Hi
Does it work for Max? Can anyone confirm?
What movie site you can visit to wath it for free?
That is illegal sir
i felt in the first court scene he was greatly portrayed as a normal young adult, then Otto comes in and fucks up his thinking
The fact that Criston Cole could’ve prevented the death of Aegon’s son if he wasn’t so busy having sex with a hypocrite while being a hypocrite himself.
bingo!
Well, Criston Cole is only Alicent's guard, not Helana's (at least, that's the impression I get from the show). So even if he hadn't been doing his job, he still would have been too late. The bigger question is, why doesn't she have her own guards (like she does in the book)?
I don't believe Cole as commander would be on newborn detail. You'd imagine they'd have someone guarding though
Cole is the Lord Commander of the King’s Guard and his responsibility is to the king and the heirs. He is no long the sword sword of the Queen. That being said he probably gave himself the watch for the night to have privacy with Alicent. This (coupled with the Kingsguard not being full strength) is why there were no guards in the Royal apartments when there certainly should have been.
Aegon feels more like a real human compared to Joffrey. He was the most interesting to me this episode
Completely agree. Glad they just didn't have him being cruel for no reason.
I think they tried to show his compassion side this exposed because of what was about to happen and he will turn crazy for vengeance so we can see how unstable he was but he did try to be kind but the world didn’t let him.
His story in Fire & Blood is awesome, and they've been pretty honorable to that on the screen. He really was just a victim of circumstances. Just content with being another Targaryen.
@@bryanjames5256 I mean he did run away from being King, and now that he got the power he wanted to help and they wouldn’t let him. You could see how he tried to
Maybe, but I don't think it's realistic for him or his mother to be so careless as to not worry about putting a guard at his family's door or beefed-up security. Especially, as they prepare for pending war.
Alicent dismissed the handmaids because she felt overwhelmed by the fact that Creepy Clubfoot bro selected them
That was funny as I thought she trusted him.
I wonder if they made a tapestry of Alicent's feet for him.
Creepy Clubfoot is up to something too...he seems to be vying as the new Hand of the King...already planting seeds to King Aegon during that little private chat. His acting is so good being Creepy Clubfoot because he gives me the ick when watching his scenes.
@@skywalker6648 She doesnt trust him. she needed him, cause he was the only support when hand of the king was strong.
@@hrishikesh8541 Right! She can’t trust the guy who offed his dad and brother so he could see some toes
Rhaenyra and Jace scene got me crying. Also, at the beach when she sees the wing and Luke's cloak.
Same
Same fr
and syrax Lowkey crying to it hit a soft spot
What movie site you can visit to wath it for free?
@@hikarimizuo9709123movies. Type in that exactly and hit the first link that comes up I believe. If not just keep checking different links. The link for me wouldn’t load the episode on the laptop but it did on my phone browser. So if it doesn’t work on a computer try on your phone or like ipad
I think my fave thing about this episode is that Rhaenyra had ONE LINE! Emma did her big one with this role!
I was saying the same thing , everyone spoke but her
*they/them (:
@@owenboyles3638no saying her here is the right context the character is She/her person acting isn’t
@devinruiz2164, except that the user said "Emma did HER big one". They were referring to the actor and not the character!
She did nothing but cry the entire time
We are so back
Hell yeah we are!!!
Literally the first thing I said after that last scene.
LFG that episode was fire
Guess it depends on what you were expecting, lol.
@@skywalker6648Is someone a book comparer?? lol
I think that Alicent dismissing the servants was more of a nod to the fact that Larys is always watching and spying on her, that he picked her staff personally himself, like he mentions earlier.
Yes. I was about to say this. His fetishes and his using of her made her feel dirty and uncomfortable. The fact that he personally assigned handmaidens to her gives the implication that Larys wants to personally see to it that she is “properly prepared” for whenever he wants to enact those desires in her presence. Essentially he is grooming her through his use of servants under the guise of security.
Big paranoia plus she's trying to have some moments that genuinely her own and not in the glare of the realm.
The only miss was Otto looking at Criston and Alicent when they walk in together, he CLEARLY knows something is up and now Helena has seen them together. The jig is up.
I think Helaena might be too traumatised to speak up after this point
One more: Larys Strong has changed the handmaidens of alicent, with an excuse that the previous spied for white worm. Larys suspects the acts of queen and lord commander of kingsguard. so, it is one way of knowing queen's dark secrets.
Alicent is well aware of the intentions of lord larys and feels creepy when those hand maidens bathe her.
@hrishikesh8541 so true!
Helena wouldn't have cared as it is, she senses everything but lives in her whole world. Plus after this she is gonna lose it anyway.
@@defiantaichifacts she did not care
My mans is quick
The get screeners before hand. They’ve been working on this video for days 💕 Brianna did a great job!!
@@Phbalancedshortyright!
This opening scene was so freaking phenomenal, seeing Winterfell and the Wall and off course Cregan Stark himself. Loved it.
Me too!! Can't wait to see the Hour of the Wolf on screen!! Gonna be amazing!!
The music to start it off was amazing.
This show still lacks the substance that Game of thrones had in the beginning.
@@skywalker6648 you will miss the beauty of the show if you start comparing . I mean GOT is a GOAT show except for that last seasons , but sill HOTD impressed me a lot
@@LokiTheSavior More like, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Regardless, it's natural to compare it to GOT because ffs it's a spinoff. So, it will ALWAYS be compared to it. It's a risk the showrunners accepted, lol.
"What if we can't find Aemond?"
Killing Jahaerys was always Daemon's backup plan. A son for a son. It was no accident.
oh definitely
So who is Jahaerys father? If it's Aegon that mean the Queen actually gave up her son. I never read the books I only watched the shows and I'm so confused.
@@MrAnonymous-qq7jthe’s Haelena’s son regardless if Aegon or Aemond is the father. She birthed him
It wasn't a backup. Killing aegon's heir was sole purpose
@@MrAnonymous-qq7jtHe's Aegon and Haelena's son. One of the 3 children. She's gona have one more son maelor Targaryen.
In book she's given the choice to kill between 3 children. She chooses maelor but they still kill the elder one.
The "Sophie's Choice" near the end was heartbreaking. Also, Cheese kicked the dog. John Wick would not approve
i thought it was Blood, that kicked the dog. Cheese loves that dog
They literally killed a kid in front of his mother and y'all are joking about the dog getting kicked
Bro, I was just gonna post a Sophie's Choice reference. lol Beat me to it. But damn, eye for an eye, son for a son. I was hoping how that dog was gonna get out of the Red Keep now. Jackass kicked the dog and it looked real on film?!
@@rias.gremoryyy That was before the kid's head was 'heard' brutally sliced open. ugh!
@@hirolla74yeah, but the comment was made after all of it
Cole still butt hurt by getting tossed by Rhaneyra lol now hes just a sex toy for Alicent as well 😂
He just needs a honda civic and he'll be a complete FK boy 😂
I said the same thing. He is very unstable. He kills when he's upset. He's been giving a huge pass for his bs. I guess the tongue is just that good.
For a man of that time and place, he had remarkably modern Earth notions about romance. He was not supposed to bone at all and the beautiful queen offers him a lifetime of boning, her, with the king's approval. And he's mad because he's got some fanciful, foolish notion of "true" love and giving it all up. That would last all of two years, and a brutal existence of being nobodies.
@@sweetjanejonez i guess rhanerya rping him took a toll on him...12 yr old rhaenyra the rpst fans won't understand though
Guys it's a movie
I had almost forgotten what good television was like
This is my favorite show, I counted the days and they ruined blood and cheese... My fears are coming true
@@will420high4 yall hate everything about a tv show, i read the books already and i thinks this scene are great
@@drycell476 No I don't, this is my favorite show which is why I'm pissed and I don't read the books only read how they butchered blood and cheese so you're 100% wrong lol
You should watch Andor. It's fantastic.
@@will420high4 the hell dude? how did you said that without reading the books? well it's up to you then, enjoy your bitter mind
Sir Cristian Cole blower of backs , master of tongue! 😂
💀
What a fantastic season opener it really had everything winter fell , and starks included.
Except it felt more like a set up episode. Guess show runners were too lazy (or cheap) to open it with at least a minor example of the Targaryen's power with their dragons or drama with regards to losing Rhaenyra's son, lol.
@skywalker6648 Lol k 🙄
@@melanatedqueen6662 In English, bro 🙄.
@@skywalker6648 laugh out loud, okay (roll our eyes at you)
P.S. not all of us just want explosions and CGI dragons mate. hope you appreciate that a lot of people reallly enjoyed this episode, myself included. Hope they do do the battles justice tho
Maegor didn't take the throne when his father died. When Aegon the Conquerer died, his elder son Aenys became king. When Aenys died, Maegor seized the throne, usurping the crown from the rightfui heir, his nephew Aegon (aka "The Uncrowned").
Too...many....names... lmao i hate how similar everyones name is
@@TyDieMusicits not really that confusing after you actually read Fire and Blood. I suggest you check it out. And everyone names their sons after Aegon because he was the greatest of all the Targaryens.
Yup.
It’s made easier in the books because everyone has a title, nickname or epitaph. Aegon I is Conquerer; his grandson is Aegon the Uncrowned; even the two Aegons in this show are known as the younger and the elder. It is confusing but much easier to keep track of. The names being all similar was done purposely by Martin. Look at European history and you’ll see the upper class all reused named over and over.
I also think the change to the tapestry opening refers to the “history does not remember blood, it remembers names” theme
I think Daemon didn't "lost control of his scheme" because one of killers clearly asked "What if we can't find Aemond?" which hints that some one has to be killed
I don’t understand how so many people don’t understand that. They asked the question, the scene cut, and the end of the episode clearly answered that question
@@benj7911 screencrush is not even correcting it ,so bad! It leads to confusion for people who really taught Daemon's plan failed and grandchild died instead of a son! they just used the backup for not finding aemond.
The shot where Criston picks up his vambrace is parallel to when Rhaenyra first took it off on their first night of being intimate.
In a narrative sense I actually really like that the second time we see Criston and Alicent be intimate again is at Rhaenyra’s old room where she and Criston did it the first time. It speaks to how Alicent and Criston may never move on from Rhaenyra especially when it could be possible that they remind each other of her. It’s also an ironic twist of both House’s downfall in the sense of keeping honor, duty, and sacrifice, especially when Alicent specifically said they couldn’t do it again.
😮
🤣🤣 Sir Christian Cole...he literally got upset with Rhaenyra treating him a certain way when she was younger; caused all types of havoc behind it and low and behold; becomes Alicent's 304 in the end 🤔. So low Sir Christian, so low. Feel sorry for the man...have lil bit a dignity.
Criston "Puppet" Cole 😂😂😂
Poor Helena. Had to lose her son and the walk in on her mom doing it 👀
Christian Cole would be a meToo victim in today’s time.
He's a hypocrite, but can't be too mad since Alicent is a baddie
Right!!! The hypocrisy is stifling.
You missed the first quiet words of Helena which are also ominous and also the rat hunter appearing before the council meeting and during the petitions - great foreshadowing
Pretty obvious though.
Rhaenyra ,and syrax finding the wing of arrax ,,and lucerys tattered cloak rrom the Fishermen was so heartwrenching.
I admit it made me misty eyed!
😂😂😂
Was surprised at the speculation in the video that this would make her appear "weak" with the small folk. I would expect that her mother's grief would endear her to them.
FINALLY got some quality back on our screens again. The writing, acting, set designs and cinematography is PHENOMENAL 🔥 June/July being dominated by House Of The Dragon and The Boys !
Game of thrones was still better in that department, though. Especially in regard to attention to detail. But at least it doesn't look too cheap, and the music is the same. That said, we're going to pretend the last season of GOT didn't exist along with its Starbucks cup scene, water bottles scene, and other odd stuff laying around, lol.
Amen to both!!!!!!
@@ryancraigdavis 👍🏼👍🏼
@@skywalker6648Wow you're everywhere defending Game of Thrones. It's funny really cus HOTD feels like a higher quality show in all those departments. Writing, acting, cine, score etc etc.
What movie site you can visit to wath it for free?
Corlys was speaking to Alyn of Hull, not Adam. Alyn mentions his brother Adam, but Adam is not yet shown.
Matt Smith is slaying as Daemon. He is going to wreck something.
"He can keep his tongue." 💪
Daemon was always a coward.. he knows he can't take vaghar on and survive
Man, I’m just waiting for him to snap! I know it will be glorious!
@@rias.gremoryyy that's called being a logical, du mb pricss

Show is on a level of it's own. When Jacerys reports on his mission to Raneyra = tears! I didn't know I could cry.
I could cry clensing tears of appreciation for relief from the ENDLESS shit Disney/etc has been force feeding us.
That's Alyn of Hull, not Adam. Adam is his brother. Corlys clearly says his name in that scene.
"Alyn and his brother Addam had silver hair and purple eyes. They were small and quick like their mother," - if true that adaptation is dogshit
@@selmopt Corlys and Alyn also were the only black guys on Driftmark. They are making it very clear Alyn's his bastard son lol
@@selmoptI think they didn’t gave the hair to not make it too obvious so soon. But yeah, it’s weird that they don’t have silver hair and purple eyes like in the books
@selmopt ikr and literally addams hair in the show is black😭 it just doesn’t make sense when they choose to have silver hair or when not to. Like rhaenys is supposed to have black hair with just a silver streak im pretty sure, thus making the fact that rhaenaryas bastards having black hair more believable. Now they’re doing the reverse and making a silver haired Adam black haired instead😂
Blood and Cheese was definitely not as horrifying as it should have been, but overall it was great
@BlazerManiacNumber96 Once again someone who doesn’t understand that story was told by a UNRELIABLE NARRATOR. Ryan and George have told y’all that numerous times. Mushroom was messy and the archmaester was trying to protect reputations. The truth is what we get on the show. This is probably what really happened and it makes much more sense that they wouldn’t know what to do. They weren’t trained assassins like the faceless men and the way it was told in Fire and Blood made it seem like they were. It makes sense they wouldn’t know what to do with Helena or which one was which,. It played out as unorganized and messy which makes sense given who they were. 💁🏾♀️
@@melanatedqueen6662 This entire comment reads as though Fire and Blood is an actual history book and not a work of fiction constructed by a singular author with the intent of telling a story 🤦♂️ I suppose the author was so unreliable that he didn’t get the number of children right either lol it also washes Daemon of accountability, further white washing his character.
HOTD is not some canon version of the events described in Fire and Blood. They’re separate universes. We can debate til the cows come how about “they aren’t trained assassins”, in the end, the scene simply wasn’t as tense or horrifying as it came across on the page. This is the result of creative decisions that did not work.
@@BlazerManiacNumber96 I agree with you about how to view the original story and the adaptation, but I mentioned the below point in another comment.
The showrunners are taking a much more human and nuanced characterization to HotD, whereas GRRM (in F&B) I think was really just going full force into the wildest, most violent acts to show us what could possibly have happened in such medieval times. GRRM plays a big part in the show, so any creative decisions they make are linked to the original creator (unlike Witcher, for example).
With that said, I trust what they're doing because what I see is a much more nuanced take on very similar plotlines but with much deeper characterizations and personalities. It HAS to be because we're seeing much more of the characters second-by-second, as opposed to the "unreliable narrator" perspective of F&B which allows GRRM to just cover high-level plot (which he's excellent at IMO) and some outlining dialogue (but not enough to auto-script a multi-season HBO series).
Condal and GRRM, IMO, are maintaining the main themes which is that peace takes work and luck and violence is easy and people often fall down that slippery slope due to emotions and poorly-though actions. They're not being as hypocritical as GoT (show) where GRRM's plot/themes were about the savagery of war, meanwhile the show flaunts tits and blood often unnecessarily. IMO, we don't need every show to shove violence down our throats - whether it's well made or not.
In the end, the creative decisions "working" or not working are subjective. To each their own. As for me, I really like their take on it, and thought they executed well. Re-enacting F&B directly would've been either too (pardon the pun) cheesy or too horror/gore-porn which would've been too niche for the global audience they want to maintain.
The blade noises in the Blood and Cheese scene is terrifying, I didn't know they cut the child so many times and not just a single cut.
What movie site you can visit to wath it for free?
They cut the throat and the noches were them cutting the helado Daemon asked...awful!!
Dame autocorrect...
Jajaja. The noises were them cutting the head off!😢
she will take delivery of the evidence for the mission as 'completed', in a small bag ..... there within is the content at about the size of a grapefruit. Or make that RED grapefruit.
Everything Rhaenyra and Halaena do this season is VALID
I think Alicent dismissed her handmaidens because she suspected them of being spies.
former spies, as in the 'unalived' kind of spies.
@@al28854 no these would be the new spies clubfoot hired. He was asking about her being "In disposed" so he knows about Cole. She is worried he is jealous.
I was already team black but after today's episode I am doubling down on it. So much for honor and decency, especially Cole and Alicent.
Me too. Much like I was solidly Team Stark in GOT.
THANKS for this, ScreenCrush Gang!!!!!
Want to spoil the plot for yourself? Listen to whatever Eliana Targaryen says “im scared of the rats” ,”what if he doesn’t want to be king”

@@hikarimizuo9709you might have to click play multiple times cs there are ads but it’s been working for me. they also have the boys s4 and a bunch of new movies that just came out. the only downside about new movies is that they are usually video cam instead of hd for a couple months.
Man, they really instilled that Homelander energy on Ser Criston. Although he didn't do anything yet, I always brace for him to do something unhinged at any moment lol

Hello not a single guard in the whole royal court??? Door locks??? During a war????🤦♂️
Right. They just let Anyone in. , and no guard for the queen and her kids. ESP the heir
They could have killed Aegon 🐀
It didn’t play out good. The last 10 mins just didn’t work.

@@giocondatovar2023right !!!!
Missed the smith Hugh with white hair being a possible dragon seed
What is a dragon seed?
@marianaree9967 someone with Valyrian blood. For example, a bastard is a “dragon seed.” All of Aegon’s bastards in the fighting pits are dragon seeds bc they have Valyrian blood. They aren’t part of the royal family but they could have the ability to bond with a dragon bc of their blood.
@@melanatedqueen6662
A dragonseed isn't necessarily a Valyrian bastard. Aegon's bastard in the fighting pits isn't a dragon seed. A dragon seed is a name for a group of dragon riders that claimed the wild/unclaimed dragons on Dragonstone during the Dance of the Dragons. The dragon seeds are Valyrian bastards but not all Valyrian bastards are dragon seeds.
What a great start!!! I have a feeling that the peak of this season will be when we find out why Doug was barred from France. Can’t wait!!!!!
Great video. Subscribed. Looking at your merch as well.
this summary was epic! thank you
I loved it! It was awesome! Want to see more!
I really enjoy your fun breakdowns and comic inserts, thanks
just what i needed thank u for the grind lol
I'm actually quite disappointed with how they handled Blood & Cheese in this episode. With The Red Wedding, the showrunners actually made it even more brutal than it was in the books. This time they watered it WAY TF down.
Yeah I agree. I was hoping it would be more accurate to the books.
Sorry we disappointed your bloodthirst, go watch an installment of Saw.
@@jkbzz "We"? Are you pretending to be involved in the making of this show?

Fire episode!!!
The death of the child was so much more brutal and cruel in the book. They make the mother choose between the two kids while they are fully awake. They end up killing the opposite child of the one that she chose. They whisper in the ear of the other child “see boy your mother wants you dead”
First episode was great. Thanks for the recap. TeamSmallfolk!
Well made video!!!! Keep up the fantastic work!!!!
Te amo screencrush😭😭 todas las series que veo tu me las explicas 🙏
3:53 that photo is actually of jaehaerys and vermithor. Its from the book blood and fire, highly recommend
Your Game of Thrones and House of the Dragons breakdowns are the best!!!
@ScreenCrush You missed the glimpse of the man with his dog walking across the door, during the hearing sessions of King Aegon.
thank you screencrush! at it again with quality content.
Is it just me or does Syrax seem smaller? Over a decade has gone by and Syrax has not grown at all?
Alicent is a weirdo, she gets so upset about what Rhanera does with her 🍪, turns around and screws her bff's dad, has rival children and goes after Rhanera's sloppy seconds Criston the Psycho
She was so disgusted with rhanera making out with her uncle then marries her kids to each other. Like wtf lol
Why'd the guy kick his dog? Glad I waited up to go to bed with a babymurder plot line. ugh.

He also accepted dishonor to protect Jon claim he betrayed Cat and fathered a bastard.
You sweet summer child.
There was no man as honourable than Ned Stark in the seven kingdoms.
love your stuff and the whole screencrush gang!! Just wanna say I think at the end Cheese isn't looking at a tapestry of Harrenhal, it looks like a drawing Aemond did on his wall using Vhaegar to set Dragonstone ablaze. 😮

“Blood and Cheese”- *_BRUTAL_*
I was dissapointed, they toned it down. They should followed the book, it's more brutal and shocking.
@@scaryghost5721I agree.
@@scaryghost5721 Yeah, but, it would immediately ruin Helaena as a likable character, I don’t think they wanted her to choose which child must die, and then, well, you know…. Im sure the trauma-overload comes later in the season!
@@scaryghost5721the book was told by a jester. It's not what actually happened. This seems more realistic compared to what was said in the book. But they didn't show the scene but left the sound of sawing in.
@@scaryghost5721 No, it was brutal enough. They should have toned it down and turned the camera away. And no need to hear sounds. We got the picture, lol.
Also when Helaena says “the rats” she looks directly at her sons crib
This breakdown is almost as long as the episode!
Always gotta check in after an episode, you got all the angles covered
I loved the changes they make to the series from the book , like aemond didnt actually want to kill lucerys , and that cheese and blood wasnt as bad as the book told , it shows that history and books tend to change things as time goes
When Aegon is in the throne room the rat catcher walks by in the distance way back in the entryway. Very cool foreshadowing!
How tf does he make these videos so fast
Early access to episodes for publicity
My mind is blown
HBO probably lets them watch first. Like how some other breakdown channels features creators on these.
Nine minutes to explain the opening credits…
😂😂 another 9 for the closing
Got be a 👎 on the blood and cheese plot
Yeah I felt it was a bit weak
Loved episode 1!!! Man, this season is gonna be good.
this is peak screencrush
If the episode is making me weep within the first ten minutes, it's on a whole other level.
GREAT EPISODE🎉
I also thought it was cool that in the opening scene when the voiceover is talking about "Duty and Service". The raven is flying over the same spot as the first episode of GoT where Ned beheads the deserter and teachs Bran about his duty as Lord of Winterfell
@16:52
They're showing Aegon as being more favourable towards the small folk since they are the only people who showed him respect so far (on the day of his coronation), but less favourable towards the Lords or his family, since they've never shown him any respect.
It's a good move
Pentos didn't have the dragon eggs. It was the sealord of Braavos. Alyssa Farman sold him the eggs in order to buy her own ship
Just saying Anyone notice the smiths name was hugh and his hair was Snow White so book readers know what that means
What does it mean

UMM THAT WAS A BIG MISSED DETAIL
Except he should be on Dragonstone not KL...
My favorite part of game of thrones was the Knight's watch, the walkers. It was so cool when he was describing how the dragons won't even cross the wall it gives you the chills how feared the walkers are.
The Blood and Cheese scene was BRUTAL. I love this world and this show! It's so good to be back. 😍
Brutal??? LOL not even close to how BRUTAL they were in the book. This was disappointing.
@914gwen lol k. You didn’t understand the book bookie. It was re told by a UNRELIABLE narrator who had a tendency to EMBELLISH everything. The truth was somewhere in the middle of Mushroom’s and Archmsester Gyldayn‘s version. That’s what we get on the show. GRRM and Ryan Condal told y’all numerous times this is meant to give a TRUE account of what really went down and Mushroom was messy while the Archmaester was trying to be political and salvage reputations. 💁🏾♀️
@@melanatedqueen6662Oh MY bad. @embrown1442000 The blood and cheese scene in the book almost everyone in the comment section read was far MORE brutal.
Loved it!
Blood ,and cheese was kinda anticlimactic I preferred alicent being there ,and making halaena choose with the kid awake but,I can't say the show didn't wanna get that dark other than that solid start!
I saw the first episode of season 2 of HOUSE OF DRAGON. Intense tragedy, the fire of anger is only the beginning. Can’t wait for episode 2. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐲
Thank you for breaking down the opening because it not only gave us what was being done but the story before it all. Like when you described old Valyria👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I don’t think dragons can “sense” white walkers. They couldn’t fly over the wall because it is a barrier for magical beings/beasts from each side.
Great episode but I didn’t like the fact that they deviated from the book “a son for a son kill” the book was 20 times better 😊
20 times better??? Really?? This blood and cheese sequence was EPIC.. Sorry it didn’t copy the book word for word 🙄
Alicent dismissed the staff that was bathing her because Larys had just told her he'd personally replaced all the house staff. She knew those were HIS spies and of course she felt both ICK and watched at the same time.
great video as always! not sure if you missed this on purpose or not, but one of the guys petitioning Aegon is Hugh the Hammer
I wish they would have at least greyed up Ser Crispin's temples
He and Daemon found the fountain of eternal youth
the puppy is so cute...
How is this up so quickly?
I believe the "public mourning" of the Queens son, when she found the remnants on the beach, was showing "how" she got the "people" to back her. It shows her softer side - which can show great strength in public opinion
Emma D’Arcy is phenomenal. It was the perfect way to start this season… no dialogue/words spoken… only action!.. “I want Aemond Targaryen!”.. Loved it!!!
Nice to see a show bust out with such a great start, this is GOT level writing and it is sooooo sweet.
In the beach scene, Arrax was the son of Syrax- Rhaenyras dragon. Syrax lets out a cry as they are both mourning over the remains
Another masterpiece!
