No matter which side Im on, I always feel bad for the dragons dying

Episode 4 was an emotional rollercoaster. While I enjoyed the battle scene, I was deeply saddened by the deaths of these two major characters, Rhaenys and Meleys. What a blow for Team Black.

I feel so bad for dragons man, Sunfyre's screams were gutwrenching and Meleys’ death while looking one last time to Rhaenys was heartbreaking

Sunfyre did everything possible to turn over in the air during the fall and land on his wounded stomach to give Aegon the opportunity to survive. The certified good boy, I felt so bad for him, getting beaten nonstop and he was so happy earlier when he met Aegon, literally the only soul in this world that loves Aegon :/

I love Daemon doing his side quests before finishing the main story

Meleys looking back at her beloved rider and Rhaenys falling down from the sky were so heartbreaking.

Seeing the Greens drag Meleys's severed head into the Red Keep as a war trophy, along with bringing Aegon back, is pulled EXACTLY like the pages in Fire&Blood!

Cole’s post battle PTSD reminds me of Jamie Lannister after the Spoils of War battle. They were shell shocked after seeing what dragons can really do in battle.

The only thing that could destroy House Targaryen was itself. And now it begins.

Seeing dragons fight and kill one another was so painful. Hearing Sunfyre's cries was heartbreaking. Seeing Meleys' last moments was so sad.

Parading Meleys' head in the streets of King's Landing is diabolical

Wasn't ready to lose Rhaenys and Meleys:/

Im never going to forgive the showrunners for showing us the most beautiful dragon Sunfyre the Golden and then immediately having his beauty stripped off within the same episode. Come on!

It's mad that although people blame Visery for the eventuality that was to come with all those plotting whilst he was alive. It was The Green Faction of House Targaryen that led to its power extinction. Not even Maegor himself was stupid enough to parade a dead Dragon to the small folk and show they are not as powerful as believed. It's the beginning of the end of the ultimate power House Targaryen had over the 7 Kingdoms. Not even Daemon would have done that. And he was reckless

Aemond looks like the white walker, they even walk the same way

Poor Sunfyre, his screams were horrendous.

Rip Rhaenys Targaryen, The Queen Who Never Was and never will be 😭😭

Criston Cole finally realising the war might be more brutal then he realised

I bet Rhaenys regrets not burning all the Greens when she had the chance when she eacaped during Aegon’s coronation. I also bet she refused Daemon’s offer to fly with him and kill Vhagar and Aemond together. Now she paid for her mistakes

“Mother, the flames have marked me, but they have not broken me. Our enemies will see that I am unyielding.” - Aegon II

I wasn’t ready for the dragon sounds 😭 at least all the remaining dragons are going to stay nice and safe for the rest of series 💀💀

I knew it! Thank you for saying it! Aemond tried to kill his brother the king! What a cold hearted move!

Still can't believe Aemond's betrayal over Aegon actually happened… Aemond literally aimed at Aegon and Aegon was yelling "noo", the only reason he doesn't finish him on the ground was because Aemond thught Aegon was dead or zero chance of surviving more than a day. That fact that in the book Aegon commissioned a huge golden statue of Aemond in King's Landing (he decreed it should be larger than the Titan of Braavos, and covered in gold leaf). IIRC the Titan of Bravos is around 400 feet (or 121 meters) tall. To put it in comparison, the Statue of Liberty is "only" 305 feet (92 meters), and that's including the base. Imagine the amount of love you have to have to commission a golden statue that tall for your brother. The fact that this happened in the book and Aegon loves Aemond this much while now in the show we have Aemond trying to kill Aegon feels like treason from the showrunners.

I hadn't cried over a dragons death since Rhaegal and Viserion were killed in Game of Thrones. Meleys' death was heartbreaking cause she looked back at Rhaenys as if to say, "We did all we could. This is it Mom.". I also feel really bad for Aegon, he NEVER wanted to be king. He just wanted to be loved and heard. I don't see Aegon as a villain at all, only Alicent, Criston and Otto. They're the reasons that this brutal war started!! Unfortunately, I root for Team Black knowing that they all die..

Can Daemon snap out of whatever he smoked, its getting annoying.

In the end, Rhaenyra technically won the war, as her son will ultimately sit on the iron throne, ending the dance. At the same time, the once mighty Targaryen, begins to falter. The dance of dragons is the descent of the Targaryens. No more dragons, no more strength, no more power ~Bran😂

It is officially the beginning of the end of House Targaryen

Rhaenys and Meleys could have fled at any time after injuring Sunfyre but Rhaenys chose to fight. I hope the Blacks will use this battle as reference. I don't like how the Blacks, apart from Daemon are not ready to be ruthless. They're trying to fight an unjust war with dignity. It's time for ruthlessness. Only Daemon seems to understand this fact. It's sad because they've now lost their biggest dragon. They had the numbers to win the war easily but the numbers are now dwindling quickly. If only team black would just go all out!

That whole dragon fight scene, I was hoping Vhagar was gonna recognize Rhaenys and Maleys and start disobeying Aemond, embarrassing him in front of his army. I was terribly, terribly wrong😩😭

Aww if that's true about seasmoke that is really cute🥰 These dragons are truly like dogs, they have the same bonds and devotion to their riders. It is really heartbreaking watching these animals fight each other.

Greens lost my little remaining support when they dragged melys's head in public. They are pure evil now.

*Aegon* *II:* *A* *Tragic* *Figure* Aegon just lost his son. Nobody in his family takes him seriously or seems to love him. And his own brother was out to kill him. Look, I know Aemond has been bullied since he was a kid. How in Ep. 1x6 The Princess and the Queen, we watch Aemond getting pranked by Aegon, Jace, and Luke with the Pink Dread because Aemond didn't have a dragon. Then we watched Aegon embarrass Aemond again in that whorehouse. Aemond probably had several more instances of Aegon trying to shame him that viewers never saw. But Aemond "accidentally" killing Lucerys did lead to Blood and Cheese which led to his nephew's death. Accidental kills is still a kill and Team Black wouldn't know it. Why try to kill your brother when he just lost his son? No matter how much Daemon didn't get along with Viserys, he always loved his older brother. He was always out there to protect him no matter how many times Viserys banished him from King's Landing. While commenters are saying Daemon is too busy playing Luigi's Mansion, I call it Castle of Illusions Starring Mickey Mouse, some say Silent Hill, at least the writers are making Daemon explore the guilt from his violent and rash actions. While Aemond is becoming more unremorseful for his. Maybe that's why we see Matt Daemon seeing Matt Aemond in that scene. Daemon and Aemond are going different directions processing their guilt. Daemon is about 48 while Aemond is still 19. Aemond is starting to become like those Columbine shooters where he ends up hating the world. Perhaps the Matt Aemond scene was to show that Daemon is the original Aemond and the less remorseful he is, the more he will be like current Aemond. Daemon and Aemond are mirror images of each other. It's young Sephiroth vs. old Sephiroth. Aemond is a reflection of what Daemon used to be 29 years prior. They're both excellent swordsmen. Daemon was knighted at 16. Both are educated as Daemon served as Master of Coin and Law. Aemond seems to be more patient. More cool and calculated. While Daemon can be brash and impatient like Anakin and Luke Skywalker. Reacts more on impulse without thinking things through. Aemond thinks more like Vito and Michael Corleone while Daemon is more like Sonny and Vincent and gets hotheaded quicker. As much as viewers are feeling sympathetic towards Rhaenys and Meleys, although they did kill hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent smallfolk in Ep. 9 The Green Council, I think we should sympathize just as much towards Aegon II. He never wanted the throne. TV version turned him into a happy go lucky guy who only wants to get drunk and hang out with his boys. He's basically a frat boy. But nobody seems to love him except Sunfyre. Then his own brother tried to pull a Cain on Abel and Aegon is looking like Anakin after the Battle of Mustafar. This was a drastic change where we see Aemond attack Aegon, because in the book, Aegon was part of the plot to ambush Rhaenys. Would Aegon remember Aemond trying to kill him or not? If he does and he can still speak, wouldn't he try to report him for it? Will he be able to talk? Aegon would need to talk for later seasons. He can't be just be some mute, crippled burnt victim with amnesia after Aemond tried to kill him. And why not Criston report what he saw? His newest war buddy was ready to kill the king. And how do they lie that Aegon killed Meleys? There were tons of eyewitnesses there to know that isn't true. Meleys was clearly beating on Sunfyre. It's actually a bastard move by Aemond. He is fighting for the Greens but tried to kill the guy he raises his banner for. But I guess his strategy will work because he gets to act like a king with Aegon on the sidelines. Still a dick move because Sunfyre got injured from it too and Sunfyre was never battle-tested. Aemond has already killed two of his kins and attempted on another. I personally love that Aemond is becoming the big dickwad in this and he seems to be in cahoots with the biggest dickwad in Criston. We all need a great villain to have compelling drama. FYI: George R.R. Martin HATES the Greens. I believe he would mind if HBO whitewashes the Greens too much. He didn't seem to care how Blood and Cheese went down. Aegon's humiliations - Alicent pushing Aegon to the throne Alicent hitting him in 1x7 Driftmark Viserys screaming at him in 1x7 Driftmark Has a loveless marriage with his sister His son getting beheaded Aemond shames him in front of the council Aemond trying to kill him Perhaps the Daemon visions in Harrenhal does drag the story. But GrayArea (MJ) does have a great theory that Daemon will become a greenseer. And I think Daemon gets better character development from it. He needs to process the guilt from his actions. Matt Smith said the writers don't want to keep doing the same old thing. They want to explore different avenues with him. While you can see Alicent's face when talking to Rhaenyra on how Aemond is becoming a total monster. Most of these major characters are broken people. Character Rankings 1. Daemon 2. Aemond 3. Rhaenys 4. Rhaenyra 5. Aegon II 6. Helaena (only true likable Green) 7. Alicent 8. Otto (this bastard is getting his by 2x8) 9. Jacaerys 10. Baela Alicent had her most Cersei-like moment when talking with Aegon in that table. Getting drunk and telling Aegon to do absolutely nothing. Aegon is a victim from his own family. This is why he still acts like a frat boy. He gets drunk because everyone expects him to do absolutely nothing. He's a puppet king who was never taken seriously by Otto, Alicent, Viserys, Aemond, Criston, the entire council, and the smallfolk. Aemond being a great tactician is NOT true. The Greens have less dragons than the Blacks. You don't try to injure one of your team's dragons with the limited dragons and riders you have because you have an axe to grind with your older brother. Poor Sunfyre. He didn't deserve being collateral damage because Aemond decided to target Aegon. Then add that killing your own kin is greatly looked down upon and that's why Rhaenys didn't when she had a chance. The 1x9 The Green Council, they were not in war yet. Aemond has finally turned to the dark side and he's already reached a point of no return. Had Viserys and Rhaenyra listened to Daemon, none of this would've happened. Otto used his grandson as his puppet king. Need to listen to Daemon. He saw what a c*nt Otto was that Viserys didn't. Daemon might be an unpredictable wildcard, but he was right all along. Remember the Thanos memes saying Thanos was right? That's Daemon. He was right. Rhaenyra argues with him about Blood and Cheese. Daemon gets banished again. Another family member dies while he is away needing to be Bob Vila renovating the largest castle in the realm that happens to be cursed and haunted. I thought the whole point of Rhaenyra marrying Daemon was she wanted his strength? Rhaenyra asked Daemon to marry her. He even had to kill a random guy to fake Laenor's death. Now she can't seem to trust Daemon anymore by saying hurtful things to him like now much her daddy loved her more than he did? Or how her daddy never trusted him? Go back to 1x7 Driftmark episode. Rhaenyra was practically begging Daemon to marry her because she had no allies and needed his strength. Daemon just lost Laena, and Rhaenyra's legs were opening for her uncle only 15 minutes later. Rhaenyra is going to end up making more mistakes especially after Season 2. I thought her dressing up as a septa was very dangerous and pretty pointless. High risk, no reward. Go on a secret mission after an assassination attempt on her life and after her kid died with no explanation or apologies from the Greens? Ep. 3 is the weakest part of S2. If Rhaenyra ends up closer to her book version, more viewers are going to dislike her. Rhaenyra is not who you think she is later on. Pay attention to how the smallfolk reacts. They can dictate behavior the same way public perception and social media dictates how the supes in The Boys behave. Daemon could've killed Viserys if he really wanted that throne but he isn't a monster like Aemond has become. And why does Aemond do this openly? There are thousands of eyewitnesses looking up in the sky. Why not poison Aegon if he really wanted him dead? Sometimes you need a violent and tough nature like Daemon's if you want to fight a war. You can't wimp out like Rhaenyra is doing. This is war. Rhaenyra turned Daemon from Napoleon Bonaparte to Tim "The Toolman" Taylor. A woman really doesn't understand how to engage in war. Did Rhaenyra expect tea time with Alicent? The Hightowers are the root to this war. Otto manipulated Viserys. Alicent screwed up about thinking it's her Aegon who Viserys was referring to. Aemond "accidentally" killing Lucerys and then kills Rhaenys. We got fans online saying they're Team Green 💚. They're trying to defend these morons and team of losers? The author even hates the Greens! Daemon was right all along. He was right about Otto. He saw through the bullshit. But nobody listened or even trusted him and this what happens. Believing that Otto was an honorable man and Daemon was the problem led to this civil war. Now Daemon is at Harrenhal taking his acid trips and processing the mistakes he made. Finding more Dragonseeds and the Battle of Gullet are coming up. Jacaerys takes the spotlight in the latter. 😢 Viewers may not be able to handle what's going to happen next. More tears 😭. This is a sad tale to watch. It wouldn't be if they all listened to Daemon.

These aren't leaks. They are stills from the episode preview. The title is misleading at best.

Can’t wait for the next episode of Haunting at Harrenhal, starring Daemon and the Witch

I dunno why, but I love spoilers lol. I just cant wait to know what happens next!

Everyone loses in the end from this civil war and it’s the start of the end of the Targaryen’s since they never really recover. All that Targaryen inbreeding final caught up to them.

Great video, man! Keep it up!

Aemond was already moving to sheeve his sword before Cole called out to him.

Vagahr only love to creep up and attack

Dead children and dragons. What a brutal tale this is ! But it’s the world we live in, in metaphors! Dragons are weapons and children are killed for power all the time. Great acting! Marvelous show!

That shot of daemon tho 🔥

What leaks??? Most of this is from the trailer and a little bit from the books. Absolute click bait shite.

i LIKE THE PATH THE SHOW IS TAKING. Rhaenyra should never be "blamed" (responsible, sure because it's her claim she's fighting for) Rhaenys' death. She has tried to avoid war since the throne was taken.

Aemond was already sheathing his sword before Cole called out to him…

Poor Meleyes. That look she gives Rhaenys before she dies is heartbreaking

no because if I lived in that city I'd want to leave right away too.

It’s funny how Aegon burns half his body and Rhaenys doesn’t burn at all. Blood of the dragon was strong in her 😔

Aemond did not draw his sword. His sword was already out. And he was about to sheath it as Cole walked up.

I think the most shocking thing about this episode is how they made Alys Rivers look ugly 💀

Thank you!!

Daemon and caraxes aren’t too keen on diplomacy 😂

Sunfyer got smoked 😂

I cant help but wonder if Aemon knows something about Aegons dagger. It was the first thing he picks up when he finds his brother and sunfyres bodies.....🤔

I remember it was leaks going around saying otto will die in episode 8

otto is the epitome of 'was it all worth it?'

Tell me Aemond wanted Aegon dead without telling me Aemond wanted Aegon dead. How is Aemond going to keep his head after trying to kill King Aegon??

My man here saving me time, bless you.

i hope we really get the “you survived dragonfire” scene / dialogue ❤❤❤❤ so epic

When the small folks saw the dragon head. Then its all over for them as well. So riots.

I don't think Aemund went to kill Aegon after he crashed. He was already sheathing his sword before Criston approached amd called.

Aemond was not going to finish Aegon. Aemond was walking up sword in hand and started to sheath it before Cole shouted at him.

Best episode so far, but so sad too! I think combining so much heartbreak with the battle was a fantastic move since in reality, war is just mass tragedies. Side note: why tf did Daemon even drink whatever Alys gave him!! That was confusing.

"Elinda Massey will be sent and will prevail on messing with all (massive) Kings Landing's supplies" probably by herself in a record time Guess it's "Sir Twenty Goodmen's" level of Sheetwritting all over again Lads.

Funny how the greens changed the narrative. Rhaenys with Meleys was pulverising Aegon/ Sunfyre, then even after Vhagar came, Meleys had the upper hand on Vhagar too for a while, as she was able to slam Vhagar from mid air on to the ground. Eventually Vhagar had to resort to a sneak attack to win. Sadly, failure permits no alibis. Regardless due to the show we know how valiantly Rhaenys/ Meleys went down.

no further details of recent rumors regarding alys trying to get daemon to impregnate her or sleep with her melissandre style for a targ/rivers heir instead of it being aemonds? I was someone say “she may think a child w daemon is more superior than one w aemond and get pregnant claiming it’s aemonds child” then there’s the slight moan in the new promo & alys’ actress saying “alys has wants and needs” or how big a deal olivia phia emma etc seem to be making the character alys out to seem-she obviously plays a big part which is cool but hopefully it’s not due to some seduction storyline with daemon

TEAM NOBODY WINS IN A FAMILY FEUD

The weirdwood trees steal peoples memories.

King Aegon didn't use Milk of The Poppy for pain relief for his wounds...He drank copious amounts of wine.

which are the leaked scenes?

Aemond done a dog move on his brother holding vhagar back well played aemond you villian 😂

The fire was intentional, he was putting his sword away before Christian Cole yells, rewatch it

How corlys is not a dragon rider but his bastard son able to claim a dragon. It's confusing.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="426">7:06</a> alys is not the future lover of daemon. at least, in the novels she isn’t. she is the rumoured lover aemond, however, and she stops him from going into a rampage when he learns of a certain battle not going the greens’ way.

the season is going through plot points slowly, i don't think we are going to see the 4 main characters die this season, idk what season 3 will be. probably the climax this season will be the battle of the godseye, i guess.

Aemond: "Aegon was burned by dragon fire." Alicent: "How could Rhaenys do this?" Aemond: "Who was talking about Rhaenys?" Alicent: "What?" Aemond: "What? Ever." 😅

Rhaenys got emotional and should’ve returned to Dragonstone for military purposes, however heroic, she risked and ultimately wasted valuable resources of herself and Meleys that could’ve helped Rhaenyra with two war dragons to attack Vhagar

Aemond only sheathed his sword because Cole was approaching.

I wish there should be a sword duel between daemon and aemond

Am I mistaken, but at the time stamp <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="284">4:44</a>, I think Aemond's eye patch switched from the left eye, to the right eye.. can someone please either verify or tell me I'm tripping.. 😮😂😢

What about sunfyre 😢 what happened to him are we gonna see it next episode?

everything about this leak was correct except for Corlys meeting Rhaenyra, Otto assembling the hightower army and Addam of Hull meeting rhaenyra.

Deamonds final days play out like gus van sants last days movie

So in short, there's no Vermithor in the next episode?

Amond is only krimi without vegar😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

FAB IS BACKK!!!!!

Why is the Official Trailer's content called leaked?

Gwayne Hightower died in ep4, criston saw nothing remained of gwayne but ashes 😖😖😖

Yeah, that moronic idea of parading Maelys' head would never have happened with Otto as Hand of the King! A good Hand, a good King would PREVENT the people from even KNOWING what was happening in the battlefield until there was no other choice, ergo, the battle arriving at King's Landing doorstep! I am curious as to how Aemond will be as Prince Regent, what changes, if any, the show is going to make!

not leaked scenes. This is the trailer dissected

Oooh, that's why no more dragon flying nowadays, they all died during the dance of the dragon happened a long time ago. But still, we can see the chinese dancing with the dragons during the chinese new year😂😂😂😂😂

the next week sneak peak is not leaked footage.

This is not leaked. It is from the trailer

You literally spoken what's coming for the preview

As of now I only have sympathy for those poor Dragons. They are fighting and killing each other because of the greed and cruelty of the humans. Sunfyre was a beautiful beast. Now she,/he is busted up. Meleys was loyal to Princess Rhaenys to the end. I don't know what's gonna transpire in the next episodes but please no more Dragons dying

Damn Christon Cole!!!!

Is it me or is aemond the temu version of daemon 🥴😂

Don’t think any of this is leaked, it’s like the promo

This episode sounds fucking dope.

Guys will we see that epic scene where daemon jumps out of his dragon and then does the 🤩🤩 in this season?
