That scene between Rhaenyra and Jace just ripped me. Remember, it was Jace who suggested that Rhaenyra send them as envoys instead of ravens. He must feel so much guilt, compounded by grief. Outstanding performances by both actors.

A lot of reactors seem to have completely missed that the rat catcher _specifically_ asked Daemon: "What if we can't find him?". Daemon gives a little smile and it cuts away. He basically told them to be Denzel. I.e "I'm leaving here with _something_ ". Also Halena is a dreamer. Viserys told us in season 1 that some Targaryans are dreamers. I.e are clairvoyant. You remember season 1 when she said: "The beast beneath the floor" then Rhaenys came up through the floor with hee dragon at the end of the episode? Her cryptic words are a huge hint as to something bad happening that episode.

[@sh0ts420]

its lowkey getting sad for me that people are needing details like that explained through dialog these days

[@Koko-gp6vn]

No daemon didn't grin his mouth didn't even move. And I bet the words he told them were " a son for a son no head no gold" they say both phrases and we didn't see daemon tell them that on screen so likely when they cut away. I seen a video and in the video they said the director or whatever mentions that blood and cheese acted on their own. Likely wanting to leave quickly ( mostly cheese)

Think we need to start paying more attention to Helena. If you go back to season one episode 6, when Alicent tells Aemond, “He will have a dragon,” then Helena says, “He’ll have to close an eye,” then in the next episode with Aemond getting his dragon, he also loses an eye. There are a couple more times where she basically predicts what will happen.

D&D changed a lot for shock value and enterteining purposes, not saying such changes couldn't be enyojable or fun to watch for some, but it is important to notice that the showrunners of House of the Dragon are trying to be more book acurate / respecful than the last seasons of GoT.

2:50 And this theme that's playing, the Starks theme is called "Goodbye Brother" references Jace losing his brother and him saying goodbye to him.

[@Cinnabon.]

So Helaena, the woman at the end who ran with her remaining child is a dragon dreamer. It’s practically having premonitions, dreams or visions of things before they happen and they can often be prophetic. We can see this when Helaena mentions a “beast beneath the boards” which was Rhaenys coming through with her dragon during Aegon’s coronation. We get another example in this episode when she mentions being afraid of the rats, which is a nod to the man (cheese) who said she was “telling true” as he is the castles rat catcher. Helaena often also struggles to get a grasp or understanding of what she has dreams about and many just believe her to be crazy because when she does speak of them they don’t make much sense, as you saw in the episode. When Daemon is also meeting with Blood and Cheese (the two men who offed Helaena’s son) he mentions that they might have an issue with confronting Aemond due to him being a good warrior and then they ask what if they can’t find him before it cuts to another scene. It’s assumed by a lot of people that after they asked that Daemon replied with a son for a son and just settled for getting one of the king’s children in turn. In the books instead of the necklace, Helaena offers herself instead but I like the differences they have in the show. Anyways, Helaena along with her children are probably the only innocent people on team Green that really didn’t deserve anything that happened to them. Her story is a tragic one for real. 😭

[@gailf1617]

I hated that they didn't show the only time that Helaena showed courage, when (in the book) she offered her own life if Blood & Cheese would spare her child(ren). I think that makes more sense than her offering of a necklace.

[@Cinnabon.]

@@gailf1617 I do agree a bit for that part! when I was mentioning that scene and the differences in the show I was mostly using it as an umbrella term for other scenes that they changed. Sorry if I confused anyone with that 😭 I’m not good at putting thoughts into words sometimes

Yeah... I don't think Helaena was thinking about how her son was probably gonna die in the future and making a play, I think she was just scared that they'd kill both the kids if she didn't hurry up, and just picked one out of impulse...

[@happilyevernever4289]

​@Playradise it's not that Helaena didn't want her boy to be king, but she was afraid for him and didn't like how Aegon was trynna raise him. It doesn't mean she premeditated her own son's murder. She literally chose to tell the truth coz that way they could get away and Helaena could atleast have saved her daughter and herself from further harm. That's one of the biggest reasons why Helaena would be tormented by the role she played in her son's demise. It wasn't coz she didn't want him to be king but coz she thought she had no other choice and opted to survive with her daughter instead. Otherwise, all three could've possibly been killed if they got pissed off by a different answer.

[@niraxlevi9930]

​@Playradise you're slow 😂 not wanting him to be a king = choosing him to die ? That's dumb of you but honestly it makes since you think this way since they changed the scene ,the original scene in the book ,she offered herself and begged and begged and even chose the youngest, not him ,she doesn't want any of her children to die

[@rodriguezjavier6726]

[@crystalk98]

[@MrTREEHUNTER22]

In the books the Blood and Cheese was far worse. Blood and Cheese had a more elaborate plan where they held Alicent hostage and waited for Helaena to visit with the children. They forced Helaena to choose who to kill, Aegon’s first son Jaehaerys or his second son Maelor. Helaena chose to save Jaehaerys because he was the heir (being more valuable) and hoped that Maelor was too young to understand what was going on. So Blood and Cheese told Maelor that his mother wanted him dead and killed Jaehaerys instead. Maelor was old enough to understand and remember what happened and Helaena became distraught over her son’s death and her guilt for choosing to kill her surviving son.

[@hali_55]

Helaena (the Queen/Aegon’s wife) didn’t save the daughter to protect her from the crown. She pointed out the boy because Cheese said if she didn’t point him out they would kill both children. It was either lose her son or lose both her children, an almost impossible choice.

[@gee2541]

They completely misunderstood what Helaena did……she didn’t “sacrifice” Jaehaerys because “she didn’t want him to be king.” They were gonna find out who the boy was anyway (they threatened to undress the kids) so they would have known if she lied and possibly all of them would have been killed. Helaena assumed they would think she was bluffing (like Blood did) but Cheese knew she was telling the truth. But she never wanted the son to die because she didn’t want him to be king. That’s a huge reach of a conclusion honestly 😭

im not sure if anyone has commented this but in the novel: Aegon & Halaena already had 3 children by this point; the 7 year old twins Jahaerys and Jahaera, and 2 year old Maelor. when Blood and Cheese arrived in her chambers, they told her to choose either of the sons to kill as she "had a debt to pay". she was very reluctant and told them to take her life instead but eventually chose Maelor because perhaps he was still little and wouldn't remember a thing. they then told him "you hear that boy? your mother wants you dead" before beheading Jahaerys in his stead. it's crazy how HBO didn't stick 100% to the source material but still managed to capture how dark and grim the circumstance was. unfortunately they diluted it with goof grandma and superbad's sex scene :/

In fact we saw her last season jump from much smaller things and react too visions.

15:26 not sure if yall were talking about Daemon or Rhaenyra murdering but Aemond is Rhaenyra's half brother not nephew

[@MrTREEHUNTER22]

Aemond is both nephew and brother to Rhaenyra because Viserys is also his father and Daemon is Viserys’s brother. She’s his aunt by marriage.

Roshi saying Lisan Al Gaib during that emotional scene caught me so off guard, bro had me dying 😂

@9:27 So am I the only one that saw the caption for the Dragon that said "Let's F them up!"? 🤣

[@gabrielcedeno9517]

Roshi, if you wanna know how easy it is for another ship to board yours, play sea of thieves with friends. You will soon find out at night, during storms or fog, literal boats can sneak up on you as well.

[@sgt.krakatoa1093]

16:10 I think a lot of it is also Jace was the one that suggested for Him and his brother to personally go as messengers for the Great Houses. (Jace would blame himself for his brother’s death.)

[@flamingbow10]

The way I interpreted the last scene was Haelena pointed out the son because she assumed they'd think she gave it up too easy like one of them did.

[@emilcioran7444]

I just started reading the books and what's cool is that at this point in time cregan stark just had to handle his uncle for trying to usurp the throne of the north. That's why cregan speaks with such honor and responsibility.

Yes Roshi, don't stop your boat and they'll just follow you until you run out of food and water if they don't just throw fire arrows and burn your boat down 😅

[@vadalia3860]

In the books this was slightly different because they made the mom choose between her two sons (there was an extra toddler boy who doesn't seem to exist in the TV version) but I'm wondering if they changed it to make succession a more interesting question within the Green faction. The succession question in the Dance is essentially- does the king's word decide who his heir is or is it decided by precedent from previous choices that have been made when there was a question of succession? If the king's word decides, Aegon is a usurper but if Aegon's saying he's the rightful heir due to precedent... then he has to pass over his daughter and make his brother Aemond his heir, since the precedent they're following places a king's brothers above his daughters. So by giving him only a daughter left instead of her & the other son, now Aegon's got to make a choice to choose his daughter (undermining the strength of his own claim against Rhaenyra) or pass her over for his brother.

[@Fairenough642]

Well at the start they (the greens and the kingdoms) went with the female heir over the kings brother, its not tell the king had a son that people changed ship over too the son. I think they just changed this too have this part be very different cause son for a son would work with either. In the books blood and cheese made her choose just too mess with her I guess and they killed the one she didn't choose so she would have to live with the son she knew she choose too die. Kinda not as good as in the books plus the walking in on sex part seemed a bit of bad timing in what was meant to be tense.

The ending is brutal for a parent like me. Many book purists are complaining "that wasn't in the book, etc..." the scene made it clear (and the sound)..it served it's purpose. 🇵🇭

[@withxoutxlife]

A bunch of whiners they are. Never satisfied, even if it were a one to one recreation, they would still find things to nitpick. The scene was visceral enough as it was done.

[@happilyevernever4289]

Naww. You can't really make it exactly book accurate because that would be traumatizing to the child actors. (Like yeah I'd leave the icky child grape threat and the snuff scene out of the screens too) But I atleast expected the psychological aspect of B&C's cruelty to be shown more. Like it could've been way more suspenseful this way. They could've kept the children awake, afraid and rooted to the spot when Helaena chooses her infant baby boy instead to save the twins. Since in her mind it makes sense since she has more connection with the older kids and she thinks the baby would suffer less compared to older ones who are old enough to remember and understand. But then B&C would show yet another one of their cruel tricks by killing the older twin boy. While Helaena now has to live with the guilt of her elder son's murder and with the guilt that her surviving son would grow up to know she chose to have him dead. That alone would've made Helaena's character much more engaging and tragic, plus there would be a natural progression of why Helaena goes mad with grief and offs herself later on. Like the mental torture is triple-fold with this scenario than what we got on-screen. Also, Christon and Alicent banging in the end, while Alicent reacts so half-heartedly after hearing the bad news from her daughter just ruins the scene for me. I couldn't help but snort.😂😂 Also they could've had the maid go tell the others about her suspicions but by the time they got to Helaena, it was already too late or something. So many things could've been done to make this scene more chilling and scary without actually traumatizing the child actors.
