It was Arryk who killed him self this isn’t the book.

[@sarwatarannya8786]

Daemon most certainly was not right. The reason why daemon wasn't named heir was only because of his own actions. Viserys never was afraid of daemon for any selfish reason, it was because he understood that daemon was a liability, which is what Rhaenyra is understanding right now. Daemon on the other hand craved his brother's acknowledgement and attention, so much so that he has convinced himself of these lies to cope now that he's dead.

[@higorximenes9034]

He was right in some of the arguments he made. Viserys most certainly did not plan to have Rhaenyra as his heir. So much so he constantly tried to have Aemma have a son, to the point she died in childbirth. After that, he did not trained Rhaenyra as heir or kept her close AND he married another woman. Either he was stupid and coward to go against the will of his council or he did not care for Rhaenyra.

[@mattgibney4085]

Daemon was right, he easily could’ve killed his brother and taken the thrown for himself if he wished. He loved his brother despite every conflict the two had. Daemon was supposed to take the thrown but when he found out about him messing with his daughter he completely went against what his council and tradition says to do.

He was most definitely right 💀 Daemon could’ve honestly killed his brother if he honest to god wanted the throne but he didn’t, and he was right lowkey about everything dude saw what was coming before it even played out fully. he just wanted his house to stay strong but Viserys was a weak king and constantly tried to have a son and ended up marrying ottos daughter even after warning from not only daemon but also his small council he ignored it all.

Rhaenyra holds her son when he cries but Alicent leaves her son and goes to Crispen... Daemon came to Rhaenyra when she arrived with Lukes body but Aegon did not talk to Heleana at the stairs... Alicent is not a good mother, maybe to her daughter. Even Aemond goes to the Madame and shares his emotions with her because his mother is not emotional available! Greetings from Germany❤

[@anoushkas8726]

Despite all her struggles, Rhaenyra has experienced true and mutual love with the fathers of her children, Harwin and Daemon and also shared a loving relationship with her parents meanwhile Alicent bore her children clenching her fists and praying to lord while she slept with Varys. She's never been loved since childhood, only used as a pawn by her father therefore She's no motherly skills.

The Duel of the Cargyll Twins is immortalized in Westerosi legend as the ultimate display of honor and duty. In the book _A Game of Thrones,_ Bran recalls the story when thinking about famous Kingsguard members and, in _A Clash of Kings,_ Sansa uses the legend to demonstrate that a man crying does not make him weak. Olenna Tyrell also has two twin guards named Erryk and Arryk after the famous kingsguard members. And yes, that means that Arryk and Erryk Cargyll have been a part of the lore of the ASoIaF/GoT universe since the very beginning.

I think the dragon flying over Addam was Seasmoke, Laenor's dragon that now is not ridden and cant be claimed since Laenor is still alive. I dont know how much the commoners would really care about the ratcatchers outside of immediate family. Seems like the story would be "a castle ratcatcher assassinated the Prince and the king hanged all the castle ratcatchers. Definitely went overboard, but one of them did kill his son." Not good PR for sure, but I dont think it is going to turn the people against him more than they turned against Rhaenyra for thinking she killed the prince.

"Good" Erryk/Arryk? There are no good or bad sides in these stories. Only casualties. It's more clear in the book that neither side is innocent but the show has taken liberties and decided to make one side more virtuous than the other. I DO like how this scene made it ambiguous as to which brother won the fight. It could very well have been the "bad" Erryk/Arryk that won but realized after his death that he was wrong and called Rhaenyra "Your Grace, forgive me." and fell on his sword to keep his oath. Or the "good" one and was so grief stricken that he couldn't bear it. We'll never know. Just like the book.

Otto and Alicent are just dumb. I guess they thought if they didn't properly prepare Aegon to rule, they could just easily control him... as if he's not gonna grow into a mind of his own and also have other people in his ears attempting to do the same... it's just a mess. If they want peace so bad, they could've just let Rhaenyra have her throne lol.

I think there’s very little way either brother would live. I would never trust the winner.

[@emptyheaded7182]

What is so hard to understand when the scene literally before Alicent walking out on her son was Otto dismissing Alicent trying to confide in her father? The way people in this fandom try and have any reason to hate on Alicent is nasty, hypocritical and misogynistic. Like tone down the bias.

Yes I agree killing a child is wrong, very wrong. But I am also on Daemons side when he said that Rhaenyra is acting like Viserys. Weak. Sometimes in life, too much kindness is also not good. Rhaenyra wants to achieve her goals without spilling blood yes I understand but does the greens think that way? They don’t care about who they kill.. They dont care about spilling blood. Like Aegon said in episode 1 that they couldve just killed rhaenyra when they had the chance. Daemon just wants his house to be strong. And he warned Viserys last season about the hightowers. This is just my opinion, yet I maybe wrong. Just look at what happened in Season 1. I feel like if Viserys Married Laena Velaryon, there would be no drama as bad as this. I also think otto knew that Viserys was talking about aegon the conqueror but wanted to play dumb and ride along with alicent being delusional. Thats why otto laughed when Aegon said that he was made king by viserys. And the dragon above Addam Velaryon I believe is seasmoke.

Great episode, great reaction ❤ I watched an HBO behind-the-scenes clip about the fight between the twins. They said that each twin had the same wounds in the same areas and it was done intentionally so that you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart even if you tried. Rip to Erryk and Arryk💔 I’m gonna miss them and their beautiful hair lol As for the ending … 🙄. I wanted to throw something at my TV. I hate Criston and Alicent together 🤮

Otto being stepped down as Hand again was good to see happen.

I just realized that when Otto leaves where his other grandson is, they will give a terrible twist to the plot (no spoiler)

How are y'all STILL watching without subtitles??!?!?!?! Its ridiculous not having them with this show. I know for a fact yall missed dialogue because of it

[@rexibhazoboa7097]

I think they watch with subtitles, its just not edited in. I think I've seen them react to dialogue before its been said, so they must've read it before hand.

[@believeume122]

Why would Daemon admit any fault? It was a mistake. 🤷‍♀️His instructions were clear. If he wanted other people dead he would have said it and also threw it into the argument. If you ask Daemon a question he doesn't lie..he throws a crazy truth in your face. Lol

[@anoushkas8726]

I think it's the thoughtlessness that annoys everyone, not his intention. At this point, Otto and Alicent are more prudent than Daemon.

While making Rhaenyra marry Laenor. He didnt marry strategically but made Rhaenyra do so. Had be married Laena - NONE of this would have happened!!!
