😶😶😶
Both rahnerya and daemon wanted the throune equally....
They ruined his character in episode 10...wtf is wrong with showrunner 😶
You should react to a big mouth season 6
Why is there so many people who expected war/battlescenes in this season finale? Remembering how the last seasons of GOT ended with a pace that went way to fast im baffled about peoples expectations for ep 10. Do they actually think someone is just going to war without knowing who her allies are and without any plans? And they think everything would be settled and ready to go within a single episode after Rhaenarya got the message fram Rhaenys? Are people stupid or just ignorant? They literaly expect and want a scenario that most people didnt want with GOT. Jeeeez
