Looked better in Season 1, more unique at least than discount Jon Snow

[@cloverazar5315]

Is it weird to complement someone on an ad? Doing it anyways, I died laughing

[@jacksparrow9227]

It’s been 10 days do they really expect us to believe Jace and Daemon’s hair grew a foot?

[@jacksparrow9227]

Hunting Grumpkins and Snarks in the woods, incredibly therapeutic

[@jacksparrow9227]

Crossbow is dumb

[@Slithe99]

Cregan Stark challenging Jace to prove his valor in a lumberjack contest sounds like an absolute banger of an episode *edit* too bad it was only 1 short scene

[@ThommyofThenn]

Has that "age of heroes" vibe. Like a legendary heroic challenge more than a grimdark thing

[@afrophoenix3111]

Unexpected Paul Bunyon mythology in Westeros. I'm here for it.

[@ThommyofThenn]

@@afrophoenix3111 it really works doesn't it?!

[@Sisyphus-rq5ew]

Thank goodness for our strong prince 💪

[@fmgmack]

@@Sisyphus-rq5ew😭😭😭

[@seabassy2594]

Rhaegar having a powerpoint on taking back Westeros somehow feels cannon

[@cherylbaxter8986]

I luv it when Rhaegar pops in on the video

[@DavidLightbringer]

it's a lot of fun to try to figure out what is in character for reading Rhaegar. He's charming, but more than a little delusional. well read, but not necessarily the books he should have read. he has grand plans, but he also doesn't pay rent just yet hahaha

[@haymaker710]

You should see his excel sheet.

[@Gigipretty64]

@@DavidLightbringeryou should get Rhaegar out busking to earn his keep!

[@KaritKtana]

[@The_Savvy_Satyr]

Baela is quickly becoming my favourite Targaryen and Moondancer is one gorgeous dragon.

[@panic_2001]

This deleted scene changed a lot for me: Baela grew up with her grandparents on Driftmark, so she rarely had contact with Team Black for many years. Which side is she on? The deleted scene provides clarity.

[@jessjess23brooks89]

They need to release a director's cut.

[@janellejulianajoy]

Baela would NEVER go against her father. She's his mini-me.

[@AnnaP-vw4yw]

​@janellejulianajoy In every way possible 😂

[@wyvern723]

"Women with swords and women with base guitars... It's good energy." Good man!

[@sclafantasy]

The acting first season was excellent and seems like they are gonna keep the party going in season 2. We gonna eat well these next two months.

[@ThommyofThenn]

A Feast For Nerds 🤓

[@WatashiMachineFullCycle]

Oh my gosh I've never seen that cut clip between Baela and Rhaenys, like I knew it existed but I didn't know it was uploaded That last line hit so hard I IMMEDIATELY teared up, I can't believe they cut it

[@DavidLightbringer]

It really is a great scene

[@hypatiakovalevskayasklodow9195]

I watched it a few times and as soon as i saw one frame from it, i teared up

[@mochrimek]

i’m really excited to see how they expand on Baela and Jace this upcoming season because i feel like we didn’t get a chance to get to know the kids of Team Black ❤

[@HaldirMark]

Your in-vid ads are really pleasantly "intrusive". You got the formula right for these. I watch every one.

[@buffysummers7887]

it's amazing how just a teeny tiny snippet of Baela coursing Cripsy & Co into that stand of trees can have a person feeling so very teehee

[@cosmicriptid]

The idea of leaving dragon eggs at Winterfell, and then also having the rumor about Jace possibly leaving a bastard child at Winterfell, makes me think it is certainly something. A dragon egg. Dragon seed. George wouldn't have mentioned it even once probably, but with two stories of similar nature, it absolutely means something dragon was left behind at Winterfell.

[@Inlandexile]

EXCELLENT ad integration - thank you for the extra work it takes to make these entertaining! 😅

[@ThommyofThenn]

By far the best integrated adverts of any channel i watch. There's a history channel where the creator plays a 1700s British Army officer character in his ads which is very funny to me. But LML's Rhaegar character is such a beautiful mix of lovingly poking fun at some of grrm's characterisation and lore-informed humour that is highly rewarding for both the show enjoyer and the long-term book nerds. Truly the goat

[@buffysummers7887]

Just thinking about when I first read of Baela & Rhaena at the Maiden's Day Ball years ago, and how cool & interesting they seemed, and it never occurred to me that I'd ever get to hear more of their unique stories....and here we are. I'm so stoked House of the Dragon exists so some variation of these tales can be fleshed out!

[@NotoriousTim]

The HOTD hype train is going huge right now. So excited and your videos are the perfect thing to prep with.

[@spicypizza6116]

21:48 Damnit! I’ve got tears. They shouldn’t have cut that scene.

[@DavidLightbringer]

so good right?

[@LunaMoon0]

the funny thing is that in German they couldn't translate “strong” directly because that would mean “stark” so they translated it as strength.

[@moondevell]

That's funny

[@TheResidentPsycho]

Same in danish - it looks the same "stærk"

[@marrymikeymcbee6832]

To the health of my nephews... each of them handsome, wise' [looks nervously at palm] 'Strength?'

[@psychedelicpegasus7587]

I doubt GRRM did that by accident.

[@Inzanti]

Jacela is the name. I'm excited to see what they do with them!

[@lunacascade1125]

Excellent character analysis & theories ❤ Thanks David

[@DavidLightbringer]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

[@doctorajaguar]

Hahaha I feel like Jace's hair is looking like his daddy Breakbones.

[@deldel5204]

Baela, Daemons second favorite person.

[@queenxx1690]

After his brother

[@Virgohorrorqueen1980]

It is definitely implied that she's his favorite child. Especially if rumors are true when it comes to what Daemon entrusts her with.

[@davimathias6721]

​@@queenxx1690After himself

[@curtthechameleon]

Valar Morgulis David. Thanks for the good content. Also, Jace and Cregan are what I'm looking forward to most. Besides Grandpa Vermie.

[@cherylbaxter8986]

I luv how Jaecerys is a gentleman polite i luv how Baela an Raena all get along an luv their family yes him an Baela would be great king an qween,i luv how Rhaegar pops in for a talk always gives me a laugh

[@ThommyofThenn]

13:30 Let's not forget Craster vaulting the table when the defeated NW is demanding he give up the hams. It's really a terrifying chapter but it stands out for me here as one of those asoiaf moments where chaos erupts and sometimes unintentionally funny things happen as a result. The image of Craster jumping on the table, getting immediately stabbed and falling over onto a wounded guy is such a moment. Horrible and traumatizing but very nearly slapstick at the same time

[@HamKatGreenThumb]

I have a thought regarding Sara Snow: Based on your theory that Aegon shared his dream with Brandon Snow first, who then convinced Torrhen to kneel... What if they use Sara for the same purpose? She is at Winterfell when Jace arrives, and maybe Sara is more inclined to history/prophecy/magick a la Brandon Snow. Sara believes Jace when he tells of Aegon's prophecy, and convinces her brother Cregan that Jace is telling the truth. No need for a major romantic connection, maybe a friendship or crush. Maybe?

[@DavidLightbringer]

yes that's a creative idea, I like it

[@HamKatGreenThumb]

​@@DavidLightbringer Thanks! We shall see how it happens. Feel free to expand on this if it feels right as we enter Season 2. My name is Katie aka HamKat (ham+cat) for credit, please and thanks!

David, you are truly one of the best at talking about this world.. You made me miss Jon Snow so much. I can't wait any longer for the season to begin, luckily we have your videos. 🔥💜

[@laurelsilberman5705]

I find it kind of campy that when they fight at dinner, Aemond, yes older, yes stronger, pushes Jace to the floor like he’s a fucking ragdoll😂 the actor does a great job of making it look natural, it just gives Aemond one punch man vibes when you think about it for a second😂

[@_BlackSummer]

You don’t know how much I needed this vid today.

Wow. Thanks for bringing it all together. Awesome video David.

[@suzymenard9049]

YASS I am alllll about that Jon Snow hair. Thanks for the vid, David! I actually found you quite recently and have gobbled up a LOT of your content since then. And, being someone who only has watched GOT & HOTD (trying to get through the Cosmere before I take on ASOIAF 🙃), it's been so nice being able to deep dive into all of the Planetos lore/mythos/theories/themes before reading ASOIAF--all thanks to you! ♥

[@cosmicriptid]

They've already been my two favorite characters in Fire and Blood.

[@willforan9670]

I’m loving all the praise for your ads, it’s well deserved! Thanks for the video, David ❤️‍🔥 🗡️

Can’t wait to see more Baela I hope the show expands on Rhaena and her struggling to get a dragon

[@Orphoid]

3:27 if you think about it, with Baela Living on Dragonstone, and Dany setting up base there. It might be the same dress, 150 years later

[@Goldenaerrows]

I love Baela and Rhaena’s Arya and Sansa parallels

[@ThommyofThenn]

"Are you at Illyrio's house?"😂 Edit: thanks for including excerpts from cast interviews. I usually skip that sort of thing, so I'm very happy to hear the cast is familiar with the book. I remember this old interview with the GoT cast, where they were all asked if they had read the series. I believe only Kit had read them all at that point, and I remember being a little bummed to hear so many of the cast hadn't read them at all. Luckily the show writing at that point was still heavily adapted directly from the books so the performances reflected that. As such, i'm extremely optimistic for HOTD S2, especially seeing the younger cast getting excited from reading the book. It's always great to see young people reading more, but in this context, it is simply epic!

[@christypassy]

I barely survived Milly Alcock being replaced and she was only there for 4 or 5 episodes. How am I going to handle losing both Jace and Baela actors after spending a lot more time with them on the show😪The fact that most of them die is just so tragic!

[@DavidLightbringer]

Baela doesn't die though

[@christypassy]

@@DavidLightbringer yeah I know 🤗 I wrote most of them not all of them.

[@omgzfuup]

Proper fkn vid my brada.Loved it ,freaking pro in this ice & fire game 💯. Thnx 4 tha prep of seas. 2 hell yeah.

[@bellowl]

OK - I'm sold. When the algorithm first put this channel on my radar, to be honest I didn't think it was for me. There are so many KZbin channels out there and sometimes we judge on how a person presents themselves, their basic sense of humour, a glimpse of how legit the content creator is with their knowledge of the source material. So, at first glance, I just wasn't that interested. Anyway, because I often fall asleep with videos playing I ended up seeing a lot more (and the algorithm kept giving me more) and your content has won me over. I've definitely warmed to you as a creator/presenter and your depth of knowledge speaks for itself, plus getting name-dropped by other KZbinrs sparked further interest. So I am now a Subscriber - I'm sure you'll be thrilled. Looking forward to all the new HotD content coming out. Now a question (that I'll probably ignore the answer to) - I read all of the ASOIAF books after watching GoT (several times) but that's all that I've read. I watched HotD when it came out and again very recently in anticipation of Season 2. The question is: Will reading Fire & Blood ruin the TV show for me?

[@rudzanimunyai2090]

I’m so glad they’ve fixed the wigs, I couldn’t take the sisters seriously last season

[@Phoenixonfire31]

Omg READING RHAEGAR that is epic I want one!

[@genlob]

Jace is going to deal with his grief by praising Garth with Cregan in the hot pools at Winterfell. Possibly start a glam rock band with a bard from north of the wall, as well. That's what I'd do if my brother was eaten by a dragon.

[@DavidLightbringer]

great call

[@lordofthehouseofstormcrows8615]

Oh lord, hearing the actor who plays Jacaerys say that him and Baela mature...has love scenes popping in my mind...hopefully they make it worth it. Keep up the great work Lord Beers. You're the best and only channel I watch about ASOIAF. Ok I lied, GrayArea is the $hizz as well. P.S. if ya know anyone wanting some Land of Always Winter buds...I know a Lysene prostitute you need to see, bring extra gold dragons...😮

[@antliveyabish9555]

29:18 any idea who the narrow faced knight is here? He looks to be a hard man but his armour and proximity to the royal fam seems to indicate he is KG

[@maleekatullar6866]

Loving the buzz cut ❤

[@efrent-vr3bm]

Baela and Rhaenys scene, about 1 min, they should have put it in, great scene. Battle over Dragonstone, Moondancer v Sunfyre 41:50 Also. I don't believe Darksister was originally wielded by Visenya. Like Blackfyre, both were at least 85 years old, since as far as we know they were both forged before the doom.

[@DavidLightbringer]

That's true, for sure. but we just don't have their names

[@andrewwulfking4566]

[@afrophoenix3111]

All the cut content shown, but especially 21:45 and _emphatically_ 22:08 were deeeeeeep cuts. It's a shame it all hit the cutting room floor; hopefully that means the final cut is that much above and beyond.

[@amirhad6594]

Baela might be on Gullet patrol duty with Rhaenys. That would make sense.

[@anorangetabby]

Bob Jlow! The new Westerosi power couple.

[@hypatiakovalevskayasklodow9195]

I guess it's the last moment to have another reread of F&B before the new season! Time is running out and my Max provider where I live has some issues so I might be going off of internet for a while to avoid spoilers We call it game night, my husband plays his game and I read to him F&B out loud, and sometimes he asks me to explain something cause he is only half listening ofc, and every few minutes he asks "Where's my man Mushroom? Where's my gay bro?". I try to read unbiased and with a flat tone, but still he loves Mushroom and he kept asking me during the show why there's no Mushroom and will he be in the next episode 🤣 Hope this useless long comment helps with the al gore rhythm

Spoiler warning for season 3 . . . . . I hope they expand on the Battle of the Gullet, and Jace doesn't just go out like a chump, maybe he can be escorting Aegon and Stormcloud back to Dragonstone and constantly taking hits for them which is what does him in.

[@danieldybka7065]

Maybe the "dragon laying an egg at Winterfell" was this deal that didn't really do much for the war. Cregan was a latecomer and his heir never wed a Targ. Jace really laid an egg up at Winterfell

[@leannepowell8709]

The best ads ever on KZbin 😂

[@lemoon01]

The dragon eggs at Winterfell could be foreshadowing Viserion’s resurrection if they fight at Winterfell, and Jon’s resurrection in Winds of Winter
