[@neonoires]

People were so pissed about neither of them having control of the dragons but I think you both hit the nail on the head. Vhagar is a battle dragon, she and her rider were burned so she reacted. Also dragons are bonded with the rider so they can sense the emotions. I think that it's a good point to make about animal consciousness and human intellect. Arrax and Vhagar both knew that Luke and Aemond were upset but they didn't know the complexities of what their actions would cost. Aemond chasing Luke on Vhagar could have just made her think he wanted to attack him and not just scare him. Arrax getting chased and sensing how upset Luke was made him defend Luke. So like Vanessa said, Aemond shouldn't have chased Luke. I doubt Viserys had "the talk" with Aemond about humans and dragons because he definitely underestimated Vhagar in that moment and thought he was in more control. Edit: I forgot to mention the birthing scenes and the cuts to Syrax roaring. There was also a situation when Daemon got burned in the Stepstones and Caraxes was screaming as if he was in pain.

[@marcarroyo6883]

Also if you watch again, it sounds like Aemond panicked and spoke english to Vhagar and not Valyrian. Maybe that's another reason

[@Firebird1968]

Also Aemond isn't a trained dragon rider. Sure he can get on it and fly around but he isn't a combat experienced rider. Neither of them were. Its like getting a drag car as your first car. You might be able to move it around the driveway or drive it down the street but when it comes to doing its intended purpose he has zero experience and control over it. They even mention in the episode none of them have ever been to war or used dragons in such a way. The only one on the show who does is Daemon in the step stones.

[@nancyscogin7549]

I feel so badly for Luke's betrothed. She really liked him. I got a kick of watching their interactions over the past few episodes when they weren't the focus of the scene. It's like the four cousins bonded when kids wailing on Aemon. 😆

I'll make the point that Rhaenyra picked up on was that Daemon was really angry moreso with Viserys not telling him about Aegon the Conqueror's Dream, even though he was heir for ten years before Rhaenyra got named. Daemon took it as another symbol of rejection from his brother that he never really considered him as his successor.

I felt like luke lost control of arrax the moment they took off because he was very nervous before they took off and he barely listened to luke when he was telling him to turn, arrax felt threatened by vhagar and he attacked her on the other hand vhagar was following aemond's orders at first just teasing luke and arrax because when you look back at it she had two chances to easily kill them but didn't until arrax attacked and there her instinct kicked in and decided to end them, viserys was right, targaryens are fools if they think they can fully control dragons one small mistake and they go wild just like we saw

[@uhrrrrrangels]

Totally agree. Thats why to me he should have tried to go back to Lord Baratheon to stay the night and probably baratheon be able to shoo away Aemond. I mean yeah aemond wants to fight but he is still alone, he could be restrained until at least Luke was safe in a room or what

[@parthsahu8909]

I am sure the kid was scared af, and just wanted to run away. He wouldn't trust anyone there and he would think that he might be killed off if he stays. Also he might be hoping that he won't come after him once he flies off. It's mostly his kid instinct kicked,and he probably wanted to run back to safe place back to his mother.

[@charki40]

Agree, but think that Daemond had something to do with it when he went to the biggest Dragons lair and sung a connection with it. He did say earlier he would rather feed his sons to a dragon than bend the knee. A foreboding of his intent. Behind the scenes he wanted a war footing and created it. Now we have the Dance of the Dragons. War.

[@charki40]

What Dragon is it because its bigger than Vhagar. Luke and Aemond both lost control of their dragons. Then when Luke is clear up above the clouds, Vhagar attacked despite Aemond saying NO NO..to Vahgar. This is what starts the Dance of the Dragons. Which is what Daemond wants. War. Watch it again ok. Look at context of the episode. As I said Daemond said Id rather feed my sons to a dragon than bend the knee when they confronted the Hand Hightower. And he feed a son. A stepson. Luke. I may be utterly wrong but... its a great episode. I loved it.

[@datguy3581]

Aemond is still responsible for Lucerys' death even though he didn't intend to kill him. He chased after him with his dragon and attempted to intimidate him. And then things got out of hand. It's similar to what happened years ago when Lucerys and Aemond were kids. Aemond picked a fight and it got out of hand beyond what he intended.

[@brianalex5083]

[@Rocket1377]

True, although in both situations it wasn't Aemond who resorted to violence. If Luke had stayed and fought Aemond on the ground and not run away, Aemond wouldn't have chased him, and Luke's dragon attacked first.

[@MayhapsYes]

@@Rocket1377 stop blaming the victim.

[@howfire]

​@@Rocket1377 In both situations Aemond resorted to violence. Why would he stayed and fight despite Luke saying he was just a messenger and couldn't take part in any fighting, Aemond kept chasing and antagonizing him with Vhagar, including attacking first. In the POV of Luke he definitely must get out there asap, he cant trust anyone there, and he is no match to Aemond. You say about not being chased, but it happened because Aemond desire to harm and terrorize Luke. At the time they fought Luke was just a small child that act by impulse, fear and rage to protect his brother and himself not knowing exactly the consequences of his attack would do to Aemond (not saying what he did was right). Aemond escalated the fight spitting insults, threatening the boys with a brutal death, picking up a rock, aiming it and choking Luke. Unfortunately, the accident was a permanent damage to Aemond. But Aemond himself said, when he claimed Vaghar, that was a fair trade "a eye for a dragon", accepting the thing. He is denying his words now. In Stormlands we got a spiteful, bitter and coward young men who was threatening and terrifying a child and Arrax (a very young dragon) hysterically with an ancient predator, the largest dragon alive, (it's like threatening a pedestrian with a car or toying with a gun) chasing the boy mid fly during a raging storm and attacking 4 times so he can satisfy his frustration. Dragons don't understand sport and jest and to think a dragon wouldn't attack in response to a threat on his life is not just insane, Arrax, like a animal, felt cornered and panicked acting on instinct and terror. And now because of his imprudence Aemond is a kinslayer. And so the dance begins.

Aemond did understand that. He wasn't trying to kill Luke, just wound him, to repay him for his eye. He challenged him to a man-to-man fight, which Luke ran away from. It was also the dragon who killed the dragon, not Aemond who killed Luke.

This episode's conclusion in a nutshell:- Aemond : "Hey Nuclear missile. I'm ordering you to destroy just City A, and not do any destruction to City B, just nearby it. I only want to send a message!" Nuclear Missile : "Um.....that's not how we work" Aemond : "I know that, but I'm ordering you not do it that way, so you just send a message. (In High Valeryian...)You work for me and are loyal to me!" Nuclear Missile : "Ooookay....." (**Nuclear missle wipes out City A. Nuclear fallout from the explosion wipes out City B.......City C,....City D......and City W.....***) Aemond : "Ooh....er............" You can't use dragons to flex. This is what happens when you use uncontrollable weapons of mass destruction to flex.

A mother's fiery can be dangerous and the look she had on her face in the last shot was giving me Mad Queen vibes 😱

I mean, Aemond kind of got what he wanted but I don't think he was really trying to kill Luke. But it was at that moment, he knew that he messed up. As in: "Oh fuck, What did I just do?!" He basically was the spark to the match of war now. Both parties tried to end things peacefully but now, shit just got real and fast.

[@breakbones47]

Aemond was just looking to bully Luke but as is the case when you try to do things like that sometimes you go too far even if it’s accidental 😢

[@Rocket1377]

He wasn't trying to bully him, Aemond wanted a one-on-one duel so he could get revenge for Luke blinding him in one eye. Let's not forget that when they were younger Luke bullied Aemond.

[@ricmcloughlin3336]

@@Rocket1377 nope his brother did

[@atypical1242]

I think Aemond will own it. Like Jamie with Kingslaying. He knew the actual context but let people think the worst because while he was hated he was also feared. I think it’ll low key eat at Aemond too at least in the beginning but I see him eventually wearing it as a badge of ‘honor’.

The dragon daemon was singing to was vermithor for anyone wondering

[@TyrannosavageRekt]

I somewhat questioned the necessity of the two scenes prior to this episode with the Silent Sisters wrapping the bodies of Vaemond & Viserys, but it ends up adding a great deal to this episode and the scene that shows Rhaenyra making the effort to wrap the body of her stillborn child herself.

People surprised Daemon choked Rhaeynra. He did smash his first wife’s head in with a rock

[@daniellylima5568]

The translation has been confirmed thanks to the language's creator, David J. Peterson (via Archive Of Our Own). In it, it is revealed that the name of the song Daemon sings to Vermithor is "With Three Heads". Check the English translation: Fire breathes, winged leader but two heads For a third to sing From my voice: The fires spoke And the price has been paid with blood magic With words of fire with clear eyes To tie the three for you i sing As one we come together And with three heads We'll fly like we were meant to beautifully, freely In the book Aemond he kills Luke and because he wanted not to and as he is showing in the series that he is sorry, the name of Rhaenyra's baby would be a girl and her name would be visenya In the book Aemond he kills Luke because he wants to and when he gets home he celebrates and Aegon and alicent they celebrate luke's death different from the series they put it as an accident that the Two lost control of the dragons in the book there is no such thing as losing control of the dragons they spoiled everything in the series but anyway Aemond killed Luke he could have prevented it It was just him not following Luke but that asshole Aemond went after the kid now he's going to bear all the consequences now l' m wondering how they are they going to do this in the series because in the book the greens are all happy with luke's death for alicent, aegon and even aemond so i'm wondering how they are going to do it in the series because the writers put it as if it was an accident and that aemond didn't wanted to kill Luke unlike the book where he kills Luke because he wants to, I didn't like that much they did it just to make people feel sorry for the greens in my opinion, In the book Aemond kills Luke because he wanted to kill Luke different from the series that showed that it was an "Accident" but depending on how Aemond was and blamed for Luke's death he could have avoided it An example was just he didn 't follow Luke then he wouldn't kill Luke anymore like Aemond is a donkey, imbecile is an idiot he did shit and now the greens will pay for everything they did Rhaenyra wasn't dreaming of a dragon giving birth. Her own dragon, Syrax, was screaming in pain at her because they are so bonded. If you notice during the Battle of the Stepstones, Caraxes screams when Daemon is hit by an arrow. this shows how Rhaenyra and Daemon have a great connection with their dragons. Rhaenyra's anger burns the whole transition was so well done, her anger is completely justified compared to how they made Daenarys Daemon as crazy as it gets, he loved his brother. From the scene where he stopped Corlis talking shit about Viserys in ep 1, helping on the throne to mourning on the beach. I don't think Daemon wanted to show weakness because Rhaenyra was at her most vulnerable and it wasn't easy.. (His last wife died in childbirth, and I believe it is also said that his mother died in childbirth and the wife of Viserys died in childbirth.) So the only thing he could do was prepare for the war he knew was coming. The scene on the beach was much longer of him on the beach Matt the actor he shot a scene on the beach the daemon suffering from the death of his baby who was a girl and her name was the series visenya but HBO preferred to remove this scene the daemon he is not no saint anymore he loves his family he loves his children and really rhaenyra just unfortunately the writers prefer not to show that side of him much, i think the reason daemon didnt go to rhaenyra when she was giving birth is because he feared having to make an impossible choice. The last woman he had complications with died. He didn't want to have to make that choice for Rhaenyra. He couldn't lose her that way. When he dropped to his knees, he was relieved that she was okay and had survived. Rhaenyra didn't want help during the birth because of her mother's death. She wanted to get that baby out so she wouldn't suffer the same fate. This series/book is awesome... Matt Smith said that Daemon would give his life for Viserys and Rhaenyra. I fully believe he was heartbroken to see his brother in that condition. we books Alicent she hates Rhaenyra she was always jealous of Rhaenyra so much that I wish rhaenyra's death no and as in the series it shows that alicent is like that and because we books she does things because she because she is a bad person Let's see the losses Rhaenyra lost mother and father and daughter and son and Daemon lost father and mother in childbirth and also lost his wife who is Laena and son and now he lost brother and daughter and two other children They are suffering, but each one of their own ways, the daemon starts preparing for war because he knows Otto very well and he is afraid of losing his family One thing I say is that the two really love each other rhaenyra she can't survive without the daemon They are the best couple like it or not they are everyone's popular Daemyra forever Emma Darcy who plays Rhaenyra she says that the daemon never laid a hand on Rhaenyra that this was the first time that Rhaenyra her character didn't care much because she knows that the daemon did that and Because he's angry and he's letting his emotion out and she also says which character of hers cares the most about what she just found out that the daemon doesn't know about prophecy because Rhaenyra I thought the daemon knew because he was heir to viserys for 10 years that's why she put a smile on the side of her mouth because she just found out that her father always chose her and Rhaenyra had her doubts if her father wanted her as heir remembers episode 2 when Rhaenyra talks to Alicent poise now after years he got her answer The daemon must be sad because it's his brother and he just found out that he was never chosen and that brother never trusted him enough to tell him and that's more heartbreaking A script for the first season came out that HBO thought of putting in the story a scene that the viserys was thinking of telling the daemon then he starts talking to the daemon but then gives up only that they They didn't put this scene unfortunately I think the biggest reason people didn't like the scene of Daemon smothering Rhaenyra is because he's supposed to be a bad guy to the greens, but the protector of his family. Daemon isn't a saint, but he's definitely not a villain. He does a lot of bad things, but he's a gray character, and loving his family and protecting them is one of his redeeming qualities and some writers are trying to take that away from him. There are two teams, the Green Team that belongs to Alicent and the Black Team that belongs to Rhaenyra, I hope to see Rhaenyra with fire in her eyes in the second season, The Greens will pay for everything they did

[@halicarnassus8235]

When he grabbed Rhaenera by the neck like that I'm sure myself in a lot of viewers were like , " umm no bueno" bruh. If you love your niece so much makes me wonder how you handled your cousin Laena behind closed doors.

I think that was more moment of frustration.. Not a think that was happening all the time

Agreed, Daemon choking Rhaenyra is fucked, but Rhaenyra also reacted with shock like she never expected him to put his hands on her at all, and she focused on the heir thing that he was actually mad at.

Aemond didn't speak to Vhagar in Valerian properly while giving her commands I noticed, there was alot of English... While Luke managed to get Arrax under control after the fire incident, it was still too late unfortunately! BUT Dragons aren't slaves and Vhagar was doing what she does best, battle!

Raehnyra's son was there as a messenger and messenger are not attacked. And certainly absolutely not when they are royal blood. It's that simple. Neither an eye for an eye nor for fun or anything else. He started the war with it. No idea what the two are talking about here, but that was an open declaration of war.
