Syrax screaming when Rhaenyra found Luc's remains was not only her feeling Rhaenyra's pain but an expression of her own pain as she was mother of Luc's dragon Arrax. Two mothers mourning together. After Blood and Cheese, rat catchers in the Red Keep were replaced with cats. That's why Arya had so many cats to catch when training with Syrio Forel.

[@helifanodobezanozi7689]

Good reaction. No one questioned the killers because one of them works there as the rat catcher. He is literally part of the Red Keep's staff. The dog is part of the cover, as IRL dogs, especially terriers, were/ are used in this role. I'm pretty sure your pup Lemon would be great at it!

[@justdan9264]

In the book, Aegon and Helaena had actually three children. Two sons and one daughter. Cheese threatened Helaena that he'll sexually assault her daughter if she does not choose, so she chooses the youngest one, Maelor, hoping he's too young to understand. But they kill Jahaerys instead. So, ever since, Maelor has to live with the fact that his mother chose him to die over his brother.

[@dandyloona]

If she doesn't pick then everyone dies. And to think the kids are awake during that scene is horrific

[@cobra8888]

Keep in mind those info were written a century ago and so after the facts. So this show shows us what really happened.

[@patrickrobie1592]

yes and they got a hold of the 2 sons ..... it would down completely different in the books...

[@getass3290]

@@cobra8888It doesn’t really show us what really happened. It’s the directors reimagining of the book. Which is fine btw but it’s not the same exact story. There are differences in the show and the book just like in GOT. Anyways I’m sure the retelling of the incident came from the stories of Helaena herself so it’s not completely unreliable.

[@RC_Gaming_306]

*“You hear that little boy”* Cheese whispered to Maelor *“Your mama wants you dead”*

[@spacewalker2948]

5:43 Heleana has so called dragon dreams. Deanys "the dreamer" had this dreams years before the downfall of Valyria. Thats why the Targaryans went to Dragonstone in the first place and so they survived the outbreak of the 14 flames. Heleana had this dreams also with Aemonds eye and the dragon under the dragonpit

[@davidjones272]

The reason why they weren't stopped is because Cheese had been working as a Rat Catcher in the Red Keep for years. He knew the various secret passages in the castle better than anybody else, so he was able to both get them into the castle and get them to the Royal Apartments using them. There were several reasons why it was so quiet and empty: It was the middle of the night, Cheese had already bypassed most of the guards using the secret passages, Larys had killed some of the servants when rooting out spies, the Kings Guard was only at half capacity (3 of them are with the blacks, 1 in the cells) and Cole was with Alicent.

[@jamien368]

Daemon disobeyed rhaenyra and ordered thecdeath of a child, ehen cheese asked "what uf we can't find him?" Daemon smirked, that's where he told them "a son for a son", jaehaerys was the plan B. By this act, Rhaenyra clsim was weakened and Aegon Now will declare war and will seek vengeance , Hell will let lose.

[@tanmaydeshpande6524]

they brought the dog because rat catchers use dogs for finding rats and so to keep up appearances so they don't get stopped by anyone

[@Maxisamo1]

I actually love that Aegon isn't just "Joffrey again" but genuinely wants to be seen as a cool guy whom people like Poor guy just wants to feel loved (and this likely explains his earlier stints with housemaids and not knowing about consent...) In other words, Alicent and Viserys were not good parents

[@daniellylima5568]

A lot of people who read the Book Fire and Blood don't like what they did with Cheese and Blood because they changed things. I'm going to give my opinion on the whole episode, so I liked the episode but I expected more from the episode, about the blood and cheese I thought it was cool but it could be much better. I'm going to talk now about what really happened in the Book Fire and Blood. Blood and Cheese is one of the darkest moments of the civil war between the Targaryens,known as the Dance of the Dragons. After receiving information about Luke's death at the hands of Aemond, the Black Council met at Dragonstone and received a raven from Prince Daemon, who at that time was in Harrenhal. "An eye for an eye, a son for a son," wrote Prince Daemon."Lucerys will be avenged." Thus begins one of the bloodiest chapters of Dance. "Let it not be forgotten: in his youth, Daemon Targaryen was the Prince of the City, his face and his laughs were familiar to all the pickpockets, whores and gamblers of Flea Bottom. The prince still had friends in the lowest reaches of King's Landing and followers among the gold cloaks. Unbeknownst to King Aegon, the Hand, or the Dowager Queen, he also had allies at court, even on the green council... And another intermediary, a special friend whom he trusted completely, who knew the taverns and rat pits that festered in the shadows of the Red Keep, as Daemon himself had known, and moved with ease in the shadows of the city. He sought out this pale stranger then, by secret means, to enact terrible revenge." Her intermediary, as it turns out later, was (Mysaria) and she is the one who recruits Blood and Cheese, in King's Landing. Blood is described as brutish and deadly, and he had been a sergeant among the Gold Cloaks (City Guard), but was permanently dismissed for beating a prostitute to death during a drunken binge. Cheese, in turn, was the rat exterminator of the Red Keep and therefore knew all the entrances and exits of the Castle and he is the one who takes Blood to the interior of the castle,without them being seen by anyone. “Cheese knew the Red Fortress better than the shape of his own dick,” says Cogumelo. The hidden doors and secret tunnels Maegor the Cruel had constructed were as familiar to the exterminator as they were to the rats he hunted. Using a forgotten passage, Cheese took Blood to the heart of the castle, without being seen by any guards. Some say that the prey was the king himself, but Aegon was accompanied by the Kingsguard wherever he went, and not even Cheese knew of an entrance or exit from Maegor's Fortress other than the drawbridge that passed over the dry moat and its formidable iron spikes. The Tower of the Hand was less dry. The two men climbed the walls, avoiding the spearmen stationed at the tower doors. Ser Otto's quarters were of no interest to them. They went directly to his daughter's quarters, one floor below. Queen Alicent had come to live there after the death of King Viserys, when her son Aegon moved to Maegor's Keep with his queen. After they entered, Cheese tied and gagged the widowed queen while Blood strangled her chambermaid. Then they sat down to wait, as they knew that it was Queen Helaena's custom to take her children to see their grandmother every night before they went to sleep. Oblivious to the danger, the queen appeared as dusk spread across the castle, accompanied by her three children. Jaehaerys and Jaehaera were six years old and Maelor was two. When they entered the chambers, Helaena was holding his little hand and calling her mother's name. Blood blocked the door and killed the queen's guards while Cheese appeared to get Maelor. -If they scream, everyone will die - Sangue warned His Grace. Queen Helaena kept her cool, they say. -Who are you? -he asked the two. -Debt collectors -said Cheese. -An eye for an eye, a son for a son. We just want one to settle the score. We will not harm rest of you, not by a hair's breadth. What does Your Grace want? lose? When she understood what he meant, Queen Helaena pleaded for men to kill her in the place of one of her children. -A wife is not a son, said Blood. -It has to be one boy. Cheese warned the queen to choose quickly, before Blood was left I'm tired of the little girl. -Choose - he said -, otherwise we will kill everyone. On her knees, crying, Helaena chose the youngest, Maelor. Perhaps she had thought the boy was too young to understand,or perhaps it was because the oldest boy, Jaehaerys, was the firstborn and heir of King Aegon, next in line of succession to the Iron Throne. -Are you listening, little boy? -Cheese whispered to Maelor. -Your mom wants you dead. He gave Blood a smile, and the hulking swordsman killed Prince Jaehaerys, taking the boy's head off with a single blow. The queen began to scream. Strangely enough, the rat exterminator and the butcher were true to their word. They did no harm to Queen Helaena or her surviving children, but they fled with the prince's head in their hands. A scream sounded, but Queijo knew the secret passages that the guards did not, and the killers fled. Two days later, Blood was captured at the Gate of the Gods trying to leave King's Landing with Prince Jaehaerys' head in one of his saddlebags. Under torture, he confessed that he was taking the head to Harrenhal, to collect his reward from Prince Daemon. He too gave a description of the prostitute he claimed had hired them: an older woman, foreign in her accent, with a cape and hood, very pale.The other prostitutes called her Myseria. After thirteen days of torment, Blood was finally able to die. Queen Alicent ordered Larys Clubfoot to learn his name so he could bathe in the blood of his wife and children, but our sources do not say whether this happened. Ser Luthor Largent and his golden cloaks searched the Street of Silk from top to bottom and investigated and stripped every prostitute in King's Landing, but found no sign of either Cheese or White Worm. In his grief and fury, King Aegon Il ordered all of the city's rat exterminators to be captured and hanged, and this was done. (Ser Otto Hightower took a hundred cats to the Red Keep to take their place.) Although Blood and Cheese spared her life, Queen Helaena didn't exactly survive the fateful twilight. Afterwards, she did not want to eat, bathe or leave her chambers, and could not bear to look at her son Maelor, knowing that she had chosen him to die. The king had no recourse other than to take the boy from her and give him to the their mother, the Dowager Queen Alicent, to be raised as her own. Aegon and his wife began to sleep separately, and Queen Helaena sank deeper and deeper into madness, while the king raged, drank and raged." So I hate all the green people because they are all bad, the only person in the family who is good is Helaena, the rest are all rotten, poor people, he lost his son so she goes after his mother to ask for help and she ends up taking the mother having sex with her lover, what a horrible thing, I feel very sorry for Helena, she does suffer in this green family, but Aegon, Aemond, Alicent do not suffer,they are suffering, they are suffering and because the series wants to portray them as poor things, Helaena does not have love from no one in her family, they all mistreat her, Because Helena doesn't like Alicent or her brothers, you can tell by just watching all her scenes with her family, she never lets Alicent touch her.

I had the same question about why it was so easy for the killers to get all the way to the kid's bedroom. Is Criston going to face consequences for the failure of the Kingsguard to protect the royal family? Otto gave Criston and Alicent a side look when they showed up to the meeting like he knew about them.

Criston shouldn't face any consequences. It's the writers' fault that Blood & Cheese got away with it so easily, not his.

Ancient valyrians practicing magic Daenys dream of the fall The fall of Valyria Aegon and his sisters flying over Westeros Harren the black Conquest of Harrenhal and the Field of Fire The North, The Riverlands and The Eyrie bending the knee without a fight House Targaryen established as the Rulers of Westeros The construction of the Red Keep The death of Maegor the Cruel King Jahaerys the Conciliator and Queen Alysanne Old King Jahaerys at the Great Council of Harrenhal (Viserys I nomination to the Iron Throrne) The court of Viserys I split between Alicent and Rhaenyra Aegon II vs Rhaenyra I Lucerys death.

[@daniellylima5568]

3:17 I thought it was bad that Jace came home straight away, I wanted to see more scenes of Jace in the north. The books have several moments of Jace in the north, but apparently the writers chose not to include them, it's a real shame. 3:33 Rhaenys' Scene with Daemon Eva best who plays the character Rhaenys I talk about her scene with Daemon. "When we did that in the reading and it seemed like a kind of trump card, like whoever has more power" (...) so, what he throws at her in that scene entirely reflects him and his own vulnerability and a desperate need to blame someone" "Understanding that thing about being an outsider. Those who have been mistreated, those who haven't gotten the position they were raised in or deserve, I feel like there's a deep understanding that Rhaenyra resonates with a lot." As Rhaenyra was absent for days, it was probably the daemon who received Alicent's letters. I imagine he burned all of Alicent's letters. (I would do the same thing) I'm sure he did this the first moment he read it "Friend, how are you? How are you?🥰 I'm sorry for your son😰🤧 You know how it is, accidents happen🤷‍♀️ but move forward and lift your head so the crown (a princess's, not a Queen's) doesn't fall off, right lol I miss you already." (bro when Alicent speaks The fact that I sent the letters made me angry because, bro, it's only the scriptwriters who can do this shit, I hope Daemon burned all the fake letters. 10:15 I wanted to talk about Rhaenyra in the book in relation to how Lucerys' death happened. How sad Vhagar must have been, the dragon who ended her boy's life. Riding Visenya,a woman she clearly admired and then her beloved Laena. Rhaenyra clearly admired the conqueror. She wore her hair normally tied in a long braid, like her ancestor and even named her daughter after her, who unfortunately did not survive. Besides, in the book the relationship between Laena and Rhaenyra was different.They flew together,visited each other and she was with Laena in her final moments.They promised their children: Jace to Baela and Luke to Rhaena, when the boys were four and three and the girls two. How sad it must have been to think that the dragon that once belonged to a woman she so admired and was inspired by and then to such a dear friend was the very one who killed her son. 14:14 Daemon was Anxious throughout the episode, lashing out at everyone he talked to because he was worried about Rhaenyra. He probably hadn't slept for days, not knowing if she was safe. Then she came back and he did his best to comfort her. (The funny thing is that Dameon was mad at everyone and blamed everyone, but when Rhaenyra arrived he was calm with her presence) They [Daemon and Rhaenyra] have a connection that no one else on the show shares, they are almost the same person, in different bodies. Sarah Hess. Matt Smith: “[Blood&Cheese] It's love, grief and vengeance. Daemon feels it's impossible not to exact that feeling of revenge when it's in him... [Jaehaerys' death] isn't his mistake ultimately, but he does put it in motion.” 15:04 Jace's scene with Rhaenyra was very beautiful. Jace placing the crown in front of the mourning is Rhaenyra putting the pain aside to comfort. He trying to hold back to say what he managed and clinging to her afterwards. This scene is important to show that Rhaenyra raised her children in a very loving way. On the other hand, we have a mother (Alicent) who is extremely negligent and neglectful and on the other, Nyra is simply being loving towards all of her children. Seriously, they put the scene of Alicent lighting the candle for Lucerys, seriously, scriptwriters, this woman doesn't care about Rhaenyra's children, she calls hers bastards and tried to take a child's eye out and then put this ridiculous scene of hers, She called the jace and luke from savages... said he would rather die than let Helaena marry jace... spent 10 years questioning the legitimacy of the Children and putting a target on their and Rhaenyra's foreheads... but yes he does everything I felt the parallel of the wake with Alicent's fake, They are forcing too much, Alicent clearly never liked Rhaenyra's children but is called empathetic for lighting a candle at Lucerys' death... however, Rhaenyra who never had anything against Is Helaena called fake for showing empathy towards another innocent mother? Sometimes it's difficult to understand people, but she's the victim, folks.. she started the war by accident.. she sent Larys to kill Mysaria's informants by accident.. she spent 10 years preparing Aegon to be king by accident. .she questioned the legitimacy of luke/ep8 without meaning to.. she is just the victim of the patriarchy, incredible how everything they do the producers want to make accidental. "Ah, they didn't want to usurp the throne", "Aemond didn't want to kill the boy", damn what a bummer. 15:12 They didn't have Lucerys' body for the funeral so to represent him throughout his life, Jace wore his newborn clothes, Joffrey his toy as a child, Rhaenyra her clothes as an adult.

[@highlander31527]

Daemon: Ruthlessly stomps on anyone who gets in his brother's way. Kills anyone who causes any sort of problem to his brother's rule. Hears his brother's words, and supports his niece's rule, and does exactly what she wants. His niece wants to rule. Daemon stomps anyone that opposes her. "I want Aemond Targareyan!" Daemon gives her the blood of those closest to Aemond. "OMG, Daemon just wants to take over and sideline the women!" I knew Daemon never wanted to rule from episode one. He just wants to be the guy who neutralizes any threat to his family. For those halfwits getting angry, "Family" refers to all relatives. Not just the ones you make.

If you watch this episode again, you can see in the background the rat catchers in a lot of scenes, going on doing their things while, example, when the council was going on. They pretty much have a free pass everywhere, without anyone asking questions. That's why they had to look like rat catchers, by having the dogs and setting traps.

One change from the book is Blood and Cheese commit the deed in Allicents room they knew she moved to the Hands Tower after Aegons coronation and knew Heleana brought her sons to see Allicent every night also Hands tower was less protected than the tower with the kings chambers.

Could he really of said no to a actual queen or princess???

[@Radonatorr]

Not to mention the punishment for a Kingsguard breaking the vows of chastity is castration and death. If word would got out that he slept with the princess that would be a certain death too. And if he refused the princess' advances he had every reason to expect a similar punishent. We all watched GoT, we all know what happens when you get on the wrong side of a Westerosi noble, and that goes double for Targaryens. Cole was litteraly placed in an impossible situation, where every choice ends badly for him. Because of Rhaenyra's whims, for which she risked no consequences, he risked life and his dick getting chopped in an increadibly painful way and the threat grew larger the longer their affair lasted.

16:38 You get it. So many people don't understand the lengths Daemon will go to protect and avenge slights against Rhaenyra and his family. He warned Corlys in season one about talking bad about Viserys. Vaemond decided to yap and and Daemon cut his head off. Daemon went and sang to Vermithor, largely regarded as the most savage dragon to ever exist, just to get him accustomed to humans again and maybe accept a new rider. The man was trying to get Rhaenys and Meleys to go with him to kill Vhagar, the largest and oldest living dragon in the world. Rhaenyra wants blood for her son, Daemon asks her if she wants enough to bathe in.

Great episode

[@beselbic]

Daemon sure knows how to pick them. What bloody amateurs. They just let Helaena run off while they commit their horrific crime. They only succeeded at their task through dumb luck. They just stumbled across Haleana, and had Cole not been blowing out Alicent's back, he would have been on duty watching Haleana and the children. And their other stroke of luck is that Haelaena is different and doesn't really behave like a normal person would. A normal person would have screamed out as soon as she got away from Blood and Cheese, and the guards would have stopped them before they escaped from the castle. Also, had they actually found Aemond, he would have made quick work of them. He's the best swordsman King's Landing. Not Daemon's best moment.

A very good episode was a bit disappointed with the blood and cheese stuff mainly because of the showrunners and actors hyping it up to be the next red wedding moment but I understand why they tone it down and change some things the main annoying scene for me was Helena going to alicent and seeing her and criston Cole banging which felt a bit out of place I would have changed it a bit to had criston Cole outside of alicent room guarding the door and as Helena see him he says "are you okay your grace" and he see the distress look in her eyes and go and check in her bedchamber and then have Helena go to alicent and hug her saying the boy is killed and end the episode with alicent shocked reaction without saying a word like how the episode ends. Really enjoyed the scene of rhaenyra finding luke clock despite the dismount from her dragon looks a bit rough in terms of cgi and the later scene of her at the war council and saying I want aemond and filmed very similarly to the end of season 1 and another later scene of jace given the report and breaking down into tears. 😔

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

Preach! I, too, murdered a child last knight. But it's his parents's fault for letting him be outside all alone at that hour of the night. (I didn't, it's a metaphor you crazies 😅)

[@Sold1er_Boy]

​@@happyslapsgiving5421Your example is dumb, Aemond didn't want to kill him he was just trying to scare him and for good reason because that kid was a bully he needed to be taught a lesson like all bullies should. Aemond isn't at fault if that kid wasn't a bully to Aemond his death would have been avoided but he was and like always your actions have consequences.

[@mackmitchell94]

⁠@@Sold1er_BoyAemond deserved to get his eye cut out, little shit got a dragon and then became the biggest asshole, he instigated that entire fight and then was throughly punished for the way he acted . You can't blatantly disrespect the recently passed loved one of grieving family members and think it's completely impossible you just might get your ass kicked. Aemond is responsible for Lukes death, he may not have wanted to kill him but he still did. It was because of his actions that instigated that entire circumstance. If Aemond didn't go after Lucerys with a fucking dragon, Luke would still be alive .

I will sayy Alicent like trying to rationalize the she took my son's eye and etc was all very backwards like fam. You stole her throne, killed her son whatt

[@AstaraBrightwing]

Wrongs must be redressed, no matter the cost. Luke was never punished for taking Aemond's eye. If he must be killed, so be it. That is justice. Injustice cannot be allowed to exist, and anyone who stands in the way of justice must be likewise punished. Also, they didn't steal Rhaenyra's throne. Aegon is the rightful heir. As the firstborn son, his claim overrules Rhaenyra's the moment he is born. If Viserys still wanted Rhaenyra as heir, he would need to officially reaffirm her by royal decree and have all the lords reaffirm their oaths. He never did this, so legally, Aegon is heir. Even if that weren't the case, Rhaenyra forfeited her claim by pretending her bastards were legitimate. Trying to place an illegitimate child into the line of succession is high treason, and the punishment for treason is death or exile and the relinquishment of your lands and titles. Viserys let her get away with it, but it's still law.

Otto more than anybody. He got this ball rolling by trying to steal Queen Rhaenyra throne. Alicent is to blame also. She could have failed her fathers command to seduce the king and non of this would have happened. She also turned her kids against Rhaenyras kids at a young age

Alicent is the same hypocrite as Crispy.

[@Jaycee52548]

In defense of Criston by the way, which admittedly is often hard to do lol, but Rhaenyra was his princess and he was bound by oath to do as she commanded… thus meaning she kind of r***** him… which also means he was liable to being gelded and tortured due to breaking his oath of chasity and especially with the heir… so I can see why he hates her so much. I wish the show in season 1 would’ve explained that better instead of just making him out to be a jealous ex, to be honest, because that’s what is so great about the book is that it is so genuinely hard to pick a side. Like I’m Team Green for the most part in the book, but Team Black in the show. People really aren’t understanding this I see lol Rhaenyra is the best character in the show, but I can acknowledge that she used her position of power to get what she wanted. If that was a male who did that, everyone would be up-in-arms and disgusted (example: almost any male character in the show who likes to fuck, and Harvey Weinstein).

[@adrianpeart]

He was bound to her as protector not her sex slave, he had a choice & chose to brake his oath and have sex with her. If he refused her advances what would she have done? Tell the king tshe wants him killed because he wouldn't brake the Kings-guard oath and have sex with her?

[@killmonger5097]

Worst take ever Rhaenyra r worded cole are you serious ?

Amazing, every word of what you just said was wrong

[@ulquiorracifer5493]
