- Mummy's going to war!
This video unpacks the brilliantly acted last scene of Season 2 Episode 3 where Rhaenyra Targaryen sneaks into the Grand Sept of Baelor to speak peace to Alicent Hightower. This scene reveals as much as it cloaks, and both Emma D'arcy and Olivia Cooke gave a sumptuous performance just with their faces.
This video also mentions: Precarious Manhood Theory in psychology which was an emphasised theme in this episode--mayhaps underscored by one Aemond Targaryen.

![[4K] BABYMONSTER(베이비몬스터) “FOREVER” Band LIVE Concert “영원히” 베몬만을 사랑하게 되…💗 [it’s KPOP LIVE 잇츠라이브]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/TQfC0xdpiw4/mqdefault.jpg)
Emma D'Arcy is INCREDIBLE in this scene. Maybe their best performance of the whole series so far, which is really say something. Rhaenyra's look of "Ohhhhh....GODS DAMMIT, Alicent" after the the two of them realize the truth of what happened is just brilliant.
I thought so too 😊
Yo ame esa parte su actuación y cambios de cara de pasar al dolor cuando ella le pregunta si su padre dijo su nombre le salen las lágrimas de dolor y pensando entonces si eligió a Aegon pero al decir lo del príncipe elegido allí cambio su cara al saber que Alicent entendió mal y nunca le dijeron de la canción ni a ninguno de los verdes y se alegro
While I agree that they have been absolutely amazing, I think their acting was really exemplified and ability shown to be outstanding in the scene where Rhaenyra discovered Daemon had gotten the boy killed by blood and cheese, or that it was his plotting rather. The anger and facial expressions and just pure emotion in that scene really sold them more for me, even though they were already sold for me since season one. Rhaenyra actor is just getting better and better every episode!!
@@gurbgerbthat was another acting highlight from them from this episode. Emma had said in an interview during their lengthy auditions they had to give a virtuoso performance to many scenes. I don't think they stopped doing virtuosic performances
I know that this scene is over the top and it didn’t really make sense, but I still really liked it. Not only are the actors both wonderful, the relationship between these two is at the core of the show. They needed to have another scene together before the fighting began, even if the circumstances don’t quite make sense.
I hope Emma D’Arcy wins an Emmy. Her acting is so amazing. I feel every emotion from her performance.
This is the worst plot in this show, the most important woman on westeros randomly shows up to the regent in the middle of like 20k soldiers and like 2 dragons and alicent is like nah girl its fine leave, we will sacrifice tens of thousands of lives another day, not to mention you had my grandson decapitated, its all good gurl
If you had a childhood best friend that you grew up with, and an opportunity to prevent war, why wouldn't that meeting be a possibility?
@@rebshannonling Wouldn't it be more plausible if this scene took place during the Fall of King's Landing instead??
@@Psychratic_JMB Probably, but wouldn’t it be too panicky, trying to help Aegon II escape during the Fall of King’s Landing? Alicent would be hard pressed to find precious alone time to visit the Grand Sept at that time. Rhaenyra would probably want to claim what’s rightfully hers after sacking the greens too. Hmm…
@@rebshannonling this is why you abide by the source material and not improvise personal views on the spot.
I get wanting the confrontation about the prince that was promised, but there’s a time and place for which the source material provided already.
Agreed
Could someone please tell me what the background music in the last scene is?
This is GOT season 7 and 8 all over again, Ryan Condal Why ? ??? YOU HAVE THE BOOK !!!! 😭😭
Blame Sarah Hess and Geeta Patel, these women are not understanding Grrm and Grrm is wh0ring out his canon for some money
The book is not fact; it is written from the perspective of the maesters, who are biased.
@@AnkitSingh-cd7twno dude Ryan Condal is also terrible lmao he keeps wanting to change everything from the book
George is literally helping them, there is no need for a book, in fact such book was written with all the intention to NOT TO BE a good source, everything there is from a POV of maesters and noblemen that are completely biased
@@ragnabolt683
that’s not how it works
This is fantasy show not real history and the writers know this they didn’t changed the story for the sake of the true history they did it because they thought it would be better
Either you put something better then the books or don’t change the story
Emma is one of the best actors I’ve seen, ever. Everyone in the show is fantastic but for some reason Emma’s performance seems like it is a notch higher. Even with great actors, like Olivia Cooke, you can tell that their performance is ever so slightly inauthentic and some moments can feel a little contrived. Like they had planned out all of the beats ahead of time and are going through the motions rather than being guided by their impulses. That’s not the case with Emma. I believed every single second of Emma’s performance.
To me, it's Emma's excellent control of subtle microexpressions and using very appropriate non-verbal movements (remember the clawing at her abdomen in s1e10?) that kept nailing the character and scene right
I love, love, love Emma D'Arcy. It's like we can actually see their thought process
And their expressions are sometimes so deliciously subtle too
Her thought process. Whether she wants to admit it or not she’s a woman. There is no non binary. Gender is a biological construct not a social construct
Tell me in the books rhaeneyra and alicent did nothing in the dance without telling me:
They have been the ones attending the council and thinking of their strategy to win the war. What else do you expect both of them to do? They are their Queens. You lose the Queen, you lose the War. Are you dumb?
*Tell me you're cringe without telling me you're cringe.*
What do you expect from them to do? Just ride out with their dragons to their opposing sides home? You realize if Alicent goes to Dragonstone, Daemon will burn her alive, right? Same with Rhaenyra if she goes to Kings Landing with Aegon and Aemond's dragon. When you declare war, do you send the Kings/Queens first? Cringe asf. an actual idiot
Why did Rhaenyra do that?
last attempt to prevent a war that will destroy both sides. there is no winner in dragon war.
Love your analysis of ancient manhood. I enjoy the themes of how men and women differ in times of war. Loving the show.
Thanks 😊
I know this scene wasn't in the books, but I personally think it's really important for the story they're trying to tell. It's clear they're trying to make Rhaenyra and the Blacks the good guys. Therefore, she needs to be a little bit more conflicted about outright marching to war. This scene is the culmination of her inner and outer conflicts and really provides a pushing point to go forward with the war.
She should’ve had that since her son death
it definitely makes sense that they wanted to include this scene. in episode 2, you can just see both rhaenyra and alicent are hesitant. they needed closure too. but alicent was right it's too late. i'm team black but with aemond and cole heading to the war it's definitely too late. rhaenyras blacks army are heading out too.
what's so sad about the greens and alicent is despite alicent being the queen she can't do anything at all. cole, aemond, aegon are manipulating her. that's what i really hate about their house. only green I genuinely liked was helaena. she deserves so much better.
@@peytonsmith1062 they are not manipulating her
She doesn’t have control over them
The message that I think they're trying to convey here is that this war, as all wars, are born of confusion, stupidity and, most of all, lack of communication. This is why I think they added this scene that wasn't in the books and I think it's awesome that they did.
I cringed at this scene. Absolutely nonsensical for Rhaenyra to risk her life, the lives of her bannermen, and possibly abandon her family just to do a Mission Impossible stunt. Lunacy. George RR Martin would never do something like this.
I’m going to block this scene out of my mind, just like I did with the Rhaenys scene.
This scene does not occur in the books. The showrunners decided to waste 20 minutes of screen time for what?? Meanwhile the source material has over 400 pages of information of use...these people are as embarassing as D&D.
Dude, the book is written from the Greens winner perspective, do you think they would run a narrative that makes Rhaenyra looks empathetic? Enjoy the fucking show
one of the best scenes of the show whether you like it or not
@@alexcaceres100 Lazy excuse for a useless scene.
@@heykayart *weakest* is what I believe you meant to say...
@@Psychratic_JMB womp womp find another show to watch instead of complaining.
oof I did not like this scene… what people felt about rhaenys escape last season is what I felt with this reunion
It's restraint. Imagine having the controls to a massive nuclear weapon--do you try to find peace or do you press the launch button at every insult?
Worse writing than D&D and it's just season 2
don't watch it then. go back to watching GoT
@@peytonsmith1062 u liked ur own comment 🫵💀
@@peytonsmith1062If we who criticized stupidity don't watch then the whole franchise will go off the rails 💀
You should stop watch it actually 🤣
bro what are you smoking 😂😂😂 ok how is it bad? tell me something you would do differently lol
@@Howlsmelancholy9300 Maybe not sending Rhaenyra to King's Landing to talk to the woman who usurped her and made the death of her son and daughter possible... This is not a human character anymore. Noone would do that.
I swear this scene was so long and stupid and pointless. Ain’t no one care about this me wanna see rooks rest
Oh brother this guy stinks 😂
