- Ryan Condal, Miguel Sapochnik, Matt Smith (Daemon Targaryen), and more speak to the timejump in the third episode, Viserys and Rhaenyra's mental states during the hunt, and Daemon's fight at the Stepstones.
The way they made Viserys a more nuanced character in comparison to the books is just masterful.
In the books he's chubby and beyond pathetic.
He had conflicts in himself and every judgement. That made him more real as a person. As in the first episode, he loved his wife but he need his son enough to do that. I still think he was too weak for being king, he had got the throne because there was only one woman to candidate with, and that’s why the story begin. It was ironic that he finally had a son he always want but still remained his dauther as an heir because of feeling guilty about her mother.
I hate him though. He is so ineffective. Everyone can see he is brewing a disaster
@@testxxxx123 Yup..... and Paddy Considine has been so great in conveying that. He easily has been the best actor so far.
I love his character in the show, I know he's not popular because he's making mistakes after another, but this is why I love him, he's so human and complex as a character.
We meet our first lannister and I'm already like
"fuckin lannisters" 😂
My reaction exactly 🤣🤣🤣
flaunting your wealth is the quickest way into a girl's heart, as a lannister used to say
As King Viserys said "His pride has pride." 😆
🤣🤣👍
Omg yes😂😂😂😂😂
My favorite part was when it was Rhaenyra who encountered the white hart; amazing symbolism I wish her father could’ve seen it; she truly was meant to be queen
Laura Isaza. Ur words are so soothing.
Yeah I noticed that also. How he killed the brown one. And the white one shows up for her after she just killed the bore. I think it is a symbol for things to come for Rhaenyra
@@pokedizzle Oh my sweet summer child. To quote Luke Skywalker, "This is not going to go the way you think".
@@rockytribiani81 I'd like to think the White Hart appearing to Rhaenyra as a foreshadowing that her line is the one who's going to sit on the Iron Throne.
@@mellasius6240 true it's like the boar attacking her are the symbolism of the people who doesn't like her on the throne and then after all that bloodshed her line will sit on it.
Can we all appreciate how awesome is Paddy’s (Viserys) acting. He keeps getting better from episode to episode. Flawless acting.
He's made Viserys such a great character.
This was by far his best episode. 👌 Top class. Thanks to rewatching game of thrones iv a good idea what will happen to people in this. And with all the idiots on UA-cam spoiling alot. I still want to be a bit surprised to how and why things happened. Paddy is a top actor 👏
His 1 and 2 episode is so bad, but this time hes doing great
@@okisantana4916 he was not bad in Any episode at all
Absolutely. Viserys is played with huge sympathy. Well done, Paddy.
Rhaenyra returning after killing the boar, epic
SO epic. Covered in blood, walking in camp like a bad b!tch.
If only it was the same for Robert Baratheon 🪦
@@toh786 💀💀
@@toh786 😮 oof
Just hope tht guy doesn't let them know it's blood from a freaking boar lol
Daemon’s charisma is just beyond! perfectly portrayed by Matt Smith. Meanwhile, Laenor Velaryon riding Seasmoke was spectacular.
It was laughable at best, he is chanting "whooo" he does not suit it whatsoever
@@TacitusKillgore1 I thought it was kinda cool. You know, he's this guy who's riding a dragon to battle for the first time, he's young, it was kind of a carefree moment too.
@@LucarinaD20 That's what i thought. It was a carefree moment for him. His first time riding his dragon to war.
@@TacitusKillgore1 unfortunate you didn’t enjoy such a good moment
Laenor is just a big yawn
Excellent episode, i felt for Viserys, the man is broken... Rhaenyra is conflicted... And the Stepstones! Chef's kiss
rhaenyra is not conflicted. she's the rightful ruler right now and should be crowned right now instead of a 2 year old, instead all these bs drama because grrm who is male and a very very too old male at that, still hasn't delivered a canon end to that other canon series decided to write a shitty drama for drama sake backstory. don't matter if he's a huge history buff when this is fantasy instead of future fi and therefore not very introspective nor prophetic
The Stepstone scene was truly garbage and you're the perfect representation of a blind fan. That scene made no sense at all. The plot armour was ridiculous. The dragons could have been used to flush out that position years ago.
Weak battle.
Lord Lyonnel Strong is giving him always great advice ... maybe Viserys should listen to him more
Daemon didn't say a thing and also single-carried the entire episode. Matt Smith is amazing
dude the opening scene where he is yelling for the crab feeder and then all the flaming arrows went flying my mouth had to be scooped up from the floor. he is only in the beginning and end of this episode but goddam every second hes on screen its just heart pumping badassery
Come out drahar……..
He said a thing in the firsr
Daemon is about that life!
He went in ready to go to eternity!
The 🐉🐲 Dragons were Spitting that 🔥 Fire!

Daemon straight savage dragging half the Crabfeeders body out of the cave, this season is fantastic love everything about it!!
It would be fantastic, except that they gave Craghas a fairly advanced case of Greyscale and had Daemon drag him while touching his bare skin. The disease is so contagious that Daemon will need to have that hand amputated or risk becoming a stoneman himself.
@@magister343 I was thinking the same, like why was him holding his bare hand? 🤯
@@magister343 It is known that Targaryens are not afflicted by diseases like most other men. They just don't get sick. In Dance with Dragons, Dany walks among people dying from the flux outside Mereen and does not catch it. Even though there was an outbreak and it was contagious. Not sure if the same applies to greyscale or not. We shall see I suppose
@@honeybee4016 Well, Viserys got infected wounds from the iron throne. Maybe some Targaryens are more resistant to diseases than others. But the fact that the crab feeder has this disease - this is not something a writer creates for a random fact. He has this disease for a reason and well... Deamon touched him. I guess this is the reason the crab feeder has it.
@@LevelFear daemon doesn't contract it and getting cuts from the throne is not a diseases. The Targaryens are immune to greyscale also known as the curse of valyria
Hearing Laenor say dracarys really warm up my heart. He was just so excited !!!!
Yes♥️♥️
Laenor Velaryon 🔥🔥🔥
He was not as confident in saying it though so this might have been the first time he actually rode sea smoke into battle, if not one of the first times ever.
Hes a kid. Hes super excited.😁
@@Orcaluv26 It was.Hence the “whooo”
I'm not sure how many people have caught it, but by episode 3 the last two digits on the king's left hand had rotted off. The attention to detail on this show is incredible.
I caught it very good attention to detail
I was looking for that detail!
@@THEELikeAPheonix me too
Did you notice that Viserys’s hairline has receded a little as well as Lionel Strong. Very subtle attention to detail.
@@logicsfinest3471 he got fat aswell
best episode yet! Paddy is playing such a relatable yet troubled Viserys, greatly improved from his book character. Matt Smith gives a truly epic Daemon performance without a single word.
He spoke in the beginning of the episode
He's getting that Jon Snow plot armour.
@@joshua6207 It’s not plot armor.That was most likely part of Daemon’s plan.To use himself as bait to draw out the crab feeder.
@@rouskeycarpel1436 That's stupid. How can you plan for that? It definitely is plot armour. He gets hit twice out of hundreds of arrows, luckily none of the hits are fatal. He somehow 1v1s his way through every single soldier that attacks him, and then when he's surrounded, somehow his army arrives and a dragon save him at the last second, when no plan was discussed (that we know of, we just say him sail way angrily). It was all deus ex machina and lazy writing. All style and very little substance.
@@Al-ji4gd Yeah that part was a bit dumb
George RR Martin meant it when he said Viserys has more depth in the show. I see that now. Paddy is killing it 💯👏👏👏
Jason Lannister basically reminded me of what would happen if Tywin had the mannerisms and behavior of Tyrion. Also, it is interesting to see how Rhaenyra isn’t so fond of her father anymore, constantly quarreling, while acting bitter and hostile towards Alicent, her former best friend now stepmother
Alicent lost Rhaenyra trust foerever, I thought.
So jason Lanninster is just like kevan?
Well both her father and best friend Went behind her back and manipulated her a bit (Not counting the tension of a different type with Alicent) and then had a male child together in a world where Male Heirs are far more Valued, with what her nearest female family member (who was passed over herself) Said, ringing in her ear.... I can see why she may be feeling a little Miffed and out of sorts lol 😀
I think Rhaenyra still loves Viserys, she just is very upset with him and his later decisions.
@@haloman117fanatic I don’t think it’s alicent fault she remained good to rhaenyra still
I love how the showrunners added so much layers, details and personalities to characters that were just "there" in the book. This show is shaping up to be amazing, looking forward to more!
The show has more room to add things since Fire and Blood was more of a history book written by Archmaester Gylday than a traditional novel.
I feel Rhnaerya's frustration. After naming her heir, Daddy has effectively pushed her aside rather than supporting her in council meetings. He dismissed her and now wonders why she's hostile? If Alicente had told her privately of Otto'a machinations I think the friendship between the girls would have survived the King's marriage.. Pity Alicente didn't have more of a backbone. Trying 2-3 years after the wedding is kinda late.
either way, marrying your best friend's dad is not really the coolest thing to do to your best friend. it doesn't matter if she kept it secret or not.
@@maggyfrog I mean women I’d that time didn’t have much of a choice. She can’t deny the kings proposal.
@@rozz1864
rhaenyra can tell that alicent liked it enough. that's the problem.
@@rozz1864 these days a woman at her position would make the same choice and even trap her friend into a false claim to jail her. Options don't imply better.
Alicent is a girl who plays by the rules and it payed off for her.
Both Alicent and Rhaynyra are great well written strong female caracters. Unlike the cringy femenist mcu or disney caracters.
@@rozz1864 True, women at that time had not much choice, but Alicent chose to not tell Rhaenyra what was going on that she was slowly working her way into the King's heart the last 6 months after Rhaenyra's mother passing. From the first episode, Alicent was showed to be attuned with the working of the court and cares about positions. She chided Rhaenyra (who pretended) when Rhaenyra acted as if it didn't bother her. Alicent was also aware the implication when her father insisted that she made her self look more mature (she was 14, after all LOL) by wearing her mother's dress while comforting the King. She knows where the whole persuasion can go if she succeeds in working Viserys, it'll be against Rhaenyra. This is why Rhaenyra felt very bertrayed by Alicent...Alicent was the person she thought was fully on her corner (her supporter), but it turned out she was politicking alongside her family all along... Not saying that Alicent was not conflicted about doing that to her friend but we all know she chose to do it to elevate her standing and her family's standing.
Matt and Paddy’s acting really sell their characters for me, and when they’re both on screen interacting I’m glued. Can’t wait to see the confrontation next episode !
Totally captivating show. The power structure circumstance ruthless and exciting. Matt Smith is magic.
and wtf does it mean that he has to doubt naming her heir? why is that wrong? the wrong thing is not rescinding right fucking now instead of waiting to die and leave a clusterfuck behind
I wish they talked more about the stark difference between rhaenyra and Viserys during the hunt. The king goes off and struggles to kill a captured stag, and then you have rhaenyra walk in after leaving in anger, covered in blood with a dead boar in tow. That difference in presence is a representation of the varying strengths of the Targaryen house. It’s a shame they didn’t bring it up
yep, such a missed opportunity in the writing and even editing to show the contrast and the reactions of those around it to each. the two ppl who react to her walking into camp are not very clear what their reaction even is.
to be fair; viserys was WASTED. But yea i get your point. Im also not sure if I was just imagining things but did viserys put on weight? he seems puffier and softer
This episode was awesome. I love seeing the vultures circle Viserys. They know/think he's so weak and easily manipulated. I loved seeing him stand up to some of them yet dealing with his own internal struggle. If only he gave Rhaeneyra the passionate speech about her being the heir.
He's named her Heir to the throne and has given her talks in the first 2 episodes. He even tells her she wont be replaced. Also he let's her pick her own husband... Viserys has kinda spoiled her if you ask me.
Great episode, with phenomenal opening and ending scenes. I feel empathy for Rynaera and Vaserys. Thanks for the summation
It’s … Rhaenyra, Viserys
@@SeeFair23 why do people always have to become grammar police you knew what he meant.
I wasn't sure about Paddy at the beginning but each time his acting and character get more and more amazing
What I loved the most about the episode was seeing Daemon ride Caraxes, and seeing him fight as a warlock in the battle of the stone steps, in fact, it reminded me of Geralt of Rivia.
The cinematography of the Dragon flame coming out of the darkness was amazing on my QLED
Yeah the cinematography was amazing in this episode on my 83inch OLED! I can’t wait for the 4k blu ray of house of the dragon with Dolby Atmos.

I love this cast, everyone is amazing.
Such an amazing episode man. Seeing him walk out of the cave with half of crabfeeder 🦀 was badarse. Can't wait to see what the rest of the season has is store for Daemon.
That was so badass🤧
too bad he touched grayscale with his bear hands
@@matematicarka No? He was dragging the clothes.
This episode was as great as expected . The show just keeps getting better ALSO I CAN'T WAIT A WHOLE WEEK FOR ANOTHER EPISODE !!!
Ikr 😬
Get a life
Sea Smoke looked awesome. Loved to watch someone other than a Targaryen riding a Dragon.
I know he has Targaryen blood, I meant the surname.
He is Targaryen, son of the queen that never was, boludo
@@kennethgiorgi7178 Targaryen blood, yes. But He's Velaryon.
Ok so that was the Queen who never was’s son and his dragon? Who’s name is sea smoke? Awesome looking dragon, same breed as Drogon from what it appeared
@@domcagney2352 Yeah exactly. That was Rhaenys and Corlys' son Laenor and his dragon Seasmoke. He is truly such a good looking dragon.
@@kennethgiorgi7178 We all know that. But I meant he doesn't have the Targaryen name. Which is something new.
Dany, Rhaenyra, Daemon, Jon(Aegon) all riders we have seen so far has a Targaryen name.
The amount of Dracarys mentioned in this episode is a gift from the Seven! Chefs kiss!
truee
Rhaenyra dragging the dead boar and Daemon dragging the dead body of the crab feeder; a parallelism that astonished me
I absolutely love this show so far! That excites me!
I'm just in awe of this episode. It was so good. This is imo is one of the best Game of Thrones episodes every and it's only episode 3.
4:27 Daemon's dragon looking absolutely smashing
Caraxes
I love the show-don’t-tell style that the show is going for like with Viserys’ missing fingers in this episode due to the rot mentioned in previous episodes. A good metaphor for slowly breaking down due to the stress of the crown and matter of succession
Otto is a fusion of Tywin and Littlefinger
What would You disapprove in his decisions? I really like the character so far considering the reality He is in.
@@thiagobarbosa7905 the reality he is in is the growth of house hightower , selfish causes alicent doesn't wanna replace Rhaenyra bt he will make her do it and therefore condemn her and her sons to a terrible fate
He is my favorite.
We finally got introduced to a Lannister
2 Lannisters lol. Twins
@@Irishrover101 reminds us with Jamie and Cercei
@@Irishrover101 hope they don't have any intimate relationships lol
@@andrewgarfield346 Thank the gods they weren't intimate lol
"Surrounded by Lannisters. Every time I close my eyes, I see their blond hair and their smug, satisfied faces."
I really like that with everything else going on (dragons, royal dramas, war) at the heart of this episode is a single dad having trouble connecting with his teenage daughter. I also like that Viserys really loves his daughter and wants her to be happy, but he knows royal traditions wont allow it.
The Targaryens are eating away at one another more and more with every timeskip and it's handled so well!
It'll only get more stressful as more time passes, I'm scared but excited for their story at the same time
you've read the books, havent you?
from my perspective, Viserys and Raenhyra have unite and armonize. i still dont see them eating away at one another
I haven't read the books so you may be right idk
Yeah you can really feel the tension rise in this episode. It'll get pretty dark.
@@axOnith the shit goes down when he dies
@@thesorrow312 well that's kinda predictable, knowing George
By far the best episode. After watching Game of thrones today and Geoffry telling me what happened to Rheanyra in the end I was pissed. But still I want to see why and how it happened. This was the best episode of the 3 so far
you mean her getting killed by being fed to a dragon
I hate that too, i felt sorry for her very much in this episode. Especially the beginning, be lonely, no one to trust or value her.
Theres also literally a whole animated story on youtube on fire and blood narrated by Joeffrey, Robert Baratheon and Viserys. The videos are like 5 years old so most of people have the spoilers from there since nobody knew they were gonna make this show back then
Yeah it's sorta funny, even the book this show is based on is just history and lore so there's a lot about what's gonna happen that wasn't considered spoilers at all. It's really exciting though being familiar with the source material to see what they do with it. Very unique sort of adaptation and they've surpassed my expectations so far by quite a bit
OMG, I'm currently re-watching GoT and watched that episode with Joffrey and Margeary yesterday. Was so upset I spoiled myself about rhaenyra!! 😩 I had never registered that part when I fist saw GoT. I'm so mad lol
Favorite part is Allicent posing a simple yet consequential question to King Viserys.
Daemon might be a complicated character but we've seen him more as a charismatic bad*ss in this show. I think this series is showing more about how complex Viserys, Rhaenyra, and Alicent really are.
I really enjoyed that scene between Alicent and her father. We finally got to hear what's really her inner thoughts and feelings. I believe Alicent will be just as complex as Rhaenyra as the series progresses. Because I actually think she has a good heart. She's practically a Targaryen since she grew up next to them.
I believe Alicent really does love Viserys and still deeply cares about Rhaenyra. But then she wants to also please her father. It's a tough balancing act for her while still being a mother while loving and supporting her children. By making Alicent more likeable, it can make us torn when she and Rhaenyra become bitter rivals.
It's really a terrific show so far. I thought maybe the battle scene at the end would piss off book fans who preferred earlier seasons of GOT that was slow-burning and thought it got too Hollywood blockbuster by S4. But I guess not because they seem to love it. Didn't bother them.
One of the greatest shows I have ever seen with great character development is still Mad Men. I think HOT D is reaching their level. For me, the dragon scenes are cool but I'd rather have great character development and this series has at least 4 characters with so many layers.
I don't mind the quieter scenes like Rhaenyra talking to her father or Criston or Alicent talking to Viserys or her father. Those are the scenes that makes GOT/HOT D great. The dragons and battle scenes are the superficial stuff.
I agree Alicent is as complex as Rhaenyra although she is her opposite in manner and personality. While I think that Alicent does care about Viserys and Rhaenyra but to what extent, I'm still conflicted on that. What the episode shows me is a young woman so attuned with the court, who's so good at politicking. She gently moved Viserys to do things for her, without pushing him to do so. The 'assist' she suggested for the Step Stones, worked as a slight toward Daemon and worked to elevate her reputation of kindness in front of her husband. ::Chef's kiss:: She knew also when to gently wield her position against Rhaenyra (in private), reminding her that she is indeed queen, since Rhaenyra has been acting very rebellious/abrasive. But in public, Alicent shows unity and generosity when she defends Rhaenyra amongst the court ladies. I was so just impressed by her. I was half-expecting, Cersei 2.0, a subtle as a dump truck LOL, honestly after reading the novel, but the show made her more complex than that. She moves the pieces gently and subtly. She proves to be a very effective game player indeed at a very young age.
Daemon makes this series. He’s a mix of Ramsey’s ruthlessness, Jaime & Jon’s fighting styles and Jaime’s swag. Can’t wait for the episodes to come!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Orrrr (maybe) since he was born first …all those you named are a mixture of him 😁 they are all phenomenal though
The acting my god is phenomenal! I was blown away by Matt smiths sheers presence and power without uttering a single word!
Daemon is my favorite character!
Laenor Velaryon riding his dragon seasmoke was epic...🐲🐲🐲
All the actors in this show are doing such an amazing job. This show just keeps gaining steam and it's set to be epic.
Favorite episode so far!! Loved every second of it!
I loved that battle. With Rick and Morty's help, Gendry was able to warn Corlys in time to save Daemon.
😂 poor Ghendry
it was vaemond's plan to use a bait to lure out the crabfeeder.
@@maggyfrog That´s right...but i feel some kind of DejaVu with the "Beyond the wall" episode.
@@PiedrasdeSopa76
it's literally said by that character himself that it's how they're gonna defeat the crabfeeder. how is that a plot hole?
@@PiedrasdeSopa76 That was the plan though for Daemon to go in and draw them out while the rest wait in ambush.
I want the Score when Rhaenyra went back to the Camp after killing the boar in full length!
Absolutely loving the quality of the dialogue in this series.
Was invested ipsince the first episode but this 3rd episode has me hooked for the long run. Incredible ep
This whole episode blew me away and was right up there with the best of the first series.
Once again, HBO has proven how unbelievably good they are with the casting. Starting from the costimography (have to point out Steve Toussaint as Corlys Valeryon) to the portrayal itself, every character is dripping with personality. While I was quite worried of having a well-known actor, like Matt Smith, taking me out of the show, his portrayal of Daemon has done quite the opposite and immersed me in the show just that bit more. As much praise this is for the actors, it's even more so for the casting crew who felt that connection.
Laenor coming in on Seasmoke ….perfection.
I loved Alicent in this episode! You could see her trying to reapproach Rhaenyra many times. Alicent is clearly in a difficult position - a place her father led her to - and felt deeply the loss of her friend. Of course, I don't blame Rhaenyra for acting and feeling the way she is 🤷♀️
It would be perfect if Rhaenyra and Alicent could be a couple and live happily ever after 😭
Shutupppppp!
For me she was the least likable character. She may had sympathy but still did what is good for her family only. This type of people can kill you and then say they are sorry, may be have a little cry for you.
They where not just friends. The actresses confirmed
@@fireykitten9217 we can start taking their word for it once GRRM says it is so
@@thoroughlyrustled6186 nope
I will miss young Rhaenyra
In the books, Daemon beat the messenger that brought him the news of Viserys' marriage almost to death. Here, they changed it and put the scene in the Stepstones to show his frustration with his brother.
Why frustration though? He was finally sending aid and expressing his love and support.
@@PozoBlue Because Daemons men had already suffered so many losses, and it had been a couple of years. So for the king to only now send a measly number of ships to the cause was kind of pointless. Note how when Daemon walks along the bay after this scene, he makes sure to look down at all the lost men? That's basically telling us that if Viserys had sent troops earlier, all of this death probably wouldn't have happened, or certainly wouldn't have been as bad as it is.
Rhaenyra says in the wagon on the way to the hunt that she hates the sound the boars make when they're stuck, then she knifes one to death herself. That's an important character moment because she's learning about herself and that she'll do what she finds distasteful if provoked.
Damn. I can't believe I missed that connection. Thanks for pointing that out.
All hail Dameon Targaryen King of the Stepstones and Narrow Sea🔥🩸🐉
Yesss🤧
I like the new soundtrack. They did a great job with this show.
This show is awesome so far! Can‘t wait for Episode 4!
HOTD Episode 3 was 🔥
That last fight though... "uuuuuh we will put him in an impossible situation on purpose to really show how little we care about realism, so that war scenes will be easier to write"
Viserys says in private to Rhaenyra she won't be replaced as heir, but that's not enough. He needs to say it publicly, so the lords can swear fealty again to set aside any doubt of succession.
Amazing episode, thank you and looking forward to the rest of the season.
Awesome episode. However, I wish we actually got to see Daemon fight that one character at the end
i think it's implied that at this point, crabfeeder was physically no match against daemon. he could hardly turn his head just to give commands.
You will get more exciting fights with Daemon in the future
@@maggyfrog what was wrong with him? Dragon burns?
@@markycypress8484
in the show it seems he had greyscale. it looks like the redness is where patches of greyscale was removed. none of his men seem infected so it could be similar to shireen baratheon whose greyscale stopped being infectious but the crabfeeder's case seems way more advanced that he moved with difficulty.
It looked nothing like greyscale in GoT
My Fav. Episode so far. Great Visuals and Character building.
Viserys perplexed laugh after "the boy just turned 2 Otto" 😀
Every time one of the Dragons swoop in and breathes fire and brimstone onto the hapless enemy I get chills.
I also think it’s so poetic that it’s a stag that they’re hunting. And it’s House Baratheon that ends up overthrowing them. Whose house sigil is a stag
One word: Fantastic!
GRRM about Roberts's hunting scene in GoT: "When the king goes hunting it's not like you walk through the woods with a spear.
HoTD: Challenge accepted.
I Love Prince Daemons he is the Best of both equally with Good an Evil and has the ability to control both. He just Dangerous in a Lovely kinda way. 🤩
Rhaenyra is my fav she’s a badass
Music for this episode, 👌🏻
The king is a believer in myths and lore's; if Viserys saw Rhaenyra somehow managed to ride the white hart back to camp, he would c naming her was indeed the right choice.
My new favorite word: "Daemonesque"
In truth Aegon was adamant that the throne rightfully belonged to Rhaenyra and she was the true heir .. He never wanted to rule until mislead that Rhaenyra will kill them all, while Rhaenyra actually wanted her brothers to be a parr of her small council
Damn hightowers
The viserys smile 0:13 is so wholesome
Great episode but they even said it "Daemon should have died" especially those arrow barrages, really reminiscent of Jon in the Battle of the Bastards. If they want us to have the feeling characters could die, they shouldn't put them in such impossible scenarios. If they just didn't have the archers It could have been perfect.
He’s not rickon stark, he knows how to zigzag and find cover xD
@MILO FROM MORBIUS don’t get me wrong I’m still loving it so far but that scene was just kinda like “ooo we’re doing this again”
@MILO FROM MORBIUS unlike John. He does get shot . Plus the dude is a warrior . Dont they learn how to dodge arrows ?
@MILO FROM MORBIUS the dude is not rickon . I believe warriors do train on how to deal with arrows .plus they had thier men on the battlefield
I liked the episode overall, but felt a tad bit disappointed that we didn't get much of anything regarding the Crab Feeder. Also, the plot armor was strong on Daemon during his suicide run, which I hope doesn't become the norm during fight scenes
Yeah him dodging all those arrows was ridiculous.
I am surprised nobody else really mentioned the plot armour. I have seen other videos on the episode and no one talks about it. Ironic considering all the book fanboys were all over the battle of the bastards and Jon snow's plot armour, when this is way worse.
I'd a feeling crab 🦀 😋 guy would not be around long after watching the first two episodes. I just think he is a guy to show how tough Deamon is also a bit crazy 🤪. I was thinking how hasn't he caught grey scale from touching him after killing him. 🤔
Yeah me too. I think it's because he looked so unique and badass, and they built him up in the last episode. I just wish he did a bit more and we saw more of him. Seems like he was more of a plot device for Daemon than anything.
@@Bijay007 jon snows plot armour was far worse, he walked straight into 4 full volleys, was in the middle of a cavalry clash and then the Vale showed up despite it being impossible
HOLY shit the battle was amazing. Daemon is my new favorite character lol❤
love rhaenyra's theme song
Though I would've loved more scenes of the war and less whining from the King, the episode is still badass and Daemon has quickly become my favorite character in the series!!!🔥🔥🔥
It wasn't just whining. He was having a full-on midlife crisis. Beautiful acting from Paddy.
@@FURYCHAOS184 Totally agree!!!!
I was humming that call to action theme from Smith's Doctor Who as I watched Daemon take on the crabfeeder's army
I know everyone is talking about "Matt Daemon" and how he rocks the show. Which is true, he's awesome!
But I have to say that Paddy Considine's portrayal of Viserys is damn near perfect! I really enjoy the show so far, dragon scenes were badass, the fighting sequence in the end amazing and its just exciting and fun to watch!
Kingsguards armor looks perfect btw...
Бро, ты бот или как?
Paddy Considine is the MVP actor in this season; he's been the anchor, in actions and feelings and all the consequences his choices have caused. It was a fairly thankless role that he imbued with humanity and credibility. He deserves an Emmy in my opinion.
apart from everything else can we appreciate also how good is new music as well!
Daemon was so cool in this episode 🔥 I love his character so much
Rhaenyra snaps and kills something it's called built up anger, when Danny does it she went "mad"
the Irony!
Daenarys burned a city and killed thousands of innocent people dawg
@@Jj-iq2cb yeah? And? Like anyone else in the show didn’t do the same.
@@petrinajc I mean I dont remember catelyn stark getting on her dragon and murdering thousands of innocent people but i could be wrong idk
@@Jj-iq2cb Catelyn? really? that is the character you could only think of? lol
@@petrinajc Im not saying everybody else on the show was a saint dude, god knows they werent. But what Daenarys did was not supposed to be a powerful thing, she literally went insane. And i get it she watched almost all of her friends die, but they had already won the battle for the red keep, she didnt need to burn the city down
loved the green fingers.
Do we have an official OST release? The piece with the chorus from around the 1:55 mark is superb.
I'm also looking for that, but Ramin will torture us throughout the season, probably
It was so damn good
The official one is not out but I listen to the "rhaenyra theme" that a youtuber recreated with that melody.
I gotta say the Crab Feeder was a bit of a let down. Feeds people to crabs, Doesn't say anything, doesn't fight, then gets killed off screen.
I was hoping to see more of him. He was really creepy.
If anyone else has watched Vikings, I'm pretty sure the Lannister actor is Thorstein from Vikings. I love seeing crossover actors! He played a good role as a stuck up Lannister.
Thanks. Was really scratchng over it
@@exodizedbebe ya I kept questioning it like hey.. he looks familiar.
I just looked it up. He plays both twins and he also had a role in GoT (Ser Hugh of the Vale). Cool!
He was also fantastic and hateful in Taboo with Tom Hardy
Yeah I figured it out after awhile 😀
💚Rhaenyra, Viserys and Daemon 💚
you're saying the war didn't go to plan, but what exactly was the plan?
in what scenario can a couple of grown dragons not win this war within a couple of days?
Guerrilla tactics.
Even Aegon the conqueror couldn’t conquer dorne with his sisters, and he had balerion, and lost one of his sisters and her dragon. All because of dorne simply hiding then appear to attack then escape. Same with these guys hiding in the caves
Dragons are not always the solution.
@@lordofmadness5346 they have air and sea superiority...2 dragons that can burn anything to ash, men with better armor and training, and they fight with them for 3 years? Guerrilla tactics my ass, thay have 100 archers shooting at him and no one can hit him.. then he send all his army after 1 man, this show is a joke...
@@ChillYeti yet the same thing happened to Aegon the conqueror and he failed to take Dorne, and that was a 10 year war, and he lost a dragon. Guerrilla tactics work
This episode got me very excited. Felt like a small movie with the amount of character development they did. And I found it hilarious just how annoying the Lannisters are in this series
Daemon Targaryen plot armour from arrows, dozens of men, and immunity from a deadly contagious disease.
Casuals: “oMg tHiS iS gUy iS sO bAdAsS” 🥴
Let the people enjoy scene you don't have to whine about everything.
Can't have been very good plot armour considering he got shot multiple times
So great seeing Seasmoke 💕💕💕💕
anyone notice viserys was missing two fingers?
Yep chopped of as they where diseased
Interesting to see all the praise. Go back and watch Game again, and see if you have the same thoughts.....
We are praising it because we are mature enough to move on from GoT and understand that this show is created and produced by the author GRRM, and he hand picked the showrunners. So far, the show is very close to the books.
@@lordofmadness5346 So now I'm immature....Amusing you are. Close to the books or not, do you feel it's holding it's own against today's top quality shows? Compared to a lot of today's top shows it isn't so hot. Name one great piece of dialogue, one quotable scene with impact, from the last three episodes. The torso of the crab King being dragged out was one of the best parts so far. The battle was poorly scripted as well. The dialogue does not stand out on this show. Character portrayals are average at best at this point. That may change as things gel up but if the dialogue doesn't sharpen up we won't have much in the way of change. I actually work in the business, have work with a good portion of the lead cast from Game amongst other top shows, and am familiar with all aspects of production. The sets, locations, music, and wardrobe etc look good. The writing does not stand out, or is it comparable to today's top shows.
@@MovieMuscle that's the comment I was looking for. Totally agree. I dont understand all the praise here. I am 3 episodes in and not feeling it. I dont care about any of the characters, the dialogues cannot compare to the first seasons of GOT at all, and the acting is mediocre.
