"That's your wife and your sister".. Bruh I almost spat out my drink 😂

Aegon at that council realizing nobody genuinely cares about him or his son, and that he has no control amongst his people, is probably the biggest reason he made his decision to choose Cole, someone who despite his flaws is more loyal than a dog.

17:55 He meant it tho, Blood mentioned that Daemon asked "a son for a son" if they didn't find Aemond. What happened to Jeahaerys was pretty much Daemon's plan B.

The funeral might seem crude and unsightly, but you gotta hand it to Otto, he chose the best way to move forward. Remember that If they don't win this war, all of them are dead. So you don't really have any option to grieve as you pleas

I think like Aegon, Viserys didn't want to be king, but it was up to the voters, not him.

Otto's issue was never being a bad hand. To be honest, he's probably the most competent hand in the series we've seen which is just sad. His issue is that he puts his and his families' ambitions above the realm.

Rhaenyra couldn’t get up because she couldn’t tell the twins apart and she could’ve easily gotten hurt or died if she made the wrong move.

Ever since the early reactions of aot you provided some of the best and most thoughtful commentary in the entire platform. Even now it's so refreshing to see someone with understandable criticism and favoritism towards all characters and not like most other people just say "green bad aegon bad black good" And can show sympathy for both sides. I appreciate that.

I find it interesting that people applaud Alicent for gaining agency, but then criticize her for using her indepenxe in a way that they don't like.

To be fair, what could Aegon even say to Helaena that would be worth saying? Or bring her any comfort? "Sorry our child died" its not like they're super in love

I laugh so hard on the hate of Cole 😂😂 he’s different from Joffrey the hate for him is pure anger

Daeron is real!

I think there is some misunderstanding about why Alicent gave Rhaenyra so much shit in season 1. The main problem Alicent had with Rhaenyra in season 1 (at least as far as I gather) was that Rhaenyra wanted to be THE queen, but wanted absolutely nothing to do with the sacrifices required to become one. Like actively making decisions weakening her claim to the throne, and as a cherry on top, she tried to get her bastards married to Alicents daughter, which is basically a slap in the face. Alicent at the time probably had some resentment because she did everything right, made a bunch of a sacrifices, while Rhaenyra basically did whatever she wanted with no consequence.

you noticed the visions with helaena and rhaenyra with the ashes? it symbolizes war between dragons while they burn the city to ashes

I’m confused with rhaenyra she acts like she wasn’t the one begging for daemon’s help last season when he planned to leave the entire country with his daughters after his wife’s funeral and return to pentos. She did the same thing as her father and just assumed daemon said something when even us as watchers have no proof. The writers did a good job of showing us that aegon and rhaenyra are related by them getting emotional and ruining their relationship with their greatest asset right before war breaks out

16:58 No, he does not want the throne for himself. It's about him being rejected by his brothers that he resents.

Addam saw Seasmoke... Laenor's former dragon that still resides on the Velaryon island Driftmark. It's a little unusual, wild dragons live on Dragonstone, on the volcanic mountains.

I find it so funny one people expect Agon to think rationally like bro you know how he is and he just lost his son what do you expect?

To me this was a beautifully shot episode with lots of well done dialogue, im really enjoying this show and i enjoy how different it is from GOT. Sooo much of this show is about being trapped in a role determined by others/society, numerous characters are in a place they dont want to be because of society's rules or others saying "you can't do this/you have to do this" Great reaction and the fanbase/comments are fun, enjoy and be well y'all.

That white dragon you saw is called SkySmoke , and its lenor dragon .

"some good may yet come of it" and "This could be a good thing" are not the same.

25:23 tbf he did take accountability because he was going to kill himself immediately after killing Joffrey at the wedding and sleeping with Rhanerya until allicent saved him. So in reality it's Allicents fault that he's struggling with his guilt of breaking his oath which is causing him to project onto Arryk.

I agree with everything you said about Rhaenyra and daemon except 1 thing daemon isn't the most loyal to Rhaenyra it's totally Rhaenys

39:52 Alicent's exact thoughts at that moment

Why do people say crispy is the worse choice even tho I hate him he’s the best imo especially in a time of war

i like ottos actor i hope he stays in the show

A lot of women went to sleep Sunday dreaming of Criston Cole.

r.i.p. arryk & erryk --- both twins were duty-bound, loyal and honorable, but in this show threats to your honor can make you the puppet of scoundrels.

The Rogue Prince Daemon Targaryen his Dragon name is Caraxes The Blood Wyrm

In the bts they say that moment between Heleana and Aegon is like a silent moment where they both understand each other’s pain and acknowledge each other silently. But I don’t think they do a good job of conveying it. It looks more like Aegon giving her the cold shoulder more than anything. Which sucks because that would actually be such a good character development for their relationship.

They are in times of war. Its terrible but it IS the right call when they need to gain forces to win the war. They even said how people still want to support Rhaenrya and remember they don’t want to surrender so people WILL die to end the war. Aegon won’t give up the throne so unless the Blacks KILL Aegon, the war wont end. In the Green’s mindset, they hope to get Rhaenyra to surrender to stop the war so yeah they have to do whatever they can to get enough forces if they ideally want each side to survive rather than have one wipe out the other. As I said, its fucked up but yeah its necessary. Unfortunately Aegon ruined it all by losing his cool

I honestly felt for Aegon in this episode. I really didn’t blame him when he lashed out and killed all those rat catchers out of anger and frustration. It was obviously a heinous act for sure, but he made it EXTREMELY clear that he wanted to retaliate and that there was no questioning that order from the King, yet everyone around him, ESPECIALLY Otto, treated Jaehaerys death like a opportunity to gain power and a chance to take leverage in the war. Aegon didn’t care about power or strategy - he truly just wanted revenge for them killing his baby boy, which deeply humanizes him and really makes us feel bad for him. At some point, I just have to have respect and admiration for someone who just says f*** this stupid “game of thrones” and acts like a human being in this world. (not a good human per say - but someone who has emotions and lets them go too far at times)

Lets not forget….. rhaenyra quite actually begged daemon to not leave to pentos and marry her🤷‍♂️ but hey what do I know

Alt Shit X's first break down had tons of spoilers. Funny enough they are going precisely by the book this time. Soooooooooo ya.

you should react inside the episodes from actors and showrunners

Aegon was r wording women last season soo idc about his feelings like that

Aemond and daeron are the goats of team green. But i commend aegon for fighting in his own war.

Allyn and Adaam are to believed to be bastards of Corlys Velaryion. The dragon you see appear over is Seasmoke, Laener( Rhaenra’s first husband)’s dragon. Both brothers side with the Black side of the family.

Team Greeeen!!!! 💚

Cole and Alicent deserve each other. Outside of Daemon they are the absolute worst.

More Slime soon?

Aegon couldnt have chosen a better hand, This is war, Otto is a perfect hand for peace times not for war times, if Rhaenyra falls the war is over and with that Twin uff a hell of a whole lot more of a plan than the stupid Daemon´s, that plan is soo brilliant, period. Rhaenyra is the main person to blame for all the innocent lives lost in this shit and i have many arguments to defend my position besides most of the lords of westeros dont give a fuck about those ratcatchers, in the upside, they would consider that as a trait of a king who punishes the ones who are not loyal to him but that action in particular has all the negative effect on the smallfolk. ohh and Rhaenyra is 100% responsible for that child´s death too because she sent killers through Daemon and they killed, so wtf is she talking about? By culpability she is 100% responsible of that baby´s death besides Rhaenyra has already killed an innocent guy before obtaining the iron throne sooooo. At least Aegon did that coz he is suffering immeasurably and after obtaining the iron throne and of course was a stupid decision

Criston, not Christian...please, I beg you 😂

The disrespect to Daemon makes me mad yeah he’s extreme but he does what needs to be done! He put the crown on BOTH their heads his brothers when it fell and his wife’s the king died he has never once shown that he wants to snake his family ever!! He does do some crazy dumb stuff that kinda puts them in a worst position but he does it to prove himself and when he does do something they hit him with the why did you do this what did you do😂😡

my predictions- Aegon is killed this season Aemond is crowned king Aemond vs Rhaenyra Criston cole killed by daemon

Why so annoyed in this video?

I love how triggered you get over criston Cole the incel lol😂

Adam and alyn are corly sons
