In the books, Otto brought in a SHIT TON of cats to replace the ratcatchers😅
Yup he got 100 cats after it. but in the book i got the impression that otto didnt care i was surprised how angry about it he was in the show.
@@Dakblasta I like when the show does that; giving context and more meaning to stuff that would've just been a throwaway line in the books
@@Dakblasta When did he bring the cats? In the show he was fired right after he heard the news
@@rexibhazoboa7097it's not explained when tbh, but it had to be before aegon fired him, the accountings of what actually happened in the books can't really be taken as fact because they're just retellings from other people that were compiled into a story
Those cats definitely the ancestors of the one Arya was chasing around in Game of Thrones
Baela is 100% her fathers daughter.
She has subtle things she does with her performance that mirror Matt Smiths manurisums
They got cats to catch the rats. Thats why Arya is chasing cats in GOT
@@ryanwinn8031 sir pounce's ancestors 😁
I think a lot of people misinterpreted that last scene. If Alicent could stop the war, she would definitely do it. But it was punctuated, especially at the council we saw earlier that episode, that she is powerless now. There's no stopping Aegon. There's no stopping Cole and the army. And after being shamed by Aegon and always being that second son, there's definitely no stopping Aemond. Especially after Otto was removed. On the flip side, Rhaenyra can't stop Daemon either. The war is inevitable.
Harrenhal the most important place in the Riverland.Harrenhal Castle was damaged because it was burned by Balerion and caused all of Harrenhal's descendants to die, since then Harrenhal was handed over to Lord Strong.In the book it is described as a very mystical place
I think at the end of the conversation, when she was saying that her father is gone, Cole is away, Aemond is what he is = she has no power to now avoid it.
Yes that's exactly what she meant
I am HOWLING at the inhaler on the table. As a crippled asthmatic, I get it😂😂😂
The director confirmed that three of the eggs eventually become Daenerys Stormborn’s dragons. A change from the books, which imply that Helaena’s dragon Dreamfyre laid them.
Well if we say that danys eggs are dreamfyre's, then the eggs would already have been on the other side of the world for like 50 years.
@@jackoconor9920Indeed. I’ve seen people angry about this “change”, but I don’t think it matters much. No matter what happens, the eggs end up in Pentos.
@@HomoSolariignore my fellow book purists..... those annoying mf'ers get mad at everything.....
@@HomoSolari except they don't illyrio said he got them from the shadow lands not pentos
@@thatoneblackdude3333 Yeah he "said" that. Or because he was the Magister of Pentos he just already had them and made up some fantastical tale to make them even more alluring.
It's crazy how the two sides talking to each other might actually have been the final catalyst for this war to kick off and not the assassination attempts. It undoubtedly affirmed Rhaenyra's claim to the throne by clearing up the last words and made Allicent dig into her own views so that she doesn't have to admit she fucked up majorly.
Aegon doesn't drive his claim from the words that viserys said it,his claim is being the first born son of the king
It's not about Alicent admitting anything. The Council didn't believe her anyways. I think she was he only one who really believed it, and maybe Aegon a little. It's literally too late.
Daemon in Harrenhal was easily my favorite part of this episode. I already thought it looked like something out of a Gothic horror movie during the earlier seasons of GOT but damn they really amped it up here.
I got dark souls vibes 💀
@@goonboon878 Ayo? Word? New Londo?
@@spencerm5612 The Graceborne mod, tho? BRAHHH! Hopefully the modder gonna finish it, sooner or later.
Yeah GoT really downplayed Harrenhal. Aside from the ruined state and an increased prestige it wasn't treated much differently from any other castle. HotD is doing really well to capture the horror and gothic aspects of it that make people believe it is cursed.
17:55 what just happened?? I don’t even have my glasses on! 💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣
@10:45 what you heard was the wailing of the Wailing Tower. Is it haunted or does the wind pass through its cracks just so? Both, probably
When I watched the episode and young Rhaenyra appeared, I immediately thought of "little muffin face!" 😅
If you look closer at this episodes intro, you'll see jacerys' beheading and the ratcatchers hanging for it
*Jaehaerys
@@t.j._fury thanks, I get confused with the names sometimes 😁
@@goonboon878 no problem 😊
Everyone simping for Daemon when Rhaenys is the real star on the blacks.
Facts!!
Laris nickname should be "little toe".
Harenhall isn’t so much the site of battles as it is the site of many tragedies. The most infamous was when Aegon the Conqueror burned the castle with his dragon. They mentioned that exact event when pointing out how damp the castle is and how hard it is to be burned
Cats. And that's what continued. Remember Arya chasing cats in GOT?
GOTTA GIVE big respect to the dude with the eye patch, showing his modest package seconds after a MASSIVE HOG is being blown takes guts.
You win 😂😂😂😂
Everyone forgets that Alicent didn't just believe Viserys' last words, but that he specifically told her earlier that he had a dream of his son sitting on the Iron Throne. And alicent was right, it is too late
The ecomog max intro is 10/10.
You invited tyrion lannister as guest?? Genius!!
The score for these episodes are sooooo good. Rhaneyra going to meet Alicent…..🙌
Harrenhal is important from Aegon's original conquest. Aegon rolled up with 3 dragons and burned the entire castle, killing everyone and ending the House of Harren in like 2 days or some shit. That's the battle they talk about in GOT
Only once did Aegon fight with his 2 sisters and use 3 dragons at once during the war against Stark, Tully, and Lannister. In Harrenhall he conquest alone with Balerion not with 2 sisters
Aegon never fought the starks, hence why torrhen stark is known as the king who knelt
@@mostlytrue3150 I know he bends the knee but before he bends the knee he wants to fight Aegon with the Lannisters and House Gardner. After witnessing the defeat of the Lannisters and House Gardner he finally realized that the power of the 3 dragons, Aegon and his sisters could not be defeated, he finally bend the knee. Then this incident became known as The field of fire. This was the first time Aegon went to war with his sisters and 3 dragons (balerion, meraxes, Vhagar) at once, he had never fought with his sister after or before this incident.
@boniperman6092 it never says that torrhen stark went to fight with the gardners and the lannisters in the book. He went south to fight the targareans, he realized it was hopeless and chose to kneel instead of seeing all of his men be burnt alive
No. Aegon The Conqueror showed up ALONE with Balerion to Harrenhal and burned the castle, Harren The Black and his bloodline. You're getting confused with the Field of Fire.
The woman who told Damon he was going to die she might be similar to Milisandra
Yup, she’s a witch in the books
Daemon was standing by a Weirwood Tree. I think it a vision. Targaryens are know to have visions. The Old Gods inhabit the River lands. Harrenhall is near the Gods Eye. An island in a lake where the Old Gods and maybe the children of the forest still reside.
Sylvie was Aemond’s first bc Aegon took him there as a little boy. He goes back to her bc in their dynamic, he’ll always be a little boy. Listen to how she talks to him, both seasons. Paid worked or not, she’s far too comfy with this Mary Kay Letourneau-esque relationship. She had sex with a child and his sexual development is forever owned and controlled by her/that experience.
See how he doesn’t even really want her kissing him? He really only knows how to get motherly soothing by giving her something in return: sexual contact.
It’s a common thing with adult survivors of sex abuse. Sad.
Daemon loves Rhaenyra. I think they’re taking him on a redemption arc
That's an...optimistic view..
Oh sweet summer child
In the book Otto Hightower replaced the rat catchers with 100 cats😁
I love this youtube channel
No lie I never skip the intro either😂😂
I love this show so much
0:55 in the book Otto brings in 100 cats
you guys are one of my faves 🖤
team black!!!
Fun fact, the Blackwood who was talking all the shit at the beginning was the same kid who killed the Bracken shit-talker back when Rhaenyra was looking for a husband
Hope you three are having an great and awesome day ❤
So, Alicent at first was dead set on the fact that they are going to war anyway because Rhaenyra doesn't have an army and she had Jahaerys killed, which Rhaenyra disputed. But AFTER Alicent realizes that she heard Viserys wrong, the reason she is still saying "it's too late" is because she doesn't have the power anymore to change anything. That's why she said her father was gone from the Council, Cole is on the march, and Aemond and Aegon don't listen to/obey her. Basically, she's telling Rhaenyra this boulder has already been started rolling down the mountain and there is nothing Alicent can do to change that.
And honestly, there was never anything Alicent could do to change this outcome. Otto and the Council had already had a whole plot and plan in motion behind Alicent's back; the were set to usurp the throne already, they were just thrilled that Alicent brought them this tale of Viserys changing his mind at the last minute to give their plan some legitimacy. Really, Alicent gets a lot of hate as being the one who set everything in motion when it was actually Otto who did it.
What we _actually_ hate Alicent for is her self-righteous holier-than-thou attitude while being a total hypocrite...which most holier-than-thou people I've ever known are. She sets my nerves on edge because I've dealt with people like her in real life with their performative virtue, acting like they are the holiest people in the world second only to JC Himself, and all the while they are cheating, lying, and doing all the the things they condemn others for. Alicent wears that crown to church like it's her halo, and in the meantime she's sleeping with Cole.
And to be clear, she is a widow, a single lady, so she can sleep with whoever she wants. But she can't condemn others for sleeping around, AND she's doing this with a man who took a vow of chastity. SHE considers this a sin, but she keeps doing it.
Daemon was kinda right about Rhaenyra, she doesn't have that dawg in her.
It's always easier to send other people's children to die than do the hard work of diplomacy, sure.
Dat dragon in her
Exactly 💯 shouldn’t have took you to here alicent or even have a conversation after everything that has happened and it was dumb anyways. You know your father always wanted u as queen so what did that matter for 😭 she hasn’t been acting like the queen maybe she will now
Daemon is still on her side and now that she is queen, he is to referred to as 'your grace' as well. The same way Alicent is cause she was married to a monarch. He's Your grace, Prince Daemon, King consort to the Queen.
The husbands in the monarchy do not take the title of king. This is for two reasons: the title of king can only be inherited, and because the king always outranks the queen.
Rhaenyra is Queen by birth/inheritance through her father King Viserys.
Daemon is and will only ever be a Prince so he has not earned the title of Your Grace - that title is reserved for the King or Queen.
@@DazzleDen He is the King Consort, Prince Daemon and therefore is, your grace.
I missed Otto's presence this episode. He might be my favorite character. Yeah he does awful things, but so do many people's favorite characters
10:41 caraxes definitely would be rockin black forces💀
I think you guys misinterpreted Alicent and Rhaenyra's scene, Alicent was clearly in denial because she realized everything that has happened in her life has been for nothing and she stole Rhaenyra's birthright over a misunderstanding (they need to stop naming everyone Aegon). Alicent is powerless right now; her father has been exiled, her sons hate her, Aegon is mad as hell over his son, no one listens to her at the Small Council, there's nothing she can do now to help Rhaenyra. If Rhaenyra had answered her ravens sooner the baby's murder would have been avoided and they wouldn't be in this situation.
“She’s getting clapped by security” 😂
The tapestry had some new weaves added …..
alicent truly believed that viserys changed his mind. that is the tragedy of this, but it wouldn’t have mattered. otto would have usurped rhaenyra regardless
Being waiting for y'all reaction.
hi folks!
17:57
Alicent chose 🤷🏽♂️ it’s to late I don’t wanna hear nun else about peace or alternatives
Harrenhall was melted by Aegon the conqueror.
Technically Balerion melted Harrenhall 😉
House of the Dragon-Eater
I hate how Rhaena is treated in the show. Her and Baela should just run off with Rhaenys and leave everyone else. Also her dragon egg is supposed to be pink I hate they keep trying to take away what makes her unique in canon.
I believe her dragon egg was one of those in the case
@@latishabuckner8231 she literally brought up her deceased mother and was interrupted.
i mean Rhaena did this in the books right?
@@blerdywifey no
I believe with 100% of my being that Daemon never truly intended a child to be killed. The plan was to kill Aemond if possible, the scene where Aemond picks up a gold Dragon coin the assassins dropped in his bedchambers proves that, but move on to another son of royal blood if that doesn’t work. However, Blood & Cheese were supposed to fail. Daemon had no way of knowing that Aemond would be away or that Criston Cole would be fucking the dowager Queen instead of guarding the Royal wing. It was about sending a message. ‘You can get to us, we can get to you’. There’s historical precedent for such things having a massive impact. Aegon the Conquerer himself agreed to a peace deal that granted Dorne its independence when the prince of Dorne handed him a letter giving details of how easily a Faceless Man could infiltrate and kill his heir. Daemon knows this story as he’s been shown reading books about Targaryens history. Daemon could have easily hired a few legendary Sellswords or even his own Faceless Man, but he didn’t. He chose two disposable villains and set them against the best fighters in Westeros, Aemond and the Kingsguard. Daemon is genuinely horrified by what happened as is shown by his reaction during his vision/dream. His claims that it was a mistake are sincere. Harrenhall is canonically haunted AF and people dream of truths they dare not speak aloud. I tell you, every moment of this show is like a gift to those of us that love the world of ‘A Song Of Fire & Ice’!!.
You guys gotta react to Red One Trailer with Dwayne Johnson
Cole may be stupid but Geoffrey was EVIL
Daemon is not just doing this for himself. He is the King Consort, he should be called Your Grace. Taking the Harrenhal is a key strategic decision for Team Black and for Rhaenyra.
The husbands in the monarchy do not take the title of king. This is for two reasons: the title of king can only be inherited, and because the king always outranks the queen.
Rhaenyra is Queen by birth/inheritance through her father King Viserys.
Daemon is and will only ever be a Prince so he has not earned the title of Your Grace - that title is reserved for the King or Queen.
@@DazzleDen Ep.1x03 Viserys says "Rhaenyra has come of age. She must needs marry a high lord who will honor her, defend her, and serve her as king consort."
Ep. 1x05 Joffrey L. to Laenor: "Rhaenyra will be Queen and you will be her King Consort."
Westerling: "Ser Laenor Velaryon, heir to Driftmark and future King Consort."
Ep. 1x07 Rhaenys to Corlys "[Leanor] will be King Consort."
Ep. 2x02 Rhaenys: "Devotion has never sat well with him [Daemon]. Where he goes, he wishes to be his own master."
Corlys: "He is the king consort."
Rhaenys: "But he is not the king."
I think it's important to Daemon that he and Rhaenyra would be recognised as a ruling couple, not Helaena and Aegon. Westeros is not UK, they might have different rules.
