The actor who plays Viserys, Paddy Considine, said this about Viserys after the episode: "From the moment she [Aemma] dies, so does Viserys. It was a love story. That's the secret I carried with me. As sick as he gets, he never, himself, demands any cure. He quietly accepts his suffering, never forgiving himself for putting his beloved wife through such torture in her final moments."

Even tho I get where Vaemond was coming from too, Rhaenyra LITERALLY proposed the best peaceful solution that would resolve his concerns. Luke would marry Rhaena who IS of Velaryon blood as the daughter of Laena. So their children would still be of Velaryeon blood and the Velaryeon blood would rule over Driftmark for centuries to come. But it still wasn't enough for him cause "the lineage has to come from male heir" blah blah blah. He was already salty over the fact Rhaenyra was named the heir for the throne, he mentioned it himself in the throne room right to the King's face.

Corlys wanted Lucerys to be heir to Driftmark. If you look into Corlys history. You will see that it was ALL Corlys Velaryon that built his house the richest in land. It was Corlys that went out on all those sea voyages, returning with priceless treasures. Vaemond attributed very little to making House Velaryon the success it was. With that regard, his got some balls on him. I say again, Vaemond gave nothing to the success of House Velaryon and it showed. Naming Rhaenyra's kids bastards and calling her a whore all in front of the king. That is a desperate move.

True. The Sea Snake was a legend. No man, apart from Aegon the Conqueror, had done so much for his house. Vaemond didn't even believe in the Seige of Stepstones which ultimately gave House Velaryon the control of the Narrow Sea and it's trade routes. His "I only care for the blood" rant was hollow. Given that Lucerys was to marry Rhaena, it would ultimately be Velaryon blood who would inherit the throne after them. But Vaemond didn't care cos he only wanted power.

Yes, in that final scene Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra. It was as if he was continuing the conversation from the previous night when she came to him to ask if he really thought that the prophecy from Aegon the Conquerer was true, the Song of Ice and Fire. We didn’t see him really give any response to Rhaenyra that night. But if you go back and listen to it, what he says is directly an answer to what she was asking. And of course Alicent doesn’t know anything about that prophecy and heard him muttering something that included the name Aegon. Which she will think that he was talking about their son, not Aegon the Conqueror. When the screen went to black you heard his final words were “My Love.”Interviews with the actor confirmed that he felt that the Viserys would have been thinking about his first wife, Aemma. He said that he thought that the key to the character of Viserys was Aemma’s death in that first episode. She was the love of his life and he never forgave himself for his role in her death. It was definitely one of the reasons that he favored Rhaenyra so much, to the point of even referring to her as his only child in this episode. I really enjoyed the moment of Jace dancing with Helaena at the dinner. It makes me think about how Rhaenyra had proposed having those two get married at one point. And if Alicent would have accepted that it probably would have prevented any future conflict, as both branches of the family would have a child in the important position of king or queen. It might not have been quite as satisfying for the Hightowers. But it still would have meant that their heir would eventually sit on the throne. I appreciated your final comments about Rhaenys. I believe that she was standing vigil over Vaemond’s body. I expect that she would feel a bit of guilt over her role in his death, as it was her acceptance of Lucerys’ claim to Driftmark that totally shot down his own claim. I expect it was the fact that Viserys showed up for Rhaenyra that convinced her to make that declaration and officially accept Rhaenyra’s offers of the betrothals in that very public manner. Rhaenys is very shrewd. I look forward to your reactions to the final two episodes of the season, which are also excellent IMO.

@icarus7217 Жыл бұрын

Hi. This is one of my favorite episodes of the season. The scene with Rhaenyra pleading with Viserys for support was great ( Emma D'Arcy is it killing as the older version! ), Paddy Considinecwas epic as Viserys, older version of Aemond is maniacally good. Daemon, bada** as usual, also showed his softer side helping Viserys up the Iron thrones steps after picking up the kings fallen crown and placing it on Visery's head. The ending with Alicent mistakenly taking Visery's the prince that was promised ramblings to mean her son Aegon was also good. Nice reaction as usual.✌ P.S.

Aegon the Elder, Jace and Luke taunted Aemond with the "Pink Dread" (a pig with wings) in lieu of a real dragon back in the 6th episode. That's why Luke sniggered when the pig was set down before Aemond. Aegon is older than him, Jace the same age but Luke is younger. Aemond's not quite got over the indignity of being bullied by someone younger than him. Viserys thinks he's continuing the chat with Rhaenyra about Aegon's prophecy. But Alicent thinks he was telling her that Aegon (the elder) should be King. (Aegon the Elder is Alicent's kid. Aegon the Younger is Rhaenyra's kid with Daemon.)

She is such a good actor. What a performance just via the blank dead inside expression. Alicent and Rhanerya on either side with the map of KL between them. Symbolic of the chasm that is about to swallow Westeros whole. Speaking of symbolic, the last supper. That was one of the best iterations of a "calm before the storm" scene. It deserved all the high praise it got. The supper was comparable to peak GoT moments. It's so sad because it is a glimpse of the alternative reality that could've been. It's moving and tragic.

And yes aegon is married to his sister helaena which I feel so bad for cause she’s so sweet and interesting 🥺they also have kids together 😅 rhaenys is her name who is the grandmother to rhaena and baela who will be marrying jace and Luke , also viserys thought he was talking to rhae about the prophecy of aegon the first who conquered westeros with his sisterwifes and he had a dream about the north anyways now alicent miss interpreted with thinking that viserys changed his mind and wants their son aegon to be king now lol this is what happens when everyone has almost the same names smh.🤦🏾‍♀️ 😂😒💀

The prophecy miscommunication didn't drive the coup. The dinner was a heartfelt gesture where both got carried away in the moment. But it wasn't gonna change the divide over primogeniture. As the show made it clear, plans for the coup were already prepared. The prophecy was simply used by Otto as a propaganda pretext & by Alicent as a self-deluding tool of moral justification. Which goes well with her show character of "hiding behind the cloak of righteousness". It was her trying to convince herself (not others), what she was doing was moral & right. Everyone already knew what was up. It's not that Queen didn't want her son on the throne, she told Rhaenys in no uncertain terms that's what was gonna happen. But she & Otto have two different visions of ruling & to quote what Renly told Ned, "he who holds the king, holds the kingdom".

Vaemond is very dumb, because Rhaenyra also has Velaryon blood through her great-grandfather Old King Jaehaerys Targaryen and her great-grandmother Queen Alyssane Targaryen. The mother of Jaehaerys and Alyssane was Alyssa Velaryon who married the only son of Aegon I The Conqueror Targaryen and Queen Rhaenys Targaryen who was Aenys I Targaryen. The mother of Aegon I and Visenya and Rhaenys was also a Velaryon. Vaemond should have studied the family better instead of making accusations against Rhaenyra and saying that she does not know Velaryon blood when in fact Rhaenyra has Targaryen blood as well as Velaryon blood.

Like condal said in the BTS they did a great job of showing how much the Red Keep and by extension King's Landing has changed under Hightower tutelage. When we started, it was such a lively place bustling with life and color filled with Targaryen erotica, dragon erotica. Now it has the feeling of a stern, austere monastery reflecting the temperament of the queen. It's heartbreaking watching the two trying to futilely make amends with an insurmountable gulf between them. In the show universe they did have a real love and friendship with each other at one time. But the were driven by the men around them. They tried to move away from the precipice. But as fate would have it, it's too late. The poison had already spread. The kids who do not appreciate the history that's gone into this and what's at stake, kicks it off. "To the health of my nephews, each of them handsome, wise and Strong!"

Season 1 sort of serves as a prequel to The Dance of Dragons. The reason for the time jumps is that there Isn't much story to tell until the characters have reached the age they are in this episode.

At the beginning, Viserys thought he was talking to Alicent when it was Rhaenyra. Then at the end of the episode, that swapped. He was answering Rhaenyra’s question from earlier about Aegon the Conqueror. Alicent misunderstands, thinks he’s talking about _their son_ Aegon, and runs with it. 😫 And like someone else said- Aemond got in his feels about Luke laughing about the pig being placed in front of him; a reference to the Pink Dread they “gave” him as a kid. 🐷 One last thing- yalls reaction to Aemond was everything - I swear I said the exact same things 💀 (as well as most people) He did some ACTING with that one eyeball! 😂😂😂👁️🏴‍☠️👏🏼

The Targaryen grandmother’s name is Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, the wife of Lord Corlys Velaryon and the mother of his children: Lady Laena Velaryon and Ser Laenor Velaryon. She is also the grandmother of Prince Daemon and Laena’s daughters Baela and Rhaena Targaryen.

My favorite episode of the whole season. Paddy did such an amazing job acting. Absolutely ridiculous that he got skipped over for any award nominations for this episode. The guy playing Aemond was in the series The Last Kingdom. He played a monk. If y'all haven't watched that series it would be great to react to. It is AMAZING! Has such great acting and cinematography. I love it more than GOT.

I loved seeing Vaemond getting his head sliced off. Not going to lie I didn't like the scene of Alicent misunderstanding Viserys's last words, like she's smart enough to not listen to the ramblings of a man who was high off milk of the poppy. To me it just gives her a way out as to why she does what she does in episode 9.

I don’t see anyone in the comments bringing this up so I will. Listen to what Helaena says! (Sister/Wife of Aegon) She seems to not make sense a lot of the time but everything she says has meaning. At 29:11 you hear her say ‘beware the beast beneath the boards’ which foreshadows future events. She has also foreshadowed more events, some of which have already happened. For example: when Alicent told Aemond that he will have a dragon one day, she says ‘he’ll have to lose an eye’. Another one that I rarely see mentioned is that she describes one of her bugs as having eyes yet not seeing, when Alicent asks her how that works she simply says ‘it is beyond our understanding’. She is possibly referring to Viserys refusing to see Rhaenyra’s children as illegitimate.

Aegon married his sister, yes. Viserys & Damon's mother and father were brother and sister. Viserys & Damon's grandfather King Jaeharys married his great love his sister, Queen Alysanne. They even eloped before anyone could stop them.

Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra, that rainy night rhaenyra went to speak to him and said "if you wish me to bear it then defend me." viserys was out of it and couldn't really respond but then later, after the dinner, he thought he was speaking to Rhaenyra. Both, Rhaenyra and Alicent have sons named Aegon so that's why Alicent thought it was her son but Voiserys meant Rhaenyra's son, Aegon.

This episode was amazing , Paddy Consadine really knocked it out of the park this one if he does not win the emmy there is no justice at all , the scene where Daemon picks up Viserys crown actually had me tearing up such a moving and powerful scene , All the other actors were fantastic too even the ones who have small roles are truly great in fact I don't think there is a bad performance in this show at all , special mention to Ewan Mitchell as Aemond who is truly scary and intimidating with just giving a look ( the eye patch , hair etc makes him look really bad ass ) really love Eve Best as Raenys too She has some great dialogue and her character is so cool . The last two episodes really ramp things up and events escalate , can't wait for your reactions as always. What with this and Andor those two shows were the real highlights of 2022 for me .

You haven't even seen who Paddy is going against. The billed him in the lead roll. That means he is going against Bob Odenkirk in BCS's last season, plus freaking Succession. Bob Odenkirk will be a heavy favorite, and deserves to win

This was my favorite episode of the season. Vaemond claims Rhaenyra's son's have no Velaryon blood but they have it through Rhaenyra. I'll explain how, Aegon the Conqueror's mother was a Velaryon, then the Conqueror's son married a Velaryon and had kids with her which was King Jahaerys and Queen Alyssane who were half Velaryon, so that means Viserys has Velaryon blood also which passes through Rhaenyra's blood onto her son's. Rhaenyra's son's are also related to Laenor, they are 3rd cousin's to Laenor because Rhaenys and Viserys are 1st cousins, which makes Laenor and Rhaenyra 2nd cousin's so her son's are 3rd cousins to Laenor.

Yes. Aegon is married to his sister Helaena and they have twins, a boy and a girl. Names are Jaehaereys and Jaehaera. They do end up having another son, but I don't know if Maelor is born already by this time. If you remember in the last episode when Aegon is bitching to Aemond about having to marry her.

Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra. He thought she was the prince who was promised. Like Varys said when he was talking about Daenerys, it could be a prince or princess because of the translation. So viserys calling rhaenyra his only child, sticking with her as his heir instead of his son, he really thought she would be the saviour of his realm because of his love for his first child that survived, from the wife he really loved. He never stopped loving Aemma

The viewer always speculate how genuine those toasts were at the dinner. I always say those were the most authentic we've ever seen them because it was the only time they were NOT putting on their masks. It shows that without the line of succession and primogeniture and all the other royal madness mirroring what existed in medieval Europe, these people could've been really good friends. But the system they lived in destined them to murder each other. The dinner sequence makes for so much regret and despair cause it was a tiny window to what could've been. It’s the gossamer’s thread slipping away from their hands. They knew it was the last moments of solitude, but at the same time they probably did briefly delude themselves into thinking "maybe things will work out". They’re all unwitting participants in a tragic theater that’s about to unfold.
