Re Thanks for the review

[@TheRumblewagon]

You did not detail how Daemon found out Lucerys was killed and in what manner. Were there other witnesses to the battle in the sky (other than Aemond)? Did Aemond go back and confess everything immediately? Why would he? If he's the only witness, he could have just pretended of having no knowledge of anything.

[@lordathenion]

That Storm's End scene was super nerve-wracking to watch. The actor who played Lucerys brilliantly portrayed his struggle to overcome his fear as a child and uphold his duty as prince-envoy for his mother. Aemond's sapphire eye reveal was also cherry on top.

[@queenb2450]

They needed more tension in episode 9 which fell flat but with this, even knowing what was going to happen, I was still shocked

HUGE props to Aemond's actor. I hate the character to pieces, but he pulled off that look of true regret at the end so convincingly I felt slightly bad for him. Like, yes, he was tormenting the kid and is a f**ing bastard for doing so, but you can tell he didn't mean for it to get quite that out of hand and there's this genuine "...What have I done?" quality to it. Very well acted.

[@darkodarko9]

i agree.. great acting.. i like to think that he didnt want to actually hurt the boy since they were razed together since childhood..and his face is showing just that.. that being said in real world no matter what kind of person you are once you kill someone it changes everything..if they are going for realism even if he turns out to be a sadistic asshole after this it would still be believable

[@01eddiekane]

hes my fave by far

[@yinsilbi]

I think the actor played a Christian monk in The Last Kingdom. A great character as well. It's one of those interesting medieval drama series to watch, now on Netflix.

[@kimberlyrobinson3992]

I don’t feel sorry for Aemond. He displayed that he’s a complete psychopath. Now, he’s not only started a war, he’s a kinslayer. I wonder that no one has brought this up more often. That should have been Alicent’s first argument last episode to her father in the Small Council. Taking Rhaenyra out would make Aegon a kinslayer, even if he didn’t do it with his own hands.

[@Sportshorts77]

@@kimberlyrobinson3992 yeah u can say this about aemond in later part but till now he has done nothing wrong it was all about dragon when they feel threatened their instinct kicked on and it's natural for him to hate this strong boy particularly😆😆😆

[@ForIsabelat90]

I liked the detail of Rhaenyra inviting Rhaena to the council table after she serves her the wine. Rhaenyra was a cupbearer too but was not given a place at the table. So I like that Rheana and Baella were part of the council and that they stood beside Jace and Luc.

[@R0niNxoxo]

That is a detail I found interesting too. I was hoping those two would ally-up.

[@yewandekoyenikan4732]

Yes, and it pleased Princess Rhaenys when she did so.

[@lelemonaye6340]

Yes! I think it served to show Princess Rhaenys Rhaenyra's heart. It was a great showcase of women helping other women as they quite literally and figuratively give each other seats at the table. Loved the fact that she was made Queen moments before that and it was one of her first actions.

[@chanellover4491]

I noticed that too.. Rhaenyra really wants to be a good queen..

[@erikagholston6610]

I liked that too. Women also belong at the table.

[@silvernight7971]

What I realized about Daemon not knowing about Aegons Prophecy, is the fact that since Viserys never told him, he never really intended for Daemon to be heir in the first place.

[@taylorwalker7417]

I agree. I think that's why he choked Rhaenyra (mostly as a stand-in for his brother), not because she was considering conceding.

[@SodaGC]

@@michaelnkomphela8231 Its not arya its Jon Snow (Aegon Targaryean VI)

[@jasonwolfe3639]

He didn't he always thought he would have a son. Damon was the heir because if a king has no male heirs the crown automatically passes to his brother. Viserys was an idiot

[@harryashton7699]

They literally say this in the episode

[@lyannamormont1473]

@@taylorwalker7417, I think it is several things. Daemon thinks prophecies are nonsense, hates them, he believes only in real dragon power. And is frustrated because Rhaenyra holds him back on his full war path, it reminds him of Viserys inaction he despised. He knows nothing about “Song of Ice and Fire” and doesn`t understand her reluctance to immediately retaliate (because he knows she is fire and dragon like himself, and she is in pain just like him). Realisation that it is all because of some crazy prophecy that his brother did not even tell him, to Daemon is irritation and reminder again that his brother constantly refused to rely on him/his opinion. And just like at battle of Stepstones when he pummeled that Viserys messenger in anger, Daemon felt this moment like another slap in his face. He snaps and lashes out. That violent choking was him screaming at her "Do not Viserys me! Listen to me! This is war and we must attack! Only dragons & action matter! Not some stupid tales!".

[@blackflagsnroses6013]

Interesting that while Aemond wasn’t going for the kill they could not truly control the Dragons. Once the Dragons felt threatened and angry their riders could not stop them from their battle instincts. Arrax defended himself and Vhagar was not having it. Just goes to shows that these are powers that should not be trifled or messed with. Valyria learned that the hard way.

[@dovelove1920]

Viserys mentioned that they couldn't control the dragons in an earlier episode.

[@fannyalexander5906]

Luke and Arrax death is really heartbreaking and brutal. They’re just so young, helpless and threatened. But this adds a whole new dynamic on Aemond’s character, adds more tragedy if I say. This finale is just so sad, Rhaenyra is passed boiling point. They’ve awakened the dragon and now she’s ready for war.

[@sumtingwong8592]

That, and visually it was pretty, intense. Seeing a dragon be chomped like that, looked like a dead lizard being discarded by a crocodile. So brutal

[@BruceWayne-eh4im]

I mean what did he think was happen? He is a teenager and has an ancient weapon of mass destruction. You can't prank a child with an actual nuke, can you? What do you think happens if Russia just flies its nukes over USA? "oh we did not fire, it was just a joke bro?"

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Yep she looked super pissed at the end :(

[@maximusprimus827]

I don’t think Aemond meant to kill Luke. Both Luke and Aemond lost control of their dragons. Rhaenyra talked about how the dragons would destroy the realm if used in war. I think she may have been right, and I think dragons may have been responsible for the doom of Valyria.

[@pearlosibu]

@@maximusprimus827 that’s a show thing. In the books Aemond fully meant to kill him.

[@SoldierSpiderx]

Aemond’s face of realization and fear after he realized what he just did and Rhaenerya’s face of pain and vengeance when she heard of her sons death were incredible parallels. The true beginning of the end for Targaryen’s and their dragons and Lucerys was soo brave. You could tell he was nervous about going. He then did his best to defend off his uncle then just gets chomped on 😢

In reality aemond probably could have gone to dragon stone, told the truth and apologized and saved a war lol

[@byhyew]

Like with Rhaenys at the dragon pit, he does not get to call the shots. He should return to kingslanding and report in what happened. However, it would likely be that he owns up to the killing because they don't want people to think the Greens can't control their dragons, that would be a major sign of illegitimacy by the lords who may or may not have declared for them.

I think the scene where Rhanerya goes into labor is supposed to parallel when Aemma told Rhanerya that women go to war when they give birth. I think once Rhanerya goes into labor that’s when the war really starts regardless if she knows or not. She was always gonna end up fighting the greens.

Didn’t see you mention this, but I was intrigued by the fact that Daemon was not aware of the Song of Ice and Fire. Rhaenyra mentions it to Daemon because it has been passed on to each heir, so she assumed her father had shared it with Daemon since at one point he was the king’s heir. Yet, it is clear Daemon had no idea about, and the king had never shared it with him… does this mean he never truly believed Daemon would be his heir? Interesting stuff

[@dianasayson2846]

They are wise women in a man's world and yet they do possess Targaryen's proneness to madness and irrational decisions.

He definitely was. Arrax, his dragon, was in a full blown panick when Luc emerged from Storm's End's keep - and the young man calmed the dragon with a few Ancient Valyrian words, and had the dragon mostly in hand. Arrax attacking Vhagar was just the risidules of panick of a young dragon facing off against a massive, ancient predator. That scene was one of the best filmed scenes I've seen in a long time.

I think Aemond's actor was also trying to convey this about Aemond at the dinner, he wasn't upset about his eye and angry, he was making a light-hearted joke with the pig and pointing out how it's all silly in retrospect, they were just kids, but it's also something silly to play a game with, to someone like Aemond it's all about playing a fun game, and this is the point where he lost control of the game.

What stood out to me: 1. Rhaenyra at the end of episode 1 and episode 10 I think was intentional. At the end of episode one we see a young girl showing trepidation, as well as a little pride and hope as she is named heir. Juxtaposed to her at the end of episode 10, now Queen who has just lost all hope for peace. Trepidation has turned to rage. You can almost see a vain popping in the middle of her forehead. 2. I think Daemon continued in the war room while she was in labor because it was a reminder of his experience with Laena. Focusing on the planning of war kept him distracted and focused on something else. 3. I think he choked Rhaenyra at first because he feels she’s going soft and he wants war. But I also think at a certain point it turns to anger and jealousy that his brother did not share the prophesy with him when he was his heir, but he shared it with his daughter.

I think the key point of the 2 boys' dragon scene was really about reflecting what Visery said in early episode, that we always think the Targaryen controls the dragons, and that's not entirely true. The episode ending was basically 2 boys playing with fire, where Lucery could not control Arrax at the end, the fire spit on Vhagar's face was totally not under Lucery's command, neither was the killing bite was under Aemond's. This is what the dance of the draons really means though or what game of thrones has always meant to represnt - it is not the people who toy with power, it's the people who think that they are toying with power, get toyed BY powers at the end. This is a masterpiece.

I think that Luke’s tutelage of high Valyrian from his mother and Daemon helped massively. Aemond was a mummas boy until he lost his eye and she had no knowledge of dragons.

You seen that in the main show when Drogon snapped at Danearys and when Raeghal and Visearion did as well in the dragon pit great connections!

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

I kind of love how it's portrayed as an accident here instead of him just being ruthless in the books. It makes the event that follow Even more tragic. It also make more sense because as tough as aemond think he is not on daemon's level yet he's still just a boy himself. He'll get there by the time he pays a visit to the riverlands.

[@slabbyfatback2272]

He never gets to Daemons level-Daemon makes sure of that. I will give him prpos for even showing up-granted it took him 13 days-I also think he thought he'd have the advantage being on the larger dragon. Either way, he's just a Daemon wanna be

[@Nigerianreaction]

@@slabbyfatback2272 I think he’s better then that piece of shit 😂😂😂 I mean he’s more noble in away and the whole series is kinda crazy they fuck each other a lot not really fun for me at all but still luv some of it

[@tiltedguy140]

Despite knowing that he intentionally wanted Lucerys dead in the books, seeing the episode made it more shocking as in the show he didn't actually wanted Lucerys dead, makes it more tragic.

[@Vera-tr9nj]

I feel that way too. Making him regret for killing Luce was an interesting change but isn’t this the second accident and miscommunication on the Green side’s part. First Alicent who usurped the throne over miscommunication and now Aemond who killed Luce because he couldn’t control his dragon. It feels like they are starting the war because a series of oopsies which again feels like they are downplaying the characters imo.

[@MoejiiOsmanTV]

@@tiltedguy140 the books are historically inaccurate while the show is telling u what actually happened, aemond didn't mean to kill his nephew it makes him a kinslayer now which he hates being called in the books

Thank you for explaining "Rhoynar" bc I was confused AF.

Great Fng work on this video. Love the in depth Lore as fillers between the scene coverage. Thanks -

Aemond looking like Draco Malfoy in the most intense Quidditch match and Luke was the opposing Seeker. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! Glad it was slightly different from the historical text and showing Aemond terrified that he screwed up big time.

The strong boys do look like Harry potter

[@aascattery6170]

Of all the scenes this entire season, it's the birthing scenes that scared me the most - both of Aemma to Baelon and Rhaenyra to Visenya. They sing songs of wars and battles when it really is the birthing bed that have claimed the most blood. Mygahd, how lucky we are to live with modern medicine.

[@mediumdoubledouble9012]

Well said explaining how the dragon bonds works. Another thing I feel they are showing is how the blood wyrm responds to Daemon opposed to vhaegar to aemond or arrax to luc. Those are two kid dragon riders. Young bonds daemon and cyrax are older and more experienced which makes the bond stronger.

[@vobgreat]

I heard a idea that the dragons have a link to the person that they are bonded to true feelings. So even though Luke was trying to act collected deep down he was scared, so his dragon acted out. And even though he tries to act like he is in control of his emotions Amond is mad and his dragon reacted to that.

Thank you HOTD for renewing my faith in TV GoT.

nice!

[@JamieBarrington]

I'm so grateful that we have such passionate showrunners (especially Ryan Condal, who is a massive fan of ASoIaF). I put my books away after GoT S8, but I pulled them right back out after HoTD started and wiped the dust away. My interest has been renewed and they are doing such a great job with this show.

[@zuaq2744]

My theory at the end is Daemon becomes the NIght King. His ambitions to become king has led him to become a "king". He will discover it through the dagger, which eventually wound up killing him when Arya got the dagger. Imagine seeing Daemon become the Night King at the end of the whole series. That would explain the Night King's strong ambition in GOT why he wanted to conquer the south.

[@HufflePuk]

The night king is a stark.

[@in_vas_por8810]

[@wilcherglobal6685]

I think Daemon had a hard time dealing with her screaming and pain during childbirth. So he went off and did other things to distract himself. But he still loves her.
