I still really hope you gonna release those videos on KZfaq in the future.

i think this episode was better than a glon for a schlon

When are you going to finish your telltale series?

Would it be possible to also get this edited down version on Nebula as well? Would love to be able to watch there to avoid the KZfaq ads

@@hillbillypowpow I believe the technical term is a Targaryen pretzel.

Well tbf, the "Strong" boys were technically legitimized, by being given the Velaryon name. Laenor really WAS his father, by the law, and, by order of the King & all! Hell, Vicerys even threatened to take the tongue of anybody who dare claim otherwise. And of course a lot of that had to do with his love for Rhaenyra sure, however, when you're given a House's name, and made the head of that House's heir... that should be that! People really shouldn't be questioning it or making a huge deal about it. It would be like throwing it in the face of an adopted person, that their parents aren't really biologically their parents. But let's be clear: the Hightowers always would have stolen Rhaenyra's crown from her regardless of who the father of her children was. THEY want the power. And they hate the idea of being ruled by a woman, when Vicerys has a child with a penis, right there. 😂 lol They were ALWAYS going to start this war. Rhaenyra having "Strong" kids, is simply a convenient excuse they get to use.

The trajectory from ‘figuring out the entire plot’ over the first couple of years after aDoD to ‘no new info, nothing is real?’ has been truly remarkable

Well without that, the only things that it might autocomplete would be "dead," "missing," or maybe "wife." None of the theories surrounding his disappearance are terribly popular or widely discussed, and he didn't have anything going on beside that. This is, of course, in contrast to Glidus' other totally legitimate theories, like Hot Pie being the Shrouded Lord, which is probably even more likely but overlooked.

I had a very similar experience last week. My best friend‘s partner has never seen GoT or the first season, but watched the first episode of season two with my friend and I. The ‘previously on’ can only cover so much, leaving way for wild explanations 🤣🤣🤣🤣 “They’re brother and sister but also married with kids, and she can kinda see the future.” Episode ends with Jaehaerys beheaded. “Huh. That was a pretty good show actually.”

You explained Aemond incorrectly

@oculargoose7361 no he didn’t, “brother from another mother”, Aemond is Rhae’s brother from another mother

This ending was great 🥰

Exactly. It reminded me of Henry/Sam in TLOU. He killed his brother because he had to to protect someone else, but couldn’t live more than a few seconds with that knowledge/grief. Also if you look at it from the framing that they were “one soul in two bodies,” Erryk essentially died when he killed Arryk anyway.

I don't think you can say it's one without the other. It's not just like he's looking at a checklist and saying "oh I'm a kinslayer now that means I've gotta die, oh well." It's clearly emotionally driven, but he was brought to that point by the moral standards and compacts of his society.

Cargyllbowl???? Please don't. Cleganebowl was more than enough "bowl" for 20 shows, let alone 1. Yuck. 🌽🌽🌽-ey

It'd only be a 'bowl' if it had been built up to over many seasons, there's not huge anticipation from the audience waiting for this event, that's what makes something bowlesque 🤣

Came here to say this. I really don't think there's much evidence that kinslaying requires seppuku, and no one else in the scene seems to think "ah, what a shame, but he was indeed just rectifying his honor / atoning for sin." They're shocked and almost try to stop it (save that he's too quick - which also shows that he anticipated them trying to stop him) because it wasn't expected of him. It was grief.

rhaenyra also had a lovely, loving mother … I would love to learn more about the just-revealed Alerie Florent, mother to Alicent. (the Florents were still very salty about the Tyrells ruling the reach post-conquest)

Even more specifically, Rhaenyra grew up as a princess, like Alicent's children. Alicent didn't grow up royal, she isn't closer to a god than a man. She could relate to them way more than Alicent, it's too bad those children never really had their sister in their lives, could've been a good influence

Excuses for Alicent

​@@alexissimpson5819huh?

Right it's also the most Viserys-like he's been. Nope, don't tell me what I can already insinuate hellfire daughter of mine thanK YOU

@@lovefromshirley Yeah pretty sure Otto already knew and just didn't want to hear it out loud.

@@lovefromshirley He finally realized why Viserys was so mad about being told about Rhaenyra and Daemon, now that he's in the same position.

My gf, one of three sisters, did the exact same thing.

Viserys, Daemon, Alicent, and Rhaenyra are also at fault to a major degree Trying to tie a continent-wide civil war to a single person is silly. It'd be like saying WWI was all Gavrillo's fault, or Bismarck's

​​@@VesporeonTrue, and it's fair to say that if Alicent and Viserys were half decent, loving parents to their kids this whole thing could be sorted out rather transparently. But one can't ignore that this entire mess is basically a direct result of Otto's powerplays and scheming.

yeah Otto may not have sown the conflict singlehandedly but he is by far the figure most responsible, he has driven basically every stage of the war

@@VesporeonEh, if we have to blame one person though, it’s Otto. He pushed Viserys into making Rhaenyra heir, but only because he wanted Daemon gone. Then he sowed dissent and planned treason amongst the small council to put Aegon on the throne. Everyone else’s actions in the story were largely reactions or answers to conflicts he started. Always claiming the moral high ground that he wanted peace for the realm, but he always put his families ascension above it all.

@thaneofwhiterun3562 The specifics (Hightower-backed Targ dynasty vs Rhaenyra-Daemon-Velaryon front) yes, but the generalities (civil war in general), no. Viserys was always going to remarry, and if it wasn't Alicent then it'd be Laena; Corlys is one of the few people alive more ambitious, skilled, and dedicated than Otto, and he's got the resources to push for it far more than a 2nd son with no lands of his own does. With a remarriage comes the possibility of a son, and then you're pretty much back to square one, especially if he's Corlys' blood For the Dance to be avoided, a great deal of action was required from almost every major involved party. I'll lay out just a few here Viserys either needed to marry Rhaenyra to Daemon or Aegon to combine the claims, call a Great Council and get enough lords to work out a solid system of inheritance (absolute primogeniture), or not push Rhaenyra in the first place. As usual, he proved to be indecisive right up till the moment he had to choose (Aemma's botched pregnancy, walking to the Iron Throne despite his pain), but this often only pushed the problem down the road as it didn't actually address the source Rhaenyra, for her part, should've not been so blaise in regards to dealing with other houses, building good relations with them instead of being snarky and knocking them down a peg (Jason and Lady Redwyne at the royal hunt, Boremund at Storm's End, going away to Dragonstone for years and allowing the Greens to establish control over KL). Westeros is a patriarchal and sexist society and she knows what happened to Rhaenys at the Great Council. Rhaenys who was married to the richest and most influential man in the realm, Rhaenys who was older, more experienced, had the backing of House Baratheon, and rode a larger, more dangerous dragon than Rhaenyra's own, still lost out to Viserys, who had no dragon of his own and no blood ties to any great house apart from his own (Targaryen), with Daemon being the only figure of note especially motivated to back him no matter what. She also should've had her first kid(s) with Harwin, as it's definitely known that Targ phenotype usually loses out to most other ones (books make this stronger with Rhaenys and her black hair being a major example in living memory). I'm not really sure what she was doing on Dragonstone all those years, since she should've been making tours across the realm to make herself a known quality to many lords, especially as she ends up having three kids to offer betrothals in the far future. She also should've tried to establish a better relationship with her half-siblings, which one can assume she didn't really try to do based on the royal hunt episode where she's beefing with a literal infant Daemon needed to learn some impulse control and also how to admit when he's wrong. Heir for a Day should've never been said, and once it was he should've been far more clear in defending himself than he was. He never should've pulled the Rhaenyra-brothel scheme as it simply fucked things up for both of them plus Viserys. He could've used the post-Stepstones victory euphoria to cultivate popular approval and ingratiate himself further to Viserys, bring up the idea of marrying Rhaenyra in a slow, subtle fashion, and get Rhaenyra herself on board to help convince as well. In short, Daemon should've not been Daemon Alicent (and Viserys) should've been more involved as a parent with Aegon, as his nihilistic attitude screams neglect. She also shouldn't have been so hostile to the Strong boys, as causing dissent and hatred between her kids and Rhaenyra's does nothing to advance her (Alicent's) interests. Both parents (Alicent, Viserys, Rhaenyra, Harwin/Laenor) should've been more attentive and shut down the bullying of Aemond, which came from both sides This is all to show bad the situation was leading into the Dance. Despite the personal grudges and ambitions which dominated it, the war itself was a systemic failure, not unlike the messiness of imperial succession in Rome. This is not to absolve Otto of his own responsibility, he did plenty. Forcing Alicent to go to Viserys was immoral, just as what Corlys did was. He deliberately seeded to Alicent the idea that, if Rhaenyra came to power, her kids were done for. He had plenty of time to try and raise Aegon to be less of a fuck-up. He was ready to execute the coup and would've sent assassins to kill Rhaenyra and Daemon, which, if it failed, would've resulted in a war all by itself. Otto is by no means innocent, maybe even the most faulty of any individual, but, as a whole, he still only plays a fraction of a part in how things played out. The very system and framework Westeros was in was the main problem

Agreed.

It's about kinslaying. The whole first and second episodes explore kinslaying and Erryk dying on his sword exemplifies how an honorable man deals with having committed such a heinous sin.

​@@im2arrogant118Could it be ... about both....?

​@@im2arrogant118It's almost like this show has themes and whatnot

@@Hana9916 nah not really. It's kinda stupid to think that they chose different sides in a war and all of a sudden one can't live without the other. It's a very childish interpretation.

​@@im2arrogant118the only childish thing here is your media literacy. This story has many themes and they all interact between each other. The duel between the Cargyll twins is about kinslaying as much as is about loyalty, brotherly love, and the fact that when the high lords play their games the minor lords and the smallfolk are the ones who suffer.

I felt like it was symbolic of how she doesn’t differentiate between the kids more than that. She cares for both of them equally, unlike pretty much everyone else, so her saying "they killed the boy" is her finally recognising that him being the boy mattered. Could also be her not wanting to say his name, which I'm sure will have no negative psychological consequences on his sister with almost the exact same name

He misses his besty. And also successfully manipulating his bestie.

"Your father...if you were half the wimp he was, none of this would've happened!"

@@Guinnessdrnkr1234 He knew he was about to Psych him out.

So damn good. Was really glad we got some clarification on how they both really feel about their weird familial relationships and marriage. Daemon does love his brother and Rhaenyra (as much as a sociopath can) but his jealousy, ambition, and ego are still very much at odds with it.

​@matthewmarkham5096 he definitely loves his family deeply, but I think he only actually _values_ them on how closely they resemble him. Viserys was just too different, so despite the clear love they had for each other, they were constantly at odds. He loved young impulsive Rhaenyra, and still does love her, but he seems to value the more mature, temperate 'I have challenges enough' Rhaenyra a lot less. I think the argument they ended up having was a very natural consequence of how Daemon married Rhaenyra pretty much solely based on the memory he had of her as a teenager. She's grown, he hasn't.

Just the TONE of that line. Gawd Emma is fucking incredible. Not to be dramatic, but I'd take a bullet for them.

It was satisfying to see her finaly facing the reality of both deamon as a person and their relationship, rather than her romanticized version of it

"Look, if you're confused, that's your problem. Maybe you should watch something better suited for your attention span, like Peppa Pig or season 8 of GoT."

and they fully repeat names! Queen Rhaenys (conquered on meraxes, mother of aenys, reasonable and intelligent ruler) v our Rhaenys (queen who never was, rider of meleys, grandmother to our baela and rhaena) Queen Rhaena (first rider of dreamfyre, wife to aegon the uncrowned and maegor the cruel and (her beard) andrew farman) v our Rhaena (baela’s twin, daughter of daemon & laena) Rhaenyra (all three Rhaes briefly in one scene in season 1 right before vaemond challenged sweet baby luke’s driftmark birthright)

I've noticed that in S1E8 during the sparring with Ser Criston Cole, Aemond moved in an animalistic way, almost like a snake coiled and ready to spring or a big cat. Showing him to be more cunning, less straightforward.

@@KrivitskyM well it’s also a basic trade off of mass for speed. Aemond seems incredible fast against ser Criston’s Morningstar swings, but those are slower and wider by nature, Criston is after all also a grown man whose job is to protect others with his body, and thus is far more muscled, whereas Aemond is supposed to be about nineteen, and perhaps hasn’t quite finished filling out yet, and uses that speed provided by his lithe build and ferocity to outwit a stronger opponent and get in close with a risky killing blow.

I think he tries to be kind to Alicent when he says " I don't want to hear it", but Alicent perceives it as being dismissive.

@@frankvandorp2059his delivery of that line was like the most loving he has been toward alicent like ever. the greens just don’t know how to recognize gestures of care and affection from other members of their family 😿

He is most certainly a terrible father.

I think it can easily be both of those simultaneously. He definitely has emotions, but he's always held himself aloof from Alicent and has never praised her except for when she succeeds at something. I think the way you interpret it is the way he meant it, but when you're in Alicent's position you've got absolutely zero reason to interpret it that way.

@@alanpennie8013 lol that is not up for debate at all. Incidentally he’s also my favorite character.

@@VS-kf5qw I agree completely, especially when it comes to Alicents perspective, I don’t doubt that he loves her, but the game is the most important thing to him, I think he, like so many others on both shows are addicted to it. What I find interesting is that it finally seemed to dawn on him just how addicted to the game he is. It’s telling that right before his scene with Alicent, he was verbally eviscerating Aegon and praising the MAN that Viserys was. Viserys loved his family and avoided the game as much as he could(bad thing to do as a King, but that is another topic) So with the perspective of a dawning realization that all his efforts maybe weren’t worth that much, the context of how even when he praised her, he always talked AT his daughter, and the fact that she is, for all her many flaws, a remarkable woman, it felt different. It felt like two equals. At least to me.

Alicent herself certainly didn’t seem to think of it that way

SAY THE LINE BART

Too many people are learning about them, now their just tunnels. Though I guess there's about 100 less people that are aware after this

Just like the "heir for a day" situation. We know those must have been the words said, but without the tone and exact context Daemon retains some flimsy deniability. Though the only "sons" he could be talking about would be one of Aegon's or Aegon himself as a son of Viscerys.

Also, he did say those exact words earlier this episode to Rhaenys

Hi vjDAO😅😊​@@verwirklichbar

​@@verwirklichbarit's weird that none of the content creators I've seen have mentioned that. People were talking all week about whether or not he said those words when he used the exact phrase earlier in the episode. I almost thought I'd imagined that line when nobody brought it up. He definitely used that phrase with blood and cheese, and such ambiguity is totally in line with his character. He would think that gives him plausible deniability while also absolutely getting across the vengeance he wanted from them.

Blood saying "a son for a son" doesn't really prove anything. Daemon used the same line when he was talking to Rhaenys at the beggining of the episode and he explicitly used it in reference to Aemond, so even asuming he told B & C "a son for a son" he clearly meant Alicent's sons, not Helaena's.

I truly cannot imagine clambering through a crowd to brush against the nepotistic nonces subjugating me and everyone else I've ever known by simply being born.

I think they did a good job selling what Christon is. He's a warrior, not a thinker, and that means he's really not good at leading. He's a tool, not a craftsmen, and the self-centered machinations of the royal family have put him in a position that is dangerous to himself and everyone around him. He cares about the oaths and laws by which he is bound, but people use him for their own ends, and it has profound negative effects on him which are externalized to others as a result.

​@@manaash4316 I think Schwift and Glidus nailed it when they said those experiences broke him in a very specific way. The guy sees everything in black and white, and it's as if he suddenly decided "I'm irredeemable no matter what... so I may as well keep digging myself deeper".

Especially Helaena at knife point in the Blood and Cheese scene, which is cool because of the context of ordered assassinations
