wild start
Helena is a dreamer = she sees the future. It’s happened multiple times in season 1
Haelena can see the future but it's always cryptic
Wild subtitles
wild is an understatement. this was so dark.
Is there anyway to access the dune 2 reaction? IDC if y'all "talk too much" or w/e
notice when helena says “not the dragons, the rats” she looks at her sons bed
Omg the for shadowing is crazyyyyy Ian even Elise this till ep 2😭😭😭😭
Also the thing she's sewing in that scene is the funeral shroud her son is wrapped in at his funeral which is also foreshadowing
That scene between Rhaenyra and Jace just ripped me. Remember, it was Jace who suggested that Rhaenyra send them as envoys instead of ravens. He must feel so much guilt, compounded by grief. Outstanding performances by both actors.
This makes me think that Jace might act irrationally to try to avenge his brother.
It's been a couple of days to sit with this but yeah, the immense pain and guilt. It poured through the scene. I felt both of their feelings and cried with them.
Not everyone can pull that off
Yep amazing scene indeed
Syrax was grieving because Arrax, Lucery's dragon was her child
Excellent catch
And also dragons have a really deep connection to their riders so Syrax felt both pains, the one from herself of losing Arrax and the one from Rhaenyra losing Lucerys.
Damn didn’t know that. I thought she was grieving cause dragons can feel their rider’s pain
@@flowy6441 do dragons grieve for their children??
@@happilyevernever4289 No they don't, they don't raise them... it's the connection with the rider.
“You stab me in my sleep? In trying to watch bluey tomorrow.” BRO LMAO
Dark af
Fun Fact: Rhaenyra’s sole line in this episode is 'I want Aemond Targaryen.'
"put on my cape so I can become supermad" Y'ALL ARE KILLING ME
It’s interesting to see that Aemond and Aegon aren’t as stupid as Alicent and Otto think. They’re thinking about how they could manipulate Aegon but they both clocked it 😭
Lol they were NEVER “sTupId” at all as they just undermined their own children. They have brilliant minds of their own but Alicent and Otto are too conceited to see that.
Think we need to start paying more attention to Helena. If you go back to season one episode 6, when Alicent tells Aemond, “He will have a dragon,” then Helena says, “He’ll have to close an eye,” then in the next episode with Aemond getting his dragon, he also loses an eye. There are a couple more times where she basically predicts what will happen.
Good job detective
Beware the beast beneath the boards. Hand turns loom, spool of green, spool of black, dragons of flesh weaving dragons of thread.
@lgth.jne2Hard to pay attention of them when the shiw never focuses on them.
in the book she also predicts the white walkers and the dead arriving too, in a buncha weird ways
@lgth.jne2 Sorry, I was mistaken. It's a different character. Helena in the books had no prophetical abilities
Ending the first season with a child getting munched by a dragon and then starting the second season with a child getting beheaded is some wild shit.
Even more crazy, in the book they make Helaena chose who dies then lean in and say “hear that your mother wants you dead” then they kill the heir.
@@joekellyoudon’t forget the part where they threatened to R*pe the daughter first in front of her.😢 people who supported blood and cheese are sick 🤮
Child vs baby
Helaena has some sort of future visions, she also predicted things in season 1. Here she said at the beginning she fears for the rats, she already knew her son will be killed, so she tried to avoid it by using the necklace but it became clear it can't be avoided. She was shocked and speechless so she took the chance to save her daughter atleast.
Dragon Dreams Viserys called it.
All Targaryens do. Some stronger than others.
I mean, constantly having GUARDS could have.
Her visions are nothing to what Daenys had she alone Saved the entire family from the Doom
@@everforward5561 the commander of the kingsguard was fcking the widow queen, so he probs ordered the guards to be away from the royal chambers
The fact that Criston wasn't guarding the door because he was with Alicent is crazy.
Ay yo, he was just guarding the Queen's secret tunnel.
@@LuxLoser 😭😭😭

Nice edit at 9:59😂 *"Let's f*ck them up!"* When Syrax start roaring.
the one at 19:00 too LOL
I had to rewind lol. I was like did I see that correctly lol
@@TexasNightmare210 😂
No edit. It was in the official HBO subtitles
@@the_morf imagine if the official subs just said *angry dragon noises*
Afraid not of dragons but of rats. That not just fantasy that’s real life stuff. Do be afraid of the person who comes at you straight beware the person who sneaks and stabs you while you sleep or are unaware.

A lot of reactors seem to have completely missed that the rat catcher _specifically_ asked Daemon: "What if we can't find him?". Daemon gives a little smile and it cuts away. He basically told them to be Denzel. I.e "I'm leaving here with _something_ ".
Also Halena is a dreamer. Viserys told us in season 1 that some Targaryans are dreamers. I.e are clairvoyant. You remember season 1 when she said: "The beast beneath the floor" then Rhaenys came up through the floor with hee dragon at the end of the episode? Her cryptic words are a huge hint as to something bad happening that episode.
its lowkey getting sad for me that people are needing details like that explained through dialog these days
No daemon didn't grin his mouth didn't even move. And I bet the words he told them were " a son for a son no head no gold" they say both phrases and we didn't see daemon tell them that on screen so likely when they cut away. I seen a video and in the video they said the director or whatever mentions that blood and cheese acted on their own. Likely wanting to leave quickly ( mostly cheese)
@@sh0ts420tbh it wasn’t made clear enough, I’ve only seen 1 reactor channel realise it. You basically need to know what’s going to happen already to make the connection in your first watch
Really cause some reactors did notice it
@@sh0ts420People have short attention spans and can’t comprehend scenes unfortunately
15:10 Aemond said “we should use our dragons to take Harrenhal” but then Alicent pointed out, “we need Vhagar to stay in King’s Landing to deter Rhaenyra attacking with HER dragons” - it’s like chess, or you know, naval warfare…if I send my battleship to attack a port it leaves my port undefended. Dragons or battleships can only be in one place at a time.…ah…it’s like Attack on Titan at the start of Season 4: “Why didn’t Marley send all of its Titan Shifters to our island, only some of them?” “They need to keep at least a few at home base to deter attack from other enemy countries”
Is aot worth watching? I was a biblical addict of season 1 but I never watched more cuz I heard very bad things
@@miketrujillo3677 yes
@@miketrujillo3677 its super worth it
@@miketrujillo3677you need to go watch the rest of the show
@@miketrujillo3677 those bad things were only trolls. Everybody think that AOT is masterpiece.......because it is.
Lol the Queen is not crazy at all.She's clairvoyant.She saw it happening,hence the "I'm afraid of the rats".
But that goes for the rat snatchers and the rats/people.
They watered it down lol
Daemon purposefully sends Blood and Cheese to Helaena’s quarters, and after being asked to pick which child to kill, they threaten to assault her daughter. Whilst crying, she points to her youngest son Maelor, and Blood cuts his head off with one swing of a sword in front of her.
Also Cole should've been Guarding the Queen and her children,instead....
They cut the oldest sons head instead* they leave Maelor alive and whisper to him that his mom wanted him dead
No way Cole wasn't guarding cause he was getting cheeks!!! FIRE THIS MAN
@@WerewolfRiver we?? i dont hate him. he was used by a sico girl who only care about power for her family.
@@yesimarangel yeah thanks I meant to say that.
Is it me, or are they really giving Cole the Jaime treatment or something
The talk with Jace and Cregan made me mad all over again because if NO DRAGON ever went beyond the wall IT WAS FOR A REASON😂fucking Dany’s dragon said “nah I’d win” And got folded
I mean it could’ve been that the magic protecting the wall was fading by the time Daenerys came around also probably wouldn’t effect Drogon as he was actually birthed with blood magic unlike all the other dragons who were just hatched. That could be a solid answer as to why her dragons could pass but others couldn’t and wouldn’t.
@@Mcherri Or D&D just stopped trying once they realized they had the finish the story themselves.
I understand, yeah, the bit about the dragons refusing to go beyond the wall is canon in the book. D&D changed a lot for shock value and enterteining purposes, not saying such changes couldn't be enyojable or fun to watch for some, but it is important to notice that the showrunners of House of the Dragon are trying to be more book acurate / respecful than the last seasons of GoT.
thats not true, dannys dragon didn't cross the WALL the first time, they took a different approach by crossing the great lake and after that they were able to cross again.
I like this take a lot, i find story problems and writing issues in the show of course - but there still is a lot of good about every part of GoT@Mcherri
So Helaena, the woman at the end who ran with her remaining child is a dragon dreamer. It’s practically having premonitions, dreams or visions of things before they happen and they can often be prophetic. We can see this when Helaena mentions a “beast beneath the boards” which was Rhaenys coming through with her dragon during Aegon’s coronation. We get another example in this episode when she mentions being afraid of the rats, which is a nod to the man (cheese) who said she was “telling true” as he is the castles rat catcher. Helaena often also struggles to get a grasp or understanding of what she has dreams about and many just believe her to be crazy because when she does speak of them they don’t make much sense, as you saw in the episode.
When Daemon is also meeting with Blood and Cheese (the two men who offed Helaena’s son) he mentions that they might have an issue with confronting Aemond due to him being a good warrior and then they ask what if they can’t find him before it cuts to another scene. It’s assumed by a lot of people that after they asked that Daemon replied with a son for a son and just settled for getting one of the king’s children in turn.
In the books instead of the necklace, Helaena offers herself instead but I like the differences they have in the show. Anyways, Helaena along with her children are probably the only innocent people on team Green that really didn’t deserve anything that happened to them. Her story is a tragic one for real. 😭
I hated that they didn't show the only time that Helaena showed courage, when (in the book) she offered her own life if Blood & Cheese would spare her child(ren). I think that makes more sense than her offering of a necklace.
@@gailf1617 I do agree a bit for that part! when I was mentioning that scene and the differences in the show I was mostly using it as an umbrella term for other scenes that they changed. Sorry if I confused anyone with that 😭 I’m not good at putting thoughts into words sometimes
Exactly!! 😢😢😢😢
Hm... isn't Heleana's dragon named Dreamfyre?
@@blackdwarfstar1246 Yes, Dreamfyre is Helaena’s dragon
Phia who plays Helaena said that why she pointed at her son was because she needed to be honest the first time. She couldn’t risk losing both by lying or screaming etc.. she knew how serious the situation was
Now Alicent and Otto’s plan is done. They thought aegon would tire of rule, but now he won’t stop until he has revenge.
Rightly so at this point. That shit was mental
@@marti9734rightly so? that rapist can’t be mad abt shit
“Put my cape on so I can be Super Mad” is something I plan on perpetuating throughout my household. Diabolical word play in its greatest form
fun fact, because ser criston cole and alicent were getting groofy, Criston called off all the Kings/queens guards , and Criston cole normally protects the Queens chambers, [Aka helaena]
This was never confirmed tho. Fan theory. Bit extravagant to call off the guards in two floors just to have some
Yeah... I don't think Helaena was thinking about how her son was probably gonna die in the future and making a play, I think she was just scared that they'd kill both the kids if she didn't hurry up, and just picked one out of impulse...
no she was definitely thinking his son's potential monarch future. It was mentioned in the first minutes of the episode, Helena doesnt want his son to be a king. It's called Chekov's gun, the clue was set up and then there's a payoff
@@Playradise it's not that Helaena didn't want her boy to be king, but she was afraid for him and didn't like how Aegon was trynna raise him. It doesn't mean she premeditated her own son's murder. She literally chose to tell the truth coz that way they could get away and Helaena could atleast have saved her daughter and herself from further harm. That's one of the biggest reasons why Helaena would be tormented by the role she played in her son's demise. It wasn't coz she didn't want him to be king but coz she thought she had no other choice and opted to survive with her daughter instead. Otherwise, all three could've possibly been killed if they got pissed off by a different answer.
@@happilyevernever4289 oh my god you're just paraphrasing what i meant bro, she was afraid of him bcoming a king so she doesnt want it. U think theres a reality where being a king doesnt come with the horrors? No bro they come in one package
@Playradise you're slow 😂 not wanting him to be a king = choosing him to die ? That's dumb of you but honestly it makes since you think this way since they changed the scene ,the original scene in the book ,she offered herself and begged and begged and even chose the youngest, not him ,she doesn't want any of her children to die
@@niraxlevi9930 you a goddamn brain dead in that moment clearly she could she she wouldnt be able to sway the killers not to kill so she decided to relent and give her son bcause she thought it would be better than being a king anyway with all the horrors that would come wth it. Did i say she wanted the son to die? Hell no what mother would want that, but that moment she had no choice. I sugget you go to school bcause clearly you a moron, or better yet dont breed and spread your stupidity. Waste of cum
The actor who plays blood is that his real voice? because holy hell.
Deeeeeep as fk 😳
The opening titles being a tapestry that shows the entire history of house Targaryen from the Doom all the way to now in the show is beautiful!
During my reaction, hearing the bone crunching and sawing of the kids heads in my headphones was INSANE. Speechless lol
I was actually feeling scared for a second there before they transitioned to Helaena barging into Crispy Cole banging Helaena's mom and the latter having a low tier reaction.😂😂😂
17:15 somebody turn that into a meme 😂😂
Word!!😂😂
Omg plz!!!!!! "Let it burn" sheera has to happen 😂
In the books the Blood and Cheese was far worse. Blood and Cheese had a more elaborate plan where they held Alicent hostage and waited for Helaena to visit with the children. They forced Helaena to choose who to kill, Aegon’s first son Jaehaerys or his second son Maelor. Helaena chose to save Jaehaerys because he was the heir (being more valuable) and hoped that Maelor was too young to understand what was going on. So Blood and Cheese told Maelor that his mother wanted him dead and killed Jaehaerys instead. Maelor was old enough to understand and remember what happened and Helaena became distraught over her son’s death and her guilt for choosing to kill her surviving son.
Where are you getting that Maelor remembered? Also these accounts are not 100% reliable
Maelor was cut for the show, that's so sad
That pic about Naval war had me dying 🤣🤣🤣
"Do we slide on the opps tonight" 😂😂
They completely misunderstood what Helaena did……she didn’t “sacrifice” Jaehaerys because “she didn’t want him to be king.” They were gonna find out who the boy was anyway (they threatened to undress the kids) so they would have known if she lied and possibly all of them would have been killed. Helaena assumed they would think she was bluffing (like Blood did) but Cheese knew she was telling the truth. But she never wanted the son to die because she didn’t want him to be king. That’s a huge reach of a conclusion honestly 😭
They made Helaena basically neurodivergent and in a different state of mind. I know people wanted her to scream but her expressions really shines here. Phia did such a wonderful job.
they better start listening to helaena lmao she a bit off but she'll never tell a lie!
yeah she's a bit eccentric nothing wrong with that🍀 the helaena slander must stop I swear🥲🌻 people be making fun of my girlie for no reason..sure she's a bit odd but the best kind of odd ⚡
@@giselle1929she didn’t fight for her children at all bruh. Book Helaena did though
@@mememachine147 I know this scene was underwhelming for some of y'all i can understand..but I personally am content with how it went down..the show portrayed the helplessness in helaena's eyes perfectly because of how she was forced to choose between her children...her reaction to it all aligns with her character in s1...and I don't think some people would've taken this scene very well if it was done by the book⚡ but still.. helaena slander hurts lol
She going to be like “dolphine” and still going to be left confused.
@@mememachine147 trying to fight B&C would've got them all killed
This season is gonna be seasoned
Heavily 😂
I read that Rhaenyras dragon was the mother of Luke’s dragon, so they both were mourning loss of their sons 😔
Roshi saying Lisan Al Gaib during that emotional scene caught me so off guard, bro had me dying 😂
Weird how there were no guards around anywhere, especially during a war.
And it was in the Royal quarter of the castle, and not a guard in sight.
Wild how you guys missed bill from warrior being the blacksmith hugh hammer who asked for money to build weapons
Edit: he’s at 11:02
"Put my cape on so i can be supermad" is legitimate genius 💀💀
FYI, 7:08 If yall like Assassins Creed, Allen the man who saved Corlys, his actor played Bayek from Assassins Creed Origins!!!!!!!!!
BAYEK OF SIWA???
Bayek the OG
im not sure if anyone has commented this but in the novel: Aegon & Halaena already had 3 children by this point; the 7 year old twins Jahaerys and Jahaera, and 2 year old Maelor. when Blood and Cheese arrived in her chambers, they told her to choose either of the sons to kill as she "had a debt to pay". she was very reluctant and told them to take her life instead but eventually chose Maelor because perhaps he was still little and wouldn't remember a thing. they then told him "you hear that boy? your mother wants you dead" before beheading Jahaerys in his stead.
it's crazy how HBO didn't stick 100% to the source material but still managed to capture how dark and grim the circumstance was. unfortunately they diluted it with goof grandma and superbad's sex scene :/
10:00 Two mothers were mourning their children's deaths on the beach. Luke's dragon was also Syrax's son. 🥲
You guys saw that after saying that she is afraid of the rats she looked directly at the cradle of little Jaehaerys, she had a prophetic dream about the death of her own son. And before Aegon entered the room, Helaena said, "They just want the boy."
this episode just keep proving that both sides are pure evil and that all of them needs to go.
Definitely! They are so toxic except for a few characters who're not corrupted by power and vengeance like Halaena and Daeron.
I don’t think anyone is this show is evil. I find that too be a very honestly shallow representation of all the characters in this show. We can’t really view these times with modern lens . They all have their reasons, goals, morals and etc. some are definitely more evil than others but I think most of them are just…idk
@@flameron1 both sides dont really care about the realm and the people in it, they just want power and revenge for their own families, and the people of the city are paying the price.
I don't think Helena made any "choice". She froze up, panicked and pointed at the son. She knew if she said the daughter and they found out, they would kill all 3 of them. She did what she could and escaped with her daughter.
Nephew? That’s Rhaenyras brother, Aemond, Aegon, and Helaena are siblings of Rhaenyra or were you guys talking about Daemon. Also Blood and Cheese was all orchestrated from Daemon. Cheese asked him what if we can’t find him (Aemond), then Daemon smirks at both of them implying to kill another son. That’s why both the assassin were so compliant with killing a kid.
They were probably talking about Daemon
They figured it out in the full reaction like 2 seconds later just didn’t add it into this video
They actually tamed this scene down from the books. In the books both children are awake and they make Helana chose. She choses and then they kill the opposite child. After they kill the child they look at the surviving child and say to it - See there, your mama wanted you dead. So it was like a double edged blow that the child would never forget and tortured Helena.
Yea its a shame they cut all that man. I dont care abt the gore or whatever but the emotional dmg hits harder in the book
Helena see’s visions and speak metaphorically. In the books; I believe they said Daenys the dreamer was the one who saw a vision about the doom, magic runs through Targaryen blood which explains the tie to dragons and wanting the bloodline to be pure by insect. Luv y’all content tho🤎🤎🤎
Not Bill O'Hara out here making dragon crossbows
16:46 "Lisan Al Gaib" LMFAO bro this took me out
They ask what should they do if they fail to find aemond and then the camera cuts away as daemon smiles, then they say, he said a son for a son, something that we never hear daemon say but I doubt these two dudes just came out with that, daemon clearly is to blame for this
No one cares, its war
daemon dont care
He should because that’s one of the reasons Rhaenyra gets kicked out of the city and dies.
@@abdirizakm9426 daemon dont care and all of aegon lines die out while the blacks survive
@@Drpavel564 No it's not, you are overlooking some very big key details.
Those Grey Beards AKA Winter Wolves are gonna be fucking Tough. I can’t wait to see them in action.
Lupa always look stressed in these thumbnails😂
Helaena gets visions about the future (ex; "he'll have to close an eye" in response to Aemond wanting a dragon). A theory I've seen is that Helaena thought she was actively in a vision when Blood and Cheese happened. That's why she said "no" afterwards because she realized it was real
Don't forget Helena is clairvoyant and she seen her options and how things were gonna play out. So when it happened she immediately got detached and went into shock
That laugh track at 19:25 got me. 🤣🤣🤣
The castle is well guarded on the outside by Vhagar, while on the inside Criston guards Alicent's bed
Not sure if you guys know this, but, both Rhaenyra and her dragon were grieving when they found the remains. Arax was Syrax’s hatchling. She wasn’t feeling her riders pain, she was feeling her own.
Aegon lls son was the backup plan if they couldn’t find Aemond. Dameon’s smirk when Cheese asked “what if we can’t find him?” Alluded to that
Lol we just ignoring Roshis take on boats and boarding? That's shit was wild
15:26 not sure if yall were talking about Daemon or Rhaenyra murdering but Aemond is Rhaenyra's half brother not nephew
Aemond is both nephew and brother to Rhaenyra because Viserys is also his father and Daemon is Viserys’s brother. She’s his aunt by marriage.
@@MrTREEHUNTER22 oh yeah u right, can't believe I forgot about that. I always just see them as siblings lol
@@MrTREEHUNTER22 so i've seen somewhere Aemond and Lucerys be referred as cousins could u explain that? Cause I know Luke is his nephew but can't see how they cousins
In the books this was slightly different because they made the mom choose between her two sons (there was an extra toddler boy who doesn't seem to exist in the TV version) but I'm wondering if they changed it to make succession a more interesting question within the Green faction. The succession question in the Dance is essentially- does the king's word decide who his heir is or is it decided by precedent from previous choices that have been made when there was a question of succession? If the king's word decides, Aegon is a usurper but if Aegon's saying he's the rightful heir due to precedent... then he has to pass over his daughter and make his brother Aemond his heir, since the precedent they're following places a king's brothers above his daughters. So by giving him only a daughter left instead of her & the other son, now Aegon's got to make a choice to choose his daughter (undermining the strength of his own claim against Rhaenyra) or pass her over for his brother.
Well at the start they (the greens and the kingdoms) went with the female heir over the kings brother, its not tell the king had a son that people changed ship over too the son. I think they just changed this too have this part be very different cause son for a son would work with either. In the books blood and cheese made her choose just too mess with her I guess and they killed the one she didn't choose so she would have to live with the son she knew she choose too die. Kinda not as good as in the books plus the walking in on sex part seemed a bit of bad timing in what was meant to be tense.
Remember the Queen is also the king's sister, and she speaks in prophetic riddles
10:00 that Dragon translation 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The ending is brutal for a parent like me. Many book purists are complaining "that wasn't in the book, etc..." the scene made it clear (and the sound)..it served it's purpose.
🇵🇭
A bunch of whiners they are. Never satisfied, even if it were a one to one recreation, they would still find things to nitpick. The scene was visceral enough as it was done.
Naww. You can't really make it exactly book accurate because that would be traumatizing to the child actors. (Like yeah I'd leave the icky child grape threat and the snuff scene out of the screens too) But I atleast expected the psychological aspect of B&C's cruelty to be shown more. Like it could've been way more suspenseful this way. They could've kept the children awake, afraid and rooted to the spot when Helaena chooses her infant baby boy instead to save the twins. Since in her mind it makes sense since she has more connection with the older kids and she thinks the baby would suffer less compared to older ones who are old enough to remember and understand.
But then B&C would show yet another one of their cruel tricks by killing the older twin boy. While Helaena now has to live with the guilt of her elder son's murder and with the guilt that her surviving son would grow up to know she chose to have him dead. That alone would've made Helaena's character much more engaging and tragic, plus there would be a natural progression of why Helaena goes mad with grief and offs herself later on. Like the mental torture is triple-fold with this scenario than what we got on-screen.
Also, Christon and Alicent banging in the end, while Alicent reacts so half-heartedly after hearing the bad news from her daughter just ruins the scene for me. I couldn't help but snort.😂😂 Also they could've had the maid go tell the others about her suspicions but by the time they got to Helaena, it was already too late or something. So many things could've been done to make this scene more chilling and scary without actually traumatizing the child actors.
@@happilyevernever4289Remember that the book is an unreliable narrative.
Nah but they should've elaborated the scene of the choice between the kids more, Would have made a greater impact
They're literally child-brained, it's such an inane take.
A lot of people did not like Haelena's reaction but people forget in this adaptation she is neurodivergent. On top of that, everybody reacts to shocking and dangerous situations diferently. You could see the horror in her eyes, especially in the end.
I thought her reaction, as from the actor, was superb. So believable.
I think it is more too the fact that this is just less interesting and kinda makes her running away less dramatic. Also shes not neurodivergent she has real future sight that fucks with her head but doesnt really make her any less social or able to emote. In fact we saw her last season jump from much smaller things and react too visions. Here the real kicker though if she was really going too not scream and instead freeze up how was she able to just pick up her kid walk right too her moms room and tell em whats up? Seems like if she was gonna freeze she should have just been frozen stiff.
20:16 most violent scene in GoT history lol
Appreciate yall and the editor getting this to us ASAP!
“I’m tryna watch bluey tomorrow” 💀💀
Surprised roshi didn’t realize that the blacksmith was his favorite cop bill from warrior 😂😂😂
Wait... What? That's Bill from Warrior? 😲
Many missed it 😂
Byeee not him saying lisan al-gaib when jace was MOURNINGG 🤣🤣🤣
No, Halaena was supposed to choose her smallest kid (she was supposed to have three kids) cuz she thought of the 3 the smallest one wouldn't even understand what was going on and still they killed Jahaerys.
Remember Haleana has visions, she foresaw blood and cheese (the assassins)
16:10 I think a lot of it is also Jace was the one that suggested for Him and his brother to personally go as messengers for the Great Houses. (Jace would blame himself for his brother’s death.)
The way I interpreted the last scene was Haelena pointed out the son because she assumed they'd think she gave it up too easy like one of them did.
I just started reading the books and what's cool is that at this point in time cregan stark just had to handle his uncle for trying to usurp the throne of the north. That's why cregan speaks with such honor and responsibility.
I wonder how many people caught the "Let's fuck them up!" LOL
The Queen was not talking about the rats in the wall. She was talking to people who are rats. Damon, for what he did is a rat. The dudes, what they did is a rat. Her son plotting against her is a rat. the foot dude, is a rat. Rats inside the castles are humans, not the animals?
Yes Roshi, don't stop your boat and they'll just follow you until you run out of food and water if they don't just throw fire arrows and burn your boat down 😅
Aemond would be Raenerya’s half brother
What makes it even sadder is that Alicent genuinely feels terrible about Luce's death and said his name while lighting her prayer candles. Then boom, all the Blood and Cheese shit goes down...
True but she was an idiot she really believed that she would face no consequences of her actions the greens are that delusional yes she said she was expecting rhaenyera to attack for Luc hence why they had vhagar protecting kings landing but they put to much faith in vhagar and got to lax. The worse thing was there was no punishment to aemond of luc’s death perhaps if aegon actually offered rhaenyera aemond in return she would’ve bent the knee and had aemond executed by daemon that probably would’ve solved a lot of problems but no they just let it go thinking nothing would come from it.
@@McherriI’m pretty sure it’s clear she is very aware of the consequences that war is coming. She would just rather do her best to mitigate the chances of 100% war with some sincerity. Everybody knew what comes of this. Nobody was gonna let aemon die.
As if it matters. She made that boy live in shame for something he had no control over, poiting out he and his brothers were bastards at any chance she could get, but she sent an apology letter and lit a candle when her son killed him so it should be all cool, right?
Alicent raised monsters for a person who is so self-righteous 😂
@Chasingdreams25 To be real though, in S01, Alicent was right to call out the Strong boys. That was 100% justifiable.
IMO, while I am definitely team black, this could have all been avoided by naming her kid something different. Lol
@@QuickstrikeTRU I mean…it’s not that simple? For the same reason too. A noble name is way too important in medieval . It’s their legacy, tradition and set there life almost basically. If those kids weren’t named Targaryen they probably would have been executed.
15:51 😂😂 We should've slid on the opps like a week ago actually
Big Bill from Warrior playing the Master smith lol
And if y’all didn’t know Syrax is the mother of Rhaenyra’s children’s dragons that’s why she was sad too
Not the Lisan al Ghaib call out😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭
3:25 yeah I know about the office elevator, but we’re talking about this medieval show
Aemond is Rhaenyra’s half brother not nephew, but I know it can be confusing
I wasn’t ready for that Lisan al Gaib 💀
10:13 Team Black 🖤🖤. Daemon is in his villain era now. Rhaenyra was powerful this episode. We're back!
Blood & Cheese's Segment from "Fire and Blood" -
The Tower of the Hand was less secure. The two men crept up through the walls, bypassing the spearmen posted at the tower doors. Ser Otto’s rooms were of no interest to them. Instead they slipped into his daughter’s chambers, one floor below. Queen Alicent had taken up residence there after the death of King Viserys, when her son Aegon moved into Maegor’s Holdfast with his own queen. Once inside, Cheese bound and gagged the Dowager Queen whilst Blood strangled her bedmaid. Then they settled down to wait, for they knew it was the custom of Queen Helaena to bring her children to see their grandmother every evening before bed.
Blind to her danger, the queen appeared as dusk was settling over the castle, accompanied by her three children. Jaehaerys and Jaehaera were six, Maelor two. As they entered the apartments, Helaena was holding his little hand and calling out her mother’s name. Blood barred the door and slew the queen’s guardsman, whilst Cheese appeared to snatch up Maelor. “Scream and you all die,” Blood told Her Grace. Queen Helaena kept her calm, it is said. “Who are you?” she demanded of the two. “Debt collectors,” said Cheese. “An eye for an eye, a son for a son. We only want the one, t’ square things. Won’t hurt the rest o’ you fine folks, not one lil’ hair. Which one you want t’ lose, Your Grace?”
Once she realized what he meant, Queen Helaena pleaded with the men to kill her instead. “A wife’s not a son,” said Blood. “It has to be a boy.” Cheese warned the queen to make a choice soon, before Blood grew bored and raped her little girl. “Pick,” he said, “or we kill them all.” On her knees, weeping, Helaena named her youngest, Maelor. Perhaps she thought the boy was too young to understand, or perhaps it was because the older boy, Jaehaerys, was King Aegon’s firstborn son and heir, next in line to the Iron Throne. “You hear that, little boy?” Cheese whispered to Maelor. “Your momma wants you dead.” Then he gave Blood a grin, and the hulking swordsman slew Prince Jaehaerys, striking off the boy’s head with a single blow. The queen began to scream.
You guys still got the most LIT intro on UA-cam. 🔥🔥🔥
The laughing track 😂😭
Helaena is one of the most sincere and purest characters in this whole story. She did what she thought was right and I stand by her.
That girl is just incapable of lying. Nothing really deeper.
I love how the one on the left had some weird need to explain the motivations of the queen in being honest with the people who just made it clear that the alternative was both her children die.
Raven-“ bahh-kahhh, training is complete 😂😂😂😂😂”
Finallllly!!! I’ve been checking my notifications since the episode drop. Y’all really are my favorite reactors to this show❤
Halaena is one of the Targaryens who can see the future. She also foresaw the Rhaenys escaping with Meleys from under the sept.
We never saw the full end of the convo with Daemon with Blood and Cheese, Aemond was the primary target, we never saw who was the secondary.
16:49 is literally me when y'all make jokes in any video 😂
The rat catcher asked " What if we can't find him" after Daemon gave Aemond's description. Their plan already wasn't going well, with cheese pretty much thinking they were going to die at that point, even before finding their target. And lets remember, Aemond is skilled with a sword so he can protect himself so they would have to fight him.
Also I believe Helena choose her son straight away because what else could she do ? They would check the body if that was the right one ( at least Blood would) and if she gave the daughter, they would kill both of her children. She couldn't even scream bc she was alone and there were NO GUARDS. They could've chased her and grab her
