This is this show's Light of the Seven. She is this show's 'Dark Queen' archetype, Cersei Lannister's position, Margaery Tyrell's colouring and background and Sansa Stark's personality, the full package.
One of the most important detail in this scene in my opinion it’s just getting started ! I feel sad that not a lot of people realise the potential this scene has and how important it is.
Imagine if got a shot of the hightower in the distance glowing green, from the perspective of various vassal lords answering the call to fight both for and against their liege lord
This was the first scene Alicent stopped wearing demure blue dresses or Targaryen black and red. She realized the Targaryens would never truly accept her as one of their own, and by wearing this dress she was sending a message that she, too, is not one of them. Definitely one of the best scenes of the first season to me
@@-_YouMayFind_- Eh, no, she decided to do that all by herself. Alicent was manipulated by Otto, and she finally noticed that in episode 9, but before that she already had some fire
Idk I dont think they wouldnt have accepted her. She was trapped in a loveless marriage to a man who could literally be her father (shes the same age as Rhaenyra in the show) and was manipulated by her father. Whatever Alicent is a chad, Rhaenyra just happens to out Chad her
It seems a theme for House Lannister and Tyrell combined! Strenght and elegance, power and ambition, a great warning for everyone! Alicent is in the great Game now
"The beacon on the hightower, do you know what color it glows when they call its banners to war?" The quote never mentions anything about house hightower starting the war. It's just when they go to war
This is this show's Light of the Seven. Alicent is this show's 'Dark Queen' archetype, Cersei Lannister's character position, Margaery Tyrell's colouring and background and Sansa Stark's emotionally sensitive, vulnerable personality and 'weak first, strong later' arc, all three into one Dark Green Queen, the full package.
Exactly! I love how young Rhaenyra and Alicent mimic Arya and Sansa respectively. There is something of a Margaery in Alicent, and obviously a lot of Daenerys in Rhaenyra. But I would say that they both have a lot of Cersei in them as well, maybe not that diabolical, but Cersei non the less. Each one in a different way. And that will become more evident as the story progresses further. Cant wait.
@@Alex-mn1fb and finally it makes sense since Alicent is an ancestor of Margeary. Margeary's mother, Alerie, is a Hightower. They got the same badass vibes
@@thomasadjado4163: There's no such thing as an "indirect ancestor"; she's some kind of great aunt or cousin a dozen generations removed, not an ancestor.
I love what they did with her in the show. She is far more multidimensional, and she is actually a pretty decent Queen, politically savvy, gracious with the lords and ladies, pious.... all the qualities that would be viewed as important for a medieval Queen. And she seems to truly care for Rhaenyra, and their relationship, always trying to reach out and mend the rift. But she abandons any loyalty to her, feeling betrayed and lied to. But more importantly she also realizes that between her children and her friend, she is now a mother first and foremost. And as Otto pointed out, her children will always be an obstacle to Rhaenyra. She wore the green dress to signal to loyalists and supporters of her and her sons, that despite her father being gone she is now the leader of the Green faction and the beacon around which they will rally around. The realization on her face when Otto tells her to choose had me thinking of that epic sentence : "When you play the Game of Thrones you win or you die". She finds herself now fully in it, and she has to play to win it. Even if it was not her choice at first. Great episode !!
@@musicguy7230 Aww thank you very much. 🙏 I was just blown away by the music and this scene that is simple but powerful. So much is being said without using words!
At this moment I was Green, this scene is just amazing, look the face and the expressions of Allicent, she said everything just walking through the weeding.
Djawadi can't stop pumping out masterpieces. This piece and Rhaenyra's theme with the chanting choir in the background are amazing. The music adds so much to the scenes. I'll never forget the eerie sense of dread I got when I heard the piano theme in Light of the Seven the first time. This entrance rivaled it for a brief moment.
@@TheSamnoy just because someone is “evil“ doesn’t mean that they can be an incredible character. Clearly, if you see them as evil, they must be an incredible character But in this story, there is no good or evil.
With the music that came with it, this makes anyone feel like they're being called to war for the Green Queen. Such a powerful statement this scene made.
This theme has high pitched violins matching Rhaenyra's theme with the voice, but the slower pace makes it feel more dramatic, calculated and quietly angry (which Alicent has every right to be after being betrayed despite her best efforts to make everything work, so this theme 100% fits the scene it's associated with), whereas Rhaenyra's theme has a wilder, free feel of "I'll do what I want". I _love_ how Alicent is written on this show so far, and the actress for her younger version did an amazing job with her. She deserves to have this fantastic theme.
It feels like... Westerosi.We have actually never seen what real Westeros culture looks like.I'm not talking about Valyrian houses like Targaryens and Valeryons nor isolated houses like Starks and Vale houses.I'm talking about Westeros royalty... The Reach, Westerlands even a little Riverlands.This is how Westerosi royalty sounds like.
@@cmike.skywalker First Men culture has been wiped out beside some Old God worship in the North and Upper Riverlands and Neck. Westeros has been Andal for thousands of years by now. Even the Starks speak in Andal tongue.
Not only westerosi, this feels even more "human". The maesters of the citadel (in Oldtown, ruled by the Hightowers) supposedly have a plot to eradicate magic (and dragons) from the world. This is a melody of westerosi humanity, constrasted to other more magical melodies of the valyrian targaryens (and their dragons).
I've seen a few people saying this song reminds them of "Light of the Seven"... I'm not sure how similar they are musically (I'm no musician) but this would thematically make a lot of sense. The Starry Sept, home of the Faith, is based in Oldtown with strong links to House Hightower, who tend to be pretty religious. There is a genuine connection there.
I’m a fan of Ramin for years (since GoT) and this is one of my favorite pieces he has ever made. Chilling, regal, and dignified all at once. It commands respect. Perfect.
It has some similarities to Rheanyra's theme but has veey different tone, more villainous and also more emotional. Rheanyra's sounds courageous but brutal
Rhaenyra: Passionate, regal, direct Alicent: Manipulative, emotional, twisted I think that represents each others’ personality perfectly. Rhaenyra is basically the straight up royal who is always blunt while Alicent and the Hightowers are more emotionally complex and get twisted by the political game they themselves play so even if they initially have a good heart it gets twisted into something ugly
@GJ the Targaryens literally held the realm together until the dance, which was mostly Alicent's fault. And the "gods flip a coin" line didn't even make sense to me, considering we've had like 4 mad Targaryens.
@@outbobthelaw2248 mostly Alicent faul lol 1. the war would have happened anyway you fool (you really think an even small conflict wouldn't have happen if half the realm wanted a male heir?) 2. BOTH alicent and RHAENYRA failed to put a stop at this
@@Fayew98 of course! I like the schemers and percieved bad guys. I find them more interesting. The show added even more complexity to the greens, especially in relation to alicent.
@@Fayew98Because there are more complex characters, even if the author and the show make daemon and Rhaenyra look better, I think they are serious and lame.
This is the beginning of Game of Thrones, the evolution of Alicent from a naive young girl to a devious Cersei like character. No doubt the culmination of her story will be heart-wrenching.
I think she will be more like Margaery. Clever and kind. And people won't see her as a threat. Cersei was too aggressive and wicked. But we shall see... xoxo Stepdaughter
@@iFruit96 cercei is smart and I prefer her because she's more charismatic, but alicent is more cunning and does more than speaks, you'll see, alicent is dealing with dragons not roses and wolves.
If someone is Cersei, that's Rhaenyra. Three bastards kids and when people state the obvious she says "lies" and would likely see them punished. "This is the highest of treasons".
In the books im pretty sure alicent was pregnant with daeron here. But here i think shes pregnant with aemond. Which is kinda symbolic, considering when viserys was talking about prophecies in ep 3 she was pregnant with halaena and the day she wears the green dress(her declaration of war) shes pregnant with aemond. Her little war criminal. Lol
I honestly couldnt catch the brilliance of this music until Aegon's coronoation in which a more majetic and epic version of this tune plays. The hightower theme is truly special.
Alicent was on Rhaenyra's side for a long time - choosing to believe her half-truths and lies when nobody else did. In the books she also suggests Rhaenyra should marry her half-brother (Alicent's oldest son). Had it worked out, Alicent's plan would 1) make Rhaenyra queen and 2) prevent future bloodshed. But Viserys and Rhaenyra rejected this plan and the civil war erupted.
@@JUANxxTNAFAN reason why they all got destroyed and killed in books renne, Damon and their 5 sons including alicent and her 2 sons and one daughter... Only aegon was left to rule
Her stature while walking, the look her House gave her, the way she called Rhaenrya stepdaughter, the way she kissed Viserys icily... The Game Has Begun.
Thank you sm for everything you have done with this show… you have been such an asset to the hotd community🙏… one theme you missed was the one where daemon was ransacking the town in episode one… I would very much like that one if you could manage. Thanks again mate!
The way she stepped at the entrance, how everyone (even Viserys) stopped everything they were doing, they way she stepped down the stairs, how she walked the head high, shoulders wide, chest open and the glowing "gather for war" green dress shining even more than the sun itself in that throne room, how her family understood her motives immediately and how her uncle stood up for the green queen, the damn way she was walking, every step is a message to everyone there, the way she fucking spoke to Rhaenyra and called her STEPDAUGHTER for fuck sake, the cold congratulations to the bride, and finally the cold kiss on Viserys cheek.... absolute perfection and greatness
No matter you are Black or Green, calling Alicent a snake for standing her ground is ridiculous. Otto was right that Alicent either has to carve something out for her and her children, or do nothing and hope Rhaenyra wouldn't kill her children to secure her own power. She learned that her former best friend that she desperately tried to win over flat out lied to her face and made her feel like a fool for going out of her way to protect said lying friend/step-daughter who used the lie to remove her father from the office. What's more, it means that Rhaenyra cannot be trusted and never really trust her. What if Rhaenyra said she wouldn't harm Alicent's children when she becomes queen? What if it is another lie? Without her father, Alicent was pretty much forced to stand alone in order to secure a place for her children. And if she cannot trust her husband's family, she will always have the support of her own.
I understand Alicent she has to defend herself and her family from Rhaenira because people change with time and probably her best friend for the seek of power have to kill Alicent kids so that no one claims her reign. 💚
@@Infernal460 to be fair. Rhaenyra only starts to lose her shit properly after loosing a few kids, getting backstabbed by those she trusted and dealing with a series of escalating disasters.
The reminiscence of Light of the Seven gave me goosebump right away. This foreshadows so well the absolute mayhem this show is gonna turn into. God I love it!!!
I kept rewatching the scene just to hear the music. What a masterpiece. This is up there with light of the seven for me.
Same the music was superb.
I'm team blacks all the way but Alicent might make me go green, she's great 🙈.
I felt that way about 'Daemons letter' theme (when he was rowing the boat to the stepstones). This has been an amazing season for music. Amazing!

@@nicolas0402 and that fire was caused by her father

But shows dignity at all times, which is something Rhaenyra can not do.
@@Infernal460 absolutely agree. Rhaenyra is arrogant and she wouldn’t have been a good Queen
And the great game is terrifying...

No matter you are Black or Green, calling Alicent a snake for standing her ground is ridiculous. Otto was right that Alicent either has to carve something out for her and her children, or do nothing and hope Rhaenyra wouldn't kill her children to secure her own power.
She learned that her former best friend that she desperately tried to win over flat out lied to her face and made her feel like a fool for going out of her way to protect said lying friend/step-daughter who used the lie to remove her father from the office. What's more, it means that Rhaenyra cannot be trusted and never really trust her. What if Rhaenyra said she wouldn't harm Alicent's children when she becomes queen? What if it is another lie?
Without her father, Alicent was pretty much forced to stand alone in order to secure a place for her children. And if she cannot trust her husband's family, she will always have the support of her own.
I understand Alicent she has to defend herself and her family from Rhaenira because people change with time and probably her best friend for the seek of power have to kill Alicent kids so that no one claims her reign. 💚
Best theme so far, this one and the one from proloque are awesome
We can hear the betrayal in this music
Rhaenyra has already started, so all bets are off.
Well, Alicent is a traitor. So it makes sense 😉
@@cmike.skywalker Rhaenyra is a usurper.
@@cmike.skywalker
Traitor to whom ??
Lol...
great scene
Man the theme of the female characters are so chilling and powerful from within. I wouldn't mess with women of Royalty
This bgm alone is enough to flip to the team Green
That music sent the right goosebumps to the scene
This theme is a masterpiece.
I need Rhaenyra in her black and red dress now.
@Booper Dooper Sounds very Cercie.
@@Infernal460 Alicent more like cersei youll see
@@jaydayoungog3917 bah Rhaenyra isn't better than Alicent... they both will do shitty things
@@jaydayoungog3917 Oh I disagree, Alicent is sober and is as clever as she thinks she is.
Rhaenyra, not so much as we will see.
@@Infernal460 to be fair. Rhaenyra only starts to lose her shit properly after loosing a few kids, getting backstabbed by those she trusted and dealing with a series of escalating disasters.
Let the dance begins 🔥💚
had chills the first time this scene came on, have chills now listening to the track
I highly hope you put these on Spotify 😍
The reminiscence of Light of the Seven gave me goosebump right away. This foreshadows so well the absolute mayhem this show is gonna turn into. God I love it!!!
The beacon is lit! The Queen calls for aid!
Gives me chills as Light of Seven.. Ramin never disappoints..👏
I love how majestic and royal this music is
1:05 always gives me chills
Damn hightower theme is dope
Good performance
This song makes me team green. Just this song 🐲🔥
When you hear Leinster music, you are dead, and when you see Hightowers wearing green, you are also dead
Some BGM takes time to grow on you, others straight up hit the cord. This one is the latter 💚
As i am on team Blacks this moment gave me chills felt like Alicent was coming for rhaenyra and everyone who supported her. Great Scene
Three epic entrances lol yes, Daemon's entrance crushing the wedding was epic, too!
Nah it was so corny lol
@@gee2541 corny how ? it was funny by how much he doesn't give a fuck 😹
I thought it was pretty swag. Like 'I'm back, btches" haha love Matt Smith as Daemon!!
I'm not team green under any circumstances but this entrance was bold and lovely. Another great, inspiring piece from Ramin!
My Queen Green 👑💚
