[@HubCityHero12]

Blood and Cheese asked Daemon "what do we do if we can't find Aemond?", and Daemon just smiled before they revealed his answer. It's implied that he said if they couldnt get their primary target, then they take Aegons heir, so they get a "son for a son". They didn't screw up the orders, they just had to resort to Plan B.

[@MugShotzReacts]

Ahhh! Diabolical Daemon… I don’t think it was smart…

[@julesb1970]

Also, this was Daemons plan, yes Raynera said she wanted Aemond but she certainly didn't order for this, Deamon did this on his own and in turn has screwed Raynera because the Greens are going to assume she ordered this and now things have just got from bad to worse as Aegon is going to be in a rampage now!​@@MugShotzReacts

[@derrisreaditbefore]

What a lovely surprise! Hi Stefani, lovely to meet you Mesel. There are a lot of comments about 'in the book' and what everyone missed mentioning is that the book Fire & Blood is written to be a combination of source documents from others - in MOST cases, there aren't only multiple sources, but sources that contradict each other. We the readers and they the GoT batch of characters, only know for sure what the provable events are. In this episode, all we know for certain is that after Luke was killed over The Gullet by Aemond and Vhagar, two people, a guard and a ratcatcher (only ever remembered in history by the names Blood and Cheese) infiltrated the Red Keep and killed Prince Jaehaerys. Everything else is speculation. GRRM is VERY much a part of the show writing process - as every alteration of the lore must go through him. He's said in multiple interviews that the reason there's no definitive series of events in Fire & Blood is that HE doesn't really know how an event came to pass, only that 'something' triggered an action that led to a moment he needed in history. There's loads more to unpack in the episode - and I'm sure when you edited, you spotted some of them. The couple of glimpses of Cheese in the background earlier in the episode - pointing out how freely he could move around the castle. The fact that Aegon has no trouble at all with the Iron Throne cutting him, even being comfortable enough to sprawl drunkenly on it. Alicent's strangely repetitive scrubbing in the bath, is she just anxious, or does she feel unable to get clean? Aegon attempting to do a better job of teaching his son something of ruling. Rhaenys being unafraid of defying Daemon, but Mysaria flinching when he even approaches. Emma D'Arcy rocked my world in this episode, just four words and yet she conveyed a torrent of emotion. She brought me to tears twice. Here's to the rest of the season being as well done!

[@MugShotzReacts]

Very well said!! Yes, and the actors in this show are SO phenomenal!!

[@havok6280]

Two things can be true. Rhaenyra wants revenge but taking out Aemond removes Vhagar from the Green cause.

Oh wow, didn't expect this at all, and it's definitely a pleasant surprise!

[@juls3417]

In the books Blood&Cheese is much different. First off, Aemond is never mentioned to be the target, and Rhaenyra is not the one to incite the mission. Daemon sends Rhaenyra a letter from Harrenhal (in the books he is already there) that says- “An eye for an eye, a son for a son. Lucerys will be avenged”. B&C sneak into the Tower of the Hand, which is not guarded as heavily as Maegor’s Holdfast-where Aemond was-and they head for Alicent’s chambers, who was getting ready for bed (Criston and her are not a thing in the book). Helaena and her three children (Jaehaerys, Jaehaera, and Maelor, who was not present in the show version) were on the way for their nightly visit to Alicent. When they get there, they find Alicent tied to the bed and her bedmaid strangled. Blood bars the door and Cheese takes Maelor and tells Helaena to choose which son of hers will die. Helaena pleads that they kill her instead but they refuse, siting- “An eye for an eye, a son for a son. A wife is not a son.” Cheese tells her that if she does not choose then Blood will grape her daughter and they will kill everyone in the room. Eventually, Helaena chooses Maelor, her younger son. Maybe it was because she thought he would be too young to understand , or perhaps it was because the elder boy, Jaehaerys, was Aegon’s first born and heir. Cheese holds Maelor up and whispers to him- “You hear that, little one, your momma wants you dead”. Then, in one clean motion, Blood strikes of the older boys-Jaehaerys’s-head, and the two take off with it. When the guards finally burst through the door, they find Helaena grasping her son’s headless body to her, mad with grief. So yeah, Blood&Cheese is much more tame in the show.

[@MugShotzReacts]

Definitely more tame! Still awful though 😖

In the books, it's even worse. Helaena is forced to choose which of her children she wants to have killed.

Lady Arryn wasn’t asking for a dragon to keep for the Vale, she was asking for someone with their dragon to come keep the Vale safe from dragon attacks. During Aegon’s conquest one of Aegon’s sister wives flew to The Vale and landed in the Eryie bringing the Vale into the fold without bloodshed. To avoid the Vale being undefended they want a dragon to protect it, not to keep cause the Targaryens wouldn’t accept that

That was really fun guys. Have either of you read "Fire and Blood?" They were supposed to kill Aemond, but he's a man. It was different in the books. In the books they went to the Tower of the Hand where Allicent moved after Vyseres died. Helena took the kids to visit her mother every night. Blood and Cheese broke into Allicent's rooms, killed her maid and waited for Helena. When she came in they made her choose between Jaheares and Maelor her younger son. She chose Maelor so they killed Jaeheres. The Episode is called A Son for a Son.

Scorpions existed before Game Of Thrones. One shot down Aegon The Conqueror’s sister wife Rhaenys in Dorne. I always thought of it as Qyburn knew they existed from his time at The Citadel and went looking beneath The Red Keep for them. Then made more. Vhagar is a female dragon by the way. Alerie Florenz is Alicent’s mother. Also - Alyn is a Welsh name in the real world 😊 my cousin is named Alyn haha

[@kidgforce1]

Aemond is indeed a good strategic target. If he is dead, you could reclaim his big dragon, which will weaken the greens significantly. The son for a son plan B makes no real sense, has no strategic value and creates more rage. If someone should be punished, it is Aemond, who killed Luceris. If you can´t find him instantly, find out where he will be tomorrow and try it another day.

[@MugShotzReacts]

Okay first off Daemon wanted to take out the guy who killed his step son first 10 mins of this show then his wife comes back then tells everyone I want him basically bring me his fracking head so Daemon goes to Kings Landing which is risky and dangerous for him to just do what he wife and queen asked of him he hires Blood and Cheese to kill the target bring me his head he tells the guys I want a son for a son they even asked ya what if we can't find him they caught away from that leaving you guess but being Daemon odds are he told them get me his head you get paid I want a son for a son so they go into the red Keep and can't find there target want to get paid and being idiots think hey we bring him the head of the King son the next heir to the throne he will pay us its even better. Sadly I think the Blacks will not be happy with Blood and Cheese the book writes that Daemon ordered this yet we seen he didn't do that yet its okay Son for a Son its war and the Greens deserve what ever happens to them period. When I think of the usurpers in GOT and House of Dragons how many kids died um lets just say Robert and Ned gang killed Dani whole blood line including Ella and her little kids so lets not forget usurpers are pure evil as hell and in war usurpers if they lose there whole blood line could be wiped out something to consider if you ever decide to over throw a government ! Anyway the Black Queen who we all side with has lost a daughter to still birth yes is was a girl and then a son to a dragon as a messenger no offense anything the Blacks do is acceptable it reminds me of people okay with Arya when she killed the whole house of Frey for her brother and mother death its okay people clapped but Dani burns down Kings landing killing the city that betrayed her whole family we call her mad seriously that's what happen Arya hero and Dani mad lol I know a killer when I see ya yeah because Arya you actually became one faster then Dani did when ya think about it !

Alicent and Cole don't bang in the book. Heck, he doesn't even sleep with Rhaenrya. He is guilty of many things but breaking his vow of celibacy isn't one of them.

[@MugShotzReacts]

But these books were meant to be written from unreliable narrators aren’t they?

[@havok6280]

@@MugShotzReactstrue but usually they paint Alicent in the most negative light. For example, the book says she gave handjobs to old king Jahaerys and lost her virginity to Daemon. So if she was sleeping with Cole, they likely would have said so. The show runners have consistently tried to make the Greens look bad. That’s why so many fans are team Black. But as the war goes on, both sides will commit atrocities. No one wins when dragons go to war.

@@MugShotzReacts It was supposed to have been written by a Maester decades after the events took place, based on narratives provided by a Maester, a Septon, and "Mushroom" a dwarf/fool who generally provided the most lurid and crazy scenarios. The fact that 3/4 of those providing the "history" were from the Citadel and the Faith of the Seven (both headquartered in Oldtown), it's reasonable to speculate that their versions tended to favor the Hightower side of the story, as both organizations were heavily influenced by, if not in thrall to, the Hightowers.

Regarding Daemon's hair. You did miss one white haired character in this episode...to be fair...

Team Green?

Honestly they are both unlikable and likable for different reasons, theres definitely no clear good guys!!

[@havok6280]

You can't marry into royalty. That's why it was so egregious when Cersei took the throne. Daemon is the consort to Rhaenrya.

[@SpitFir3Tornado]

He would still have the title King (Consort), although there is no precedent for this in this world so, shrug

[@havok6280]

@@SpitFir3Tornadotrue but there is a huge difference between king and king consort. Look at Prince Albert in our world. Also note he is still called Prince Daemon not king Daemon.

They just seemed to be hinting at them a little, but of course you’re correct! Unless nobody lives who after they see them at this point? 🫣

@@MugShotzReacts Sam was the first to survive meeting a White Walker. Or maybe Craster? He must have to make the contract about his sons somehow.

i've not watched it your reaction yet, but why will this reaction be a one off?

I don't plan on doing a bunch of reactions without the girls! We are hoping Lindsay can heal and we can get back on track with GOT and whatever comes next!

oh how they can't read this... how do you manage to hide every time they get something right? The thing about Jon is not Ned's son in season 1 hahahaha I see you suffering more than them. Are you sure they haven't seen him behind your back?
