    Drunk Viserys actually has balls and gives off some kingly vibes. Daemon hit the nail on the head when he told Viserys that he was weak and he allows those around him to manipulate him. Especially Otto and it seems like Viserys is finally starting to see it.

    • @Heavenlyevl1
      @Heavenlyevl1 2 роки тому

      Despite Viserys seeming like a 'nice' person, the name Viserys seems like a curse or a 'red letter' branding them (those given the name) weak, selfish and/or cowardly. After all, he had the wife he said he loved slashed open for the chance at a baby with a penis pretty quickly knowing it was straight butchery and jumped at the chance to procure a replacement baby maker with what seemed like no grief or guilt at his decision making.

  • @Marukisu15
    @Marukisu15 2 роки тому +67

    I think Viserys didn’t want to kill the Stag. He’s been questioning his decision making the entire episode. Even choosing Rhaenyra as his heir. There was a sense of relief when he saw the brown Hart because it meant that Aegon wouldn’t be King. He didn’t want to find the white Hart because it would contradict his belief in choosing Rhaenyra.

    • @BazookaIke
      @BazookaIke 2 роки тому +2

      Maybe.
      My thoughts on his reluctance to kill the stag was due to him being unsure of whether he would embarrass himself. Viserys is breathing heavily in this entire episode. He could barely muster the strength to kill it with a spear, and it took 2 thrusts to get the job done. I'm leaning toward this being an example of Viserys' failing health, rather than it being some sort of symbolic meaning.

      @@BazookaIke Not really. You have a point with his failing health however, pay attention is his facial mannerisms this entire episode. He’s uncomfortable, he’s also in pain. Not to mention, he’s been overindulging in wine. When they told him they found the Hart, his face didn’t show much enthusiasm, despite him stating he wants to forget politics and just enjoy a hunt for a few days. He thought he could use this hunt as escapism but he’s already reminded of his responsibility and the decisions he’s made.

      @Marukisu15 2 роки тому

      @@BazookaIke I acknowledge that you are right about his failing health. That does play a role into the totality of what’s going on but it’s more of a mental game than a physical game. It’s more than one angle to look at here. The fact you can’t see that’s he’s torn between his new family and Rhaenyra is interesting to say the least. He will obviously succumb to his poor health later in the series. I would even argue that Viserys cares more about his relationship with Rhaenyra and her happiness, than Aegon’s second name day and hunting a Hart. The fact that we are having this debate shows how good this show is. Subjective point of views. Can’t wait for more!

    I liked the symbolism of Viserys' hand losing fingers as a parallel to him losing members of his council. Also the number of betrayals we've seen Otto Hightower levy against him. First with manipulating the King to marry his daughter, next with seeking to supplant the throne with his grandson. The imagery and foreshadowing in this series has always been so good.

      @@pseudonymousbeing987 The relationship Viserys had with Corlys is strained because he refused to marry Laena. I don't think there's much significance to the finger, but if I had to assign any it would go like this:
      Corlys was the pinky, overlooked but pivotal in helping the hand (of the body) function properly and to the best of its ability.
      Otto, the fourth finger commonly referred to as the ring finger. Slightly disempowered by his daughter's ascension to Queen (she convinced Viserys to aid Daemon which Otto strongly suggested against) and Rhaenyra who is not susceptible to his manipulation (re his attempt to influence her choice of Kingsguard appointee)
      Alternatively, Daemon could be the pinky, little finger for a little brother. And Corlys the ring finger, spurned by marriage refusal.

    i love that the story Rhaenyra asks to hear is about Nymeria. it seems like just a random thing, wanting to distract herself, and a fun easter egg for fans (and its that in a part), but the story is picked with purpose. The Triarchy are using similar methods as Nymeria *right now* to best the dragons. The previous Targs couldn't figure it out, but maybe she's trying to. To find a hidden clue in the story that could help. There is war and understanding the enemy is always good. She's not involved right now but its still good to stay on top of things just in case. Which shows she is a good queen already

    GOT introduced the White Hart mythos with Robert's doomed hunt in the first season and I LOVE how they have reintroduced it here. GRRM took it from Celtic mythos and traditionally the Hart is seen as a messenger from another world, it's like a 'quest giver' that only approaches very specific people. In GOT context it's seen as a 'portant' that confirms the legitimacy of a ruling or potential King/Queen. Robert (and Viserys here) do not understand it, they think it's just another animal to be tracked and killed to fulfil the portant. Look what happened to Robert and it does NOT bode well for Viserys. It's the fact that the Hart appeared to Rhaenyra and I love how they showed Rhaenyra suddenly understand that this animal is MUCH more than a hunting trophy. That was so beautifully filmed and overall this is SUCH a good show, it's much better than I thought it would be.

    The crab feeder... His grey scale reminded me of Ser Jorah. Like its been peeled and heeled. Which makes sense. He is in salt water all the time and the skin probably reacted differently because of all the salt water and humidity. JFunny, cuz Jorah said "maybe the CLIMATE healed me." to the maester,
    The water in Valeria was stagnant, contaminated.... thats my theory. So I dont think he was still contagious when Daemon cut him in half.

    I really think there was a missed opportunity. When Rhaenyra comes back with the boar, she should have said "I brought us a pig for the feast, father". There was definitely that type of self satisfied (rightfully so) energy about her already, but a quick line would have made that even better.

If she brought the white heart back I think she would've been in a lot of danger, I think Otto would try to get her killed.

    One of the things that people seem to be missing about the whole "let's betroth Aegon to Rhaenyra" thing is that it is is a very blatant attempt to bar her children from the throne. She's born in 97AC, and Aegon is born in 106 AC...there's 9 years between them in the books, and significantly more than that in the show. By the time Aegon is 15 or so, she's going to be well into her 20s. Her mother has a history of difficult childbirths, and in fact dies during one. It's not a hard guess to say that, having a first child at an older age (and I know, that's not that old in modern terms to be having kids, but in a medieval setting, being well into your 20s for your first kid for a noblewoman is unusually old) poses significant risk to her health. If we're assuming any sort of maester hijinks, a woman dying in such a circumstance wouldn't be considered unusual.

    And yes I really liked that Caraxes felt Daemons pain. Just in general they are doing so much more with with the Dragon Bonds and overal the magic been more in line to the books is wanderful to me.
    Seasmoke and Laenor where an apsolute delight and I cant wait to see more of em.

    You are simply brilliant. I've never EVER listened to someone who knows this story inside and out, " Upside down you're turning me" (Thank you Miss Ross). The details you spoke of about Greyscale and how Dragon Riders may be immune to if. And if THAT wasn't enough, you went forward in time and quoted Dany and literally used her words to explain things. I must add something. This new "fad" of the over use of the word "Literally " has me FUMING! 🔥 People are using that word every other sentence! I mean I'm NOT exaggerating in the least. It's taken over "At the end of the day" and "Absolutely" by MILES! ... there. They was all. Thank you for helping me (and only me, 😂it's always about just me😊) to understand things so much better.

    But Holy Dragon Fire Batman was the last few minutes of this episode EPIC !
    I mean let’s all please give
    Matt Smith his award right now..
    Not a single word of dialogue just pure raw acting and Bad Ass-ness!
    I was tingling all over with so many Jon snow vibes from the BOB episode,slashing through those guys , running dodging arrows, emerging the victor covered in blood!
    I too loved that grin and flip of the sword .. It was time to die crabby boy !
    And Raenarya ( Milly Alcott She is killing it ).
    walking into that camp like she owned that 💩 and the look on the Lannister face lol priceless.lol
    I’m more curious does Daemon end up backing Rhaenera ? Or does he want to take it for his self ? I feel like he would eventually back her because he is fiercely protective of his own blood and we know he has a special love for her anyways . I guess I will see . Also do you Think Dark Sister becomes Long Claw ? Is that possible?
