Christon Cole is a full-on trash bag, he didn't deny her request, he had to be stopped by Daemon. Christon, Larys, and Otto are the top trash bags in the show. Christon is a petty vengeful douche and completely horrible human being. Larys is like Little Finger if you removed any likability or even sympathy, and Otto is just a dirtbag obsessed with having his bloodline on the Iron Throne.

[@ambientgaming3681]

Lol I've seen you on 3 videos

[@karencowrie]

I have noticed from episode 6 and 7 the differences in mothering styles with Rhaenrya and Alicent and the emotional intelligence differences between the children. Rhaenrya genuinely comes off like she loves her children and is generally gentler with them in how she speaks and handles them. And in turn they seem more sensitive with Jace speaking about Harwin and his pain as well as going over to Laena's daughters to comfort them. Luc also says he doesn't want Driftmark because it means all these ppl he loves are dead. Both boys also defend the twins. Alicent on the other hand is toxic and narcissistic which is reflected in her children's behaviours. Aegon......well so much can be said about him but even Aemon who was sad and still seemed sensitive quickly loses that persona once he bonds with Vhagar. It was like he flipped a switch once he attained power. The contrast with him attaining Vhagar and the conversation Luc had with Corlys shows what power means to them at a young age.

[@paradox9369]

Power reveals, doesn't it? I wish we will see more of their children in the future. Alicent's seem more standoffish, while Rhae's seem so introverted and 'small'. I wonder if they're like that because they don't want to attract more attention to themselves, probably something they learned from their mother.

[@hobbesthecat6868]

Alicent is downright abusive to her kids. Learned that trait from Otto as you see how he treats his grandson.

In the book I think leanor actually dies but then again in the books we dont know truly if daemon did it and we also dont know if rhaenyra was in on it if daemon did do it.

[@PelicanMike]

I’m still confused. Did rhaenyra and daemon actually want laenor killed, or did they just plant the seeds for laenor and Qarl to plan their escape? Like did Qarl tell laenor what happened, and they planned their escape together, or was this everyone’s idea? I just don’t know if we’re meant to think laenor feels betrayed or he actually wanted it? I’d feel betrayed if he found out rhaenyra wanted him dead. Or maybe he knew this is what rhaenyra wanted.

[@jet44444]

I was so happy he wasn’t dead, like poor guy he’s so nice.

[@Reddy315]

it's also pretty cruel don't you think to corlys and rhaenys to leave them thinking that right after their daughter's funeral, their only son also "died"?

[@emergencyawesome]

That's probably a timeline thing with the way the episodes are pushing through plot quickly. They probably took longer to do that in reality.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Yeah it was messed up but Laenor obviously wanted out :) So Rhaenyra set him free so to speak, so she could be with her Uncle.

[@Freya1412]

What if they know? It's weird that Rhaenys would take the side of the blacks if she thinks her son is dead. Why would she bother with the war or take sides if she has no stakes in this game? You'd also think Corlys would be done with all this after he lost both his children. They are well aware their son is gay and feels trapped by his position. Maybe they know about his escape. But this is all my speculation. This show has surprised me many times even though I read the books🤷‍♀️

[@greenforce68]

it was their own son's wish to be free. one day, someone will return.

[@greenforce68]

@@Freya1412 yeah, she seems to believe it was Rhaenyra who killed him. on eps 8 trailer you see Rhaenys trapped her. probably about to investigate her. she'd probably tell her that he's alive somewhere. if it's not, well there's Baela & Rhaena on the black side. she'll do anything for her only grandchildren.

Do you really think that Daemon could have stopped Criston there if it had came to that. A knight in full armour that too of Kingsguard can easily fuck an unarmed man. It was not Daemon who stopped him, it was the other Kingsguard.

[@neofulcrum5013]

The children’s brutal exchange really highlights the coming conflict. Aemond losing an eye and gaining a dragon as Alicent tries to harm one of Rhaenerya’s children in return. The only silver lining is that Laenor escaped so he won’t be involved with this conflict. Hopefully.

@@bcoates87 gets claimed by a Velaryon bastard, who they say is Laenor's bastard but in the books it's more likely Corlys bastard. However that never sat right with me since Velaryon's are not dragon lords. How would Corlys bastard claim a dragon without Targaryen blood? Maybe Laenor comes back with this new bastard identity with Sea Smoke.

[@averymoreland3081]

I love that the writers gave Daemon an episode to be more vulnerable. As vulnerable as Daemon can be anyways. We saw him mourning his wife (even if it wasn’t the hysterical crying fit some people probably expected when his wife died), we saw him break down his walls with Rhaenyra and tell her the truth about when they were younger, and we saw them re-forge that bond they’ve always had! I wondered if it was gonna be weird between them after being apart for so long (and with a new actress playing Rhaenyra) but they fell right back into their routine with each other. Him standing up for her kids was just the icing on the cake for me. Sure, he didn’t verbally say anything, but when Criston tried to make a move against Rhaenyra and the boys, he was right there to stop him

[@alexandrosmironis6093]

criston wanted to stop alicent, not hurt Rhaenyra and the boys

[@peaceandloveusa6656]

@@alexandrosmironis6093 It looked like he was looking down on his approach to me. Also, the angle of the shot when they collided looked like Criston was moving around the conflict instead of towards it, on the side closest to the door Rhae had been trying to go through. This would mean he did not make a direct line for Alicent, but the escape route, which brought him to where Daemon could stop him while he standing watch of the situation unfolding beside him. I also do not see Criston stopping Alicent from harming Rhae. It would be out of character for him as someone who values honor (his duty is to protect the Queen), hates Rhae, and owes Alicent his life and re-newed honor. Now, if he could re-pay his debt to the Queen by "accidentally" harming Rhae or her children, and it could be seen as being done in line with his duty, that seems a lot more fitting. In either case, it would have been foolish or apathetic of Daemon to let a loyalist to Alicent anywhere near Rhae or her children after Alicent had ordered him to take the boy's eye.

Your Right At least there are a few smart people that watch this show

[@RobynNanae]

Daemon states in the first episode that he wants to be near to protect Viserys from his small council. The fact that he has called Otto a leech from the outset shows that Daemon understands more about the backstabbing politics than Viserys does. He understands that blood should protect blood. I think from here out we’ll see a much different side of Daemon. We got a glimpse of it in this episode. He understands that their enemies must fear them if Rhaenyra is to be successful.

Rhaenys knew too that his ambition was going to destroy the family, and now the children with Rhaenyra are not even Velaryons. One of the early casualties in this story is their family.

i like how they shot the scene with the kids arguing in front of the king as a parallel to when arya, sansa and joffrey had to be brought in front of king bobby back in GoT season 1. king bobby also didn't want to just automatically side with joffrey and was obviously on ned's side and did not want to give cersei the satisfaction while viserys was overprotective of rhaenyra and somehow could not be angry at the strong boys for stabbing aemond in the eye AND also did not give alicent the satisfaction of getting an "eye for an eye". interestingly, cersei still insisted on vengeance and got sansa's direwolf "lady" killed while alicent got to slash rhaenyra's arm just to get her way. these intentional parallels are so cool to compare side by side.

[@Advocate512]

The eye-for-an-eye request from Alison Hightower was a callback to the wolf-for-a-wolf demand of Cersei Lannister during the second episode of the original series. As was Corlys' charge "what is the meaning of this," which was the same as Eddard's was when he was brought before the king to see after his wounded daughter and the king's more wounded son.

[@anipub8330]

I also think it was a tit-for-tat moment, much like how Alicent tried to have Lord Lyonel Strong admit his son's affair with Rhaenyra and the subsequent 'bastards', Rhaenyra tried to have it vocalized that Alicent was the one who told her kids.

[@Dec4AllTimeAlways]

I thought Emma D'Arcy crushed it in this episode. Olivia Cooke crushed it in Ep 6 but Rhaenyra got Alicent really good. ”They see you for who you really are." Rhaenyra got the cut but Alicent got the emotional scar. Alicent is the self-righteous and overly religious woman who thinks she's holier-than-thou but is really sad, jealous, and resentful inside. She's trying to hide her personality from her religion but her true character is full of rage and jealousy. I think the personalities of Rhaenyra and Alicent are flawed where Rhaenyra can be irresponsible and it has ramifications for being a free spirit and reckless. While Alicent is so closed-minded thinking everyone should think and behave like her when the world doesn't work that way. This builds up negative emotions towards others. I just enjoyed watching my boy Daemon leaning against the wall and watching the fireworks happen. His twin daughters were involved in the little rascals gang fight and he's so cool about it. Didn't even discipline them. It's not like they were the ones scarred or had bloody noses. And Baela got Aemond good from her first swing. I like how Corlys stood behind Rhaenyra when she got cut. He might be an extremely prideful and ambitious man chasing legacy but he stood behind her knowing damn well Jace and Luke are NOT his biological grandsons. Mad props to House Velaryon. Baela rocks! Wait when she finally rides Moondancer. Most underrated dragon? Stormcloud. Truly heroic. Just wait when Aegon III is born. While Aegon II is someone I'm not ashamed liking. I find him to be that hilarious d*uche who only cares about getting laid. I think Aegon II is unintentionally funny like Viserys being Mr. Potato Head from every episode. Which part of Viserys body part has fallen off? No wonder Alicent is so pissed at Rhaenyra. She got to sleep with all the hot guys while Alicent got stuck with a wight. Viserys is a weekly new meme but so are Aegon II's reactions. I actually laughed when Aegon mocked how weird his sister is. Seems like Alicent has finally accepted Targaryen queer customs by having brother and sister betrothed.

Also I don't believe Vhagar is in this shot, it seems to be implied in the episode that she spends most of her time alone, especially after just losing her rider.

the Major problem with not killing Laenor at the end is that makes the secret wedding between Rhaenyra and Daemon "illegal" at best, useless at worst. They should have kept it as the books said. And then you have the Seasmoke, sensing his dragonride alive. Edit: So, after some digging, Seasmoke does not get claimed for a while, and later is rided by someone claiming to be "Laenor's bastard". I can see this as an open door for Laenor to make a sudden return into the main story and help Rhaenyra once more. Still, having said that, I think it's very cruel to make your legal parents believe their son is dead for the rest of their lives. Hell, I'm sure both of them died believing that, making Rhaenyra just as cruel and black-hearted as Alicent, the only difference is that Alicent will kill you, whether she like it or not.

I noticed something interesting in rewatching the fight between Alicent and Rhaenyra. When green first charges black, Cole does move AROUND the circle. If he were going to intercept Alicent wouldn’t he have gone straight through to her? Also the other members of the kings guard call out for Cole to “stay your hand” as if he were assumed to be a threat. My theory is he might have actually been moving towards the boys in an attempt to do something to satisfy Alicent’s justice demand. Maybe not a full ‘eye for an eye’ in literal terms, but something to make her feel like justice was served. It was only when Daemon stepped in the way that the guards were able to catch a hold of him. Now do I think Daemon did it with the thought of “I love Rhaenyra- you can’t hurt her children,” maybe- maybe not. His mind is a twisted place. (Though I do selfishly hope it was something of the sort ❤) Like I said, just an observation from a very tense scene in the episode.

I look forward to your breakdowns on Mondays with my coffee. This is one big soap opera where my head hurts thinking "this is their cousin, half brother, no sister, no husband Uncle" lol.

11:05 I swear i was waiting for Aemond to say "yip yip" to Vhagar.

This episode WAS TOO GOOD?! My brain cannot contain the excitement and how wild this episode was! Can't forget the scene with vhagar 🙌

Can't completely blame mom brain for Allicent going full Serial Mom on Rheanyras boys. She had reached her boiling point with all the embarrassment of Rheanyras shame (her STRONG boys), 10+ years of jealously for how "easy" things are for the princess and then her son being maimed by one of "Strong" boys..........she snapped.

We were meant to burn together. I love that line❤

Alicent went full psycho mother bear here and I loved Renarys getting the chance to gloat and say "now they see you as you are". Also, I know that a lot of people were grossed out by her and her uncle getting it on and then getting married, but it's no different then when Danerys and Jon Snow had relations...it's totally acceptable for them to be incestious, keeping it in the blood so to speak. I wonder if it is a dragon born thing, where they are just more attracted to those that are "of the blood" so to speak. I was rooting for Renarys getting some happiness finally after so much "politicking", she was finally able to get the man she was originally attracted to, her real husband didn't have to die, but got to get his own happy ending. I really enjoyed this episode.
