  1. At the risk of sounding stupid; how? How did the Blacks know so quickly Luke was dead? I get missing, but with the immediate news, Aemon must have admitted to it immediately, no?

  2. I love how much work you put into the visual explanations in your GoT/HOTD videos. Thanks for bringing to light additional important context to this show. I really appreciate it. 😊🖤

  3. I think that the dragon babies could be a product of to much targerian incest, like the blood gets to "dragonic" adding with the problem incest usually has on infants making the deformed semi dragon incest babies.

    to my knowlege most of the dragon babies are a product of incest while targerian/non targerian offpring usually does fine.

  4. 24:50 – Also, the fact that Aegon and Viserys specifically were granted spots at court is another slight to Rhaenyra's eldest 3 sons, at least that's how I interpret it. Aegon and Viserys are not just her youngest sons and easy hostages, but are also Targaryen on both sides, they are not just Rhaenyra's kids and her father's grandsons, but also Daemon's sons, Viserys's nephews in the male line, with no question of their legitimacy; the Greens are essentially implying which of her kids are truly worthy of being at court in King's Landing, and which ones are really the only threat to Aegon in terms of legitimacy.

  5. I am probably not the only one to notice this: There is a layer to the chess analogy, beyond just chess being another game of thrones: Black is always the side that moves after white and is therefore in a more reactive position rather than white's proactive one. Considering that the Greens made the first move and forced the Blacks' hand by proactively crowning Aegon, the title "Black Queen" is quite fitting.

  6. Possible spoilers

    I really really really really really really want the cannibal to be MASSIVE. Make him bigger than Vhagar. Hell make him bigger than The Black Dread I know it's a stupid hill to die on but I really want it to be the biggest dragon by far. It would be such a cool lore addition especially since he just disappeared and was never killed in the dance.

  7. makes sense for Luke's death to be an accident of dragon foul play. Aemond and the greens are not prepared for war and it's idiotic to kickstart a war by kinslaying a useless boy like Luke. Aemond may be cruel but he's not an idiot. If Aemond was going to kinslay anyone, it'd probably be Daemon. But what's done is done and Aemond really has no choice but to own it. People will just call him a kinslaying liar if he claims it as an accident especially since there are witnesses of Aemond threatening Luke. He might as well use it to boost his infamy which would also explain why the records don't speak too highly of him.

  8. 👵Vhegar: [old granny voice] Oh, are we…going to Sunspear to…barbecue more Dornishmen, Visenya? 😃
    Aemond: N-no Vhegar. It's the greens and black. It's a different thing now. 😮‍💨
    👵Vhegar: O-oh, okay. 😀

  9. Pretty dumb to send the kids to convince anyone who needed convincing
    Obviously they would make excellent hostages Why didn’t she say- if you see another Dragon- come home immediately?

  10. I appreciate what the show runners have done with the Alicent Hightower character. Not just the one dimensional “Evil Step-Mom” character from the Book. Now you actually feel some sympathy for both sides
