Alicent when she founds out theres more than one Aegon : 😱😩

You guys notice Moondancer TOLD Baela of Christen and the troops she was looking elsewhere and Moondancer saw them and looked their direction and did a little roar to tell her...just a detail I noticed and LOVED....also that's an fast an agile lil dragon I'm glad the at least showed that off

Harrenhal is kind of like a living creature, it’s dead and living walk its halls alike.

There has never been a King Consort in Westeros before, so naturally there will be confusion as to how to address Daemon.

I kinda agree with Alicent in the last scene...it's too late to end war at this point and she has no control to end it.

8:21 when whiteworm said "you think he's lonely" they implied that leanor just passed (off screen death) and maybe rhaenyra realized it that's why she had that expression

It doesn't matter if Alicent misunderstood Viserys' last words, the council and Otto were already planning to put Aegon on the throne. If Alicent tried to remove Aegon from the throne it would be treason, and she could be beheaded by Aegons' order. She can't do anything at all, the wheels are already in motion. But knowing Viserys always wanted Rhaenyra on the throne will definitely play a role in her state of mind, imho. The woman serving the men on the pub was the maid that was assaulted on season 1 episode 8 by Aegon and to whom Alicent gave money and the plan b tea. The titles at the begining are changing episode by episode by adding new details, this week they added the child's beheading and the rat catchers being hanged.

I mean whether alicent was mistaken or not, the council already had plans to crown aegon, so it’s really not her fault, and even if she was on board with rhaenyra at this point, she ultimately has no power over anything anymore. Aegon is the king at this point and he’s the one with the dragon. Things are too far progressed on both sides with the death of jaehaerys and Luke, and neither alicent or rhaenyra would be willing to give up Daemon or aemond, respectively. Alicent is right, it’s too late.

At 20:50 the barmaid that gets slapped on the butt by ults friend is the same maid that was assault by aegon in season 1. She went from being a lady in waiting for the royal family to being a random barmaid all because aegon couldnt control himself. This season fleshes aegon out alot but it still reminds you of the horrible things he did in the past

I didn’t know when Aly rivers (crazy witch lady) Was gonna show up… but trust she will definitely show up more than once 😅

Now Rhaenyra can move forward with FULL conviction that she is right to claim the throne - even with all out WAR!

I’m not sure if you guys are aware of this, but in the books, House Tully is named after the Muppets. The show already mentioned Lord Grover Tully who is still alive at this time but he has a son named Elmo and two grandsons named Kermit and Oscar. Kermit and Oscar Tully are very important figures for Rhaenyra’s side during the civil war. I don’t know how the show will introduce them but I imagine we will be meeting those characters soon enough. Also House Blackwood is pretty important to the war as well, their Lord, the very young 11 year old Benjicot Blackwood won quite a few key battles. I don’t know how the show will present the Houses Tully and Blackwood characters but I hope we get to see them soon.

Daemon did not run away. Since S1E10, he has been talking about capturing Harrenhal for Team Black.

You have met Alys Rivers aka the witch of harenhall

I don't think Otto care what Alicent heard from the dying breath of King Viserys. He would just make shit up on his own to usurp Rhaenyra's throne.

Brilliant episode. My god seeing harrenhall was awesome. The ending between Rhaenyra and Alicent was heartbreaking. Best show on TV

33:50 Yet again Blake being clueless. There’s nothing either of them could do to stop it.

I hope Rhaena hatches her dragon morning and stays away from this dumb chaos

Team Blackwood for sure, even more now they know their rightful queen 🖤 And dear Blake, you do well to remember these names, they where here before (in ep.4 when Rhaenyra is playing Tinder and two boys fight, the younger was a Blackwood and the older was a Bracken) and will be back. Their feud exist since the Age of Heroes, continues till GoT times and will probably go on forever hahah Harrenhal is the largest castle in Westeros and was finished right when Aegon landed in the continent to conquer. Harren, the Black during the war hid in his castle imagining he and his sons would be safe from Balerion and Aegon. He wasn't counting that dragonfire can melt even stone, so they all basically were buried in the melted castle. Since then there has been rumors that the castle is haunted, someone even said that when the Strongs died there last season. We have also seen it in the first scene of the show, on the Great Council of 101. Just so you know, this is not the first time we saw Gwayne Hightower. In the first episode of the series, on the tournament, Daemon chooses him as opponent to provoke Otto, as this is his heir. Great video as always, keep up the good work, guys 🙂

For all its worth, Cole is a very seasoned soldier, though his fighting mode is always on reckless attacker. Sharp eyes and ant least 10 years of experience, fighting in the Dornish Marches.

First respect for the quick upload. In the future when all this chaos is unleashed just remember Rhaenyra did everything to try and prevent this war.

Jace is gonna go off next episode watch. He was giving hella side eyes to Rhaenyra this whole episode

Okay I guess I’ll stay up 😂

the "your grace" thing is tricky. in our world, the husband of the reigning Queen usually takes the title of Prince Consort instead of King Consort and thus would remain "my Prince", this is due to the connotations that have been placed to the title King Consort having been upheld by the patriarchy. People would hear only the "KING" in "King Consort" and think he ranks above the actual ruler, the Queen TL;DR: Daemon, for simplicity's sake, should have become Prince Consort and referred to by "my Prince"

Otto wouldn't care whether Vyserys meant Aegon the Conqueror or not, he already had the plan in motion to take over once he died. Alicent's declaration was just a convenient icing on the cake. The realization that she was wrong just makes her less committed to the cause, but it wouldn't stop anything even if she campaigned for it. The mysterious woman at Harrenhal is a witch. I won't say anymore.

I felt Blake’s rage when the others started justifying Alicent’s inaction 🤬

I really enjoyed watching this episode. Rhaenyra and Alicent`s conversation at the end of the episode was amazing, also the cold opening was cool to see and the intro added two more things to it`s tapestry.

🤦‍♀️😂😂 “someone’s glizzey getting gobbled.” 😂😂😂 I think we all said out loud “OW MAH GAWD” looked more like a Pinocchio than the real. Also, hats off to “his junk.” I bet he got paid a nice chunk of change for that shot.

Is this guy saying Alicent should open the gates to allow her family to be slaughtered lol? There is some brain rot going on for the people that hate Alicent. Episode 1x9 already showed that they were going to crown Aegon no matter what. He is the first born son of the king so the laws of the faith and Westeros tradition say he should be the heir. The death bed confession was a cherry on top, it didn’t actually factor into the legal argument for why they crowned him.

Great vid lads, can't wait for next week.

When Aegon finds out Alicent let Rhaeynra go she will be in so much trouble

The music in the Daemon scene where he took Harrenhal did go hard and that scene and that track was way more epic than it should’ve been

Yes it was a huge risk to meet with Alicent, but kings fight on battlefields all the time. This was to make one last best effort to prevent needless death, so it was very worth it in her eyes.

No way Aegon is giving the throne up to the woman he thinks killed his son.

Gywane is the knight whose horse daemon tripped during g the tourney in season one

Harenhall is built atop an old godswood grove

The beginning of Rhaenyra and Alicent debate , Alicent thought she had the upper hand and could find peace if Rhaenyra surrendered, hears her mistake and suddenly there can be no peace.

Alicent always knew Aegon is a bad apple, but It comes down to a mother protecting her child. Even if your son is guilty, a mother would compromise her integrity to defend him.

Not just three Aegons. And it’s a pretty cursed name too. Daenys the dreamer had a son Aegon who was Lord of Dragonstone during the Century of Blood. Aegon I, the conqueror; his grandson, Aegon the uncrowned, who was killed and usurped by his uncle Maegor, the cruel; Aegon, son of Jaehaerys and Alysanne, died a few days after birth; Aegon, brother of Daemon and Viserys, died before turning 1; Aegon II, the usurper; Aegon the younger, Rhaenyra and Daemon’s son; then there will be other Aegons, three of them kings: Aegon III; Aegon IV; Aegon V, known as Egg, who will be the protagonist of the new series Dunk & Egg and Daenerys’ great-grandfather; and then fAegon/Aegon VI/Young Gryff, the supposed not-dead son of Rhaegar and is aiming for the throne, he was cut from the show but exists in the books and wants to marry Daenerys. Theories are he’s a Blackfyre pretender. And in GOT, there the dumb Jon name, but its a consensus he’s probably not called Aegon considering Rhaegar already had a son called Aegon with Elia Martell. As for the kings. Odd numbered Aegons are good kings. The conqueror (I), The Unlucky (III), The Unlikely (V). Even numbered Aegons suck. The usurper (II) and the Unworthy (IV).

The irony of rhanera dressed as a nun lol

You're right, the royal family (Greens) would be a mess if that information was pushed. But, I suspect the fact that this information being now in their camp is a planted seed that will cause LOTS of problems. Rhaenyra was wise to clarify this. This little trip will bear fruit.

HERE ‼️

The eggs n pentos what a callback

When Rheanyra kneels with Alicent in the Sept it’s just like when they were younger in season 1! Also the scene where Alicent realizes she f*cked you is amazing!

17:21 One of those eggs is pink Rhaena will hatch that dragon egg and she will call her dragon Morning because he hached in the Vale. Geeta Patel the director of this episode just confirmed the other eggs are Daenerys dragon eggs.

Lol if that dude thinks alicent is just going to open the gates for rhaenyra he has another thing coming.

I think Rhaenyra sees Rhaena as the daughter she ever had, or a stand in for her lost baby Visenya.

One of the directors of the episode confirmed that the dragons sent with Rhaena are Danaerys's deagons

King Consort would be the term for Daemon, he's not King as that implies he has the power. So much like Alicent was Queen Consort being called "your grace" Daemon should be that too, it's just the first time there's been a Queen so of course there's a bit of misunderstanding.

The blackwood kid is the kid that courted rhanerya in season one

Allicent wasn't even sorry. Dont defend her to me

Lmao . "Is this Daeron" after they have said the dudes name multiple times is funny. Daeron is in Oldtown also, in addition to being young

The thing is that without Otto in Court, and even worst, with Sir Cole as Hand, who spitefully hates Rhaenyra, whatever little chance there is to rectify the situation, is actually gone. Like, if before the chance of success was 5% no it is -500%

Literally not possible to stop. Either Aegon or Rhaenera would need to give up there throne. Nither will.

Alicent cannot stop it at this point. Also the taking of the Throne by Aegon was going to happen regardless so Aegon has a load of support all over the realm. Alicent however has everyday less and less power and im sure she will try to have some sort of end but by the end of episode 4 something will happened that will cross the point of no return for both sides.

Jaehearys and Luke are dead. There's no going back. I also don't really believe that most people believed Alicent about Viserys naming Aegon as heir anyways.

Yay been keeping watch for ur guys reaction ☺️

You have it backwards: Aemond is maladjusted. Aegon is evil. I’m really disappointed in how many people discount his rapes and child-fighting in Season 1. His sickness was dormant while he thought being king was fun and made people like him. But he hung ALL of the ratcatchers to get to one. He’s still a sadistic asshole. Aemond is overcoming parental neglect, child sexual abuse by a hooker, and general Second Son Syndrome. But he and Daemon are principled in their bad behavior. Aegon is trash.

Notice, Aegon has always been Aemond’s biggest bully.. as kids and as adults. What he does next I feel is fully called for from Aemond

the world would be a better place if every man on this earth knew how to style his hair as well as Cojo

Gwayne Hightower was the guy on the horse Daemon tripped in the tournament.

Otto can't be angry at Alicent or blame her for her misunderstanding because he was genuinely wanting to usurp the throne.

Something to note, the Blackwood at the start is Davos Blackwood who’s not in the books.. we thought he was Bloody Ben but apparently not :( This is the second time a Blackwood has killed a Bracken in this show!

Helena, as someone on the spectrum, perceives things in a different amd at the same time more distinct way of the rest of the family. Her empathy is expressed ina stern way but she clearly suffers from the lost of her child. Everyone greaves differently and her way is very unique to her.

Notice most of the goldclaoks were replaced or defected

33:16 there is like 11 known Aegons.

2:35 bro died by his own sword😂

You're saying it's too late BUT I'm sure the starving people there who are going to die would gladly stop the war. It's like having nukes and knowing you don't have to use them and using them anyway. Another reason why the greens should not be ruling. Rhaenyra did all the talking and pleading she could...it's time for action.

Aemond evil? But we saw he's not evil actually

The battle aftermath was supposed to mirror the battle.of savannahs during the American Civil war

Something I want y’all to know, the showrunners or directors have confirmed of those 4 dragons eggs, 3 do become Dany’s dragon 169 years later! You are literally looking at the future of House Targaryen

I just finished y'all Evil Dead reaction 🤣... Are y'all going to react to newest one Evil Dead Rise?

If Alicent tried to double back and allow Rhaenyra power it would either fail and catapult them all into bloody battle or succeed and end in the death of her, all 3 of her sons, her daughter, her granddaughter, and her father because they’d end up tried for treason and/or killed for being contenders for the throne since even if the blacks took over Kingslanding there are still houses throughout the realm ready to go to war for the greens.

They don’t want to want to stop now

I think seasmoke is going to be ridden by one of Corlys' bastards. I think Alyn and his brother are Corlys' sons.

Cole sporting cerse haircut

Allisan can't change anything anymore, even if she wanted to. She does not have the influence and power to do so (If it were different, she would try it, I'm sure, because she is someone who repents). That's why it's too late. Against all the haters (including the king of ignorance Blake) here, it was made very clear again that Alisant put her son on the throne out of conviction and not because she heard what she wanted to hear. She did not know the story of ice and fire and therefore had no other reference to the name Aegon than her son. Now there is no way back. Her son will not let the crown be taken away from him and his subordinates will not allow that. She can't do anything. In addition, it was made very clear in the last episode that Alisant's sons no longer listen to her thanks to Otto. This was literally the topic of the conversation between Alisant and Otto. Btw Alisant lets her friend go. The war could have ended right here in Hightower's favor. Seasmoke is restless because his owner is still alive and unreachable for him. The bond between dragon and rider lasts until the rider dies. And as far as I know, the dragon does not accept a new rider for so long. If you give such hints that actually don't contribute anything to the story, you can assume that someone believed dead will soon become a topic again, maybe even come back.

This series so far I’m liking it and I’m curious. Great reactions as always gentlemen. Thanks ❤️🦬☮️. As always team black 🖤🤍

next episode gonna be 🥹🥹🥹

1:54 I get what you saying but it is funny because both houses are acient noble houses.

That girl that spoke to Daemon. She kind of looks like the OTHER red witch from GOT. I am fairly certain....

Guys there's nothing to prevent the war, Daemon will kill alicent children so alicent won't give up the throne, Aegon seeks vengeance for his son's death and Aemond would rather burn down westeros than see the blacks on the throne, there's no way to prevent it at this point. even if alicent did not misunderstood viserys words, The council lead by otto would've still crowned Aegon as king.

House "Strong" weirdly feels like an oxymoron lol. Save Larys who I still cannot figure out who he's playing for.

What? Daeron (and now also Tessarion) mentioned again in this episode? Let's gooooo 🗣️🗣️ Perhaps we might we get a short glimpse of him by the end of the season. (I'm being delusional 😬 knowing too well that Ryan kept him for S3)

Also, extremely interesting take about Mysaria….not EXACTLY a “trash take” but she has no Valyrian blood

Blake putting on chapstick while saying "major bitch energy" got me seeing what the comments see in him 😫 im still a corey simp tho

Pay attention to the lady in Harrenhal. She'll be more important in the future.

This is the 3rd wet whistle contusion I’ve heard today. I suppose that one is getting lost to time? Wonder if it’ll start coming back like chefs kiss did. Edit: wet whistle contusion is hilarious. Clearly I meant confusion lmfao

I dont get blakes point. There is literally nothing Alicent can do to stop the war now.

41:08 Otto doesn't give a shit about that. He want (his) male heir to sit on the iron throne no matter what. Even if this misunderstanding plot didn't happen... He'll still gonna usurp the throne for aegon. Also don't let these comments calling you names make you stop speaking out your mind. Keep cooking those "stupid" theories, ideas, opinions... Not only it's funny but reading people get really mad about it also entertaining. 😂

Alicent Hightower knew FULL WELL that King V never "changed his mind" on his deathbed. And watching her get EXTRA confirmation of that AND STILL prioritize mass bloodlust over Truth is ENRAGING! It's NEVER TOO LATE for Diplomacy. What a SAD EXCUSE. I know it's a TV show, but people start wars this way FOR REAL. It genuinely pisses me off. The human cost is real.

I'll just be team Bloody Ben. I'm sick of seeing both sides. 😂😂😂👍🏼👊🏼

People who hate Allicent really arent resonable when it comes to her.

well if this was based on real English history...we all know how it will be end....BLOODSHED!

This episode was like x-rated lol. Never seen anything like that on a tv show or movie.

Damn my boy Luke died for nothing, Aaemon still getting roasted and all that training and BS didn't change anything.

I do not thin egss are the ones of Daenerys. They are of different colours. There was no blue or red egg in Daenerys's eggs.

They didn't listen to Otto but somehow people think Alicent has the power to stop the war. Rhaenyra barely has the respect of her war council but you guys think Alicent alone can stop the war and get Aegon to step down. If she did try to I don't think Aegon would have her killed but he would just dismiss her from his court as he did Otto. And the idea that Alicent could just open the gates to King's Landing and let Team Black enter, that would be codemning her children to death. Just like when the Mad King fell, and the Lannisters took over King's landing, they butchered all the remaining targaryen children. Expecting Alicent to put Rhaenyra over her children's lives is just unrealistic. While I don't think Rhaenyra would want to kill Alicent's children, there is no doubt Daemon & other members of team black would. So she's right in saying its too late.
