I love the symbolism of Aegon destroying everything Viserys spent his life building so quickly.

The cargyll twins broke my heart

The man who was supposed to be watching your son became your hand ?? Good Choice

When Otto called him trifling I fell out my chair 😂😂 he got ghetto real quick 😂😂

Was I the only Person scared Poor Little Jahcerys head was gonna fall off on that Carrige ride?😂😂😂

I was disgusted by Alicent, she couldn't even comfort Aegon when he clearly needed it, noo instead she goes for some more of Crispin's sword..

That moment when Aegon says "Sir Criston has acted 😌" and you see Otto going through the 5 stages of grief and aging 20 years before he says "good gods"... I was CACKLING

The fact that Alicent didn't comfort Aegon when he was crying over his dead son...told me all I need to know

Emma & Tom SOLD these characters to another level! Damn. They are foils to each other but wow, I’m beyond impressed at their performances. The twins’ scene also shook me emotionally.

The way daemon sat there I lol cause everyone like who could have done this 😂

The difference between how Rhaenyra and Jace comfort each other and how Alicent can’t even touch her grieving children is glaring. Love your videos Gray!

Episode 2 was fire OMG 😂😂. When Otto laughed at Aegon I almost died

tywin wouldve never let Joffrey talk to him like that

MVPs of this episode Otto Hightower Cargyle twins Aegon

I need more haelena honestly

The actor for Aegon ii, tom Glynn Cairney, is doing an amazing job, truly

Tom 100% is killing it as Aegon. The fact they made me sympathize with the Greens is 10/10

Alicent's kids by Viserys are a constant reminder of the 'horrible sacrifices' she made at Otto's command (marrying Viserys). Of course she's detached from them emotionally. She never wanted them.

Somebody said “Alicent needed that Cristin Pole” and I DIED.

Daemon not saying a word, looking guilty AF, while Rhaenyra and her small council are wondering who killed Jaehaerys was priceless. 😂

"We've had vicious kings, we've had idiot kings, but I don't think we've ever had a vicious idiot as a king."-Tyrion to Joffrey. Aegon is definitely an idiot king.

Sir Crusty Cole makes me dispise him more and more every single episode 😂 😡

Otto said you ain’t shit Aegon ! 😂

Ser Crispin trying to blame Ser Arryk and ordering him to Dragonstone was ridiculous and stupid and honorless.

So much conflict between everyone in this episode but watching the brothers fight to the death was especially tragic.

Calling Caraxes the "Throat Goat" 😭 see, this is the quality commentary that keeps me coming back 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cole gaslighted the hell out of Arryk. I just can't stand this character and foresee him making the list of most hated characters of all time. George R. Martin's writing is stellar and the actors are so talented. Martin's ability to make these characters so realistically complex is such a gift.

9:34 I absolutely loved this scene, Matt & Emma are just so fckn good on-screen together! I only have ONE bone to pick: When Rhaenyra accuses Daemon of plotting "his war" when she was in labor. Go rewatch Episode 10/S1, Daemon did EVERYTHING CORRECTLY. • He knows Otto's plan will be to send a small band of assassins & do it thru stealth. So he organizes what little force they have on Dragonstone to watch the skies & the beaches. They dont have much men, but they can be vigilant & LOOK stronger than they are. • He correctly understands that no more time can be wasted. The Greens had a head start & they need to play catch up & FAST. So he wants to secure the Riverlands & Harrenhall bc he knows strategically that will tip the war in their favor. Jace walks in & says nothing is to be done w/out the Queen's consent. Daemon has the maester send the ravens anyways -- again, time can't be wasted. All Daemon did in those crucial hours/days when Rhaenyra was struggling thru her birth -- something we've seen the MEN can do nothing abt -- He took the assertive role to PROTECT HIS QUEEN/WIFE & THEIR KIDS & in many ways to secure her claim as the rightful heir/ruler. So when Rhaenyra answered Jace when he asked "Wheres Daemon?" & she goes, "I dont know...gone to madness...gone to 𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘳..." AND she throws that back in his face in THIS argument...dafuq??! He did what was necessary, he acted appropriately & he probably got them ahead of the curve which they desperately needed at the time. It's bizarre that even Rhaenyra cannot recognize that. & I'll be honest, when she said her "I want Aemond Targaryen" line, she LOOKED directly at Daemon with a "do what you do" look in her eyes & she knew he's been out for blood since he learned Viserys died & they usurped her throne...what did she think was gonna happen? & what responsibility will she bear for her part in it? Bc she could've also said aloud "I want him dead, but we'll make a plan". Or something. When she singled out Daemon, she couldve pulled him aside & said "We'll do it together. Promise me." Point is, she could've stopped it.

Man the way I laughed so loud when Otto told Alicent he didn't care about her sin confession lmao

The servant girl that saw Blood got away pretty fast. I am sure she went to tell Larys about it and helped identify him (plus he had the kid’s head). I bet Larys chose to let whatever was going to happen, happen hoping that Cole would get fired. Instead he got promoted because Otto lost his shit. Lol

I think aegon feel shame because he doesnt know how to confort helena . You can tell he wants to say somthing but he doesnt know how to

Lmmfao at 10:27 “the throat goat” is WILD 💀

girl the episode just ended how you this fast 😂

Otto knows exactly what Alicent is doing with Criston and just doesn't want to face up to it

They finally mentioned my boy Daeron 😭😭

One thing which Otto admitted he knows, that Viserys didn't appoited Aegon us his hair, and that really and truly he knows deap dow that Rhaenira is the rightful Queen.

I think it’s hilarious how Alicent accuses Crispin’ of kissing and telling when she tried to tell both Otto AND Helena at the most in opportune times, being shot down twice. SHE is the one who craves absolution and nobody GAF.

Pretty sure it was Arryk who actually killed himself aftwr killing Erryk. But i think them making it unclear is a metaphor for what the dance becomes.

I really thought the baby was going to roll off the buggy. I was like no, please tell me his head is going to come off.

I bet Otto and Alicent are missing Viserys now. Should have appreciated the man while he was alive.

It’s just like Aemond to feel flattered that Daemon wanted to assassinate him rather than feeling guilty that his baby nephew was killed in him place. He’s a psycho.

I will say, Tom has major props for the role. Criston’s hypocrisy continues shine Otto gets the boot for a second after throwing shade at him. The Cargyll twins was too much to bear.

Otto has got to be kidding me. Now he misses Viserys? 😂

otto is smart but his worst bet was Aegon, should’ve waited to wed one of his grandchildren to Rhaenyra’s children

Well... I wasn't expecting to be so heartbroken about the twins, both of them actually not just Erryk. 😢. Have to agree Otto was a stand out this episode..... Almost likeable.... Almost but not quite because obviously team black forever.

otto was a walking thesaurus when he was ripping into the king 😂 I learned some new words during that scene

Man. What happened with the twins is so sad. It hits a little close, being the older sibling of two younger twins.

Let me tell you, I was SCREAMING when Otto didn't want to listen to Alicents "sin". He would've been able to get rid of Crispins behind once and for all if he had just been a dad for 2 seconds!

Honestly thought helaena was going to summon Dream Fire with her distress and light some small folk on fire, causing the situation to backfire on them.

This episode definitely made me feel more than blood and cheese did. Shit was so sad when the twins fought only for Ser Erryc to self delete after killing his own brother. Fuck Criston cole and sending a man to his death because he can only deal with his guilt through projection.

My favorite part of the episode Otto: “THE RATCATCHERS!!l Aegon: “Ohhhhhh” Also Rhys Ifans can never make me hate Otto. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨🤤

They were laying a lot of seeds this episode. And I love how they’re just gonna keep on cementing Aemonds mommy issues with his next lady friend. If you know, you know.

Rhaenyra knew exactly who she married idk why she was acting brand new 😭

The way I cackled at the comments throughout this video. I loveeee this channel 😂 Favorite quotes: - Larys of House Only Feet - Knocks Blood into the land of always winter - Bowlegged boy, the THROAT GOAT 😩

Duty was the death of love for Erryk and Arryk.

It felt knives in the throat speaking Ottos praise

Completely feel you with being sick of alicent & criston omg their screen time needs to be given to Rhaena & Baela😩

Daemon's side eye at the table was too funny to me 😂

We need more Baela! Also, the actress is so beautiful. I gasped because it has been a minute since she had been on the show and I had forgotten how beautiful she was. I also feel that Rhanerya chooses Baela because Baela is better equipped and a better fighter-and if she is captured they will not harm her as a grand daughter of the lords of Driftmark-so if she was caught they would trade her for the ending of the blockade versus Jacerys would be killed as an heir to the throne.

I also thought when the carriage got stuck his body would fall off and his head would roll… GOT trauma 😅

Every word that Rhaenyra spewed questioning Daemons intentions pained me so . I understand being upset about the prince , but taking it there Mama , just made me hurt for Dameon

I dont get all the praise for Otto. Hes the one who started all this in the 1st place by scheming to steal Rhaneyras throne. He only cares about himself & always has. No one has ever cared for Aegon or any of his siblings. I felt for Aegon. And the twins were heartbreaking. Made me really despise Cole even more.

The twins getting killed was so sad and they are so handsome 🥰🥰💙💟💙🥰

imagine if krispy hooking up with the queen dowager somehow becomes known to the white cloaks 😹 i want to see some internal conflict with the white cloaks. krispy's oversight regarding the night of jaehaery's death hasn't been addressed yet, and on top of that, he sent arryk to his death

Not sending her son to patrol and sending baela instead isn't't really tactically selfish, he's her heir.

EVERY ACTOR BROUGHT IT TODAY!! Bravo!!

The three things that very much stuck out to me: Aegon snubbing Helena, his sister AND wife on the stairs, Daemon snubbing his daughter, and Alicent snubbing Aegon during his time of need towards the end of the episode. Even in a fictional show I find sadness in the distance and disconnect inside some families. It was a good episode with only one action scene. We don't need warfare and violence every episode, as there is a lot of that to come.

She said “Trey wey” GreyArea is really needed in this space🤣🤣🤣💪🏾

The scene with the Blacksmith instantly made me think of Bronn, when he was talking with Tyrion and Varys in season 2 of GoT when they were preparing for the battle of Blackwater. Back when he said it was the starving that gets the smallfolk first.

I said the same thing he broke his dad’s Lego set 😂and sir crusty is acting out cause he knows he can’t say shit… that guilts gonna tear his ass up….

I’m Team Black 💯 but Team Green brought it this episode. Tom Glynn Carney is eating it up as Aegon. Overall I found it a little slow but that’s because it was more of an actor showcase than an action episode.

I thought that seeing how helaena and aegon don’t even interact was a sure sign to show that their relationship is actually nonexistent and there is possibility that was not his child likely aemond’s child

I'm just glad the rat catchers dog is okay.

When I see Gray Area drop I drop everything and I click 😍😍😍

It was the “Larys of House Only feet” for me lmao😂

TURKEY NECK VHAEGAR MY GOD 💀💀

Those little burns that you drop, “wasn’t talking to you incel,” they’re so unexpected and crack me up every time!

I gotta ssy that Aemond was blah this episode. He honestly believes that Daemon is afraid of him. Nah. Daemon was just trying to kill two birds with one stone by getting Vhagar out of the way without a rider and give Rhaenyra her revenge.

13:13 “turkey neck Vhagar” I’m so done 🤣

This episode had bombs after bombs moment. Omg!!!

Yo Otto is eating his whole ass life to put Aegon on

Many kings (and queens) were protecting their heirs by keeping them from battlefield. Jacaerys is Rhaenyra's Crown Prince - it is practical she doesn't want to risk sending him. What is imsportant, is that Baela doesn't act as it if was unfair - she seems to understand stituation and agrees with her step-mother. Baela is now one of Rhaenyra's warrior and she isn't her heir, so she shouldn't expect to be treated like glass (and seems she doesn't).

So Crispy Cole, head of the Kings Guard kept his job. Where were the guards? Cole should have been discharged of duty and given more smoke, It is crazy how little security they had considering they are at war,

Every single actor NAILED this episode! I don’t have the space to list every amazing scene. All amazing.

Ramin Djawati has been eating with this music so far.

I can't be the only one that thought Addam of Hull looks like Rob from Milli Vanilli.

The acting and writing in this episode was actually top tier shit.. Otto, aegon, rhaenyra and daemon.. just some absolutely excellent scenes in this one

About the funeral it reminds me of the fact that in the middle ages among nobles and commenors the murder would not be forgiven. Looking at the Princes In The Tower.

I really luved king Visarys old Valeria model

My God... this is a great episode! I knew ser Eric and ser Aric were going to fight to the death, I didn't expect him to fall upon his sword 😢. I loved every moment of the episode. Mat Smith still owns the scenes but damn that was good dialog.

That Rhanerya and Mysaria scene was amazing. Great writing, amazing acting and direction! Bravo! 🙌

Rhaenyra was staring in to Mysarias soul. lol. I was like, dang girl. had ME uncomfortable for her.

I love the acting in this episode and especially the twins 💙💙 I will miss them so much, they are so handsome 💟💟

Rhaenyra with the Targaryen spidey sense 😂

Otto looked like he aged 20 years as he walked away from Aegon

I thought the same thing about the carriage getting stuck. I was like, please don't let this baby head pop off. 😣

The falling flower petals that they threw during the procession reminded me of the ash that falls there after Danerys took out Kings Landing.

Otto was definitely my favorite this episode. Rhys is brilliant. 😂

the scene with aemond in the red light district is pretty interesting. they even had someone pour him a glass of milk. this milk trope oddly fits his character

Not Otto calling him a "good for nothin type of brotha"
