The ending scene Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenrya but instead Alicent thought he meant those words towards her

"his dad's daughter's sons" also known as nephews🤣

While he wasn't the best king, Viserys truely loved his family. Imo, he made that walk to the throne not for Rhaenerya but for Aemma. The actor not getting any awards for his work in this series is a crime

Daemon is the definition of fuck around and find out. I didn't know if Matt Smith was gonna be good as Daemon when he was cast but holy fuck is he a gem

Sophie is no longer a sweet summer child, I live her non reaction to the man's head being sliced in half😂😂😂😂

Remember Viserys was getting things confused towards the end, so at the end when he was talking to Alisant he thought he was actually talking to his daughter, because Remember her son is also called Aegon.

“His dad’s daughter” his sister’s kids😂

Sophie never ceases to amaze me.....😂😂😂😂. He said nephews...who's he talking about?????? Isn't Aegon and Aemond Rhaenyra's brothers???? Hence her kids are their nephews? Chileeeeee

By marrying the kids together, it guarantees the next heirs have both valeryon name and blood... as if nothing happened. Wich is brilliant and super clutch for house velaryion.

The portrayal of Viserys was heartbreaking, he should have won awards

"This a powerful scene!!!!!"..... but then they continue to TALK through it. 😂😂😂😂 this is always their downfall. Smh

Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra , answering her previous question

Viserys actor really should've won something for his preformance. This episode especially. Also aemond is him.

Everyone knows Rhaenyra's kids are bastards but Rhaenys knows Corlys wanted Lucerys to inherit so she was honoring her husband's wishes but also putting her granddaughters in a safe position. I feel really bad for Rhaenys though, her whole family is dying off, she just has her granddaughters now. There are like 6.5 total Aegons in this universe lmaooooo.

He thought he was talking to Rhaenyra

“He can keep his tongue”

The crown falling of Viserys head was not planned. These happy accidents that make scenes so much more powerful.

Mair! I'm so glad you came around to understand Viserys. He is my guy! This is my fave episode, it's just so moving. Patty's performance as him is just breathtaking and to me, even though Viserys wasn't the most strategic or the toughest King, he was a good King because he was a good man, a family man - compared to many others. He tried his best and kept the peace in the realm for as long as he could. Which is all anyone could ask of a King. Long Live Viserys, The Peaceful! And thank you Patty!

Viserys really was all about family to the last second.

I think you guys would do a lot better if you pause the episode when you talk to each other or at least have subtitles on

Daemon was like say it! Dont slander his woman!! Hilarious 😂😂

i’m absolutely living for the 30 minutes discussion at the end

Remember when Alicent used to be disgusted by Targaryens hooking up? Now her son and daughter are married to each other and she has become a tyrant. Viscerys is a good man and he loved Rhaenyra the most because she was his and Aemma’s child. Daemon helping Viscerys made me cry.

38:30 Sophie just conected something brilliant and doesnt know what and its very suprising. She is basically saying that things that happened in game of thrones, for example raegar and lyanna has to do with internal things of house targeryan. Thats so true... many decisions of the targeryans werw because they were trying to fullfill the prophecy. Raegar was trying to bring about the prince that was promised. House targeryan before reagar did many things and killed many people to keep a prophesied line of the king who was promised ...

Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra when he was talking to Alicent. Because Rhaenyra had asked him earlier about the prophecy. He is pumped with milk of the poppy and doesn't realise it's been hours and Alicent is in front of him. Nephews because Aemond and Rhaenyra are half brother and sister.

Viserys ruled with his heart. He loved his family more than anything. He was like the opposite of Tywin Lannister for example. 😢

Bruuh how loosing an eye and witness the one doing it face no consequence whatsoever would make anyone happy be fr 💀

Vaemond actually proved Rhaenyra correct. Since Rhaenys solved his issue by agreeing to Rhaenyra's proposal. Baela and Laena being bethrothed to Jace and Lucerys ensures Driftmark remains in the Velaryons bloodline and name. Vaemond was xlearly out for his own ambition, Coryls built his house and chose Luke as his heir too.

Love your rants Mair, I really do, but I kinda wish you'd have just enjoyed Viserys walk with more sobriety in order to truly feel the emotional impact of the scene. But you did for the latter half of it though. ^^ Normally, we all end up in tear at that scene. :)

Yesir! Yet another banger. A lot of the scenes in this show feel so poetic

Viserys coming to the throne had me in tears. He was a good king he just let Otto have to much control. Little Nephew didn't want that smoke with Daemon.

No way y’all really thought Aemond was okay with getting his eye slashed out?? The only reason he said it was a fair exchange is because he wanted to placate his mom. But he’s very much still angry about it. And for Luke to laugh in his face about something he use to get bullied with is insane. Especially because Luke didn’t face any consequences for what he did to him. TEAM AEMOND!!

14:41 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.

Remember Maester Aemon from the night's watch? ..... his brother king Egg was pretty good in the early times. And they came after this.

Damn yo victim shaming the maid.

Can you believe Viserys actor wasn't nominated for an Emmy? Ridiculous

That's the same swing of DARK SISTER that cut PRINCE CRAGHAS DRAHAR in half. ✌️

In the end viserys thought he was talking to rhaenyra and he was telling her that she is the one to unite the realm and she is the one that needs to sit the throne. 25:56

When it came to the King doing his duty, he was well played most of the time. We all may not have seen it on the first watch, but Otto persuade the King by having someone else (like the doctor) in the room to agree with him. That swayed the Kings thoughts most of time. But when Otto was giving advice by himself it did not work.

Y’all can’t be serious not knowing Rhaenyra’s kids are Alicent’s kids nephews. Rhaenyra, Aegon, Heleana, Aemond & Daeron Alicent’s other son being raised in Oldtown with Otto’s older brother & heir to house Hightower. All are Rhaenyra’s siblings they have the same father so Rhaenyra’s sons are their nephews. & the twins Baela & Rhaena are Rhaenyra & Alicent’s kids 1st cousins cause their fathers are brothers King Viserys & prince Daemon. It’s definitely a confusing family tree. The queen who never was is also Viserys & Daemon’s 1st cousin. King Viserys standing up for his daughter was so beautiful & his brother helping him. Those 2nd Valyrian sons be wilding with their matching names! Vaemond Velaryon, Daemon Targaryen who’s brother named his son after him just putting the d at the end Aemond Targaryen the one eyed prince! This is definitely the best episode of the season! Viserys thought he was taking to Rhaenyra when he was talking to Alicent when he said she was the one. Alicent misinterpreted him & he was too out of it to realize he was taking to her. He was continuing the convo with him & Rhaenyra when she asked him to defend her.

Love your guys commentary!!! Can't wait for season 2!

Aegon The Conqueror's dream was about Jon Snow. The confusion was because the Targaryen's name too many of their children Aegon. Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra because through Rhaenyra's bloodline, Jon will be born.

This episode always makes me tear up a little. IM NOT CRYING YOUR CRYING! ❤ Viserys the Peaceful ❤

how do u still not know what happened for alicent and rhaenyra to go against each other? alicent defended rhaenyra and was being gaslit by her and that got her father sent away which lwft alicent a lone in a place where she doesn’t know anyone and mind u she is still a young teenager plus rhaenyra doesn’t face consequences for her actions and she doesn’t do her duties as “heir” plus rhaenyra lying to alicent made alicent question if rhaenyra would kill her sons yo secure her place on the throne and she would cuz a son comes first no matter what viserys says.

You are right Mair. From the biggining viserys was a family man. Trying to be a good brother and father... then brother father grandfather husband king. If you see game of thrones... Robert, Joffrey, tomen, robb, renley, stanis, grayjoy, jon, dany, cercei, Mance all gave their full attention to beign king and goverment.... none of them had time to family matters.

Don't know why you became obsessed with symbolism in this episode and thought it was everywhere, but three quarters of the time it wasn't 😂

Oh my sweet Sophie... we have officially desensitized you lol

I love you're reactions guys I just think in some scenes you get really overly excited and talk over a lot of powerful scenes. But keep it up, just thought I'd say my peace.

Good discussion

Pay close attention to HELEANA. She's a DRAGON DREAMER. She dreams of the future. ✌️

yeah man talk over the best scene that’ll be sick lad, post that

I couldn’t hear the flys comment!😂

Great reaction to a great episode.

This is all Otto's doing-he was the one who in Episode 1 started with this 'we should make the princess heir to the throne'. And after that was done, all of a sudden now, this BS about a woman will not be accepted...blah. He caused all this mess and he caused it on purpose!

it’s not poison, the actress for the servant is returning for season 2

I've never seen an actor deliver rhe word "whore" more magnificently.

Daemon straight up has that BDE. And I'm here for his crazy ass!

That head slice made me think it Arya and LF.

Aemond is Rhaenyra's brother, therefore Aemond is the uncle of her children

From what I understand the crown falling off and Damon helping him up was unscripted.

Yes Team Raenyra !! Love you two.

I agree with you Mair. Some politcal things rub up against human nature and the things that make us happy. If theres a way to keep things rolling while fulfilling your happiness then its okay. Its only when your happiness harms others that you need to pump the brakes. I totally get Sophie, though. So many things in life are hypocritical, but we still do them to keep ourselves happy despite the political system or to keep the political system rolling. Like Mair said, thats how our world and HoTD works. Its literally reality. Jahaerys daugthers didnt just go down the drian cuz they didnt listen, Jahaerys isnt some all knowing god. They went down the drain becuase their wants and happiness was put to the side by the political system that said "this is how things HAVE" to be...

Bravo.

There were technically 7 Aegons, including Jon Snow. They called him 6th of His Name in the show but Aegon VI was actually one of the babies killed by the Mountain. Viscerys should've married Laena and waited 2 years for her to have kids. It would've given Viserys extra time to grieve his late wife as wel.. Rhaenyra DIDN'T order Ser Leanor's death in any way! They ordered the death of someone else and make it look like Laenor. She let him go so they could both live the lives they wanted to live. It does suck that she can't tell Rhaenys. Viscerys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra at the end. Alicent didn't know anything about The Song of Ice and Fire. Only Rhaenyra and Viscerys knew because it was info only passed to the next Targaryen heir.

All of rhaenyra kids are Targaryens lol it’s just the white hair. All of them can ride dragons i mean they do have a Targaryen mom. Viserys is not the last sign of a good king lol just last sign of piece like Sophie said idk maybe you just worded it wrong lol

I fist bumped my screen 🤦‍♂️

How’s my man pronounce “Alice”?

Viserys was a horrible king. As Daemon said, he was weak. Rhaenra was his political headache and if he’d disinherited her, the family and the realm would have been much better off. Instead he chose to defend Rheanara’s lies because of the guilt he felt for killing her mother. Even on his deathbed he couldn’t get it right. RIP tho !

viserys is not trying to be the best king 💀 he’s the opposite of what a good king is.

Idk why people care so much about lineage, people be like humans invented numbers and I’m like if that’s true then we also invented family.

Come Mair! Preach dear sir. I was with you thru all your rants. Yes sir agreed with you!!! Team black

Six men or sixty he's still Daemon Targaryen

Yal funny af butchering the whole story 😂 keep tryin tho

Rhaenyra is a chronic liar. And Daemon is a snake.

Rhaenyra has lost my respect; her character causes me nothing but irritation. Given her position and status, she did everything to destroy herself with her own hands. Starting from episode 6, all she does is ask everyone around to help her, while not doing anything like a future queen. As a mother she is certainly good, but as a ruler... It's funny. She gave birth to three bastards, slept with Damon at his wife’s funeral (having recently lost her beloved), because without his support she would have been trampled. She abandoned her father in the hands of the Hightowers, while returning to the capital and making some claims against Alicent, who honestly took care of Viserys. The most funny thing is because of the milk of poppy seeds. The king was rotting alive, how else could he live? Rhaenyra herself reveals at the beginning of the episode that she knows about Alicent's reign and Viserys' position, but she only goes to the capital when her son's inheritance slips away. She tries to attract Rhaenys to her side and asks her for help by depriving her of her own son. Rhaenyra did not propose marriage to Rhaenys's granddaughters until these events, only when she needed support. At night she came to her dying father and started whining again. The funny thing is that this same “queen” in the future will distribute the inheritance of deceased lords to their younger sons, bypassing their older daughters (Rosby and Stokeworth). This doesn't mean I like the green ones, but it does irritate me so much when Rhaenyra is portrayed as a victim who spent the entire second half of the season just begging for help when she needed it. Ugh!

in the books rhaenyra did kill laenor! they just didn’t kill him here because of the team black propaganda

Mair you've had questionable takes but Viserys being a good King? That takes the cake😆 - Good king's don't completely dismiss their children; he never cared about Alicent's kids, thats part of why Aegon is the way he is. - He screwed up Rhaenyra by remarrying. Nobody would've questioned her as the heir if he hadn't done that. - Dont you remember in ep3 I think where the crab people where a threat to the realm and he didnt give 2 sh*ts about it?? It wasn't until Alicent told him to do something... he was too dumb. - His son lost an eye and he was indifferent to it. Thats the book and show telling us it should've been Rhaenys👑!! 😂

Lets be honest.... Jon snow targeryan is the best king westeros couldve ever ask for in the entire westerosi dynasty. Ecen jahaerys cant touch jon snow targeryan.

Team green mothafocas. Raehnera lies and expect people to follow her lies along. She has no real defense bro. I get that aegon sucks... but targeryans own the throne... they are tge blood of the dragon. Rany is a liar.
