As much as I hate Otto, him being like: "This situation is shit, but we have to do the best we can now" is admirable, if shitty. Also Aegon crying at the end was just heartbreaking. He is exactly what Otto worried Daemon would be. Impulsive, quick to act and slow to think. For all his sins he is still a believable character and him breaking down is just top notch acting.

The acting this episode was phenomenal. Everyone did a fantastic job. Aegon is a horrible person but you still feel sorry for him after seeing him angry and crying after Jaehaerys was brutally murdered. Then we’re reminded how horrible he is when he commits mass murder to kill one guilty man. Helaena is the Green I feel the most for, she’s so sweet and innocent. She doesn’t care about politics, she just lost her son. Typical of Otto to use the murder of Jaehaerys as a political tool. It felt good to see him lose Hand of the King and admitting Viserys was right about Aegon and that Viserys never wanted Aegon as king. We knew Rhaenyra was going to be angry with Daemon for having Jaehaerys murdered. Regardless of intent, it was Daemon’s fault. It was good for Rhaenyra to realise she can’t trust Daemon and how selfish he is. All the murder of Jaehaerys did was vilify her and she had nothing to do with it. It was good to see Aemond admit he regrets killing Luke and that he acted out of temper. Criston Cole is such a hypocrite. He criticises Arryk for his dirty cloak and for guarding Aegon when Arryk is the more honourable Kingsguard. Cole is projecting, he can’t admit his oathbreaking because he’d be executed. He probably sent Arryk as a scapegoat to say he messed up so he went on this mission for redemption. Seeing Erryk and Arryk fight was heartbreaking. Like House Targaryen, they’re divided. Erryk protected his queen but killed his twin in the process. Kinslaying is a terrible crime in Westeros and unable to live with his guilt, he takes his own life.

Considering the way the book was written, as a Maester compiling stories from the Targaryen using mostly unreliable sources decades, sometimes centuries after the events, does not give place to such depth.

Yes, name recycling is very common... many Aegons are on the family tree, and the late son Baelon was named for Viserys' father, and the late Jaherys named after the "old king" we met in the introduction of the first season. And Rhanys (a favorite of many of us) was named for one of Aegon the Conquerer's sister-wives.

Liked your review. About Aegon, I would recommend listening to the actor's interviews (Tom Glynn-Carney). He has such a good grasp on his character, how complicated he is, how he feels too much and is erratic. The irony with Otto as well is that he forced Aegon to be king, but never prepared him for it. Of course Aegon would respond only with emotion rather with a long term vision, as Otto does.

I really enjoyed your reaction to this Angela, and Xander - I hope you read the comments too - great work on turning the edit around so fast and so well! I always have an idea of what to expect. As a huge fan of the world George R.R. Martin created, I've read *all the things* multiple times (thus the user name). What impresses me most about the show are the insanely clever ways the show runner, writers, and directors are telling the story. The source material is scant (this period of time gets only a handful of chapters in Fire & Blood), the 'facts' of it are contradictory, and only the massive events are provable (in world). I've read the books enough, and been a part of the fandom long enough, I feel entitled to say that anyone arguing 'it's bad, it's not what the book said' doesn't know what the hell they're talking about. EVEN knowing the books (yes all of them) as well as I do, I enjoy the discovery of what HotD has decided to do in each episode. In this one, the fate of the Cargyll twins as a 'known point' of the story, meant their deaths were only a matter of time, but, the show managed to give two names in history enough character that I cared about them. Despite being on different sides of the matter, both men have been given integrity, honor, steadfastness, and loyalty. As the episode drew toward the inevitable climax, I was *pleading* with the screen to "please let history be wrong, please let history be wrong..." and my existing dislike for Cole is now a seething hatred, for having led not one, but TWO good men to their deaths. Incredible writing. Incredible acting. Incredible direction. I am LOVING this show.

Book reader, but no spoilers, I swear by the Old Gods & the New! The economy with which they've been telling us this story is truly brilliant, never a wasted scene, bit of dialogue, or character introduction. I believe we're witnessing masters at their craft. The fracturing of the interpersonal/familial relationships on both sides is just revealing how deeply unhealthy those relationships were to begin with. Aegon seeking a motherly figure and solace in a sex worker b/c he derides his own actual mother? Otto refusing to listen to Alicent unburden her conscience? Ailcent callously walking away from her grieving son? Aegon II shunning his Queen and the mother of his slain child??? Daemon Refusing accountability for his direct actions which caused the horrific death of an innocent kid, and then whining about his brother being afraid of his strength? (did that not sound like every asshat who defends their unpopularity by claiming "they're just jealous!") Of course culminating with the heartbreaking fight to the mutual death of the Cargyll brothers :( Rhaenys & Corlys look like the healthiest couple in Westeros by a country mile. *To be fair, they have mutual respect and real love for each other, so #realtionshipgoals In that vein, I'm worried for Bela, she's too bold and brave for her own good. Oh and is there a "I hate Criston Cole & his punchable face" club? I need to sign up for that..

I don't think Otto cares enough for Haelena to know her as a person. If he did know what this would do to her, he certainly wouldn't give a shit. His children and grandchildren are first of all assets in his play for power. He wasn't even that bothered by Jaehaerys's death, he immediately saw it as an opportunity to put dirt on Rhaenyra. Good lord, it's such a dysfunctional family... some therapists could earn a fortune there. I love that the characters are not stereotypically "good" or "bad", they come in all shades of grey. And they have real depth and maybe with the exception of Cole some redeeming qualities. The acting is always on point, but I feel this episode was really outstanding. Especially the scenens with Rhaenyra and Daemon and both scenes with Aegon, the one with the small counsel and the one with Otto. It's such a good show.

Another very good episode but i prefer episode 1. The thing is though criston plan wasnt that stupid because it nearly succeed if the white worm wasnt there than rhaenyra would be dead. Ive been saying this for the longest daemon and Otto r two side of the same coin. They are upset with their kings and queens because neither listen to them, they both want to be in control, and when they not in control they both over step. The only difference between them is that they use different tools to attack their enemies. Daemon uses the blade and otto has his tongue. Anyone else notice the parallel with rhaenyra calling out daemon manipulation in this episode like how Alicent confront Otto with his manipulation in episode 9. Looking forward to ur future video btw.

Technically, if Rhaenys would have considered helping Daemon take out Vaghar and Aemond, the Blood and Cheese incident would have been avoided. I understand that people think Daemon is too impulsive, but he knows what it takes to win and from the beginning he was trying to gain a hold for their side, but he was ignored and eventually it turned out worse.

I think a lot of people have forgotten that Aegon didn't want to be king. he literally ran and hid. He understood exactly what it means to be king and he also knew he wasn't up for it. Aegon is the exact opposite of Joffrey. Aegon has shown he cares for others, and he truly loved his son. I think before Jaehaery's death if Aegon and Rhaenyra had been able to sit and talk, he would have handed her the crown. But thanks to Daemon, that can't happen. I think the scene with him crying is him grieving for his son, hating the crown and feeling surrounded by people who only want to use him, including his own mother and grandfather.

I'm so tired of how everyone treats Aegon in this series and outside of it. No one treats him with any sympathy. I really liked the Scene with Aemond in the Whorehouse with the same lady who eyeballed him in Season 1 when he and Criston visited looking for Aegon. Her playing with his hair as he reveals his feelings towards the Luke incident in season 1 is a good scene. Im also so happy to see Adamm and Alyn Hull. These two characters are among my favorite heroes of the Dance of the Dragons.

Something i love, the queen that never was, is this is the underlying question of the show. Should women be in positions of power? Because with both main characters, we see daemon and otto undercut their words or authority. So even if we "let" women rule the realm, they wont really ever be the one queen but men will lerk in the background moving the chees pieces behind them.
