A little detail I like that wasn't mentioned, the way Viserys is holding Blackfyre while confronting Daemon, in a more regal, reverse grip, like his hand is resting on the sword, but when Daemon steps forward and the guards block his path, Viserys' grip on the sword has changed to how one would normally wield a sword, subtly showing how angry he is, and that he is willing to use his sword against Daemon should he have to.
i like how AEGON the conqueror was motivated by saving the world from the white walkers and darkness, while Jon Snow AKA AEGON Targaryen was motivated by the same.
One Eaaster egg you have missed: The tournament arena is vulva shaped, which connects these intercut battles in the arena, and in childbirth even more.
Something I noticed that you didn't mention, was that during the fight between Daemon and Ser Criston, it was the Dornishman this time that took advantage of a cocky foe while being knocked down and ended up besting him, in sharp contrast to Oberyn and the mountain in Game of Thrones. Great video, i look forward to the rest of the series!
I started watching this channel during the original GOT. That was a ride. You are just as good if not better. I’m going to look forward to these every week!
A parallel you didn’t mention was the “promise me… promise me” lines said by the king when he was speaking about the song of ice and fire prophecy. Brings back memories of the tower of joy scene when Jon was born. Not that we want to re-open the debate that Jon was the prince who was promised but …. 😂
@@Sulejmani123 poor writing saved westeros. They killed his whole story line unfortunately, I wish it would've gone as you mentioned with Jon playing a bigger role in the final fight against the night king. I personally think they should've lost the fight at winterfell
it's beautiful, how the story about danger from North was delivered from one king to another - last Targaryen king slayed by Jamie couldnt tell him that prophecy and that's why Robert, Cercei and others didnt knew that story :)
I'd like to assume the Mad King would've told his heir, Rhaegar. Which would explain the change in the prince. Wanting to learn to fight, becoming obsessed with having another child. Also, there must always be a Targeryarn on the throne echos the Starks "there must always be a Stark at Winterfell". I wonder if there's a correlation: fire could be a Targeryarn and ice could be a Stark. It would take the 2 families to protect Westeros from this Dark Winter. Wonder is GRRM will have that answer for us
The High Valyrian commands: • Presumably the form is dohaerās, with emphasis on the last syllable (yes the same verb as in valar dohaeris, but the imperative form), and (again presumably) the sense here is "be servile!" i.e. docile, as we might tell an animal "down!" • Similarly, rȳbās "listen" can also mean "obey!" • umbās means "stay!"
It's not "flawed thinking". It's flawed writing from that atrocious last season of GoT where the writers were freestyling about what they thought would happen. SMDH. This is why this series will flourish. Because it has all been written by George RR himself.
I was searching for this comment, because this is important. I'm pretty sure a Targaryen will sit on the throne when war with white walkers takes place
@@makkalakumar There will be no war with white walkers in this series... By the time we reach the war of 5 kings, the Long Night and the Battle for Dawn was the last time men fought white walkers.
@@monikerkinakin6943 there is a fire and ice prequal (official) backstory on the long night and white walkers and the wall. i do not know why they would have an official video of this leading up to this series if they were not going to include this.
While the last season of GoT left a bad taste in my mouth, it felt good to be back in Westeros. This was a great first episode setting the stage for another epic journey that can hopefully stick to the landing this time.
I recently rewatched the entire series and the final season doesn't feel as weird when binging. I think anticipation and time hurt the release of the final season, it could never live up to the hype but it's decent on a rewatch. Final episode still feels weird but specifically just the epilogue aspect after khaleesi
@@JoshuaStDenis I rewatched the series on a binge and still abhorred the final season. Still left many plotlines unused, reuined several characters and had many stupid scenes. The Battle of Winterfell was atrocious.
Im glad we got the opening seeing the Great Hall in Harrenhal. 4:05 cool detail with the older dragon keeper holding back the younger more inexperienced one. 23:33 What if the burden of this knowledge along with the paranoia led the Mad King to lose it? Would that explain why he made so much wildfire while he was king while also being obsessed with fire in general? He knew if the world did end that they would need all the help they could get since there were no more dragons.
"Promise me, promise me" Viserys to Rhaenyra also Lyanna to Ned, also Viserys saying "did you say it, heir for a day, did you say it", like Sansa confronting Petyr Baelish
i like how AEGON the conqueror was motivated by saving the world from the white walkers and darkness, while Jon Snow AKA AEGON Targaryen was motivated by the same.
Maybe Aegon’s prophecy is inscribed in High Valyrian on the blade of the dagger. Viserys griped it when telling Rhaenyra the prophecy & we’ve seen the blade itself now has a different design on it.
"Promise me, promise me" Viserys to Rhaenyra also Lyanna to Ned, also Viserys saying "did you say it, heir for a day, did you say it", like Sansa confronting Petyr Baelish
The confirmation of Aegon’s motivation(s) for conquering the Seven Kingdoms just retroactively makes the ending of GOT even worse🤣 Didn’t think that was possible. A Targaryen on the Iron Throne to unite the realm against the northern threat? Damn, would have been nice to see that. Kinda sounds like that was supposed to be Jon Snow’s whole arc lmao
One particular shot that showed a street view of syrax flying overhead looks just like a shot of drogon flying overhead before he starts torching the city
You can stay on a horse without a saddle it makes sense you could ride a dragon without one as well, although the saddle would provide extra stability. The only real problem would be if the dragon twisted or flipped in the air. Thigh strength is not going to help you much there.
Heck, even if the dragon took a quick descent, you'd just fall off as it would be going faster than you as you're not actually attached to it. Riding a horse is rather linear.
@@ddpwe5269 True true. It would depend on how wild the maneuvers were. It is possible to ride one saddleless, but it would not be the optimal recommendation.
The flaws thinking in the prophecies probably have more to do with rushed last season writing. If I had to guess George meant to follow all prophecies to a T
@@ikaro555 We know from GOT behind the scenes content that it was not GRRM's plan to have Arya kill the Night King, it was a completely improvised idea by D&D.
In the French version dark sister is translated to « noire soeur », Which phonetically is said the same way as « noirceur » that means darkness! Found that kinda cool
16:20 The sigil of House Manderly is a merman with a trident. That sigil is from House Mallister of Seagard, a vassal of House Tully in the Riverlands.
I never watched GOT, but I'm making an effort with this series. I'm glad I get a glimpse into both the GOT origins as well as yours. Thank you for the lesson!
Early life Ser Criston was born to a steward of Lord Dondarrion at Blackhaven, in the Dornish Marches.[4] In 104 AC, Criston won a melee at the tourney at Maidenpool to celebrate the ascension of King Viserys I Targaryen to the Iron Throne, drawing the attention of the royal court by knocking Dark Sister from the hands of Prince Daemon Targaryen with his morningstar. He gave the victor's laurel to the seven-year-old Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, whose favor he wore while unhorsing Daemon in the joust.
Great to see Voss talking Thrones again. Regarding Aegons vision of the long night to come, the more important detail he got correct was that a Targaryen would have to unite the realms of men to defeat the threat which exactly what happened when Jon Snow (Aegon Targaryen) united the North along with Danerys army to defeat the Night king.
You missed a few. For example, the rising shot of the tower interior, that's where The Mountain died. The Kings Chamber window shot seems like a call back to the iconic Tommen or Cersei shots in GoT. @6:11 Have a sneaking suspicion that the market location with the statue was or will be important.
My guess for the throne change. As time passed and more kings were cutting themselves, they decided to break the tradition of being "uncomfortable" rulers (because they thought highly of their "right" to rule), so they gradually filed/sanded down the edges and removed the more impeding swords surrounding the throne and that's how you get to the throne Robert sits in. I imagine The Mad King especially would have ordered people to fix the sharp edges, seeing as he was always getting cut up.
Assumed it was Robert Baratheon who had those extra swords removed. He did have the Dragon's skull moved to the basement of the Red Keep. He wanted no reminder of the Targeryarns.
Criston Cole is from the Dornish Marches in the Stormlands, and he is of Dornish decent. He isn't from Dorne itself, but he's still kinda Dornish if that makes sense...
i like how AEGON the conqueror was motivated by saving the world from the white walkers and darkness, while Jon Snow AKA AEGON Targaryen was motivated by the same.
When he laid our the dream/prophecy the 1st thought I had was that THIS explains Rheaghars obsession & willingness to set aside his wife for Lyanna Stark & allow thousands to die in a rebellion. All in order to bring about the 3rd "head of the dragon" (aka Jon) who eventually stood beside his sister in order to save the world from the White Walkers. Yes, Arya was the one who dealt the killing blow but without Jon & Dany, no one was getting close to the NK to kill him.
6:06-6:09 That’s an interesting detail. 17:51 A similar incident occurs during Oberyn Martell’s fight with the Mountain. 23:16 That’s one way to look at it.
I think when he said "a targarian must be sitting on the iron throne" he just meant leading them... which is happened, cause Jon was leading the fight against the white walkers and he is a targarian
At 17:58 we can se that the Baratheon flag has a crown on it. Isnt that an error? The Baratheon logo included the crown when Robert became king, doesnt it?
"Umbas" means "wait"... At least I think 🤣. So basically telling little Syrax to "obey us, wait/stay, liiiiiisten, go forward" but what I love are the dragon's little head shakes as if say "but I don't wanna!" 😂🤷♀️
His prophecy wasn't really flawed. Perhaps only a targaryen would take the threat seriously, and he just assumed for the whole realm to be united against the white walkers, it would have to be a monarch that would bring them together.
It also kinda makes sense that Dany would not use a saddle. Dragons have been extinct for hundreds if not thousands of years so they probably lost the designs for a dragon saddle if it is still around then it would be in the citadel
Little detail at the end of the episode, when Lord Rickon Stark is declaring for Rhaenyra, he clenches his teeth with his head slightly down. A look of resentment toward the Targaryens.
Thanks for validating me with saying Caraxas does have an unaualy long neck,hence his nickname the blood worm. I knew I wasn't tripping when watching this with my friends!

Yep, and the Baratheon hesitated before declaring his allegiance.

Congrats on your wedding!! So glad you’re back!
FYI… yoke isn’t referring to yolk…. Yoke speaks to the “bit” in the mouth of an animal that you use to steer the animal .. ie the dragons
