Alicante is the person who put this entire war in motion by misinterpreting the words of a dying, delusional man. Her poor judgemen impacts her decision-making ability as well as her assessment of other people's character, e.g. Ser Kristen Kole.

The mysterious woman was Melisandre

I see a lot of dislike for this ep….but I think it was a filler just get the 2nd half of season ready 🔥🐉🔥🐉🔥🐉🔥

I loved last weeks episode but I thought this was exceptionally boring. I loved Shogun and that was nothing but people talking in rooms, these characters are not compelling enough to carry a slow Episode like this and I thought the Rhaenyra/Alicent scene was silly. I'm very close to giving up on this show, I just don't care. I actually enjoy listening to you guys talk about it more than I enjoy watching it

The first two episode was good, but this one was a dull episode. The writers are trying to hard to keep the focus on Rheanyra & Allicent when at this point the focus should be more on the kids rallying their troops. I better see Jace take more of a leadership role for the rest of the season like he does in the books at this point, because he is one of the most interesting member of team black. And now I'm worry they might downplayed his role in the war. 💯😤

Be red currant they meant wine, no?

orange on orange is crazy never seen that before.

Wait wait but what about the eggs, were those Dany's eggs?

That was me in Spokane before Y2K

Amazing set

The showrunners are slowplaying this show to the point of tedium. Half of season 2 is basically over. Get on with it.

These episodes is fantastic

Loved this episode

I applaud the shows creators for each episode surpassing my prior hatred for alicent and crispen.

CR was good this episode just wanted to comment since I was critical before

I know what makes HOD and GOT so amazing is the storytelling and not as much of the action but thru 3 episodes this season has been has been an absolute snooze fest with them relying on startling endings to keep us on our toes which does work but not enough

The twin battle actually moved me idk, him telling his brother “you separated us!” Ugh and then the guilt eating him after oof

THIS IS THE STUFF LYONEL

This was another amazing episode. Glad Emma and Olivia got to have a scene together

What a rollercoaster of an ep🎉 started dank, got sick, suddenly radical then ended lit with a hint of bodacius🎉

To war then? Aemond might need to see the smith to get a bigger sword...

Remember also.... The blacksmith in this season.... It was a blacksmith that smuggled Gendry out of King's landing in game of thrones.

loved this episode

the alicent/rhaenyra meeting was absolutely nonsensical. what are the writers thinking

Rhaena’s dragon egg is supposed to be pink and she never got to say bye to her grandmother 🙃

Drake was seen as the top (below the elder statesmen like Jay, Ye, and Weezy) but kendrick got himself up in that tier of rapper with the GKMC release in 2012. J Cole wasn’t on their tier really til 2014 because Born Sinner came out in ‘13 and had some hits but was widely seen as a disappointment. Cole was fighting on the Wale tier until FHD

BRILLIANT episode tonight!!! Rhaenyra is a true queen. She did everything in her power to prevent bloodshed and war. Now its WAR 🔥🔥🔥🔥 #HouseOfTheDragon

I think the training of children/teens by the Jedi and taking them on missions shouldn't be equivocated to our reality. I think we have to accept a certain amount of mythic storytelling considering the reality of The Force in the SW universe. "You brought her here," Is a great Sith antagonizing the Jedi line. Qimir knows that the do-gooder Jedi will feel worse about bringing Jecki (to the place she is killed) than Qimir would feel about killing a thousand Jecki's. Not to mention Qimir would train and sacrifice any number of young force users to his own selfish ends. Ultimately, it's a poor what-about-ism, but it is effective against the Jedi who are caring and want to do right.

I wish Chris was with Mallory and Joanna when they do a deep dive into the episode with book spoilers. They would have to explain who and what they're talking about because he hasn't read the books. When he's not there they have a lot of fun but it's hard to follow their banter

In GoT the best scenes involved the Lannisters. They were the best, get a bunch of them in a room and rip each other to pieces. And in this show the Greens are just interesting they way they interact reminds me of the Lannisters.

Rhaenrya may not killed Alicent and her kids but she also couldn't save Alicent's grandson from Daemon. He is yet another dragon Rhaenrya can't control.

Ultimately Viserys's wishes are irrelevant. Even back in episode 2, Rhaenys said the men of the realm would never accept Rhaenrya. Otto and the council would have put Aegon on the throne regardless. It's interesting that Alicent realizes she might be wrong, but in the end it doesn't matter.

Absolutely no way this was someone’s favorite episode. And to claim the writing is cracking is crazy. Just jumping around to a lot of places that didn’t matter and for some reason Allicant has any power at all is baffling she had 2 fing kings Gaurds as the mother and dowager

They should do this show live

Yo yo yo

Fans hate the Acolyte bc it’s a trash show, NOT bc they’re racists. If fans are racist, why didn’t they review Black Panther? Why aren’t they review bombing House of the Dragon? When HotD has 2 female leads, one of them is NON-binary, it has black characters and gay characters.. why aren’t fans review bombing that? 🤔 make it make sense

Charles. You have a microphone, why are you yelling? @47:00 see when he stops yelling and cutting people off he makes some sense. These women want to dominate their men. Rhaenyra is that girl who sings "I want a gangsta" then gets mad when he acts gangsta. Daemon never hid who he was, he's done bad things and taken responsibility for bad things he didn't do, and she as an adult begged him to marry her and help her. As for Alicent and Cole, all 3 of their sex scenes has her in the dominant position. Someone mentioned that their last scene in E2 was a feminist wet dream.

Don't worry, nothing will fall bazil. He Can Smell Trouble long before anyone else can! He's a rare species of tracker known as a "fart sniffer". 😄 See Han Solo's analysis below. Apparently they're still around a thousand years after the acolyte, during Hans era... th-cam.com/video/QgeRPv5urGI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yVwJhN-wBx_I6bpY

The way I’m dying laughing at Chris answering the dragon quiz 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Well done CR! And thank you for making this available for all of us outside the USA to watch! Sending lots of love from South Africa to Chris, Jo and Mal!❤😊 Been watching since GoT days and just adore you guys!

The three of you are degenerates, and I am living! It's great to see people have fun with a property that can be so serious about lore and history. As for me? Tyrion and Shae would probably be very generous lovers to a third, and smart men are sexy. 😁 I'd have Tyrion recite pose while Shae demonstrates her professional talents 😂

Keep Hip Hop history alive 👏🏿 good work

The Acolyte>>>Andor

ok ive been thinking about this since the podcast. All valid points I agree with. But also... since Im not an actor, if that became my only imdb page... its like when that dude sunk that half-court shot to win the million dollars and turns out that was the only time he'd ever shot a basketball in his life... ya talking it out helped me decide. Thanks everyone for helping me through this

This guy doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about 🤦🏾‍♂️ put more respect on k dot’s name

I am a bit dissapointed that this show refuses to ever show Rhaenyra as having a bad bone in her body, That's definately not how i saw her character in the book. Wonder how RR Martin would've written show Rhaenyra.

I was thinking the same thing as who will be the next big thing after these guys are gone...... Even the females it's getting worse

I don’t think traditional rapping went away. I just think the more of the girls are rapping traditionally. I know people only want to attribute that to Nicki Minaj, but I’m sure they were also influenced by the rappers mentioned on the Control verse.

Why are you trying to attribute logic to a franchise that can't even maintain continuity?

Yes. I’m on board with this as Qimir mentioned he had no name. Very possible that he was a divisive force in the High Republic as a failed padowan of Sol’s. Much like the Obi-Wan and Anakin predicament. Likely that was banished and sought some insane vengeance and had an older presence over the twins. Also possible that Mother Koril could be another big reveal as a major catalyst.

what’s with the background music?
