First of all Daemon never had ED. The first time his mind was focused on him becoming heir to the throne, and with Rhaenyra he just didn't wanna go through with taking her virginity. Just because I can't perform 1 time doesn't mean I have ED ffs there's a million explanations you clown.

I'm so used to binging I hate waiting, my immersion in the story drops right off. With new seasons game of thrones I used to wait until all episodes are out to watch them, but here I can't wait. But I guess the time skips in the story as well as in real life make it a little more immersive.

[@TymeTraveling777]

I think everyone cried when Daemon helped Viserys up the steps to the throne

Having the pomel of his sword come into the frame first was a good touch. It's recognizable but you don't have a chance to put it all together until Viserys sees him.

“He can keep his tongue.” That 3 minute scene was deeper and more enjoyable than the two entire final seasons of GoT. Anyone else notice how the older Aegon and Aemon actors look the opposite of their younger versions?

[@gl0soli099]

Yes!.. Re. Aegon an Aemon.... how did that happen!? They clearly look like the opposite younger one, why did nobody point this out while casting.!?

[@jontayvious]

Bro I got emotional seeing Visery on deaths door, but still wanting to be with his family and make things right. Reminded me of my dad when he was going through a sickness afew years ago, thankfully, he got better.

[@leftofyou]

I think they should have had the actors for Aegon and Aemon switched, either as kids or adults, without the eyepatch it would be hard to tell.

[@TeamDaemon1980]

*Three* *Overlooked* *Scenes* When Daemon discovered Syrax laid 3 eggs. Have you ever seen Daemon so excited and smiling so big before? One of the eggs will hatch and become Morning, Rhaena's dragon. The moment Daemon discovered about the maester conspiracy. He smelled the cup filled with milk of the poppy. Understand that this is only the 3rd time Daemon has returned to King's Landing after *20* years. He returned when he seduced Rhaenyra and then when he invited himself to her wedding. The milk of the poppy is basically like morphine to keep Viserys sedated but he can no longer think straight which puts the Hightowers making decisions on the throne. Viserys had a hard time recognizing Daemon and Rhaenyra on their arrival. Daemon calls out Alicent on this. Then Rhaenyra asked Alicent who will be the one who will give judgement to Lucerys' inheritance? Alicent said that would be her and her father. Viserys showing up was important as this saves Lucerys' claim for Driftmark. Alicent no longer had authority over it. The scene with Mysaria. This is the one I didn't understand at first because I didn't know that was Alicent's servant girl, Talya, who gave the moon tea for Dyana (Aegon's rape victim). When you see someone wear a hoodie, you obviously think of Daemon or maybe Aemond. But it's Talya. I thought this would be the scene to poison Viserys but it wasn't. Viserys sorta died on his own. But this scene is important because it means Mysaria has a spy in the Red Keep. *Book Spoilers* Mysaria plays a role with Blood and Cheese and is a major ally to Rhaenyra during the war. So big, Rhaenyra let's Daemon sleep with Mysaria every night.

[@JustAnotherZubat]

The throne room scene is incredible

[@JoannC830]

The tongue 👅

[@sarl2121]

The two twin guards reminded me of the strapping twins who were the personal guards of Queen of Thorns. Who she memorably called "Left and Right".

[@chuumeh1253]

Paddy was incredible in this episode. He made you believe it. Second was Deamon cutting that head in half😲

[@Liafram]

Thanks in part to the beautiful music, Viserys' entrance and walk to the throne was incredibly touching -- my favourite scene of the show so far. Paddy did such a remarkable job. As someone who has no knowledge of what is to come... I'm dreading whatever happens next.

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

I watch several channels to get different review perspectives for this show. This channel is easily the best. No gimmicks, goofy sidekicks, or unwarranted foul language. Just a good, thoughtful, coherent essay every time, with deep insight and reasoned analysis. Well done once again, Mr. Peppers!

[@juliemiller3502]

I think by far that Rhaenyra is the better mother and parent than Alicent is. I think that Aemond has always been Alicent's favorite son whereby she is always super critical of Aegon II and rightfully so. He is a horrible person. Viserys entrance into the throne room was so powerful because even though he was strung out on milk of the poppy, he understood what Rhaenyra was asking of him and he summoned all of his strength to walk unassisted all the way to the throne. When the crown fell and I saw it being picked up I first thought "well good for Viserys he can pick it up" and then I remember just as quickly how could he do that because his arm on the left side is completely gone. Seeing Daemon pick up the crown and then assist Viserys to the throne and then place the crown on his head was an emotional scene without any words between Paddy and Matt but it was superb in that their faces said all that needed to be said. I think at that point Daemon really truly feels for his brother and what he's been through. Then when Vaemond went and called Rhaenyra a "whore" I was like oh boy, that's not good. Then quick as I said that I was like "Whoa, there goes his head".....Otto and Alicent's expressions seeing Viserys walk into the throne room was also very telling in that they were almost panicked by seeing him there.....Rhaenys really had Vaemond thinking he was going to be the Lord of the Tides, only to have her be the one left standing....I hate to see Paddy leave as I really liked Viserys....He never got over being the one who caused Aeema's death and him greeting her as he was dying was poignant. All in all I loved this episode but if there was a downside, NO DRAGONS....but otherwise I just thought it was fantastic character development.

[@melanoidmarkus]

Give Paddy all the awards

[@RobulousDee]

This was a doozy of an episode, and all I could think at the end of it was how much I was looking forward to you breaking it down. Great and helpful analysis, as always!

[@theroadhomefromwrestling1788]

In the Trojan War there is a character named Cassandra who has the gift of prophecy, but is cursed by Apollo causing no one to ever believe anything she says. Seems similar to Helena and her name is similar to another certain character from the story of Troy…

[@DrSeuss-nv9hw]

Thanks for talking about the final scene. I didn't realize Viserys thought he was speaking to the Princess. Now, Alicent will try to install her idiot son as heir. Ohhhh, this is going to be good.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Allicent definitely didn't understand viserys final words😂😂

[@mikhail8295]

Nice work. One of the few reviews that's more review than just recap!

[@Marvee78]

Ok, so the runt of the litter Aemond shoots up into a 26-28 year old man in 6 years, but Criston Cole hasn't even aged a little bit, not even one greying hair? 😂

[@ajordan1976]

Dameon hasn't either. I mean he looks 40 yrs younger than his brother.

[@eds1942]

Alicent believed that Viserys was talking about that dream he told her about, seeing his son ruling over a united Realm. She just has the wrong context. The problem here is that even though she knows this guy intimately well. She knows that he has been absolutely adamant about Rhaenyra and her children, and who his heir is. She also has been acutely aware of his mental deterioration and most have known about the negative effects caused by milk-of-the-poppy, which Viserys just had. He was out of it, not responding back to her, wasn’t speaking too clearly and the context that she’s drawing from here was from something small he had confided with her about two decades earlier. She choose to interpret what little he said, half coherently, while not fully cognitive or aware of his surroundings as an absolute confirmation of something that she wanted. Understanding that that something would divide the Realm (in opposition of everything he has ever said) and could be seen as treasonous if she were to set such into motion.

[@Kammerliteratur]

I think Alicent realised that her dying husband confused her with his daughter. She might feel rejected because of this, especially because she was always there to care for him, and she might also think that this incoherent (and in her eyes possibly even heretical) mumbling of a promised prince is a very bad reason to make Rhanera the heir. But of course she still can and will use this to her advantage by wilfully misinterpreting Visery's last words as a wish to see her Aegon on the throne.

[@KiDCRuDi_]

This! I find believe Alicent "misinterpreted" what Viserys said, she knew who he was talking about and felt slighted that after being so attentive to him he still thought of his favorite child: Rhaenyra

[@seezu84]

Paddy Considine was amazing, Emmy nomination worth

[@alik5895]

Best old man dying ever put on screen. Considine was pitch perfect. Never overplayed. Authentic all the way down the line.

[@miscellaneousgab]

Loved the episode I just wish we knew more about Daemon and Rheanyra's dynamic and relationship now that it's 6 years later and they've had time to deepen their bond.

[@stealth11]

This time jump didn't bother me as much as episode 6 where we jumped from the younger versions to the older ones. And then they quickly killed off two characters, Laena and Harwin, who were essentially introduced in the same episode. Viserys should have stepped down before he was bed ridden and had Rhaenrya crowned. He could've said he would serve as her Hand to smooth over the transition.

[@oldguysrule5895]

Thanks for turning up the brightness

[@joasbenjamin6804]

The thing that was in the book they didn’t mention in the show was when Rhaenyra named her son Aegon Alicent was furious about that

[@GaryBernstein]

Why didn’t Viserys just name Daemon his successor? He’s be legitimate and Daemon’s sons with Raenyra could then succeed them.

[@doublestrokeroll]

I really really liked this episode. I love how complicated it was to keep track of. It was a bit of a throw back to how I felt watching the original series during the first couple of seasons where I referred to characters as that "that guy with the black hair and beard" because I couldn't remember everything. I'm glad they're not making it easy for the audience. That's what makes GoT so great in my opinion. One thing I really love is how Daemon's character has evolved. At first it seemed he might be written as the irredeemable character capable of just about anything, like killing his brother to become king. But now it's clear he would never do that and he's actually very loyal to the people he loves. It's a good contrast to Aegon and Aemond who are being developed as the maladjusted ones who probably would kill whomever they needed too regardless of any factors.

I appreciate your work you put into these videos. So much insight and you bring up really interesting questions. One thing that I'm intrigued with is the different perspective than what we get from the book. The maesters, I think, had a purpose - to minimize the dominance of the Targaryens and their dragons. There was no mention of the prophecy perhaps because they didn't believe in prophecies, or by the time they wrote the history, it had already disappeared. I just think it's looking more like an organized plot to have a major power shift in Westeros by using the Targaryens against themselves.

The dinner scene is a masterclass of melancholy in simplicity. Viserys watching the kids in a last dance before the Dance. Fleeting moments of bliss. Everyone hoping for the best, expecting the worst. For something so uneventfully peaceful, the passing was one of the most foreboding & viscerally filmed deaths I've seen. Book Viserys also doses off to the great beyond in his bed, after telling stories to grandkids. The king who was most unlike Aegon the Conqueror in life ends up being most like the Conqueror in death. Ok enough jokes. Now the serious stuff. "You're no son of mine" - Alicent getting crossbowed in the loo on mother's day confirmed lol. Ep 9 is The Green Council😱!! The coup is here!! Cue the Hoes Mad beat😤!!

we will certainly miss Paddy Viserys... 1 - I wish Vaemond death scene was more Rhaenyra related and had some sort of resistance before daemon cut him. 2 - I loved the dinner scene, giving Viserys a bit of hope before he died. At the same time, showing how the kids are too build in rivalry and schemes from their parents(Luce laughing at a roast pig in front of Aemond, Aegon being Aegon, AEmond mockery). 3 - Where is Daeron, we need him at least mentioned. 4 - I don't like this prophecy keeps coming back. Let the more palpable affairs rule this series.

[@joelsantos3092]

Which side is right, which side is wrong? Well, to put it simple: Rhaenyra is the heir; her father made the realm bend the knee and swear an oath of fielty to her. and the Hightowers usurped the throne. Of course Viserys made many mistakes. He named his daughter as his heir, but then he shortly remarried and had other children. He seemed utterly oblivious of the fact that, in a deeply misogynistic and patriarchal society, this would likely challenge Rhaenyra's claim.
