[@Mutazili]

He just wants to be loved, Rhaenyra was also called Maegor with t1ts, let him have it, the showrunners took away his own mom, dragon and sausage from him for a Rhaenyra fanfic...

[@Freya1412]

They call Rhaenyra that in the show as well. Season one, the guy putting on the play Daemon and Rhaenyra watched on the streets called Rhaenyra the Realms delight. Of course Aegon wants what his sister has. The Golden child, loved by both parents and the Realms delight just for existing. He got neglected and grew up being made to feel like a disappointment. I'm not blaming Rhaenyra for being loved just to be clear. However it's obvious Aegon would want a fraction of what his sister has when it's vital to a person's wellbeing. Imagine growing up unloved.

[@Mutazili]

​@@Freya1412 What did Rhaenyra do to be called the Realm's delight? At the very best it was bought by Viserys. The writers probably forgot that she she was called that in the show. I mean you know, they forgot about a dozen things to make Rhaenicent happen.

I think you’re really misunderstanding Jac. He’s not mad that someone else is riding dragons. He was fine with noble highborn riders from ally families with clear blood lines to his family. They’re potentially more loyal and he has a clearer right to succession to any of them. Where as these guys are bastards with no ties or loyalty and if they( silver haired riders of large dragons)rise up against him(dark haired rumored bastard with small dragon) he may not get the support he deserves.

Christian Cole is such a compelling character. He has given you every reason to hate him and yet one great scene and I almost feel bad for him. The actor who plays him is exceptional.

[@ptolover7]

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding the Jace thing. It's not just that more people have dragons and that makes him feel less special, it's specifically that it's bastards doing it. His idea was for people like Ser Steffon Darklyn who, while he didn't have much Targaryen blood, was of noble and legitimate birth. There's a belief that only trueborn Targaryens could bond with dragons, so when Jace and his brothers bonded with theirs, they could use that to deny being bastards (therefore making Jace the rightful heir to the throne). Doing this has shown that bastards can bond with dragons, which takes that away as an argument for Rhaenyra's sons' legitimacy, and if Jace can't convince people he's the trueborn son of Rhaenyra and Laenor, then he won't be able to inherit the throne. So he's definitely being an elitist, classist dick about it, but it makes sense for him to worry about that.

[@vjimenez8]

[@Darth_Nycta_13]

the reason why she chose Addam over Jace is Addam has seasmoke, Addam seems more cool headed and he is not heir to anything unlike Jacerys.

Alicent really raised her children to believe that they should fight for their birthright, tormented them with the idea that they should fear their half-sister and that they should fear for their lives, STARTED THE WAR and in the end she just abandoned them. Like how they managed to make her even more of a terrible person💀

[@isaacfloyd4023]

Actually it was Otto who told Alicent that Rhaenyra would eventually come for her sons. Rhaenyras son for a son talk made no sense. Aegon Is burnt, crippled and can no longer father children. Aegon originally didn't even want the throne. He just liked the attention and admiration he got when he put the crown on. Plus he wasn't even the one who killed Luke and he got destroyed by both Rhaenys and Aemond. Aemond is the one who killed both Luke and Rhaenys. Alicent selling out her son is ridiculous and legit sickened me even if she was hesitant in the moment. That whole conversation sickened me.

[@blackeyedlily]

I have seen that other people have already answered your question about the horned man at Harrenhal. But I’m going to add a little bit to that. In the main A Song of Ice and Fire series and some of the supporting material, there is a legend about a race of people known as the Green Men. It is one of the mysteries of the main series that will hopefully get further explanation if Martin eventually gets us more of the main story. Several of the characters in the series think about this legend from time to time. But there is a lot of question about what they really are. Bran Stark thinks about them the most. In his mind, they are described as horned men. But he never knows if they actually have horns or they are wearing horns on their head. He doesn’t know if they actually have green skin, or if they just wear green garments. He just knows the stories about how they are the guardians of the Isle of Faces, a mysterious island in the middle of the lake known as the God’s Eye. This is the lake that Harrenhal sits on the edge of. When people try to visit the lake it is said that they are repelled by strong winds or flocks of ravens. The Isle of Faces is supposed to be the site of an ancient pact between the Children of the Forest and the First Men and it is covered with a grove of Weirwood trees. Even the purpose of that pact and what was agreed upon is a mystery. Most people think that it something to do with the original Long Night, the White Walkers and the Weirwood network. Having a Green Man pop up in the show like that is a welcome surprise for fans of the books that particularly enjoy the magical elements of the series. House of the Dragon has been much better about the magical parts of the story than Game of Thrones was. The Green Men are inspired by Celtic legends of the horned god Cernunnos as well as numerous other myths and legends like the Oak King and the Holly King. The Oak King and the Holly King represent the turning of the seasons through the struggle of two brothers that are in constant battle, where one kills the other in order for the seasons to turn. And within the A Song of Ice and Fire you have many examples of brothers killing each other and a world where something happened to throw the seasons out of their normal cycle. A cycle that very much needs to be restored. A great example of this in the books is when Stannis kills Renly. In the books Renly is dressed in green armor, which includes a horned helmet, and his knights are known as the Knights of Summer. Another example is that Jon Snow is referred to as a Corn King by a talking raven in the books. A Corn King is another ancient legend where the king is ritually sacrificed in order to bring about a bountiful harvest after Winter’s end. My point is that the sighting of a Green Man in House of the Dragon ties into all these ancient nature myths and legends that the book series uses to point to the ancient magic that was misused and which led to the original Long Night and the creation of the White Walkers. And many book readers believe that the Green Men hold one of the keys to setting this right.

[@TMC_TimeLine]

I think people hate this season unjustifiably. Yes there is not much action this season, but this is necessary for the eventual big war. In this season we got to see the sides, the alliances, the motivations, plotting and scheming. We all don't want HOTD to end up like GOT S8, and the 1 thing the directors didn't do for the later seasons was take their time to set the storylines up for the eventual breakout. The first season was the building of the characters and world, during multiple years and the falling apart of the royal family due to internal conflict. The second season is the reaction, the creation of sides, the making of alliances and the recruiting of followers, and planning for the war. The third season will be the breakout, and because we got both the buildup of characters and sides we get to have a really satisfying way of seeing the war play out. You may think this season is boring, but it is necessary for the story. The whole war wouldn't be complete if we didn't see the internal struggle from Daemon, the character development of Aemond and Aegon, the realization of mistakes in Allicent, the reluctance of Helaena, the feeling of worthlessness from Jayce compared to the new dragonriders. I think people will appreciate this season way more when the actual war finally starts

[@editsby_ems3528]

this!! i get why people think it’s underwhelming but at the same time, it’s necessary. this ep is rlly good but as a finale it is meh.

[@TMC_TimeLine]

@@editsby_ems3528 Yeah I also get it why people may think of it as underwhelming, but it is 100% necessary. The thing is, people compare it to GOT and that is just not something that is possible here. In GOT you had the buildup and action both in a season, but people forget that there were multiple battles being fought at the same time, so you can have buildup for battle 1 while you get the action of battle 2. In HOTD there is only 1 war, and 2 sides that you get to see. So is wouldn't make sense to have a lot of action in between the buildup.

[@algerianchaouki5705]

Now the Blacks fight to save humanity and Alicent betrays her own family for Rhaenyra (who wanted Aemond tortured after he lost an eye, starved a city and her husband killed her grandson) the show is a fanfic, Heleana telling her son's murderer "You have a part to play" as if he is some hero, legit moronic writing.

[@saltyfrog3339]

Okay you seem to have missed the point with jace, he was talking about the highborn riding dragons. But that ended up with the lowborn riding them, hes insecure because all of his life hes heard insult after insult from the highborn around him and he feels betrayed almost because his claim to the throne would be incredibly weakened if a silver haired bastard were to claim a dragon and also go after the throne, people would more than likely support the silver haired bastard more sadly.

[@mmeade9402]

Ive marinated on it, I dont think I like it. They dragged things out too much. I understand having to move Daemon, but they spent 8 episodes on that one plot line, that dragged on too long. 3-4 episodes of teasing Rheana and the wild dragon. And this final episode a several minute montage of her trekking the wilderness and becoming Bear Grylles to find it. Too much, and not even to pay it off by showing her taming the dragon? Really? They ended season one with Rhaenyra looking like she was about to go mad queen. And then spent the first 4 episodes trying to sue for peace. And now that a peace offering that would end with her as victor shows up on her doorstep she's not going to accept it unless she can take Aegon's head? Victory is at hand, you make Aegon bend the knee in front of everybody and then send him to the wall and have the Starks make sure he never leaves it, you take his kids as "hostages" like Theon was in the north. He has no pecker so he cant make anymore heirs, the Greens are finished, you take all seven dragons and hunt down Aemond and its over because the Lannisters wont have anybody to fight for. The Hightower army cant/wont stand on its own. Game over, you win.

[@anxdem]

I just got here months late but i'm glad someone noticed it too. Alicent wore blue when she was Rhaenyra's bff, then she switched to Targaryens colour after her marriage, THEN the switch up after the 'betrayal' of trust from Rhaenyra at her wedding with the Hightower green, NOW AGAIN as she wishes for her and Helaena to be free as she was in her youth, she's back to wearing blue.

The criticism is not only about the pace of the show; the main issue is that it deviates too much from the book, making the show feel like fanfiction.

Can't Rhaenyra really get the throne without killing Aegon? I mean, can't she give him a chance to just surrender and give up the throne? I don't know why, but it seemed so unbelievable that she had no choice. Unless she really wants to shed blood. But if that's the case, why is she crying when Alicent had to make that hard choice at the end? I thought that whole scene was so bizarre.

[@namesara8753]

she has to or she looks weak if she can show mercy like that to treason whats to stop others from rising up in rebellion

[@roguechevelle]

She was crying for Alicent because she knows what it's like as a mother to be asking this of another mother and deep down she still cares for Alicent. And no she can't really just take Aegon prisoner or let him live because the Hightower's will always be stirring up rebellions etc to free him, he is their gateway to ruling the kingdom something the Hightower's have always wanted and they won't just let it go. Even Otto's older brother in Season 1 was pressuring Otto to make sure Aegeon would become the heir. Old Town is a very manipulative and powerful but many have long speculated that they secretly have been working against the Targaryen's for a long time and responsible for the end of the dragons or the belief in magic by Game of Thrones times.

[@wampa25]

My only criticism: this seemed more like a penultimate episode than a finale. We need one more episode for this season. So many great things happened.

[@kvngslatt_]

cuz it kinda is. we were supposed to have 10 this season but HBO moved the last two to season 3 due to budgeting issues. this episode is fine in a vacuum but it’s TERRIBLE as a season finale

[@GingerMT-o4m]

Ulf desevered every bit of what Jace gave him. He should not be trusted.

[@sculptureofsound2]

Silverwing is literally Rhaenyra's great grandmother's dragon (good queen alyssane) They're extremely valuable and precious family heirlooms. Jace understands how extremely foolhardy this is. This is why even tho im team Black and I like mysaria, i think Jace is showing incredible wisdom and foresight not to trust her. Westeros was robbed of him as a King.

Please bring back the map and the graveyard for season 3!!!! Stop shitting on Jacaerys. His concerns are more than valid. If Rhaenyra succeeds Jacaerys will most like have to war over his claim too.

[@paulchavez3039]

I loved this season, I feel like this last episode was an hour long trailer for season 3, but I understand the show runners want proper set up for what's to come so they can have the room of another season to do it in rather than it being interrupted by possibly a two year long break, and that was validated in an interview as well. Our watch begins 😂

[@alaaalsalman6733]

In this season, the main characters were destroyed, and the first of these characters is Alicent. Imagine, after the great hostility towards Ranira and her defense of her children, she simply comes to Ranira and gives her the plan for the fall of the capital and agrees to kill her son. 😬 And many things are not understood in this series. Disappointment.

[@algerianchaouki5705]

Halaena looking at her son's killer, "you have a role to play", Alicent "Yeah Rhaenyra you did many crimes against my family but I'll betray them for you" this show is a complete fanfiction.

[@justinehercthehuman]

ARRRRGHH. This season gave me the same feeling that The Boys season 4 did where I thought some sort of a big fight between the main characters was gonna happen in the season. Instead it ends with a tease on a new setup for the next season. The Boys delivered it better but HotD is just artistically on a different level that I still liked it. BUT STOP BLUEBALLING US AND THEN TELL US YOU'RE GONNA COME BACK AFTER 2 YEARS!!!

[@roguechevelle]

Well it's the execs of Warner Bros that cut the HOTD budget & episode numbers, the cast & Ryan didn't want the battle of the gullet to suffer from their bosses decision as it was originally gonna be the last 2 episodes in the script. So they made the best choice they could make and saved it for next seasons budget. They'd rather hold off then do it half-assed.

You two are the most patient reviewers. I really enjoyed watching your reactions. Battle of the Gullet, Fall of Kings Landing, Fishfeed, Battle of the Honeywine in the next 4 episodes of season 3.

initially this season was suppose to have 10 episodes, but they decided to reduce it and push the next battle (battle of gullet, Triarchy vs Corlys fleet and others) to the next season. So that's why its a strange episode as a season finale.

No one asked, but I’ve been trying to work out the current line of succession. Assuming women cannot inherited the Iron Throne and that the line of succession cannot pass down the female line, (which was established during the Great Council when Princess Rhaenys and her son Prince Laenor were denied the Iron Throne in favour of Viserys.) Please correct me if I’m wrong but I think it goes like this: 1. Aegon II : First-born son of King Viserys and Queen Alicent 2. Jaehaerys (deceased): First-born son of King Aegon and Queen Helaena 3. Maelor (cut from the show): Second-born son of King Aegon and Queen Helaena 4. Aemond: Second-born son of King Viserys and Queen Alicent 5. Daeron: Third-born son of King Viserys and Queen Alicent 6. Daemon: Second-born son of Prince Baelon and Princess Alyssa, and brother to King Viserys 7. Aegon III: First-born son to Prince Daemon and Princess Rhaenyra 8. Viserys: Second-born son to Prince Daemon and Princess Rhaenyra

[@SciFiCatGuy]

Easter Egg: Hopefully everyone knows that the Children of the Forest carved faces in the Weirwood trees ages ago. The Weirwood at Harrenhal has a special face, that of the creator, George R.R. Martin... all hail! In the visions Daemon had, we see Ser Brynden Rivers, bastard son of King Aegon IV, aka Bloodraven, the man who would later become the Three-Eyed Raven and teaching Bran Stark to succeed him as the Three-Eyed Raven. After Daemon, Bloodraven also wielded Dark Sister, one of the two Valyrian steel ancestral swords of House Targaryen. There is a not-so-popular, yet interesting, theory that Daemon and Bloodraven are the same person. We will see more of Bloodraven in HBO's new upcoming series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, but not until season 3 of that show, if they match 1 book to 1 season. That show centers around a wandering Hedge Knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his loyal squire, Egg. "Egg" is short for Aegon, as in Targaryen, future King Aegon Targaryen, Fourth of his name. But only Dunk, Egg, and Egg's father know Egg's true identity. You may remember in Game of Thrones, when Maester Aemon was dying he was talking to his little brother, Egg, that's this Aegon. So we will also get to see a young Maester Aemon, and I am hoping we also get to see a young Lady Olenna Tyrell. I think that's who Maester Aemon was referring to when he told Sam he had once been in love. On a side note, Ser Duncan the Tall is the grandfather of Hodor and great-grandfather of Brienne of Tarth. ✌️

2:58 Cody, you almost made my choke on my beverage... "Nice feet" (I chose the wrong moment to be drinking anything) [Well played] 6:40-6:46 Cody: "Sister... Wife... Both." I realize keeping the lineage with the Targaryens is complicated, but Aegon is married to Helaena, not Aemond. It's hard to say what that "devil thing" was, much smaller than a minotaur of our word's legends, seemed closer to a Satyr, a form more commonly recognizes as the lesser deity or demi-deity Pan part human, part goat. But in that lighting it was hard to say. (And it could be completely different, and not even loosely based on the mythologies I am familiar with) 26:30-26:36 Cody: "It's crazy to think after multiple failed attempts that this is the one" Bridgette: "Right?" She's only made one attempt, and she didn't lose her life in the attempt. That dragon was still bonded to another, and recently decided that the next best would do, but hadn't decided that _then_. 31:40-31:44 Cody: "Starks!"

im sure someone else has mentioned it but Jace's idea to find other dragon riders was slightly different. He wanted high born dragon riders.

Now Auf thinks he is an equal because he has a dragon.
