Believe it or not the showrunners had to tone down that last sequence compared to the books. It was more disturbing in the books. Instead of the children being asleep they're awake. The mother chooses her youngest to be killed but instead of killing the one she chooses, the "rat catchers" say to the child "You hear that, little boy? Your momma wants you dead."....one of the men then murders the child the mother wanted to save. What's more disturbing about this isn't the fact the children were awake but that the surviving child will have to go through life knowing his mother gave him up to die, and the mother has to live knowing her child knows this too. It's sickening to think about.

[@SpaceGhost1981]

I know. I wish they had actually done that because that would have really added to the moment because it makes what happens later on even more dramatic. :(

[@AkronRain69]

Emma D’Arcy was amazing in this episode and only spoke one line of dialogue: “I want Aemond Targaryen!” 👏

[@ykc6754]

You can tell she’s a true fan when she got all emotional hearing Stark theme at the beginning and seeing Winterfell ❤

[@yasmina3999]

In the children room there are 3 cribs - two for the twins and a smaller one next to the door. Helaena is probably pregnant, that's why she didn't fight or offered herself. The actress also said Helaena didn't lie because she was afraid they would check the gender and kill them all as a punishment for not listening to their commands. She tried to save her daughter and the unborn child.

[@micaeladeiacovo8057]

When you said "Look how they treat the Lannisters" great observation! The House Lannister did not have the same prestige back in the day; it was Tywin who changed that :)

luke's dragon arrax came from rhaeneyra's dragon syrax so, it was 2 mothers mourning their children.

Guys, you are awesome. I really enjoyed your reaction to this episode.

congrats daemon, you avenged Lucerys' death by killing a child in the crib

Bonjour, Neuralex welcome back to the KZbin! Very cool to see one of my favorite solo reaction channels evolve into a duo

[@senior_comrade8401]

finally some decent reaction.

[@NeuralexLive]

Others are not good??

[@senior_comrade8401]

@@NeuralexLive emotionless. total lack of appreciation. watching the show with an attitude "c'mon, show me what ya got". In some cases (the worst ones) constantly referring to the finale seasons of GoT which, admittedly failed. I'm not saying all of them are, god forbids. But a definite majority.

[@NeuralexLive]

It's crazy. I love this show so much. It's beautiful, well shot, well acted. It's everything you want from GOT. It's like the new season of the boys. People don't like it because it's political????

[@senior_comrade8401]

@@NeuralexLive no. They simply lack emotions XD

[@triinomial]

The people they're sending to the wall are not criminals they reach into a bag and pick stones and certain stones mean they get the honor of being sent to the wall to protect the realm of men from "winter".

Meleys is a pretty big dragon by all accounts. And the music is known to be a House Stark theme, it doesn't belong to Jon XD

Thank you for this...

[@tuxedomask4masc]

Hopefully no one uses this against rhaenyra, she only wanted aemond. Daemon hired those two in secret. Also, maybe if criston wasnt busy giving alicent his hightower the kid would still be alive. He's like the new lord commander one of his duties is to guard the queen (halaena) and the next heir.

[@blondymonk1535]

Imagine blaming Criston for this.

[@tuxedomask4masc]

​@@blondymonk1535 i mean, aint it his job to guard them? The royal family after becoming lord commander? I mean, the lord commander before him did it with rhaenyra at times.

[@melodymikaelson3738]

💚💚Team Green supporter here💚💚 First of all, I have to say, Phia [Helaena] did a great job. Her emotions, the way her character "works" was outstanding. Would I have liked them to have kept a few things from the book? Yes! But only because of Helaena, that she doesn't offer her necklace but her life, etc. But the way it went down fits her character in the show. She had to give up one or she would have lost both. But I have to say, those muffled screams and the noises of them sawing...this will haunt me for a long time..I really couldn't breathe, because I was also in shock. I am very empathetic and could relate to Helaena's panic attack and yes folks, a panic attack can look exactly like you saw it. In any case, I'm looking forward to the next episodes and to Aegon's revenge! My king!

[@thurstarca4995]

YEEEEES! I MISSED YOU MAN!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@gailf1617]

If Daemon had wanted Blood & Cheese not to kill Helaena's little son, he could have easily told them there would be no money for that child's head and there would only be money for Aemond's head or Aegon's head. Helaenas's other child is a daughter and Blood & Cheese would not have wanted to kill her because Daemon said "a son for a son".

[@jorgebastian5601]

She is so cool. The reactor xD

[@Redqueenjj]

I loved your reaction, please continue ❤️❤️

[@gabrielleagmusic]

Many people were disappointed with the “Blood & Cheese” sequence (the end of the episode) because in their minds it was the same as disturbing as the red wedding in the books, but to me this sequence was brutal, compared to GOT where we used to see graphic scenes they leave this one to our imagination, only the sound of the knife, the music and the terror in the face of a mother who’s also neurodivergent… disassociating herself and trying to keep her other child alive… to me this was more disturbing tbh. 😩

They built the wall after the first long night. It wasnt legend back then

[@believeume122]

"Alicent is doing her best"? Are you serious? Alicent raised her sons to be full of hate and hypocrisy. She could have stopped feuding with Rhaenyra a long time ago and betrothed their children. But she was so full of meaningless hate she kept it gojng. She knew Viserys would never ever turn against rhaenyra. And she waited for him to whisper some sh*t and twisted the words without clarification. The man had just said the day before he wasn't changing his mind on already settled successions. And now she is perfectly fine with Larys killing in their name. So please stop acting like Alicent is some saint or victim. She's always been a self righteous hypocrite.

[@cliveklg7739]

Even the Stark family is included in the drawing. I wonder if that is how Uncle Benjin was sent? And Helaena as far as we've seen, has always been right with her visions. She likely knows that as well, so she likely knows there was no changing what happens. It was her son or all of them. It just took her a moment to realize that and choose.

[@luwunya]

Omg man, youre back! Please react again to MHA or MCU!!

[@ucef9945]

Not really, Daemon ordered them to kill the baby heir as an alternative in case they don't find the primary target.

[@NeuralexLive]

Ohhhh totally missed that

[@user-np4gr2je2q]

That was never mentioned we're just supposed to take your word for it?

[@ucef9945]

@@user-np4gr2je2q When they asked him what to do if they can't find Aemond the camera cut off, later on when Helena was being held hostage, Blood said: "A son for a son he said. Well does she look like a F. son to you?" which is basically him filling the blanks for what the alternative is.

[@Chasingdreams25]

​@ucef9945 He also said son for a son when he was talking to Rhaenys about killing Aemond, not Jahearys. Why should we take your word for it?

[@ricardocastro6320]

Well no during this time the north wasn’t sending criminals to the wall. It was a chosen person from a family. And your partner is right. The threat beyond the wall was known by tie lord of the Starks and the Targaryen kings only. Aegon foresaw this this threat in a dream.
