HOUSE OF THE DRAGON - Season 2 Episode 2 Reaction 2x2 - Rhaenyra the Cruel

[@sethaasland5705]

when otto yelled “TRIFLING” i felt that through my TV screen 😭😭😭 aegon got this man aging twice as fast

[@Velociraptour]

I think Rhaenys is right on her read on Daemon. He cares for Rhaenyra enough not to overthrow her, but he knew her as a little girl, he can't bring himself to just take orders from that little girl.

[@CokeZeroHero]

Rhaenyra has to be careful with Damon and Rhaenys there has to be some bitterness there because the throne was passed from them

[@Velociraptour]

@@CokeZeroHero Initially I thought there would be beef between Daemon and Rhaenys because he helped ensure Viserys become king over her. But by the looks of things, she pities him because he's basically on the same long road to acceptance she just went thru.

30:05 you could easily determine who the surviving twin was by asking him questions that only Erryk would know -- such as "who was the woman I sent to board a ship away from Dragonstone earlier today while you stood next to me?" Erryk only killed himself because he could not live with himself after killing his twin brother.

[@SamSamAnu]

Erryk was the one that got killed though. At least that was my gathering because he was the one that got cut on the leg and the twin from the Green side was the one that fell on his sword saying forgive me.

@@SamSamAnuC’mon. Erryk obviously survived. Arryk would never have come all that way, killed his own brother, only to choose to kill himself without even being challenged rather than fulfill his mission of killing Rhaenyra.

Errak and Arrak are actual twins. Errak (Elliott Tittensor) and Arrak (Luke Tittensor) are from the UK and Elliott use to be on the UK original "Shameless" series. He played Carl on that series. I have followed Elliotts career for years. You should check out older pics of them when they both had short hair and clean shaven.

I have to say I'm really surprised people are wanting the show to pick up the pace when so many complained that the last couple of seasons of GoT were rushed. Now they're actually taking their time building these characters, building the story and people are like yeaaa just get to the war and dragons already lol

[@immortal5626]

Agreed. I loved it so far. A well written, well acted and powerful scene can be just as good as an action scene. And this episode had a lot of that. And like its only episode 2.

[@CW-rx2js]

Ryaneyra is a much better mother than Alicent. On all counts

[@besugarb4655]

Why is all reactors coming for Rhaenyra about her not running. She could have been in shock, and then the body just freezes up so...

[@CertainlyCynical]

reactors don't think, they "react"

[@Skye_Writer]

Plus, the only way out is to go PAST the fighters. They are trained swordsmen, she KNOWS that one can easily lunge for her before she could dodge their sword. As long as they are in FRONT of her where she can see them, she has options. Also, when Loras comes in and puts himself between the fighters and Rhaenyra, she DOES finally turn around and try to flee for the other door, because now there is someone to make sure she doesn't get stabbed in the back. But Arryk locked that door from the outside before he came in from the 2nd door on the far side of the room. She has no way out. Also, Rhaenyra isn't trained for one on one hand to hand combat, she has never had to fight at all. If she WAS trained for anything, it's fighting from dragonback, which puts a lot more distance between you and your enemy. Right now, she is frightened out of her mind, something she hasn't been before in her own home. Of COURSE she is freezing up. She froze up when Daemon got so angry, too, and he just choked her a couple of weeks ago (by show time, anyway...only 10 days passed between the end of last season and the start of this one). It's just a trauma response to freeze up.

[@uggggggghhhhh]

Not just that buts its very dangerous to just run off. Youd be giving your back to them and youd be defenseless. You gotta watch and predict their move so to time your exit correctly

[@AkronRain69]

Where is she supposed to run to? She’s trapped on that side of the room and the back door was locked by Arryk. 🤦

[@ManicMeeks]

Not to mention there are two grown men swing sharp swords in front of the only other exit. The moment she would have tried to run around he would have stopped going for his brother and headed right towards Rhae.

The dragon that Addam of Hull saw from the beach is Seasmoke (formerly ridden by Laenor Velaryon). They will become better acquainted in future episodes. Addam and his brother Alyn are the sons of a shipbuilder's daughter, Marilda of Hull.

The rat catcher cheese kicked the dog not the big dude. I can't stand Criston Cole and his hypocrisy. The twins are real twins its not the same person. There wasn't anywhere for Raenyra to run to.

[@mein20years]

I really don’t think you guys have a good grasp on daemon’s character. Especially since you claim that he would’t hurt Rhaenyra, when we’ve quite literally already seen him do it before in the previous season. I know the rest of the argument was cut, but I can only hope after hearing the words from Rhaenyra herself you come to the realization that the only person Daemon ever truly looks out for is himself.

[@mein20years]

There’s such an intricate tie between Rhaenyra and Alicent, where both come to the realization that there is absolutely no controlling the men in their lives. Even those who claim to care for them will always put their own agenda’s above them, and being women in this world means only having limited ways to grasp for power. Both of them do so in their own ways, and coincidentally or not it will always bring them back to each other.

[@scarletibis3158]

they are actually twin actors. Elliott and Luke Tittensor

[@Rex-rg3ce]

"Why so many people live there" Lmao a 19th century British country lord would easily have a household of upwards of 30 people, what they called retainers. So imagine a medieval royal household. I would imagine in the 100s. Everything needed to be done manually back then and huge class inequality meant servants were easier to find.

[@jadeprincepk]

If Rhaenyra ran then that would distract Erryk who would need to reposition himself to protect her which could’ve given Arryk an advantage. Her remaining behind Erryk was best until help came.

[@fortelewisandrew2426]

They're twin brothers in real life. The Lannister twins, however, are played by the same actor. In Fire and Blood book, both brothers tragically fought to the death.

[@Skye_Writer]

It was in fact Cheese, the ratcatcher, who kicked his dog last episode. He don't know if he abused the poor animal on a regular basis or if it was a one-time response out of anger, but either way this human (shitty as he is) is this dog's source of food and shelter, so naturally the dog will whine on seeing him, trying to get his attention and tell him that he needs food or warmth or whatever. Naturally, he doesn't understand the man is dead.

[@princedaemontargaryen117]

Everyone says that they’d have to kill both even if Erryk won because they wouldn’t know if it truly is him. All Rhaenyra has to ask is, Who places the crown upon my head. Erryk would know and say “I brought you the crown, Prince Daemon placed it on your brow.” Arryk wouldn’t know that detail of Daemon placing the crown on her head.

[@swavkidd6298]

My opinion about daemon he is loyal n to be fair he gave the queen her vengeance ( also she didn't shed 1 tear for aegons son) n if he wanted the throne he would've took it he had lot of opportunity's to just saying. Man the acting this ep was 🔥 🔥

[@Velociraptour]

Is this what fans mean when they say Daemon and Rhaenyra are their parents? When one of them can't answer the argument or is about to say something they know they'll regret, they walk out instead. And now Daemon's gonna come up with some grand gesture, when what Rhaenyra needed was an apology...but the Riverlands are cool too I guess.

You wouldn't have to kill them both, you could question the survivor on the events that occured that day or days leading up to the fight. Mysaria saw the twin's time of arrival so only the "good" twin would have information on the goings on at Dragonstone prior to that.

And years later, doing the exact same thing, with the exact same man, causing the exact same situation. Thanks to Alicent and Otto, no woman can inherit the throne. Now Aegon only has a female heir, and a crazy brother to choose to succeed him. Perfect Irony.

[@daniellylima5568]

28:13 I liked the scene with the Twins, there were people who didn't like it because they didn't feel as much about the death of their brothers, but if people aren't sad about that scene, it's because we didn't have that much scene between the two of them because the public cares about the characters for reasons that not everyone They were so emotional in this scene, but that's why the writers are educated, that's why I say it's good, it shows all the characters and shows a lot on the screen because the audience cares about the characters, but for me, I really liked the scene. “We were born together, you separated us. But I still love you brother.” They were born together, were separated by choosing opposite sides in a war but died together. the fact that he can't live in the world knowing that he killed his own brother, that's why he kills himself 😭 “I swear to protect the queen with all my strength. And give my blood for hers.” Ser Erryk was faithful to his oath until his last breath, but living with the burden of taking his beloved brother's life was too high a price and impossible to pay. 💔 Criston Cole, in addition to blaming Arryk for the death of a child HE was supposed to be protecting, made Arryk fight his own brother to the death. the brother he described as "one soul in two bodies." Alicent is a very bad mother, Aemond, Aegon, even Helaena, they are like that, it's because of their mother who never looked at them and never gave them affection, that's why they are all like this, different from Rhaenyra's family, who are all united. is if they love each other. In the scene where Alicent sees Aegon crying he could pick him because he is her son but she often prefers to have sex with her lover than pick her son, this just shows who she really is. That's another thing, it's already good with so many scenes of Alicent's sex is Cristian Col, we, the public, already understand that you want to show that Alicent is a hypocrite and I think it's cool that they are showing why she, and even us books, is envious too, but it's already good with so many scenes like this together, they don't even They showed Corlys' scene with Rhaenys and apparently there won't be Dameon and Rhaenyra, more Alicent and Cristian Col, wow, they actually have a lot of scenes of them having sex, disgusting. justice for Team Black Not satisfied with everything she put Rhaenyra through, Alicent even took her room to fuck Cole... and Aemond took Daemon's. (Wow, how envious these green people are) Alicent only takes Rhaenyra's remains, have you noticed that 😂😂😂 Alicent is very jealous of Rhaenyra and Cristian Col will never get over a NO from Rhaenyra, they are very rotten, they hurt if they deserve it. Now I understand why the critics only talked about this fight (Daemon & Rhaenyra) the whole episode was warm after it was over... Otto's scene with Aegon was great and the twins scene too that's all that was cool about this episode 2. (I liked it of the episode, but I found it more or less, but I hope that episode 3 is better than the first and second)

1:59 Aegon broke his father's entire model. Poor Viserys right now, he's probably crying right now because his idiot son is breaking his things. Helaena, bewildered, holding Jaehaerys's toy and smelling the blanket she embroidered for him, the same one he used in the funeral procession.💔 That's how much Alicent was so worried about her daughter that the first thing she said to her was her own selfish interest and as if that wasn't enough,she even forced her daughter to participate in the funeral procession knowing it would traumatize her more. I liked the funeral scene, it was well recorded,I liked that we saw Halaena's vision, when the carriage got stuck I thought that Jaehaerys' body was going to fall and his head was going to separate hahaha I was scared of that happening. I thought it was so pointless the blood crying before larys started torturing 😂😂😂 he was a gold cloak and the most feared... and the guy betrayed the commander without even bleeding? he decapitated a child in cold blood but was afraid of larys? Seriously, just see the script 8:13 The way Jace looks exactly like Daemon at the council table was the best detail!!! I'm going to talk about what Harry Collet, who plays Jace, said about his character. "I think Jace has a spark of Rhaenyra in him, but I also think he has a spark of Daemon [...] He hasn't really had a predominant father figure in his life, so I think he looks up to Daemon a lot." 8:54 This Scene with Daemon made me laugh a lot, He is Genuinely the funniest Character in the House of the Dragon, As if this man was laughing, smiling all proud of what he did until he saw that Rhaenyra was angry and then he said "Listen to me, It was a mistake "😭😭😭 9:03 Rhaenyra saying that she never trusted him doesn't make sense to me because if she never trusted him, then why did she ask him to marry her and tell him that she needed him to protect her? He's the only one who can protect Rhaenyra And another inconsistency: being angry because the daemon was giving his own commands to guarantee the security of the castle after the usurpation because she was giving birth and incapable of making decisions, like she wanted him to wait? What if the hightowers attacked while she was giving birth?🤔 For a second she thought he had returned. Rhaenyra, Daemon isn't coming back so quickly, you called him a fool and I still tell him to his face that you don't trust him, what would you want, if my beloved called me pathetic after I gave him my world and showed my love with actions on duty, he was going to spend at least some time without seeing me. May my queen forgive me but I'm with the daemon in not giving a damn about the boy who died, nothing would have happened if the greens hadn't stolen Rhaenyra's throne, the greens killed Lucerys,did they think it would stay like that? Now a child on their side has died this is a consequence of what they did Remembering that the first attack was from the Green Team when Aemond killed Lucerys and there is even in the book who started the war in the book and saying that the green team started the war, not the black team. In the part where Daemon says that Viserys was the failure, brother. Yes,Viserys was weak as hell and his political impotence is the cause of the dance. He let Otto and Alicent run wild,he trusted those snakes and an entire Kingdom paid for it. I think all the interactions between the two (Daemon & Rhaenyra) are very dragonlike, you know, as if they were two dragons fighting (the real dragon's blood) "I don't think she [Rhaenyra] realized how bad this is for her [...] She has Daemon by her side and now she doesn't, she will have to reap these consequences in the episodes to come" according to Ryan Condal, a Daemon's departure It will be a great loss for Rhaenyra! Most people who wanted Rhaenyra to get rid of Daemon don't understand that if she hadn't married him, she would have died the second after Viserys died. and the count makes it clear that she will understand what Daemon's mere presence meant, obviously we can't take into consideration everything Ryan says because he and Sara are fragmented... anyway, we'll see. when the two actors are theater children and the direction follows the rhythm without making everything rigid, this happened here in this scene... I even enjoy watching the two actors dance... the sexual tension,disappointment,sadness and anger of the characters 10/10,I don't understand much about technical issues, but I thought the way Clare just followed the actors was really beautiful. “It's very complicated for [Daemon and Rhaenyra] because Rhaenyra feels a great sense of betrayal and a sense of injustice that is being directed at her. Ultimately, it's at the hands of Daemon with his impetuous behavior.” Matt Smith about Daemyra's fight in episode 2 Matt Smith about Daemon in episode 2 “I think the idea that she [Rhaenyra] doesn't trust him [Daemon] feels quite alien to him, because he thinks he's the most trustworthy person in the world for her, genuinely, so he's probably quite hurt by that” “Fatherhood is a very complex idea for him [Daemon] at the moment. He's still in the throes of grief, so I don't think he's a particularly efficient father this season.” - Matt Smith on Daemon's relationship with his children In the scene with Baela and Jace I thought it was cool because it showed more of their relationship, the part I didn't like was when Baela says that she sometimes hates her father, I was like🤷🏾‍♀️ because in the books, Daemon is a great father but unfortunately, the series' writers prefer to put Daemon as a terrible husband and a terrible father, and that makes me angry because I wanted people to see the other side of Daemon, which in the book there is more in the series, they don't have Harry Collett talking about Jace and Baela "You get to see a whole new side of Jace. This pain is changing him into a different person, but it's also matured him and we get to see these beautiful little moments between Baela and Jace growing as a relationship. It's this scene with Aemond, seriously, you (screenwriters) are going to put him as a poor thing, that's enough Alicent now,even Aemond too, he's a psychopath, bro, in the books,he kills Lucerys on purpose, and when he gets home, he and Aegon and his family green they all make a fuss because Rhaenyra's son died here comes the series makes the boy's death an "Accident" and now makes Aemond "Repentant" for what he did? This is not the psychopathic Aemond of the books. 14:15 In the scene with Rhaenys and Corlys, I wanted them to show their sex and it's a shame even if they didn't show it, it's another thing for Rhaenys too, who in front of Daemon makes it clear that she hates him and behind him defends him 😂😂😂 typical of even relatives (it hurts if they like their way better) 15:43 In the scene with Rhaenyra and Mysaria I noticed that Rhaenyra was jealous. You can tell just by looking at her posture when she goes to talk to Mysaria, Rhaenyra only freed Mysaria because she discovered that she was Daemon's ex, yes Mysaria's history of slavery/servitude/abuse would make her eventually free her. there, but not as quickly as it was. (Our Queen is so jealous🤭) and Mysaria giving a feminist speech and using Otto and Daemon as equal sides of the same coin? only saw the script Otto shined in this episode. he used his great-grandson's death to gain popular support. he spat in his grandson's face that he wasn't chosen and that his father was right for that. and finally he told Alicent to keep her sins in order to tell the devil because he wasn't interested (and I'm not interested in knowing either) about Alicent's victimhood. Even though she's fighting with her husband, she doesn't take off her ring, I feel bad because of the thickness of it, you can see her bones shining 😂😂😂

Unfortunately, Otto still treats Aegon as the drunken brat he used to kick. Aegon is still a drunken brat; but now he's a drunken brat who Otto and Alicent made King of Westeros and he's not going to put up with Otto's temper, even if Otto is speaking the truth. Otto is reaping what he has sown.

@@tsheporabekane4172 the 1st time he laid eyes on Laena as a woman was literally at the wedding, he did that for Nyra. & Rhaenyra literally did the same thing after Harwin's passing (both him & Laena passed away one after the other), it hadn't been a fortnight and she slept with Daemon to secure her throne (something she explicitly tells him)

[@LucerysOwner]

At first I was worried that the writers completey excluded Daeron from the show.. They finally mentioned my boy! When he shows up and he will, I hope they will portray him right - like in the books. For me he is not like Aegon or Aemond. He was a fairly kind, clever, and humble guy. Definitely the best among Alicen't sons. And honestly? The best among all of Viserys' kids (barring Helaena who we all love). Too bad, he was Alicent's third son. If Daeron was her eldest son then that throne would have been his. Or at the very least, Rhaenyra would have a tough time trying to defeat him. Because he's at least someone you can support for a reason beyond his so-called "birthright". (Spoiler for non book readers) The toughest part with Daeron is that he is a kid - some of the worst atrocities occur directly under his watch after Tumbleton, he isn't directly committing them like Aemond burning the riverlands or Aegon's litany of dark and violent deeds, but because he is 'a Targaryen alone in the world', and a kid besides, he's unable to do anything about it. Literally just if Ormond had lived, if Aemond had not been so overly single minded on vengeance against Daemon, if Daeron hadn't burned hundreds of injured people in a Sept at Bitterbridge (😬 I can believe he set the whole town on fire by accident the way it is described, especially considering how disgusted he is later), if Daeron's councilors had not been afraid of giving up potential dragon power and imprisoned/killed the betrayers sooner, if the men around him weren't so selfishly power hungry, things could have worked out differently. It's also possible history speaks better of him because he dies. Nonthelsss I can't wait till they give us Daeron the Daring alongside Tessarion! This episode was an emotional roller-coaster. From watching Aegon and poor Haleana griefing over their baby boy 😢. The Daemon and Rhaenyra "fall-out". But I know Daemon will undo his mistake in the next episode. Aemond cheeks supremacy!!!​The Cargyll twins duell was so emotional I can't even 😭 Ser Criston probably by now the most disliked character! 🤣 Tom Glynn Carney, Emma D'Arcy and Rhys Ifans put a god-tier performance in this episode! peak acting.

the episode was more story/character driven. there's only 8 eps. plus the actual dance of dragons i believe was not really long anyways. s1 time jumped a lot and right now, they are getting to the meat where they have to set up for what's to come. plus, the twins weren't there much to really form an attachment. there's only concern b/c they're young kids.
