What i love about Jody is that he is very passionate. Does he have trash takes sometimes? Oh yes😂 Does he miss a lot of conversations because he talks over? Hell yeah. BUT None, but none of the reactions i watched on KZfaq have the same raw emotion Jody gives maaan. I love the fact that he doesn’t ruin his thoughts because of the books, in this case, book readers. And i like that he doesn’t jump with the lambs in the Alicent hate group. Yes she kinda sucks sometimes, but she is not this crazy villain like she is in the books. I mean who the fk wants to see a bitter step mother hating on 9 y old Rhaenyra? Go watch fkn Cinderella, or Snow White, or Sleeping Beauty… if y’all like boring plot, go ahead. Alicent’s depth in this show is just fantastic. Great reaction Jody, you be you.

Baela was instructed not to take action.

Rheanyra brought the knife to stop Alicent from screaming out before she can say anything. If she didn’t have the knife she could have gotten captured or killed.

Jody.... You trippin. first of all, Baela was only supposed to scout and report back about their possible position. And if that dragon does spoit fire into those woods, or even when they entered, those woods are gonna catch fire and they will know what happened. Plus, it's not good for the story to kill alicent's brother and lover already. That is not how cole dies bruh. You need to chill and the story play out. this is good shit we are watching. This isn't the last season of GoT, this isn't "and just like that," this is The Acolyte. This is good writing and a plot that is going somewhere.

Baela knew it was Cole because his King’s guard armor is different from regular knights

Matt Smith (who plays daemon) and George R.R.Martin (the writer of the books) both say daemon loves Rhaenyra, and despite of his bad actions and his desire for power in the past, he is extremely loyal to her now. They had a FIGHT in the previous episode, and he still went to Harrenhall to claim it and I swear to you he is going to fight for her and die for her if it comes to it. If he wanted the throne, he would've done a dissaster by now. He doesn't want the throne, he supports Rhaenyra, he even supports JACE being the heir instead of his children with her. He only disagrees with her decisions, because he thinks she is the same as Viserys who was a passive king, and not very good at rulling. I like your reactions though, they are real

the letters sent when aemond kill luke for apologize to rhaenyra. not when haelena kid beheaded. alicent is not good as you think, don't forget she's hypocrite too.

"We went to war. If it's a lie, then we fight on that lie." - SLIM FROM THE WIRE

E-man called it! Put some respect on his name. War was inevitable and Alicent aint shit.

“Sir Bron of the black water”

He called Raenyra YOUR GRACE. the bad twin would never call her that.

That last convo was a HUGE turning point. Rhae knows there was no deceit, or spite here and it was a genuine misunderstanding for Alicent. Should really change how Rhae approaches things now, I think she'll try and limit bloodshed.

The thing is, this book (I’m talking about “fire & blood”, the book house of the dragon is based on, not every “a song of ice & fire” book) is written in a way that’s basically not a reliable source. Meaning, it was documented by the maesters but it’s not 100% how everything went down, it’s embellished for the history of westeros. It’s kind of hearsay, the book is mostly true but might fill in areas they don’t know for sure. The show is supposed to be the actual events of the story so things will be different from the book.

Rhaenyra should have known Alicent is powerless now. Mysaria should have informed her prior to allowing the KL adventure. People who watch the show (not book readers) will recall Otto had the plan for Aegon II succession in the works years before Vicerys died. Whether Alicent misunderstood Vicerys before he died or not the plan was in motion. The Dance of Dragons would have happened regardless. Things to keep in mind based on what the show has told us… 1. Vicerys made this mess because he was not a decisive king and ignored all the red flags that were blaring. 2. Vicerys told Alicent during the Royal hunt when they were at the fire and he had been drinking that he had a dream and his son would be king. He specifically said when he named Rhaenyra he had no idea he’d have a son. He was sure of his dream. So her interpretation of what he said on his deathbed was in line with this conversation. 3. Rhaenys told young Rhaenyra that the realm would never accept her as queen. Her specific words were that the realm would sooner tear itself apart than see a woman ascend the Iron Throne. She has told Corlys the same thing when Vicerys came to Driftmark to propose a match with Laenor and Rhaenyra. She said the knives will come out for Rhaenyra. 4. Alicent and Rhaenyra are surrounded by men who don’t take them seriously. Alicent is powerless to maneuver through court and get the result she wants. Aegon wasn’t crowned because of Alicent’s misunderstanding. He was crowned because Otto had the plan in motion for years. Rhaenyra was naive to think Alicent could stop the war. Her own council wants her out of sight because they think they can orchestrate the war better. Both Aemond and Daemon killed children on the other side. The war is unstoppable unless Rhaenyra gives up her claim. Even then Daemon would not allow it. So blaming Alicent is like blaming Rhaenyra for the death of Aegon’s son. It was done by her side but not on her specific orders. It’s out of control. The genie is out of the bottle. War is inevitable unless one side bends the knee to avoid death and destruction. Neither side is capable of doing so.

the director confirmed those are the eggs the black is drogon the green is rheagal the yellow/gold one is verserion maybe the blue one gets lost or something

Jory, you’re absolutely right about the eggs. One hatches for Rhaena. The other three are Danys babies.

DAEMON IS NOT THE USURPER 10 episodes of the 1st season to prove it and yet reactors behave like it's the very first episode.

Alicent has no power at all. Heleana actually has more power than Alicent has, think about that. There is nothing at all Alicent can do. Even if she could, why would she? Aegon would be a usurper to the throne, treason, executed. Aemond killed Luke, executed. The council all committed treason, all executed. So basically everyone she knows would be executed. It is too late to stop anything, even if she did have the power, which she does not. When Aegon asked Rhaenyra to submit to the crown he gave terms.. she would be given dragonstone, her sons would all be giving high rank and position. No one was going to be executed. Why didnt Rhaenyra offer terms? "When you play the game of thrones you either win or you die". Also keep in mind, no one believed Alicent anyway, just the other episode Otto told Aegon that Viserys did not want him as heir. When Alicent told the council, everyone looked around like yeah... right.

I’ve legit been watching this channel since I was a senior in high school back in 2017 when I was 16-17. now I’m 24 and still enjoying watching this channel with jody and his team.

It was confirmed that the eggs were indeed drogon, viserion, and rhaegal from the show writers! 😁👍

Jody’s be Watching that shit not uneerstand what happening 🤣🤣🤣

You are doing to much just reaching..smh

Damnit Jody, about that scene with dragon-on-Cole: She WASN'T SUPPOSED TO ENGAGE! Rhaenyra specifically directed her NOT TO ENGAGE!!!! THAT'S why she didn't fry those mother-douche-freakers! Not because she couldn't, or the director was wrong or whatever. Pay freaken attention to the conversation in the council afterwards, she already basically overstepped her instructions just by doing that flyover that closely. You could of course argue with the appropriateness of those instructions from Rhaenyra, but that's neither here nor there: her direction was to NOT engage, so Baeyla (sp?) probably wanted just to scare them and/or ascertain their identity, and via an already too-risky, too-close approach. So, you disrespectful reactor, stop thinking that you are the smartest S since smart S and questioning some of the best film directors in the world because you think that you are better-informed after 10 seconds of watching a clip of an episode. The merit of the direction is composed of multiple layers that you cannot parse within a few seconds of interaction, all while battling your co-hosts concurrently, and barely displaying even the most-modest modicum of honest humility throughout. To be fair, you might have included additional qualifications pertaining to this scene on the "full" Patreon reaction -- but I do not currently have access to that, and just like you chastise your viewers for interpreting your TV-show reactions relative to the books, which you have not read; similarly, I am interpreting your KZfaq reactions without reference to your Patreon full deal -- the KZfaq reaction should stand on its own in a fully-coherent, internally-consistent manner, regardless of what the Patreon version offers to its viewers. All that said, still quite an enjoyable reaction, and of course I understand that your arrogance and grandstanding are part of your style and the marketing of your content to your audience, along with the correlated conflict with your co-hosts -- all good for me as a viewer. I stopped my previous Patreon subscription partially because your arrogance and the disrespect displayed towards you co-hosts overstepped my boundaries of proper comportment, but I will probably still re-join at some point. Continue what you're doing, but please, tone the arrogance down a bit, towards both: professionals who (although you are absolutely entitled to criticize them within your ethical rights as a viewer) are operating on an elite level that you will just not be able to understand sufficiently without some more profound study (i.e., deep-dive...), as almost nobody could; and towards your co-hosts, whose opinions are just as valid and carefully considered as yours, usually. I think the quality of your production would strongly benefit from a moderating touch. But of course, what do I know? -- feel free to defensively dismiss and attack, in line with the aforementioned tendencies. Good video regardless!

They confirmed that this are Danny's eggs

I'm so disappointed in HBO, I can't believe they skipped the battle of "Burning Mill". It's supposed to be one of the bloodiest battles that set the tone for the rest of the war.

I can’t stand by seeing daemon getting dissed like this so here’s what’s up, When he said call me “your grace” it’s because they dont have a term of how the queen’s consort who’s not the “king” should be addressed and he’s making new terms as he moves. The 7 kingdoms never had a queen so such terms don’t exist. When daemon entered the hall. The lord strong swore to serve rhaynera and not daemon. Daemon never tried usurp his wife, in fact he’s been trying his best to give her whatever she needed, he’s rash and impulsive, but loyal, he’s a warrior and he can’t sit still but he wants the glory for his house to restored.

Jody look at season 1 GOT eggs, they're petrified showing how old they are. I'm not sure if they're Dany's eggs but it's possible. They look very similar in color.

Don’t let em gaslight you bro, Moondancer should’ve BBQd that Criston Cole goofball.

I don’t think you understand at this point if she starts sending out dragons, she is sending out her children to fight.

Showrunner confirmed these eggs are Dany's

22:18 it could definitely be them you guys ( red=drogon , yellow=viserion, green = rhaegal)

Daemon being called “prince” undermines Rhaenyra. He is not a prince anymore. He is the King consort. Many times they are called “your grace.” Once Alicent is Queen consort, she is called your grace a bunch.

your right Jody Allicent cant stop it now she even said to Rheanerya Otto is no longer hand of the king so she is powerless and so is Otto the war is happening its too late Allicent haters want to use this to there adavantage

Alicent said "there's been no mistake". Her face shows she knows what's up, but she is choosing to double down. She is standing on business because, yes, it's too late and too much has happened, yes, she is powerless, and yes, she could get murked.

I'm Completely Team Black, and what Jody is saying right this is a very nuanced conversation, I will say Alicent knows shes wrong and she also said there was no mistake and there's no putting this back in the tube. She is afraid of her sons and what they're capable of.

Me Every Time Jody Picks the logical Middleground: HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!!!!😭

You liked that last scene? I hated it from a logistics standpoint. I just don’t think that it accomplished anything for Rhaenyra besides putting herself in danger because even if Allicent agreed with her than what could they both have realistically done? Nothing is the answer. It’s too late to stop Daemon and Aegon and Aemon etc.

Just FYI...Arryk (Team Alicent) was the one who said "you parted us"...which is basically the same thing he said about Erryk to Criston Cole earlier in the episode. That's how I was able to determine who was who.

I'd say Rhaenyra holding a knife is ironic because the last time they were face to face, it was Alicent who raised a knife to Rhaenyra for revenge against Aemond losing his eye. "Now they will see what you are." That's some foreshadowing for yo' ass!

Rahaenyra’s father specifically refused the poppy of the milk because he wanted to have his full faculties at his final meal with his family and he proclaimed his daughter as in line to the throne in front of everyone. Minutes before the King’s death while hallucinating on the milk of the poppy he starts talking, he doesn’t know who he is talking to, the only name the King actually said aloud in that episode was his first wife, that’s how medicated the King was. I am glad Rahaenyra took a weapon to protect herself, she would have been stupid not to she didn’t know what the reception would be. I am team black, but I think Alicent is still in shock about what Rahaenyra revealed to her, but I will hope she tries to make amends by the next episode

lol at the passion to turn anything into dichotomy

There are many sides to a story depending on who is telling it. Viserys first thought it would be his son. Didn't work out. "Oh, it must be my daughter." Alicent gives birth to his first son. "Oh I didn't dream I would have a son. Was I wrong? Oh well." EVERYBODY hears what they want to hear. Daemon and Otto are fighting for their HOUSE. Alicent is fighting for her kids. Rhyneara is fighting because she believes she alone can save the world. Everybody is bugging.

Alicent power is weaker now, but she still has some power because when cole said we full over here(before he rode off) she was like well make room(for her brother). He did it in a heartbeat

This was really good love this channel

Jody, your reaction to that ending scene, goosebumps.

Those eggs are confirmed to be Daenerys dragons

Alicent sent the raven before the baby was killed.

Such a misunderstanding of Daemon’s character.

So what exactly some people expected Alicent to do? Just go to tell Aegon (who’s son just have been killed) give up the throne to Rhaenyra? Alicent doesn’t have any power, it’s too late. And Otto and others was planning to take the throne already before Viserys died so that wouldn’t changed anything even if Alicent wasn't involved in it. Just made it easier

wanna watch but it’s a pain hearing jodi talking about something completely wrong 🤦🏾

Jody you are point with your perspective between Alicent and Rhaenyra

Is E Man acoustic?

They are Danny's eggs they are fresh and new so the colours are bright by the time Danny gets them they are basically dead eggs that have fossilised 100s of yrs old no one thought they was gonna hatch she was given them a a decoration gift

It was 172 years before Danarys not 300 years so it would make sense if those are the eggs

Its 170 or 180 years before Game of Thrones not 300

Yall forget she was ordered not to engage... Burning a forest down

You can see these guys don't pay any attention to the show's context and dialogue, still arguing about which twin was the last standing before he offed himself fgs. So you rather want Baela to burn Cole and his party alive and instigate a war that hasn't even started yet when she got clear instructions not to engage in battle. She recognized Cole from the back by his hair and kingsguard armor when she came up close not when she was hundreds of meters up in the sky. Use your goddamn brain if you have any. Raenyra having a dagger is just for precaution. She didn't know what was gonna happen when she approached Alicent.

Jody is spot on about Alicent.

Bad episode imo. That conversation delivered everything I predicted. Rhaenrya is the sanest Targaryen we have ever seen probably. She came in with a theme of their friendship and concern for people of the realm. First response he got from trash Alicent is "You don't have armies, you can't win" blablabla... She knows she is deep in this and she doubled down on it. Going into a war knowing that she was wrong all the time. Everything we have seen from Alicent, her way of talking and thinking turned out to be true. She is a cunning, power hungry corrupt individual.

Alicent sent the letter before jaherys was killed

The guy in the middle with the pink shirt needs to stop intimidating the two others and let them speak their minds !!! Oh and Daemin isn't trash ; he is an interesting complex character...

Idk if you guys have seen the series but I would love to see you guys also react to The White Queen it’s based on true royal history that this novel was based on according to George R. R. Martin. Real families fighting and killing each other for the throne it was really crazy. So in case y’all haven’t seen it I think you’d have a solid following when it comes to that show. It’s on STARZ.

I feel for daemon though... Both him and rhaenyra were correct in there argument... The only thing her and her father didn't trust him... But he didn't do the things they don't trust him for... I believe him... He hasnt actually lied to anyone in his family... Not even once... Check the show

I hate how Rhaena is being done. Her egg should be pink and she should hatch it and they’re just trying to erase the canon character nettles. I kinda hope some of the writers for S2 get replaced. Then on top of that only baela and Rhaenys care about her everyone else is cold and dismissive

Rhaenyra did get through to alicent... There just as nothing she can do... She now knows she was wrong... Did you hear her choke on "the conqueror"?

Daemon demanding to be called 'Your Grace' isn't him declaring himself King. The consort of the ruler is always called 'Your Grace.' Alicent and Cersei were both called 'Your Grace.'

This episode highlights how both Rhaenyra and Alicent are two women struggling with power in a male dominated world you see how one of the men in rhaenyras council openly disrespects her and the men in the green council just glosses over Alicents approach for peace

why does jody keep crying about rhaenyra and alicent not wanting to go to war but harp on baela not lighting criston up or looking for the "nearby army" that may or may not be there?

Daemon using the style Your Grace is treason. He is King Consort and his proper title is Prince Daemon. Most viewers missed this detail because they fawn over Daemon and no matter what he does he looks so cool doing it. Lord Simon Strong understood the meaning of what Daemon was doing and that’s why he was so hesitant to use it. Treason is treason.

I gotta say this Jody is 100% correct.

Aegon will listen to her after next episode!

Although i understand Alicent and her tough position, she is still easy to dislike for multiple reasons. A few examples would be her ignoring her son crying over his dead son... instead of comforting him, she goes off to bang cole. And Alicent was upset at rhaenyra for banging cole 20 years back... Alicent has a little hypocrisy in her. Also, when rhaenyra lied to Alicent about sleeping with him, Rhaenyra said "i swear this on the memory of my mother" and Alicent used those same words in this episode... Alicent is so petty for using the same words smh. She been holding that one in for years. I don't understand how you fault Rhaenyra for not opening the letters for possible peace and then accept it when Alicent leaves saying "it's too late". Of course I agree with Alicent its been to late way before that... but when you wanted rhaenyra to open the letters, I just shook my head. Both sides lost sons, Peace was never a option at that point. However, im not trying to convince you to dislike Alicent, but she isn’t an angel you make her out to be. She is as flawed as most people in the show.

In too deep at this point I feel the need to stand by Alicent all day

Now alicent knows that her husband didn't want her son as the king yet she still chooses to say nothing. Also she should have screamed and had her gaurds come in and take rahneyra, alicent would have died but this war would have ended

Where is the Kode?

Aight jodi... Partially right... She's not scared... But there is nothing she can do

E man is right

Jody the only mf who gets me

Do they watch it first then record? They way they manage to have the most ridiculous conversation literally seconds before the answer has to be a plan

She was told not to attack them just spy

Big Boy dnt think at ALL he just be TALKING amd doesnt LISTEN....all his bs reasons are being told IN THE SHOW why its wrong or not done lol

why we keep blaming Rhaenyrafor the baby... that was all Daemon.

And don't get me wrong I feel for both of them..also know it's to late but reaching

good episode series still hard yo vet used to but good show

Facts

I 100% agree with you Jody!! Thanks for always having the best insights and not being blindly biased 👏

You keep bringing up the death of the baby as if the greens didn’t kill rhaneya’s son first , he was a child too, don’t keep bringing up the baby as if she didn’t lose her son first ..

Freak the team black/team green shit. Been team Rhaenyra since day one!

Chill think

That’s why I tweeted what I tweeted you… Alicent can DIE lol Told truth and “no mistake”

Umm-Hmm I thought you were Team Green last season..... I told Alicient was a Hypocrite.

Daemon is nothing but LOYAL to Rhaenyra to the very end. Read the book.

Those eggs are Dany’s eggs!! In the book it’s supposed to be Dreamfyre’s eggs, but in the show looks like they were Syrax’s eggs (Rhaenyra’s dragon)!

Thank you Jody for being one of the few men who actually understands Alicent's character. I'm worried about your friends not realizing that Alicent was a 14 year old CHILD when Otto pimped her out and Viserys groomed her to marry her. Viserys had no business marrying his daughter's childhood bestie either but no one blames them for hat they've done. Alicent is a complex character, she's powerless, she's extremely alone and is being eaten alive by guilt, that's why she fucked that loser, as a form of self-harm. I think Alicent will become a double-agent to try to right her wrongs to Rhaenyra without being caught, she knows Aegon and Aemond are gone. Rhaenyra and Alicent incredibly conflicted characters.

E man right

Jody is always wrong in this show 😂

the good came for Rhaenyra she wants to talk to alicent to avert war, Rhaenyra the one who did this risk move, not alicent. not because shes reading the letter from alicent for apologize to Rhaenyra dead son.

4!

Heck naw, this wasn't the best episode of the series. This was a mid episode as a whole, and it's been two mid episodes in a row, including last week's. Rhaenyra going to King's Landing was STUPID, but I understand why she went. She's meant to rule, not be a martyr, and throw her life away carelessly. Rhaenyra knows she's exposed; she was nearly assassinated by one of the twins, Daemon, her husband and go -to guy is gone, and they're on the outs, they have no army (yet), and she was so exposed that she sent her younger children to Essos. Baela and Moondancer should have done SOMETHING, even if not destroy Cristen Cole and his company in the Riverlands; that sequence was an instance of trailer trickery, and NOTHING became of it. This episode was a C+ or B-.

Estoy arta de q esta serie dicen q las mujeres no quieren guerra solo los hombres 🤷 q tiene de malo q las mujeres quieran guerra y defender lo suyo Lo mas estúpido es la conversación de rhaenyra y Alicent forzando una amistad q ya terminó ase mucho y q aburre y despues de todas las muertes q a pasado ambos equipos 😅🤷 aun rhaenyra quiere paz no tiene sentido Se enoja con daemon y ella va arriesgar su vida para. Buscar la paz igual no tiene. Sentido Y ustedes no entienden el personaje de daemon el es la persona en el equipo de los negros q ace lo q se tiene q acer y q no ace rhaenyra 🤷
