[@co08m]

Losing Rhaenys and Meleys was utterly devastating. They were a true team and had been to battle before. Neither back down from a fight. The way they looked at each other as they both realized they were going to die was a true warrior’s exit. I don’t know if the future deaths are going to be as noble. RIP Rhaenys and the Red Queen

[@tohirbabs5495]

Rhaenys returned because regardless of the ambush, the order from her queen and the original intention was to secure rooks rest and stop criston cole's advance. she could've easily fled on several occasions but that would mean effectively giving up the crownlands and maybe the war at this point, so se took her chances and decided to fight. she already beat aegon and she saw how ruthless aemond was, so in a sense dhe was hoping she could end the whole war for rhaenyra here once and for all,. In a sense she knew the danger she was in so you could say she was effectively commiting suicide, but she also knew what fleeing would mean for rhaenyras war effort, so she stayed and fought... say what you wil about rhaenys but if she was the queen she seemed the kind to take on the battle herself rather than send people to do the fighting for her, something we see in rhaenyra too, which is why she stands by her

[@CaptainPikeachu]

Also, if she could wound Vhagar in any way, it will make killing Vhagar by the next dragon much easier.

[@howfire]

this isnt riverlands

[@howfire]

Rhaenys? The one that killed some hundreds commoners for nothing, could have ended the war and avoided thousands of deaths but again did nothing. And more, the one that advice Rhaenyra to ridiculously go chat with Alicent after everything that happened. Exposing Rhaenyra at such risk with no control of the situation at all, delivering herself to the enemy. Rhaenys is lost and indecisive, she cant decide if she wants to go to war or not, and commit to it. There was no need for her to sacrifice herself in this battle, she should have flown away to Dragonstone when Vhagar was down, or even better, after Vhagar burned Sunfire. Rhaenys should follow Daemon logical idea to team up

[@Mcherri]

@@howfireand aemond literally did the same thing to his own people and he does it again in the future he doesn’t care about anyone but himself they are dragon riders not to mention rhaenys was cornered and had no choice but to take her dragon back and that gave rhaenyera a chance at all to take sunfyre down.

[@ur9287]

Meleys was actually able to bring Vhagar down -- if you paid attention. Vhagar only wins on surprise attacks (sucker punches or rather - sucker munches) . Because when Meleys and Vhagar were head to head Vhagar wasnt able to stop Meleys -- it was only when Meleys and Rhaenys weren't looking, is when Vhagar and Aemond try to attack

[@LanceDiazzz]

Yeah Meleys is a lot faster than Vhagar

[@keynanvarnado7592]

Everyone says this as some "got em" for team black but it just isn't reality. Gravity brought Vhagar to the ground. Meleys is much more agile and so was able to pull up but Meleys caused Vhagar no significant damage. Also intelligence is an important part of battle and Vhagar has shown herself to be the smartest dragon with the way she attacks. There are no rules in war and it is irrelevant whether you think it's a "sucker punch."

[@infinitetk4165]

Gravity brought vhagar down not meleys and it did nothing to net

[@sivannatalie]

Vhagar knew meleys wouldn't be able to take flight again with a broken leg, which would've made her a sitting duck. As they got closer to the ground Vhagar had to release meleys leg so she could start slowing her own descent rate, thus cushioning her landing. Meleys almost touched the ground, but she had just enough time/altitude to flap her wings to create lift and save herself from impact with the ground.

Personally I find Aegon to be one of the most complex/interesting characters on HOTD and I've noticed a lot of people barely recognize it because they hate him so much. Which I find interesting, since it seems they hate him for either being Rhaenyra's enemy or because he's useless. I don't think many people hate him because he raped Dyana, otherwise they'd hate Daemon for killing Rhea. The difference is that Daemon is competent in battle and is saracastic, but Aegon's incompetence is a story in itself

Is he supposed to leave it for the Greens and not control the Riverlands? They need an army, and that is why he is there. Team Green already has an army, and Daemon needs one for Team Black. What is this thought process, what on earth is he supposed to do there? And Igli, he is the king consort. That is not him taking power, that is exactly who he is. What he said to Oscar Tully is true. A liege lord can't act weak and allow his vassal houses like Blackwoods and Brackens to do what they want. That is why he brought in The Blackwoods to assemble an army by bringing people to Team Black. Is that not what was supposed to be done? You do realize that Team Black has no army, right? Rhaenyra is currently doing nothing to get an army, that is why he has to. He is not a detriment, he is the most powerful weapon she has. The fear of him is the reason she married him.

[@TheMermaidBru]

So, Vhagar is known as the Queen of the Dragons. She's a female dragon of over 180 years old. I always see people saying "He is huge" and "There's no fighting against him" and assuming she's a male dragon, but she isn't and that's important for the story. Female dragons fiercely defend their riders, more than male dragons that usually just prefer attacking first with no care for the riders. Which makes Vhagar even more dangerous, because if Aemond is at risk, she won't spare anything to keep him safe.

[@tetamale4280]

Rhaenys' death is even sadder when you consider that her daughter was the previous rider of Vhagar and Aemond robbed Rhaena of the chance to claim her

[@annevergara7220]

Notice how Rhaenys never commanded Dracarys. She is no kinslayer. She just wants to injure the dragons a bit to not be sent to war again. Whilst Aemond now has 2 1/2 kills. He deserves to only be remembered as a Kinslayer. A disgrace to House Targaryen.

It's wild seeing Daemon tripping balls at Harrenhal.

"Why should your voice be any louder than ours, Princess?" "...Do you see the color of her hair?!" 😅

[@CaptainPikeachu]

I can't forgive the show for erasing Elmo and Kermit Tully, the show was cowardly for not being willing to follow through on Muppet Tully power, but here's hoping the now introduced Oscar Tully will actually get to be the badass he is in the books. Now Aemond saying F U to Aegon at Rook's Rest was a nice bit of addition/nuance to the book events, that was brilliant.

[@nikdenver8512]

There's no need for Kermit in the story. He dies early on. Kermit and Oscar will be in the show.

[@CaptainPikeachu]

@@nikdenver8512 Uh I think you mean Elmo. Also there is no Kermit in the show, they have clearly consolidated Kermit and Oscar into the show’s version of Oscar Tully to avoid using the most recognizable Muppet names. You’ll note that Oscar is said to be the heir, when in the books Kermit is the actual heir, so there is no Kermit Tully in the show.

[@RiSaRx85]

I cried so fucking hard to Meleys and Rhaenys falling. Sunfyre too man. Hated it.

[@JessLoveyy]

Such a good episode !!

[@SnowTheParrot]

Vhaegar is a girl Sunfyre is a male.

[@tetamale4280]

and just like that, here it is the first Dance

[@Arcannabis]

I’ve taken calling y’all The Raghetti Pack, cuz like spaghetti, y’all cook.

[@MyGuy18]

Long Live Aemond One Eyed!

[@KristineElizabethKraycer]

I think she knew she was on a kamikaze mission. She was the one til now saying never send in the dragons because it’s a nuclear option. She decided that’s the only option left and took it upon herself to do this showing Rhaenyra this is what they have to do. I love the exchanged look of Meleys and her knowing it was the end and thanks for all the memories type of look. I guess Aegon shouldn’t have humiliated Aemond last episode. I feel that he’s still alive but in bad shape because they would’ve shown him dead. Sad to see her and her dragon go. It was truly heartbreaking

[@marcelloussmith8951]

We saw Jon and Rhaegal fight the Night King on Viserion. That was the first real dragon fight we’ve seen

[@jesuismila9673]

This series makes me so sad. I'm rooting for the Greens with all my heart, the scene with Aegon and Sunfyre breaks my heart, but that parting look between Melyes and Rhaenys broke my heart for the second time in the series...

[@DBZeni]

daemon said to the old queen we can take out vhagar together. old queen had the biggest dragon for team black and daemons is slightly smaller. both battle tested. Also vhagar and myleys both belonged to a married couple previously so they were togther often, so it sucks they had to kill each other.

[@kieranstevens5535]

Vaghar- Female Meleys- Female Sunfyre- Male Nothing makes me angrier than when the dragons are misgendered. Not even people being misgendered

[@Thrashifice]

You need to take some time of the internet.

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dewantoroo]

Chill out. Dragons in this universe is most likely gender-fluid. "Dragons are neither male nor female, Barth saw the truth of that, but now one and now the other, as changeable as flame."

[@williamblankenship6351]

STFU. Misgendering CGI😂😅

[@ArtTipswithJohnS.-ty7nr]

youve must be living a very comfortable life than

[@abelgonzalez158]

My heart 💔 😭

[@JtheRIP88]

I think rhaenys knew she couldn't run off again after failing to end the war the s1. Among other things! But that has to be part of her reasoning to turn back

[@_justinblizzle]

The Lyseni (from the Free City of Lys) are another group of silver haired Valyrian’s. It was not uncommon for Targ princes throughout history to go to Lys in search of a wife if there was no sister or cousin available to them. And yes, the Lyseni specialize in the art of love making.

[@obsidious9809]

RIP QUEEN AEGON.

[@bug5317]

My Queen that never was!!!! RIP my girl!

[@leonardolucasrs]

the wisest woman 😭 I'll miss her

[@Scambityfactsteam]

Rhaenys was definitely my favorite Targaryen she was as real as they come and fearless.. Blood of the dragon and stag

[@tetamale4280]

one of the best episodes in the GoT universe

[@patrickLao20]

YES!

[@rakibv8ight844]

Team Black need to get them biggest unclaimed dragons like Vermithor to go against Vaeghar, Maelys was the best

[@xheatproofspy7011]

Great episode. At 32:58 if you had subtitles on it was Gwayne Hightower who said that

[@jesuismelode]

Aemond and Vhaegar not letting Aegon’s drunk cook, so they ended up cooking him frfr
