i dont notice that! good observation

I wonder if Rhaenyra herself also knew she wasn't in danger. Because, if she truly felt he would kill her, would she have actually done that?

@@MrFredstt i think she knew, she kinda now her uncle

Omg what a catch dint see this at all. I want to see the dragons snap at each other later in the season

Both dragons would fight the biggest dragon, 2nd only to Balerion the dread. I wanted to see how they made that scene, they had to fight in big open field 😁

Otto is more a man of action then Baelish though.

Daemon can start a literal civil war and kill millions and ya'll will act like it was just him wanting his brother's attention. And still blame Otto.

It is flat out stupid on many levels and the first time we see him make a decision that doesn't place the realm before his personal happiness. Aside from the fact that it alienates literally every potential heir/familial ally he has and only binds him to a house that is already allied to him. It's also a snub of every counselor whose advice he ignored, as well as sabotaging his rekindled relationship with his daughter. It's not just that both he and Alicent hid their relationship but a marriage that wouldn't immediately be consummated or result in a rival for Rhenayra would give her years to build up legitimacy as the heir. By choosing the "kids now" option, he signaled to everyone that she was just a placeholder.

@@saberstrike000 Right? At least if you married Laena you could have waited 4 or 5 years and then consummate the marriage.

He's unbelievable, can't wait to see him really open up as this moves forward!

I agree, though really, I don’t think there is an ounce of hate towards his brother, only love, arrogant, petulant, bratty, but devoted love, for both his brother and his niece….though with the niece there’s also that little bit of extra Targaryen sauce thrown into the mix. He pushes buttons, and crosses lines, but never too far, never to a point they couldn’t forgive him.

@@richardbrown3055 I am so looking forward to seeing how the general opinion on some characters will change when...certain things...happen later on

I wonder where he's hiding the pocket watch, and which companion is struggling to survive in King's Landing and berating The Doctor for stranding them here while he plays real life D&D.

Matt Smith is amazing!

Absolutely, I'm so happy with the tempo they've set for this series

yes & it actually focuses on the iron throne, which I feel like the later seasons of got forgot about

But you can't see some degree of i didn't get it why you think you can I would say is 50/50 real honest fair advice, and I don't want somebody succeed exactly where i failed

And Driftmark is right next to Dragonstone

I agree 100% The bridge scene is a game changer

Agreed!

“She fixed my Warhammer mini 🥹🥹”

Look. Knowing it happened and watching it are very different things! lol

I’m English and didn’t know this happened I didn’t think crabs would do that but tbh I don’t think it’s that bad a way to die compared to like the iron bull Etc

@@NerdyNightly I completely agree, it’s more that I’ve realized that it triggers some weird sense of childhood nostalgia…..which is not an okay feeling to get from watching people get eaten alive by crabs….thanks Mom.

@@daquaviousbingleton9763 Any slow death is going to be a top tier means of death, bro, slowly being peeled away by crabs has got to be top ten.

@@richardbrown3055 considering the reign england had over the us for some time, i’m sure you evil buggers did it there too…all over the world in fact 😂

She was an idiot because if it got to a fight between the two Caraxes would have eaten the younger and 2x smaller Syrax for lunch

Happy to hear you've been reeled back in!

We're working on Something for Game Of Thrones Con in December!

If you go back and watch the first episode, Cercei says they had been riding for a month, not 6.😊

That is just not true their bastard daemon waters is the master of ships for cersei and they fought on stannis's side they might not be the strongest but they're not weak

@@harsh_1910 So.... after alienating EVERYONE, Cersei appoints a bastard of a house fighting for the other side. And they've gone from the most powerful fleet in the realm, capable of defeating any other fleet with ease, to being the vassals of arguably the weakest claimant (When Stannis declares), and their traditional role as admiral in that faction is given to a household knight.

@@theshadowling1 they were fighting with stannis during black water, and the head monford velyaron burned in wildfire along with their ships but his bastard half brother aurane waters knelt to Joffrey after the battle and cersei thought aurane waters (not daemon my bad) was hot and so she gave him the position and but he betrayed her after acquiring most of the royal fleet and us now a pirate and more or less controla the stepstones

@@harsh_1910 Yes. And they brought 4 ships. When they used to have a fleet of over a hundred. Stannis' fleet is 200 ships. Velaryon are a shadow of what they used to be.

@@theshadowling1 they're a shadow their former self without a doubt but 4 ships seems pretty average rather given the crown only had 20 available then

Wasn’t she 16 in the show and 13 in the books?

One heir isn’t enough. As Viserys said „their line is vulnerable . Too easily ended!“

King has 1 kid. In medieval age it is same as having none. If she dies,his line ends.

1. He has a daughter. A daughter won't carry on the family name. 2. He has a daughter. A daughter won't carry on the family name (her son would have his father's last name and the Targaryens would lose the throne) 3. Lana's Twelve. Even by Game of Thrones standards, that's yucky. 4. Viserys can do whatever he wants. He's the king. As long as he marries SOMEONE, it's chill. Daemon is a prince, he's expected to marry someone of equal status. Plus, Viserys IS given flack for not immediately accepting Lana; but again, he's the king. Nobody's gonna say no to the king. 5. Yes, the king DOES get to choose like that. Joffrey did. "I don't want Sansa anymore, I want Margery." And so he got Margery. 6. Alicent is 15-16, so he can have a baby even sooner with her than he would have with Lana. 7. That much is true, but he felt pressured; so he did what he had to do. 8. Why shouldn't he have married a Hightower? She's the daughter of his Hand, so he knows she's loyal. She's pretty. She's fertile. She's willing. Why shouldn't he marry her? 9. Danaerys was still older than Lana, AND she married a khal, AND that was meant to be seen as creepy. Sooooooo next complaints, please.

I mean, if we're going by books' ages: Aemma (Viserys' first wife) died at 23 Viserys was 28 Laena was 13 Alicent was 17 & Rhaenyra was 8 The show made the whole thing seemed creepy with all those changes

You can't tell how uncomfortable I am? That's why I'm laughing my dude

Aaaand where the fk was the "sick" moment? 🤔

Because it is a reference to them.

Awww thank you so much! That is so nice of you to say!

hahahaha you are very innocent believing that Otto wants the safety of Viserys ... He just wants power, the way he found to gain power was to tear the Targaryen's brothers apart and start a war between them...

@@fleisbester612 He is worried about his safety because if he were to die right there, then the fight between Rhaenyra and Daemon wouldn't benefit him either way, as both dislike him to begin with. His long term goal was always to use his daughter to put his personal legacy ahead. The question is a matter of timing, had Vyseris already been married and had kids with Alicent, he wouldn't give two shits.

@@unbeheld Nah, he would use Rhaenyra as its pawn, that's why he keep her and his daughter as close friends, she's his plan B...

And I heard the King was 28 in the books, which puts them much closer together than the show

@@NerdyNightly Yes, you're right,he was like 28 when his 1 wife died. Here he's like 50.

yes, the age difference between Alicent and Rhaenyra in the book is 9-10 years, when Viserys marries Alicent she was 18-19 and the King was 29. in the series they make it look like the age difference is even worse.

In the show Alicent has 15 and Rhaenyra 14.

Alicent and rhaenyra are the same age in the show

He is dornish in the show

HAHAHA I haven't thought about that in YEARS

I think Tom Petty was talking about older girls tho...

@@NerdyNightly Well, you cannot control which daughters your vassals will throw at you.

Scavenger will often eat things that are soon to be or close to being dead. It's why you hear stories about prisoners being so close to death that rats have already began nibbling off their toes and fingers.

Aegon went to dragonstone and came back in 24 hours lol

As a David John, I FEEL this

Would love to but our Sunday night turn around is already so tight. Can't add that extra time and still get the sleep I need!

Hey, thank you for watching the channel! We have Subtitles on, I think it just takes longer for them to finish processing than the rest of the video. If we could speed up that process we would, but don't really have a way to at the moment!

@@NerdyNightly the closed captioning is NOT on.

@@SeeFair23 I actually have access to the account, you don't. I don't control when the auto generated captions are available publicly.

It's been screwing with us HARD

OH MY GOD HAHAHA

Otto is not a Targaryen though, and Daemon clearly hates him. You don't send in a rival do to the negotiation.

SAME

👁👄👁

That’s weird considering his design wouldn’t last two seconds in battle against drogons or syrax’s design. It’s like a t-rex vs a brontosaurus, the t-rex will always be a stronger quicker build.

I love his performance, but I'm not a book reader. Do you think he's playing the character very differently from the page?

@@NerdyNightly So, it's rather that the character is very flat on the page. Both the World of Ice and Fire and the Dance of the Dragons are in-universe histories and are dismissive if not outright scornful of his personality and strength of character. The show and the actor could have easily made him a weak-minded dupe, but instead display his empathy and show him struggling independently on decisions. His relationship with Alicent, while not unproblematic, is not merely an older man seduced by a teenager as a political play. Honestly, I think it's a very smart decision that plays into a major theme about leadership in the entire series. Tyrion calls it out directly at one point when talking about the kings that FOLLOW the events of this series. With few qualified exceptions the warmakers and conquerors are the celebrated kings while the peacemakers and bureaucrats are condemned or ignored. I can do a whole essay on this, but to focus on the show, Daemon is flat out wrong about what makes a good king (and his brother a poor one.)

Ooo thank you!
