Ladies and gentlemen we just saw a generational episode from this franchise. Thank you veteran Thrones director Alan Taylor for giving Rhaenys a thrilling end.
I was so excited to hear he was directing.
Could've been better.
@@vanci3449Whatever. There’s always people like you. Never pleased.
@@vanci3449the direction was pitch perfect as was the writing and acting. I really don’t know what more you wanted out of this adaptation. You give impossible expectations to this franchise and it’s not fair.
@@Michael-hc2vsIt was a good scene pack but pls... There are always people like you always satisfied 🤣
The last look Rhaenys gave Meleys will forever stick with me
RIP to the Queen who never was
That was so sad to watch, Meleys fought super well though
All pet owners heart broke
She should have fled, and try to escape. I don't care what the damn book says, that was hard indeed and very sad 😢.
@@rhysioeren3203 She thought the fall would kill Vhagar, it did not and when she saw that Vhagar was no longer on the ground she knew knew they had no hope of out flying Vhagar with Meleys being that injured. It was a last ditch attempt to end Vhagar or at least seriously injure her to the point she wouldn't be battle worthy for a period, giving Rhaenyra time to act without the threat of the largest living dragon on the battlefield.
There was no chance Meleys would've made the flight back to Dragonstone, she was already dying.
@@Supadrumma441Actually I think Meleys was barely injured before Vhagar grabbed her neck. I'm sad because Rhaenys had the chance to retreat, having incapacitated Aegon, which is a bigger victory than keeping that small castle.
I can't believe we're finally seeing the Dance of the Dragons get brought to life. That dragon battle was intense. I had to stand and watch the whole time.
it feel like yester day i watch the game of thrones lore extra about it
Edge of my seat the entire time (I’ve read the book and I was absolutely enthralled and heartbroken all the same, all over again)!
Can’t wait to see ur take on this episode, please give our Red Queen her proper honorable goodbye and our Bestest girl Meleys. They gave their all in fire and blood. 🔥 🩸
It's very hard to see the dragons suffer like that, worst thing is there are still 15 more to fall 😢.
Waiting for your video big boss!!!
RIP Rhaenys Targaryen (The Queen Who Never Was) and Meleys (The Red Queen) we shall never see their likes again.
And the Westeros is better for it.
The Queen Who Should Have Been
@@gerstein03 ...killed after the Council, yes.
That shit hurt
@@corywatkins190 did you think Joffrey's death was painful? No? Then why her?
For such a massive dragon, they sure love having Vhagar do sneak attacks.
Seriously. Where and how does such a huge dragon hide in this scene?
Wouldn't have worked on the Red Queen if she hadn't been partially blinded by the blast she got from the tussle with Sunfire.
As mad as Aemond was, Aegon likely saved his life.
@@blackpinkstannn She ran along the ground towards the ocean, and was hiding behind the cliff underneath the castle. She's an old dragon but she's crafty. And that seems to be her signature move.
Vhagar is massive and much less speedy than smaller dragons. So it has to wait and let Meleys come to it. Makes sense.
@@blackpinkstannn I think this can happen if the timing is right, but I don’t think this can be planned. My guess is that apparently after Vhagar dropped onto the ground (I’m so surprised that Vhagar didn’t seem to break anything on impact), she took off again towards the sea, probably off the cliff to use some of that extra space, and did a 180 turn. The whole time she was probably pretty close to the water until she started to ascend when she’s near the cliff again. That is when Meleys happened to cross that spot on top. I don’t think Vhagar can hover down there to hide and suddenly gain so much speed that Meleys didn’t even have time to react. Also both dragons cannot see each until the last moment, so I doubt this can be timed or planned by Aemond. This thing should be very unlikely to happen in this kind of air combat, unless Rhaenys and Meleys are just very unlucky.
I like the subtle differences between the dragons that they showed here. Sunfyre being the youngest is not only the smallest but also the least experienced. Lacks the tact that Melleys or Vhagar has. Vhagar being the oldest is not just the biggest dragon in the world but is the one most experienced in strategic warfare. That sneak attack on the other hand speaks volumes of her experience and tact.
Also, anyone else notice how similar the dragons are to the riders in terms of personality? Sunfyre is foolhardy and rash like Aegon. Melleys is fearless and wise like Rhaenys. And Vhagar is a sneaky little bastard like Aemond.
THIS! You're so right.
wow. On point
Watch your tongue... That vhagar you called little bastard was also the dragon of King consort Daemon's late lady wife, Laena. And our fierce queen Visenya
But i agree with you the dragon mirror the rider LOL
@@jangkarsuci8885 This is heartbreaking because Baelon was a rider of Vhagar, and Meleys was the Dragon of Alyssa
@jangkarsuci8885 Prince Baelon the Brave and Laena Velaryon sure were kind and good people, but Visenya Targaryen was a war criminal and much like Aemond One-Eye.
"Beloved daughter of Lady Jocelyn Baratheon and Prince Aemon Targaryen, faithful wife to Lord Corlys Velaryon, mother and grandmother, the Queen Who Never Was lived fearlessly, and died amidst blood and fire. She was fifty-five years old."
😭💔❤
Our Golden Boy...the way he hugged Aegon, the way he coiled around him even at the end. 🧡 It broke my heart...
They have special bonding. First time they showed as Sunfyre and the last time we are going to see Sunfyre. I love how they bonded.
He was so beautiful and seemed almost playful 😢. Both of them didn't have to go through that
@@MalaBo1-v1pWell, it won't be the last time......😅
@@MalaBo1-v1p It won't be the last time we see Sunfyre, Jeoffrey has assured us of that.
It is, sadly, not the end for either of them. Stay tuned for more horror!
I loved the difference in Aemond's expression in the first death and now with her death, Ewan is an excellent actor, I can't imagine another
For real. In the first death his expression was like, what have I done!!! . This Dragon is no joke. But here in the second one, his expression is like Where the hell were you going to. Don't you see that you aren't at my level, during the fall of Meleys and Rhaenys. Don't know if I got it right my friend
@@yudajd9665 Yes, I understood your thoughts. Lucerys' death was his first death so I believe that the first death always has a hard impact, because before he only lived through theories and not through practice, but now he's like "yes, I'm going to be the """" villain"""""" that I was born to be, i love this feeling"
Rhaenys and Meleys’ bond was so beautiful, I love that during the battle you can see how much they care for one another
Dragon bonds in general. Did you see how Sunfire, even while mortally wounded, coiled around Aegon to protect him? 😭
Aemond was gonna straight up become a kingslayer and kinslayer at the same time. Aegon is lucky Cristian showed up when he did.
Aemond is now second in line. He might soon head the Green faction. I guess going after the throne and teach your bully brother a final lesson was too much of a temptation
@@stefanvas6984oh, he is gonna become the leader of the Greens now from the next episode. And luck had nothing to do with it. Everything Aemond did in this episode was just cold calculation. He knew Meleys was gonna be tough for Vhagar to take on as she's the fastest dragon alive while Vhagar is old and slow. So, he let Aegon go in in hopes that Sunfyre would wear Meleys off enough for Vhagar to get a sneak attack on her. Also, if Aegon died in the process (which Aemond must've also known since Meleys is no joke) it would be a double win for him as then he would be the king. Then, when he lands near Aegon and Sunfyre, he could've killed him, but probably thought better of it because he knew he'd be taking it too far. There's always the risk of some Master discovering the sword cut marks on the dead body. Plus, he also didn't know how Crispin Cole would've reacted to witnessing him murdering his own brother, the king. Cole probably wouldn't have done anything but there was still a chance. Anyways, that's my take on Aemond in this episode.
he was gonna sheath his sword but the perception looked otherwise
@@hazeinheavenhe was actually looting Blackfyre and the Valyrian dagger from Aegon
@@domingorubies656 he officially can have those items since hes the regent now. he didnt need looting
Melys death at the jaws of Vhagar is very sad to watch if you think about it:
Before Vhagar was claimed by Aemond, she was the dragon of Laena but before that she was the Dragon of Baelon the Brave (Viserys I and Daemon's father). Before Melys was Rhaenys rider, she was ridden by Alyssa Targaryen (Baelon's Sister/Wife and Viserys I and Daemon's Mother).
What does Vhagar’s rider history have to do with killing Meleys?
@@Dolorous_Edd_both femal dragons belonged to Viserys and Damon parents, which means the two dragons were part of the same family for many years
So true, it’s like another level of the kinslaying - the dragons are family too.
@@88kayleighapparently meleys is daughter of vhagar as well
Kudos
House of the Dragon has truly elevated its game with this episode. The dragon-on-dragon fight was incredibly intense, and the choreography was outstanding imo. I'm also enjoying the Harrenhal scenes; the Curse of Harrenhal is one of my favorite theories in all of GRRM's books. Say all you want but this show is really hitting its stride!
Agree, it’s starting to get really interesting.
Makes me sad it wasn’t more present in the show with Arya and Tywin there. Though the role of Jaqen and the Faceless Men was pretty cool too.
Its already better than the last 4 seasons of GOT
I hope those who say they want only say "phenomenal". There is nothing else to describe this masterpiece we are witnessing
I thought the actress for Alys was great.
I was afraid she'd be cringe because she's a super powerful witch and all that. But I was loving every damn second of her performance with Daemon.
She really gives 0 f*cks about the dragons and I love her for that.
Rip The Queen who Never Was Rhaenys Targaryen
The Queen that should have been
Aemond is just mesmerizing on screen especially on dragonback, perfect casting 👌
@@Domorrigana one of the all time great hot characters
Man Alicent spent so much time and energy and plotting for her children who she seems to not even like.
because she wants power and is still bitter over what she had to go through to become the queen and have kids with an old man, as if those weren't her decisions to accept the marriage proposal
I knew what was coming and still cried. Great visuals and a great score
Are we going to see Viserys in Daemon's hallucinations? Meleys and Rhaenys will be missed. Poor Sunfyre.
I am secretly hoping for a tiny bit more of Paddy in Daemons visions 😁
No. Because he din't wrong him. He groomed the young girls for hus gain🤡
@@DarkHarlequin Maybe next episode? in the promo trailer we hear some voices from the past during the Harrenhal scenes for next episode. It sounds like we might see Laena or at least hear again. There also a possibility we see Aemma again.
Eve Best, we love you and will miss you! Congratulations on your portrayal of Rhaenys, she definitely has made a huge impact, not just in HotD but in George R. R. Martin's universe as a whole.
Yep. Definitely on my top 5 fav GoT universe characters for sure. Long live the Queen that should have been, and her dragon Meleys the Red Queen.
Eve Best ate every fricking scene.
She was relentless. I find it funny she said she doesn't like to look at herself on-screen and despite that, she carried such a strong presence.
She wasn't as big a character as I wish she had been, but again, even though her dialogue was smaller than I would've liked, she was always felt in every scene.
Slay, Red Queen, Rhaenys Targaryen Baratheon, The Hammer of the Greens.
I agree 100%.🖤🐲🐉🫶
I really loved Eve Best's portrayal . no unnecessary words or movements just an amazing smile and eyes
I love Vhagar on the grass waiting for her boy instruction.
Dragons really find their riders don't they? Sunfire as a lively, rash, spirited Dragon found Aegon. And Vhagar the clever old predator has found a fellow patient predator in Aemond 😉
The way Meleys tossed Vhagar to the ground was EPIC
She didnt toss Vhagar to the ground, both dragons were falling to the ground. When vhagar released meleys, meleys was able to stay airborne due to being more agile than vhagar is.
That Sunfyre head bump with Aegon was cute. I imagined him saying something like "where you been, you little b*stared? Hop on let's go have fun". 😅
Long live Rhaenys of the House Targaryen. The Queen Who Never Was but Should Have Been. Dying with Meleys the Red Queen with both accepting their fate is likely how both wanted to go out. You could see it in their eyes that they weren’t living through this one🥺
She died at 52... which I suppose is fairly long-lived for Targaryens.
@@NotAGoodUsername360she died at 55
Hypocrite the biggest of them all slayer of innocents let her rot in hell
so hard to watch. knew it was coming and still cried my eyes out
I’ve cried as well. It was heartbreaking.
When Cersei is a better mother than you, you know you’ve messed up.
Or when your friend turned opponent who pumped out protected bastards was a better mum than you are to your trueborns, game over. But then again, Alicent learned by example from a father who practically pimped her out for his political ambitions.
Cersei was a fiercely great mother! Almost every thing she did was to protect her children... She set the bar high there
I'll miss Rhaenys IMMENSELY!! RIP!! Wait until Corlys finds out - God bless anyone that gets in his way!
What’s Corlys going to do against Vaghar, exactly?
@@alexman378not Corlys, but Daemon and Caraxes...
@@FuLLL04 Yup, they’re the actual serious contenders.
Love Aemond. Spectacular aura each time he has a role.
As a whole, this surpasses any single previous episode of this entire season
Even the GoT
@@marsonfillit surpasses all of GOT season 7-8. And some other episodes so yeah it’s up there
@@AnimeLover-mn2wg this is season 7-8 level writing. Aemond's character was assassinated like many characters were in the last seasons. And worse than that they turned him into a complete idiot. The guy openly atempts regicide in front of the king's army, he tries to take out one of the few battle worthy dragons that his own side has (when their enemies already have more dragons) and then aproaches to finish Aegon with a sword right in front of Sunfyre who despite wounded would have still blasted him with fire for it.
@@masterplokoon8803 if I didn’t read the books I would t hate this show at all. But because I read the books I was expecting better or for it to go exactly like that. But I have to separate the two.
@@AnimeLover-mn2wg even taking into acount only the show, Aemond was portrayed as a rash but relatively smart and intelligent young man, his actions here are purely idiotic even if we haven't read about his loyalty to his brother from books. Show Aemond never gave the impression that he would be dumb enough to atack one of the few dragons on his side when the enemy has a numerical advantadge on dragons. And not only that but also trying openly kill the king in front of his men? And the final scene of him aproaching Aegon with a sword while Sunfyre is still very much capable of killing someone who stabbs Aegon who is right in front of him. And even in the show in the end of season 1 and beggining of season 2 Aegon and Aemond seemed to have gotten closer only for it to be ruined by the brothel scene.
Yall nailed the cries of Sunfyre. His cries will haunt me for a long time. Along with the way Meleys looked at Rhaenys til she stopped breathing. 😭 😭
I'm a 100% team Black, but I love how complex Aegon's character is! Yes he is a spoiled little brat but he is anything but a psychopath... I'm so curious about his path. And Sunfyre is so beautiful! I loved the sceen they greeted each other... so sweet.
Aemond intentionally flaming aegon adds such a great yet still in line with character twist to the story.
Add what ??? they assassinated whole TG
Somehow, the most heartbreaking moments were Sunfyre and Meleys's screams.
This episode was so intense that I lost my breath, literally, and cried, not out of sadness, but out of shock. Wow!
The music elevated the whole feel of the battle. 10/10
Man how experienced Meleys was as a dragon. That counter on Agon and sunfire was incredible. She even slammed Vaghar on ground, destroyed half of cole's army and killed that hightower knight. All this by herself when she was outnumbered so badly by dragons and armies.
I didn't see gwayne hightower die. Sunfyre was no match for her dragon just like vhagar grabbed her dragon easily with its claws and latter snatched it by the neck pretty forcefully
I also love how Rhaenys was steelset on going to finish off on top that day but Vaghar just had other plans! I loved on how Meleys looked at Rhaenys saying "I am ready!" and the last look before dying saying goodbye!
As much as Aemond hates to admit it, even the Maesters will write that his plan wouldn'tve worked without a two-dragon ambush, Maelys and Raenys were simply FAR more experienced than he was.
The blast to the face ended any hope Maelys had of catching Vaeghar's sneak attack, Rhaenys should've retreated after realizing she was outnumbered, even if Sunfyre was quickly decommissioned.
@@NotAGoodUsername360me screaming at my screen “get outta there!”
I think strategically would’ve been better to regroup … 😢 Rip to the dragons
Gwayne didn’t die here.
unintentionally funny things this ep:
1. cole being knocked out for the ambush he orchestrated
2. daemond pulling a bran and playing haunted mansion in harrenhall
3. rhaenyra also pulling an aegon and wanting to ride into battle
4. vaghar hiding behind a castle wall while being as big as said wall
5. vaghar's friendly fire squashing 2 men like melons while taking off
6. rhaeneys sacrificing herself and her dragon for a castle no one cares about
This will go down in the history book. GOATED
There's a moment in this episode, when Alicent is looking for Visery's books, that Aegon makes his guards leave. Then, they stumble on upon the other and only one of them bows down before leaving the room. I laughed so hard at that moment, because it was an amazing way to convey how none of their guards actually know anything about their job. They're just a bunch of brats spoiled by their king. Gosh, forget about the dragons. I love those little day-to-day interactions and how they show the arch of the characters.
Rhaenys Targaryen, The Queen who never was
Best character ❤❤
“She is my queen.”
- Aegon “Jon Snow” Targaryen, perhaps
And Melys! Dont forget her loyal dragon.
And thankfully never was
The Queen that should have been. She would have had a smoother time getting the Lords to be loyal.
I cried for sunfyre and Aegon. I felt so much empathy with Aegon it was surprising. Tom is an amazing actor.
The dragons were the main actors though. Meleys was such a good girl 😢
Instead of “nothing” Alicent could have said, “be a good father and husband.”
Aemond and Vahgar make a scary combo. Crafty and experienced.
That subtle foreshadowing when Rhaenys buckles her saddle strap ifykyk.
If Alicent wanted a puppet, maybe she should have learned how to be a better puppeteer.
You don’t say those things to a man (let alone her own son) whose son was just assassinated and who is fighting for the throne due to your actions putting him there in the first place. Regardless of her resentment for him, Alicent needed to handle Aegon far more carefully.
Alicent just complains about everything, hypocritically criticizing everyone and never takes responsibility for her actions
I hate watching her scenes, she's insufferable
Yah fuck Otto and Alicent, so selfish in their desires they would rather put their offspring in harms way than protect them. And then they aren't even there for them when they suffer needlessly. To Aegon, Helaena, the prince Jaehaerys, Luke, Sunfrye, Meleys and Rhaenys, you deserve so much better❤
That final stare by aemond is so chilling damn ewan michell is such a phenomenal actor putting those emotions into just one glimbse
7:50 I love how Cole shouts "YOUR GRACE!" as if Aegon would ever hear him from that distance lol.
This wouldn't be as good without the build up! This wouldn't be as good without the build up! Yes! Thank you George for standing your ground in the writers room! This is where GOT fucked up, they made the elementary assumption that since we have big reactions to this type of episode that this is all we want, it's not! This was unbelievably epic, but it's that way because of all the build up! All the council meetings, the planning. So when "enough with the clever plans" comes to fruition, we feel the weight of it. This is how you write fantasy. Thank you George, this world is your baby. I'm so happy to be back in a Westeros that makes sense. Thank you HBO for giving this it's true effort. Thank you to everyone working on the show, game of thrones is back baby! 💯👏🏼💯👏🏼
AMEN!!!
@@ShepardOfficial To be honest I don't feel George has a place in the writers room 🤣
I'm not saying he doesn't have, I say I don't see it.
@@Hear.myvoice I know it's easy to think that given the last seasons of GOT, but by the time season 6 came around, George was very well aware that D&D were ruining his story. He was already working on HOTD and others. There was a featurette a week or 2 ago with George talking about a meeting with the writers about where to start HOTD. They went more towards George's ideas. I'm not saying he is king, and his word is final, but the writers clearly respected his visions by starting it with the death of King Jaheares. He was already mad at D&D for what they were doing with GOT so he checked out. That's why I understand you may think that way, but it's not the case. George's word still holds sway in Westeros, and thank the Gods he does 💯
@@Hear.myvoice I think you need to reread bud lol. I said I don't think George's word is law in the writing room. But that his voice did still hold power. It's his world. And if they were just saying George is involved for marketing, why was it specifically stated in the last few GOT seasons that George was not a part of it? That completely goes against that. Some of the writers wanted to start HOTD at Viserys' death. Yea. Literally would have lost all of the first season. He wanted to start even further back before King Jaheares death. They leaned towards George's idea. So of course there are going to be scenes, and possibly entire episodes that George didn't write. That's what happens when there's a team of writers lol. But my point in the first place was emphasizing how important the build up of season 1 was. That these episodes only work when we feel the weight of the moments. Without season 1, this battle tonight would have just been good filmmaking. Kind of like the last couple GOT seasons. That was my point. So as far as George's involvement, it's just speculation. But to think he has no sway would be an assumption arrived at prematurely.
Yup. That's why I prefer the earlier GOT battle scenes that were not part of a "battle" episode cause they were built up and also had an element of spontaneity (eg hardhome). Like anything could have happened, it wasn't a given that they'd be a battle. I know a lot of people loved the battle of the bastards and it was good don't get me wrong but...we knew what was coming even those who didn't know the book canon, and it was most of the episode so (do appreciate that there is always a twist in the battle episodes.
Moral of the story: don't bully anyone...especially don't keep bullying that particular bullied...That bullied person will become the bigger villain and destroy all and everything.
Not really. Almond would have sided with the greens anyways even if he wasn't bullied as a kid. The war is motivated by political interests
@@DisasterDIYistAlmond 😂

And do it with a subtle smile on his face...
Is sad to see aegon he was happy to see his little brother to help him and gaved him hope i feel bad for him he lost his son and now his brother have betrayed him i know he bullied him but when aemond did the joke to the strong boys aegon standed behind his brother he and his dragon doesnt deserved to end like this
Ain’t gonna lie Aegon’s Dracarys I felt that 💯❤️❤️❤️
#teamblackthough
"I can have to make a war?"
That was funny😂
Not since GoT S6 E10 have we seen such a masterpiece of an episode. This was INCREDIBLE!
Personally I prefer S06 over any other season . But regarding what you said . I think the battle behind the wall in S07 was very good . And also spoils of war .
@@jontargaryen841 S6 the writing had already started to plummet. Gratuitous dragon scenes and the BoTB just diverted attention. S4 and S3 are clear as the best seasons.
@@jontargaryen841 what a horrible taste. Pathetic

Hopefully the slow attention span people will stop complaining bout there being no big battles/dragon battles. R.I.P. to the Queen that should’ve been💯

@@frankie3010 she literally came back to fight she never ran.... What show did you watch, how is she a coward what're you talking about.... If you're gonna rage bait at least be smart about it this is just silly
They do Aegon and Sunfyre so dirty it makes no sense.
That’s what happens in the books, my dude
@@Dolorous_Edd_ Aemond does not try to kill his brother in the books, and he and Sunfyre put up a decent fight against Maelys until Vhagar clumsily lands on them both. The showrunners however never fail to shit on Aegon and the greens at every opportunity
@@Dolorous_Edd_ Sunfyre did most of the damage to Meleys in the books and vaghar came in put an end. It's nearly not as one sided as it was shown in the series.
@@Dolorous_Edd_ No it does not my guy. Both Aegon and Aemond fly together towards Meleys. Rhaenys knows she cannot take on both and is going to die, she attacks Sunfyre as he is the smallest of all of them. Aemond with Vhagar descends from above and has no choice but to use dracarys since Meleys is biting into Sunfyre's neck. If Aemond does not do anything Sunfyre's neck could be ripped apart and Aegon will fall to his death, Aemond then burns both of them and all three dragons tumble down. Only Aemond flies away while Aegon is burnt. The battle is changed to showcase that Aegon wants to be respected but the show fails at this. We needed more Sunfyre scenes before the battle, he is the most beautiful dragon in the world, and with Aegon, they have the closest bond any dragon rider has ever had. During season 1 we should have gotten Aegon and Sunfyre flying after his coronation around the red keep. But what we get is more shock moments and girlboss scenes which do nothing to drive the plot forward or make the female cast interesting. There is a reason why this season so far has had less viewership and lower ratings then season 1 so far.
@paulinoclavijo-barahona8645 good gawd, cry more.
Ewan's scenes as Aemond looked and sounded good.
This episode was so GOOD. Had me on the edge of my seat the entire battle scene
Rhaenys was my favorite character. RIP my Queen. What is dead may never die. 🖤🖤🖤
If that's how Meleys, Sunfyre and Vhagar danced, I can't wait for Caraxes' turn.
Caraxes its lile Daemon, ride or die
Deamon was right . He should have went directly to Vhagar with Meyles. They would’ve absolutely destroyed the old dragon together . Now it’s time Someone rides Virmithor .
The moment I cried was seeing a dying Meleys looking back at Rhaenys one last time before she passed and The Queen Who Never Was died a true Dragon Rider’s Death. She will never be forgotten!
Also this episode made me feel so bad for Aegon, not as a King but as a character. He has these insecurities and well having a strained relationship with Alicent because let’s face it an excuse me for being so blunt, who’s a MASSIVE bitch as well as a horrible mother to him. Adding more fuel to the fire SHE’S the reason why Aegon got on Sunfyre and sent him to state where he would never be the same again.
There's a moment when Alicent is talking to Aegon and she asks him "What ideas do you have?" and she can't contain a smile, like even she knows how limited is her kid. I was loosing my ass at that moment. She went truly savage on him. Dear lord.
Seeing Rhaenys and Maelys fighting head on is a whole level of dragon and rider bond. She didn't have to shout dracarys yet so much could be accomplished.
I am very sorry for Aegon, the poor guy who was humiliated by his own relatives, trampled on his courage, did not support him morally in any way, forced him to take desperate measures. There is a difference in how Rhaenyra loves her children, her son Jace also wants to fly to prove that he is brave, but she behaves correctly with him, shows love and refrains from impulsive actions, while Alicent humiliates her son and tramples on his self-esteem, making it clear that he is useless. Aemond is a traitor. For the second time, he solves his bullying problems with rash actions.
Ruthless Vhagar hits again! 😂 The trickery, the strategy! She really is that B on the battlefield man. There's a reason She's still around. I can see why she chose Aemond. Fellow ruthless battle strategists combo 🤝
Meylys dying was the turning point for Daemon. His wrath has waited enough. He is now coming w a burning fury oh and with Caraxes
You know the episode is great when you still get terribly devastated even if you already know what would happen. Rhaenys and Meleys are queens in their own rights.
Team green anyone?
I truly feel for aegon he’s not that bad person
Just a rapist...

Thank you Eve Best for bringing Rhaenys to life and making her one of my favorite characters! Long Live Rhaenys Targaryen, Queen who Never Was, Long may you reign in our hearts!!! 😢❤👸🏼
The cinematography in the end ..wowww...it was straight out of an epic...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥every frame was a painting 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
aemond gonna retire and call his food place: brother's bbq
CGI people did a really good job conveying how big and heavy Vhagar is... and then it appears out of nowhere
Thank you to all the people that bring to life such an amazing character like the Queen Who never was. And especially thanks to Eve Best for being so perfect to be Rhaenys Targaryen. We’re gonna miss her ❤️
Enjoyed the dragon fight but the 'surprise' attack everyone saw coming
It is with a heavy heart…RIP Rhaenys and Meleys. 🖤🐉 🖤
I think Alicent Failed as a mother to see that Aegon is still a Teenager That craves a mother attention and fails to Spot Aemond’s animosity for his brother and how it will affect them
And the way she fails to protect Helaena when they decide to put her on a wagon and cart her dead son around town and she doesn't comfort Aegon after his son is murdered and he's sobbing and Aemond ends up with no respect for her... she's the worst mom in King's Landing!!! Aegon never grew up and Helaena and Aemond had to grow up too fast. Never make a little girl with daddy issues into a mother.
Big props to everyone working on this show. I'm loving it!!
Fantastic episode. Rhaenys and Meleys will be missed. I also felt terrible for Sunfyre, poor baby.
I've watched the histories and lore of game of thrones before i already knew that Rhaenys and Meleys will die at rook's rest but watching it happen broke my heart but to see them die the way they did, to see them fight to the very end during the episode made the feeling a little better. To Rhaenys and Meleys.
Just read the books. Much better than the show… which is just fan fiction at this point
That transition at 5:10 was so smooth
Finally a Aemond episode
The unsettling-ness of the horn and seeing the bushes slightly move... how it all went down was unexpected but you just knew what was about to inevitibly happen
I wish the well-directed action sequence in this episode is what we experienced in the final 2 seasons of GoT. Alan Taylor as director is phenomenal so far. Nonetheless, this show has definitely rekindled people's love for the Song of Ice and Fire universe.
Aemond was great this episode... I need more 😍
Since I saw Rhaenys and Lord Corlys having a lovely peaceful moment last week, I knew something terrible is going to happen to them.
Thanks to HBO bring again the valyrian langague cause its been long time to hear that magnificent langague
Hats off to eve she was brilliant and beautiful really gon miss her
I saw some of Cersei in Alicent this episode
So true! Especially the scene when she gives Aegon the raw truth while drinking from her cup.
lol when I saw that clip in the preview last week I literally said looks like Alicent is in her Cersei era 😂 being surly, drinking wine
She's actually in her congenial era... Thank you.
Cersei loved her children at least... Alicent might be less vilainous overall, but the way she treat her children is mental ! They're all broken because of her (aswell as Viserys only caring for Rhaenyra).
Thanks for this episode. It was phenomenal and the last bit was very emotional.
A spectacular episode. Thank you.
Best Dragon Fight Ever
this episode is one for the books 👏🏼
amazing episode from the beginning to the end
Absolutely gut wrenching of episodes i really had me feeling i was during prime of GOT cinemas peak.
when R said 'there are those who have mistaken caution as weakness' while looking at the war table and trying to figure out why Cole was going for Rook's Rest, i thought she was going to bring on the battle strategy, but then...
"I'll go"
WTF?!
