"The key to a dragons heart is through its stomach" -Nettles, probably

Thank you for tending the flame of the fandom for so many years LML

55:44 is where the spoilers start for those who wanna avoid/are looking for them!

Not my theory but I saw online someone speculating that the woman in the bed being choked by Daemon’s hand could be Helaena having a dragon dream of Daemon squeezing the life from her before Blood and Cheese happens-symbolism of how that event leaves her lifeless and depressed.

That grandpa Vermithor impression had me wheezing please do more of those in the future 😂🤣🤣

Great stream. I'm really feeling that this season is gonna blow season one out of the water

Just wanted to say Thanks for settling my Nettles Paranoia, Settle My Nettles, so to speak .... Never stop the 90's music references!

The battles scenes are looking INSANE. I hope they top Battle of the Bastards cause I wanna be both excited and overwhelmed with every battle like in GOT

33:33 Someone on Reddit brightened this scene, and it's definitely Sian Brooke, the actress who played Aemma. This must be Daemon's dream/hallucination in Harrenhal

14:35 fool me, you can’t get fooled again! What a reference. Made me proper laugh out loud

was working when this dropped so glad u jumped on it quick appreciate you always lml

I am so hyped for the new season! Thanks for the coverage of the final trailer it was beyond awesome.

Thanks David. Really pumped for S2 🐉

You are always a pleasure to listen to , the theories, the myth references, your thoughtful and interesting perspective on all of George's writing (as well as your clarity and understanding of real sociological complexities) Thanks for it all David!

Y'all I did not realize that they dropped a whole trailer! And I totally missed the live. Will have to listen to it at work tomorrow. Lol

Looking at the Stark family tree, Sara Snow is one of the most critically important characters to the plot! I think a version of "Aegon's prophecy" (even though it was always Rhaenys' prophecy) was passed down through House Stark from Sara Snow onwards. This is something Lyanna would be privy to. Lyanna and Rheagar filled in the blanks with each other's prophecies, ultimately realising that they are talking about the same prophecy. This is why the strong-willed Lyanna was so susceptible to absconding with Rheagar. She always knew about the pact of Ice & Fire.

Bring me the light David!

Loved this! Chat was on fire. Great analysis, Dave. I can't wait to hear your two new "remix of thrones" tracks!

According to Theon Greyjoy, direwolves have not been sighted south of the Wall for two hundred years. This means that Cregan would just fall outside of that time period, but certainly Stark characters during and before the reign of Jaehaerys I Targaryen could have had pet direwolves that they could warg into.

Great coverage! Thank you LML

Disappointed to see some haters were going off in the live chat.

Great stream, thanks LML! Can't wait for the new season and the post episode streams!

Great breakdown. Can't wait for June 16 Outstanding Vermithor, very amusing

Took me years to finally read fire and blood so I can listen to the spoiler section

Always amazing breakdowns.

grandpappy vermithor voice had me r o l l i n g 🤣🤣

dang it can't believe I missed ya! I'm so excited about this trailer! Looks absolutely gorg

I looked up Alys Rivers actress and I’m pretty sure it’s her behind the fan, the eyes look identical

Love the genuine nice guy approach DLB

💚🖤⚔️🏰 enjoying all the characters

Alys Rivers got me by surprise

Aegon takes Aemond to a brothel to celebrate lukes dearh, and the targ looking woman behind the fan is one of Mysaria's dancers who is going to "distract" Aemond while blood and cheese happens. She looks like Helaena because... she is meant to be "Helaena". Just like how Mysaria referenced to Daemon that she had silver haired women for him to sleep with, so he could pretend it was Rhaneyra.... it could be alluding the fact Aemond once referenced happily marrying/being with Helaena. So ya. Its pretty fucked.

Love your Vermithor voice! I needed that.

@ David Lightbringer and all, if you have not looked into Welsh history I'd recommend it. The dragon kings were the Welsh kings including Henry VII the winner of the war of the roses, which is what influenced GOT, he was one of the Y Mab Darogan (The prophesied Son). Dinas Emrys, very similar sounding 🤔, was where the Red and White Dragons were imprisoned, for example. Targaryen, is very welsh sounding/spelling. Wiki the Welsh Dragon and Flag, and follow some links for a fun history lesson including magic, druids and Merlin, and the Mabinogion, amazing tales of old. Thanks for your hard work.

Are you going play them the new versions music on KZfaq after you entered the competition?

I’m down with the Lounge Funk ✌🏽

It's interesting that I at first thought it were Rhaenyra at 29:22 but it's actually Aemond! This really shows how great casting they have for the characters! It really looks like they are related!😊The same with Rhaenyra looking a lot like Aemma or Baela looking a lot like Laena, but those I caught already in the first season. Aemond having similar features like Rhaenyra were something new because of this breakdown! And then a few minutes after someone in the chat writes that Daemon is banging Aemond and I lost it, lol!😂 Besides that, I'm a Lucemond shipper, mostly because it makes me sleep better at night that in another reality Aemond and Luke makes peace with each other and eventually forms a romantic relationship or just becomes best friends or a mix of both! And now when I've realized that he looks a lot like Luke's mom too it makes the incest thing the crazier!😅😂 But with that said, I must say that I'm both excited but also scared for all the upcoming seasons because I like characters from both sides and I don't wish them to hurt or kill each other...😔But I'm still curious to see Winterfell again and the battles with the dragons, so I'm quite torn...😓

34:26 Mysaria has black hair in the show, I can see Alys go blonde 😂

1:42:48 That's Alyn, Addam is the dragon rider.

Cregan and Jace posing

So happy for this trailer that came today ,it was really intense 🔥Only 1 month left to go now 👏🔥 and it looks amazing 🔥Fire and Blood 🔥🐉

I will always have issues whenever a character without any training or known skills jumps into a battle and starts wrecking professional soldiers like they're nothing. Ill just ask a real quick question for every single person that disagrees. How many infantryman from your home country could you personally take out by yourself? It's very likely zero. If you think differently, you're probably wrong but id love to hear your imagination at work.

Jace and Cregan at the Wall could mean that Cregan gets a ride on Vermax - because they spend time together at Winterfell and it wouldn't make sense for Jace to fly and then wait while Cregan travels the 600 miles between Cstle Black and Winterfell. (Jace could travel to the Wall on horseback but would he really have time for that?)

This show has the opportunity to address several mysteries that cannot be answered by the Maesters in the text. For one, what the heck Larys is actually up to would be a great reveal imo. I'm hoping we get more of him in season 2 then they have shown thus far.

In the scene of Alicent in the field there appears to be a dragon wing to the left of her. As if she is going towards somone who is on dragon back. The color is a blueish/greenish hue. Also, the scene with Daemon in the throne room there are cobwebs on the statue so definitely some type of dream sequence.

I assume Rhaenyra is asking Daemon if he recognizes her as the queen, because Daemon does Blood and Cheese, and that’s when he says an eye for an eye and a son for a son as justification.

I feel like we should all shout out David for calling out the clear and concise BS, deep fakes, AI art. Thank you David - clearly Nettles will be in the show. Viserys II will be in the show for goodness sakes!

1:40:43 I’m thinking that’s Aemond admitting the accidental kinslaying to Alicent.

The Winds of Winter announcement coming soon...confirmed 🙌

22:59 Rhaenyra also addressed Viserys by his name just before Daemon choked her.

I think that is Helaena in that aemond scene becouse you can see a ring there on her middle finger on her left hand and in season one in episode 8 in i think 45:55 when helaena covers her ears you can see an indentical ring in the same place on her hand.

What about this "Alys Rivers" part being just flashback and its Viserys and Emma ? (She definetly looks like Emma)

Good to see Ice again and it sure looks cool slung on Cregan's back but man would he never be able to draw the thing.

Also, I'm 100% convinced that The Dance Of The Dragons will not work without Maelor Targaryen.

-Nettles, probably

Btw aegon isn’t taking down the statues if that’s the case then they wouldn’t have made a vyserys statue. In the bts for season 1 they created statues for all the previous kings, now since Vissy T passed his statue will be installed within the throne room. I say all this to say I think this scene is connected to the scene of vyserys crown falling infront of the iron throne. In the dream sequence daemon is having, the crown might fall from the statue itself similar to season 1 Ep8 “lord of the tides”. But this probably won’t happen who am I kidding 😅

What if the starting dialogue in trailer of rhae is her telling jace about the prophecy

Between house of the dragon and dunk and egg and possible other shows on the horizon the future of this universe is very bright! :)

Rhaenyra and Deamon circling kings landing had been awsome end to the season

Yo, I think you got Addam and Alyn mixed up. Addam is the dragon rider I am pretty sure.

Promise me, Dave. ♥️

Looks like a new dragon behind rhaenyra in the trailer 🤔 didn't look like vermithor or her own dragon syrax unless all that was armor on its face

Maybe it’s Aemond in his mom’s(Alicent’s) lap???? Maybe he feels bad after he kills Luc

Maybe the woman cradling shirtless Aemond is Alicent. Nudity isn't exclusively sexual. It can also denote vulnerability. The clip could be from a scene in the first episode. Maybe Aemond is processing the fact that he killed his first person, a member of his own family no less, and is being comforted by his mother. It would make sense that he would privately confide in his mother that the killing was a mistake, while publicly proclaiming it as a triumph.

Hbo not letting people react to their trailers without copystriking them seems like terrible business to me, like why wouldn't you want your fans to be excited together?

I like that in episode one of the first season GH shows up in the tournament. It's like showrunners knew that if he shows up all of a sudden in season 2 it would be weird 😂 Too bad for Daeron though 😅

1:35:00 I think they want to trap Rhaenyra and Alicent's “ love for the enemy “phrase comes out.

🎉🎉🎉

Can’t get fooled again lol 😅

Could Nana and Vermithor do a stream together?

We need House Blackwood in this mofo or I'm going to be mad. Don't just skip past them and act like they House Glover in GOT.... House Blackwood are major players in this tale and need to be fully represented.

Dave, are you gonna enter your funky song into the contest?

I don’t think people have an issue with a woman wielding a sword in their self defense, more when they don’t train at all and are suddenly awesome at it. I think that works a little more with targaryens, given their mystical abilities, but I hope she sticks to what she’s shown to have trained with, dragon riding.

I was so stock5to see this this morning an now seeing your video I just saw your

Where is Nettles getting all these sheep from? It says she’s a thief so maybe she’s just stealing them all. Is she rich? Does she belong to some unknown sheep guild?!

The sensual throat-grabbing shot you're discussing around the 1:47 mark: That looks like Rhaenyra to me. Probably further exploration of their sexual dynamic and how it relates to how Daemon treats her outside of the bedroom. That choking moment from S1 will definitely have follow-up. I reckon Rhaenyra has to reconcile their sexual dynamic with their war-room dynamic, which will be the foundation of more rifts between them.

I wish the show comes up with a different theme song.

I feel Addam of Hull is going to tell Corlys Leanor is still alive. And also, he kinda looks like Leanor and at minimum, both of them have their heads shaved hmmm I feel Leanor is making a come back for the war to support team black

Larrys Strong, he is a wildcard, for sure! I think he has a agenda of his own, probably in cahoots with Alys Rivers who we have yet to see. I think they are playing both sides against eachother. Perhaps they want to put a Strong on the throne, that is one of Rhaenyra's kids. That would make them team Black, but in order to have any influence over that king they would need Rhaenyra and Daemon gone. As well as the Valaryons. And all of team Green. Not very likely. I think it has more to do with magic and prophesy. The Strongs are Old Gods worshippers. Could they be guided by the greenseers perhaps? Much of the war, back and forth, is centered around Harrenhal, controlled by the Stongs, run by Alys Rivers, a Strong bastard. Depending on the roumor she could be Larrys aunt and wet nurse and/or his sister. She could even be his mother. All agree she's a witch! She claims to see visions in clouds, pools and fires! That would make her a fire magic user like Melisandre but without any signs of R'hllor religion. The House Strong sigil has blue, red and green stripes on a field of white. It could be a sign of some sort of synthesis of different branches of magic. Alys seam to have water magic, fire magic and connection to weirwood magic. Seeing things in the clouds could even be considered air magic, and airomancers are supposed exist in Asshai, according to The World of Ice and Fire. Anyway, the House sigil may also be interpret as harmony between the different magic poles. The White could represent air but also ice... The green aspect of magic seems to be about balance and harmony. In order for nature to function we need we cannot have a winter forever nor a summer without end. There is obviously a lot of dragons at this time! Enough to start a new Valyrian Empire if the should unite! So I think the greenseers are influencing Alys to decimate the dragons or even exterminate them, knowing from glimpses of the future that they will come back in time to meet the Others' invasion. Bonusplan would be, to get a greenseer allied rider and dragon. And maybe they will...

I think they're wearing veils during the riot because they're still in mourning, not because its directly after the funeral. Mounring was historically a long process, particularly for women.

HOTD is just dragging their stuff all over ROP. LOL. ROP getting absolutely ratioed while HOTD getting love. Make good stuff and people will support it you maroons.

I don't think that's vermithor in the end scene. If you look at vermithor in season 1 with the brightness turned up, vermithor has very weird horns.. almost like fungus. This dragon at the end has actual horns.. so maybe it's silverwing?

I'm here for my Blood and Cheese rule 34 fanfic.

Aemond is panicking becuse he can get his keratin hair products. Curses Corlys

I'm not convinced that's Daemon's dragon ring. Viserys also had the same dragon ring and the woman looks similar to Aemma. It's too quick of a shot.

What if the white hair women, lying down us aemma, a flashback of aemma. Her side profile is similar

Anyone else think the HOTD showrunners feel like they don’t need Nettles because of how they cast the Velaryon’s?

I still think Nettles isn't going to be named "Nettles" so she might already be cast

They cut haelena's son maelor

Isn't Cregan Stark only like 18 at the time? He may be shaving because his beard isn't coming in very good yet....After he meets Aly I'll bet the beard is in full bloom.

One of the producers, Sara Hess, has said that there will be very little Sara Snow in Season 2. So pretty much taking this to mean Cregan Stark= “Sara Snow” theory confirmed 😂😂 j/k

The mysterious dancer looks like Dany - maybe it's a future vision from one of fhe Dragon Dreamers?

daeron😂😂😂😂

Please don't make the starks gay

The wigs in this show are so bad

01:40:00 I think it's Alicent and Aemond is crying in her lap for the Kinslaying he committed jokingly... That should be his lowest point in life and after this he never looks back

thanks for bringing the fans together, i look forward to experiencing the new season alongside everyone and hearing your commentaries and analyses 🔥 🩸 🔥 🩸
