The way Rhaenyra looked at Alicent like "Girl I know you didn't start all this nonsense over a bedtime story 🙄" had me so weak ☠️☠️☠️

It's so nice to have a dark scene but still be able to see what the actual fuck is happening

Thank you Adam for acknowledging that there are no photos in Westeros lmfao. See so many people say things like, 'how is she not being recognized?!' Like bro it's not like everyone sees the queens face as much as we do they prob just have a vague idea of what she looks like, and if the hair is covered there's no way some random would be able to recognize her off of face alone.

"The throne?" "It's a big chair. Made of swords."

If Whoopi taught us anything. A nuns habit is the best disguise

"he can no longer seal his bowels" "But he can dance!" Me, imagining that combination of images.

Milly Alcock is a treasure, happy to see her back in the cameo

“Drop Trou, assert Dominance” and “you’re not gonna say anything about my battle haircut?” made be snort laugh like an idiot 😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣

Criston with a new haircut. Criston with a new fancy necklace he had made. He has time for all that, but not enough to ever do his goddamn job.

“Trot that runway, mama!” 😂😂

something i think this episode was good at was letting us know where rhaenyra and alicent stand with each other right now. how complex it all is in that they do still love each other and want to get through to the other but there’s so much in the way of that. i read an article about this episode and they said ‘it feels like each time alicent and rhaenyra are shut down, they think of each other, as if they’re wishing that their closest friend up until this point was with them to defend them. even amidst family deaths that they believe the other guilty for, these two are still yearning for a relationship that is impossible in the world they find themselves in, and it makes it all the more tragic.’ and i really saw that in their interaction this episode

Ulf the White was shown last week. He was the guy on the street that grabbed a piece of fruit out of a basket when someone walked past him.

In case you haven’t heard: Grover Tully is an old man. He has a grandson named Elmo and two great-grandsons named Kermit and Oscar. No, I am not joking.

So far, HotD is doing a much better job with their "Not In The Book" additions/adaptations than GoT did.

In the TV show, it has been confirmed three of the eggs are the ones Dany gets.

Best joke I’ve heard is that Westeros would be a super advanced society, even ahead of ours, if the Targaryens didn’t name all their kids Aegon.

The two Houses fighting at the start were Blackwoods and Brackens. They don't really need a reason to fight each other. Just a place. Also, the Blackwood was Samwell. We saw him last season. He was the eight year old who gutted the teenage Bracken who kept insulting him when the young Lords were courting young Rhaenyra.

Alicent was having nun of it

I sing along with a couple of KZfaqrs opening theme songs but yours is the only one i hand dance to too 😊😂

so obsessed with rhaenyra threatening to kill alicent and her just being like honestly at this point do it

Between HotD and The Boys, Jay is going to be an expert on how the lighting system works.

You know you did a great impression of someone, when you scare yourself at how accurate it is. 😁 Also Jay would totally be the Maester of Whispers in Westeros. But, the cool, jolly one, that no one suspects. 😁

"I wonder when Jay and Adam are gonna post Episode 3...." *Refreshes KZfaq* "POSTED 38 SECONDS AGO" *CLICK*

Alicent at the end 🤷🏻‍♀️ ooopsies! Also… has that dagger been in EVERY season of GoT/HotD? I remember it from season 1 forward on GoT

Rhaenyra channels the Conciliator, Jaehaerys, to avoid war. Alicent, **Pikachu Face** ---Alicent has left the chat. Rhaenyra switches channeling to The Conqueror, Aegon.

Alicent went from "W-Wait, whut?" to "Well fuck it, we're down the rabbit hole!" very fast 😂

It's good for Rhaenyra's motivations to know the truth of what her father said but it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme. Viserys council (Green council) would have pushed for Aegon as King regardless. Otto pretty much assured it. War has been inevitable.

criston’s necklace is his hand of the king necklace because you can’t put the pin in armor.

Haelena Is Just 18 Years Of Age And A Lot Of Emotions Flow Through You In Your Teenage Years, Above That When You Give Birth To A Child In Your Teens & Then Lose Your Child In Your Teens It Mentally Shatters You. One Of My Cousin Sisters Went Through The Same Situation, She Gave Birth To Baby Girl When She Was 17 But Lost Her Daughter Because Of Some Oragan Disease In 2 Years When My Cousin Sis Was Just 19. This Incident Completely Shattered Her And Her Husband (Then Boyfriend), Like For 3 Years My Sis Was In Severe Depression And Was Not Able Even A Slight Smile & Happiness On Her Face But Me As A Brother And Our Entire Family Supported Her Through Tough Time And At The End She Overcame Depression, Now She Is 28 Years Old And Just Recently Gave Birth To Baby Boy Twins, My Sis Is Very Happy & Healthy Now. When Me And My Cousin Sis Binge Watched The First 3 Episodes Of HOTD Season 2, My Sis Had Tears All Over Her Face And Said Even Though Haelena Is Fictional But She Could Literally Experience Her Pain Of Losing A Child.

Jay's right. The sets, costumes, CGI, the dragons, music, it's all great but you need the real stuff, the storytelling and the dialogues. Otherwise is filling like fastfood, but not satisfying like dinner at a proper restaurant.

Rhaenys really should have been queen, she would have done an amazing job

The shot of the crow is to throw a shout at the book A Feast for Crows, from the series, and also to hint at war causing so much death, that it’s literally a feast for crows

Man, Sister Act 3 is looking wild!

Uh sir there is no keeping Daemon on a leash, that’s the issue.

I absolutely love watching these. The OMG/WTF scenes and how you react to them make my day. Between this and THE BOYS I am never disappointed.

By the way guys something that everyone either missed or left out of the editing (or both, as left out cuz they missed it) The servant girl in the tavern the one tipped then slapped in the ... at Ulf the dragonseed's table, It's Diana the chambermaid who was sent away by Alicent in season one with a silver bag and moon tea. After what Aegon did to her.... She was also seen terrified while serving him but he didn't recognize her. He was too busy teasing his squire and throwing peanuts at him.

Baela, though. Moondancer REALLY wanted that delicious canned meat. But Baela was able to call her off.

Otto Hightower actually ordered a Kingsguard to kill Rhaenyra and her kids immediately after the death of Vicerys, so it is naive of Rhaenys and Rhaenyra to think he wouldn’t do it.

I didn’t think there was a way this show could make me hate Criston Cole any more… then they gave him a haircut.

If I did the maths right, if Crispin fails in the Riverlands, he becomes King.

My Favorite HOT D Episodes 1. 1x7 Driftmark 2. 1x3 Second Of His Name 3. 1x8 The Lord Of The Tides 4. 1x10 The Black Queen 5. 1x5 We Light The Way 6. 2x2 Rhaenyra The Cruel 7. 1x1 The Heirs Of The Dragon 8. 1x9 The Green Council 9. 1x4 King Of The Narrow Sea 10. 2x1 A Son For A Son 11. 1x2 The Rogue Prince 12. 2x3 The Burning Mill 13. 1x6 The Princess And The Queen 2x4 featuring the Battle at Rook’s Rest looks to be a top 3 all-timer. Love you, cousin!

Harrenhall is the only castle big enough to host big army’s, and it is perfectly placed in the middle of the Riverlands. Harrenhall gives the upper hand to whomever gets it.

9:30 I came up with the same name Littlefoot and thought "oh my God it's too perfect!" and now that's what I exclusively call him

Somehow, I can't see Aegon's drinking buddies giving their lives for the king if it comes to that. I believe it was said somewhere that the kingsguard was not meant to be a reward for the king's sycophants.

I am so totally Team Rhaenys. She should have been Queen to begin with and has more sense than everyone else combined.

not even the cows survived that battle🐮🐮🐮

Unrelated to the video but where did you get that Father of Cats t-shirt.

When they showed the dead Bracken on the ground, I looked to my gf & said "Someone get him a cough drop .. cuz he has a sword throat!" Then I kinda sat there waiting for acknowledgement like you guys do sometimes. lol

One of the thing I love so much about you guys is how Adam, you're always looking out for Jay and check in with him. It's not done in jest but in concern.

“Housekeeping” you guys are so funny.

“Stay a while and listen.” Fantastic Deckard Cain impersonation. Diablo 2 is still one of my favorites.

I love you two! I've included you in a fan reaction compilation for this episode, I hope you enjoy it!

It’s Jay, and Adam flipping castles. There’s actually a lot of potential profit in refurbished forts. You get some refrigerated air in those hallowed halls & some gator-gar in the moats, and you’re basically printing money. We now know that the evil Adam clone sounds like Aemond Targarian.

No mention of....uh...THAT shot in the brothel? XD

As Jay said "Trot that horse armor". Hello Adam! Thanks Guys.

And now we dance…the flamingo LOL

I always wait for your reaction. You both are funny and relatable.

So no one's gonna talk about Emma's performance in this episode?

Yes, they are the eggs that Danaerys will receive.

Well, technically, the town of Bayeux got to the weaving of tapestry first.

Those eggs are confirmed to be Dany’s eggs, the silver one is Morning, Rheana’s dragon

loved the reaction, big love to you epic noodles!~ onto the next (when it drops!~)

Daemon's helmet reminded me of Eomer's in LOTR

19:46 OMGGGGG I'm currently reading that!!!!!!!!!!! (at 70% ... also, the graphic audio is soooo good!)

Guys, great trailers came out !!! You need to react ! Trap trailer 2 (looks fantastic), Hellboy the croocked man, Flight Risk, Nosferatu, Here, Red One, Smile 2, Heretic

We get a West Side Story and a Top Gun references from Adam this video. lol Nice. 👍

I don't necessarily think Alicent's 'it's too late Rhaenyra' means she'll do nothing. The seed of doubt has clearly been planted. The way Olivia Cooke played the scene and said its too late seems more like a 'I don't know what I can do now it's so far gone' instead of a 'fuck you you're wrong my son's the king'. Olivia even said in an interview that this moment kicks off the start of the rest of Alicent's life so it clearly has an impact.

Jay, thanks for the Warcraft peon flashback!

13:35 see the funny thing is one of the show writers said he likes to think 3 of those eggs are Danny's, meanwhile the greater community as a whole is disagreeing that they aren't. See back when king Jahaerys was young is eldest sister Rhaena, first rider of Dreamfyre had a close friend/lover called Ellisa Farman and they lived on Dragonstone. Ellisa tho grew bored and wanted to sail west of Westeros, because no one knows what is there. Rhaena forbid it, so Ellisa stoll 3 dragon eggs, likely Dreamfyres due to knowledge of were they were thabks to Rhaena, and took a ship to Pentos and made her way overland to Braavos under the name Alys Westhill and secured an audience with the SeaLord of Braavos selling him the eggs. These 3 eggs are the ones that people believe to be Dannys. In addition not only does Dreamfyre look like Dannys dragons, but Balerion wss also on Dragonstone at the time, and given how much it is said that Drogon looks like Balerion reborn its likely his the father.

silence for the intro? why? everyone else uses it. copyright? ok... made me stop and post this. bad choice.

I like the GoT intro better and not sure why they need to change it. I liked seeing where we would be focusing each episode when it would show the location.

The eggs are not Dany's (unless they do that for the show only). But the episode director intend to give us the idea that they are. She didn't considered the books, but only one of them goes with the boys to Pentos, for Viserys. The other 3 stay with Rhaena. They resemble Dany's but even in this take are diferent.I can't explain more without spoilers hahah But three eggs were stolen during Jaehaerys' reign, taken to Essos and were never officially found. Btw, you guys are the best of the best ♥️

The most shocking moment to me was that the last few bars of music in the episode sound straight out of the Witcher 3 soundtrack.

Gotta love the Tommy Boy reference lol

I cackled at enjoy my snot rag. More like enjoy my sweaty, snot rag. 🤮🤮

Incredible dance moves from Jay 👏🏻

the way i audibly gasped when milly alcock appeared (shes the loml)

Honestly loving the perspectives of the common folk in this show so far, it’s an angle of the civil unrest that game of thrones doesn’t touch on nearly as much Honestly it’s a wonder the common folk don’t full on rebel against the nobility at any point in these shows

Adam, you said it wrong. It's THE FLAMINGO. 😜😅😅

If Rhaenyra never kills any of the Greens, how is she going to get her throne back?

@19:06 Sorry Jay. Baela’s dragon is named Moondancer, not Trogdor the Burninator.

Screaming dracarys as soon as I see baela and moondancer!!! Burn it all girl!! 🔥 🐲 🔥

This show is so damn good

Very glad they came to a conclusion for the whole "It's all just an honest mistake by Alicent, it was all a misunderstanding". Now Alicent and Rhaenyra both know what really was said and what Vicerys probably meant. Sure, we know Otto would have still attempted a coup. But I'm just glad that we are now past that trope.

22:35 CRIMSON SKY 😂😂

First of all, yes, a Westeros RTS would be AMAZING. Second, me, watching yall barrel towards the scene I warned you about but failed to give you a vague indicator of when it was gonna show up: 😕🙁☹️😟😨😱😱😱😱😱 I am so sorry Jay.

You don't remember Criston Cole's name? really? But, "ooh, lah lah!!"

Rhaenyra wanted Aemond not the kid so it not her fault I blame Daemon entirely on that. And the way Rhaenyra said it could have meant two things either want Aemond alive or dead. And she can't get rid of Daemon because he is her best warrior and has a big dragon.

Momma Jay, can I have a caprisun??

Was that conversation at the end of the day between them after her Otto Hightower was father was killed maybe by that manipulating limp? . He is the ancestor of Little Finger by the way..It seems that they both lost control of the events at that point in time I think.

I love you guy's , you are the only reactors that gave Rhaenyra credit for trying to advert war and you didn't say ,but it's to late.

I love the Dragon sounds!! 🥰

If Jay is looking for a new RTS, have a look at Stormgate. As someone who spent too much time in Starcraft, I am very excited about this game.

That was NOT Rhaenyra's fault AT ALL! She can't control Daemon, no one can. She never even said she wanted him to go kill Aemon, let alone a child. When she found out, she immediately kicked him out, as I was hoping she would. She's one of the few good and honorable people in this story, and easily my favorite.

I laughed way too hard at the foot puns.

The NEW EPISODE PEEEEEEPS!!

2 out of 7 helmets were strategically omitted from this reaction! 🍆😳🤣

The eggs are Dany’s

One of my favorite aspects of this show is how it's gone out of its way to show how misogyny has affected the history of Westeros. And that's because the histories were written by men. It's just another layer mostly for bookreaders to enjoy. But we also see how awesome Rhaenys and Rhaenyra are. If they were male, no one would question them.

Its Criston Cole but Crispin Cole fits muchs better 😂
