House of the Dragon 2x1 | "A Son for a Son" Reaction

[@dottiemathews6853]

what hit me was that shot of Daemond's eyes when Cheese asked him, "What if we can't find him?" Daemond gave him, "that look" and paused. that shot of his eyes was an important indicator that said, "you know what to do if you can't find him" thus, killing the baby Jaharheys.

[@Caraxes_RoguePrince]

Not many people noticed but rhaenyra looks right at daemon when she said she wants aemond and the actress said she was talking directly to him.

*They. Emma D’Arcy uses they/them pronouns

[@TheDream6842]

Really liked Aegon in this episode, he was one of the highlights💚

[@dottiemathews6853]

The sound effects of the cutting scene was on point. because if they went by how it was by the book, we wouldn't be able to handle it! it was brutal and horrific in the book version. that is why the directors made sure the sound effects was strong. it made us viewers visualize what we hear in the cutting and slashing of the head.

[@tuxedomask4masc]

Aint the lord commander supposed to guard everyone in the royal family? Instead hes out there giving alicent his hightower 😔😒

[@lifelong6687]

🤣🤣🤣 You got a point homie

[@sproductionsinc]

He was serving the queen.

[@tuxedomask4masc]

​@@sproductionsinche was serving beef alright

[@rowwevillerland6356]

Lol epic

[@NeedsContent]

Ser Criston whined so much about not wanting to be Raenyra's side piece, and he ended up being Alicent's side piece.

[@Haplo-san]

I see no contradiction here unless the person says "I would be never a side piece of anyone no matter what". One was pride of lover and other is business relations it seems.

[@NeedsContent]

@@Haplo-san Just ironic.

[@sproductionsinc]

@@Haplo-san He didn't even really care about Rhae which is what makes is so annoying.

[@kylemma33]

Her husband is dead, so Criston isnt her side piece, hes her main piece.

[@Hafsah_Adil]

If it's a secret, then it's a side piece, and he was mad about his honor too, not what happened to it. @kylemma33

[@luciano8157]

She said it before!!! She was afraid of the rats not the dragons.

[@Hadenjaden100]

When elaina inhaled, she finally took a breath. She wasn’t breathing when she was in the room with the men. That why she stopped and inhaled and looked around

[@myong2206]

love your reaction guys, i love that you caught details that flew over so many other reactors’ heads hahaha

[@kristymcdowell6185]

Great reaction!!! Solid first episode. So happy to be back in this world.

[@ladyms7840]

Yesa I'm so happy you guys are getting these reactions. Love hod and you're reactions are pure

[@NikoLevi.]

Helaena was knitting a veil. In the trailer she wears it to a funeral. How did i just notice that lol

[@itsthatgirl98_]

7:57 You guys saw that after saying that she is afraid of the rats she looked directly at the cradle of little Jaehaerys, she had a prophetic dream about the death of her own son. And before Aegon entered the room, Helaena said, "They just want the boy".

[@Hania2207]

Oh nice catch, I didn't understood that part when she said "they just want the boy", and that too applies to the green side who just wanted a boy to put on the throne and even Aegon who was looking for his son but ignored his daughter, he just wanted the boy too to "prepare" him to be the future king but like Helaena said "who said he wants to be king" just like before with Aegon who too didn't wanted to be. Poor Helaena 🥺

[@missrese868]

that Tchalla shirt hard!

[@NoShiiitSherlock]

Did you see 👀 when Helena was HIGHTAILING IT to that Throne Room after that AWFUL. SH*T🤢🤮 But then she stopped on a dime and Clairvoyantly saw something EVEN SCARIER!!??? 😱 And it made her run to her mothers room 👉👌 INSTEAD!?? WHAT. WAS. HAPPENING. IN. THAT. THRONE. ROOM? 👑 😳😳😳 👑

[@steve8510]

Did she try a double bluff?

[@penguin50279]

let’s be glad they didn’t go with the book version of blood and cheese 😅

[@lifelong6687]

That would have been lots of DISTURBANCE 😅

[@NeedsContent]

What's the book version?

[@camalw7742]

That one is MORE deadly and in front of other family members

[@lynnraven6101]

@@NeedsContentThere are two sons and one daughter in the book. Blood & Cheese were making Helaena choose which one of those sons they’d kill, and when she kept resisting and offering up her own life, they threatened to r*pe her daughter. She eventually named her youngest son, who doesn’t exist in the show, to die, and Cheese whispered in his ear that his mother wanted him dead, before they went ahead and killed Jaehaerys anyway. It drove Helaena mad, because not only was it immensely brutal and horrific, but younger son, Maelor, had to live knowing his mother chose him to die. Just so awful on every level T-T

[@dottiemathews6853]

@@lifelong6687 yep. to the point of HBO getting some ugly feedback on that. What they did in the book was not for visual consumption. utter horror!

[@s.w.d4010]

It drives me crazy that Vhagar has holes in her wings! That’s not how wings work. I know people will say “She is so big it doesn’t matter” ummm yes it does . Her size makes it worse. Vhagar’s wings would have to be strong and intact to support her size. Would you use a parachute with holes in it??? I don’t think so.

[@believeume122]

I hope Larys starts to plot the demise of team green.

[@talecollecting9902]

➭ i love y'all excitement true!!!

[@dottiemathews6853]

yeah? just wait till Sunday when they air Episode 2. that's going to be off the chain! the reaction videos here on KZbin is going to go off the hinges!!! TRUST AND BELEIVE!

[@camalw7742]

Great review from you both , but in the book it’s much worse what happened to Queen Helaena twins how the others that saw it happen

[@dottiemathews6853]

oh heck yeah! it was brutal in the book! Blood and Cheese was pure evil in the book. what they did in the book they could not put on TV. the sound effects of the slicing off the baby's head and chopping was horrible enough. i am surprised they didn't use blood slinging on Jahara's bed in the camera shot when Heleana scooped her up.

[@NikoLevi.]

Lol the Queen is not crazy at all.She's clairvoyant.She saw it happening,hence the "I'm afraid of the rats". But that goes for the rat snatchers and the rats/people. They watered it down lol Daemon purposefully sends Blood and Cheese to Helaena’s quarters, and after being asked to pick which child to kill, they threaten to assault her daughter. Whilst crying, she points to her youngest son Maelor, and Blood cuts his head off with one swing of a sword in front of her. Also Cole should've been Guarding the Queen and her children,instead....

[@ladyms7840]

Blood needs to die for killing the 4yr old but cheese needs to suffer forever for kicking the pooch

[@LeSage28]

I hate Daemon so much🤬

[@IlyassBendaoud-r5v]

The most dangerous man in westros you don't want to mass with him, Deamon He is the definition of evil and good sometimes, and some people are comparing him to his nephew 😂, RIP to the innocent boys🙏
