Hello all from an old Warrior. I am real basis for Dean of Supernatural & Real War Doctor of DR WHO. I am MI-6 Special Branch Canada '00' pensioned. View mi channel for more information. I have waged war on nazis, war criminals, pedophiles, serial killers, subversives, in'l assassins, slavers.
If Cristoy wouldn't have distracted them, Daemon for sure would have fulfilled her wish and the King's Guard would have less members before they'd have escaped to Dragonstone.
Yeah, even though we didn't spend much time with Laenor and Joffrey was kinda stupid, I still felt so sad seeing his reaction. The music really helped too.
To be fair to Otto - he really didn't seem to think it would be THAT hard to convince the king to make his son an heir. Plus, he already offered a compromise - albeit a very gross one.
Yeah Otto thought it would be pretty straight forward that Viserys would make his son heir, then he offered for them to marry which was normal for Targaryens but it wouldn’t make sense because they’d have to wait another 12 years or so before Rhaenyra could start trying to produce heirs, then he tried to spread the rumour that Rhaenyra lost her Maidenhead. He had contingency plans they all just backfired.
@@EverythingInTheFrame I don't even think that all those moves were explicit contingencies - just Otto desperately trying to set inheritance straight and avoid the succession war.
@@textortexel8301 set Inheritance yes, avoid the war definitely not. Or if he truly thinks Rhaenyra would take such an event laying down he absolutely fooled himself. Only way the war would start is with the continued whisperings of "well what about Aegon...." (Book reader here but framing it as non spoilery as I can just in case)
@@ObligedUniform I mean, it's the question of what she can do, not what she thinks. Rhaenyra isn't exactly great at making friends and securing allies. Why would anyone back her over a rightful heir?
Alicent walking in with the green dress was such a power move statement, it always feels more impactful when a character can convey what they want to convey without using words. Also I just want to note that Daemon has such "sup, fuckers!" energy when he walks into a room, you know what I mean?🤣
That wedding sequence was fantastic. So many players in one room all exchanging looks with double meanings. In typical "Game of Thrones" wedding traditions you expect something terrible to happen and Ser Criston Cole sure provided it. Also, it's hilarious how we're all still traumatized by the Red Wedding. I don't think we'll ever get over it!
Considering all the movies/shows I’ve seen the red wedding was completely unexpected and narratively traumatic for me Then anger quickly followed I guess I had too much hope for Rob Stark’s reign
I'm surprised no reactor commented on the amazing music, Velaryon theme, Alicent entrance... The dance and wedding theme.... Beautiful work by Ramin Djawadi
They might not, but some of us definitely did pay attention to that. Some parts reminded me of 'Light of the Seven'. I was so glad to hear Djawadi bring back some piano. :)
You guys are way overestimating how much logical thinking Criston does this episode. After what happened last week he feels ashamed, afraid and guilty and his only solution to not feel like shit is to run away with Rhaenyra. When she then rejects him his emotional state is so bad, and he feels so alone and awful. Then Joffrey talks like that to him, and he just snaps. Its not some calculated move, he is acting on pure emotion.
@@Baldinapper I do hope that they take the direction that the character has, in the books, because if they do, it's gonna be very interesting, he'd be like the most powerful man in the seven kingdoms, at least for a little while.
He also is not highborn not really educated in the arts of politics so he's very emotionally driven and his morales are built around the concept of "honour"
I'm so glad you guys pointed out the tone of Rhaenyra's challenge to Daemon because, yeah, I think that is exactly how she meant it! I think she knew Daemon wasn't really gonna do something like that and it kinda ticked her off that he wasn't. Plus, I think the idea of Daemon giving her a hard time for marrying someone else when he was the one who had ditched her in the middle of their make-out session was just infuriating to her (we can assume this was the first time they've spoken since that happened). Rhaenyra is basically asking Daemon: why is he even here? If he really wants her, he should actually commit and do something about it, not just come to her wedding to act jealous and play mind games.
Bronze is a symbol of First Men ancestry, House Royce are very proud of that fact since they are from the south and like to show of their bronze rune armor.
they had two valyrian steel swords. One was taken by House Corbray and their second sword was Lamentation, which went missing at some point by the time of Game of Thrones.
It was a great scene but a dumb move by Alicent. She's lucky Viserys is pretty soft. Open rebellion in front of the King and his audience? Many kings would have had her beaten or killed for that. If Tywin Lannister was in power, he would already be writing up a plan to have her and her house killed. You always stomp out the embers of a fire before it gains fuel and grows.
Ser Criston is a fighter, a soldier. He’s not familiar with the way of politics, duties, secrets and lies. I can see why he can succumb to his emotions, everything he’s feeling and experiencing is new to him. Also we saw how easily he can get caught up with his feelings. Yes Rhaenyra pushed him, but he likes her too which made it easy for him to break his vows and catch actual love for the princess.
Anyone notice the way Daemon was just holding his hand near the horse. I think he knew the horse would be terrified because of the smell of dragon and would go berserk.
Surprised I haven’t seen anyone bring up that Viserys’ insistence on keeping the Targaryen name for the sitting monarch has to do with the prophecy-dagger.
@@koki84ji7 no he was already Breakbones. Mushroom in particular started calling him Brokenbones after Cole bashes him up in the same tourney he kills Joffrey Lonmouth in.
I believe there were several factors that led to Criston beating Joffrey to death: 1) he knew Criston's secret shame 2) he was frustrated by Rhaenyra rejecting his proposal that they run away together, which made him feel that she didn't truly love him, as he loved her 3) he is probably homophobic, and feels that Laenor having a make lover is shameful and wrong 4) he probably feels it would be wrong for the Queen's consort to be having someone on the side, even with her knowledge and consent 5) he also feels it's wrong for her to have someone in the side, too, whether it's him or someone else 6) he despises Joffrey's assumption that he's okay with such an arrangement between the 4 of them, and that he takes it so lightly There may be other reasons too, ask coming to the boiling point and making Criston explode. He can't attack the future Queen, or her future King Consort, but it would be more acceptable for him to attack Joffrey, so he did.
Fun fact, the man who plays Larys Strong (the limping guy), is an actor named Matthew Needham who was the lead in a heartfelt short called 'Stutterer' that won an Oscar.
Wow, if I had a nickel for every time a Joffrey died at a wedding feast in Westeros; I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.”
Ep2 Laena was 12 and that was when Daemon was on Dragonstone. In the last ep Rhaenyra said she hadn’t seen Daemon in 4 yrs and this ep take a yr or a few months after that so she is around 16/17 maybe even 18
Yeah the time jumps are why I'm not watching the normies reaction until the big jumps are over. Because I enjoy their reactions too (mostly), but I think I'd pull my hair out with constant things like that, over there as a result of it.
I thought that was funny. I'm curious to see if they'll be of the same opinion moving forward or if they'll be in different camps. ;) We need some conflict at the BW table too!
You guys using the phrase liking Duck instead of Goose is so funny, yall made me burst into a laughing coughing fit with Aaron said, "Is that the Duck?". XD
I don't know if you were watching the episode or not, but it's not their phrase it's Rhaenyra's. It's what she says to Laenor as they are walking on the beach. She says to him that she doesn't care if he likes goose or duck as long as they do their duty to have an heir, she's okay with it.
High tide is an actual castle in the UK called St Michaels mount. It's in Cornwall and is only accessible by foot when it's low tide as the path is blocked during high tide. It has a sister castle in France of the same name but in French. I live in the village on the shore of this castle 😁
It's amazing how so many people are very sympathetic to that dumb salad and don't seem sympathetic at all to the poor dude he bludgeoned to death with his bare hands.
The ending montage was my favorite scene of the series so far. Give me the aesthetics of the red hue of the weirdwood tree glowing in twilight, give me the flickering lights, give me the gloomy ambience of a GoT wedding with a equally gloomy soundtrack & it’s A1! The slightly overlooked heartfelt exchange Otto & Alicent had at the beginning was the most significant moment of the episode imo, other than Viserys dropping. Otto is right. You either hope for Rhaenyra’s mercy in the future or you act now. It's the Tywin Jaime "we can establish a dynasty that last a thousand years" moment. The wedding sets up the first chess pieces for Dance of Dragons. Rhaenyra and Laenor were being told their wedding vows, but it was Alicent and Criston who were getting ‘married’.
The song that played when Alicent entered the wedding feast felt very ominous and reminded me of "Light of the Seven", the song that played when Cersei blew up the High Septon.
I love Emily's acting in that scene with Ser Criston. You see Alicent's expression go through so many changes. Shock at Criston's revelation, relief that Rhaenyra hadn't truly slept with Daemon, but then also anger and betrayal that she'd lied to her that she was still a maiden, and that perhaps Viserys had been privy to that lie and chosen not to share it. That her father may have been dismissed for speaking truth to power, even if he didn't have all of the facts.
Really making her feel like an outsider even though she's his wife. Viserys constantly refers to their children as hers like she stole his semen or something. I feel so much for Alicent.
I’m still trying to figure out why she needed to know she didn’t she’s not Rhaenyra’s mother and Otto did get it wrong she didn’t sleep with Daemon along with everything he has done including sending his daughter to “spend time” with the King he deserved to be fired
@@dipsydoodle2728 I think it was trying to get to the bottom of the situation and get some clarity on whether her father was unjustly dismissed. And also after her chat with Otto as he was leaving and the chat with Larys Strong in the garden she might be a little paranoid and trying to find out just how much she can trust Rhaenyra. That's my take on it anyway
@@dipsydoodle2728 Well, clearly she needed clarity because of Larys Strong's scheming. She would understand that Moon Tea is a Plan B/morning-after pill type of contraceptive, so his comment suggests that she may very well have had intercourse. Up until Cole's confession, she had no reason to suspect anyone other than Daemon having taken Rhaenyra's maidenhead. If that was the case, firstly Alicent is clearly not comfortable with the Targaryen custom of incestuous relationships (understandable). And if that all proved to be true, it would prove that her father had been dismissed on a lie. I'm not sure Alicent would have been quite so disgusted by it if she'd thought Rhaenyra had slept with Ser Criston from the start, but her friend also declined the opportunity to share that information with her. In essence, she was lied to. That could either suggest that Rhaenyra is not trustworthy (something she refused to believe, even when her father suggested it, but is now forced to consider may be true), or that Rhaenyra at the very least no longer trusts Alicent's confidence. It's a precarious situation, all brought on by the manipulation of others (Daemon, Mysaria, Otto, and Larys).
@@benjammin9471 Definitely. Rhaenyra lied to her face when all Alicent wanted was the truth. On top of that, Rhaenyra got her father fired. Alicent is realizing she is truly alone in King's Landing. She can't rely on her husband or her once best friend. She has to work alone to protect herself and her children now.
When Ser Criston confessed to Alicent, I was definitely having the same reaction as you guys. I was like “YOU FOOL!!! She wasn’t talking about you!” 🤦♂️
Funny coincidence: in the episode of "The Crown" where Elizabeth & Phillip discuss what the surname will be for the heirs, Matt Smith (Prince Daemon) played Phillip.
I hope, now, that Ser Criston is going in the direction of his book counterpart, because if so, that's gonna be very interesting and he's gonna have great influence over, almost everything
Best example of Viserys' weakness is how quickly he just allowed Daemon back in, their last interaction was literally him banishing Daemon and when he just strolls in, Viserys immediately caves rather than have a confrontation
I think he just didn’t want to cause a huge scene publicly when the occasion was about his daughter. Also, Viserys is in rapid decline and probably wasn’t up to withstanding a battle of wills with Daemon, who is incredibly obstinate, and prone to acting out and flailing about for attention.
@@temptationofmemories you're right, but he's the king and literally so many of the lords of the realm are there. It's public knowledge he's exiled daemon numerous times and daemon just ignores it and Viserys never commits to a punishment. Then immediately after, he's interrupted by Allicents (admittedly cool) arrival. He's just publicly showing his internal weakness as king, the same way he's no longer able to hide his physical weaknesses.
@@temptationofmemories Deep in his heart Viserys knows that Daemon is one of the two only people who acutally care for him and wouldn't betray him as his hand.
For Criston and Joffrey to have started fighting, this means they had to have been together in the first place at the back of the room near the steps. We were all focused on the King worried about Daemon being so close to Rhaenyra on the dance floor, but surely others were looking (and commenting). I bet Joffrey made some snide remark to Ser Cole along the lines of, "Looks like those rumors might be true after all. Do you worry about your competition for her heart? You don't have a dragon or a castle, after all." Given Criston's emotional state, that could have easily set him off, and had already told the Queen he was ready to die for his "sins" (his word).
House Strong is from the Riverlands (not the Stormlands) and are bannermen to the Tully's. They were made lords of Harrenhall by king Jaehaerys I. House Royce wear bronze armor as they descend from the first men. The first men were in the bronze age and fought with bronze weapons when the Andals came to Westeros with their iron and steel. House Royce is one of the houses that managed to hold on, win many battles under king Robar Royce and actually drive the Andals out of the Vale. It wasn't until the Falcon knight (Artys Arryn) lead the Andals that they were finally beaten and thereafter swore allegiance to house Arryn.
This episode is the villain Cole origin story lol Also how cool sir Harvin Strong is? When he was abt to save Rhaenyra he just went thru the crowd punching people like it's nothing 💪😎🤣 He doesn't give a f ( I mean he's the Gold Cloak- Damons man.. so this explains a lot 😏😂)
But there is one thing that keeps bothering me..... If Harvin and Larys have a good relationship with one another how come Larys ending up serving the Green as their master of whispering. Larys even told others about his brother's affair.... The thing he should have been keeping as a secret.
@@nyma4287 Show is making some characters more sympathetic than in the books like Alicent who is clearly bad in the books but the show is making her sympathetic. They’re doing the same with Criston. And no, Rhaenyra is 100% a villain in the books. Straight up murders innocent children
It's taken me months of watching your videos but I have finally remembered all of your names! Let us rejoice! Also, thank you for always introducing yourselves at the start.
I don't understand how Ser Criston Cole, who just beat a man to death in clear view of everyone at a wedding reception is not arested imdediately, yet he's alone, armed and ready to commit suicide afterwards.
I didn’t come to watch this show for the dragons. I’m watching this show cos of the politics writing drama and dialogue. Basically same reasons as game of thrones
@@junko4166 Most intelligent people would understand that as "the help" you're NEVER going to marry the Princess and future Queen and would just enjoy the ride.
Ser Joffery was supposed to keep his mouth shut. He was to keep that knowledge to himself and keep it moving. Ser Joffery walked into that death thinking he had the high ground.
Alicent’s entrance was very important here. She came in purposefully wearing the color green. The color of house Hightower. She's officially chosen a side, and this scene was akin to her calling her banner-men to arms. Up until now, she’s been wearing black and red. The colors of house Targaryen. From this point on, she will continue to wear only green. You’ll also see that Rhaenyra will only wear black and red.
they actually aged up Rhaenyra to 15 in the first episode, not 12. They aged down Alicent to 15 as well so they had a closer bond. So after the 2 year jump she is 17 and in episodes 4 and 5 she's 18/19 it's not fully clear. (in the first episode Viserys mentions she's fifteen and in the third he mentions she's 7 and 10 which is 17 ofc)
Loved this reaction! Aaron had me laughing a lot! And I'm loving the show... the music during the feast and especially during the dancing was so good!! And the costumes, the acting... great stuff!
I’m still team rhaenyra. I’ll do the same and get Otto out asap since he’s clearly sneaky and want his family to have power. As soon as I found out he had people following the Princess it was wraps. Also i liked criston at first but did he really believe she would give everything up. He also didn’t need to do what he did to laenor true lover
Honestly this episode made me dislike Criston quite a bit, I get that he had feelings for Rhaenyra but how could he expect her to give up everything she had ever known to marry him? Also the way he immediately turned on her after getting rejected by telling Alicent about their "sin" and later killing Joffrey and ruining Laenor's and Rhaenyra's marriage, I don't think you would do that to someone you love. He gives me very much nice guy vibes. I felt horrible for Laenor when he was crying for Joffrey in front of everyone :(
I just want to say. Chiston Cole is not really a bad guy because he killed Joffery. Rhaenya ruined his life. She indirectly forced him to have sex with her. Allowing for all of this to unfold like it did. If she just had got herself off none of this would come to be like it did. I feel like people are just brushing over that fact because shes likable, badass, and a cute girl. If she just left with him than they could be together. He is screwed either way. As soon as Rhaenya wanted to have sex with him his life was pretty much forfeited. No matter what now his life and family name that he worked so hard to better has all been tarnished because he slept with Rhaenya. He had to kill Joffery otherwise he could tell someone else and he could hold it against him. Even through I don't think Cole wanted to kill him straight away. He snapped and just let all his anger out but Joffery was also pretty much just blackmailing him. Now with him wanting to kill himself after the fact is because he had completely gone against the vow he took. Cole told Alicent because he is still a Knight and still believed and trusted in his vow. He has to serve the Queen. He thought she knew that he had slept with Rhaenya when Alicent was talking and thinking about Daemon and Rhaenya. If you rewatch the clip of Rhaenya and Cole having sex. You can clearly see that Cole didn't want it to happen. He kind of just stood there, contemplating on what he should do. He is screwed either way. Even if he pulled away and left. She would have him fired at some point and their relationship would be awkward to carry on. Alicent is the only person who knows of Coles and Rhaenyas relationship. She will use Cole against Rhaenya in the later episodes. I would think. Just by how the show is going and the trailers. Alicent will take Cole as her personal guard and use him. I don't get why people are hating on Cole so far. I get if he does stuff later on. Then you could hate him but in the meantime I don't get the reasoning why.
@@Lowkenn_Edits Rheanyra did use her power to seduce Criston for her own selfish reasons... however Criston is still being a typical "nice guy". You know the guy who loves a girls sooooo much that he will destruct everything when she doesn't act the way he wants her too. The kind who use violence to get what he wants. The type who's love is replaced by so much hate. Criston didn't tell Alicent because he's a knight and honourable he told her because of guilt, not thinking things through, anger and good old fashioned butthurt. Rheanyra used her power to seduce Cole, but she never intentionally hurt him or lashed out to hurt others or him when he rejected her offer of continuing their affair. You can defend the power imbalance without defending Cole's behaviour
@@mumofmany1498 Shortened version of the comment. Either I'm looking too far into this or others are not looking enough. I would assume you are meaning the boat conversation between Cole and Rhaenya when you made this comment " he will destruct everything when she doesn't act the way he wants her to." His life is screwed either way. He might as well offer to leave for Essos to start a new life where they can love each other without duty. Cole is definitely naive to the role Rhaenya plays as the princess to the king. He doesn't know about the Song of Ice and Fire prophecy. The comment Cole made about him being her whore is true. He has to fuck her and try to love her while she sleeps with another man and has future kids with. He has to have a relationship in private so his family name doesn't get tarnished. something he worked his whole life to better from poor to a member of the Kingsguard. So you understand why he would be hateful. He can never have a relationship with Rhaenya because she chooses duty first. If I was him I would be salty too. Also all of this and he can't say no to her demands. Cole thought the word got out between him and Rhaeyna. He outed himself because she wanted the truth from him. He did what the Queen asked him to do. Tell the truth. it was just in fact the wrong truth to tell. Rhaenya was just too young and naive to know that she would hurt him. She thought and still did think that it was fine to have an affair. Not knowing what the other person wants and that it would hurt him.
I'm so glad the poll results aren't shown on screen before they announce them in the video. It's a small detail but it always bothered me in the recent reactions where it became a thing.
The music in this one is so fucking good. It always is, but this one in particular stands out to me. The entire sequence with the green dress is scored phenomenally and I love the bit at the end with the dissonant notes creeping through when Rhaenyra and Laenor still get married at the end even after everything.
Technically Criston Cole might be worse than Daemon at this point. Daemon could at least argue self-defense since Rhea drew on him first. Criston just killed a dude because he was pissed off.
@@ungabunga6699 I still can't take Daemon seriously. Until now, he's still a hilarious character in my eyes. Maybe he'd change that with the next unexpected shit he pulls up. If the Westerosi gods are merciful, Viserys won't be alive to witness another one of his brother's shenanigans

Bronze is a symbol of First Men ancestry, House Royce are very proud of that fact since they are from the south and like to show of their bronze rune armor.
they had two valyrian steel swords. One was taken by House Corbray and their second sword was Lamentation, which went missing at some point by the time of Game of Thrones.
Alicent Hightower ate up this episode & left no crumbs. That scene she enters the throne room gave me chills.
I have watched 3-4 times already. and it still gives me chills.
@@hopy1000 I watched Daemon refusing to stand up for this green witch 10 times and I still laugh about it.
@@iliboxic7586 Daemon doesn't really give a f... about anyone.
It was a great scene but a dumb move by Alicent. She's lucky Viserys is pretty soft. Open rebellion in front of the King and his audience? Many kings would have had her beaten or killed for that. If Tywin Lannister was in power, he would already be writing up a plan to have her and her house killed. You always stomp out the embers of a fire before it gains fuel and grows.
@@iliboxic7586 We will meet on the battle field, ser!
Daemon not standing up while the queen walks through the hallway,while even the king is standing is just!!
Ser Criston is a fighter, a soldier. He’s not familiar with the way of politics, duties, secrets and lies. I can see why he can succumb to his emotions, everything he’s feeling and experiencing is new to him.
Also we saw how easily he can get caught up with his feelings. Yes Rhaenyra pushed him, but he likes her too which made it easy for him to break his vows and catch actual love for the princess.
He's also common-born, so he really doesn't have any experience with this world
Pulling that dagger wasn't smart too. Cole is a fuckin savage
Anyone notice the way Daemon was just holding his hand near the horse. I think he knew the horse would be terrified because of the smell of dragon and would go berserk.
great observation!
Surprised I haven’t seen anyone bring up that Viserys’ insistence on keeping the Targaryen name for the sitting monarch has to do with the prophecy-dagger.
Good catch
Yes, but any king would say the same thing, so no one would think twice about it
I said in the Normies Reaction, I'll say it here:
Killing Joffrey at a wedding was so good, they did it twice.
Wow.. what a zinger..
Harwin Strong barging in like a fucking chad and rescuing the princess, you love to see it
He only needed one nod from his dad
Just to point out ser harwyn strongs nickname is "breakbones" this episode well proved why
Except the name came because he got his bones broken. In the books anyway
@@koki84ji7 brokenbones after Ser Criston Cole destroy him
@@koki84ji7 no he was already Breakbones. Mushroom in particular started calling him Brokenbones after Cole bashes him up in the same tourney he kills Joffrey Lonmouth in.
I believe there were several factors that led to Criston beating Joffrey to death:
1) he knew Criston's secret shame
2) he was frustrated by Rhaenyra rejecting his proposal that they run away together, which made him feel that she didn't truly love him, as he loved her
3) he is probably homophobic, and feels that Laenor having a make lover is shameful and wrong
4) he probably feels it would be wrong for the Queen's consort to be having someone on the side, even with her knowledge and consent
5) he also feels it's wrong for her to have someone in the side, too, whether it's him or someone else
6) he despises Joffrey's assumption that he's okay with such an arrangement between the 4 of them, and that he takes it so lightly
There may be other reasons too, ask coming to the boiling point and making Criston explode. He can't attack the future Queen, or her future King Consort, but it would be more acceptable for him to attack Joffrey, so he did.
Fun fact, the man who plays Larys Strong (the limping guy), is an actor named Matthew Needham who was the lead in a heartfelt short called 'Stutterer' that won an Oscar.

The guy that plays Ser Harwin Strong is Australian. I'm so happy to see him in a show like this, he is so good in all the Aussie shows he's in.
viserys, literally every episode: somehow daemon has returned
This was a great episode - so many points of tension and something was definitely going to go wrong....we just didn't know from where.
I loved the subtle foreshadowing at the end of this episode for book readers. Can't wait for Blood & Cheese to show up.
Yea, people will be traumatized.
Oh my god, I just got that lmao that is very good, they have been doing some really cool nods to book readers
Man, I missed that. You're right, *great* foreshadowing!
That completely went over my head lol
I felt so bad for Viserys...all he wanted, honestly, was to eat his damn chicken and have a good time....
The “Is that the Duck?” comment made me spew coffee all over my phone. 😂
Aaron made laugh so hard. "*Gasp* Is that the duck?" "And without his land hands!" Had to rewind just to laugh harder.
Ep2 Laena was 12 and that was when Daemon was on Dragonstone. In the last ep Rhaenyra said she hadn’t seen Daemon in 4 yrs and this ep take a yr or a few months after that so she is around 16/17 maybe even 18
You would think he would know this since he literally writes everything down
Yeah the time jumps are why I'm not watching the normies reaction until the big jumps are over.
Because I enjoy their reactions too (mostly), but I think I'd pull my hair out with constant things like that, over there as a result of it.
I think she's 16. she was three years younger than rhaenyra and i believe rhaenyra is now 19.
According to my careful research(cause I don't want spoilers), house Strong are from the Riverlands, their seat of power being Harrenhal.
correct. Lyonel is the current Lord. They are I believe the fourth house to rule Harrenhal in the 115 years since its construction
Apparently Rick and Calvin have already chosen a side in the fighting to come.
green or black?
I thought that was funny. I'm curious to see if they'll be of the same opinion moving forward or if they'll be in different camps. ;) We need some conflict at the BW table too!
You guys using the phrase liking Duck instead of Goose is so funny, yall made me burst into a laughing coughing fit with Aaron said, "Is that the Duck?". XD
I don't know if you were watching the episode or not, but it's not their phrase it's Rhaenyra's. It's what she says to Laenor as they are walking on the beach. She says to him that she doesn't care if he likes goose or duck as long as they do their duty to have an heir, she's okay with it.
Alicent walking into the throne room was 👌👌🔥🔥
Daemon not standing up for this green witch was epic.
@@iliboxic7586 lmfao green witch 😭💀
She ended up killing his sons
Where was Daemon once the fighting started? We saw Rhaenyra get knocked over and no one moved to protect her until the Hand told his son to get her
High tide is an actual castle in the UK called St Michaels mount. It's in Cornwall and is only accessible by foot when it's low tide as the path is blocked during high tide. It has a sister castle in France of the same name but in French. I live in the village on the shore of this castle 😁

So happy you are able to upload again, I've been looking forward to your reaction for this one!
The ending montage was my favorite scene of the series so far. Give me the aesthetics of the red hue of the weirdwood tree glowing in twilight, give me the flickering lights, give me the gloomy ambience of a GoT wedding with a equally gloomy soundtrack & it’s A1! The slightly overlooked heartfelt exchange Otto & Alicent had at the beginning was the most significant moment of the episode imo, other than Viserys dropping. Otto is right. You either hope for Rhaenyra’s mercy in the future or you act now. It's the Tywin Jaime "we can establish a dynasty that last a thousand years" moment. The wedding sets up the first chess pieces for Dance of Dragons. Rhaenyra and Laenor were being told their wedding vows, but it was Alicent and Criston who were getting ‘married’.
The song that played when Alicent entered the wedding feast felt very ominous and reminded me of "Light of the Seven", the song that played when Cersei blew up the High Septon.
Indeed.
I love Emily's acting in that scene with Ser Criston. You see Alicent's expression go through so many changes. Shock at Criston's revelation, relief that Rhaenyra hadn't truly slept with Daemon, but then also anger and betrayal that she'd lied to her that she was still a maiden, and that perhaps Viserys had been privy to that lie and chosen not to share it. That her father may have been dismissed for speaking truth to power, even if he didn't have all of the facts.
Really making her feel like an outsider even though she's his wife. Viserys constantly refers to their children as hers like she stole his semen or something. I feel so much for Alicent.
I’m still trying to figure out why she needed to know she didn’t she’s not Rhaenyra’s mother and Otto did get it wrong she didn’t sleep with Daemon along with everything he has done including sending his daughter to “spend time” with the King he deserved to be fired
@@dipsydoodle2728 I think it was trying to get to the bottom of the situation and get some clarity on whether her father was unjustly dismissed. And also after her chat with Otto as he was leaving and the chat with Larys Strong in the garden she might be a little paranoid and trying to find out just how much she can trust Rhaenyra. That's my take on it anyway
@@dipsydoodle2728 Well, clearly she needed clarity because of Larys Strong's scheming. She would understand that Moon Tea is a Plan B/morning-after pill type of contraceptive, so his comment suggests that she may very well have had intercourse. Up until Cole's confession, she had no reason to suspect anyone other than Daemon having taken Rhaenyra's maidenhead. If that was the case, firstly Alicent is clearly not comfortable with the Targaryen custom of incestuous relationships (understandable). And if that all proved to be true, it would prove that her father had been dismissed on a lie. I'm not sure Alicent would have been quite so disgusted by it if she'd thought Rhaenyra had slept with Ser Criston from the start, but her friend also declined the opportunity to share that information with her. In essence, she was lied to. That could either suggest that Rhaenyra is not trustworthy (something she refused to believe, even when her father suggested it, but is now forced to consider may be true), or that Rhaenyra at the very least no longer trusts Alicent's confidence. It's a precarious situation, all brought on by the manipulation of others (Daemon, Mysaria, Otto, and Larys).
@@benjammin9471 Definitely. Rhaenyra lied to her face when all Alicent wanted was the truth. On top of that, Rhaenyra got her father fired. Alicent is realizing she is truly alone in King's Landing. She can't rely on her husband or her once best friend. She has to work alone to protect herself and her children now.
Both Calvin and Rick look so alike here i almost had a spit take 😂
When Ser Criston confessed to Alicent, I was definitely having the same reaction as you guys. I was like “YOU FOOL!!! She wasn’t talking about you!” 🤦♂️
I loved Rick's analogy of Criston being like a puppy who peed on the rug.
Funny coincidence: in the episode of "The Crown" where Elizabeth & Phillip discuss what the surname will be for the heirs, Matt Smith (Prince Daemon) played Phillip.
How can a character with such a presence? Daemon Targaryen, wherever he goes he's the highlight! what character
Lo mismo digo
It helps that he's being played by the awesome Matt Smith.
I hope, now, that Ser Criston is going in the direction of his book counterpart, because if so, that's gonna be very interesting and he's gonna have great influence over, almost everything
holy shit, i was drinking something when Aaron said "oh no the guy who read the book got it right". I nearly died.
The way Viserys was cutting the chicken w/o losing sight of them lol
Best example of Viserys' weakness is how quickly he just allowed Daemon back in, their last interaction was literally him banishing Daemon and when he just strolls in, Viserys immediately caves rather than have a confrontation
I think he just didn’t want to cause a huge scene publicly when the occasion was about his daughter. Also, Viserys is in rapid decline and probably wasn’t up to withstanding a battle of wills with Daemon, who is incredibly obstinate, and prone to acting out and flailing about for attention.
@@temptationofmemories you're right, but he's the king and literally so many of the lords of the realm are there. It's public knowledge he's exiled daemon numerous times and daemon just ignores it and Viserys never commits to a punishment. Then immediately after, he's interrupted by Allicents (admittedly cool) arrival. He's just publicly showing his internal weakness as king, the same way he's no longer able to hide his physical weaknesses.
@@temptationofmemories Deep in his heart Viserys knows that Daemon is one of the two only people who acutally care for him and wouldn't betray him as his hand.
You can actually hear the rain in the background. I love it
For Criston and Joffrey to have started fighting, this means they had to have been together in the first place at the back of the room near the steps. We were all focused on the King worried about Daemon being so close to Rhaenyra on the dance floor, but surely others were looking (and commenting). I bet Joffrey made some snide remark to Ser Cole along the lines of, "Looks like those rumors might be true after all. Do you worry about your competition for her heart? You don't have a dragon or a castle, after all." Given Criston's emotional state, that could have easily set him off, and had already told the Queen he was ready to die for his "sins" (his word).
"Starks aren't good at it at all!"
I really hope we see Cregan Stark. Fuckin badass.
House Strong is from the Riverlands (not the Stormlands) and are bannermen to the Tully's. They were made lords of Harrenhall by king Jaehaerys I.
House Royce wear bronze armor as they descend from the first men. The first men were in the bronze age and fought with bronze weapons when the Andals came to Westeros with their iron and steel. House Royce is one of the houses that managed to hold on, win many battles under king Robar Royce and actually drive the Andals out of the Vale. It wasn't until the Falcon knight (Artys Arryn) lead the Andals that they were finally beaten and thereafter swore allegiance to house Arryn.
This episode is the villain Cole origin story lol
Also how cool sir Harvin Strong is? When he was abt to save Rhaenyra he just went thru the crowd punching people like it's nothing 💪😎🤣 He doesn't give a f ( I mean he's the Gold Cloak- Damons man.. so this explains a lot 😏😂)
But there is one thing that keeps bothering me..... If Harvin and Larys have a good relationship with one another how come Larys ending up serving the Green as their master of whispering. Larys even told others about his brother's affair.... The thing he should have been keeping as a secret.
If you have the nickname "Breakbones" you have to be badass lol

Ser Joffery was supposed to keep his mouth shut. He was to keep that knowledge to himself and keep it moving. Ser Joffery walked into that death thinking he had the high ground.
Well he's not Obi Wan Kenobi...
Alicent’s entrance was very important here. She came in purposefully wearing the color green. The color of house Hightower. She's officially chosen a side, and this scene was akin to her calling her banner-men to arms. Up until now, she’s been wearing black and red. The colors of house Targaryen. From this point on, she will continue to wear only green. You’ll also see that Rhaenyra will only wear black and red.
Aaron "Is that the duck!?" lmao
they actually aged up Rhaenyra to 15 in the first episode, not 12. They aged down Alicent to 15 as well so they had a closer bond. So after the 2 year jump she is 17 and in episodes 4 and 5 she's 18/19 it's not fully clear. (in the first episode Viserys mentions she's fifteen and in the third he mentions she's 7 and 10 which is 17 ofc)
Loved this reaction! Aaron had me laughing a lot! And I'm loving the show... the music during the feast and especially during the dancing was so good!! And the costumes, the acting... great stuff!
I’m still team rhaenyra. I’ll do the same and get Otto out asap since he’s clearly sneaky and want his family to have power. As soon as I found out he had people following the Princess it was wraps. Also i liked criston at first but did he really believe she would give everything up. He also didn’t need to do what he did to laenor true lover
Eric writes down Joeffery's name down just to scratch it out 3 mins later lol
Honestly this episode made me dislike Criston quite a bit, I get that he had feelings for Rhaenyra but how could he expect her to give up everything she had ever known to marry him? Also the way he immediately turned on her after getting rejected by telling Alicent about their "sin" and later killing Joffrey and ruining Laenor's and Rhaenyra's marriage, I don't think you would do that to someone you love. He gives me very much nice guy vibes.
I felt horrible for Laenor when he was crying for Joffrey in front of everyone :(
I just want to say. Chiston Cole is not really a bad guy because he killed Joffery. Rhaenya ruined his life. She indirectly forced him to have sex with her. Allowing for all of this to unfold like it did. If she just had got herself off none of this would come to be like it did. I feel like people are just brushing over that fact because shes likable, badass, and a cute girl. If she just left with him than they could be together. He is screwed either way. As soon as Rhaenya wanted to have sex with him his life was pretty much forfeited. No matter what now his life and family name that he worked so hard to better has all been tarnished because he slept with Rhaenya. He had to kill Joffery otherwise he could tell someone else and he could hold it against him. Even through I don't think Cole wanted to kill him straight away. He snapped and just let all his anger out but Joffery was also pretty much just blackmailing him. Now with him wanting to kill himself after the fact is because he had completely gone against the vow he took. Cole told Alicent because he is still a Knight and still believed and trusted in his vow. He has to serve the Queen. He thought she knew that he had slept with Rhaenya when Alicent was talking and thinking about Daemon and Rhaenya. If you rewatch the clip of Rhaenya and Cole having sex. You can clearly see that Cole didn't want it to happen. He kind of just stood there, contemplating on what he should do. He is screwed either way. Even if he pulled away and left. She would have him fired at some point and their relationship would be awkward to carry on. Alicent is the only person who knows of Coles and Rhaenyas relationship. She will use Cole against Rhaenya in the later episodes. I would think. Just by how the show is going and the trailers. Alicent will take Cole as her personal guard and use him. I don't get why people are hating on Cole so far. I get if he does stuff later on. Then you could hate him but in the meantime I don't get the reasoning why.
@@Lowkenn_Edits Rheanyra did use her power to seduce Criston for her own selfish reasons... however Criston is still being a typical "nice guy". You know the guy who loves a girls sooooo much that he will destruct everything when she doesn't act the way he wants her too. The kind who use violence to get what he wants. The type who's love is replaced by so much hate.
Criston didn't tell Alicent because he's a knight and honourable he told her because of guilt, not thinking things through, anger and good old fashioned butthurt.
Rheanyra used her power to seduce Cole, but she never intentionally hurt him or lashed out to hurt others or him when he rejected her offer of continuing their affair. You can defend the power imbalance without defending Cole's behaviour
@@mumofmany1498 I legit wrote a whole essay but I accidentally deleted the whole comment. I'm kind of pissed.
@@Lowkenn_Edits happens to the best of us
@@mumofmany1498 Shortened version of the comment. Either I'm looking too far into this or others are not looking enough. I would assume you are meaning the boat conversation between Cole and Rhaenya when you made this comment " he will destruct everything when she doesn't act the way he wants her to." His life is screwed either way. He might as well offer to leave for Essos to start a new life where they can love each other without duty. Cole is definitely naive to the role Rhaenya plays as the princess to the king. He doesn't know about the Song of Ice and Fire prophecy. The comment Cole made about him being her whore is true. He has to fuck her and try to love her while she sleeps with another man and has future kids with. He has to have a relationship in private so his family name doesn't get tarnished. something he worked his whole life to better from poor to a member of the Kingsguard. So you understand why he would be hateful. He can never have a relationship with Rhaenya because she chooses duty first. If I was him I would be salty too. Also all of this and he can't say no to her demands.
Cole thought the word got out between him and Rhaeyna. He outed himself because she wanted the truth from him. He did what the Queen asked him to do. Tell the truth. it was just in fact the wrong truth to tell.
Rhaenya was just too young and naive to know that she would hurt him. She thought and still did think that it was fine to have an affair. Not knowing what the other person wants and that it would hurt him.

Technically Criston Cole might be worse than Daemon at this point. Daemon could at least argue self-defense since Rhea drew on him first. Criston just killed a dude because he was pissed off.
