  • 🐉 Episode Overview:
    The chaotic fourth episode of “House of the Dragon” Season 2 marks a major turning point in the Dance of the Dragons, with King Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney), Rhaenys (Eve Best) and two dragons coming out of the epic Battle of Rook’s Rest not so unscathed. It also feels like a good opportunity to remember that teasing Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) is always a bad idea. Like, a really, really bad idea.

    Meleys was too injured to have made it very far & Rhaenys would have never abandoned Meleys even for the sake of her own safety. That last look they gave before turning back to fight Vhaegar again was a mutual acknowledgement they were gonna go down together. Makes that whole moment that much more heartbreaking.

      On top of that; she signed up for this job, to save Rooks Rest, she knew she had to continue her defense of the castle.
      She knew Vhagar fell to the ground, and was searching for him. Killing Aemon, and Vhagar would be a absolute victory for the Blacks.
      SO she did what she thought was best, and finish what she started.
      Unfortunately Vhagar is just to strong and dangerous for her to fight

    Rhaenys returned because regardless of the ambush, the order from her queen and the original intention was to secure rooks rest and stop criston cole's advance. she could've easily fled on several occasions but that would mean effectively giving up the crownlands and maybe the war at this point, so she took her chances and decided to fight.
    she already beat aegon and she saw how ruthless aemond was, so in a sense dhe was hoping she could end the whole war for rhaenyra here once and for all,. In a sense she knew the danger she was in so you could say she was effectively commiting suicide, but she also knew what fleeing would mean for rhaenyras war effort, so she stayed and fought...
    say what you wil about rhaenys but if she was the queen she seemed the kind to take on the battle herself rather than send people to do the fighting for her, something we see in rhaenyra too, which is why she stands by her

  • @prisaxl1562
    @prisaxl1562 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +12

    We must remember Rhaenys didnt flew to Rook's Rest to battle Vhagar and Sunfyre alone. She was there to defend the castle to ensure it wont fall to the greens. That's why she kept coming back since the battle wasnt over yet. Yes, she could flee, but Rhaenys is Rhaenys and duty compels her to do so.

    The song of ice and fire is suppose to be passed down from heir to heir so she did have a good reason for telling Jace. Viserys immediately told her after naming her heir-- before an official coronation.

      @gailf1617 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I have never understood why more of the Targaryen kings and their heirs didn't write down the prophecy of Aegon's Dream - it's rather important that the knowledge not be lost, and heirs can die before their fathers, as Jaehaerys I could testify. It's theorized that Rhaegar Targaryen found written evidence of the Song of Ice and Fire; so perhaps some Targaryen DID write down the story of Aegon's Dream....

      I don’t see Aemond as a villian.
      He is protecting himself & his family.
      He accidentky killed Luke yes….so being killed would be an eye for an eye and he knows that .
      He is angry kid who was ans is still bullied by his brother and nephews.
      I feel for him…
      Like yes he is increasingly becoming Daemon…
      He doesn’t choose NOT to use his power, but what is he to do?
      He still has to stand with his family.
      Unfortunately for him he doesnt have a mother or father’s love …
      He is a product of his environment.
      He has shown that he feels remorse for Luke, he feels for Heleana… he respects Daemon.
      He just happens to have this power because of Vaegar.
      He’s the underdog that now is seen as a villian when he has a good but broken heart inside.

On tje other hand he wasnt interested in being a king until coronation when people showed him signs of love his parents didnt care to give.

      That's what I thought at first but I think strategically it hurts team Black because they're cut off from the mainland if they lose Rooks Rest (since they reside on Dragonstone, an island). On the map they'll need to take another path through Driftmark which is full of water. Daemon can do something on land but team Black feels like their path is divided now. I'd be interested to see how this affects them strategically next ep.

    It HAD to be Rhaenys and Meleys. People are crying…yes I did as well but at the end of the day She redeemed herself because she could have ended it before it began. Also she was counseling Rhaenyra the entire time advising her to hold back from the attack. She died a Queen though. Her death just changed the game. And she was trying to push Corlys to name a successor as well because she KNEW that he is gonna be setting out to avenge her leaving Driftmark Throne vulnerable.

    Battle of Rooks Rest is even sadder when you know that Vhagar (Aemond's Dragon) and Meleys (Rhaenys dragon) go way back. They used to bonded to Viserys and Daemon's parents and flew together then and then again when Vhagar was claimed by Laena (Rhaenys daughter). Then seeing them turned against each other is so sad. RIP Meleys "the Red Queen" and Princess Rhaenys "The Queen Who Never Was".
    FYI: Maesters are the learned men of westeros (they only have like one school which produces maester and then those maesters go on to teach the nobility). They're often times doctors as well as scholars. The team green maester also probably speaks high valyrians and saw how humbling that whole exchange was lol

    Rhaenys would not have left the men of House Staunton. She went there to fight on their behalf, she could not abandon them. And she never would have. She was a badass Dragon Lady, the Queen Who Never Was riding the Red Queen. It's not just that it would have looked bad politically if she had abandoned Rook's Rest, she just isn't made that way.

      Weakening even more her claim to the throne and ability to gather an army.
      And with the chance of killing Vhagar the war would be over.

    This show does a great job at foreshadowing what’s to come. If you notice earlier in the episode, Alicent was holding Viserys model of dragon Balerion “the black dread” & she dropped it. One of the wings broke off. Then when Aegon was in his drunken tantrum he knocked the glass pitcher off of the table. There was a dragon on the pitcher and it shattered to pieces. Both foreshadowed 2 dragons going down, but only one was in pieces

    I think the reason Aegon is so upset about not being listened to is because as Corlys once said "History doesn't remember blood, it remembers names." If he sits back and does nothing all everyone will speak about is how great Cole was in battle and how formidable Ameond was on Vhagar - just like they were saying at the council meeting before he left. He will be forgotten in history if he cannot make a notable contribution. I actually felt bad for him. He didn't want this, he never did. They never even trained him secretly to do the job correctly if they wanted him to have it. And now they belittle him for not knowing enough. He only started wanting to be King during the coronation because the people applauded and praised him, something he never got at home from his family. Alicent is a terrible mother. She didn't even comfort him when his son died and now when she actually speaks to him it is only to make him feel useless and worthless. I know people say that is because she got that from her father but that's not true because other people can go through those same experiences and choose to be much better as parents than their own parents were to them. Simply because they understand how bad it made them feel growing up in a household like that - they overcompensate for it. She is cruel because she wants to be nothing more.

    The king or any kind of aristocratic lord holding a title is an inherited individual therefore you’ll get different situations of maturity. Sometimes you have babies, children and even teenagers inheriting titles because it’s their birth right and there are grown adults to run the business of ruling for them till they come of age. In the green faction Aegon is the rightful heir that no one can do anything about it. Aegon isn’t dumb, he was neglected by his mother and grandfather and father.

    Princess Rhaenyra chose Ser Criston Cole because he was already battle tested in the field during the Dornish Marches back in the day. So he's a very capable field commander and military taction when the Dance of the Dragons starts, which gives the Greens a somewhat strategic advantage. As far as King Aegon ll, and Sunfyre both survive barely suffering severe injuries, which puts them both out of commission for the duration of the war.

    Rhaenys was on a suicide mission when she saw the other dragons, she was there to do as much damage to save her house and her granddaughters, because she knew eventually they would have to fight Vhagar and Sunfyre. In the books, it was Meleys that maimed Sunfyre and Aegon, NOT Vhagar. But changes were made because the showrunners wanted Aemond to have his revenge on Aegon, for the bullying, but also for contempt he felt for his brother's incompetence as King

    Cole is disrespected because he’s low born. Everyone in the Kings-guard/white cloak is a noble high born. Cole is the only one that was elevated and no one likes it. The old Lord commander and Otto tried to stop Rhaenyra from electing him into the kings guard because of that. Cole becoming the hand was seen as scandalous. Gawain disrespects him because Cole has a higher position but Gawain is high born and holds a higher social status.

    6:44 The ingredients are Tansy, Mint, Wormwood, a spoon of honey and a drop of pennyroyal. So it’s basically an abortifacient cocktail. The maesters are canonically better than our medieval doctors at the time so I’d assume they’re good with precise timing and whatnot of when to take it. They use it like a morning after pill too which wouldn’t really work as they don’t have progestin.
