Daemon just misheard, when he was told to come to Kings Landing to “bend the knee” he came to “bend the niece”

This was probably Visery’s second best episode as a character. The way he showed the complexity of not trusting Rhaenyra but also protecting her position as heir.

8:51 Sir Harwen is the one who smiled at her when she walked by with blood in her hair from her fight with the boar. He likes her boldness.

There's a reason Daemon is GRRM's favourite character. Dude is a menace and has a craving for attention lol.🤣 Loved Daemon from years now.

Viserys says "your blood" to Otto as if Aegon isn't his son. He really believes he only has one child subconsciously.😂

You really are one of the few reactors to this show that manage to understand the complexity of the characters and read the motivations in the situations so quickly. I love it👌

Ur one of the few people who so far who watches this show fairly. U recognize the problem each character does n ain’t a blinded fan. So happy you recognize the problems with the king, Rt, and the situation with Cole. New subscriber coming ur way.

I like to call this one “the horny episode” cuz everyone’s Feelin a bit different this episode 😂😅

I love this reactor, she understands the characters, she's intelligent, rational and also reads emotions very well.

Daemon never wanted to piss Viserys off. he loves him. But also he's Daemon. And not even Daemon can control Daemon

Oh come on SoFie- that late night excusrsion was completely innocent on Daemon's part!! LOL

This episode shows how lit King's Landing was at night. Well at least under the rule of a fairly good king/queen.

Go a step further with that analysis of why Daemon was turned off when - as you said" Rhaenyra began to take control. I think it is that control part that he had issues with. He wants to be in control- feels he knows what is best. He doesn't need to be the face of power but THE power behind the face. In that moment he was thrown off because Rhae is not easily going to turn over and let him lead as he thought she would. THAT to me is the source of his conflict. Not- as some others say- guilt.

Daemon and Rhaenyra 💥 The actors played passion and chemistry very cool. Daemon never aspired to the Iron Throne. He wants power and respect, but not necessarily as the next king. He wants them to show even more of the power of the Targaryen family! Fortify their home. Charismatic character)

Jaehaerys may not have named her his heir, but he had quarrels with his wife, Good Queen Alysanne (the one Rhaenyrs refers to as great grandmother in the beginning of this episode). She used to say that their firstborn, little princess Daenerys, should be queen, even though she had little brothers (Rhaenys's father, and Viserys and Daemon's father). And she once told the maesters of the Citadel that if they opened the gates for women to become maesters, they would be pleasingly surprised by the outcome.

Matt smith put the demon in Daemon😂

This is my favorite episode of the season. Millie Alcock is absolutely amazing in this ep.

I just realized that probably Viserys and Alicent created one of the worst monsters in Westeros history in this sex scene.💀💀

This episode highlighted how diff alicent nd rhaenyra are treated. They are the same age alicent is viserys child bride married at 15 forced to carry his children and have sex when she doesnt want to (maritial rape) but rhaenyra at 18 is still a child in viserys eyes. Daemon was gross here he purposefully tried to ruin rhaenyra and her reputation just so he can get close to power. I feel so bad for both of them.

I want to see those fine tapestries from Norvos and Qohor

This was a mistake by Viserys. He should have allowed Daemon to wed Rhaenyra that would have solved a bunch of problem.

Genuinely always amused that when Otto tells the King that his daughter was in a pleasure house he's like "Ok and? Do I owe somebody money or something?"

Ser Harwin ❤ Remember him, he will be important... Greetings from Germany❤

Viserys has no problem with incest him and daemon’s parents were brother and sister

Rhaenyra owes Alicent NOTHING. 😅

whats funny is the entirety of game of thrones is based on British history. basics -Celts=the first men -Anglo-Saxons=the Andals -Normans=Targaryen's -Hadrian's wall=the wall -the channel islands=the step stones -the massacre of glencoa=the red wedding -the Anarchy, a two-decade period from 1135 to 1154, when a man and a woman vied with each other for the English throne=house of the dragon. -The War of the Roses=game of thrones but in recent history after the late queen, there is knowledge that the some of the more recent royal including princesses have been very "liberal" and slept with multiple royal guards like rhaenyra did christen.

Rhaenyra's life would be so much better if daemon was never in it

Well done for catching that Otto is working with Mysaria (the White Worm). Keep an eye on her. This was the episode that turned me off Rhaenyra initially although future events brought me back to her side. That's the thing with this series, the characters are complex and you'll find yourself torn from one to the other. It's very well written and acted. Get ready for time jumps though haha

This episode really does make you understand Otto. He’s given this golden goose that could give him everything he wants but at the same time he hesitates because he knows Viserys won’t take it well. He has served as hand for a long time earning great power despite being a second son. In the end he does much to benefit Westeros as hand but can’t let go of the one selfish dream that overrules his sense of duty.

He is coming

that child is a future war hero, no spoiling anything else.... lets just say rhaenyra would be safe

I think the way the s*x scenes are filmed show clearly that this episode was filmed by a woman. They are totally different than this kind of scenes in GOT.

the white walkers woke up BECAUSE Robert ended the Targaryen dynasty...once Robert was on the throne, it was over with

Looking fine, Sofie!

Uncle taking out his niece on the night of adventure...ah, Targaryens xD... cmon, it's not like they are siblings or something

You understand wrong. Daemon actualy did have sex with Raenyra(according of course how it is shown in the show). He just did not finish the job.

Does anyone know if she provides the video for Patreon or do I have to sync up mine with hers?

Be ready

20:08 I love every time Viserys tells the prophecy to his daughter Rhaenyra and Daenerys' theme always plays in the background, she's the princess that was promised!

Well, in GOT they never explained what the Night King's plan was to cross the wall, supposedly the wall was protected with magic and that's why Benjen Stark couldn't cross it (although this contradicts season 1). The Night King was literally very lucky (or plot assisted) that a Targaryen flew over the wall and brought not one but THREE dragons with her (Jon's plan to capture a wraith was a very, very stupid plan). The dragon was the escape method that the dead needed from the beginning. So if Roberh managed to kill Daenerys, Viserys, and Jon Snow, then the prophecy wouldn't have mattered because without a dragon, the army of the dead wouldn't have been able to cross the wall, plus, King's Landing wouldn't have been destroyed. It's hard to see it like this but Robert was right when he called for Daenerys's death. The series screwed up the story so much that in the end there was no point in reviving the dragons because in the end only 1 was left alive, which means that the species will become extinct. Again.

Rhaenyra this episode be like "How dare you accuse me of something I almost did 😠 who tf told you 😠" Alicent this episode be like "How dare you lose your virginity to your uncle 😠 you were supposed to lose it to your stepmother instead 😠"

I like to think Rhaenyra, did not drink the portion which could make her first born a interesting situation...

From this episode onward it gets better and better. The first 4 were set up.

If Otto wanted to destroy Rhaenyra's reputation he wouldn't have gone straight to her dad with the information, especially since we know he can get a word around... i honestly think Viserys projected some of his anger for his brother towards Otto in that moment, like at the end of the day he was just being made aware of something lmao like is the Hand honestly supposed to keep this stuff from the King? Also how is he gonna say he got played when Alicent was being her regular ass self and he wanted her to keep quiet (so he knew) yet he picked her bc of his alleged feelings, he still counts on her to be his version of a good wife and so on and so forth, like for someone who got played he seems to find the game really useful idk it seems like it was a very welcome "distraction" to me. And if he thinks she was being disgustingly used as a pawn by Otto then why keep using her that way? that's without touching on a lot of things but the narrative that Viserys was bamboozled and clueless makes about zero sense This whole brothel thing and the lies that come with it have insanely far-reaching consequences when you think of it like it put a real dent into everyone's trust, it's when one side decided that doubling down was gonna be the only thing they do and it's the sole reason Rhaenyra was "forced" to marry someone she didn't initially pick. The subsequent conversation w Alicent is so funny to me bc it's the first real time where people distort and misrepresent where Alicent's coming from and why she seems so invested (there are at the very least 3 reasons that come way before "she's jealous bc she doesn't orgasm" - mind you she's being raped but we move). I'm counting it as "the first real time" bc it's only slightly less ridiculous than the notion that she manipulated, seduced and forced Viserys' hand into marrying her (or that anyone did, for that matter) - unless existing as a slightly older version of the child he knew is what is being considered as the vile calculated seduction... (the script confirms that that's all it took) And although making Alicent seem entirely more sinister than she is is a very prominent and persistent trend i do appreciate that it hasn't happened once during those 4 reactions so far. Either way i've been enjoying hearing your thoughts, looking forward to the rest of the season ! Take care 💕

I think this and the next are 2 worst eps. And still aren’t totally bad. But the beginning and the last couple eps are sooooo great. Can’t wait!

Daemon stopped kissing his niece because he initially was doing it to get one over on his brother by seducing her, but he realized as they were making out, that he really cared for her and didn't want to use her like that, so he hit the eject button. He got the result he wanted in a strange way without actually going through with it after the spies saw them.

Have you read the books?

the horny ep!

Alicent is just jealous and misplacing her anger. She continues to toil in service of men, and stare out the window of her prison, while Rhaenyra has the courage to stick it to the men around her (ending her suitor tour and going out of the castle with Daemon). Realistically, why would she care at all if Rhaenyra is banging people?

Literally all of Rhaenyras decisions bring her consequences, and she keeps making them. Always dumb decisions.

Daemon groomed his niece gross!

what i don't like about Rhaenyra is that she basically does not care what damage she does. She just seduced Cole into violating his oath.

daemon spending the whole episode creeping on his 16yo niece and then faltering as soon as she reciprocated his grooming advances is still so wild to me... like what a loser.

Honestly I felt the same when I saw this for the first time. Cercei and Jamie, ewww, then these 2? The perfect couple literally. It s not often you find incest wholesome

Tbf Daemon to Rhaenyra - grooming, Rhayenyra to Criston Cole - sexual cohersion

Reminder that rhaenyra is a minor in this scene and you all are finding it normal 😂 \\\ As well you’re finding normal the fact that she played with criston and that criston said NO at first which is what we call RAPE

Viserys says "your blood" to Otto as if Aegon isn't his son. He really believes he only has one child subconsciously.😂
