Criston Cole: Aegon II is your king!
Rhaenys' dragon Meleys: I DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM!
Princess Rhaenys dragons name is Mellies or the Red Queen from the spikes around her head that resembles a crown. Forgive my misspelling and I’m team green!! Luv your reactions also!!
Team black ⚫⚫⚫
You are one of my top five reaction folk. Intelligent, with a touch of humor, your reaction is the best.
The prophecy isn't about an Aegon, he just refers to it as Aegon's prophecy because it was Aegon the Conqueror who had the dream and because he calls it that, Alicent mistakenly thinks he's talking about a prophecy involving their son Aegon. Also because they have been quite good about being consistent with book canon, I refuse to believe that they are going with the show canon of Jon Snow's name being Aegon, because it makes zero sense as Rhaegar already had a son named Aegon who was was (maybe) murdered by the Mountain (or Amory Lorch, I don't remember, they were both involved).
Reaction M3GAN pliss♥️🙏
Considering the opening credits. Each crest represents someone on the Targaryen family tree, even spouses from other houses. It starts with Aegon I. and goes on through the “bloodline”.
When a crest overflows with blood, the person is dead. And the symbol is specific to each person. Rhaenyra has the necklace, Viserys has the crown, Haelena has a spider, the strong boys have eggs, etc.
There are a few spoilers in it here and there, IF you know where to look or what the symbol hints at
Perfect Blue.
I'm glad I found you through your TLOU reactions. I usually avoid HOTD reactions like the plague because some reactors can be so unnecessarily nasty and unsymphatetic to Alicent. she's my HOTD favorite character, I think she's so interesting and tragic. and it's refreshing that you're recognizing her nuances and inner conflicts. I'm going to go back and watch your other HOTD reactions now ❤️
The queen who didn't burn them all.
when you said "she has no claim to it" it's just plain lazy writing this whole episode but the actors really saved it but this is really the worst episode this whole season
Team Black. Don't really feel like this is a question. Though I will echo my dissatisfaction with this show for being both very biased and very rushed. I've said in multiple other reactions to HotD, that this season goes WAY TOO fast. They have it paced like they're only gonna get 3 seasons (if that) and that time crunch forces a lot of plot contrivances that seem unrealistic. The rush also robs the story tellers of the ability to try and make the Greens more sympathetic or to present the show more neutrally about the conflict. From what I knew from the source material, I was gonna be Team Black anyway, but I would have liked the show to make an attempt and persuading me otherwise.
Only open minded, intelligent people like Alicent and can see all the good qualities in her. The only faults I ever saw in her was how Aegon turned out. But then again, he's probably just a bad egg and no amount of good parenting would fix him.
i'm not team green nor team black, i'm just here for the tragedy! but i do find more of the team green characters more compelling
Rhaenys should have Dracarised them all. I mean… all of the Traitors in 1 Spott.
Burn the Greens for High Treason, Crown the rightfull Heir(es) and skip all the pain, suffering and Death that a potential civil war would cause.
In GoT killing kin is really a taboo. So Helena does doesn’t do it, same with the brothers.
For a King or Queen murdering people is a great trait. It’s why Rhaenys would not have made a good Queen. She should have smoked the Greens flew to Dragonstone and without warning smoked the blacks as well.
Did you know that Margaery Tyrell is actually a half Hightower? Her mother was a Hightower
Team Black in terms of who's best for the throne, but Team Green because of the characters. Love Alicent so much and Aemond is an intriguing character.
What's with the hardon for Rheynes? "She would have bern an amazing queen". Like, how do you know? We've hardy seen her. Is it only yaas queen, or is there anything of substance to these feelings?
The symbols in the intro are not house sigils, but rather different persons within the Targaeryan bloodline, starting with Aegon the conqueror. The blood engulfing their symbols does indeed mean they're dead. With Visery's you can recognize his symbol as the crown he wore. With Rhaenyra it's the necklace she got from Daemon.
Call me misogynist all you want Alicent is weak and foolish she makes 13 year old Sansa Stark look like a superhero. As for a good mother children 1 grapest, 1 psychopath and 1 that lives in the future. She let her grapest marry his own sister. She’s the weakest female character in both shows. A petty spiteful little gold digger who found out nor all that glitters has to be gold.
Good catch about Helaena and Aemond interaction. It's not the first such subtle irregularity if you think back. Aemond continually happens to be close to her. What does it mean? Open to our interpretation…
And here is our only BAD scene in this great season. GoT season 8 scale bad one sacrificing everything for the visual. Unnecessarily so.
Rhaenys. Someone who saw more death that she can possibly stomach. Someone who deeply understands how politics work and what rulers depend on. Someone who does not kill even when she understands the Greens essentially just started a devastating civil war in the kingdom. Someone who actually regards the good of the realm.
That Rhaenys kills potentially thousands of innocent people in the Dragonpit whose only fault was that they were forced to attent the coronation! WHY??! Dragonpit is made to house dragons. We know it has entrances and exits both to the domed arena and to the outside so dragons can freely come and go. Meleys could have exited from the side of the hill and flown away. It could have exited quietly to the arena from behind the podium and made the exact same effect on the Greens Rhaenys apparently wanted. But she consciously chose to break down the floor and kill potentially thousands of innocent people (and it is obviously many thousands packed there).
This is utterly illogical and, what is worse, utterly out of character. Think of the political fallout alone. Most of the people in King's Landing now have a relative or a friend who was either killed, maimed or hurt by Rhaenys. By a suporter of Rhaenyra. What kind of feelings will the city harbor for the Blacks now, I wonder.
Here's hoping it was just one glitch in the one great show we have lately.
It's true that Alicent and Rhaenyra haven't been true friends for a long time at this point, but I think the kind of bond they had in their youth isn't so easily thrown aside, and I believe that Alicent defending Rhaenyra this episode, and her inviting Rhaenyra back to King's Landing last episode, which Rhaenyra accepted, was confirmation that their relationship was mostly strained due to the political and familial environments around them rather than the two of them falling out personally.
Along with that, Olivia Cooke has stated that she personally believes that Rhaenyra and Alicent kissed/made out in their youth, but were caught and reprimanded for it, Alicent herself being dissuaded further from such thoughts, and her and Emma D'Arcy have talked about the romantic potential of Rhaenyra and Alicent in multiple interviews. Along with Emily Carey and Milly Alcock confirming that they intentionally played Alicent and Rhaenyra romantically, it makes me view this show as, in a sense, a romantic tragedy between Rhaenyra and Alicent. Two people in love who not only lived in a world hostile to their relationship, but torn apart by the ambitions of others.
This interpretation of their relationship also makes Otto's line of "Or you, his daughter's childhood companion?" even more impactful in my opinion. Making it an admission that he knows how Alicent felt about her, making it seem a sort of weakness that is holding her back from greatness.
This show is just so great in so many ways, and Alicent is absolutely a big part of that. Emily Carey and Olivia Cooke both absolutely killed it as her.
Fun fact, the actor who plays Aegon is older than the actress who plays his mother Alicent.
I’m gonna keep watching for hopefully loving finale ep and good reactions over all. But breaking my heart heart reactor I like saying “she’s a good woman” about alicent. Yikes. And aeomond being better king than aegon is the lowest bar to best of all time. Lol aeomond is nuts too just not aegon level.
17:25 The music is insanely good in this episode.
love love love you Angie
I got a little annoyed at Alicent this episode. She's been telling Aegon he will be King his whole life and she's shocked that the council was planning to supplant Rhaenyra?! What did she think would happen? That makes her look far more naive and honestly quite dumb, which we know she's actually pretty intelligent. This episode has some writing and choices I don't love, but next episode sort of makes up for it. I do appreciate that they at least make Alicent stand up for Rhaenyra, but sometimes the writing for her isn't as fully thought out.
Rhaenys asking Alicent if she ever pictured herself on the Iron Throne was more of a call out than actually asking her that as a serious questions. Alicent has no desire to rule. She's perfectly content following rules and doing what she perceives as her duty. She's a follower, not a leader. Rhaenys was using that against her. So unlike Cersei naming herself Queen and taking that Throne, Alicent has no desire to do that because that's not following the rules. It's an interesting character trait and one that as a modern day woman, annoys the shit out of me. I hate that women felt this day for so long and it's what makes me more likely to side with characters like Rhaenys and Rhaenyra. Women that don't always follow the rules.
the rocinante in the back looks badass
You felt so many of the same things I felt in this episode. There is a lot behind Rhaenys's decision to not BBQ the Greens. I'm so excited to see how Aemond's character plays out too. I can't wait for you to see the finale… and I can't wait for next season!
so close to the end, awesome reviews
I wholeheartedly disagree that Alicent is a good woman, but I admit she does her best.
The saddest part is that even John "aegon" Snow ….. wasnt the Aegon. Aegon didn't matter
2:16 past, not "future." In case Angela mixed up the original Aegon the Conqueror who hailed generations before this show. He passed down The Prophecy, where as GOT's Dany and Jon Snow helped fulfill (with help of others).
Gasp! Margaery is my favorite GOT character! So cool to hear you like her too.
Change from the book: Cole was already lord commander at this point in the story. Kingsguard vows are for life. So I don't like seeing the lord commander resign.
If Rhaenys was queen, there would still be a succession crisis. Her heir, Laenor, apparently can not sire an heir.
Rhaenrya at least produced several heirs.
There is no reason to lead Rhaenys into a trap. If Arryk wanted her dead, he'd just kill her.
It's not mercy. Kinslaying is taboo in this world. That's a line Rhaenys would not cross on a whim.
Further even if she killed Aegon and Aemond, Alicent and Viserys haveva third son. Those who oppose Rhaenrya would rally behind him. The showrunners claimed they didn't have time to introduce him this season but they confirmed he exists.
“Lannister pussy” as you called him will bring so much pain and harm to your precious usurper Rhaynera))
Hightowers have the most bombass entrances on the show
If there ever was a deserving person to sit on the iron throne it would be Jacearys Targaryen.
It fucking hurts to hear people say Alicent is a good woman….. they BUTCHERED her character from the book. She is NOT a good woman, she is a vile manipulating bitch and nothing at all like she's being portrayed on the show
Alicent in the book is much worse than in the series, and she is the one who leaves Viserys's body in the room to decompose without saying anything to anyone while she prepares the Green Council to install her son Aegon on the Iron Throne.
