What's up, Knights, and welcome back to another reaction and commentary to the brand new House of the Dragon episode, 1x8, 'The Lord of the Tides'.
Man... this was so heavy, so deeply emotional. We were honestly not prepared to be so moved by the filmmaking, particularly the masterful acting of powerhouse Paddy Considine which was gracefully moving in tandem with Ramin Djawadi's score in THAT moment, or as we'd like to call it, Viserys' Swan Song, and arguably the most powerful moment in this show. Other honorable mentions that have impacted us so earth-shatteringly, are Eve Best and Wil Johnson who have brought such dimension with subtlety and ferver with their acting and presence.
This episode was such an enlightening move in storytelling, showing us multiple shades of each character as they move through the treacherous fields of the Game of Thrones and it has only deepened our awe of this show.
What did you guys think of this episode?? What was your favorite moment in this masterclass of storytelling?
As a reminder, for those of you who have read the books - please refrain from issuing any spoilers in your comments as we will be forced to apply a temporary ban. And as always, we can't wait to read more of you guys' thoughtful breakdowns!
Thank you guys for your support, once again, we are truly honored and humbled by how much you guys have been showing up for us!
Take care and see you at the next one!

The crown falling off was an accident. Matt picking it up and helping Paddy to the throne was all improvised by Matt, and they left it in cause it was so good.

The best scene is the one with Daemon helping Viserys get to the throne. He even crowns him. That is what Daemon always wanted, to be by his brother’s side, to protect him and advise him. Viserys first mistake was to deny Daemon the Hand of the King.

Unlike all the other children Aemond grew up fast both in physique and maturity. He’s been training like a madman for 6 long years. He’s now on the same level as Daemon, and Criston in terms of physical prowess. He’s also very intelligent and calculated and shows restraint when necessary. All of that on top of the fact that he has the biggest dragon. There are few as capable as Aemond.

No one disrespects Daemon's pregnant wife, Vaemond deserved it.

The key line with Vaemond was when he said "you will not decide the fate of mine" (house) Lord Corlys, who does in fact decide the fate of their house had already decided. Not to mention that the marriage would have guaranteed Veleryon blood on the Driftwood throne showed me it was his own greed, not what was best for his house that got him killed.

... the end scene between Vicerys and Alicent is very important.... Vicerys thought he was talking to Rhenyra because of the earlier scene when she was sitting on the bed talking about the prince who was promised and the song of ice and fire... Alicent thought he was talking about their son Aegon because she has no idea about the prophecy... But in fact he was talking about Aegon the Conqueror... This misunderstanding is huge and will have horrible consequences.

I know it's a reaction video. But you don't have to talk every three seconds over everything, just to say something.

Rhaenyra previously asked Viserys if he believes the prophecy of prince that was promised. And Viserys high on milk of the poppy thought Alicent was Rhaenyra and replied to that question Rhaenyra previously asked him. He said yes it is true and you should be the one to make sure that the Aegon's prophecy of prince that was promised comes true. But Alicent misinterpreted that. She thought Viserys was saying their son Aegon is the prince that was promised and she needs to make sure of it. In his final moments he was actually seeing Rhaenyra. That's why he was saying "my only child". Then towards the end when he raised his arm and said my love, right before he died, he was seeing Aemma. Towards the end he only saw two people that really mattered to him.

"As in hopefully the blackmail has worked" - My guy. It's not 2022. Alicent had nothing to fear from the servant girl. Princes didn't get prosecuted for SAing servants. Even the idea would be absurd. On the contrary Alicent was trying to save her life. The moment the girl accuses the Prince of any transgression, they would just have her whipped & thrown in a black cell or do what Roose did to Ramsay’s mom. The concept of her being the actual victim here wouldn't even cross anyone's mind. So the Queen hugging & showing compassion to her was damn near a revolutionary act. Alicent telling a servant "I believe you" would be unbelievably progressive for that time period. Please don't transplant 21st century morality on characters in a medieval setting (impossible).

From Andy in Hot Fuzz to King Viserys Targaryen, Paddy not even being nominated for an Emmy is beyond ludicrous.

What really got me was not only just Viserys but Daemons reaction to seeing his brother that way

Thinking back to GOT, I don't think there's been a main character as wholesome and good hearted as Viserys was. Truly a character that will be remembered in the years to come, might be crazy to say but even more so than Ned Stark ever was (idc if my opinion's controversial). He was such a loveable guy and huge props to Paddy Considine's performance what an amazing actor the real MVP of the show alongside Matt Smith!

If Luc were to inherit Driftmark right now he would still have a regency because he’s not of age. So he wouldn’t actually be in charge of the fleet. More knowledgable and trusted people would be, while he was learning and growing old enough. So the age ploy is just that, a ploy.

It’s so deeply moving to hear Viserys call out to Aemma with his last breath because it just further proves that he considers her and Rhaenyra his TRUE family. We see his love for them so many times over and Paddy did such a great job as Viserys. ❤

I dont know if u realize Alicent has been changed in this 6 years, she has redeemed herself to religion (faith of the 7). She doesnt behave as reckless as she did. She is not a saint tho surely :D Also, Otto made a plan for daemon and Rhaenyra not to welcome them, we can see that when they were in small council. When the kingsguard came into the room (he says I did everything as u wish my hand, then Alicent surprised to hear it). It shows that Alicent doesnt care political games or revenge against Rhaenyra much. Also she said that u will be a good queen, then Otto seemed really surprised. She really cared Viserys too.
