"cry havok and let slip the dogs of war!" alicent and rhaenyra think they control events, but their respective dogs of war, aemond and daemon, like dragons, cannot be controlled. alicent never intended lucerys to die, nor rhaenyra jaehaerys, but despite themselves, they're now both locked on a path of mutual destruction.
Seeing Rhaenyra, Syrax and Helena mourn over their babies is so gut wrenching also did you notice Helena walked the same path Rhaenyra walked up the stairs while leaving a trail of blood after giving birth. Loved seeing the Young Stark lord 😔
Believe it or not, the Blood and Cheese attack is even more violent in the book. In the book, Daemon sent Blood and Cheese to kill one of Aegon's sons as retribution for what happened to Luke. When Blood and Cheese have Heleana and her children hostage, they force her to choose which of her sons she would sacrifice. When she begs them to kill her instead, they refuse and tell her that if she doesn't decide, they would kill all 3 of her children anyway. Feeling no choice, she named her younger son, Maelor. Instead, they kill Jaehaerys, but not before gloating to Maelor of how his mother chose him for death.
@@LifeisANovel A lot of people don't read. Don't assume everyone read Fire and Blood. The GoT franchise is a worldwide phenomenon, with many people who have only watched the TV series.
Keep in mind, that was syrax' baby as well :( They were both mourning their child. Also Helena was literally sewing in Jaeherys shroud for his funeral WHILE telling aegon she is scared of the rats. I guess we need to realize she is a big source of information for whatever is to come in the episode's future lmao. Also it is best they don't kill Vhagar to get to aemond because tbh vhagar is like a relic to the Targaryen house basically lmao.
20:30 "Kings don't fight wars" Not all Kings but some actually fought in wars personally on the battlefield. Including Generals & other high ranking military officers. In other words, we’ve evolved on how we fight. It’s to work/fight smart, not hard. To understand my point & to learn these things requires some insight. Other than just the media & Hollywood shows, etc. So pls. readers, bear patience, this is long but I assure you, THIS WILL NOT TAKE MORE THAN 10 or 15MINS OF YOUR TIME. I'm SIMPLIFYING this in the best way possible. THIS IS NOT ANOTHER LANGUAGE. If any of you have that much time to spare for videos, it wouldn't hurt to do SIMPLE BASIC READING that you've done your whole life. Not forcing anyone here, not violating any UA-cam Policy, just here to SHARE MY THOUGHTS/KNOWLEDGE on this. Yes, I've READ MANY LONG COMMENTS that don't take more than 10 or 15mins. Try using your phone and put a timer or stopwatch on and see how long it took you to read if you don't believe me... Anyways, no disrespect intended here and all things I will say, it's just how I say things. I’m expressing it in a calm manner. You’re probably just imagining how it sounds as if someone you hate or some adults yelling at you. Again, not my intention after reading this. Thank you! A friend of mine, emailed me his case in regards to why High Ranking Military Leaders/Officers in today’s world don’t personally fight on the battlefield versus those who did back then with their men. “In classical Western history, Hannibal was the last commander to do so. A big problem is that doing that risks losing your commander, which then tends to end the battle (if not the entire war) in defeat. See the Norman Conquest - when Harold was killed at Hastings, their success was all but guaranteed. Even at the tactical level, I was trained (by US Marines who taught “military” disciplines to sailors) that a LEADER should NOT be fighting: a leader should be observing, thinking and giving orders. In a large battle, often things are very confusing. Against a well organized peer enemy with enough forces to put up a good fight, often the best a general can do is either decide when (and perhaps where) to commit his reserves, or when to give up the fight and retreat to preserve his forces from being routed. Contrary to a lot of assumptions about modern warfare, skilled Western troops ARE taught to retreat, it is not entirely about dishing it out in a one sided contest. We have had an easy time for a long time in high tech warfare - but it is unclear we can dominate it against a peer. [A DoD review finds we may well lose against a peer opponent] I remember suspending air operations because we lost every tactical action we engaged in. I participated in a naval battle you never heard of directly which was a strategic defeat: you DID hear about the Army “incursion into Cambodia” to block enemy supply lines - but no one told you it was because the Navy FAILED to cut those lines by sea. We suffered another STRATEGIC naval defeat at the hands of Iraq in the “first” Gulf War - to its mine warfare campaign. [Saddam executed every service chief except the Navy one - since he had done his job successfully, preventing the Marines from coming in along the coast] A famous consultant and simulations expert thinks 1945 vintage Japanese propeller plans could deliver ordnance against our ships today. I - a Navy air defense specialist - think he might be right. Things can go very wrong - and the boss of a fight needs to be somewhere he can get good information and figure out what it means as soon as possible. The idea of the boss going in with the troops is close to idiotic - too counterproductive to contemplate seriously.” You have Lieutenants, Captains, Majors, etc. to lead as frontline commanders on the battlefield for those reasons. Any given battle you are at, as a General, means you’re not at others. The General’s responsibility is to command and control and understand. And you do that WHERE you can command and control and understand. And that isn’t in a foxhole where you’re ducking every 3 seconds. It’s in a tent with a generator, and a big map, and a lots of radios. It’s behind the lines, where you can get access to everything you need, and connect to everyone, and not get your fool ass killed by a stray mortar round, or make a bad choice because you’re off your tits on adrenaline, and having to deal with highly abstract and long term issues. You have frontline officers to act as your eyes and nerves, but the brain doesn’t reside in the arms, it resides in the head, where everything comes together. Time was, technology was so primitive that you had to see things with your own two eyes. When sending a command meant poking the musician beside you to play the right notes, or sending a guy on a horse with a note. But now we have radios, and telegraph lines, and artillery firing on targets they can’t even see, and you can’t perceive everything that’s going on from one tiny little section of the front. When armies stood toe to toe with spears and bows and arrows, and the battle was small enough that you could see the whole thing from the battlefield, this made sense. A General in the middle of a battle was good for morale because it meant that the general didn’t expect to lose. They could rally the troops and see first hand what was going on and give orders in real time. A General that didn’t stand with his troops was afraid of losing. This was bad for morale. Today, a General on the front lines is simply out of touch with his/her command post and must worry about staying alive rather than doing his/her job. You can’t see anything important on the front lines because the troops are spread out. A General has to rely solely on intel (intelligence/information). A General wounded or killed is a major distraction for his/her command and this is potentially catastrophic. Far more people can die because the command has been disrupted. A General behind the lines and out of immediate danger is an effective General.
@@valentinarostas709 why would she go into battle with no battle experience? you people act like she is the first monarch to not go to war. Aegon probably should have done the same thing and let his men fight for him since he got fucked up so bad the nigga can’t even walk
@@valentinarostas709 should’ve let his men fight for him just like rhaenyra did so would have his 2 legs. you people act like nyra is the first monarch to not fight a war and why would she go to war with no battle experience?
Lmao good this this is fictional. Because God y'all be sounding dumb choosing sides. I got two parents who sheriff's and my mother always tell me court stories. U don't know how u act till it happens to you. Her son killed "will defend aegon actions" lmfao. Sure you do something if your son was kill or relative. Basically saying you'll defend a serial rapist. While we decent the incest of targaryen. And this is different from the books.
Aegon doesnt want to be a good king... he just wants to be liked and take the easy way with the least amount of friction which means saying yes to everything basically
What’s mad is it’s completely Rhaenyra and Allicents faults. Their kids formative years were spent in not the most bloody, but the most aggressive, antagonistic period of their relationship, so for them, it’s beef on sight, always has been always will be, because they had that same energy.
28:30 🧐,only saints and priests or people who are aloof of materialism will do that🙄. Imo, on the other hand, I never consider Daemon's most actions to be personal, and this wasn't either. He just wants the greens to suffer by any means. Before them he just used to ensue chaos. He will always be the Rogue Prince.
How do so many people miss that she says "im worried about the rats" and then they show MULTIPLE times the Rat Catcher in scenes before Daemon even meets him
Eff bygones be bygones. To simply just forgive the murder of an innocent is weak. I don't disagree that Daemon shouldn't have gone about it in the way that he did, but blood had to be exacted for blood. Would have been better, and more appropriate, to just kill Aemond.
What surprises me more is how people forget how hypocritical Alyson Hightower is. When her eldest Aemond got his eye gauged, she quickly called for Rhaenyra's son's eye as payback (an eye for an eye literally). But when her son ends up killing one of her children she doesn't hold the same regard (a son for a son) and quickly tries apologize for her son's actions on her behalf rather than her son being the one to apologies. These are some of many examples of why her son is slowly growing distant from her, especially their grandfather. I am not going to lie I feel bad for Rhaenyra bc when she walked up to that table all she said "I want Aemond" and Daemon tried to fulfill her wish but sent the worst idiots to accomplish it.
Aegon saying his dragon are bigger makes no sense when in reality it’s only Vhagar… Dreamfyre is also very large but Helaena is well Helaena so it’s only Vhagar and Sunfyre. And if Daeron Alicent and Viserys youngest son who hasn’t appeared yet or may not exist turns up he has a younger dragon so there only advantage dragon wise is Vhagar
Syrax was literally described as being one of the larger dragons of the dance in the book. In the show she hasn’t even grown in a quarter of a century. What a shame💀
@@warhammer101 I mean she did get larger this season but she’s not as large as she should be. The older dragons sizes are not accurate to the book like meleys and Caraxes and Vhagar there is no way a horse could ride down Vhagars gullet in the show it’s such a shame
@@maninform3523 what… “to invested” I read the book and know that what Aegon is saying is just false tb dragons are bigger except for Vhagar and I ain’t even a Woman
That blacksmith seemed kind of young to have hair as white as that, didn't he?? Anyway, Cregan only said that while it's winter he can't spare men.. but spring always comes.
27:08 I might just be slow but Helena points to the girl right? But then the big guy says she’s choosing the wrong one on purpose To which the little guy says she’s speaking true But then they grab the other child (the actual boy” But if the little guy said she’s speaking true wouldn’t they have grabbed the one she pointed to in the first place? 🤔 idk 😂

Aegon is no where near as bad as Joffrey he’s actually pretty chill
Well Joffrey never r@ped anyone so 💁🏾
Just don’t be a teenager girl…or literally just any female bc the chances of you getting sexually assaulted are HIGH😬😬
Then you must've forgotten what he did to one of his servants last season(among others I suspect).
"Pretty chiill" is not the word I would use to describe that THING.
oh yeaaah.. he's so chill after traumatizing like multiple girls...
