House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 3 Breakdown and Explained | Daemon the dreamer

[@justinperrone3885]

Gray the way I immediately thought of you when I saw Daemon next to that Weirwood Tree. I literally screamed “Grayyyyyyy is gonna make a vid on this!!!”. This episode shocked me to the core. The way I am so happy Rhaenyra got her clarity. Ugh this episode was everything.

[@LaffingTreeLady]

[@MoonStone_Empress]

I was hoping for that moment so hard when Rhaenyra opened that letter. And Daemon. I think I only inhaled during that whole thing because I was steady gasping.

Rhaenyra finally getting that confirmation that Viserys did NOT name Aegon is heir is such a good feeling. What an amazing episode!

[@brooke5258]

I breathed with relief when it finally came out. Rhaenyra needed to know her father believed in her to the end. Unfortunately, war was already started on a lie.

I love the irony between Daemon and Rhaenyra. At the end of season one he chokes her out and says, "Dreams didn't make us kings, dragons did." And now he's having dreams of his own.

[@reluctantfangirl1621]

They aren't dragon dreams. They are the magic of Harrenhall or Alys.

[@grichkatayou7558]

how is it ironic ? Dragons made them Kings, Viserys was wrong to think otherwise... even to defeat the treat Aegon saw in the North, they need dragons... they didnt get elected to rule Westeros... they burned thousands

[@g_wylde]

@@grichkatayou7558 I don't think Viserys ever thought otherwise. Obviously dragons are what gives them power. But Viserys, much like (apparently) Aegon I, did put faith in prophetic dreams to guide their actions, no less because it was only thanks to Daenys' dreams that they even survived the Doom of Valyria. The Irony is that Daemon was at first completely dismissive about Aegon's Dream being important (hence the comment that it's only the dragons that matter), but now he's having magical dreams of his own and will finally have to understand how overpowering they can be.

[@grichkatayou7558]

@@g_wylde Aegon put his faith in dragons... they litteraly represent his house. he knew he would need them FOR THE DREAM... Viserys didnt think that much of dragons... if he did he would have know turmoil within the ruling family is the last thing to tolerate ... IT IS THE REASON HIS GRAND FATHER HAD THE COUNCIL TO CHOOSE THE HEIR... because conflict for the throne within the family equals dragon v dragon... hence risking the most important weapon needed for the dream... all this is pretty obvious, it is why Viserys was the worst Targaryen ruler, in the way a targaryen ruler is supposed to be...

[@Nonshin540]

@@grichkatayou7558 ​ @grichkatayou7558 Dragons allowed them to take the throne but it took more than that to keep the throne. Say what you will but Viserys didn't have a dragon (because it died) and still managed to keep the peace throughout the realms. I think it's ironic because Daemon didn't believe in dreams and now he's having his own. It may not be in the way his kin is having dreams (I think Alys Rivers is messing with him) but he's still having dreams. Which in return will make him rethink his stance on the subject all together.

I really enjoyed the discussion between Rhaenyra and Alicent. It felt good for both the characters. Rhaenyra gets confirmation that her father held fast her as the heir and believed she (or her line) would be responsible for defending the living in the war against the dead. And Alicent realizes she royally messed up and now the idiots she’s surrounded herself with have gone too far to be turned back now

[@michelesilva9491]

You know Alicent feels hella stupid when she realizes Viserys wasn’t telling her to put her Aegon on the throne but was talking about the song of ice and fire, a “story” he shared with Rhaenyra, not her. lol, I loved the look on her face.

[@kylasbibi]

Rhaenyra is the better Queen because she was taught to be the Queen the same way Jace is being taught to someday be king. Love how Rhaenyra trusted the future of House Targaryen with Raina. I see the scene with Alicent and Rhaenyra a little differently. I think Alicient always had the seed of doubt that She may have heard Viserys wrong and made a mistake. I think her meeting with Rhaenyra confirmed she heard Viserys wrong. That’s why she said there was nothing she could do about it now. When Rhaenyra told her exactly what Viserys said, she knew she had f%cked up but refused to try and do anything because 1) she always wanted her son on the throne and 2)She is still jealous of Rhaenyra from all those years ago. So to me that makes Alicient the worse because she knows she is wrong but her own ambitions and jealousy keep her from acknowledging she made a mistake which I think she knew all along Aegon the Idiot was not the chosen heir. Also, it confirmed what Alicient always knew. Viserys loved Rhaenyra more than he loved her children. He knew her children were Strongs, but didn’t care because they were Rhaenyra’s.

I thought Alicent was trolling Rhaenyra when she swore on her mother, because in Season 1, Rhaenyra swore on her mother about not sleeping with Daemon to Alicent and it was a lie. Or rather, a half-truth. Also, I had a lump in my throat for the entire Rhaenys-Corlys scene. Jeez. Great episode.

[@Deltadivaix]

No it wasn't a lie. He Daemon felt her up and kissed her, but they did not have sex.

[@AmosArthurMensah]

Then I say you didn't watch the episode well. Did you?? Its not even a half truth that Rhaenera slept with Daemon. Its the funking truth. Tell us where Rhaenera and Daemon had sex???? Yes they kissed and a bit of romance but they didn't sleep together. But we can tell from the episode that Rhaenera slept with Sir Cole. Kindly learn the truth well b4 you become like Allicent

[@Deltadivaix]

@user-yn5vm4uq7b like I said in my response to the above commenter Ashley ofnaath. Rhaenyra did not lie. She did not sleep with Daemon. Yes, she obviously slept with Christian Cole. There is No confusion there. But when she swore on her mother it was about Damon not Cole.

[@Δ-Δ-Δ-Δ]

​@@AmosArthurMensahWhy the f*ck are you so pressed?

[@g_wylde]

​@@Deltadivaix Ok, but iirc it was basically obfuscation. Like Rhaenyra swears she didn't have sex (with Daemon) but did have sex (with Criston), while Alicent it worried about Rhae doing something irresponsible that could ruin her, i.e. have premarital sex with anyone, much less her uncle or a sworn kingsguard... Also I'm pretty sure Rhae swears on her mother that Daemon didn't even touch her, which was objectively a lie. So yes, Rhae did swear on a lie (the touching and kissing with Daemon, even if not sex) and she also lied in terms of the spirit of the question (no she didn't have sex with Daemon, but she did have sex with someone else she shouldn't, so it's practically the same problem).

I think she is like Bran in that she sees all the what ifs. Just like Bran said "You're good man Theon" I think she said this because there really wasn't anything Alicent could have done. Cole was the one at fault.

[@HighFantasyChannel]

It almost felt like a threat to her tbh like “I forgive you…” *Dreamfyre eyes*👀

[@theimaginationcafe8474]

What if, Helaena saying "I forgive you" to Alicent, refers to Alicent becoming aware of the truth of Viserys lasts words. That Alicent will reveal this truth to Helena, at some point in the future. If Alicent had not mistaken Viserys words and act upon them as she did, Jaeherys could still live. Had Alicent known what the Viserys meant, maybe she would have told the small counsil that her Aegon is not the one to rule. She could have done all in her power to see Rahenyra on the throne instead, despite the intrigues by Otto and the small counsil. Yet, she ended up telling the small counsul what they needed to hear, and the events that unfolded came to be. Aegon was immeditly to be crowned, and the houses, lords and commoners were to bend the knee to him. Thus, Aemond was sent to Storm's end, encountered Luce, and the killing of the latter came to pass. This led to Blood and Cheese taking Jaehaerys life, as Daemon had his wild temperement unleashed and uncontrolled in the wake of Luce's death. And so, Alicent can now see the error she made when Viserys died, and that led to the misery that is to come. Rhaenys speak to Rhaenyra about what started the war. In time it will be unclear she states. But Alicent has yet to see the greater grief that her mistake 100% enabled. And so, she could be really sorry when some of the future events occur. Just a thought that came by with what was given in this episode.

[@cindym5896]

I agree with this analysis. It seems like a Blanket 'i forgive u for everything that happened, and all the senseless killing n destruction hereafter'.. n maybe her mother Alicent causes her Death later aswell.. if you could break it down later for us, from the books .. dat would be so awesum!🎉 @@theimaginationcafe8474

[@aranielleb7718]

The last clip of baela searching for Crispon you can see how they caught the same angle as they did with Luke when he died. Almost as if they wanted the audience think another dragon was going to come in and murk her

[@melissak8419]

Well, I think Rhaenyra finally has confirmation that she can't stop war. Alicent isn't giving up Kings Landing so easily. Alicent swore on her mother, a dig at Rhaenyra back in season one when Alicent asked if she slept with Daemon, which she didn't but nearly would have if Daemon hadn't walked off in the brothel, then went back and had some Sir Criston. Wish Baela would have Dracarys'ed Ser Criston Cole. Lady Rhaena and Lady Baela being set up to beloved, and Lady Rhaena is more important than she knows at the moment. Also, Aegon needs to understand that Aemond has the biggest Dragon, and even though he is on Aegon's side, he might not hesitate to take his brother out if he had the chance to do so surreptitiously. . . .

[@Darkness-ie2yl]

a repeated theme in both shows is this unwillingness to pull the trigger like you mentioned with baela. and if only the person had listened to the violent advisor like olenna or daemon, all the misery could have been avoided

Oh I'm so happy I could scream! No more rewinding 5 times hoping I'll catch something else I may have missed. It gives hair color, family, battle....EVERYTHING YOU CAN SEE, YOU CAN NOW HEAR!!! I love it when my tablet has a mind of its own and shows me something I never would have found on my own! You're 🙏 welcome !❤

Goddess, you are killin it with these recaps! 🤩 Thank you!!

[@blurpledragon2779]

❤❤❤ I love creepy Harrenhall and the Weirwood and the dream 😱. Can not wait to see your video on Harrenhall. 😊

[@latj16x]

blood raven story is so interesting to

[@karenvonclezie4678]

I'm just so relieved that the truth of who is the real ruler came out - I love that Alicent is mortified

[@rashelleobey7626]

Obsessed with this Weirwood theory and the Daemon-Bloodraven theory 😍😍 can't wait for future videos!

[@latj16x]

Daemon Story Is Interesting

[@SouthpawLD]

Because he is the Night King.. figured it out yet?

[@Detix-rory]

​​​@@SouthpawLD Daemon arc ends with his fight with Aemond in God's Eye, the largest lake of the Seven Kingdoms, while the night king is beyond the Wall in Winterfell. The only way Daemon could become the night king is if the show creator moves Demon’s fight with Aemond to the Wall instead of God's Eye; otherwise, it's not possible for Daemon to become the night king.

[@SouthpawLD]

@@Detix-rory So why is it hard to believe in a series where a girl walks out of fire with three dragons? If he is recovered by the children of the forest THEN WHAT? They never said his body was recovered.

[@Detix-rory]

@@SouthpawLD You said Daemon will become the night king, which means his body most get transported to the wall; otherwise, it's impossible for him to become the night king. How about I say Viserys Targaryen will get resurrected and transported to the wall and become the night king because that's how you sound. If you have a theory, the least you can do is explain it in a logical way, even if magic is involved.

[@SouthpawLD]

@@Detix-rory who knows the details.. were all just speculating.. unless YOU know for sure?? 😏 There are twists in this story that only critical thinking will reveal.. like Laryce being a Greenseeer.. thay kinda fucks up any idea you had if you didn’t know! Let’s see after the battle if he’s recovered by sailing ship heading north. I’m gonna come back to this post JUST for you! 🫵🏾 Because i told you so! 💯

Gray said "Simon Says" and I just burst out laughing

[@GrayArea]

Jackie!!! LMAO 😂

[@allthingstoi3117]

What is cool is that Melissandra is alive during this time.

[@Factboy12]

9:54 Daemon's Souls. Daemon's walk through Harrenhal is exactly how I would imagine a next-gen Dark Souls title would look like. I'm already dreaming about a PlayStation 6 BluePoint remake of Dark Souls 1.

[@K124B]

[@crystalrogers76]

[@TheCloverQueenDQ]

Yes best part was the 2 women talking, my Father told you about ice & fire. The look of oh sh*t priceless on Allcents face, she was the key to all that unfolds.

[@virgopsych2168]

I couldn't wait to see what you were going to say about tonight's episode!!!

[@northpole8318]

I think sea smoke will go to the younger black dude with dreads. The newest one who’s been introduced. The way he watched the dragon in the sky an episode or 2 ago, I think they’re setting something up ..I thought so then, I really do now that smoke is lonely

[@FernandoStarkTargaryen]

That episode had me screaming at my tv of excitement 😂 Loved all your thoughts Queen 🫶🏻🖤♥️

[@pexxmusicc]

The “wanting to throw the remote at the TV” made me subscribe to your channel 😂 cause i felt the same way 😂

[@Plantbasedgirl90]

How awesome was this? They are just building layers, each episode is bigger than the previous. I loved this. Agreed, how beautiful Rhaeneys and Corlis are together. They would be the king and queen of prom.

[@MaryseBarbie]

Loved the scene with Rhaenyra and Alicent!! Ive rewatched it like 5 times!! Also, didn’t know that witch was a strong girl!! Lyonel strong got babies everywhere!!!! Must’ve been a really Prince Charming!

[@71invictus]

You are the best! Keep up the great work!

[@yasisoufi]

Guuuurrrrrl ! Miss you so much! ❤ You’re back with the juice and watching your videos are experiences of their own! 😍😂 and your humor is priceless! “Why these Targarians don’t go to their dragons and ask them Watz’up?! “ 🤣👍🏼 Pure gold! 💖

[@centurynotes1677]

Did you catch that the hanged man that the crow was feasting on was actually Cheese!? 🧀😅 They caught him! 😂😂😂
