Full Length uncut reaction to ep 9 available on our Patreon for those interested. We also have our GoT early access and full length reactions available too! www.patreon.com/spartanandpudgey

The coronation took place in the dragon pit, (as you figured out) that’s why Rhaenys was smiling when she was in the crowd. She was thinking “these idiots…” 🤣🤣

Otto wanted Aegon without Alicent in the scene bc he wanted to convince Aegon that he needed to kill Rhaenyra. Alicent would obviously be against that.

- What's this foot thing? - Maybe she just feels comfortable around him. You have a wholesome mind, Spartan. 😅

Actually Larys and allicents convo during her only fans moment, larys was talking about the white worm and her hand maiden. So the fire was set at the white worms quarters.

We only saw Meleys one time, briefly, when she was flying to King's Landing for the wedding of Laenor and Rhaenyra. Little tit-bit that they may or may not mention: Rhaenys is Meleys 2nd rider. Her 1st rider, was the mother of Viserys and Daemon. She took them each individually for a ride when they were babies.

Meleys the red queen considered the fastest dragon at the time

I couldn’t stop laughing when Spartan said Alicent didn’t know while she had her feet all up in the table😭 Also the burning building was where we saw white worm standing last ep when Alicent’s servant met her.

I appreciate a lot how you guys read Aegon's character, a lot of reactors just put him in a box of "evil dude always wanted the crown" but it's very different from that

"She gained a little respect from me this episode." "I hope she doesn't lose it." *cuts to the foot pic selling scene* lmaooooo

BEWARE THE BEAST BENEATH THE BOARDS!!! Helena calls it again.

Paddy who plays Viserys actually said in an KZfaq video I just watched this morning was he felt his character would have not received help on purpose because of him wife passing and of the guilt he felt so the line at his end when he says my love was improvised

The only difference between what Daemon did and what Criston did is that Vaemond was right in accusing Rhaenyra of having bastards while Beesbury was wrong in accusing Alicent of regicide.

Fun fact: Meleys ( Rhaeynys's dragon) also known as "The Red Queen" is the fastest dragon, she's even faster than Caraxes. Before Rhaenys she was ridden by Alyssa Targaryen, the mother of Viserys and Daemon.

One of the few reactors I look out for in HOTD reactions. Loving the GOT reactions too.

This is one of my favourite reactions to this episode just because you 2 were chearing for Alicent when she was advocating sparing Rhaenyra's and the Blacks' lives. Then not screaming at Rhaenys to kill the Greens. I admire the consistency. Other reactors are hypocrites.

I just have to say I laughed out loud when yall pointed out that Lord Caswell didn't get a fair trial.... such sweet summer children. Still watching but have you realized yet how the White Worm knew the king died?? Her informant, Talya, lit the candles in the window of the red keep as a signal. They've obviously been waiting for this moment!!

25:10 alicent didnt hear it as a prophecy, she heard it in bits.. she tought it was a dying wish.. she didnt know about the dream.

Pudgey is so spot on with so many of her predictions! I look forward to seeing her face while she works things out. You can see the wheels turning. XD

If u remember in epi 5 there was 2 dragons fly to the wedding 1 was sea smoke(laenor`s) the other meleys(rhaenys`s)

Spartan should really listen to pudgies theories and observations more because she more often than not is right and extremely on point, while spartans are more often than not wrong and way out of field (sorry spartan😂). Spartan said in one reaction that he doesn’t really listen to her or her theories for some reason, like how she realized Joffrey is Cersei and Jaime’s son very early, but he just didn’t listen to her or take her seriously, so he really should listen to her😅

Of course Alicent knows. Not only she knows, but she's been doing this for a while, is what the scene tells us.

Larys has leverage on queen allicent now. So for information and deeds needing to be done, he is basically blackmailing her now for her feet

As others have said, the coronation was held AT the dragon pit. The dragons are kept in caves underground. So that's where Rhaenys went and how Meleys came up from beneath them.

36:08 , You already saw Rhaenys Coming to the Wedding of Rhaenyra & Laenor on her Dragon MELEYS in Episode 5. Laenor was on SEASMOKE. 2) The Coronation happened in the DRAGON PIT. Rhaenys smirked because that's where she wanted to go to free her Dragon and the Crowd she was in was anyway being pushed by the Goldcloaks towards it. She got in without being noticed.

At the end, when Rhaenys' dragon roared...that was Rhaenys saying I could have killed you but I didn't. I think it was a message. I also think it fell on deaf ears. This was a great episode and reaction.

if Otto is the hand of the king, then alicent is the "foot" of the king. lol

I feel like Otto was particularly ruthless this episode because it was a race to get as much done as they could before word got to Rheanyra and her likely supporters

Never feel guilty about missing things- the community & moderators will help fill in any major gaps & people who want to share this journey with you will help and not blame because it’s a pleasure to share this show with others. This is a show which (for the most part…) invites multiple watches because interactions have multiple meanings. You are both a pleasure to share a reaction with & part of the fun is trying to guess what happens next.

I just want to say that Spartan and pudgey’s reactions sums up what I’ve noticed amongst other couples that react to the GOT’s universe, the women follow the story and the connections that the characters have with each other more closely and notice the small things going on more than the men, that isn’t saying that the men don’t care about the story or the connections it’s just they are more focused on the action and the big situations going on, so the women often have a better grasp of what’s going on and are able to predict what’s going to happen better than the men IMO

27:43 “I still don’t get this foot thi- oh 😮” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Aegons coronation was so fking cool, I loved the outfit and his sword (Blackfyre). I don’t really mind when they change things from the source material, but it’s a shame they didn’t include Ser Cristons Kingmaker speech at the small council.

22:50 she knows because Talya lit the candles at the window right after she informed Alicent

The burning building was Mysaria's house. The hooded figure was deff not Otto, but probably one of his lackeys, sent to burn down her house as a meessage for her not to overplay and try to blackmail the Hand again, maybe even to kill her. Or, maybe the lackey was sent by Larys, again on behalf of the queen, without her asking for it.

I think Helaena's prophecy has multiple interpretations. Until the literal beast beneath the boards this episode, I interpreted it as saying there's some danger brewing just out of sight, a forecast of the events to come. It could refer to Viserys's tendency to cover up all the tensions and pretend that everything is alright when it's not. It could also refer to the network of spies under floors and in the walls, a caution against people like Mysaria and Larys.

the guy that was hanged is from a big family house, he doesn't live in King's landing in a small house, this was the white worm house

Criston Coles actor said in an interview that he didn't actually best daemon at the tourney, he attacked daemon on his back when he already won, actor said he hopes people picked up on that, that criston was never an honorable fair dude from the get.

It's a shame that people give you flack for missing stuff, everyone is human and we're all here to enjoy your reaction with you so don't be hard on yourselves or take it too seriously. I guess sometimes people want you to have the best experience and not miss anything at all and sometimes come across overzealous. Personally I'm really enjoying the channel and the relationship between you guys, you each appreciate different aspects of the show and bounce off each other really well. Keep it up!

The head knight is also in another great show: Outlander.

I was blown away by the details in the coronation. It felt like watching Nicholas II being crowned in an Orthodox ceremony with all the hollow pomp & circumstance of a rotting system. It's what I'd always envisioned from a GoT coronation. Tom Glynn-Carney was terrific in bringing out Aegon's fear, hesitation, pride & euphoria all at once. I'm glad they kept much despised Criston putting the Conqueror's crown on Aegon II's head. The Kingmaker is born! What this show does very well is these details, down to locking up servants. Usually these passionate debates, the sense of treachery, the heartbreak are glossed over & we only see the regime change as a "fait accompli". This brings to life the mechanism that historically goes behind a coup, which I assume is as emotionally taxing for the people seizing power. That's why I liked agonized & conflicted Alicent more than her steadfast source counterpart. It's more flesh & blood. She vacillates but her messianic fear for her children fates her to make a cursed gamble. *Jokes aside, Tfw u only support Green Lives Matter King for the extermination of Strong Boys cause ur pro Valeryian blood supremacy.*

Erwin Smith on the shirt? Cool. Btw, he looks like Aegon The Conqueror, ha!

Larys has a foot fetish , he shares information with Alicent and for an exchange she shows him her feet :D as I understand it has been going on for a long time

LMAO Spartan is so innocent, how could Alicent ignore that this dude is touching himself watching her feet, they are sitted 4 feet apart and she took her socks off for him XDD

22:47 She knows because Talya lit those candles in the window. It was a prearranged signal that the King was dead. 28:42 That's because they are twins. The actors and the characters. 29:10 The one with Rhaenys is Erryk. The one staying loyal to Otto is Arryk. 29:15 No. That's Mysaria's (The White Worm) house. Burned down by one of Larys Strong's men. 29:40 Lol. You're so wrong here. As if Otto is personally going around burning peoples houses down.

The innocent reaction to the Foot Scene absolute classic 😂😂

Glad you guys are enjoying both the shows so much can't wait to see the rest of you game of thrones and house of dragon reactions

The coronation was *at* the dragon pit, which was why she burst out from underneath.

The hanging man was the guy they stopped at the gate… the burning house was the White Worms house.

I LOVED THE EPISODE!! SO MUCH TENSION. And as always loved ur reaction ❤️

The building where the coronation was held is the Dragonpit. The dragons of house Targaryen are held inside/underneath it.

In Westeros Kinslaying is the worst of taboos and not only that she would also be a Kingslayer. She is not the kind of person who would want to be titled a Kinslayer and Kingslayer.

Great reaction! It's been really interesting seeing you both grow with these series and become acclimated to the style of writing/storytelling. It's definitely different from others.

I read it Larys as playing Otto, rather Otto and Alicent at the same time. He goes along with Otto and finds info the White Worm, then trades info for feet with Alicent and executes her request.

This was an amazing episode and I love the ending because we finally got to see Rhaenys's dragon after all this time. The burning house I think was White worm's home and the one walking away was one of the many people Lyvois made to be his assasins. Helena most likely was crying because of what she saw was to come in the war and perhaps those she might loose of her family as well...not a spoiler only guesses at this point. Aegon was crying because he was being forced to do what he didn't want but then he saw how the people cheered for him and he started to like that fact also I am pretty sure he knows that his father's last words were not to make him king so he was upset aboit that as well because he felt like his father never loved him.

a cool symbol of this episode also was when dragons are used in war the small folk always suffer(when meleys Rhaenys dragon breaks through the ground of the dragon pit, I would guess like 100 innocent died. So the action was only semi moral high ground.) #teamsmallfolk

14:12 because Otto wants Rhaenyra killed and Alicent doesn’t

It was Mysaria's house that burned. Larys sent someone to do it.

the naivety of the foot scene was... hysterical!

The commander of the Kingsguard, Westerling, also plays a very important character in "Outlander"(great show btw) along with the actor who played poor Beesberry who was just killed this episode. I also very much hope they don't kill him off because the actor, Graham McTavish is just awesome.

I love this...Pudgey spotting most of what's going on and Spartan my dude going completely south🤣🤣...at the end of the day you all balance each other out and we love it.

We saw Aegon and Helaena's twin children this episode. They are a boy, Jaehaerys, and a girl, Jaehaera.

29:30 The guy walking was one of Larys's men who also burned Harwin and Lyonel Strong and the house was the White Worms house.

I think I'm in love with the faces Pudgey makes. Great reaction as usual.😆

Meleys, female dragon, is nicknamed the "Red Queen", she's Princess Rhaenys's dragon. 🔥🐲

Wasn't Otto in the cloak, was one of Larys' henchman burning down Mysaria's HQ.

I need a poster of Rheanys on that dragon! So badass!!

They should have called this episode "The Feet is Strong".

Ok so. I've seen people being real mad about that scene and calling it "random girl boss moment", and although I can't deny that it might've been part of the reasons why they decided this would happen, it also makes kind of sense. It'd be cool if Rhaenys escaped kings landing to tell everything to Rhaenyra, but at the same time letting the other side have her dragon (which is quite an imposing and powerful beast) would've been a real loss, and when she saw that the coronation would be held at Dragonpit, she jumped on the occasion. Now the armor she "randomly" got was a bit unnecessary, but I'm guessing inside dragonpit there are armors for dragonriders stored, so that's not that much of a stretch (and I'm guessing when you're litteraly breaking the ground on dragon back you better have some protection. What I am quite disappointed about however, is that she didn't burn them to a crisp. Obviously that would've ended the story and there wouldn't have been a civil war, but she really had no reason not to do it except maybe honor and sympathy. Had she killed them, Rhaenyra would've become queen, and branded them traitors for usurping the throne and betraying the word of the king, therefore making their death absolutely legal. Most houses in kings landing were spineless and bent the knee to Aegon just to live, so they would've done the same again and pledged their loyalty to Rhaenyra after she became Queen. Then afterwards, Rhaenyra the rightful heir, with the support of the Velaryon line, 6 dragons (+ the ones from Alicent's childrens), Rhaenys, Daemon and a few houses that actually liked her (the one who haven't been slaughtered by the hightowers yet that is; would've had an extremely strong claim and stable power. Too bad it's GOT and Rhaenys' gonna regret it soon :( Edit : Also, cool to see that Criston, in 20 years, is still as stupid, violent, impulsive and overall despicable as he was before.

I always watch the show twice because you can miss so much in the conversations. I love your reactions so don't worry about missing stuff. Tayla putting the candles in the window was the way that the white worm found out about Viserys death. After watching GOT you learn that you have to listen to the conversations they tell so much.

Alicent selling her feet is definitely one of the weirdest moments in GOT/HOTD history lol she definitely knew you could see it all I. Her face.

I love your reactions❤. Keep going guys

The Coronation was in the Dragon Pit.

You both are crazy! You both ARE PERFECT! ✨🙌🏽✨

Aegon was crowned in the dragon pit. That's why she was happy to be heading that way. When you guys say no event ever goes well on Game of Thrones, I'm sitting here waiting patiently for you to watch more GOT 🤗

It was Mysaria’s house/apartment. Larys said to take out the spiders you have to remove the head. Meaning murdering Mysaria.

I think the burning house was Mysaria's, the white worm. Larys offers Alicent to 'take care of the head". Also the guy in the hood i believe is one of Larys' men who burned down Harrenhal and killed Harwin Strong and his father Lionel the Kings hand.

Larys burned Mysaria's house. Erryk (Aegon's former guard) helped Rhaenys. Alicent knew about the foot fetish, that's their arrangement.

I love how the music that plays during Aegon’s coronation is his mother’s theme music. Truly symbolic of Alicent’s true desires.

Man I can't wait to binge this season. Been hearing good things about it

the coronation was in the dragon pit and the dragons caverns were beneath it. So Rhaenys sneaked down and due to the big crowds nobody noticed.

Larys has a lightning bug sigil that he created that he has on his cane. He also pinned the sigil to the guys whose tongues he cut isn't before sending tokill his father and brother at Harrenhall. The White Wyrm reminds me of Varys with wanting what is good for the people.

Regardless of what Alicent believes to be the truth, Rhaenyra is still the heir, and she still helped Aegon usurp the throne. Even though she has the best of intentions its still treason.

The story that's being told in this show is a period in Targaryen history called The Dance of the Dragons.

We have to put Criston defeating Deamon into proper context. Deamon had knocked Criston on the ground and turned to the crowed to gloat. Maybe Cristan can beat Deamon but I would put my money on Deamon.

as always not only cool reactions, but good discussion about the episode

I don't mind at all if you guys miss out on some information. I'm sort of a fanatic who has seen the show twice, read the books 3 times, and talks about GOT with my therapist, as first time watchers you've caught on to everything so far and quicker than I did the first time around. One of the initial things I liked was when you pause the episode, say your thoughts and continue! I'm really liking everything and the way your channel is progressing!! :) Mysaria is my personal fave in this episode, I'm mad about how the coronation scene went since I didn't get a single "long live the queen" from the books 😤 I would've been shouting 😭#teamblack !!

When you said "maybe she's comfortable around him" I almost choked on my tea! Lol

Great reaction again. Pudgey is on it... she sees all the details! Your timing is incredible between the 2 episodes. Alicent knew about Larys... and his foot fetish... its a sort of payment for information and loyalty I guess.

Thing for telling Arrck and Errck apert. Arrck begins with A for Alicent, Aegon, and Aemond. Errck begins with E for... (this one's trickier.) aEmma's daughter. The actress who plays Rhaenyra is named Emma, so that works too.

It wasn’t otto, it’s one of Larys fireflies killing Mysaria.

I love the way Pudgy says "I kneerrrrooowww'

Otto the Hand and Alicent the foot 😂😂😂

LOL @ Spartan this episode. Thinking Alicent is not aware of the foot fetish in that scene. Also, thinking Otto would personally go and burn someone's house down 😂😂

Also, just a note: the coronation was taking place inside the Dragonpit; that's what the structure they're all standing in is called.

Alicent was trading for info. She was 100% aware. Definitely considering Rhaenys words tho in that moment imo. Keep up the excellent work 🤩 🤩

It’s one of Larys silent assassins that burned the White Worms quarters.

the place that was being burned was Mysarias + it was one of Larys' people. That's what Alicent and him were talking about.

I feel bad that you guys are getting flack for missing things, I study film and one of the first things we learn is how to become an "active viewer" and constantly work your brain while youre watching a show/film. Pudgey is definitely an natural active viewer but Spartan is not and thats not a bad thing at all!! Even I find myself not being an active viewer a lot of the time because you can become so easily invested that you don't really think about what you watch until afterwards! I know that I would have missed a HECK of a lot if I hadn't watched YT videos on this show. Keep watching how you guys watch and don't worry too much about it because I enjoy that Spartan watches to simply watch and Pudgey catches on and it creates an interesting dynamic between you both and I'm here for it!
