House Of The Dragon | S2 E1 'A Son For A Son' | Reaction | Review

[@CraigKostelecky]

We did this reaction as a live premiere, so you can sync up our live comments to see some extra interaction. Thanks to all who showed up and commented. I don't know if we will do that again for the rest of these, but it is a nice thing to try.

[@DuoReacts]

I enjoyed that Craig. I would be opposed to doing that a lot more. Steve

[@CraigKostelecky]

I think you mean the opposite of what you said :)

[@DuoReacts]

Yeah I meant the opposite! Lol

[@GustavoCardoso95]

Actually that was exactly what Daemon asked for, they just cut the scene early. He knew damn well they wouldn't be able to kill the best sword in that castle XD

[@AL-fl4jk]

Criston wasn’t at his post, his post was in Alicent

[@DuoReacts]

😂

[@DuoReacts]

Oh My God lol! I like your quick response and comedy in that comment. Please allow yourself to comment some more please. Love the dark humor! ❤Steve

@AL-fl4jk I hereby forfeit my Bad Joke Championship 🏆 to you. Long may you reign. Hail! Hail! Hail!

rhaenyra’s dragon syrax was the mother to lucery’s dragon named arrax so that’s why syrax is also crying out and mourning with rhaenyra.

[@DuoReacts]

I enjoyed that scene and you could feel the emotion and pain of that scene for sure. ❤Steve

[@Caraxes_RoguePrince]

I mean the dragon feels the pain of the rider that’s why she’s crying out as well but yes she was the mother.

[@cleogriffith9921]

Wow! I didn’t know that. I knew the dragon was crying bcuz she felt her mistress pain, I didn’t know she was the mother of the young dragon also.

[@Caraxes_RoguePrince]

@@cleogriffith9921 yup all of rhaenyra kids dragons are syrax kids if im not mistaken.

[@ak14459]

@@Caraxes_RoguePrince yes of course it’s both! i was simply informing about the mother/son dragon dynamic because it’s not obvious to most viewers :)

[@WoodlandAsh]

Daemon didn’t instruct or plant the remains for Rhaenyra to find.

[@shanekeg]

Of course not, i swear they come up with some of the weirdest predictions

[@Blinkptx]

Daemon wanted Aemond, but it's easy to assume when they asked what to do if they couldn't find him, Daemon said a son for a son. So that was plan b. Also, complaining about there being a lot of dialogue is weird for these shows. The talking is always the best part. The action is just the cherry on top.

[@sproductionsinc]

I think a lot of folks expected the war immediately. It seems like they're going to be setting it up this season.

[@DuoReacts]

I mean what a set up to episode 2! I am so anxious to get to Sunday! This is why I love this so much! ❤Steve

[@susanleach9106]

The episode is called a Son for a Son. Great to see you back guys.

[@DuoReacts]

Thank you and welcome back! ❤Steve

[@rjeizzay9619]

How did I miss this last week!? We're back baby!

[@CraigKostelecky]

Indeed we are. We turned the lights back on.

[@ramoncarter3121]

naw the fisherman found the remains of Luke's dragon in the fishing nets Daemon didnt plant them there

[@aarrgghh]

as if anyone needed it -- more confirmation that daemon is just as reckless as aemond. rhaenyra would never have wanted jaehaerys' death, just as alicent would never have wanted lucerys'. now former friends are locked on course to mutual destruction because, as said last season about dragons, control is just an illusion. when war is declared, noble intentions and honorable causes are no protection against atrocities.

[@DuoReacts]

I mean I couldn’t have said it better. ❤Steve

[@aarrgghh]

@@DuoReacts appreciate the thumbs up!

[@TheReDeeMeR1988]

The intro is like Helaena said *_"Dragons of flesh weaving dragons of thread"_*

[@icechoc]

The intro is the history of House Targaryen - the Doom of Valyria, the Targaryen Conquest of Westeros, King Maegor dying on the Iron Throne, King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne's golden age, the Great Council of Harrenhal which we saw in the first episode, the beginning of the Dance of Dragons with the two factions on different sides of the table, Aegon and Rhaenyra on their thrones on opposite sides and then Lucerys and Arrax being killed by Aemond and Vhagar which started the civil war.

[@DuoReacts]

The intro was dope and we loved it! Cannot wait for episode 2! ❤Steve

[@nightwingman666]

There is just something fitting seeing you two watching a westeros set show with Starks again.

[@DuoReacts]

Thank you so much! ❤Steve

[@tiffanyphillips6086]

Well. Blood and cheese Said a son for a son Damon said ,he said they said they couldn't get their coin Unless they brought back the head. If u listen. And in season, one Damon admitted to the King of saying that we must all grieve in our own way. The heir for a day

[@shaquillemungur1379]

One if the few reactors that actaully has emapthy for Rhaenyra, granted B&C was horrible but so was Lukes Death, Visenyas Death and The Usurpation.

[@bluegypsy71]

Also, Lucerys was heir to Driftmark AND they lost a dragon🙁

[@bluegypsy71]

🐈🐀🧀Remember Arya chasing cats in King’s Landing? Blood and Cheese are the reason no rat catchers are no longer allowed to control the rat population. TEAM BLACK FOREVER!🖤🖤🖤🐉

[@tiffanyphillips6086]

We are back!! This is my most anticipated show this year. So good cant wait for more. Team black all the way!!

[@DuoReacts]

Green Tiffany! GREEN! ❤Steve

[@ak14459]

i like that you both chose a different side, cause it makes it much more interesting to watch reactions! thanks for sharing!

[@CraigKostelecky]

I am 90% sure Steve said green only because Lacey said black :)

[@DuoReacts]

Glad you enjoyed!, Steve

[@DuoReacts]

Team Green! ❤Steve

[@ak14459]

@@CraigKostelecky i will take it either way 😂.

[@bill.godwin-austen]

Poor Heleana... the one Green I really liked. (Although several are great characters...) That horrible experience will destroy an already fragile girl. And the innocent Jaherys... a son should not be punished for his father's sins.

[@DuoReacts]

Agreed but now the question is what is the next move? What is the reaction and response? How does all involved react to this murder? I am so excited about episode 2 that at my ripe ol age I want time to go faster! ❤Steve

[@bill.godwin-austen]

@@DuoReacts I suspect the reaction will be shock and rage... heavy on the shock. The strongest reaction will almost certainly be from Aegon, as that was a strike at him through his son. A son he seems to finally have taken an interest in. His lack of impulse control will probably spur him to a rash and hardcore response, and Aemond will gladly be his sword for that response. The Aegon we saw at least trying to be a proper king will likely be put on the back burner and the anger/emotion driven one will move to the forefront.

[@Gagboy223]

Best part of this episode, Stark music, Winterfell, love it. Ending of this episode.... poor baby paid a terrible price. I dont want to watch next episode now. P.S. tnx for reaction :)

[@DuoReacts]

Couldn't agree more

[@DuoReacts]

How can you not want to watch the next episode? This is where things get very interesting. ❤Steve

[@Gagboy223]

@@DuoReacts Lil bro lost his head and poor dog :/ But sure, i will watch, things get very interesting for sure.

[@cleogriffith9921]

That ending scene gave me chills. And I was 😡 also when that fuker kicked the dog for no reason. I honestly thought they was going to feed the dog to a dragon but I’d seen on Twitter it was for the rats, so he was just a decoy bcuz they walked rite by the king with the rat trap and dog and the king didn’t even blink an eye or asked a question. Welp at least Cole is getting some instead of just giving it 😂

[@DuoReacts]

I thought it was crazy but reasonable enough that these guys(murderers) walked right through the main throne room and took the young benefactors life. ❤Steve

[@CraigKostelecky]

@@DuoReacts If you rewatch the episode closely, you can see Cheese walking in the background through like 10 different shots. So him being around is expected.

[@tiffanyphillips6086]

Damon told them if they couldn't find Ameond to kill a son for a son. Bring me his head for the coin. Brutal

[@mamaseesa3122]

We don't know that for sure. This happened a lot in the book and on the show. People assume things about him without him having to say anything. Did he say the 'heir for a day' line, or did Otto lie? Daemon never confirmed nor denied. The way the scene played out, I got the impression that Daemon left it a little open ended, and B&C bumbled their way through things and took the first prince head they saw. They didn't even try to find Aemond. I'll withhold judgement until I see Daemon's reaction to the news.

[@sproductionsinc]

@@mamaseesa3122 Yeah a lot of folks are just projecting the book onto this instead of allowing it to play out. They absolutely left it open to what Daemon actually meant. It did always seem weird to me to go after Aegon's kids, but they made it clear that both Rhae & Daemon wanted Aemond first & foremost, as would I. If Aemond had kids, I could see them killing one, too, which would make sense.

[@Caraxes_RoguePrince]

Bruh this is a lie you literally don’t know what he said

[@sylviastraughton4318]

Hi Steve hi Lacey I'm so glad this show is back I'm with you Steve i can't wait until the next episode and I'm always so happy to see you guys killing the baby got me 😢😢

[@DuoReacts]

So happy you are on this journey with us! See you very soon for episode 2! It’s going to get Crazy! ❤Steve

[@brade7022]

While not explicity stated, i do believe fully Daemon told them to kill Jaehaerys if they can't find aemond.

[@DuoReacts]

I wonder if it was implied? I mean you could be right. Then again I think the answer could be in the next episode! ❤Steve

[@CarlosLopez-ok1gr]

They should call him the knight dude queen slayer at this point lol

[@DuoReacts]

😂 ❤Steve

[@rickydafreaky]

The noise suppression is ruining the voice quality

I loved seeing Lord Craig Stark. But he needs some facial hair.

[@DuoReacts]

Facial hair for sure. Agreed! ❤Steve

[@RobertWilt-q9y]

When are you going to finish fear the walking dead thanks

[@DuoReacts]

I will be very honest. Please don’t take this the wrong way. For me personally I was not enjoying Fear like I enjoyed TWD. As much as I want to be a people pleaser and just get through the show I can’t do it. I found myself not enjoying it that much. So with that said at this time I don’t see us finishing that series up. ❤Steve

[@Edgar-gn6bt]

Best reactions. Thank you for putting the titles of the different scenes. That´s great.

[@CraigKostelecky]

Thanks. It's something I've been doing for some of the videos lately. I was able to get this one done on time when my dog woke me up at 5:30 :)

[@DuoReacts]

Craig Kostelecky added that to the edit! Thanks Craig! ❤Steve
