Start GOT!!! 🙏

Definitely start GOT. I don't watch a lot of TV but GOT and HOTD are my favorite shows. I spent a year trying to get my mother to watch GOT. She finally started last week and called me at 1 AM because she was binge watching and couldn't stop LMAO

GoT is so dang good that you might be able to finish it before HOTD starts back up. GoT will also provide context to some of the houses we’re about to see next season. I suspect that you’ll get into all the lore as well. Do it for the fans Addison!! 😂

@@godstoslaves Was trying to get my husband to watch it for the longest time too -- he was like, "I don't wanna watch that dungeons and dragons shit." 🤣🤣 finally got him to watch the first episode and he was like put the next one on right now.

Please start GOT soon I’ve been hoping you would react to it for so long. I love how you are not on any side in HOTD. I see you’re perspective there are bad sides to both it’s just a tragic no win tale

Luke* Jace when to the Vale and the North

😂😂😂 I just wrote the same thing before I read your comment… like they don't control those dragons. Aemond found out the hard way.

Bet you didn't think that when Leonidas killed the messenger...

Who? @@Bkrp-bl4wb

It isn't because he was a messenger. It's because he was a guest under his roof. Violation of guest rights is almost as bad a kin slaying.

​@@DarthKay093go watch 300.

I am sure she understood, she just didn't agree after Arrax went more serious.

Facts! Like what did he really think was going to happen? That guy had the audacity to look sorry about the situation after it occurred...smh. -Adison

​@edn he was just Taunting his nephew like he always do. Aemond understood the fire was the dragon being scared. He kept saying right after they got hit with fire " no vhagar, obey me" then Vhagar being a war time drago. Went in fo the kill. In the books, Alicent, otto was pissed at him. His brother was happy( he a ass).

@@keithlangreen2053 Yeah, but Aemond also showed no remorse in the book, either. I HATE the way they changed this as if Aemond had an "oopsie!" kind of moment. He may not have meant to kill Luke, but he sure as hell didn't care that he did.

Right, plus when she was younger and her father just made her Heir. She wanted to send dragon riders to help the seasnake I believe for when he was loosing in the stepstones. And she was around her son's age so it probably reminds her of herself at that age too.

I have to agree. I understand that’s his style but these kinds of shows require much more attention to detail and when you talk over certain conversations, you miss tons of needed information.

@@ShayP76he new to the Game Of Thrones world. Hopefully he’ll get it eventually when he watches the GOT show

Also consider that the "war" hasn't kicked off yet, right now it's all politics and who can get the other lords on their side in hopes that it's enough to get the other side to sand down without having to spill blood. There was no reason to think Luke would be in danger of being killed like that.

Kids also rule kingdoms & have babies in this world.. them going alone on their dragons isn't a big deal lol

Well in that case I would have never given lil man the opportunity to bond with that Dragon. He would have been in bed everyday at 8:30 A.M. 😅 -Adison

lol @@edn

She gave birth to a half dragon, you can see the doll they used online for the scene. In the books its heavily suggested the Targaryen's did experiments trying to combine animals together. That the dragons relationship with the Targaryen's are the results of chimeras. The Targaryen's are literally part dragon. The books also heavily imply the Targaryen's are inspired by a certain Nootsie military in the 1930's. TargARYAN and their white hair, pale skin, tendency for v10lenc3. The nootsie party also did similar experiments. The Targaryen's are colonizers not from that land. In the og GOT series, you see the power vacuum left behind once they leave... just like actual history. The dragons are also a metaphor for nuci3ar w3apQns.

@@superkoopatrooper4879 Source: trust me bro

And Laenor left willingly. He's also making his family think he'd dead. I don't why you'd just blame R & D lol

Rhaenyra also raised a wholesome family. All her kids have ethics and values. Team green gives all their men a free pass. While holding Rhaenyra to a different standard.

I imagine they are just going to hand wave the dragon bond rule based on casting news for s2. Unless Ser Qarl comes back and says "ohh Laenor died in the fighting" maybe even bring his body back.

But dragons don’t bond every rider that tries to bond them so how would anyone know if it’s because Laenor is a live or because the dragon just doesn’t like this person

@@tuber7081 but we do know that Seasmoke does eventually take another rider

Actually Rhaenyra never expected anything from Rhaenys which is why she told Daemon in episode 8, they shouldn't count on her. You should know this if you watched the show. Same thing, Rhaenyra didn't blame Rhaenys in this episode, she didn't even try to convince Rhaenys to support her. So I would love to knows where did you see Rhaenyra being angry at Rhaenys...? Like please, where ? Also, Rhaenys gave up on her claim a long time ago, she's been blaming Corlys for still being power-hungry over her own claim so she really doesn't care anymore about her position. She wanted to see if Rhaenyra would be a Queen worth to fight for and apparently she is because Rhaenys completly sided with her.

@@LolLilol-uw3ou which is funny cause her reasoning is that Rhaenyra wants peace..... coming from the woman who just murdered hundreds of people.... and she wants to support the woman she thinks was responsible for her son's death.

Rhaenys is visery's cousin. Once he was picked as king her claim dropped below all of his children's and their children's claims. The secession line goes like ( viserys>Rhaenyra > her kids from oldest to youngest > aegon>his children>Aemond> any children he may have in the future> Rhaenys> her children (if you take out the bastards her children she had with Daemon would be the next in line after her and then it would go on to her brother aegon. (Daemon should technically be next in line but he got disinherited)

The show already proved the books aren't accurate.

Alicent never turned on Rhaenyra thou per say, she just decided to stand w her own blood bcuz of 1) jealousy due to the fact that Rhaenyra, all of their lives, got to do w/e she wanted while Alicent was forced to do her duty tunred her into a bitter woman & 2) yrs of Otto drilling the idea that Rhaenyra would be the one to strike first and kill Alicent's children to strengthen her claim to the throne. Alicent had grown to think of Rhaenyra, by her own actions, as a selfish, self-indulgent person w no care for duty or authority and a liar. Also, she knows Daemon is a loose cannon who hates her father and "killed" Laenor... how are those not compelling enough reasons to distrust Rhaenyra?

@@_justinblizzle This explanation might be long but idk she basically did turn against Rhae out of distrust and knew that it was time to fully defend her own because she found out Rhae lied to her. I was iffy about the time skip because I just felt that her finding out Rhae lied only once wasn’t enough to really convince me, I think it would‘ve made Alicent distrust her and distance herself, and then kick off the tension, but her sudden symbolic appearance in the wedding wearing all green being cold to a concerned Rhae all of a sudden gave me whiplash I was just unmoved by it lol. I think it’d be better if they equally had a proper falling out over reoccurring tension and disagreement over politics and religion, leading to the factions fighting over influence in court whilst Viserys is turning to dust. Them setting the divide and declaring a ‘political’ war (idk if that’s the right term) when Rhae and Alicent wear both black and green like in the books would’ve definitely had more impact and set up the upcoming war. Idk I just like chaos. It’s just that there are those that felt like the ‘tension’ was one-sided and weird because they felt that Alicent was extremely too “bitter” whilst the same energy wasn’t reciprocated by Rhae, making her this innocent angel because of the way her fallout with Rhaenyra is written. It just overshadowed the fact that Rhae did do things that jeopardised her claim and her children’s lives to the point people genuinely think passing on the throne to Jacaerys would be a breeze and should just be accepted. In a societal setting there’s way more to factions than just one woman being bitter to the other over one lie. Based on on the lore that I’m aware of, I think what could’ve truly drawn the line between Rhaenyra and Alicent was their extremely different political and religious views, since House Hightower is an ancient Westerosi house and House Targaryen established themselves way later in Westeros and it’s technically a ‘young’ House compared to the other Westerosi houses. House Hightower has strong ties and history compared to House Targaryen in terms of Westerosi religion and politics. I would continue but I’m feeling lazy at the moment sorry 😭.

@@_justinblizzle Btw I agree with all of that I just wish Rhae and Alicent’s hate for each other would be a lot more chaotic than it was in the show as it didn’t really move me or convince me that Alicent would go down that route over that one thing idk how else to say it.

@@stein9432 Imo it wasn’t just “over one lie” it was, for girls in their position, the worst possible thing she could’ve done/lied about and she swore so easily on her dead mother’s grave. If she’ll do/say that, she’ll do/say anything. Alicent was a sweet summer child so to her this is a big deal. For others who are not on such a moral high ground they’d just pass it off as Rhae being a wild teenager. Let’s also not forget that Alicent was the Queen and so Rhaenyra’s lies were brazen treason lol. As far as the political/religious tensions you talk about I think it’s safe to assume that all of that was bubbling over during the 10yr time skip. Rhae’s brazen disrespect of the law, morality & religion of Westeros was clearly a constant thing. She clearly also didn’t give af (maybe bcuz she’s a Targaryen or bcuz her father was king and she was heir) yet Alicent was always held to higher standards w her scheming father always on her back and in her ear. That would breed resentment in just about anyone. I think the “and now they see you as you are” scene in ep 7 is incredibly telling of all they’ve been feeling for the last 10 yrs. I understand if all of this is just something you would’ve rather seen onscreen thou. However, I don’t want to discredit the writer’s efforts to actually give context to their relationship bcuz in the books we don’t get this background; their relationship is completely different and we basically just start the story right before the Dance kicks off.

​@@stein9432I think it would have been more logical of Alicent stopped supporting Rhaenyra after Jace's birth.

1. Spoiler 2. Not true. We don't know how many houses supposed them 3. and yeah, Rhaenyra died bc the Dragonstone betrayed her.

That Dragon is INSANE! 😨 -Adison

I wish he would have seen that first, then this.

Yeah I get that part but I think the mother can get over that way quicker than thinking her daughter in law conspired to kill her son in my opinion. -Adison

@@edn agreed, but then her sons decision wouldn't be respected. He ultimately decided to let his parents think he's dead, not Rheaynyra or Daemon

Facts, I feel you! But if anybody’s decisions were to be denied I’m cool with it being the sons out of everyone involved. I think his wishes are the most selfish. That’s just how I feel right now though, it could change as more information is presented. -Adison

@@edn on that I completely agree with you, he's basically ran away to freedom at the expense of his parents heartbreak, and Rheaynyra and Daemon are left as the ones to blame. I am expecting him to make a return in the following seasons so that will be very interesting if he does! How do you explain to your parents that you thought F it to their devastation? 😬

@@DarkSister. Dude,, Rhaenyra wanted to get rid of him because she wanted to marry Daemon and let everyone believe she killed him and Daemon was the one who suggested that he could live... he wasn't really left with much of a "choice" if the choice is: go or we'll kill you.

🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾 -Adison

Then why your mother sent you to buy things and you get kidnapp and murdered?

Boys his age went to war in those days

Facts! 💯 That’s all I’m saying! -Adison

Not only that but Rhaenys is part Baratheon so w her support Team Black assumed that Storm's End would be an ally

@@_justinblizzle forgot about that & his father had a oath in motion & he basically said I ain’t my father lol

@@TtrueReacts i was going to mention that lol but i figured them having actual bloodties would be an even stronger argument for allyship than as Otto put it "stale oaths"

@@_justinblizzle facts !!

She allowed her 14 year old kid to go knowing that of course the greens would also be busy gathering alies. She's just not very smart, she thinks back to when she was young and wanted to do stuff like that without thinking things through fully.

I'm pretty sure I asked a question that you responded "No" to so I'm unable to understand what you are saying "no" to given the limited context from your response. So what was the question of mine you were answering? -Adison

@@edn None. I mean I didn't mean to respond to any question. The "no" at the beginning is a turn of phrase. It also is a way to start a sentence, an exchange or a way to state an opinion. Also I mean that in a literal way, not in a rude way.

@@LolLilol-uw3ou gotcha gotcha all love! I was just a little confused so I wanted to ask before assuming. I appreciate you! 💯❤️ -Adison

I feel you but then look what happened because of that decision. Sending a kid out like that doesn’t make sense. Look at the results of that decision. -Adison

@@edn in the time period they are in “kids” arent really kids like we have today, and they are dragon riders at that. They have responsibilities and do things on their own. Him dying was the result of aemond, not because his mom let him do a normal thing like ride his dragon to deliver a message

But the son though 🥹🥺… -Adison

He should be watching Game Of Thrones while the seasons of HOD come out, it's not necessary to wait for HOD to be entirely out, we know what the outcome is either by reading the book or it being spoiled on GOT and we're fine and still want to watch HOD
