      I got the impression she felt liberated to follow her desires. Daemon just taught her an important lesson, that she can marry for duty but still have sex for fun which is a perspective that suddenly opens up a way to have a relationship of sorts with Criston who she desires that she hadn't truly considered before.
      Edit: of course Ser Criston's vows forbid that which is why he was so conflicted. I love the emphasis on him laying down his white cloak and the camera lingering for a second. Beautifully subtle.

      Yeah, and the prob is that Daemon is already married. To be honest, if he wasn't and actually you know, acted as mature as he did earlier in the episode and made a good case, he might be able to convince Viserys he is a good match for Rhaenyra. Heck his and Viserys' parents were brother and sister. If they had a sister, Viserys would've been married to her instead of Aemma (who is his first cousin). Daemon could make a point that by tradition, marrying them both together 'restrengthens' the blood of the dragon again.
      But Daemon being Daemon chose the most chaotic and dumb way to do stuff.

      What???? You got it so wrong. Daemon has been wanting Rhaenyra and the creators confirmed he stopped because he couldn’t finish just like in earlier episodes.

  • @remember_this1336
    @remember_this1336 2 роки тому +32

    I feel like it needs to be addressed: Rhaenyra's hook-up with Cristen was super icky, what I got from this scene is that she was probably super drunk, but she also kinda pressured Cristen into it, the power imbalance in the situation is too large. And in a way, it shows that Daemon has a really bad influence on her, because it kinda mirrors their situation in a pleasure house, but where Daemon stopped after suddenly finding a conscience, Rhaenyra is too young and drunk to fully understand the nuances. I wonder if it's gonna be a pattern

  • @arwenlostlorn6569
    @arwenlostlorn6569 2 роки тому +16

    So my interpretation of the daemon-rhaenyra scene: Daemon deliberately removed Rhaenyra’s hat and his when they entered the brothel. He did that on purpose. He wanted them both to be seen together and to seduce her in public, which is also why he later admitted to banging the princess when he couldn’t physically go through with it. It was all part of his game to win her hand by sullying her for everyone else. And that only works if there is public gossip. But he stopped because even though this was his plan, i guess he just didn't feel comfortable going through with it and using Rhaenyra like this?

  • @b4byheart726

    Okay so about the whole Daemon not being able to continue sexual actions (lol) thing, in the BTS of this episode the directors explain that he was impotent because he knew it was wrong to use Rheanyra to get back at his brother so I guess he felt bad and couldnt get into it. They also mentioned that he wasn't expecting Rheanyra to get exicted about it and so he couldn't handle not being in control

      Yeah I don't know how I feel about the 2nd part of that explanation, but the feeling guilt part makes sense for Daemon's character. He has been shown to actually care about his family, even with his lust for power and tendency to violence. So making that whole plan then being unable to go through with it as the guilt builds up, is believable.

    I think Daemon had every intention of using Rhaenyra that night. He wanted to force Viserys to allow them to marry. But he genuinely cares for Rhaenyra and realized he couldn’t do that to her in the brothel. I don’t think he has any sexual impotence. I think he’s wanted Rhaenyra for years (a prostitute offers to find him a “silver haired” girl when he couldn’t finish in the first episode) but has never acted on it. And in a moment when he could, she was old enough and she wanted it, he just couldn’t treat her that way. I think he wants to marry her first or at least treat her first time better. Not that he’ll be her first anymore lol.

    As a reminder, Criston is in the Kingsguard. They swear an oath of celibacy. If anyone finds out he broke that oath, with the princess no less, his head is getting chopped off.

    About the tea. Even though the Maester said it was the king who sent it, it may well have been Otto. Let's not forget that both the Hightowers and the Maesters come from Oldtown.
    The maesters are the ones who are supposed to treat whoever is sick. Viserys' father suddenly died of a disease 5 days after he was appointed as Hand (and replaced by Otto) , and now Viserys has a disease that just gets worse and worse.

    'Sadistic'
    Ironically, kinda the opposite with Daemon as time goes on IMO. This is my own speculation with how the show interprets him, and based on existing promo stills, it seems more like he actually responds a lot more to emotional connection than you'd think. Tho with Rhaenyra in this scene, he only pauses when she turns around and looks directly at him, I think being confronted by her gaze of actual affection and love kinda shook him out of the whole plan. He does actually care for Rhaenyra, and seeing her clearly reciprocating is something he somehow wasn't prepared for.
    Prolly at that moment realizing he was going to ruin the actual good relationship they already have for this powerplay against his brother. He drunk himself into a stupor after running away from the brothel which to me, is clearly him trying to bury lots of pesky emotions (guilt, lingering lust, actual romantic love etc.) down. When he's tossed at his brother's feet, he's really in no right state of mind for a masterful speech. When he says he wants Rhaenyra, I think that's his true honest desire.

    • @crystall.411

      Ok so someone analyzed the scene with rhaenyra and daemon and in the brothel scene this what they came up with: when they face each other he performs part of the valyrian wedding ceremony but without the sand and the blood that is involved. in the valyrian ceremony two partners would press there foreheads against each other and caress blood onto their lips and forehead and then they would use a glass of sand over hands cracking the glass before consummating their marriage. thats basically really similar to what daemon does with her in the brothel scene.

I'd give a timestamp, but those are unreliable, so I'll describe the scene instead: The scene starts with us looking up at Joffrey through a grate in the floor. The first line Joffrey says is a spoiler. So cover your ears until the shot changes.
    I'll also describe the scene before it to further prepare you: It involves Varys talking to the prostitute Roz. It ends with Varys saying the line "Prodigies in odd places indeed."

    In Doctor Who the Time Lords (the species that the Doctor is) can "regenerate" if they take a mortal wound but don't die straight away. Essentially they recreate their body into a new one conveniently played by a new actor! Regeneration also alters their personality so each Doctor has their own quirks allowing each new actor to bring something different to the role.

    I think at the end, when the King sent that plan B tea to Rhaenyra, it was implying that he believed Daemon over Rhaenyra. He truly just wanted there to be no further complications.

      We don’t know that the King sent the tea, just that the Maester said it was the king. It’s known that the Maesters and Otto are very close with each other - since they’re both from Oldtown - and Otto could have sent the tea in order for potentially stop a Daemon x Rhaenyra baby because if that baby were male it could strengthen Rhaenyras claim to the throne

    First everyone need to chill out with the ew he is her uncle. They are Targaryens. The dynasty begin with a brother marrying his two sisters. Aemma and Viserys were first cousins. Baelon and Alyssa were brother and sister and jaehaerys and his sister wife. So tunnel viewing this aspect at this point is ridiculous. Take it as it is and you will enjoy and analyze the story better.
    The thing with Daemon is that he is written as a very grey character. In the novels he did things that made him the hero, others that made him a disgusting villain. But one thing can be truly highlighted is that he loves Viserys and Rhaenrya.
    They are his home.
    Also HBO has already shown us the finale previews where we see then wedding the exact same way he tells Viserys in this episode.
    He loves his Targaryen blood and customs. He likes that Rhaenrya is just like him. She understands him.
    Like Viserys said they have the blood of the dragon. They are both restless and chaotic. But they both understand each other.
    He didn’t choose his first wife. He told Rhaenrya in episode 2. Now he tells Viserys he wants her. He is choosing this time and she based on what happened between them and just how she reacted to him coming home is right there.
    However, I know it will be some time until we see them come together. But HBO is definitely putting the foundations there.
    And ultimately the ending is clear.

    41:30 the world of ice and fire describes a nation (I don't remember how they were called) which is not the best example, but a very interesting one. They live in the Bones, a mountain range that divides Essos, in three major cities in their passages. And the thing is, women in their culture have a role of warriors and have a lot of power and prestige specifically because they believe that only those capable of giving life can take it. But they also have some weird choice of style, and practice some heavy eugenics, and women aren't rulers even in this society - they choose the rulers, but it's implied that only men can rule.

    Daemon wants to bring rheanyra to that place and shows people they were there. Yes, he has a hidden agenda. He comes with a plan. But, he didn’t mean to ruin her. He loves his family, his brother and his niece. He wants to wed rheanyra so that he did that to kind of making viserys allows him to wed her. But he doesn’t want to finish it since it was wrong to finish it there. He doesn’t lust for a throne, he lust for rheanyra. He really means it when he says it. If rheanyra should wed someone. Why not him? Who can be there to protect both his brother and his niece. I think it is the best choice among the situation in daemon’s opinion. The Targaryen blood runs thick, as he said.

    It's natural for targeryan to wed /get intimate...in order to keep the bloodline pure...to maintain their bond with the dragons...
    They get married in between siblings...so uncle and niece is quite distant compared to that...
    He does need to be guilty.. neither she.. it's natural for them by law...
    C'mon man ...if anyone hasn't read the books that's ok but even by the show u get this basic thing .. upfront..
    Otto offered baby agoen .. rahnerya's half brother as her husband..match..
    Remember.. nd king's only objection was the boy was of 2 years age..
    Similarly if daemon wasn't married already... the king wouldn't have any objection

    Something that caught my eye in Daemon rejecting Rhaenyra, was that sudden outburst of frustration and then leaving the sexual encounter completely. This reminded me a lot of the scene between Daemon and Mysaria in the first episode where he almost exactly shows the same behavior. In the scene from the first episode I got the feeling that Daemon is perhaps becoming impotent, or something similar. In the way I interpreted D&R's encounter, he leaves her there out of frustration/embarrassment, rather than out of disrespect/cruelty. I could be very much wrong in my interpretation, just my personal feelings atm.

    In Game of Thrones we saw cersei and jaimes incest and that is very wrong and not because they are brothers because in the Targaryen family there is a lot of that and it is normal in the family for example Daemon's countries is viserys they are brothers and they are tired and viserys he is married to his cousin who is a mother and Rhaenyra so it is super normal the incest more than Cersei is Jaimes there yes and wrong Because they are not Targaryen if it was Targaryen then fine they can be together but they are not Targaryen that's why na series they hide it because they know it's wrong what they are doing that is incest they can't but if they were targaryen then no one is bothering them but they aren't targaryen so they can't be related it's only targaryen who can to incest because it is the Targaryen family custom to incest
    The Daemon likes Rhaenyra the daemon wanted to show Rhaenyra things because Rhaenyra doesn't know anything outside the kingdom the daemon's plan I believe the daemon wanted people to see them together and they say the princess went into a brothel with her uncle so much as soon as the daemon took off rhaenyra's hood and hat before entering the brothel but the daemon gives up and walks away too bad because he left her alone and rhaenyra and christian's relationship was also wrong because christian he is a knight and he soiled his white robe, remembering that Christian is older than Daemon, so age doesn't matter in this universe, just like incest doesn't matter because that's normal in the Targaryen family. I'm already used to it because I read George Martin's books and in the stories he tells about the Targaryen family, they all have incest. Incest is the most normal thing in this universe
    I didn't like the way Alicent talked to Rhaenyra if she wants help friend no and just like you approach a friend Alicent is jealous of her Rhaenyra because Rhaenyra slept with whoever she wanted, she doesn't have to sleep with an old man, you'll understand yet more later Alicent is jealous of Rhaenyra's life in the book shows more
    See the difference in the scenes when the daemon talks to Rhaenyra talking even though she is married he can feel pleasure with whoever she wants in the Alicent scene and viserys Alicent is not feeling pleasure already in the Rhaenyra scene and Daemon Rhaenyra is feeling pleasure even if it was the kiss but she is enjoying it more after she sleeps with Christian and she feels pleasure there you can see
    In the throne scene, when the daemon says that viserys can do what he wants, because he is the king, he rules him and the law, he is a Targaryen, this is true, as it is also true when viserys tells Alicent that the daemon and rhaenyra are dragons are restless that's true too

    She never really trusted Alicent back, thats prolly why she lied. But you see HOTD is based on perspectives by different accounts, so my mind keeps telling me- is that how they are approaching this? That what we are seeing might not be the whole truth, but the narration of one maester to another. They intentionally did that with the "heir for a day", so is that the same case with the brothel scene? is Rhaenyra really lying? It epic writing thats for sure

    I actually find the relationship between king and princess annoying
    On one episode , they would seem to understand the importance of being a leader and the realm. With prophecy guiding them and , show them the importance of focus on bigger picture.
    Next episode she would rebel like a brat and he would act like it’s his first day as king
    Then they would talk it out as if everything is all good and they need to both focus on the big picture
    Then next episode ,she would act like a little rebellion spoiled kid
    And he would once again act like a dumb person
    its like time has jumped for everyone except for them.
    how can theKing Viserys be so "dumb" and able to rule the realm for so many years
    and Princess Rhaenyra be so childish. yes she is young but come on, in the world setting, she isn't young no more. there are better ways to portrait her as "rebelious and independent "
    It’s like a sitcom. U see them grow but next episode go back to the original self as if nothing ever happened.
