Helaena, King Viserys daughter has Dragon Dreams which says the future in every episode she is in but nobody pays her any attention. King (Viserys) has Leprosy 💡👍
The actor who plays Viserys, Paddy Considine, said this about Viserys after the episode: "From the moment she [Aemma] dies, so does Viserys. It was a love story. That's the secret I carried with me. As sick as he gets, he never, himself, demands any cure. He quietly accepts his suffering, never forgiving himself for putting his beloved wife through such torture in her final moments."
Man's an absolute legend. And the rest of the cast aren't too shabby either. Tried _really_ hard to look for a so-so performance from everyone. Found none.
@@kristymcdowell6185 LMFAO becuase the man didn’t do shit compared to the other actors in the tight category. You gonna be transphobic about Emma D’arcy now too? Because they EARNED their nomination ten times over.
Viserys thought he was describing the dream of Aegon the Conqueror to Rhaenyra. But Alicent heard it and thought it was about Viserys's own dream, the one he told her some episodes ago about putting a baby boy on the throne.
Lucerys laughed at the roast pig because of the joke they made to Aemond when they were kids giving him the "Pink Dread". Hence Aemond took a dig at the "Strong" boys haha
Man I wish in an alternate universe these kids could’ve just been like regular relatives who grow up together lol because the pranks and jokes are something we all did as kids and all of their jokes were hilarious lol.
@@marleymarsss right and its crazy seeing delusional greens fans really try to justify Aemond's actions because his brother and nephews made a joke about his dragon being a pig when they were all CHILDREN. that's what all kids do when they're joking with each other...
@@iris-xo right like bro that’s not bullying, it was a prank that Aegon clearly put together lol my siblings did the same thing, shit we still do as adults occasionally.
Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra the night of his death, she asked if he thought the song of ice and fire was real, he wasn’t very lucid, Alicent doesn’t know about the song of ice and fire, she is obviously going to interpret his last words as if he was referring to her son because damn Targaryens can’t help but repeat names haha
No matter what, even if Rheanyra's kids looked like ser Leanors. The Hightowers would usurper the throne from Rheanyra, Otto was always plotting to put his grandson on the throne.
Viserys will be greatly missed. (especially by his distant cousins Frieza and Cooler, who admired him for surviving so long while continuously losing body parts)
16:16 I think the showrunners confirmed after the season was done that Viserys was suffering from a form of Leprosy. The cuts from the Throne didn't help, but yea it explains why he was looking like a zombie by the end
This is the episode that solidified the idea that Paddy Considine deserved an Emmy. From the walk to the throne to the subtle smile of happiness in the dinner table, he surely deserves it!
At the end it seemed to me that when speaking with Alicent the King truly wasn’t lucid and actually thought he was speaking to Rhaenyra. He was continuing their conversation from before and didn’t realize who he was speaking to.
Fun fact about the scene where Daemon picked up Vicerys’ crown: apparently, while the actors where rehearsing, the crown prop really fell off of Paddy Considine’s head and Matt Smith improvised getting it for him. Brilliant.
Matt improvised a few scenes in Doctor Who too. He's so amazing. The crew were such a big fan of him. HoTD crew have also admitted on being huge admirers of Matt's work.
Sort of. He was just going to pick it up just to pick it up but when he actually reached down and grabbed it, the director and several others were like "OHHHHH SHI.... " so they reworked the scene to include that bit and shot it again.
As much as I would love for this to be true, I highly doubt it is. The way the scene was directed and the nice shot of daemon crowning him was all most definitely planned out deliberately.
The scene when daemon help viserys to the throne is really moved me. And when all the family is happy at the dinner is so warm. We will miss you viserys
Def the best episode. The scene where he shows up to save Rhaenyra and then having Daemon help him sit the throne encapsulated a big part of the s1 plot. So epic.
Just a point because I think you misunderstood it, Viserys' dying words were meant to be for Rhaenyra, because earlier she asked him if he thought it was true about Aegon the conquerors dream.
The night and day acting of the actor that plays Aemond and his role as Osferth in Last Kingdom is crazy to me, dudes the nicest guy in Last Kingdom and then 3 years later is playing this psychopath!
Daemon and Aemond both have the same chaotic energy. They are both so very much alike, only Aemond has much more anger in him from losing his eye, which makes him more impulsive. But even he knew at that moment, trying to fight Daemon would be foolish. He saw Dark Sister in action. He's impulsive, not stupid.
@@nikdik154 Aemond is like an alternate path for a choose your adventure book of Daemon. Every time Daemon went left in his life Aemond goes right. Daemon rebels against his marriage while Aemond arranges his own political marriage. Daemon breaks things off with his mistress Mysaria while Aemond falls for his. Daemon abandons his brother while Aemond seems to stick by his brothers side and protect him.
With all the cuts Viserys got from the blades on the iron throne, he fell part because of leprosy. Paddy Considine should win awards for his performance throughout the season.
Hi. This is one of my favorite episodes of the season. The scene with Rhaenyra pleading with Viserys for support was great ( Emma D'Arcy is it killing as the older version! ), Paddy Considinecwas epic as Viserys, older version of Aemond is maniacally good. Daemon, bada** as usual, also showed his softer side helping Viserys up the Iron thrones steps after picking up the kings fallen crown and placing it on Visery's head. The ending with Alicent mistakenly taking Visery's the prince that was promised ramblings to mean her son Aegon was also good. Nice reaction as usual.✌ P.S. Hey Anthony, I knew what your shirts saying really means as soon as I saw it, pretty funny !😁
Yes, in that final scene Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra. It was as if he was continuing the conversation from the previous night when she came to him to ask if he really thought that the prophecy from Aegon the Conquerer was true, the Song of Ice and Fire. We didn’t see him really give any response to Rhaenyra that night. But if you go back and listen to it, what he says is directly an answer to what she was asking. And of course Alicent doesn’t know anything about that prophecy and heard him muttering something that included the name Aegon. Which she will think that he was talking about their son, not Aegon the Conqueror. When the screen went to black you heard his final words were “My Love.”Interviews with the actor confirmed that he felt that the Viserys would have been thinking about his first wife, Aemma. He said that he thought that the key to the character of Viserys was Aemma’s death in that first episode. She was the love of his life and he never forgave himself for his role in her death. It was definitely one of the reasons that he favored Rhaenyra so much, to the point of even referring to her as his only child in this episode. I really enjoyed the moment of Jace dancing with Helaena at the dinner. It makes me think about how Rhaenyra had proposed having those two get married at one point. And if Alicent would have accepted that it probably would have prevented any future conflict, as both branches of the family would have a child in the important position of king or queen. It might not have been quite as satisfying for the Hightowers. But it still would have meant that their heir would eventually sit on the throne. I appreciated your final comments about Rhaenys. I believe that she was standing vigil over Vaemond’s body. I expect that she would feel a bit of guilt over her role in his death, as it was her acceptance of Lucerys’ claim to Driftmark that totally shot down his own claim. I expect it was the fact that Viserys showed up for Rhaenyra that convinced her to make that declaration and officially accept Rhaenyra’s offers of the betrothals in that very public manner. Rhaenys is very shrewd. I look forward to your reactions to the final two episodes of the season, which are also excellent IMO.
Corlys wanted Lucerys to be heir to Driftmark. If you look into Corlys history. You will see that it was ALL Corlys Velaryon that built his house the richest in land. It was Corlys that went out on all those sea voyages, returning with priceless treasures. Vaemond attributed very little to making House Velaryon the success it was. With that regard, his got some balls on him. I say again, Vaemond gave nothing to the success of House Velaryon and it showed. Naming Rhaenyra's kids bastards and calling her a whore all in front of the king. That is a desperate move.
True. The Sea Snake was a legend. No man, apart from Aegon the Conqueror, had done so much for his house. Vaemond didn't even believe in the Seige of Stepstones which ultimately gave House Velaryon the control of the Narrow Sea and it's trade routes. His "I only care for the blood" rant was hollow. Given that Lucerys was to marry Rhaena, it would ultimately be Velaryon blood who would inherit the throne after them. But Vaemond didn't care cos he only wanted power.
My disgust for allicent went to new levels after this episode. She would rather have her rapist son be king than rhaenyra's son who is decent human just a bastard. Ugh!!! Despise her!!
Agreed! And it’s so funny watching team green trying to justify Alicent gaslighting, giving veiled threats to and paying off the r*ape victims of her son.
Aegon the Elder, Jace and Luke taunted Aemond with the "Pink Dread" (a pig with wings) in lieu of a real dragon back in the 6th episode. That's why Luke sniggered when the pig was set down before Aemond. Aegon is older than him, Jace the same age but Luke is younger. Aemond's not quite got over the indignity of being bullied by someone younger than him. Viserys thinks he's continuing the chat with Rhaenyra about Aegon's prophecy. But Alicent thinks he was telling her that Aegon (the elder) should be King. (Aegon the Elder is Alicent's kid. Aegon the Younger is Rhaenyra's kid with Daemon.)
In episode 10 Aegon the usurper = 20 years. Aemond the kinslayer = 17 years Halaena the dreamer = 18 years Jacaerys Targaryen = 16 years Lucerys Velaryon = 14 years Joffrey Velaryon = 7 years Aegon III = 4 years Viserys II = 2 years Aegon the usrper was a 14 year old, Aemond was 11, and Jace and Luke were 10 and 8.
Loved this episode,this is why she married daemon,she knew no one has balls to stand up to him and he will send a message to the greens that if they want to come after her they will have to go through him and he is literally the most dangerous man alive during the dance of the dragon.he is the only one that the greens are concerned about and afraid of. 👑👑👑👑🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
To bad in last episode she forgets why she even married him in the first place (to face greens) but sadly she was burdenizsed with Viserys’s prophecy and made same mistake that he did as king.
Vaemond is very dumb, because Rhaenyra also has Velaryon blood through her great-grandfather Old King Jaehaerys Targaryen and her great-grandmother Queen Alyssane Targaryen. The mother of Jaehaerys and Alyssane was Alyssa Velaryon who married the only son of Aegon I The Conqueror Targaryen and Queen Rhaenys Targaryen who was Aenys I Targaryen. The mother of Aegon I and Visenya and Rhaenys was also a Velaryon. Vaemond should have studied the family better instead of making accusations against Rhaenyra and saying that she does not know Velaryon blood when in fact Rhaenyra has Targaryen blood as well as Velaryon blood.
viserys has a form of leporsy it seems that either by coincidence or design, they placed the roasted pig in front of aemon. luke started laughing remembering “the pink dread” prank they pulled on him when they were younger.
Even tho I get where Vaemond was coming from too, Rhaenyra LITERALLY proposed the best peaceful solution that would resolve his concerns. Luke would marry Rhaena who IS of Velaryon blood as the daughter of Laena. So their children would still be of Velaryeon blood and the Velaryeon blood would rule over Driftmark for centuries to come. But it still wasn't enough for him cause "the lineage has to come from male heir" blah blah blah. He was already salty over the fact Rhaenyra was named the heir for the throne, he mentioned it himself in the throne room right to the King's face.
Helaena, Aegon's sister-wife, is a sweet thing and also might be a dragon dreamer. Essentially she's somewhat clairvoyant and possibly prescient (she sees the future or at least glimpses it)
Great reaction again💕 , this episode pulled some heart strings on me especially viserys 😢😭❤ , paddy did a wonderful job at playing him 👏🏾✨ i teared up when he showed out for his baby girl rhaenrya and the dinner scene ❤😢 also idk if you noticed but also really listen out for helaena alicent’s daughter who always speaks in riddles meaning supposedly some Targaryens are known for to have dreams/ visions like viserys who talked about his in the 1st & 3rd episode about having a son and he had aegon which came true another with Helaena in episode 6 she talked about her insect about it can’t see and it will “ have to close an eye” meaning she was referring to Aemond who lost his eye in episode 7 😅 then she said in this episode “ there’s a beast beneath the boards” , to make it easier alicent’s children in order : aegon , helaena , Aemond she also has a fourth son named daeron that I heard of fans say from the books but they never showed him in the show so we might see him next season , rhaenrya’s children in order : jace , Luke , Joffrey , aegon , viserys and the baby that’s in her belly now. And yes aegon is married to his sister helaena which I feel so bad for cause she’s so sweet and interesting 🥺they also have kids together 😅 rhaenys is her name who is the grandmother to rhaena and baela who will be marrying jace and Luke , also viserys thought he was talking to rhae about the prophecy of aegon the first who conquered westeros with his sisterwifes and he had a dream about the north anyways now alicent miss interpreted with thinking that viserys changed his mind and wants their son aegon to be king now lol this is what happens when everyone has almost the same names smh.🤦🏾♀️ 😂😒💀
I know y'all are Dr. Who fans. The kid with the long blonde hair playing Aegon in the last couple episodes is David Tenant's son. I was kind of sad to see him gone.
The Targaryen grandmother’s name is Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, the wife of Lord Corlys Velaryon and the mother of his children: Lady Laena Velaryon and Ser Laenor Velaryon. She is also the grandmother of Prince Daemon and Laena’s daughters Baela and Rhaena Targaryen.
Season 1 sort of serves as a prequel to The Dance of Dragons. The reason for the time jumps is that there Isn't much story to tell until the characters have reached the age they are in this episode.
Aegon married his sister, yes. Viserys & Damon's mother and father were brother and sister. Viserys & Damon's grandfather King Jaeharys married his great love his sister, Queen Alysanne. They even eloped before anyone could stop them.
At the beginning, Viserys thought he was talking to Alicent when it was Rhaenyra. Then at the end of the episode, that swapped. He was answering Rhaenyra’s question from earlier about Aegon the Conqueror. Alicent misunderstands, thinks he’s talking about _their son_ Aegon, and runs with it. 😫 And like someone else said- Aemond got in his feels about Luke laughing about the pig being placed in front of him; a reference to the Pink Dread they “gave” him as a kid. 🐷 One last thing- yalls reaction to Aemond was everything - I swear I said the exact same things 💀 (as well as most people) He did some ACTING with that one eyeball! 😂😂😂👁️🏴☠️👏🏼
Like condal said in the BTS they did a great job of showing how much the Red Keep and by extension King's Landing has changed under Hightower tutelage. When we started, it was such a lively place bustling with life and color filled with Targaryen erotica, dragon erotica. Now it has the feeling of a stern, austere monastery reflecting the temperament of the queen. It's heartbreaking watching the two trying to futilely make amends with an insurmountable gulf between them. In the show universe they did have a real love and friendship with each other at one time. But the were driven by the men around them. They tried to move away from the precipice. But as fate would have it, it's too late. The poison had already spread. The kids who do not appreciate the history that's gone into this and what's at stake, kicks it off. "To the health of my nephews, each of them handsome, wise and Strong!"
I loved seeing Vaemond getting his head sliced off. Not going to lie I didn't like the scene of Alicent misunderstanding Viserys's last words, like she's smart enough to not listen to the ramblings of a man who was high off milk of the poppy. To me it just gives her a way out as to why she does what she does in episode 9.
This was my favorite episode of the season. Vaemond claims Rhaenyra's son's have no Velaryon blood but they have it through Rhaenyra. I'll explain how, Aegon the Conqueror's mother was a Velaryon, then the Conqueror's son married a Velaryon and had kids with her which was King Jahaerys and Queen Alyssane who were half Velaryon, so that means Viserys has Velaryon blood also which passes through Rhaenyra's blood onto her son's. Rhaenyra's son's are also related to Laenor, they are 3rd cousin's to Laenor because Rhaenys and Viserys are 1st cousins, which makes Laenor and Rhaenyra 2nd cousin's so her son's are 3rd cousins to Laenor.
Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra, that rainy night rhaenyra went to speak to him and said "if you wish me to bear it then defend me." viserys was out of it and couldn't really respond but then later, after the dinner, he thought he was speaking to Rhaenyra. Both, Rhaenyra and Alicent have sons named Aegon so that's why Alicent thought it was her son but Voiserys meant Rhaenyra's son, Aegon.
This episode was amazing , Paddy Consadine really knocked it out of the park this one if he does not win the emmy there is no justice at all , the scene where Daemon picks up Viserys crown actually had me tearing up such a moving and powerful scene , All the other actors were fantastic too even the ones who have small roles are truly great in fact I don't think there is a bad performance in this show at all , special mention to Ewan Mitchell as Aemond who is truly scary and intimidating with just giving a look ( the eye patch , hair etc makes him look really bad ass ) really love Eve Best as Raenys too She has some great dialogue and her character is so cool . The last two episodes really ramp things up and events escalate , can't wait for your reactions as always. What with this and Andor those two shows were the real highlights of 2022 for me .
You haven't even seen who Paddy is going against. The billed him in the lead roll. That means he is going against Bob Odenkirk in BCS's last season, plus freaking Succession. Bob Odenkirk will be a heavy favorite, and deserves to win
My favorite episode of the whole season. Paddy did such an amazing job acting. Absolutely ridiculous that he got skipped over for any award nominations for this episode. The guy playing Aemond was in the series The Last Kingdom. He played a monk. If y'all haven't watched that series it would be great to react to. It is AMAZING! Has such great acting and cinematography. I love it more than GOT.
Yes. Aegon is married to his sister Helaena and they have twins, a boy and a girl. Names are Jaehaereys and Jaehaera. They do end up having another son, but I don't know if Maelor is born already by this time. If you remember in the last episode when Aegon is bitching to Aemond about having to marry her.
I don’t see anyone in the comments bringing this up so I will. Listen to what Helaena says! (Sister/Wife of Aegon) She seems to not make sense a lot of the time but everything she says has meaning. At 29:11 you hear her say ‘beware the beast beneath the boards’ which foreshadows future events. She has also foreshadowed more events, some of which have already happened. For example: when Alicent told Aemond that he will have a dragon one day, she says ‘he’ll have to lose an eye’. Another one that I rarely see mentioned is that she describes one of her bugs as having eyes yet not seeing, when Alicent asks her how that works she simply says ‘it is beyond our understanding’. She is possibly referring to Viserys refusing to see Rhaenyra’s children as illegitimate.
I don't know if he's nominated or not but Paddy def deserved an emmy for this. It's the strongest small screen performance at least I've seen this year.
Aemond said "3 Strong Boys" as in referring to the actual parentage of Rhanerya 3 eldest kids aka they are Harwin Strong's sons. Don't know if that dig registered.
I hope we get to see the rest of Westeros and how the noble houses will deal with this civil war in the next season. I have to give the writers credit, everything from here on out will have more gravity to it because of the world building they did in this season.
People on their deathbed can get so confused. They can mistake one person for another, and some talk to people who aren't even present (physically). Plus if you add a narcotic on top, such people can become delirious. It's tragic.
The ending is Viserys completing the conversation with Ryhaenrya from earlier where she asks him to defend her & her kids. He thinks he’s taking with her not Allicent.
The viewer always speculate how genuine those toasts were at the dinner. I always say those were the most authentic we've ever seen them because it was the only time they were NOT putting on their masks. It shows that without the line of succession and primogeniture and all the other royal madness mirroring what existed in medieval Europe, these people could've been really good friends. But the system they lived in destined them to murder each other. The dinner sequence makes for so much regret and despair cause it was a tiny window to what could've been. It’s the gossamer’s thread slipping away from their hands. They knew it was the last moments of solitude, but at the same time they probably did briefly delude themselves into thinking "maybe things will work out". They’re all unwitting participants in a tragic theater that’s about to unfold.
Viserys was sure he’s speaking with Rhaenyra about the prophecy of Aegon the conqueror during his last moments, and Alicent thought he’s talking with her about their son Aegon
Once Luke was betrothed to Rhaena, Vaemond's insistence that he only wanted his blood and lineage to carry on was bullshit. Their children would carry the Velaryon name from Luke and blood from Rhaena. He had his own ambitions in mind. He didn't care about lineage.
Yea once things weren't going his way his true intentions came up he's was just another spitfull younger brother who wanted power and took advantage of his brother's condition to get it .
Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra. He thought she was the prince who was promised. Like Varys said when he was talking about Daenerys, it could be a prince or princess because of the translation. So viserys calling rhaenyra his only child, sticking with her as his heir instead of his son, he really thought she would be the saviour of his realm because of his love for his first child that survived, from the wife he really loved. He never stopped loving Aemma
Why tf would they "kill" Viserys for 20 years? When Viserys had his full faculties intact and ruled himself for 18 of those years? Use a bit of ur brain. All it takes is for Daemon to sniff the milk of the poppy for you to fall for Daemon's murderous paranoia. Wife killer Daemon btw. That same paranoia that Otto warned would lead Rhaenyra to commit fratricide.
In the last scene the king thought he was speaking to his daughter. He was continuing the conversation for earlier when Rheynera went to his bedside to ask for help.
That awkward because we all know what happened in the final of the second season of House of the Dragons because Joffrey in Game of Thrones put a spoil of what happened to Rhaenyra in the final season of House of the Dragons she died eat by a Dragon 😅
ned loved ALL his children equally including jon. he adored that kid like he was his own. viserys married a child bride, forced her to squeeze out four children, only to never acknowledge their existence. Calling Viserys Ned is disrespecting Ned. Vaemond is more like Ned. Died for trying to tell the truth about an underserving bastard.
Just to clear things a bit, in the last scene, Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra (continuing their conversation in the earlier scene) and he was talking about Aegon the conqueror and his dream of ice and fire, but Alicent thought he was talking about their son Aegon when he said "it's him to unite the realm". So, basically, she thought he changed his mind and wanted his son Aegon to inherit the throne after him

Nothing to be seemed here, it has been confirmed that this was the case.
Fun fact about the scene where Daemon picked up Vicerys’ crown: apparently, while the actors where rehearsing, the crown prop really fell off of Paddy Considine’s head and Matt Smith improvised getting it for him. Brilliant.
Matt improvised a few scenes in Doctor Who too. He's so amazing. The crew were such a big fan of him. HoTD crew have also admitted on being huge admirers of Matt's work.
Sort of. He was just going to pick it up just to pick it up but when he actually reached down and grabbed it, the director and several others were like "OHHHHH SHI.... " so they reworked the scene to include that bit and shot it again.
but it also shows what Daemon wanted in all this world - to place the crown onto his brother's head and help him as a cane.
As much as I would love for this to be true, I highly doubt it is. The way the scene was directed and the nice shot of daemon crowning him was all most definitely planned out deliberately.
I don't think there could be a better Daemon than Matt Smith! I can't wait to see what next season brings.
The scene when daemon help viserys to the throne is really moved me. And when all the family is happy at the dinner is so warm. We will miss you viserys
Def the best episode. The scene where he shows up to save Rhaenyra and then having Daemon help him sit the throne encapsulated a big part of the s1 plot. So epic.
Just a point because I think you misunderstood it, Viserys' dying words were meant to be for Rhaenyra, because earlier she asked him if he thought it was true about Aegon the conquerors dream.
Yeah I wanted to say the same thing. I thought it was pretty obvious
The night and day acting of the actor that plays Aemond and his role as Osferth in Last Kingdom is crazy to me, dudes the nicest guy in Last Kingdom and then 3 years later is playing this psychopath!
Yes!! I keep telling people they need to react to that series cos it's so damn good..
Daemon and Aemond both have the same chaotic energy. They are both so very much alike, only Aemond has much more anger in him from losing his eye, which makes him more impulsive. But even he knew at that moment, trying to fight Daemon would be foolish. He saw Dark Sister in action. He's impulsive, not stupid.
Also, Aemond is an anagram of Daemon. Aemond is what Daemon would become if the darkness overflowed.
@@nikdik154 You're absolutely correct.
@@nikdik154 Aemond is like an alternate path for a choose your adventure book of Daemon. Every time Daemon went left in his life Aemond goes right.
Daemon rebels against his marriage while Aemond arranges his own political marriage.
Daemon breaks things off with his mistress Mysaria while Aemond falls for his.
Daemon abandons his brother while Aemond seems to stick by his brothers side and protect him.
I honestly can't wait for the Battle Above The Gods Eye
@@nikdik154you're highly reaching
32:25 Daemon be like: oh ffs here we go again... "say it"
Aemond: Gotta go!
😂😂
With all the cuts Viserys got from the blades on the iron throne, he fell part because of leprosy. Paddy Considine should win awards for his performance throughout the season.
Leprosy doesn't look like that
Daemon and Aemond, chaos recognize chaos. I can't fucking wait for the God's Eye in like....4 seasons or something. DAMN IT.
Hi. This is one of my favorite episodes of the season. The scene with Rhaenyra pleading with Viserys for support was great ( Emma D'Arcy is it killing as the older version! ), Paddy Considinecwas epic as Viserys, older version of Aemond is maniacally good. Daemon, bada** as usual, also showed his softer side helping Viserys up the Iron thrones steps after picking up the kings fallen crown and placing it on Visery's head. The ending with Alicent mistakenly taking Visery's the prince that was promised ramblings to mean her son Aegon was also good. Nice reaction as usual.✌
P.S. Hey Anthony, I knew what your shirts saying really means as soon as I saw it, pretty funny !😁
Yes, in that final scene Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra. It was as if he was continuing the conversation from the previous night when she came to him to ask if he really thought that the prophecy from Aegon the Conquerer was true, the Song of Ice and Fire. We didn’t see him really give any response to Rhaenyra that night. But if you go back and listen to it, what he says is directly an answer to what she was asking. And of course Alicent doesn’t know anything about that prophecy and heard him muttering something that included the name Aegon. Which she will think that he was talking about their son, not Aegon the Conqueror. When the screen went to black you heard his final words were “My Love.”Interviews with the actor confirmed that he felt that the Viserys would have been thinking about his first wife, Aemma. He said that he thought that the key to the character of Viserys was Aemma’s death in that first episode. She was the love of his life and he never forgave himself for his role in her death. It was definitely one of the reasons that he favored Rhaenyra so much, to the point of even referring to her as his only child in this episode. I really enjoyed the moment of Jace dancing with Helaena at the dinner. It makes me think about how Rhaenyra had proposed having those two get married at one point. And if Alicent would have accepted that it probably would have prevented any future conflict, as both branches of the family would have a child in the important position of king or queen. It might not have been quite as satisfying for the Hightowers. But it still would have meant that their heir would eventually sit on the throne. I appreciated your final comments about Rhaenys. I believe that she was standing vigil over Vaemond’s body. I expect that she would feel a bit of guilt over her role in his death, as it was her acceptance of Lucerys’ claim to Driftmark that totally shot down his own claim. I expect it was the fact that Viserys showed up for Rhaenyra that convinced her to make that declaration and officially accept Rhaenyra’s offers of the betrothals in that very public manner. Rhaenys is very shrewd. I look forward to your reactions to the final two episodes of the season, which are also excellent IMO.
Corlys wanted Lucerys to be heir to Driftmark. If you look into Corlys history. You will see that it was ALL Corlys Velaryon that built his house the richest in land. It was Corlys that went out on all those sea voyages, returning with priceless treasures. Vaemond attributed very little to making House Velaryon the success it was. With that regard, his got some balls on him. I say again, Vaemond gave nothing to the success of House Velaryon and it showed. Naming Rhaenyra's kids bastards and calling her a whore all in front of the king. That is a desperate move.
Desperate and suicidal.
He isn't even the real heir. The girls would be before him.
@@d3l3tes00n not really, the girls were daughters of the daughter - so very unlikely to inherit the throne.
True. The Sea Snake was a legend. No man, apart from Aegon the Conqueror, had done so much for his house. Vaemond didn't even believe in the Seige of Stepstones which ultimately gave House Velaryon the control of the Narrow Sea and it's trade routes.
His "I only care for the blood" rant was hollow. Given that Lucerys was to marry Rhaena, it would ultimately be Velaryon blood who would inherit the throne after them. But Vaemond didn't care cos he only wanted power.
@@scientia.veritas indeed true
If Viserys walking across that room didn't give you chills you weren't paying attention to the show. Great TV
My disgust for allicent went to new levels after this episode. She would rather have her rapist son be king than rhaenyra's son who is decent human just a bastard. Ugh!!! Despise her!!
Agreed! And it’s so funny watching team green trying to justify Alicent gaslighting, giving veiled threats to and paying off the r*ape victims of her son.
GRRM himself said that: "your Viserys is better than my Viserys"
I don't get it
Aegon the Elder, Jace and Luke taunted Aemond with the "Pink Dread" (a pig with wings) in lieu of a real dragon back in the 6th episode. That's why Luke sniggered when the pig was set down before Aemond.
Aegon is older than him, Jace the same age but Luke is younger.
Aemond's not quite got over the indignity of being bullied by someone younger than him.
Viserys thinks he's continuing the chat with Rhaenyra about Aegon's prophecy. But Alicent thinks he was telling her that Aegon (the elder) should be King.
(Aegon the Elder is Alicent's kid. Aegon the Younger is Rhaenyra's kid with Daemon.)
In episode 10
Aegon the usurper = 20 years.
Aemond the kinslayer = 17 years
Halaena the dreamer = 18 years
Jacaerys Targaryen = 16 years
Lucerys Velaryon = 14 years
Joffrey Velaryon = 7 years
Aegon III = 4 years
Viserys II = 2 years
Aegon the usrper was a 14 year old, Aemond was 11, and Jace and Luke were 10 and 8.
That crown moment made me honestly wish that Daemon was Viserys's hand... or Rhaenyra. When he walks up and looks at her my heart
It only took 8 episodes of predicting the king's death multiple times an episode before you got it right! 😂
Loved this episode,this is why she married daemon,she knew no one has balls to stand up to him and he will send a message to the greens that if they want to come after her they will have to go through him and he is literally the most dangerous man alive during the dance of the dragon.he is the only one that the greens are concerned about and afraid of. 👑👑👑👑🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
To bad in last episode she forgets why she even married him in the first place (to face greens) but sadly she was burdenizsed with Viserys’s prophecy and made same mistake that he did as king.
Vaemond is very dumb, because Rhaenyra also has Velaryon blood through her great-grandfather Old King Jaehaerys Targaryen and her great-grandmother Queen Alyssane Targaryen. The mother of Jaehaerys and Alyssane was Alyssa Velaryon who married the only son of Aegon I The Conqueror Targaryen and Queen Rhaenys Targaryen who was Aenys I Targaryen. The mother of Aegon I and Visenya and Rhaenys was also a Velaryon. Vaemond should have studied the family better instead of making accusations against Rhaenyra and saying that she does not know Velaryon blood when in fact Rhaenyra has Targaryen blood as well as Velaryon blood.
viserys has a form of leporsy
it seems that either by coincidence or design, they placed the roasted pig in front of aemon. luke started laughing remembering “the pink dread” prank they pulled on him when they were younger.
Even tho I get where Vaemond was coming from too, Rhaenyra LITERALLY proposed the best peaceful solution that would resolve his concerns. Luke would marry Rhaena who IS of Velaryon blood as the daughter of Laena. So their children would still be of Velaryeon blood and the Velaryeon blood would rule over Driftmark for centuries to come. But it still wasn't enough for him cause "the lineage has to come from male heir" blah blah blah. He was already salty over the fact Rhaenyra was named the heir for the throne, he mentioned it himself in the throne room right to the King's face.
This. He clearly didn't actually give a shit about blood, he wanted the throne
in my opinion this episode 8 of House of the Dragon is one of the best episodes in TV show history, it's actually a masterpiece
He did think it was Rhaenyra not Alicent. The dagger was shown as it held the prophecy on it.
Viserys was kind of a shit king for letting this situation get this bad, but he was an amazing man. Paddy Considine deserves an Emmy!
loved this episode soooo much!
Viserys' entrance in the throne room and the dinner scene are amongst my favourite Game of thrones moments!!
Daemon's personal motto: "Fuck around and find out..."
It was such a small moment but I loved when rhaeynes announced the marriage that both girls were happy about it.
When the king mentioned Aegon he was talking about Aegon the conquerer and the dream he had, not his son Aegon
21:41 The look on his face here absolutely kills me 😂
31:14 he over there sitting like a Sim 😂😂😂😂
Helaena, Aegon's sister-wife, is a sweet thing and also might be a dragon dreamer. Essentially she's somewhat clairvoyant and possibly prescient (she sees the future or at least glimpses it)
Great reaction again💕 , this episode pulled some heart strings on me especially viserys 😢😭❤ , paddy did a wonderful job at playing him 👏🏾✨ i teared up when he showed out for his baby girl rhaenrya and the dinner scene ❤😢 also idk if you noticed but also really listen out for helaena alicent’s daughter who always speaks in riddles meaning supposedly some Targaryens are known for to have dreams/ visions like viserys who talked about his in the 1st & 3rd episode about having a son and he had aegon which came true another with Helaena in episode 6 she talked about her insect about it can’t see and it will “ have to close an eye” meaning she was referring to Aemond who lost his eye in episode 7 😅 then she said in this episode “ there’s a beast beneath the boards” , to make it easier alicent’s children in order : aegon , helaena , Aemond she also has a fourth son named daeron that I heard of fans say from the books but they never showed him in the show so we might see him next season , rhaenrya’s children in order : jace , Luke , Joffrey , aegon , viserys and the baby that’s in her belly now. And yes aegon is married to his sister helaena which I feel so bad for cause she’s so sweet and interesting 🥺they also have kids together 😅 rhaenys is her name who is the grandmother to rhaena and baela who will be marrying jace and Luke , also viserys thought he was talking to rhae about the prophecy of aegon the first who conquered westeros with his sisterwifes and he had a dream about the north anyways now alicent miss interpreted with thinking that viserys changed his mind and wants their son aegon to be king now lol this is what happens when everyone has almost the same names smh.🤦🏾♀️ 😂😒💀
Daemon is a prince. Anyone who is closely related to to monarch like a sibling or child is called prince or princess.
I know y'all are Dr. Who fans. The kid with the long blonde hair playing Aegon in the last couple episodes is David Tenant's son. I was kind of sad to see him gone.
Viserys thought he was speaking to Rhaenyra
The Targaryen grandmother’s name is Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, the wife of Lord Corlys Velaryon and the mother of his children: Lady Laena Velaryon and Ser Laenor Velaryon. She is also the grandmother of Prince Daemon and Laena’s daughters Baela and Rhaena Targaryen.
Aemond is Osferth from The Last Kingdom. Baby monk
Season 1 sort of serves as a prequel to The Dance of Dragons. The reason for the time jumps is that there Isn't much story to tell until the characters have reached the age they are in this episode.
Aegon married his sister, yes.
Viserys & Damon's mother and father were brother and sister.
Viserys & Damon's grandfather King Jaeharys married his great love his sister, Queen Alysanne. They even eloped before anyone could stop them.
At the beginning, Viserys thought he was talking to Alicent when it was Rhaenyra. Then at the end of the episode, that swapped. He was answering Rhaenyra’s question from earlier about Aegon the Conqueror.
Alicent misunderstands, thinks he’s talking about _their son_ Aegon, and runs with it. 😫
And like someone else said- Aemond got in his feels about Luke laughing about the pig being placed in front of him; a reference to the Pink Dread they “gave” him as a kid. 🐷
One last thing- yalls reaction to Aemond was everything - I swear I said the exact same things 💀 (as well as most people)
He did some ACTING with that one eyeball! 😂😂😂👁️🏴☠️👏🏼
Like condal said in the BTS they did a great job of showing how much the Red Keep and by extension King's Landing has changed under Hightower tutelage. When we started, it was such a lively place bustling with life and color filled with Targaryen erotica, dragon erotica. Now it has the feeling of a stern, austere monastery reflecting the temperament of the queen. It's heartbreaking watching the two trying to futilely make amends with an insurmountable gulf between them. In the show universe they did have a real love and friendship with each other at one time. But the were driven by the men around them. They tried to move away from the precipice. But as fate would have it, it's too late. The poison had already spread. The kids who do not appreciate the history that's gone into this and what's at stake, kicks it off. "To the health of my nephews, each of them handsome, wise and Strong!"
I loved seeing Vaemond getting his head sliced off. Not going to lie I didn't like the scene of Alicent misunderstanding Viserys's last words, like she's smart enough to not listen to the ramblings of a man who was high off milk of the poppy. To me it just gives her a way out as to why she does what she does in episode 9.
This was my favorite episode of the season. Vaemond claims Rhaenyra's son's have no Velaryon blood but they have it through Rhaenyra. I'll explain how, Aegon the Conqueror's mother was a Velaryon, then the Conqueror's son married a Velaryon and had kids with her which was King Jahaerys and Queen Alyssane who were half Velaryon, so that means Viserys has Velaryon blood also which passes through Rhaenyra's blood onto her son's. Rhaenyra's son's are also related to Laenor, they are 3rd cousin's to Laenor because Rhaenys and Viserys are 1st cousins, which makes Laenor and Rhaenyra 2nd cousin's so her son's are 3rd cousins to Laenor.
Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra, that rainy night rhaenyra went to speak to him and said "if you wish me to bear it then defend me." viserys was out of it and couldn't really respond but then later, after the dinner, he thought he was speaking to Rhaenyra. Both, Rhaenyra and Alicent have sons named Aegon so that's why Alicent thought it was her son but Voiserys meant Rhaenyra's son, Aegon.
they didn't understand what the pig meant or him calling them strong boys. that was like the best part lol
This episode was amazing , Paddy Consadine really knocked it out of the park this one if he does not win the emmy there is no justice at all , the scene where Daemon picks up Viserys crown actually had me tearing up such a moving and powerful scene , All the other actors were fantastic too even the ones who have small roles are truly great in fact I don't think there is a bad performance in this show at all , special mention to Ewan Mitchell as Aemond who is truly scary and intimidating with just giving a look ( the eye patch , hair etc makes him look really bad ass ) really love Eve Best as Raenys too She has some great dialogue and her character is so cool .
The last two episodes really ramp things up and events escalate , can't wait for your reactions as always.
What with this and Andor those two shows were the real highlights of 2022 for me .
You haven't even seen who Paddy is going against. The billed him in the lead roll. That means he is going against Bob Odenkirk in BCS's last season, plus freaking Succession. Bob Odenkirk will be a heavy favorite, and deserves to win
My favorite episode of the whole season. Paddy did such an amazing job acting. Absolutely ridiculous that he got skipped over for any award nominations for this episode. The guy playing Aemond was in the series The Last Kingdom. He played a monk. If y'all haven't watched that series it would be great to react to. It is AMAZING! Has such great acting and cinematography. I love it more than GOT.
Yes. Aegon is married to his sister Helaena and they have twins, a boy and a girl. Names are Jaehaereys and Jaehaera. They do end up having another son, but I don't know if Maelor is born already by this time. If you remember in the last episode when Aegon is bitching to Aemond about having to marry her.
I don’t see anyone in the comments bringing this up so I will.
Listen to what Helaena says! (Sister/Wife of Aegon) She seems to not make sense a lot of the time but everything she says has meaning. At 29:11 you hear her say ‘beware the beast beneath the boards’ which foreshadows future events.
She has also foreshadowed more events, some of which have already happened. For example: when Alicent told Aemond that he will have a dragon one day, she says ‘he’ll have to lose an eye’. Another one that I rarely see mentioned is that she describes one of her bugs as having eyes yet not seeing, when Alicent asks her how that works she simply says ‘it is beyond our understanding’. She is possibly referring to Viserys refusing to see Rhaenyra’s children as illegitimate.
That improvised moment where Daemon puts the crown on his head had a grown man tearing up.
I don't know if he's nominated or not but Paddy def deserved an emmy for this. It's the strongest small screen performance at least I've seen this year.
"is that the wife?" yes.... and his sister lol
Aemond said "3 Strong Boys" as in referring to the actual parentage of Rhanerya 3 eldest kids aka they are Harwin Strong's sons. Don't know if that dig registered.
is it only who don't find aemond menacingly or scary? he's too trying hard to be a badass lmao
I guess they showed the immortal powers that Ser Criston has lol
"I don't like Alicent, she's like Cersei"
"I love Daemon so much, he murdered his first wife to be able to marry his niece"
I don't think continuing to compare characters is a cool thing, guys. they are all different
Funnily enough this is the only episode they open up with the time jump so no spoilers there.
Viserys thought he was talking to an Ryanaira when he was speaking to Allisent
I hope we get to see the rest of Westeros and how the noble houses will deal with this civil war in the next season. I have to give the writers credit, everything from here on out will have more gravity to it because of the world building they did in this season.
Remember the flying pig they said was Aemond’s dragon.
Lucery’s laughing set Aemond off. That laugh is disastrous
People on their deathbed can get so confused. They can mistake one person for another, and some talk to people who aren't even present (physically). Plus if you add a narcotic on top, such people can become delirious. It's tragic.
What y’all missed was Aemond was being served a boar, a pig, the same animal that “the Pink Dread” he was teased with before getting Vhagar.
WOW THAT ENDING!
The ending is Viserys completing the conversation with Ryhaenrya from earlier where she asks him to defend her & her kids. He thinks he’s taking with her not Allicent.
I love watching your reactions!!! Thank you for them!
The viewer always speculate how genuine those toasts were at the dinner. I always say those were the most authentic we've ever seen them because it was the only time they were NOT putting on their masks. It shows that without the line of succession and primogeniture and all the other royal madness mirroring what existed in medieval Europe, these people could've been really good friends. But the system they lived in destined them to murder each other. The dinner sequence makes for so much regret and despair cause it was a tiny window to what could've been. It’s the gossamer’s thread slipping away from their hands. They knew it was the last moments of solitude, but at the same time they probably did briefly delude themselves into thinking "maybe things will work out". They’re all unwitting participants in a tragic theater that’s about to unfold.
This man’s laugh is ICONIC 😂
Viserys thought he was speaking to Rhaenyra at the end
Viserys was sure he’s speaking with Rhaenyra about the prophecy of Aegon the conqueror during his last moments, and Alicent thought he’s talking with her about their son Aegon
Can't believe that entrance had alot of us chanting emmy oscar something. This whole episode was haunting, beautiful and sad. Loved it
Once Luke was betrothed to Rhaena, Vaemond's insistence that he only wanted his blood and lineage to carry on was bullshit. Their children would carry the Velaryon name from Luke and blood from Rhaena. He had his own ambitions in mind. He didn't care about lineage.
💯
Yea once things weren't going his way his true intentions came up he's was just another spitfull younger brother who wanted power and took advantage of his brother's condition to get it .
Absolutely loved this episode!
Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra. He thought she was the prince who was promised. Like Varys said when he was talking about Daenerys, it could be a prince or princess because of the translation. So viserys calling rhaenyra his only child, sticking with her as his heir instead of his son, he really thought she would be the saviour of his realm because of his love for his first child that survived, from the wife he really loved. He never stopped loving Aemma
He did not get cut by the throne that last time
Why tf would they "kill" Viserys for 20 years? When Viserys had his full faculties intact and ruled himself for 18 of those years? Use a bit of ur brain. All it takes is for Daemon to sniff the milk of the poppy for you to fall for Daemon's murderous paranoia. Wife killer Daemon btw. That same paranoia that Otto warned would lead Rhaenyra to commit fratricide.
In the last scene the king thought he was speaking to his daughter. He was continuing the conversation for earlier when Rheynera went to his bedside to ask for help.
That awkward because we all know what happened in the final of the second season of House of the Dragons because Joffrey in Game of Thrones put a spoil of what happened to Rhaenyra in the final season of House of the Dragons she died eat by a Dragon 😅
ned loved ALL his children equally including jon. he adored that kid like he was his own. viserys married a child bride, forced her to squeeze out four children, only to never acknowledge their existence. Calling Viserys Ned is disrespecting Ned. Vaemond is more like Ned. Died for trying to tell the truth about an underserving bastard.
Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra again on his death bed, when speaking to Alicent.
“There can only be one.”
Oh boy.
King aemond 🐉
Omg you have the coolest haunter beanie.. viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra
Cant wait for the next 2 episodes :D
you’re right, alicent is never fully evil at heart in the show
Viserys thought he was continuing his conversation Rheanera in the last bit there.. but Alicent thought he was talking about Aegon
His shirt “tu eres un pendejo” omg looool
Just to clear things a bit, in the last scene, Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra (continuing their conversation in the earlier scene) and he was talking about Aegon the conqueror and his dream of ice and fire, but Alicent thought he was talking about their son Aegon when he said "it's him to unite the realm". So, basically, she thought he changed his mind and wanted his son Aegon to inherit the throne after him
