Larys is foot fetish, Alicent the Queen of Feet, control him by her feet

[@LuvMeeka]

Potential spoiler: you'll understand later in GoT that Aegon Targaryen being king called by Viserys isn't his son that he meant to unite the kingdoms

[@chriiiiisco]

The coronation took place in the dragon pit, (as you figured out) that’s why Rhaenys was smiling when she was in the crowd. She was thinking “these idiots…” 🤣🤣

[@riolkin]

Rhaenys "I need to get to the Dragonpit." Erryk "They'll never let you get past the gate" Meanwhile, the Goldcloaks: "QUICK! EVERYONE INTO THE DRAGONPIT! Push into the gate like your getting on a train in Japan!"

- What's this foot thing? - Maybe she just feels comfortable around him. You have a wholesome mind, Spartan. 😅

[@kk_33]

Lmao right? As soon as she deliberately took her shoes off and put her feet on the table I could tell it was going to be weird. I've seen a few reactors now struggle to pick up on what was going on until he starts touching himself.

[@SuperJinkyO]

LOL! This was my exact thought so many times in this reaction. Dastardly intrigue is playing out everywhere and he was missing it and I genuinely said "he is too wholesome for this show". That's not a critique, it just is. To watch that whole Larys foot scene and think "maybe the Queen doesn't know" - that's a mind that doesn't naturally think in murky plots.

Now it makes a bit more sense and clearly she knew what she was doing and what his reaction would be, otherwise why would she have done it at all?

Larys isn't blackmailing her. It's more of a "payment" for the information she wants to know. He can't say that Alicent had him kill the Strong's without admitting that he is a kinslayer. That would hurt him more than it would hurt her.

[@__Michael_]

I just want to say that Spartan and pudgey’s reactions sums up what I’ve noticed amongst other couples that react to the GOT’s universe, the women follow the story and the connections that the characters have with each other more closely and notice the small things going on more than the men, that isn’t saying that the men don’t care about the story or the connections it’s just they are more focused on the action and the big situations going on, so the women often have a better grasp of what’s going on and are able to predict what’s going to happen better than the men IMO

[@RamseyGarnaoui]

There is a point to be made that the source material isn’t as accurate as some think, since it was written much later by a Maester who used rather unreliable sources in his account of these events.

[@marwanali4878]

Exactly. Its really cool to see how she picks up on a lot of those things. Even in this reaction, she mentioned that Haelaenas prophecy could mean something more and I think she's right. It probably means 2 things, one would be what we saw and the others would be spoiler that shows up later in season 2

[@Buttcakes15]

Also in this reaction how she picked up on Aegon never being loved by his family, but when he becomes king he is. I didn’t even notice that.

its not that big of a deal. also having spartan agree with everything she says would be boring, let him have his own reaction lol

[@Stephie_L]

@@Buttcakes15 This was actually hinted at in episode 8 as well. Assault is never ok but when Alicent told him "you're no son of mine" and he responded that he was never enough for her or his father, it was clear that he was a product of severe emotional neglect. I hope that he'll have more nuance than just being Joffery 2.0. I've not read the books but it would be more interesting to see him actually take to being king and actually be somewhat good at it. That would add to the rivalry with Aemond who wants the throne. I'm still team black but it would be nice to see some development with Aegon.

[@kittenstomp]

the naivety of the foot scene was... hysterical!

[@sam_c95]

I think Helaena's prophecy has multiple interpretations. Until the literal beast beneath the boards this episode, I interpreted it as saying there's some danger brewing just out of sight, a forecast of the events to come. It could refer to Viserys's tendency to cover up all the tensions and pretend that everything is alright when it's not. It could also refer to the network of spies under floors and in the walls, a caution against people like Mysaria and Larys.

[@rhaenyralikesyoutube6289]

My possible interpretations of the prophecy: Rhaenys crashing through the dragon pit at the end of the episode on the back of her dragon Meleys, the explosion killing innocent Kingslanding civilians simply for being there. The coming war and conflict. Or, Aegon's tyrannical kingship. I don't know why, but to me I got the strong impression that the prophecy referred to Aegon bringing the kingdom to ruin.

I always watch the show twice because you can miss so much in the conversations. I love your reactions so don't worry about missing stuff.

Yup I caught the candle thing right away but also knew that was the same handmade that we saw in another episode that had previously gone to the white worms home to relay information.

[@Tormund_Giantsbrain]

I was blown away by the details in the coronation. It felt like watching Nicholas II being crowned in an Orthodox ceremony with all the hollow pomp & circumstance of a rotting system. It's what I'd always envisioned from a GoT coronation. Tom Glynn-Carney was terrific in bringing out Aegon's fear, hesitation, pride & euphoria all at once. I'm glad they kept much despised Criston putting the Conqueror's crown on Aegon II's head. The Kingmaker is born! What this show does very well is these details, down to locking up servants. Usually these passionate debates, the sense of treachery, the heartbreak are glossed over & we only see the regime change as a "fait accompli". This brings to life the mechanism that historically goes behind a coup, which I assume is as emotionally taxing for the people seizing power. That's why I liked agonized & conflicted Alicent more than her steadfast source counterpart. It's more flesh & blood. She vacillates but her messianic fear for her children fates her to make a cursed gamble. *Jokes aside, Tfw u only support Green Lives Matter King for the extermination of Strong Boys cause ur pro Valeryian blood supremacy.*

Helena most likely was crying because of what she saw was to come in the war and perhaps those she might loose of her family as well...not a spoiler only guesses at this point. Aegon was crying because he was being forced to do what he didn't want but then he saw how the people cheered for him and he started to like that fact also I am pretty sure he knows that his father's last words were not to make him king so he was upset aboit that as well because he felt like his father never loved him.

It's wild to me that the feet scenes in this show are rated just as if not more taboo than the incest...

[@sultanacatalina465]

29:23 that’s Mysaria’s house and i think that was one of the guys that lost their tongues. Afterall Alicent piad for it with her feet

I don't mind at all if you guys miss out on some information. I'm sort of a fanatic who has seen the show twice, read the books 3 times, and talks about GOT with my therapist, as first time watchers you've caught on to everything so far and quicker than I did the first time around. One of the initial things I liked was when you pause the episode, say your thoughts and continue! I'm really liking everything and the way your channel is progressing!! :) Mysaria is my personal fave in this episode, I'm mad about how the coronation scene went since I didn't get a single "long live the queen" from the books 😤 I would've been shouting 😭#teamblack !!

The head knight is also in another great show: Outlander.

Great reaction again. Pudgey is on it... she sees all the details! Your timing is incredible between the 2 episodes. Alicent knew about Larys... and his foot fetish... its a sort of payment for information and loyalty I guess.

[@carriesmith742]

Larys has a lightning bug sigil that he created that he has on his cane. He also pinned the sigil to the guys whose tongues he cut isn't before sending tokill his father and brother at Harrenhall. The White Wyrm reminds me of Varys with wanting what is good for the people.

[@lethaldose9780]

The story that's being told in this show is a period in Targaryen history called The Dance of the Dragons.

[@MonaroMel1]

Aegon was crowned in the dragon pit. That's why she was happy to be heading that way. When you guys say no event ever goes well on Game of Thrones, I'm sitting here waiting patiently for you to watch more GOT 🤗

[@leisastalnaker3790]

It’s one of Larys silent assassins that burned the White Worms quarters.

[@cvn65vet76]

Regardless of what Alicent believes to be the truth, Rhaenyra is still the heir, and she still helped Aegon usurp the throne. Even though she has the best of intentions its still treason.

[@gypsysoul.]

Alicent was trading for info. She was 100% aware. Definitely considering Rhaenys words tho in that moment imo. Keep up the excellent work 🤩 🤩

[@jaderrdragonlover764]

I think the burning house was Mysaria's, the white worm. Larys offers Alicent to 'take care of the head". Also the guy in the hood i believe is one of Larys' men who burned down Harrenhal and killed Harwin Strong and his father Lionel the Kings hand.

[@lornamaker3312]

The Coronation was in the Dragon Pit.

[@GustavoCardoso95]

It wasn’t otto, it’s one of Larys fireflies killing Mysaria.

[@math9172]

Ok so. I've seen people being real mad about that scene and calling it "random girl boss moment", and although I can't deny that it might've been part of the reasons why they decided this would happen, it also makes kind of sense. It'd be cool if Rhaenys escaped kings landing to tell everything to Rhaenyra, but at the same time letting the other side have her dragon (which is quite an imposing and powerful beast) would've been a real loss, and when she saw that the coronation would be held at Dragonpit, she jumped on the occasion. Now the armor she "randomly" got was a bit unnecessary, but I'm guessing inside dragonpit there are armors for dragonriders stored, so that's not that much of a stretch (and I'm guessing when you're litteraly breaking the ground on dragon back you better have some protection. What I am quite disappointed about however, is that she didn't burn them to a crisp. Obviously that would've ended the story and there wouldn't have been a civil war, but she really had no reason not to do it except maybe honor and sympathy. Had she killed them, Rhaenyra would've become queen, and branded them traitors for usurping the throne and betraying the word of the king, therefore making their death absolutely legal. Most houses in kings landing were spineless and bent the knee to Aegon just to live, so they would've done the same again and pledged their loyalty to Rhaenyra after she became Queen. Then afterwards, Rhaenyra the rightful heir, with the support of the Velaryon line, 6 dragons (+ the ones from Alicent's childrens), Rhaenys, Daemon and a few houses that actually liked her (the one who haven't been slaughtered by the hightowers yet that is; would've had an extremely strong claim and stable power. Too bad it's GOT and Rhaenys' gonna regret it soon :( Edit : Also, cool to see that Criston, in 20 years, is still as stupid, violent, impulsive and overall despicable as he was before.

[@PeverellTheThird]

I think she's already wearing the armour when she left the castle.

[@jizaye]

It doesn't make sense that rhaenys should have killed the greens. They are her extended family after all and aside from the brief imprisonment to try to win over her support, all rhaenys knows AT THIS POINT IN TIME is that the king is dead and there has been a coup, and so she flies to Dragonstone to notify Rhaenyra. Whether the greens are to pay for their coup with their lives is for Rhaenyra to decide, not rhaenys 🤷‍♂️

[@finalarbitrator4551]

Rhaenyra is more despicable than anyone else.

[@vivienthape5265]

The war hasn’t started yet. So her killing the greens would mean kinslaying. Which is a great crime. She would be executed for it. Also rheanys is Not a tyrant

[@math9172]

@@blaubeer8039 There is litteraly no spoiler. I don't know what's going to happen afterwards. Just my thoughts and take on the matter.

We saw Aegon and Helaena's twin children this episode. They are a boy, Jaehaerys, and a girl, Jaehaera.

[@terrytumble162]

I wasn’t sure if they were both girls because Aemond claimed he’s next in line for the throne if Aegon dies. Surely it’d be Jaeherys?

[@sam_c95]

@@terrytumble162 Yeah it should be Jaehaerys. If they're both girls it'd be a change from the source material, but I don't think they'd change that - I could be wrong but I don't see why they would. Idk why Aemond said that though, maybe he was talking about viable leaders which the children are not? Perhaps he was claiming it in a similar way as when Renly spoke to Ned in GoT S1E7 (no spoilers for season 2+) - he thought he would be a better king in practice even though his claim was weaker. Could be a writing error, or a genuine change, idk.

[@terrytumble162]

@@sam_c95 cheers for the reply. I reckon you’re right, technically he’s not the next in line but in his head he is.

[@ineednochannelyoutube2651]

Thing for telling Arrck and Errck apert. Arrck begins with A for Alicent, Aegon, and Aemond. Errck begins with E for... (this one's trickier.) aEmma's daughter. The actress who plays Rhaenyra is named Emma, so that works too.

[@hoon_sol]

Also, just a note: the coronation was taking place inside the Dragonpit; that's what the structure they're all standing in is called.

[@frankvandorp2059]

The fact that Rhaenys murders hundreds of innocents and all the showrunners seemed to care about is that she looked badass, that will never stop to annoy me. I wish I could erase that scene from my memory, the show is so much better without it.

[@suddenimpulse030]

You should probably listen to the podcast or read the full interviews if you think that's all they cared about.

[@israelruiz9798]

Alicent knew what she has to do to get the info from Larys, she looked all to familiar. She doesn’t like it but she will do it.

[@s1lm4r1l6]

Talya is one of the White Worm's spies, it's how she knew that the King was dead. Talya lit a candle and placed it in a specific window as a signal. Larys arranged for Talya's imprisonment/death and the act of arson on the White Worm's establishment. Alicent and Otto were both desperate to gain hold of Aegon because as Renly says in GOT. "He who holds the King holds the Kingdoms." Both wanted to influence Aegon and mould him into their kind of ruler. They wanted their power and influence to continue at the expense of the other. Erryk wanted to go to the docks so Rhaenys could take a ship and go to Dragonstone and warn Rhaenyra. Rhaenys didn't want to leave her dragon Meleys. That's why she smirked; the gold cloaks were forcing her to where she wanted to go.
