daemon didnt act without permission, she literally told them at the council she wants aemond and he acted on her instruction, we never saw his reply when they asked if they dont find aemond, just like we never saw him call his brother's son the heir for a day. it was implied them and can be implied now he never said what people accused him of but blamed him for it because of his reputation.

Otto is playing the long game whereas Aegon just wants justice NOW.

47:32 I think they showed the scenes to parallel the parenting styles. Alicent tried to confied in her father and he didn't want to hear of it and when Alicents children needed her, she acted towards them in the only way she knew. She lost her mother and Otto was not a very affectionate man, so this trait has seemingly passed down. Very great writing and acting as usual. S-Tier show for sure!

It doesn't matter if ur on Rhaenyra's side or Daemon's side because him leaving is a big issue he's easily her strongest ally and him leaving makes her vulnerable her council starts to question her and also think its a lost cause without him mind you Daemon is the only reason she even has a strong claim and men follow her its also poetic that as soon has he leaves she's literally almost killed in her chambers its to show you how vulnerable she's become also the only thing keeping her ennemies at bay is because they know she has Daemon on her side and people Fear him.

There is no “Aegon the Terrible”, the one you’re thinking of is probably “Aegon the Unworthy”. No, it’s not this one xD Though, the Dance of Dragons is one of the bloodiest wars in history. It’s safe to say neither Aegon nor Rhaenyra were remembered fondly for being responsible for it.

[@higorximenes9034]

You guys have to understand that Daemon is the personification of the Targaryen' words: Fire and Blood. He is the closest thing to a real dragon (while not being one) that exists at this point. All he wants is fire and blood and he has this by fighting his wars. Rhaenyra, as good as she is, is not experienced in ruling or waging war. She NEEDS him and now he went away. At the same time, Daemon is unpredictable to the point of killing a kid and hurting her PR. Truly great story.

[@naosou921]

He didn't leave "the team" or go away. He just went out to do the job that he was supposed to do, he just did it early. He set off to Harrenhall to intimidate them into bending the knee, which he was already going to do anyway. He was just angry and left before he was going to at first.

[@AzkuulaKtaktu]

Loving how often the phrase "fall on your own sword" came up

[@Oakland510]

18:00 MR LEE YOU UNDERSTAND!!!! I love the fact you are the only reactor this week who pointed out Daemon is a true Targaryen. His family words are FIRE AND BLOOD. He had a rocky relationship with his brother because he felt Viserys was afraid to spill fire and blood when necessary against foes but not Daemon. He has read the books of his great forefathers and did what they did with their might at their disposal; the dragons and when time comes, its the time to pay your enemies with fire and blood. I have no side in this war but i love might being on show when necessary and Daemon isnt afraid to hide behind who he truly is.

[@YaBoyRockLee]

Yessssssss

[@Alex-bz8lj]

Daeron is the third son of Alicent and Viserys he should be 15

[@KelliFranklin]

Both sides have really terrible characters and really good characters. While I'm definitely team Black Otto is the smartest on team green and he knows how to play the long game. He was 100 percent right in the conversation with Aegon and now team green is in trouble because Aegon and Criston are giving in to their impulsive behavior and not thinking rationally.

[@sproductionsinc]

I really would’ve liked to have seen Otto as Rhae’s hand, under different circumstances where he supported her reign. She seems like a ruler who would do well listening to his advice, but who’s also strong with her own decisions as well & not easily manipulated or impulsive.

[@taylahchant5789]

Otto is by far the smartest for team green, Aemond is the biggest threat to team black as is daemon to team green. I never understood why alicent and Otto were so surprised by the way Aegon was, and has acted as king. He is everything they molded and made him to be. They taught him nothing of the realm, how to be king or how to deal with ploys, tactics or speaking to the realm. He is in many ways still a child, rhaenyra was taught and molded some way how to act, speak and uphold the duties and honour of the realm. I love the part of the episode where as Otto is speaking to his grandson he can see how all his scheming, lies and depravity to get to where they are was a mistake. He saw it, I think some part of him realises that the problems that are now unfolding are his doing, Otto likes to be in control, he controls his daughter regularly and he tries with his grandchildren but doesn’t always succeed. I truly don’t believe he genuinely loves anyone, I think the only time I’ve seen Otto be nice was to helaena in season 1 at the dinner….but excited for the next episodes

[@carriesmith742]

This was the FIRST episode that I liked Otto because he FINALLY recognized his mistake by putting Aegon on the throne and now he has to live with it. 18:13 Were you not just listening when Rhaenyra screamed, "He was not afraid of you Daemon! He couldnt trust you! "? Daemon's a wildcard, but he knows the ways of war, whereass Otto is ALL strategy. Daemon knows more about the small folk, having trained up the gold cloaks. 46:14 Daeron Rargaryen wasnt in season 1 because by the time the 10 year jump hit he was serving as a squire in Old Towne.

[@annbeths]

Otto was done with their bullsh1t this episode😭

[@Raskullbx]

Helaena was making jearherys's funeral shroud before he even died, as seen in episode 1. She just didn't know why she was makin' it till it was too late. When she told Aegon, 'Not the dragons, The Rats', she looked at Jearherys's bed right after saying it. She also said, "They only want the boy" right before Aegon enters her chambers. She even gave the shroud she made for Jearherys to Alicent and said, 'This is for my boy'

[@SLIPKNOTCRAZYBoi]

When Helena walks past Aegon i beleive that its him actually showing her respect by not bothering her they both are the only ones that understand eachother at that moment, everyone that he communicated with this episode other than her was at the least being yelled at

Daemon did say he was in his way to Harrenhal to raise an army in Rhaenyra's name. Daemon has never wanted more it's just Daemon is incredibly volatile but if he believes in one thing is loyalty to his blood and loved ones. He loved Viserys, and he loves Rhaenyra, but from all Targaryens he was the one the most like a dragon.

30:41 Yes, I agree! The casting itself will forever be amazing to me. Aside from how similar they look to a majority of the viewers, young Rhaenyra and older Rhaenyra also have the same mannerisms and swagger. We only had a few glimpses of it in Season 1 but now, Rhaenyra is understandably angry and ready to take her throne - and the spit-fire princess is showing herself more clearly.

[@rowwevillerland6356]

Aegon the Unworthy is a hundred years from now I think. The new show they are doing (knight of a seven kingdoms) is some time after that aegon's reign

[@ReyHaynes]

I would say Otto was motivated to get his family on the royal line. As you can see, most of them marry within themselves, or a few houses (e.g., the Valyrions), and the Hightowers were not part of that rotation. I don't necessarily agree with how he did it, but he did it in the most peaceful way possible. Rhaenyra's mom's death and the fact that there was no male heir...was the smallest, most opportune time to make a move. Waiting for Rhaenyra's kids to marry one of the Hightower kids would be a fool's errand, especially when only the oldest matters when a line of succession is involved.

[@kk_sj3635]

Otto recommended for Rhaenyra to marry Aegon actually. Viserys refused . Then, Rhaenyra offered to marry Jace to Helaena, and Alicent refused. Otto wasn't the hand at the time but I bet you he would have agreed. If Helaena and Jace had a son, then his line was effectively next in line. Otto might be self-serving but I think he also genuinely wanted a peaceful Westeros.

[@solesofwind9543]

I think Rhaenyra should be on the throne ( and Rhenys is my fav) but I’m team Green for the chaos and fun. They are soooooooo fun to watch compared to team black

[@YaBoyRockLee]

You and I. Lol. Same mindset

[@johnwalkeristhatdude3018]

Are we forgetting about Luc and that the greens want to murder Rhaenyra and Daemons kids.

[@jjosifovic]

Ive been saying this for the longest daemon and Otto r two side of the same coin. They are upset with their kings and queens because neither listen to them, they both want to be in control, and when they not in control they both over step. The only difference between them is that they use different tools to attack their enemies. Daemon uses the blade and otto has his tongue. Anyone else notice the parallel with rhaenyra calling out daemon manipulation in this episode like how Alicent confront Otto with his manipulation in episode 9. Criston plan actually almost worked if the white worm wasn’t there I feel rhaenyra would be dead. I also feel like the writers just want to make criston n alicent look in a bad light with how they r writing these characters. Looking forward to ur future videos guys

[@gailf1617]

I think Aemond was looking for maternal solace from the brothel madam because he felt guilty about killing Luke, and the killers sent to find him killing his very young nephew instead, and he could not get any pity from his own mother (who was furious about Aemond's having killed Luke). Aemond's demeanor with the madam is totally that of a child craving comfort from his mother, not a young man wanting sexual pleasure.

Aegon the fourth was known as Aegon the unworthy . Aegon the 2nd is the king during hotd

[@rabbithaze9707]

Like, I try to keep my mind on what we see and know in the show only (even though I have read the books) but like, plenty of Kingsguard have supposedly had feelings or run-ins with members of the royal family and kept their oath. It is certainly complicated with Criston (especially early on with Rhaneyra in the first season) but I don't know how much his being a victim really allows him to get away with the things he has been doing ever since then, and it certainly doesn't make me feel any less queasy about he and Alicent's hypocrisy considering how much of their feelings about Rhaneyra boil down to her having children out of wedlock

38:30 Maybe you are thinking of Maegor I. His nicknames were “Maegor the cruel” and “the abomination on the iron throne” so…not the best king… 😅

[@shannyd1]

I actually believe Daemon and see his fiercely loyal to Rhaenyra regardless of his feelings and he definitely can be trusted. I bet show didn't show us what Daemon said to deliberately make us viewers doubt Daemon like Rhaenyra does right now, like the greens can't trust one another, when in reality i bet Daemon didn't make that order and is truly mad and hurt that he doesn't have Rhaenyra's trust 100%, same with Viserys when he believed Ottos lies & schemes over him. Criston was the one who was supposed to be on duty, protecting the King's family, can't stand him on screen.

[@carlosarcoss]

Yess she has another son DAERON !! AND he has a dragon called TESSARION THE BLUE QUEEN

[@NoShiiitSherlock]

20:28 - He's technically RIGHT! I'm no fan of Sir Cristin Cole myself, but Alicent DID come onto him and he did have to comply despite his oath because Cole felt like she saved his life. She gave him a Royal Pardon and brought him back into the Queens Guard and literally saved his life. I can understand why someone would feel an obligation to her over thier White Cloack Oath. But non of that is to say that Cole isn't a Fascist Hypocrite who chooses to project his guilt onto other people, and who fails to take accountability for how he negatively impacts other people. I'm juss sayin, I feel ya on the point you were making about Cole's seeming obligation to Alicent over his Oath (as Hypocritical as it is).

[@queenxx1690]

Criston Cole plan was good he almost got her killed she only survived by luck

[@alexass8987]

Someone should have told the show's creators that the protagonist doesn't have to be a holy hero, but they didn't. And they also forgot to tell them that a brutal clash of rich, dense images is ALWAYS preferable to a refined story about victims of circumstances. Even if in the first case all the characters are devils, scoundrels and ambiguous people who took a wrong turn. The Game of thrones has already trodden this road. Tywin, Jaime, Tyrion, Littlefinger, Stannis (our king), Dany, Theon, Euron - all are very far from the ideal personality, to put it mildly. And yet we either love them or love to hate them. But they are what make this story awesome. “House of the Dragons” needed the firm hand of a decisive showrunner who does not bend to today’s fragile audience. Alas

Kin slaying is the worst sin you can commit in Westeros i don't think this show say it enough

[@LucerysOwner]

Daeron and Tessarion in S3 🥶 let's goooo

[@mattgibney4085]

I’m completely on Daemon side, he’s never wanted the crown. Notice how he says “my brothers crown” because ever since he found out about his death he’s always truly believed he was murdered and he wants revenge for it.

[@hibye-pg4rr]

@@mattgibney4085 to get revenge for his brothers 'murder' he decides to send assassin's to kill his brothers grandson. Daemons fucking stupid

[@sproductionsinc]

He’s being way too emotional, unfortunately. He also would’ve been gone anyway during her attack even if they didn’t fight.

[@Akakaze22]

It's crazy how y'all cape for Daemon.

[@DarthKay093]

I just liked that Rhaenyra said MINE THRONE since he is still obsessed with Viserys

[@changinlooks1]

He said OUR throne when he argued with his queen. But I agree he is loyal, he’s on his way to harrenhall now

[@queenxx1690]

Otto miss Viserys because he was easy to manipulate and Aegon is not

[@decariusb71]

Oh it gets ENTIRELY WAY WORSE. Y’all about to hit the floor, especially Green supporters

[@joel0312]

Dont know if all 3 of you watched Game of Thrones? if not, go watch that after HOTD S2, Otto is the discount Tywin. HOTD is still the best show of the past 2 years. GOT is really back

[@YaBoyRockLee]

We all seen GOT

[@kimcottingham8043]

Just finished reaction seen the cole take back about victim comment, so disregard my earlier comment. Should've waited til end

[@YaBoyRockLee]

Haha. Yea. All good.

[@swervo6660]

I wanna know do y’all not remember what happened last season???? If not please go back and watch episode 7 y’all are agreeing that daemon is using her but is she not using him?? She literally begged him to marry her he was about to leave and go back to pentos in episode 7 she told she could not face the greens alone and that she needed him if anybody’s being used it’s daemon and I’m not saying she shouldn’t be mad about the kid being killed but everything she said didn’t make any sense when she’s the one that wanted his help

[@rexibhazoboa7097]

Aemond is only 15. He is not a man. If you are looking at it from a modern pov.

[@YaBoyRockLee]

Yup. Personally not looking at it from a modern view

[@johnwalkeristhatdude3018]

Again Alicent did not have to marry the king Viserys didn’t order her to seduce him the night his wife and his son died.

[@michaelpetersen467]

great points about cole my man

[@YaBoyRockLee]

[@anthonywilliams5475]

My thing is cole was about to kill himself and alicent made him stop and serve her

[@russelberaquit]

Lmao

[@cnmcnm5853]

What an interesting point-to think about how I would feel if Cole were a woman. Now I'm so confused! 😅😅 I still hate him tho.

[@remsghis]

He’s not being forced to do it though I mean the last scene of the 2nd ep proved it he was willingly doing it

[@YaBoyRockLee]

To the original comment. Thanks for understanding the point and listening haha

​@@YaBoyRockLee Thats the good thing with you guys! The nuance and different perspectives in the reaction!👍Not only black or Green... different shades of Grey

Aegon the unworthy is the 4th Aegon and he is the worst

[@MrFredstt]

Nah you're right. Otto's a G and actually very competent. People just give him so much shit for no reason really imo
