Hit that noti bell for that DILF. Oh, and for more reactions I guess.

love how they showed Aemond as the way he really is: just a fking kid with a big toy in his hands, he was bluffing until Vhagar gave him a reality check about what dealing with dragons is really about

The thing is tho that at the end of the day, Jacerys and Lucerys have as much Targaryen blood in their veins as Alicents children do. Even tho they don't look like the traditional ones

How do you come up with Jace being a "hothead"? He's the most responsible, strategy-minded of the three boys. Remember how he handled Aegon's insult about Jace and Baela's future marital relations; he was angry, but controlled himself and delivered a smooth and gracious toast to his uncles.

"She was my only daughter and they killed her, they stole my crown and murdered my daughter, they will pay for this." - Rhaenyra Targaryen All she wanted was to have a daughter, she named her Visenya in memory of Queen Visenya Targaryen, sister-wife of Aegon I The Conqueror Targaryen.

love the "just crashed the family car, my mom is going to kill me" look Aemond gave

the baby was a girl btw in the books rhaenyra named her Visenya, it’s a shame they didn’t talked about it since it could’ve been a good parallel to the 1st episode when a Aemma and Viserys where talking in the bathtub and she said rhaenyra thought it was another girl and that she already chose the name which was visenya

I want to mention that Arrax (exhaling fire) was reacting to being hounded by Vhagar which was really a result of Aemond deciding to bully his nephew in the air. Lucerys was scared and so was Arrax. Unfortunately, the consequence was fatal. Lucerys and Aemond both lost control of their dragons. King Viserys once said that Targaryens controlling dragons is an illusion and he was right.

Rhaenys could not kneel because her husband was still alive and (like it or not) he must be the one that speaks for their house. She was clearly impressed by Rhaenerya though.

Poor Rhaenyra lost her father, lost her baby due to miscarriage and lost one of her sons in a matter a few days 😭😭😭 her birthright was also stolen from her. Rhaenyra has good reason to burn all the bloody greens.

'Then the storm broke , and the dragons danced' George R.R.Martin Great reaction it was a pleasure to follow the season with you guys.

syrax's reaction while rhaenyra's giving birth is supposed to show the connection between dragon and dragonrider. just like in 1x3, when caraxes screamed when daemon got hit by the arrow in the stepstones. its funny to show that since it seems aemond couldnt control his dragon and that makes u question their connection

Dragon dreams have always been nightmares and prophecies of doom. Doom of Valyria, Song of Ice and Fire, beast beneath the boards, Aegon wearing the conquerors crown. Viserys thought his was a good omen that he would finally have a son but it was dire warning of doom. It was a nightmare about his son stealing the crown and throne which caused a massive war that almost destroys House Targaryen, his family and the realm. His son was never supposed to sit on that throne and the Hightowers were never supposed to rule

“The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion. They're a power men should never have trifled with.

"A Dragon is not a Slave"

"Zaldrīzes buzdari iksos daor." (A dragon is not a slave.) ~Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals, the Roynar, and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, Kaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, The Mother of Dragons, the Unburnt, Breaker of Chains "The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion. They're a power men should never have trifled with." ~King Viserys Targaryen, titles, titles, titles... Daemon crowning her like that, just days after setting the same crown on Viserys days earlier, was beautifully tragic. "There has never lived a Stark who forgot an oath." Gotta love that line... two words: Robb Stark. Vermithor, the dragon Daemon was courting, is the second biggest, oldest, fiercest, and most battle hardened dragon alive after Vhagar. That's why Daemon was wooing him with sweet Valyrian lullabies. It is said that Caraxes sings love songs to Syrax. Daemon's dragon lullaby: Fire breather Winged leader But two heads To a third sing From my voice: The fires have spoken And the price has been paid With blood magic With words of flame With clear eyes To bind the three To you I sing As one we gather And with three heads We shall fly as we were destined Beautifully, freely It's a cool and interesting twist to depict it as Aemon taunting, and not intentionally killing Luc. It was depicted as purposeful in the book, and I'll wager thats because his ego will not let him admit he fuked up...but I may be wrong. We'll see next season. I do love the way Ewan Mitchell is playing Aemon One-Eye. Its cool to see him playing a villain after playing such a good guy as "Baby Monk" in The Last Kingdom. ✌️

The strong boys are Targaryen, they are not velaryon. Since the targaryens were one of the dragon lord families in Valyria, only they can ride dragons. Velaryons are also from Valyria, but they were never dragon lords and didn’t have the blood/fire magic that the other dragon lords possessed.

The reason they showed flashes of Rhaenyra's dragon was because the dragon feels when the rider is in pain, at least I'm pretty sure.

the dragon is Vermithor King Jacarys dragon, he is almost as big as Vhagar, Daemon is going to put somebody on him for the wars to come

The crown was also discussed. Perhaps this has been clarified but just in case, Aegon II's crown is Aegon, The Conquerors'. Rhaenyra's of course was Visery's (smuggled by Erryk).

Vhagar really went “and I took that personally” 😅 and “he can keep his eye”

At the end, Rhaenyra had the same look on her face as Dhaenerys did right before she started burning down King's Landing. Rhaenyra told Daemon she couldn't start a war because she's angry. She'll be eating those words next season and Daemon will finally get his war.

The large dragon Daemon was singing to (can't remember its name) had belonged to the old King, the one before Viserys so it has no rider..it's an old dragon like Vagar and is suppose to be the 2nd biggest dragon.

I was like wtf when daemon choked rhaenyra 😂 but I truly understand where he is coming from. He doesn’t want her to be as weak as her father. Viserys was too damn nice where he doesn’t have a backbone anymore. Daemon warned viserys that otto cannot be trusted and he didnt listen. And vermithor the dragon daemon was trying to get to fight on their side is king jahaerys (viserys&daemons grandfather) dragon the old king in episode 1. ❤️ RIP lucerys and arrax. Lucerys is too your and arrax is just a baby dragon 😢

Rhaenys has never been on Allicents or the greens side. Even in ep 8, she told Rhaenyra she must stand alone, so she wasnt on anyone side until Viserys came to support Rhaenyra. She agreed to Baela & Rhaena being bethrothed to Jace & Luke. So not sure why u ever thought she was team Green. She may not of always supported Rhaenyra but doesn't mean she was for the hightowers, so she never switched sides in ep 9. Hence why Allicent came to make a plea for Rhaenys to join team Green instead. & no Rhaenyra lost her first girl baby with Daemon. Her only daughter Visenya. She's such a strong woman, even after all this loss & betrayal. R.i.P sweet dragon boy Lucerys 🖤

Rhaenys was waiting to talk to her husband. She wouldn’t kneel until she was sure. She has her differences with both women but she was gaining respect for Rhaenyra as she responded with restraint and in opposition to all the men (opposite of Alicent). Also, Otto didn’t play the Alicent card. That was Alicent still being hopeful their care for one another would prevent bloodshed. Also, Rhaenyra’s kids are Targaryen that’s why they can dragon ride. They are Valaryeons. That’s the bee in the bonnet. Finally, Daemon was wrong pretty much the whole episode but because he never received the same charge about uniting the realm + him wanting to always fight first.

Blake staring, wide-eyed and unblinking, into the camera at the start of the video...😂😂😂 As soon as I noticed it, I was like, "what the f**k is he doing?" I literally stared back at him to see how long he could go without blinking his eyes. 😂😂😂

"the idea that we control the dragons is an illusion"

Aegon's crown was not "new"; it was old; it was the crown of Aegon the Conqueror, the first Targaryen king. The crown that Ser Erryk brought was worn by King Jaehaerys I and then by his grandson King Viserys (Rhaenyra's dad).

Loved the reaction guys you’ve earned a loyal subscriber. If you remember Viserys tells Rhaenyra “the idea that we control the Dragons is an illusion”.

The dragon is Vermithor - dragon King Jacarys

Her dragon Syrax was feeling her pain thru birth.

She pulled that baby out like a G

Vhagar: “I mean, he can keep his eye”

I’m not trying to shade but one thing that motivates me to watch this group’s reaction is how they seemed to be so slow in catching things😂 it’s absolutely entertaining! Anyhow, RIP Luke and Arrax😢

Mates, is not dumb not to kill Otto when he was delivering a message from the "king". He was acting as a messenger and negotiator. Back in medieval times, it was not allowed to kill a messanger for the act itself was a declaration of war. Furthermore, Rhaenys could and should not have burned the Greens when she had the chance, she does not make the decisions for the House Velaryon, to wich she belongs and shes is not the want usurped of a throne, she is correct in letting Rhaenyra decide. By killing the Greens she would start a war between Driftmark against House Hightower and the loyalists of Aegon II. She is not the leader of her House, her husband is, he alone can make a decision regarding their future and choice of wich side they should support.

Aegon wears a different crown because alicent chose to give him Aegon the Conqueror’s crown instead of the one viserys wore as that one was more for “peaceful kings”

Just one thing Rhaenys does not hate Rhaenyra on the contrary...in the books She was always on her side..

In the book Rhaenyra gave birth to a deformed stillborn daughter, she was born with dragon scales and a tail, same thing happend to Daenerys in Game of Thrones. All Targaryens gave birth to dragon babys. Perhaps this is because the pregnancy is not complete, Rhaenyra was still far from reaching 9 months of pregnancy.

I think Aemond had sorrow as well as an oh Sht moment it was his nephew and he’s still a kid himself. People get mad at Aemond but thing is it was just jumpstarted since the war would have happened anyways, Daemon wouldn’t allow someone not from immediate bloodline on the throne

Well, how right is Daemon really? If it weren't for the prophetic dreams of Daenys, then Aenar and the rest of the Targaryen family wouldn't have left Valyria for Dragonstone roughly a decade before the Doom, and there wouldn't be any Targaryen at all. It's a bit tragic that Daemon, who really wants to embrace his Valyrian nature, should miss this, and that he instead continues to ascribe all the actual magic occurring around him to superstition, despite having a rather magical connection to dragons himself.

I love your reaction!! Just subscribed!! Continue being awesome!

This was a great finale to a amazing season, and I enjoyed the change they made in comparison to the book F&B. Now the events will make a lot more sense especially with the decision makings pre & during the dance, and them not being in full control of their dragon's ties in to the lore of ASOIAF.

the only thing i find that The Blacks did wrong was just send these kids to prominent houses with nothing to offer. Like have some offers ready to go in your back pocket.

The baby was a girl named visyena. In the books she had dragon scales and a small tail.

The thing that people misunderstands is that Targaryens control their dragons, they DO NOT, viserys said it in the very first episode, the riders are bonded but they cannot control them, dany couldn't turn drogon ehen it didn't want to, balerion took its rider to old valeria, silverwing won't fly past the wall even when its rider wanted it to, grrm in his books gave numerous examples that Targaryens cannot control them, they can ride them but cannot control them, they are sentient creatures with their own minds and insticts. The dragon bond however tells a lot in this ep, they showed how syrax could feel rhaenyra's pain when she was giving birth, which means vhagar could feel aemond's hatred for luke, but as a human even if we want to kill someone we don't do it, but dragons don't measure such consequences of war as humans, likewise arrax could feel luke that luke was afraid ( and in the books it is mentioned unlike horses that run away from danger, a dragon's first instinct is to attack) and hence arrax attacked, and vhagar also acted upon its instinct and killed arrax and luke. As of aemond, he didn't been to war, while vhgar has been to war, and aemond miscalculated and thought i might just fuck around with luke, but vhagar being a dragon, it did what dragons do, it killed its enemy. Thats why George in his books said that "we control the dragons is an illusion" P.S that dragon that daemon was singing to is vermithor, daemon's grandfather, king jaehaerys's dragon, second largest dragon after vhagar, and it'll be used by the blacks.

Raenerys had the full out Daenerys crazy look at the end...

The dragon that daemon was singing to is verminthor and he is the 2nd largest dragon in the realm, he belonged to the old king before viserys, now he is riderless

Actually he is wrong. Without _Daenys The Dreamer_ they (Targaryens) would all be dead. They would have died 12 years after she convinced her father of her prophesies... in _The Doom!_

Guys in the book Aemond intended to kill lucerys

Vhagar came at Aarax first by trying to chop his head off twice then Aarax retaliated by throwing fire. You people are not paying attention slow the scenes down and look again. In any case this war was started by that obnoxious, arrogant idiot Aemond. He should have never gone after Luke in the first place. 😒 Dragons are not toys they are weapons of destruction they shouldn't be trifled with.

There is many people blaming Rhaenyra for sending her children off to do messenger duties. I don't blame Rhaenyra for sending her son Lucerys to storms end, storms end is close and the chances for Aemond to have been there was very small, Aemond could have easily been at House Stark or at the Tally's instead. I think it is just pure bad luck that Aemond happened to be there already. If any of the other greens was at storms end none of this would happen because the realm was still in peace that also why Rhaenyra sent her children because the realm still in peace and they were send as messengers not as negotiators or as warriors. Neither Daemon and Rhaenys was able to go instead because they had their own errands to run. So sad that Aemond and Lucerys both lost control over their dragons. And if Aemond did not tease Lucerys then none of this shit would have happened. Aemond just started a war and he knows it. Alicent Hightower going to be very disappointed with Aemond 🤣.

You said you don't blame Rhaenys for switching sides after they imprisoned her. I don't think she was ever team Green. If you go back to episode 8, she stood up for Rhaenyra & Luc and agreed to have her granddaughters marry Luc & Jace. I think from that point on she was team Black.

Otto didnt want the war, he wanted to eliminated them so that there is no war. Otto's move was the best, you go in and get rid of your opposition before they can be ready.

There’s 3 unclaimed riderless dragons Silverwing and Vermithor were the old King and Queen’s dragons and Seasmoke is at Driftmark. This was Vermithor. We haven’t seen the other wild dragons who’ve never been claimed.

Also to note, I've read that the crown falling from Viserys's head in the previous episode was an accident, but Matt Smith stayed in character and they continued filming the scene... The improv made it much more emotional and helped us connect as viewers. It was also Matt's idea to approach Rhaenyra in the last scene, using no words to convey what just unfolded. The guy is brilliant!

This scene goes back to where the series tell Rhaenyra it was an illusion that Valerian and Targaryen controls dragons. Iraq’s was scared. He was trying to protect his rider so he blew fire at Vagher now Wenger went completely against his stronger rider, and he ate Rhaenyra, sis, youngest son, and a baby dragon, and drew first blood in this war. This is what this Siri’s shadowed we do not control the motherfucking dragon. It’s an allusion, and this scene proves that at thousand fold. No one controls the dragon but the dragons

the dragon that daemon was singing to is called 'Vermithor the bronze fury' and it's last rider was jaehaerys who was the king we saw in the first episode opener. I think it's the second largest dragon alive

King Viserys warned in the 1st episode that it's an illusion that humans can control the dragons ("The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion. They're a power man should never have trifled with. One that brought Valyria its doom.") 🤔 We saw in this episode that Aemond messed up thinking he could instigate the dragons & that there wouldn't be consequences for playing with these beasts. Aemond may just have wanted to scare the kid but, realized "I done F***ed up!" 😬It's definitely war now. ⚔⚔🐲🐉🔥🔥

Otto does need to be dead but Rhaenyra killing Otto there would have caused her to lose support as he came as an envoy.

It's the same as a dog. Doesn't matter the size. If a dog is treated and the other is taunting to fight, at one point, you will lose control, and they will try to defend themselves

Omg I can’t tell y’all how much I enjoy this show! I love these dragons and characters so much! Gotta say after watching GOT I rather prefer this pace a lot more even tho I loved GOT

The reaction of Alicent reacting towards Lucaerys death was “Alicent’s face went pale as she said “may mother have mercy on us all” Otto was “Aemond, you lost 1 eye how can you be so blind?”

Now it´s on. Dunno you guys, but in case you cannot wait until season 2, there is a video on youtube were Ser Jorah Mormont reads this book. Oh yeah.

To be fair, Damon did not want to talk to the Meister’s because he’s already faced the decision with a Lena where she could not deliver. He already knows the horrific decision. His brother made to bring the baby out of his queen. He does not want to have to make that decision, so he’s gonna focus on what he knows how to do you, and not something he is completely in equipped to deal with.

29:50. , Aemond has a Sapphire in there

Viserys nous l'avait dis dans l 'episode 1: " les targaryens ne contrôlent pas les dragons". J'espère qu'ils respecterons les personnages dans la saison 2.

The first time we’ve ever seen genuine fear in Aemonds eye

Hubby is out of town for 2 weeks at a time for “work?” Oh honey. He’s slaying bussy out there.

With the backlash to season 8 they had no way to expect the success of this show. Before it started the general consensus was that it wouldn’t be great, my own expectations were rather low, so they definitely needed to wait til it opened to pick up a second season, hopefully they just pick up the remainder of the cycle and we won’t have to wait as long. However, the amount of dragon battles coming up will take a really long time to get correct.

"And with his death, the war of ravens came to an end. And the war of fire and blood began." 😭🤞🏻

The "Aemond was just messing around and it got too far" rhetoric is not it. Rhaenyra was giving birth and we saw Syrax in pain. When Daemon got hit by a flaming arrow in episode 3, Ceraxes felt it. Dragons FEEL the emotions of their rider. Are you gonna tell me that Aemond's emotions did NOT influence Vhagar's "choice" of eating Luke? Also the "Arrax blew fire first" comments are disingenuous because we can all agree Arrax was as nervous as Luke(dragons connected to their rider). Aemond is also the DRAGON RIDER OF VHAGAR. We can all say Luke and Arrax were panicked etc., but why are people not blaming Aemond? His hostility OBVIOSULY influenced the dragon but i seen ppl blaming Luke? Lol You Greens have it coming

If She Attacks The Baratheon seat then the rest likely wont fallow her. They would side with Aegon and It be like Corlys said they dont have enough men to win.

Vhagar gonna finish any fight it's in it's battle hardened

This is Jahaerys' dragon....the former king. I believe it's name was Vorithimere or something another lol

Hello gentlemen. Can’t believe it’s over already. Loved watching your reactions. Cojo. . I hate the feet 🦶 stuff and Otto lol 😂 can’t wait till season 2 . If you gentlemen will be doing it I will be there. Blake your face snd eye reactions perfection ✌🏼. Corey cool as a cucumber. I’m excited to check out your other content ❤️🦬💙🦋

Hey new subscriber! I know I'm late 🤭 but the reason why it'll take longer to come out is because now the dance of the dragon's begins! That's a ton of dragons and locations that are going to have to be cg-ed/ filmed atop still abiding by Covid health guidelines, etc.

Understand that had Rhaenys done that, Rhaenyra could have DISSOCIATED herself from her, leaving the Valyrian House to deal with the 'repercussions' of her actions on their own. The Valryians are NOT really a part of the Realm, they were there BEFORE the Targaryen Household even arrived in Westros and because they are of Old Valryra and they command the sea they are more EQUALS to the the Targaryens. This is why Rhaenys didn't 'bow' before Rhaenyra, she didn't have to bow until her husband AGAIN swore 'fealty' to the Targaryens. They are the only House with that much power.

You could read the first half of the book if you want. It starts with Aegon's conquest and you could read all the way up until the death of Visarys without spoiling the rest.

5:30 😂😂😂

This looks like the beginning of the Black Queen.

Omg cant wait long time bro

Then dragon that Damon is singing to you is verimithor that is king Jahari’s dragon, that he is trying to bond with, and if you look at his eyes at the very end of this scene with him, they bond, which means that he and verimithor 27:19 could cause Hell of problems

As we saw in Game of Thrones, Daenerys controlled three dragons, there is nothing saying demon who is 100% valerian blood a Targaryen blood could not find with another dragon. Nothing is said that there is a only one dragon option. So I really hope we see vermithor with Daemond kicking ass.

that dragon fight kinda reminds me of people playing with guns

It's easy to intimidate a hatchling when you're a 200year old war vet dragon. Too easy. It's also easy to forget that as a small inexperienced dragon, that has bonded with his rider from birth will try to protect him even when he's this small. Lucerys could hardly see anything through the storm, he was relying solely on his dragon. Where it not for Aemond's attempt to scare them, Arrax would never have attacked for no reason. But he had to protect his owner. And Vhagar could not take fire from this puppy and do nothing about it.

I didn't knew Jay White made reactions 😂😂😂😂 the guy with the long hair, he looks exactly the same as Jay White from NJPW 💪💪💪

teamdaemon because he is the only one who knows that the hightowers have been the problem from the beginning he told his brother I will take care of anyone but his brother I never trust him and there is the result that is what I like about daemon's character because that he can be good or bad with anyone but the only thing that matters to him is his family and he does everything possible to protect them

Not sure if you guys are HP fans or not, but the actor that plays Otto also played Luna's dad

Thank you 😊

The irony of the dragon scene at the end, for me, was that Aemond being blinded by his hatred for Luc is what actually starts the war... Ironic, since he has but one eye, the other having been taken by Luc...

I regret watching this reaction mentioning a spoiler.. damn it!

Otto Hightower's face always looks like he's farted and thinks he's gotten away with it. 🙄 😑 😒 😐 🤣 😂

You all look tired in Australia we get the episode Mondays at midday.

IDK why so many people are like: it was the dragon, not Aemond. The show is great, but I find the writing sometimes not consistent (thanks to the fact that each episode is made by someone else etc.). Daemon and Aemond are standouts to me. Like that choking scene, what was that lol? Or him killing his wife in the vale. Or choosing to portray Aemond as anything other but a dickhead. The face he makes after that horrible chase ends is just funny - what did he think would happen? And what were the writers thinking? Are we going to blame just the dragons now, yeah? There are also his emotions feeding into this, so it's funny their choice was to make him "lose control" or whatever. They softened him here, in the books it's clear what he wants to do to Lucerys and that he does not care about kinslaying. And he is what here, 19? Not a child. Lucerys: "I will not fight you. I came here as an envoy, not a knight." Aemond: "You came here as a craven and a traitor. I will have your eye or YOUR LIFE, Strong." (Also Borros's daughter Maris taunted Aemond, asking him if Lucerys had removed his balls as well as his eye, and Aemond became enraged. And one version of history claims Aemond located Lucerys's corpse and removed both of his eyes to present them to Lady Maris(Borros's daughter) on a bed of seaweed. So make of that what you will.)

No, the lil Man lucerys and he doesn’t want doesn’t want drift mark because it means that everyone else’s dead and considering he gets green sick without even getting on the water he’s probably not feeling very much like a sailor at this point

Yeah most common spoiler was arming being a nephew killer

I got spoiled on that too

To answer your question, the war last 2 years but the future seasons will have a slower pace. Season 1 was only the set up, and there are no going back after Luke's death. In the books it's not an accident but it doesn't make quite sense why Aemond decides to kill him by his own accord, as it is kingslaying and will start the war. So making it a mistake is much much better. It's 2024 because HBO did not know the series would be that successful, and season 2 will require A LOT of post production.

I won't be a queen of ashes and bones oh I heard this before
