@kimcottingham8943 hopefully it's not like some peoples Patreon where u have to download the show to watch along with them, like some people have it set up
27:52 The man calling Rhaenys "the Queen who never was" is actually her cousin and it was a slight against Viserys as he was suggesting Rhaenys should have been the Queen over Viserys
Small correction: the brother of Maester Aemon wasn't the mad king, his nephew was. We should see Aemon in a future show (this one is a bit too early for that). GREAT reaction!
That's true for the show. They actually skipped a generation as part of their streamlining of the books to the screenplay for the show. In the books, Aemon's brother Aegon V had several children, and Aerys the Mad King was his grandson.
@@bill.godwin-austen Great call. One of the three requests that George made to Ryan Condal about House of the Dragon was to reinsert Jaehaerys II back into show canon. And since there hasn't been an opportunity to really do that overtly on the show yet, I'm guessing that with Dunk & Egg being a thing, they'll wait until it naturally becomes narratively relevant to do so.
Daemon probably didn't really say "the heir for a day", Otto staged this to drive a rift between him and his brother. He didn't deny it when asked by Viserys because he knew it would only make him angrier.
He was *really* upset at the funeral. Why would he look so sad, and then go on to praise himself and belittle this loss? That's not Daemon pretending; with Rhaenyra, he never pretends. Because she's the only one he feels he can truly be himself with. I think he did make a drunken speech about how torn up he was about the loss, of not just the baby but Aemma, too--and one of Otto's spies heard it and words were shifted mjust enough to spin the actual fact into treason.
The Baratheons and Lannisters presumably removed all the Targaryen regalia from the throne room and Red Keep, including all those swords, the mythological carvings on the columns (and each king is carved into the top of the column after his death), the dragon skulls, the shrine to Balerion the Black Dread (King Viserys was its last rider) and the in GOT it was relegated to the basement. Also, we are about 10 kings away from the Mad King. Also, the idea that Aegon foresaw the Long Winter was a long-held theory now confirmed by GRRM since he was actively involved in this show.
" the baratheons and lannisters presumably removed all the Targaryen regalia from the throne" or this show is simply trying to be more accurate to the source material and you shouldn't be trying to connect it to the original show.
@@thatoneblackdude3333 the answer is simple. As massive of a show as GOT was, for the first season, the budget was a lot smaller than in later seasons. This is why when King Robert arrived at Winterfell, with his massive retinue, it looked more like a few dozens of people, and this is why no major set piece battle scenes were depicted. It is also why the Iron throne was so much smaller than in the books.
The irony of Suzie saying "I can't imagine a dragon being tame" while talking about Syrax lol. Short context on Syrax the dragons personality. Below. Some Dragons facts as well (no spoilers just dragon context) Syrax is a she-dragon and happens to be titled " The Spoiled Princess" as she loves to be taken care of and fed by the dragon keepers and hates hunting herself. Targaryens during this time receive dragon eggs in the cradle but not all dragon eggs hatch so some have to claim already living dragons.
10:52 Nah, this is decades before Baelor was King (or born for that matter), let alone his Sept built. The two biggest structures in King's Landing at this point would be the Red Keep and the Dragon Pit. 11:43 Well, considering their relation, some resemblance is certainly warranted. 16:05 Queen Aemma was King Viserys I's cousin (specifically, her mother was his father's sister, if I'm not mistaken). Aemma's father was an Arryn, and hence she was herself a member of House Arryn even though her mother, husband, and children were all Targaryens. 51:29 If I'm not mistaken, that head belonged to Balerion the Black Dread, Aegon the Conqueror's dragon that he personally rode during the conquest of Westeros. Interestingly, even though it's easy for someone watching the series to see him in a kinda feeble light, Viserys has the sort of badass status of having been Balerion's last rider. 53:38 Nah, that's just his favorite sex worker.
Lord Baratheon was actually insulting Viserys, asking for the favour of "the Queen who never was", implying that she should have been Queen instead of him being King. Which checks out because in 'Fire & Blood' from which this story stems the Baratheons supported Rhaenys at the Council. Also I think Daemon's move was not illegal but just seen as very dishonourable
Why are you hating on Daemon so much? "He would be a mad king" , "he would kill the king". He was crying at the funeral, all he wanted was for Viserys to name him Hand of the King. The true vilan here is Otto, trying to manipulate the King and pimping his daughter.
hotd is from the book Fire & Blood. baelon was the father of viserys and daemon which is why that was the babys name, aemma was viserys' cousin. the mad king is born like 10 generations in the future lol you wont even see the grandparents of people who appear in the show
The in universe explanation for the extra swords being gone by the time events of GoT starts is the fact that after Roberts rebellion, King Robert moved all the dragon skulls along with anything resembling the Targaryen Dynasty down below away in Kings Landing.
and ofcourse the Actual reason is because the show didn't have the budget for this back then. Even Hotd dont have the budget to do that Massive Book accurate Iron Throne lol. The Iron Throne in Book Canon is literally 50 times bigger than this...
Valaryan Steel is rare since old Valaryia exploded even before Aegon the conqueror There is still a high rate of maternal and infant mortality - at least in the USA. The baby was breathing funny and gurgling like it was choking. Which is why the maester was looking at the baby funny. As for the throne - changes to a throne room can happen over years and across different rulers. We saw many changes during the GOT timeline. Joffrey completely re did the throne room. Cersei did the map on the floor of the courtyard…. Oral and written history seems to have existed then (which is why Ned and others would know about a thousand swords of the conquered lining the seat of the throne) Also some bits of history - especially secret ones - can be lost. Since we are going back in time, you’ll discover new use cases for things we’ve come to be familiar with and to me that’s really cool attention to detail by the show runners - and true ti life. Also Cerwyn houses being mentioned are fan service - they are part of their history/ and high noble families. So they were there for reasons that matter to the story.
Was like "No there isn't?" When you said there is still a high rate of maternal and infant mortality, until I read the 'At least in the USA' part and yeah, fair enough.
And vice versa. In Rhaenyra´s first scene she talks about Syrex having room for two riders.. Alicent says she´s not interested and Rhaenyra gives a sigh that´s very interesting.
The 1000s of swords is a book description. Need would’ve saw it when he took kings landing during Robert’s Rebellion. Remember that that’s when he saw Jaime sitting on the throne with the Mad King dead. “By what right does the wolf judge the lion? By what right?” Google “iron throne book art.”
@@LS13. The very fact that Daemon stopped fighting is proof of him yielding. Yielding is an action, not a statement, or rather the fact of a lack off further action. If Daemon hadn’t yielded, that would mean that the fight is still ongoing, and that Daemon would be fully justified in stabbing Ser Cole with his sword at any moment. Similarly, when I yield at an intersection, I don't need to say anything, I just need to stop driving for a few moments.
i think you guys might be making a mistake trying to connect this with whatever the hell was that in the final season of got. george r r martin is clearly connecting this to his next books canon, not the show canon.
Lol So a couple of things to know: Daenerys is the descendant of Rhaenyra; If I recall, she’s her Great x4 Granddaughter lol The Prophecy that is constantly mentioned in the show is 100% true; It refers to Jon Snow (Though seeing as how “Prince” in high Valyrian can translate to prince AND princess, it can apply to Dany as well) Daemon is nothing.. I repeat, N O T H I N G like Ramsay!!
@@MasonOfLife To be fair, he looks very different from Xenophilious! the only reason I figured it out is because I recognized him from Peaky Blinders then remembered the he was also in Harry Potter
in the books, the is throne always huge and jagged, in the show we can assume that it looks like this till the Targaryen dynasty lasts and then it gets cleaned up and made to look more like a chair when Robert takes over
Strap on. You are in for a rollercoaster in this season. You switch between who you like or dislike all the time. BTW, it was not his wife with Daemon in the end. It’s was the girl he was with in the brothel.
The ASOIAF books do have some HOTD spoilers, but that shouldn't necessarily discourage you from reading them. They're great. There hasn't been a King Baelor yet, so no Great Sept of Baelor. The massive building in Kings Landing is the Dragonpit, which the Targaryens built to stable their dragons. Viserys and Aemma are first cousins. Their parents were siblings. Targaryen incest for the win! Just to give some perspective of the distance to the original show. Maester Aemon was 102 when he died during Game of Thrones. We get to meet his great-grandfather during the course of this show.
I really loved the first season of this show. It felt like old Game of Thrones. like every episode was a weekly event. Had me giddy for that HBO logo and intro music again
“Are they at least drugging her with a ton of morphine?” No! That’s bad for the baby! Once she wasn’t the concern anymore she’s just a vessel for the next king.
Its easy, just remember Rhaenyra is the protagonist, Viserys (just like Daenerys brother) is the father and the uncle is Daemon. Then you have Alicent and Otto. More characters would show up in the next episodes. Also, the show improves from ep 5 to 10.
Just so you guys know, the book isn’t 100% factual to the game of thrones universe, the show is meant to be the accurate portrayal vs the book. The book is written as a series of accounts from side characters who have biased views!
More than even Rhaenyra, the person in that fictional world most loyal to Viserys--is his brother. His mother died when he was a toddler. Viserys was much older--he craves his approval and attention as if he *were* his son. You need to know a bit of the backstory to understand, but--yes. He and Rhaenyra are only... maybe in this, ten years apart? It's more pronounced of a gap in the books, but they aged her up for the show. Making the two of them not quite, but almost contemporaries with him at 24, and her at 15. And in the middle ages, girls were married and had children really, really young. Most women from back then in my family tree had theirs between 13-20, and died in their early to mid twenties. As you saw with Aemma, that was precisely that reason why. Aemma was very young when she died. But keep an eye out of Daemon's behaviour going forward. Decide if it's the throne he;s after, or his brother's attention, whatever he needs to do to get it and if it's psoitive or negative.
It is weird how emotional it was watching this first episode. The impact GoT had on us, we were all so emotionally invested, so this felt like coming home.
My take on Daemon is quite different. He is a complex character, but I don’t see him as a typical villain. When he was eavesdropping on the Small Council he smirked when his brother said he didn’t have the temperament to be king. You two thought that he might be thinking how wrong his brother was. I took it as him acknowledging that his brother knows him. I think he really does want to be the Hand of the King for his brother and he doesn’t trust Otto Hightower at all. At the funeral he was encouraging his niece to be there for her father. And at the brothel later he didn’t look like he was celebrating. He was sitting by himself drinking until he was encouraged to give a speech. We never saw the manner of the speech. So this could have been twisted to some degree by Otto. I’m not saying Daemon is a hero. But be careful with accepting the characterization of him by others without considering their own motives.
So glad to have you back again!!! Keep doing what you do, we love it… You saw the same dragon skull in GoT, Balerion in the dungeons. The swords thing isn’t really known re the Iron Throne when the extra ones got taken away, possibly when Robert got in there?? and the marble things on the small council table defs didn’t survive either and nor should they!!
You can actually predict the gender by the way the mom carries if it’s a boy their abdomen will be higher, plump and round if the abdomen is more of a rectangle shape and hangs lower most likely a female
The guy you were judging his accent, is Bill Patterson. He is a Native Glaswegian. Both him and the Bald Kingsguard are in Outlander. The big domed building is the Dragon Pit. It is where Jon Snow brought the captured Wight to show Cersei.
When it comes to the throne, the portrayal of I'm this is more accurate to the description of the throne. The throne in GoT is not as menacing with not nearly enough swords
They spelled it out in the beginning of the episode that the birthing bed is the woman’s battlefield. And then they contrasted the birth scene with the violent scenes at the tournament to drive home that message. The baby’s name Baelon is the name of the current King Viserys and Prince Daemon’s father. That Baelon was renowned as a great warrior.
The king getting cut on the chair there is a saying it suppose to be that if the king sits on the throne and gets cut it isn’t meant for them to be king. Viserys constantly gets cut when he sits on the throne... and no Dameon did not poison his the throne, he actually cares about his brother.
The throne is simply smaller in GOT due to budgeting in the earlier seasons. There simply does not need to be perfect continuity between the two shows, or perfect representation every object in either show. Just like the original 007 was a WWII veteran, but is still pretty young today, and is the same man, James Bond, we can suspend our disbelief and just accept it. None of it is real.
Ive just finished GOTs now to the house of the dragon!! From a loyal supporter from the north east (clearly the real north in the UK) lv the content keep up the great work.
From grr Martin daemon is the Best Targaryen he wrote. And also the chair cut the king because he make a mistake sending away his brother. He should trust him

I think he did make a drunken speech about how torn up he was about the loss, of not just the baby but Aemma, too--and one of Otto's spies heard it and words were shifted mjust enough to spin the actual fact into treason.
I absolutely believe Daemon said it, but probably in a far sadder and more somber way than in tone which Otto implicated him in so doing.
Dans les livres il est dit que ce n'est pas lui qui a dit ça mais un de ces hommes bourré, Otto a juste menti.

Most women from back then in my family tree had theirs between 13-20, and died in their early to mid twenties. As you saw with Aemma, that was precisely that reason why. Aemma was very young when she died.
But keep an eye out of Daemon's behaviour going forward. Decide if it's the throne he;s after, or his brother's attention, whatever he needs to do to get it and if it's psoitive or negative.
It is weird how emotional it was watching this first episode. The impact GoT had on us, we were all so emotionally invested, so this felt like coming home.
Can we call you, Sweet Summer Children again?
Happy new year!!!
Glad you started House of the Dragon! Season 2 should be released this summer if I'm not wrong
Game of Thrones books are amazing, Steejo. Storm of Swords is one of the best books ever written imo.
I have to agree with you. Im only up to the 3rd book but I'm reading it again for the 3rd time now actually before I move on to the next one lol
A generation is 20 years, not 50 years. HoTD takes place about 8-9 generations before GoT.
My take on Daemon is quite different. He is a complex character, but I don’t see him as a typical villain. When he was eavesdropping on the Small Council he smirked when his brother said he didn’t have the temperament to be king. You two thought that he might be thinking how wrong his brother was. I took it as him acknowledging that his brother knows him. I think he really does want to be the Hand of the King for his brother and he doesn’t trust Otto Hightower at all. At the funeral he was encouraging his niece to be there for her father. And at the brothel later he didn’t look like he was celebrating. He was sitting by himself drinking until he was encouraged to give a speech. We never saw the manner of the speech. So this could have been twisted to some degree by Otto. I’m not saying Daemon is a hero. But be careful with accepting the characterization of him by others without considering their own motives.
So glad to have you back again!!! Keep doing what you do, we love it…
You saw the same dragon skull in GoT, Balerion in the dungeons.
The swords thing isn’t really known re the Iron Throne when the extra ones got taken away, possibly when Robert got in there?? and the marble things on the small council table defs didn’t survive either and nor should they!!
You can actually predict the gender by the way the mom carries if it’s a boy their abdomen will be higher, plump and round if the abdomen is more of a rectangle shape and hangs lower most likely a female
Yess loved it!❤ Don't do my boy Daemon dirty like that though lol 😅
The guy you were judging his accent, is Bill Patterson. He is a Native Glaswegian. Both him and the Bald Kingsguard are in Outlander. The big domed building is the Dragon Pit. It is where Jon Snow brought the captured Wight to show Cersei.
This follows the dance of dragons book
Best Martin book ever!!!! This show will be fucking insane if they don’t FUCK IT UP!
im glad you guys enjoyed it. I was really skeptical at first, but when i saw this episode it sold me.
When it comes to the throne, the portrayal of I'm this is more accurate to the description of the throne. The throne in GoT is not as menacing with not nearly enough swords
They spelled it out in the beginning of the episode that the birthing bed is the woman’s battlefield. And then they contrasted the birth scene with the violent scenes at the tournament to drive home that message. The baby’s name Baelon is the name of the current King Viserys and Prince Daemon’s father. That Baelon was renowned as a great warrior.
The king getting cut on the chair there is a saying it suppose to be that if the king sits on the throne and gets cut it isn’t meant for them to be king. Viserys constantly gets cut when he sits on the throne... and no Dameon did not poison his the throne, he actually cares about his brother.
Daemons wife has not been introduced yet. Its not the lady you have seen so far her name is Mysaria
Ned might've seen the throne with a thousand blades when Jamie killed the mad king but I'm not sure. I'm sure the hard-core fans will know
The throne is simply smaller in GOT due to budgeting in the earlier seasons. There simply does not need to be perfect continuity between the two shows, or perfect representation every object in either show. Just like the original 007 was a WWII veteran, but is still pretty young today, and is the same man, James Bond, we can suspend our disbelief and just accept it. None of it is real.
No spoilers but Daemon is my favourite character! Hopefully you'll agree as you watch further episodes.
"Are you creamin' a little bit?? Over the throne..." 😆😆😆😆😆😆
Guess what
Targaryens aren't bad.
Cause they're people.
And like all people they can be different.
Oh man…. You’ll be very surprised. There’s not a single good person on this show lol
@@LS13. 🤦♂️

Bravo. ( Happy New Year ! )
This series is amazing!
Ive just finished GOTs now to the house of the dragon!! From a loyal supporter from the north east (clearly the real north in the UK) lv the content keep up the great work.
We have car inspections mandatory every year too😂😂
I am so glad you got The song of Ice and Fire books! They left a lot out in the show! You will love it Steejo!
From grr Martin daemon is the Best Targaryen he wrote. And also the chair cut the king because he make a mistake sending away his brother. He should trust him
Don’t be talking about my boo Daemon like that!!! lol. My fav character.
You two are the best . This is a great series .
I Listen to you guys on the way to work and let me just say, goals
its not 127 years...its 172 years before the birth of denarys...so basically 190 years before the events of game of thrones
In the states it differs from state on motor vehicles emissions testing requirements and vehicle operation functionality testing. So happy they're finally changing it to every other year in my state instead of once a year.
Just FYI, we DO have tests that cars have to pass in order to be deemed road worthy. It's different in different states I think, but where I live (Delaware) its a semi-annual thing.
A little background rhaenys is part baratheon so the guy calling her the queen who never was i related to her
Oh my gosh I’m sooooo excited for this
