I think Aegon did survive at the end, however his injuries probably will leave him broken and feeble, allowing Aemond to "call the shots" behind the scenes.

[@MattandJessTV]

I think you're exactly right on that. I think if Aegon was actually dead they'd have shown it. - Jess

[@chaz5489]

Matt, if only 2 people get the you can’t see me joke then it’s me and somebody else haha ✋🏼

[@MattandJessTV]

Hey, I'm glad someone did! It's one of the reasons I love his Instagram. -Matt

[@chaz5489]

@@MattandJessTV Haha right!!

[@JustaMomThatSims]

😆 I'm the other person

[@chaz5489]

Yea, you guys have me convinced that Aegon is still alive lol

[@MattandJessTV]

Hahaha well, what role will he take? -Matt

[@chaz5489]

@@MattandJessTV I have no idea lol I was 100% convinced he was dead until I watched you guys talking and now I’m not sure what to think lol if he’s alive, it’ll be interesting to see what happens with Aemond for trying to kill his king

[@MattandJessTV]

It'll be very interesting! If Aegon is alive will he even be functioning enough to call out Aemond's betrayal? and if he is what will he do to Aemond? Aemond is crafty, he may be able to talk his way out of this. -Matt

[@JamieBarrington]

Everyone in the show had this epic dragon battle while the biggest badass, Daemon, was at The Stanley Hotel dealing with shinings and Red Rum, lol. And while that is pretty funny, I agree, it's high time he returns to Dragonstone. Enough is enough!

[@MattandJessTV]

Now, is it going to happen this week? It better! I'm getting impatient lol -Matt

[@robertantol6191]

Alys rivers could b working for larys or even his daughter. Larys did say something about daemon being at harrenhahl and losing his mind as well or something like that

[@MattandJessTV]

It feels like Alys is working with the greens to keep Daemon haunted at damp castle lol. Larys has his hands in everything and that seems like a strategic move he would make. - Jess

[@loiscobb687]

Dang it my cell phone battery just died. I'll rewatch when it charged. But, if Aegon is alive, he can't be the same mentally or physically so who'll take over. I think it'll be Aemon because he's stronger, meaner than the Mom. Of course I'm probably wrong 😂 I need to put on my tin foil hat while my phone charges.

[@MattandJessTV]

Lol definitely do, and let us know what you think! Aren't we set up for a great final four episodes this season? -Matt

[@islandgyal3730]

Isn't it ironic that Daemon starts the episode trying to encourage a young heir to off his grandfather to gain power and control. At the end of the episode Aemond tries to off Aegon to become king, perhaps.

[@MattandJessTV]

And aren't there such interesting parallels between Daemon and Aemond, perhaps more than they would like to admit? -Matt

[@cherylllera7416]

He’s alive but looks like bacon

[@MattandJessTV]

Lol how will we even see that? -Matt

[@dansdollar8318]

What a surprise ending. Aemond put an end to his family member.

[@MattandJessTV]

And if Aegon is somehow still alive, what will be the cost? -Matt

[@dansdollar8318]

I am not familiar with the characters. I am not aware of who is who anymore.

[@gun_toting_lefty]

-Long Live Yngwie J. Targaryen!!! 😆😆😆 -What is the deal with this guy who saved Corlis's life??? He's been in every episode! Has The Sea Snake been stepping out on Raynese? Speaking of which, he's gonna be PISSED when he gets the news! -Do you think Sir Criston even cares about what could have happened to Aegon when Aemon caught up with him? They did come up with the battle plan together. Solid plan, by the way. Kudos! Gotta give it to Team Green when they deserve it.!

[@MattandJessTV]

Haha they got the win here but I still hope that we're going to see Team Black figure things out still! Here's what I would wander about Criston: Does his loyalty to Aegon start and end with him being appointed to Hand? -Matt

[@quspal]

I'm Confused. My HBO Max streaming service tells me I'm on episode 4

[@MattandJessTV]

This video is our preview for episode 5! For what’s coming up :) - Jess

[@MercenaryX84]

Team Chaos all the way. The best team to be on

[@MattandJessTV]

Now THAT is hard to argue -- just bring us the entertainment, right? -Matt

[@JustaMomThatSims]

The green are so ridiculous. I would think that parading a big dragon head through town would scare the people of the town. They don't care about the politics. Otto is going to curse when he sees the raven telling him about this stunt. Also, the people saw the king fly out low over town, they're going to know he's not okay, being carried back in a box 😆

[@MattandJessTV]

Do you think Otto turns up here? Honestly I just wanna get the guy back lol -Matt

[@JustaMomThatSims]

@@MattandJessTV Lol. . I don't think he'll come back for Aemond to be in charge. I don't think Aemond would listen to his grandfather either.

[@MattandJessTV]

hahaha you're probably right! -Matt

[@sammi088]

I think he’s alive but I don’t think he can still be king . He’s probably can’t even talk

[@MattandJessTV]

Who will then take over in his stead? -Matt

[@ml8296]

Completely unrelated: are yall gonna keep covering the boys?

[@MattandJessTV]

Hey! We are covering the boys still, but our weekly episode reviews are exclusively on our spotify (which is also matt and jess tv). only one episode left! How are you liking the season? - Jess

[@ml8296]

@@MattandJessTV oh! Ok. I didnt get a chance to see your episode 4 review before you took it down. The season is ok, the most lackluster of the seasons so far to me. Last episode was unnecessarily freaky in my opinion, and it didnt really move the plot along. Im hoping the last 2 episodes of the season go out with a bang.

[@MattandJessTV]

@@ml8296 all of our boys content was getting restricted on youtube and it was affecting the overall health of our channel (almost everyone covering the boys is having their content restricted), so we moved it to spotify. yeah the tek night episode was freaky in all the ways that made no sense. it was like who ever wrote tek knight on gen v was a completely different writer to who wrote him on the boys. This has been my least favorite season if I'm being honest. a lot of the jokes are repetitive and the story feels repetitive. - Jess

[@ml8296]

@@MattandJessTV im gonna go listen to ur takes when i get the chance, but i was really taken aback by the dungeon stuff. I can handle a man walking in another mans urethra but for some reason all of that freaky episode 6 stuff was where i had to draw my line. Im not sure what the conclusion of the story is supposed to be since i didnt read the comics but im hoping they get it together moving forward, especially for season 5. I think they shouldve let soldierboy hurt homelander but not kill him so we could watch the fallout. But since it looks like sistersage wants to destroy the 7 from the inside, itll be interesting to see how she orchestrates everything

[@partlycloudy3519]

Dameon dies so does sir christian a cole I cant wait

[@harmonydesroches]

Why spoil?

[@MattandJessTV]

There have been some changes from the book already so even if that is in the book it doesn't mean that will play out on the show. So hopefully this is not a spoiler. - Jess

[@partlycloudy3519]

I hate knowing team green will win the war but it'll be rhanera 2 younger sons ageon III that takes throne after ageon II dies

[@L.L.Cool.T]

I hate know-it-alls who spoil things.
