That one shot on Alicent during the council scene was so good! Olivia Cooke has such a wonderfully expressive face.

[@brettbaumler754]

The woman in red that they sent to Kings Landing was Elinda Massey, daughter of Gormon Massey who sits in Rhaenyra’s council. Elinda has been one of Rhaenyra’s ladies-in-waiting since Season 1. She’s a very loyal friend of hers and I’m happy they’re giving her a bigger role in the show

[@brahimdiop5506]

There's always a favorite child

[@MayhapsYes]

She didn't have proper control of Drogon, either. He left her for a few months for no reason. She didn't learn the proper Valyrian spells.

[@SiddarthaTB]

@@MayhapsYes The spells were used in prime Valyria. Not really Targs post doom. Bloodraven and couple other targs use magic due to first men lineage (that have children of the forest blood and old gods magic in them, ex: starks, reed) but none we have seen have used fire spells like prime valyrian mages did. We do know that there were 2 main factions in Valyria, The Dragonriders and the Mages. Martin said we will see more of the fire mages in the future so hopefully we got more lore reveals.

[@Dan_G.R.S.]

That's not necessarily true, in the books they make it clear that Viserion is a much bigger Mama's boy than Rhaegal or even Drogon. So far we don't know if she can control the other two as she just had her first flight with Drogon. Dany's bond with her dragons is unprecedented given that she literally breastfeeds them, there's still a lot we don't know

[@bloomofdaisies]

@@Dan_G.R.S.Right? I don’t know what this person is talking about. Dany is obviously bonded with all three of the dragons she just hasn’t learnt how to properly control them (which is to be expected considering how young she is and that she doesn’t have any other Targaryen family to help her)

[@scotthewitt258]

When Alfrid is talking about women not being trained in military tactics and warfare, it's really an indictment on the Westeros system. As soon as Viserys named Rhaenyra heir to the throne, she should have been started on a military education.

[@alexisspicer3797]

If only. The reason this is happening in the first place is because Viserys didn't have very good forethought

[@michaelmegson2778]

​@@alexisspicer3797 and Otto manoeuvring his family to take the throne, that was kinda an important factor too.

[@alexisspicer3797]

@michaelmegson2778 Not saying it wasn't, but like it was very obvious imo. Plus Viserys had many chances to change course and didn't. Plus bringing Otto back as hand... setting up Rhaenyra for failure

[@CoRLex-jh5vx]

I mean, Aegon barely seems to have been taught himself. Viserys seems generally lax in overseeing his kids' studies (same as how Aegon doesn't even speak Valyrian when that isn't really something he should've been able to skip out on), I wonder if it's because his own lessons were more relaxed since he was raised not expecting to be king

[@kaleomungin]

@@CoRLex-jh5vx By the time Viserys fathered Aegon and his other children with Alicent, he was too old and sick to raise them properly like he did Rhaenyra

Can't stand Baela tbh, just another girlboss character.

The second largest Dragon on this show is The Cannibal, then Vermithor, then Sheepstealer, then Silverwing, then Dreamfyre (Helaena’s), then Caraxes, then Meleys, and Syrax is next basically the same size as Meleys and almost as fast. FYI.

I had the same thought about the witch as you Aaron. And I actually interpreted the Larys dude looking at her as looking around the room wondering who he was talking to. It didn't feel like he looked AT her, but instead looked in that corner of the room, his look also didn't look of that as giving someone eye contact, but that of "huh, wtf?" Also I can't say I agree with Aaron that the people wouldn't go for Rhaenyra only because of what he said directly after. All they want is food. And had everyone done as they should have and respected her as being next in line, no war would have broke out, and so no issue for war. Your love for a ginger is blinding you Aaron

[@remyrimmm3123]

The whole point of the green claim rests on the fact that if they don’t usurp, Rhaenyra will have to kill them to secure her claim bc the realm won’t accept a woman on the throne. The show is biased to the blacks and is trying to stake the entire green claim on a misunderstanding between Viserys and Alicent.

[@ondrej_hrdina]

My interpretation of the panic attack scene: Alicent is obviously terrified of Aemond - she figures out he had to do something with Aegon's injuries. The whole time we see her champion the greens, because feels she is doing the right, moral thing. In fact, Alicent was kept around being useful, but small and not dangerous. She now realizes that she has no real voice and is surrounded by dangerous men united in their hatred for Rhaenyra and is no longer useful to them. She feels betrayed and regretful because she sacrificed her whole life to this thing and now she is irrelevant and in danger. Alicent knows Aemond is a capable sociopath. She hates what her contributions have unleashed.

[@FearZe]

[@CoRLex-jh5vx]

​@syahrulh687 his last Targ ancestor would probably be Valaena Velaryon's mother, which is likely about ~6 generations back, so 3.125% of his DNA. Honestly the book theory of Alyn & Addam being Laenor's kids make way more sense for them being able to claim dragons, cause those are RIDICULOUS odds

[@AnnaB22]

I think Damon's and Viserys' bastard brother is (1). The Smithy with the sick daughter could be (2) look at his hair, Corlys' bastard son Adam (Lenore's dragon intrigued him on the beach while he was searching for crabs), and Seasmoke needs a new rider so he would be (3). This way his Brother Alyn can be the heir of Driftmark because he has always been on the ships - Alyn is Salt and Sea. He saved Corlys from drowning. Not to mention anyone else who could be around. I think they just need to have Valeryion blood to ride a dragon.

[@aquele4virou3]

Good commentary on how Targaryen are the Targaryens. First, yes, Rhaenys had dark hair in the book. Her Baratheon mother had Valyrian blood of her own though. Jocelyn's mother was Alyssa Velaryon, who was also the mother of King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne. And Queen Rhaena, the Black Bride. There are several Targaryens who don't have silver hair. Aside from Rhaenys, there are the Velaryon boys (Rhaenys having dark hair also is a point against the rumors of bastardy, probably why the show changed her hair), Alysanne had darker blond, and Alyssa, Daemon's mom, had dirty blond. Multiple others down the line haf dark hair, including Rhaegar's daughter with Elia Martell, Rhaenys, who Tywin ordered the murder of during the Sack of King's Landing. Corlys himself has Targaryen blood most likely, considering the conquerors' mother has a Velaryon with a Targaryen mom. Aside from that, the Targaryens either marry each other or the Velaryons. Aside from Rhaenyra's mom, whose mother married an Arryn, most Targ women were married to Targ men. The other exception was a daughter of Daenys who married a petty lord. As of now, Daemon is the purest Valyrian dragonlord in existence. Simplifying genetics shenanigans, he's about 75% Targaryen-Valyrian, as his parents and grandparents were both brother/sister. Rhaenys was lower, as her mother was a Baratheon (even though Baratheons themselves have Valyrian blood, as Orys Baratheon was rumored to be a bastard brother of Aegon the conqueror). After Daemon, his kids with Rhaenyra. Alicent's kids have 37,5% Targ DNA. Rhaenyra has around 55%. Then if we go all the way down to Daenerys, she probably has under 10% at this point (after the dance, the kings marry Martell, Dayne, Blackwood, etc). But she is also the chosen one, so she's special.

[@danimoorehead]

i haven’t read the book, i’ve only seen the passage where jace and harwin are described so i don’t know for sure but don’t the velaryon boys have brown hair while rhaenys has black hair? it seems like there is no doubt at all that they are bastards. though i agree it’s hard to depict the difference between brown and black hair in live action so that’s probably why they changed it.

[@The_Orb_Ponderer]

I see a lot of similarities in the Maesters removing Aegons armour to when Samwell learnt to remove Greyscale and cured Jorah. I'd say it's possible that it used to be common practice in the time of the dragons to have to know how to remove chitinous/plate coating from bodies due to dragons being used in war. Since the dragons disappeared, this knowledge was lost to the depths of the citadel library, where Samwell later repurposed it to cure Greyscale

Sorry for my english I'm french Daenerys ONLY rides one dragon Drogo. She never rides the other two. Jon snow was half stark and half Targaryen with black air and he was able to claims and rides one of Daenerys' dragon ( I don't remenber his name but it was always the same he rides) Velaryons have old valerya blood BUT his family never was one of the old dragonrider family. The ONLY one family able to ride dragons who survives the doom was Targaryen. In the show they gave silver air easyly to help us understand who's who's at the beginning but now they are looking to Targaryen's blood outside the royal line and how much they need ?? 50%, 25% or less ?? and they won't all have silver air..... Daemon never really knew his mom who died when he was like 2/3 years old. She rides Maelys with him when Daemon was a baby. She was kind of crazy I like her 😂 So like the Greek myth Oedipe he was sexual with her but BEFORE knowing she was his mother. You can see that even as a Targaryen fine with incest he was kind of shock when he understands she was his mother......😅 Targaryen practices incest a lot, mainly to conserve their dragonrider blood but also to be the only one in power but I don't recall mother with sons so even for them there is a limit 😅😅😅 Like Jace said, some Targaryens were married to other house and they are a LOTS of bastard too. So how much blood you need to be a dragonrider???? It's a really interesting question that the Targaryens NEVER allow before because it kind of questionning the supremacy of Targaryen's magic and power!!

Meleys isn't the second largest dragon in the show btw

Surely Aegon is going to put on his father's cool golden mask and have a similar scene where he unexpectedly appears to sit the throne

I'm glad that Criston Cole and Daemon Targaryen blazed the taco-munching trail for Jon Snow generations later.

0:26 Vermithor is the second largest dragon in the show not Meleys. Also this might be wrong but supposedly Dreamfyre is larger than Meleys as well.

[@Cream-2128]

Dreamfyre, Vermithor and Cannibal are all larger

It's team black stopping the food getting into Kings landing - Aemond talks about it when he gets made regent

[@hedinsee6830]

Daenerys never controlled all three. They accepted her as a friendly because of the unique situation of their birth, but only Drogon bonded with her as a rider and only he would tolerate her as such.

[@caibra88]

Cannibal is bigger tham Vhaegar folks. Cannibal is on Dragonstone too. Unclaimed, unmountable, and forever in fury. Scales black as night with beautiful bright green eyes.

[@Cream-2128]

Cannibal is not bigger than Vhagar

[@jackson857]

3:06 Jacaela fans: Am I nothing to you? 25:16 People saying this always bothers me. They look at the hair and go, "oh they're not fully Targaryen" but Jace, Luke and Joffrey are half through Rhaenyra and Harwin and are as much Targaryen as Aegon, Aemond and Helaena who are half through Viserys and Alicent.

[@Velociraptour]

Considering how half a century is a conservative estimate for how long medieval cathedrals took to build, Daemon should have just put up tents at Harrenhal and called it a day.

[@scotthewitt258]

Alicent: Wonen can't rule! Also Alicent: Why won't you let me rule?!?!?

[@rhaenatargaryen8061]

Theres no way you genuinely think this. alicent wanted rhaenyra to rule, she said in front of everyone that she would make a fine queen. It's only when it became clear that aegon was going to be crowned by the council anyway regardless of what she did that she made up her desperate plan to crown him herself and manipulate him from behind the scenes (obviously hasnt worked). At no point did she ever say "women cant rule". Not once. Not even through implication.

[@rhaenatargaryen8061]

that shot of alicent in the council is easily the best scene in the episode. Nothing can make her a place within this order because it simply doesn't want her to have it. Criston wants her for her body, her sons want her for her labor. Im surprised it took her this long to start melting down

[@carolinesch.]

Showing the people a big dragon can be slayed and basically reminding them your own can also be slayed....dumb idea

I wonder what kind of drug Harrenhal has to put Daemon on this otherworldly high for 2 episodes 🤔🤔🤔 Anyway, great reaction Wave Crew!

[@custodiojamal5150]

I don’t blame Lady Jayne Arryn of being annoyed by the two hatchling dragons that Rhaenyra sent, I mean her House is at stake now when they are at war so her reaction is valid if you were in her place

[@Kramilin]

I think Vermithor is actually the 2nd largest Dragon. Not Meleys

[@georgesupreme1994]

thank you enemies on the field

[@Martinbumms]

This episode showed why Daemon isn't fit to be king. He thinks being a Targaryen and a Dragonrider is all you need to be a great and successful king, it's obviuosly not. He thinks he can just claim Harrenha being like "this is mine now, make it pretty again and tell the riverlords Daddy's home, lfg!". I hope that in seeing his failure he realizes that it needs more and that it isn't a mistake to trust in RHaenyra.

[@danno1375]

Was it not established that the dragons to some extent do what many real world animals do which is imprint on the first thing they see when born, so for Daenys dragons it was her. While she can only ride one the other two still imprinted on her to some extent

[@lennonmahoney7302]

Eric just forgetting about Vermithor?

[@brontsmoth671]

To be fair, I don't believe the show itself has made any mention of Vermithor being the 2nd largest dragon. But I'm pretty sure Eric read the book, so, *shrug*
