Even after Aemond kills her son she doesnt go after them she just wants Aemond.

    Blood and cheese did listen to daemon instruction, the rat catcher asks daemon what if we couldn't find aemond and we see daemon's face but not his answer, later blood says he said "a son for a son" meaning killing the young prince was the plan B if they couldn't find aemond.

      Another little familial trait but between Rhaenyra and Aegon is they both play with their marble piece. In season 1, Rhaenyra is quietly fiddling with hers during a council meeting. Aegon just outright spins and plays with his.

    I don't get why people think b and c got the instructions wrong. B was only confused with c holding Helaena at knife point bc he doesn't know who she is, but once cheese explains he's on board immediately. A son for a son. That's the answer Daemon gives when the ask what if they can't find Aemond. And that IS classic daemon. He doesn't care who, he just wants revenge, just like in the books, he promised to avenge luke for rhaenyra and got b and c to let Helaena choose which of her two sons to die bc either way they were killing a son. Even if they deviate from the books, it's understandable that Matt Smith's Daemon would go this route too. He'd want the bloodshed and mayhem that will obvi follow.

  • @Moompl
    @Moompl หลายเดือนก่อน +85

    In the books Blood&Cheese is much different.
    First off, Aemond is never mentioned to be the target, and Rhaenyra is not the one to incite the mission. Daemon sends Rhaenyra a letter from Harrenhal (in the books he is already there) that says-
    “An eye for an eye, a son for a son. Lucerys will be avenged”.
    B&C sneak into the Tower of the Hand, which is not guarded as heavily as Maegor’s Holdfast-where Aemond was-and they head for Alicent’s chambers, who was getting ready for bed (Criston and her are not a thing in the book). Helaena and her three children (Jaehaerys, Jaehaera, and Maelor, who was not present in the show version) were on the way for their nightly visit to Alicent. When they get there, they find Alicent tied to the bed and her bedmaid strangled. Blood bars the door and Cheese takes Maelor and tells Helaena to choose which son of hers will die. Helaena pleads that they kill her instead but they refuse, siting- “An eye for an eye, a son for a son. A wife is not a son.”
    Cheese tells her that if she does not choose then Blood will grape her daughter and they will kill everyone in the room. Eventually, Helaena chooses Maelor, her younger son. Maybe it was because she thought he would be too young to understand , or perhaps it was because the elder boy, Jaehaerys, was Aegon’s first born and heir. Cheese holds Maelor up and whispers to him-
    “You hear that, little one, your momma wants you dead”.
    Then, in one clean motion, Blood strikes of the older boys-Jaehaerys’s-head, and the two take off with it. When the guards finally burst through the door, they find Helaena grasping her son’s headless body to her, mad with grief.
    So yeah, Blood&Cheese is much more tame in the show.

      @ShadowPatriot12 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      You could argue Rhaenyra never incited a mission. It's a declaration of a desire for revenge, grief-stricken and (most probably exhausted from flying for days in search of proof). It is still Daemon's interpretation on his queen's behalf, and he was likely going to act on something either way. Early in the episode he was ready to storm king's landing front and center were it not for Rhaenys. The fact that Mysaria ended up within his grasp and Rhaenyra's declaration, it ends up being a believable list of ingredients to bake an assassination attempt pie.
      Maelor isn't in the show, does he have a bigger role to play down the line in the books? I'm curious as to what gets affected without his presence, much like the omission/combination of other characters kind of fucked over the original Game of Thrones run in the later seasons.

    B&C didn't mess up as badly as you think. Daemon wanted Aemond dead, but Cheese knew this might be impossible and he asked Daemon "what do we do if we can't find him". In the castle, Blood repeats multiple times that Daemon said he wanted "a son for a son" (which we don't see him say so it has to have been said after Cheese's question). The implication is clear: Plan A, kill Aemond, Plan B, make them hurt. B&C enacted Plan B

    The part of the throne scene with paying the smiths: while I agree that they should be paid and well, in business it is never wise to pay in full ahead of time for a service. It is smarter to either pay half or to pay a percent as a downpayment to allow the person to purchase supplies etc. So while it looked like Aegon did something good, it unfortunately highlighted his ignorance in business dealings. It made him look like he would easily be taken advantage of if Otto wasn't there. The Greens confuse me. They knew they were going to place Aegon on the throne. I know he was a difficult kid but come on now did they give him no training at all? He's making mistakes left and right and the kind he shouldn't be making too. I blame his mother. Maybe less scolding and more ensuring he was prepared. Afterall, Jace certainly seems like he knows what he's doing and seems well versed in diplomacy too. Why didn't the Greens at least ensure Aegon knew not to blurt out secret battle plans at court?
