Fun fact about this episode, that first scene after the funeral when everyone is standing around socializing and things are all awkward. That was actually the very first scene they shot for the entire season because the actors and actresses didn’t really know each other that well yet and the show runners wanted to capture that awkwardness to make the scene feel more natural!

Vhagar was one of the three dragons utilized during Aegon's Conquest of Westeros Aegon rode Balerion the Black Dread Rhaenys rode Meraxes and Visenya rode Vhagar Rhaenyra's father also bonded with Balerion but only got to ride him once because the dragon was too old. Meraxes died in Dorne with Rhaenys, so that's why Vhagar is the largest living dragon at this point in time because it's the oldest living one.

Vhagar is one of the surviving OGs. They talked about her in the Game of Thrones as well. She's Visenya Targaryen's Dragon (Wife of Aegon the Conqueror) and Conquered the Westeros along with Balerion and Meraxes. Arya talks about Visenya/Vhagar to Tywin - along with a Valyrian steel sword owned by Visenya as well - called "Dark Sister". That's Daemon's sword.

It's hard to fully appreciate just how great the dagger scene is without putting into context the mirrored lives of the princess and the queen that has played out for the better part of the season. From mirroring the two contrasting fathers : "she'll obey as you command" vs "I want her to be happy", to the mirroring of the boar hunt vis a vis 'being trapped in the castle and churn out heirs' as Rhaenrya once said, to the mirroring of the depressing sex scene in the fourth episode. 'Forever upholding the kingdom, the family, the law...' it's a lifetime of suffering and being slighted boiling over in a climactic moment which is beautifully filmed and insanely well acted. This is peak television.

I assume that Daemon's laughter was more to distract everyone from them staring at Rhaenyra's children, Vaemond Valaryon's speech was indirectly drawing on the fact that everyone knows that the boys are not really Laenor's. He was trying to protect Rhaenyra.

All the agony & passion in the world as Alicent does her best McBeth in front of the fire with the dagger reflecting in Rhaenyra's eyes! “We Know Father. Everyone Knows”.That’s Aegon’s “the Prince will remember that little Lord” moment. Aemond taming Vhagar & holding his own in a 1v4 makes him the real chad in my eyes. Only wholesome moment, our Prince resting his head on his mom’s shoulder to let her know she can depend on him. Last but not least, GOATTO Hightower with the coldest win or you die reference, “we play an ugly game”...and I’m the meme of Homer Simpson decked out in green onsies, sitting on green cushions, wearing a Hightower snapback, holding a Go Greens flag with a Alicent poster on the wall😂.

Rhaenyra's sons do have Velaryon blood through Rhaenyra. Aegon the Conqueror's mother was of House Velaryon, then his son Aenys married a Velaryon and had children with her, Aenys son Jahaerys was King before Viserys ascended the throne. House Velaryon and House Targaryen intermarried before they even came to Westeros so the Velaryon's and Targaryen's are related by blood anyway. Also Rhaenyra and Laenor are second cousins which makes Rhaenyra's sons 3rd cousins to Laenor so they are related to Laenor even though he's not their biological father.

Yes the dragon bonded with Aeomond, but Rhaena wasn't even given a chance to attempt and claim vhagar, it's literally the night of her mothers funeral. What Aemomd did wasn't illegal, but they're all supposed to be a family, it's about the principle, what he did wasn't fair and it shows that he doesn't care about or have any respect for his extended family. But he's like that because of his mother, in their eyes it's always them vs us because that's what Alicent has drilled into their head.

He goes to say his condolences to Rhaenyra’s kids earlier in the episode, but is only met with disgust. Plus how he used to be bullied by both them and Aegon.

In this episode we see Aemond do the same with Lucerys he grab him by throat and kicked others from him .

Dragons don't automatically go to the daughter or son. Targaryens usually obtain dragon's respect and obedience as they put an egg in their cradle and grow up with them. They grow with them but half of them never hatch. If yours don't the only way for you to get one is to gain the respect of an already existing one most likely roaming around freely. That's why Rhagar is that big, dragons get bigger the longer they are free and untamed. I believe since she is quite a bit old she isn't really about that roaming life anymore and was maybe resting close to her former rider's home. So Aemond technically gained her respect fair and square. He was a bit smug and rude but that's how anyone would be gaining the oldest and biggest dragon.

Guys did you remeber what Haelena said in the previous episode regarding Aemond having to close an eye whilst Alicent was PROMISING him he’d have a dragon one day!! Did you guys catch/remember that when Aemond rolled up in that same scene after nearly getting roasted by the dragon he tried to claim in the pit that when Alicent questioned him on what he’d done/where he’d been, Haelyna simply says “He did it again.” Girl knew exactly what he’d done not just cause he’s attempted it before but because she SAW IT. She is a little different, for sure, (I actually headcanon her to be on the spectrum somewhere, potentially autistic, and at the very least neurodivergent) but also v misunderstood. We do not have official confirmation but many have guessed as it is HEAVILY implied that Haelena on top of being a dragon rider herself (her dragon is DREAMFYRE, and is the same dragon Aemond TRIED to claim in the pits in case you didn’t know) is a dragon dreamer/has the gift of prophecy/foresight. Even in this episode listen to what she is actually saying… there is a lot to unpack given how the episode plays out and where things are going. Highly reccomend going forward that you pay some serious attention to EVERYTHING she says and does cause I won’t spoil it but-- it’s ALWAYS significant even if it maybe doesn’t make sense in the moment of. Seriously very cool character and very inspired direction to take her character with what precious little we were given about her in the books. One of the most top notch divisions on the direction/writers part!!

Guys, Vhagar (Laena's dragon) is the oldest and the largest living dragon at this point, also she is the last of the three og dragons from Aegon's conquest. His older sister-wife Visenia rode Vhagar during that time. (Aegon rode Balerion and his second sister-wife Rhaenys rode Meraxes but both of those dragons are gone now).

If you favor a public figure, you're gonna bend over backwards to justify attempted child murder over a couple of petty insults. The kids confronted him. He replied with something rude. Then the girls charged at him. The kids initiated both the verbal and the physical altercation. He picked up a rock because he was being beat bloody by 4 other kids. I guess he should've bawled up in a fetal position and taken it. If he was a grown man I would still understand if you said those were fighting words. But I'm not gonna justify physical maiming because of what a child said. By which I mean the he spoke the truth.

It’s not only Alicent’s fault her kids turned out the way they did. Viserys literally never cared for them and neglected them and she’s a child bride who was marital raped. She probably at first saw them more as brothers and sisters than kids. And in my opinion Alicent snapping is only logical because what just transpired only proves Otto’s words; that Rhaenyra may really kill her children to secure her right to the throne. (Rhaenyra ordered Aemond to be ‘sharply questioned’ which in other words means torture + how Viserys did nothing to improve anything at all)

I wish the show did more to bring notice to the term 'sharply questioned', Alicent requesting an eye for an eye is no better or worse than rhaenrya wanting her younger brother tortured, but the writer bias makes Alicent 'the villain' in this scene when she's really the victim

Yes, you caught that Aegon and Helaena are betrothed. This seems very hypocritical of Alicent, since she was throwing shade at Rhaenyra in the earlier episode when she said, “You Targaryens do have queer customs.” And it seems that you have picked up on the dispositions of Alicent’s sons very well. I think others have already mentioned that Daemon’s laugh during the funeral service was because Vaemond was insinuating that Rhaenyra‘s children were not true Velaryons. So his giggle was due to the appropriateness of what Vaemond was saying and to pull the focus away from Rhaenyra. And the dead man in the fire was the servant they showed Daemon killing just moments before the duel between Laenor and his lover.

He was more worried bout protecting Rhaenyra’s illegitimacy than his son. Ppl really acting like if some kids did that to your 10yr old in the sandbox ya'll just gonna be like "oh word? Kenny's the middle child. So no biggie.” A mother’s rage, while unhinged, is totally understandable. The king shoulda handed out a more reasonable punishment before it even got to eye for an eye.

Had Viserys shown one ounce of compassion, things prolly wouldn't gone so far as to eye for an eye. Instead they all pretended Aemond didn't even exist and decided to gaslight tf out of a child losing an eye into a show trial for Harwin's bastards. Which made Alicent lose it.
