In the book it was a little longer than a single day. He spent a few months becoming closer and closer to Rhaenyra. But, the show did very well at condensing it.
The way they portrayed every character as morally grey so that you can root for everyone one is absolutely incredible. I’m really amazed by how good this show is
There are many ways of viewing Otto’s tenure as Hand, on the one hand you could point to his work,such as suggesting to travel to Dragonstone in the Kings stead to confront Daemon, could suggest a genuine commitment to his duties,as he may not have been aware of what to expect,he thought it would be wiser to not place the King’s life in peril, on the other hand this act may be seen as a calculated move, in order to continue to stand as a wall of deflection between the Targaryen brothers, to prevent reconciliation and continue the process of sowing seeds of division between them, grey characters are therefore an amazing representation of a mixture of morally upright and morally bankrupt actions which cause the reader/viewer to make up their own minds,by interpreting their deeds as having greater significance in the long run, whether that be for noble intentions such as “serving the realm” or something more sinister (vying to deprive the heir of their birthright) it is a series of very complicated characters, similar to their predecessors in Game of Thrones, and that is why I adore this show, it is a step in the right direction from the disgrace of the last seasons.
He served 2 kings and the realm loyaly for years, He wants to leave a legacy for his children and he did that completely lawfully and without hurting anyone up to this point! He may be coniving but by no means he's evil... I do feel sympathy for his character!
@@thihaaung647 Exactly. All we've see are Daemon's antics to get attention. Don't get me wrong, I quite like his character but he is an opportunist that much is certain. Viserys is like I love you and all but keep that shit over there and away from my daughter.
Viserys wasn't talking about incest. He was talking about the fact that Daemon has supposedly corrupted her, when he should be looking out for her as family. That is why Viserys says "Your heart is blacker than I thought." So when he says "Your niece," he meant it as more of a "Oh, she's your family, you should be caring for her rather than corrupting her like this".
@@kraber101 Yup incest was never the issue. His master plan if you want to say that it was a calculated move was to delibrately ruin Rhaenyra's reputation so that he could wed her.
Sure but the way she behaved was very immature. Ive no problem with fucking ser criston but having sex with your uncle in a public place while you are the heir to the iron throne is stupid. She should learn to control her impulses if she wants to rule
I bet taht will backfire sooo hard. Alicent surely loves it that she tries to help rhaenyra against all circumstances and she fires her dadfor telling the truth XD
You can't give him credit for Otto being fired. Daemon wanted Viserys to know about the brothel so Rhaenyra's reputation would be ruined and he could marry her. Nope, Otto's fate was all Rhaenyra lmao
@@blueskybelyr I think u missed the part where the kid that gives Otto the information is the same kid that gives the coins to Mysaria later in the episode. Otto says the information came from "The White Worm", I'm pretty sure the that's Mysaria. Demon and Mysaria made sure the information went to Otto and that he would be the one to leak it to the king, this would anger the king and make him see Otto's ambition, and it would also make Rhaeneyra realize how much of a hindrance Otto really is and push for him to be removed as hand of the king. Daemon and Mysaria orchestrated everything.
@@VDA19 Without giving any spoilers, what I know from the book is that Daemon and Mysaria share a great trust even when they are not romantically involved with each other, so I don't think Mysaria would be doing this behind his back
@@mangomaniac5518 If that is what meant to happen it is a bit of a stretch. Too many things needed to fall into place that would led to Otto being "fired".
Daemon and Rhaenyra manipulating, lying, playing games. Every ep there are parallels between them. Viserys said it perfectly: blood of the dragon runs thru their veins, they are chaos and two sides of the same coin (which their actors said as well) and it's clearly that no matter what, they both love and have attraction for each other. Them together are very powerful but chaotic which is why this show is gona be great lol
I think that Viserys is the one that better understands his family, and I don't think that chaotic and restless people are good at planning, they are too impulsive, I really think that Daemon acted on impulse, there's no way that he wouldn't be exiled after that.
i already have 60 excuses written for why daemon is gonna do what’s he’s gonna do next and i dont know what he’s gonna do but i will do whatever i can to support him
The scene with Damon and Viserys in the throne room all I could think is it can’t be fun to try and fly a dragon home when you’re so hungover that you need to hold onto the floor.
Good thing Caraxes was parked in the Dragonpit, but how the hell did Daemon get up the hill to the castle? They must have gone and dragged him all the way from Mysaria's basement.
Also Rhaenyra and Daemon really got Otto fired by fucking around and having fun in the city lol 😭 (I do feel bad for Cole tho for being draged into all of this, he can lose his life)
Got dragged into it is a bit of a stretch. Probably took a good 20 min to take off all that armor lol he knew what he was doing & had plenty of time to say something & stop Edit** I’m not saying she didn’t seduce him. That was clearly her intention. But she did not coerce him (use force/threaten), there’s a difference. He still had plenty of time to speak up, ask questions, but he didn’t say a single word. He may have felt unsure about rejecting her advances, but lowkey he wanted it too. Also, based on the prev episode, they do seem to care for one another & connected on a personal level. I don’t think she would’ve had him killed for saying no, despite the power dynamic, but that’s just me. Still great TV tho! & no, I haven’t read the books.
Rhaenyra got casted on the Bachelorette, (almost?) screwed her uncle, banged Criston, and got Otto fired all in one episode. LOLOL Home girl was BUSY in episode 4.
My mom and sister asked if they had ways of terminating pregnancies like this in Westeros after Rhaenyra bedded Ser Cristain. They made me pause the episode to explain to them what Moon Tea was and how Lysa Tully was forced to drink it after Littlefinger got her pregnant before she married Jon Arryn.
Moon Tea, also known among Maesters as Plan T. But yes, Lysa Arryn was forced to abort her and Littlefinger's baby when they were young. That's why Lysa was wed off to an old lord like Arryn, her 'value' had diminished greatly due to the rumors. It's probably also why Lysa's kid was so sickly.
Part of me thinks Daemon genuinely loves Rhaenyra. That stopped him from, er, performing (TFW it gets a little weird because you realize you caught feels) and he meant it when he said that he wants Rhaenyra for wife.
The worst part was that Rhaenrya didn't resist, she wanted it. Daemon acted impulsively and realised that it was wrong that way. So who's more sick right here, Rhaenrya or Daemon...either way this is excellent foreshadowing. Also the machinations by both to get Otto fired was the best bit of scheming so far. I really like this and I'm looking forward to see what happens next.
How I wish I could fly from Africa to the US and join you guys. I've been watching you since GoT and I must say I dearly love your reactions (especially Captain America). Though I wish the videos are little bit longer (loll)
Rhaenyra upped her game this episode damn. not only did she get the current queen to vouch for her, she also got the one who accused her, hand of the king, fired. She's already hella conniving and politically dangerous even as a young teen. can't wait to see her grow up and love/hate her. lmao
@@danielhenrique4466 Leak it to someone else who also doesn't want Rhaenyra on the throne. There are some caveats though. So far while most lords seem somewhat unhappy/unsure, no one else is actively working against Rhaenyra. Also someone less trusted by the King may not be taken seriously and the rumors could just be shrugged off.
I don't think he was being super deceptive this time. While Otto wants Aegon to be king, I don't think he feels the need to push Rhaenyra aside. The people would support Aegon's rule regardless. I think he was doing his regular hand of the king job here and that's why he's so shocked when he's fired - he actually was doing his job this time.
True, or just spread it as a rumor, but then unlike Littlefinger he isn't into sowing chaos, he wants the throne to be stable in order for his grandson to inherit. This was the one time where he did the thing he was ostensibly supposed to do, but got fired for it anyways.
@@MrJethroha Indeed, thinking about that way, Otto is not a man that thrives in chaos. He is an ambitious man but at the same time he wants a stable realm, so he wouldn’t risk leak that news.
@@TCO_404 That’s just inaccurate in many ways but okay lol I’m actually kind of bewildered that someone’s justified conflict about breaking an oath vs. following their instinctual feelings has been seen as some people as being “miserable.” there’s alot of media illiteracy going on here. he didn’t ask her to “stop” because he didn’t want to be with her……he asked her to stop at the beginning because anyone could catch them and he was apprehensive about the consequences. “Miserable as hell” he’s laughing and smiling when they’re undressing and actually hooking up. Like huh?
Like it or not, Otto's discretion is one of the reasons why Rhaenyra still holds the title of heir. He chose to go to the king directly and delivery the information to him in private. He could have easily said this in the small council meeting in front of other lords and have it spread among the small folks, oh imagine all the stage plays they're going to make if they knew that. But nah, he kept the information in private, Alicent did the same with Rhaenyra by meeting her in private.
That was my thought. Book Petyr or Varys would make sure to fan the flames of the rumor without having it come directly from them. Its ironic that Otto gets dismissed for the most honorable thing we've seen him do.
@@brianward1292 Yes, and even one of the showrunners, Ryan J. Condal, said in the cast interview about episode 4, that Otto truly loves Viserys and cares about him. There's so much more to Otto than self ambition. No doubt he has high ambitions for his house, but at the same time he is conflicted because he cares for the king.
@@hobbesthecat6868 Nah, that is Viserys. He knows Rhaenyra is just as manipulative as Daemon when she wants to be, that’s why he doesn’t believe what she told Alicent. Daemon’s reaction also solidified the idea in his mind that something did happen, because he doesn’t see why Daemon would lie in this case. Either way, the cost of NOT sending the moon tea is highest, because either she drinks it and nothing happens, or she doesn’t and 9 months down the line they have to deal with a bastard (and worse, one WITHOUT silver hair).
You are too innocent or too blind, he knew that the gossip was already spread, maybe by himself. Otto is manipulative, and he tried to destroy not only Rhaenyra's reputation but Viserys' too...
For HOT D, they have a few people rewatch the episode and share their thoughts. It has cutaways and is really funny. You can find it on Thursdays. Idk if that’s what you meant.
Probably just me but taking all that armour off with wood? Jesus i'd of blown my fuse before she got to my collar!! Edit.. Otto "i bring discomforting news" Viserys "The Sea Snake" Otto "No The Trouser Snake your Grace"
Definitely. I still think there is so much more to tell of Jon (Aegon) Snow. Even though I still loved season 8, this spin off show could fix some of the issues with the ending. Two birds with one stone.
Except the prophecy should happen during the Long Night. The Long Night is over. I don't see what's the point of bringing the prophecy back in the Jon Snow show. The showrunners of GOT didn't go into details about the prophecy, they just mentioned it and threw it in the garbage. They didn't even mention the criteria of the prophecy. The only thing they got right is the word ''prince'' in High Valyrian which is gender neutral.
They need to. Season 8 was awful especially having Arya killed the night king. She isn’t the prince that was promised and doesn’t have any Targaryen blood. The directors literally did it for shook value.
I don't know, the scene in the brothel was for the most part shot as if a kind of dream sequence where some parts are true and others imagined. Or it was exactly what it seemed to be.. i really don't know ;) But that talk she had with Deamon sure seemed to let her inner rebel out, that Targarian dragon blood i guess. So far those two are my favorite characters for sure, but what can i say, i guess i'm a sucker for the rebellious types hehehe.
@@sizmo565 I literally couldnt stop laughing when I heard her reaction, I just rewatched it now and I'm on the floor again🤣🤣😭😭 the reaction is very appropriate to be honest.
Horseback riding tends kind of make that a moot point, I would imagine dragon riding would do the same. Saddles are... not terribly comfortable and bouncing on them does chafe a person so.
how i wish i can join with all of them, watching HOTD together, reacting together. but i cant coz im not from the US. i really enjoy watching yall since GOT days. 🔥
The prophecy of the prince that was promised, A song of fire and ice refers to Jon Snow/Aegon the III. The prophecy of the targaryen who would unite all of westeros against the White Walkers and end them with Dragonfire.

This is why HotD is better watched without any relatives.
Rhaenyra like, "I did not have sexual relations with my uncle."
😂
And like Slick Willy, she's banking on, "Well, define sexual relations."
Well, they almost did it until Daemon said nah, not yet. I want Otto to think this so I can indirectly hurt him.
I mean, she didn't say who she lost her V card to, so not lying in that sense.
Look, I’m not saying I was totally with Rhaenyra this episode…. But gotta give our girl props for that stunt she did regarding Otto

Good thing Caraxes was parked in the Dragonpit, but how the hell did Daemon get up the hill to the castle? They must have gone and dragged him all the way from Mysaria's basement.

But nah, he kept the information in private, Alicent did the same with Rhaenyra by meeting her in private.
That was my thought. Book Petyr or Varys would make sure to fan the flames of the rumor without having it come directly from them. Its ironic that Otto gets dismissed for the most honorable thing we've seen him do.
@@brianward1292 Yes, and even one of the showrunners, Ryan J. Condal, said in the cast interview about episode 4, that Otto truly loves Viserys and cares about him. There's so much more to Otto than self ambition. No doubt he has high ambitions for his house, but at the same time he is conflicted because he cares for the king.
@@hobbesthecat6868 Nah, that is Viserys. He knows Rhaenyra is just as manipulative as Daemon when she wants to be, that’s why he doesn’t believe what she told Alicent. Daemon’s reaction also solidified the idea in his mind that something did happen, because he doesn’t see why Daemon would lie in this case. Either way, the cost of NOT sending the moon tea is highest, because either she drinks it and nothing happens, or she doesn’t and 9 months down the line they have to deal with a bastard (and worse, one WITHOUT silver hair).
You are too innocent or too blind, he knew that the gossip was already spread, maybe by himself. Otto is manipulative, and he tried to destroy not only Rhaenyra's reputation but Viserys' too...
I always like the bar's reactions when the closing credits appear. Similar to my own "Awwwwww!" 😁
Well, technically our girl Rhaenyra is telling the truth about Daemon. Alicent just went for the wrong conclusions 😅😂
Rhaenyra was like "I'll get that D one way or another"💀
7:34 "You talkin to me?" Lol.
Gotta say sean i really enjoy the split screen reactions and i would love more of them even if it takes you longer.
Nothing says consent like taking off 70 pounds of armor
The guy in the blue plaid top and the girl with electric banana yellow hair -- priceless reactions.
I like the Viserys Daemon scene. Daemon wanted to marry rhaenyra. Keeping that Pure Targaryen blood coulde be powerful.
They're not even of pure valyrian blood anymore
The last scene proves that how well the king knows his daughter..he knows that his daughter is not completely innocent.boom!!!
YOU ARE THE DRAGON. YOUR WORDS IS TRUTH AND LAW. wooooow!! 🐲
I LOVE THE ADITTION OF THE 3 CAMERAS GUYS
GREAT IDEA
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
It's a hollow victory... Otto is now a disgruntled ex employee with a file full of receipts and a Twitter account.
What could be cool for this channel is to get reactions from people once the episode is finished! Just a suggestion! HOTD has been pretty good so far!
Oh shit..... briliant idea! Sean Tank tops better listen. Unless of course this is already a patreon thing?
For HOT D, they have a few people rewatch the episode and share their thoughts. It has cutaways and is really funny. You can find it on Thursdays. Idk if that’s what you meant.
1:34 I had the same reaction as the dude on the back lol
Probably just me but taking all that armour off with wood? Jesus i'd of blown my fuse before she got to my collar!!
Edit.. Otto "i bring discomforting news"
Viserys "The Sea Snake"
Otto "No The Trouser Snake your Grace"
^^
They've mentioned the Aegon Prophecy so much this series. It feels like the Jon Snow show is definitely happening and it will address the prophecy.
It has to be, the only way to fulfill the prophecy
So what exactly would the jon snow show do for us? Personally, he should’ve been burned alive by drogon 🤷🏻
Definitely. I still think there is so much more to tell of Jon (Aegon) Snow. Even though I still loved season 8, this spin off show could fix some of the issues with the ending. Two birds with one stone.
Except the prophecy should happen during the Long Night. The Long Night is over. I don't see what's the point of bringing the prophecy back in the Jon Snow show. The showrunners of GOT didn't go into details about the prophecy, they just mentioned it and threw it in the garbage. They didn't even mention the criteria of the prophecy. The only thing they got right is the word ''prince'' in High Valyrian which is gender neutral.
They need to. Season 8 was awful especially having Arya killed the night king. She isn’t the prince that was promised and doesn’t have any Targaryen blood. The directors literally did it for shook value.
Rhaenyra getting Ds this episode. Hahahaha 😂😂😂
When sir cristen cole said “you finished?”
I thought what I should not have
What did you think when he said "stop"?
@@TCO_404 tbh i was very uncomfortable in that scene lol. Ironic bcs i wasnt in daemons scene but with cristin cole it was so uncomfortable lol
I don't know, the scene in the brothel was for the most part shot as if a kind of dream sequence where some parts are true and others imagined.
Or it was exactly what it seemed to be.. i really don't know ;)
But that talk she had with Deamon sure seemed to let her inner rebel out, that Targarian dragon blood i guess.
So far those two are my favorite characters for sure, but what can i say, i guess i'm a sucker for the rebellious types hehehe.
Sou do Brasil e adoro esse bar, um dia ainda vou conseguir visitar vocês e assistir um episódio por aí. Grande abraço.
Daemon be like, I'll do it again.
Wow, what a great episode !! Love the edit & their reactions !!! The ending had me like that too !!! Till next week watchers of the bar
11:19 Sis is me😭🤣I literally ooped at this moment too.
Wish I could like this more than once. I was living for her reaction 😂😂😂
@@sizmo565 I literally couldnt stop laughing when I heard her reaction, I just rewatched it now and I'm on the floor again🤣🤣😭😭 the reaction is very appropriate to be honest.
If TI can talk to his daughter’s gynecologist to make sure she’s still “intact”, I’m surprised Viserys didn’t have a Maester check his daughter.
Horseback riding tends kind of make that a moot point, I would imagine dragon riding would do the same. Saddles are... not terribly comfortable and bouncing on them does chafe a person so.
Which just goes to show that many people are still clueless about the female body and sexuality in general.
Viserys was really badass in this ep
how i wish i can join with all of them, watching HOTD together, reacting together. but i cant coz im not from the US. i really enjoy watching yall since GOT days. 🔥
Eu fiquei de boca aberta com a cena da Rhaenyra e do Cole
11:18 A tale of two reactions 😂
^^
“You are my political headache” is such a dad line
The prophecy of the prince that was promised, A song of fire and ice refers to Jon Snow/Aegon the III. The prophecy of the targaryen who would unite all of westeros against the White Walkers and end them with Dragonfire.
I love this bar ❤️
That lady upfront looks like Rhaenys, doesn't she?
ive been thinking that for weeks
please do more split screen reactions. It's good to see everyone's reactions at the same time~
Daemon did all that to force Viserys into marrying Rhaenyra to him🤣😎!!!
Viserys finally behaved like a good king💀
Things are getting messy!! Also, did you guys like new Multiple SPLIT SCREEN view I tried this vid!? I kinda dig it and wanna keep it going in other vids! Head to www.patreon.com/SeanTankTop and JOIN THE BAR REGULAR TIER to get Early and Uncut Access to our HoTD bar, commentary, and live-stream coverage!
The split screen edit was top notch.
Lmao Rhaenyra Weinsteined Cole
*"GoT and HOTD are the only shows where the incestuous act is accepted and valid. Oh I just luv their chemistry and passion!*
Don’t forget « Dark » if you saw it, it’s a whole new kind of mess 😂😂
@@bonninmanon2257 hmmm.... maybe i'll check that one.
@@LifeOdysseyMotivation Aside from the families problems, it’s a really good show if you’re willing to pay attention 😉
@@bonninmanon2257 indeed
Well she didn’t do the nasty with Daemon. I wouldn’t be totally honest and say oh he only touched me. Haha.
She’s telling the half truth.
She did say that questioning her virtue is treason, implying she's still a virgin, something she's not, and she swore on her mother
Yeah that’s called a lie 😂😂😂
insane episode init
Will be underated for a time defo, but long yall gonna remember and glorify this in the future
Well, i lure Ser criston inside too. 😂
It's so weird watch this with a lot of people 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A prudish, 2 minute Dornish....Oberyn is embarrassed and he doesn't even exist yet
Looking at him with short blonde hair.. Matt Smith would make a great Malfoy.
you mean he would play not only prince Phillip and prince Daemon but also the Half-blood prince? Matt Smith can play as many princes as he wants obviously :) (or was it Snape I dont remember)
someone informed the king about the thing with the knight. that's why he request to give her the tea
Ser Otto Hightower, YOOOUUUUURRRRR FIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRED!!!!!!!!!!
Rhaenyra saying imma take that d tonight!
Yeah.. I mean she got cucked hard
spent like 3 hours just taking off his armor though
@@matias. but it was worth it.. That ser criston is 🔥
Wait this bar is in Chicago??? No wayyyyy. I lived there for over 10 yrs. Amazing city
My one takeaway from this episode was, "Fuck you Otto! you had that coming since the show started!
Awesome episode loved it!
Do we feel like a GoT-style wheel has been set in motion now that Rhaenyra has finally entered the chat with all the other players?
I see nandor at the bar 😁
Is the guy in the lumberjack blue with pinkish stripes fabien Frankel? The lucky Dornish Criston Cole?
From spain
Fan burlington bar
The best
split screen is great
I love the way that already, the show has you choose sides since there’s no good vs evil, and I genuinely feel bad for Otto
To drink or not to drink, that is the question!
