It's not that there's any question whether Jace has Targaryen blood... His mother is Rhaenyra! It's more that he has an insecurity about being a bastard, but being a dragon rider gave him a validity that allowed him to remain in denial over that. Now that it's evident bastards can ride dragons, he has to confront that fact about himself and all the insecurities that come with it. Plus we where given the earlier scene between him and Baela, to establish that he thinks of Laenor as his father even though he knows it's really Harwyn. So there is the emotional impact of losing Laenor twice now.

[@grichkatayou7558]

What matters most is that now people can dispute his claim … the law is not that you have to be a Targaryen … the law is that your parents have to be WEDDED for you to be legitimate … This is not about modern society … that was purely logical … Rhaenyra is doing what her father did … SHE IS NOT THINKING AHEAD …

He cannot be the heir if he's a bastard.

When Vermithor hovers over the prospective dragons seeds, it actually looks like he eyes Hugh, and the does a little purr before setting everyone to the left of him on fire. I think he was just trying to get rid of everyone else and when he rampages, he’s just trying to find Hugh. That’s why when he finds Hugh, he doesn’t kill the other woman, because Hugh told him not to. I do think Valyrian blood is a requirement of claiming a dragon but I don’t think it’s the most important thing, I think the rider has to match the dragons spirit as well!

[@noluviwentandane4892]

@AtiotSiouy I agree, the dance of the dragons was epic. With Meleys and Sunfyre burning each other while they going down. I'm still pis@#d with Aemond's sneaky win with Vhagar. That was what a coward would do or fight. To me he didn't win at all, he took the little bit of sympathy I had for him out of the window. Meleys on the other hand fought fiercely until the end.

[@victorpradha9946]

What I liked about this scene was it showed dragons as being brutal and rather quick to kill, but also exercising a form of intelligent judgment. We saw dozens turned to ash or chomped to bits (or both) and yet Sea smoke and Vermithor and Silverwing PICK their riders.

[@CherryJuli]

I think this episode pretty clearly stated that you need to have Valyrian blood and basically have a very similar personality to the dragon to claim it. Hugh is ballsy just like Vermithor. Addam is a free spirit and restless, just like Seasmoke. Ulf is a tame friendly guy just like Silverwing.

[@martystrasinger3801]

Hugh is obviously related to vermithors last rider, daemons father. Had nothing to do with character so much, any claim requires confidence. A lot of foreshadowing was done in this episode. Yes Adam, Hugh, and every dragon seed has Targaryen blood. That’s literally the whole point of the episode.

Sister to Baelon Targaryen the father of Viserys and Daemon

[@mtsen771]

Considering that she fled to Lys at some point to pursue her "career" that seems very likely she could give birth to a bastard son, like Hugh during her stay. She was known to have at least 3 bastard sons, who sent their claims during the time of the Great Council. Wouldn't be surprising if she had at least one more, perhaps even Hugh being her firstborn before she made her wealth and prominence as a proprietor of prosperous Pleasure House of Volantis.

[@tahirhussain7099]

Every Dragon has a character trait they look for except being of Valyrian blood - Vhagar - Ruthlessness (like Visenvya/Aemond) - Caraxes - Fierceness (Daemon) - Seasmoke - Chill and Sealoving (Laenor/Adam) - Vermithor - Courage and Protectiveness (Jaeherys/Hugh) - Quicksilver - Easygoing (Alysanne/Ulf)

The logistics and danger in trying to claim one dragon is great on its own, but trying to claim a fully grown dragon who you’ve yet to bond with who is also the second largest dragon in the world is just not worth the risk. Dany was lucky to have birth 3 dragons and bonded with them.

Why didn’t they give Willem the option to take the black or to negotiate reparations? Everyone is glazing this as a power move from Oscar but why should the Blackwoods follow and side with Daemon and Oscar at this point? Haven’t we learned the lesson from Robb when he beheaded Rickard Karstark? The Blackwoods have one of the largest armies. If I was a smart writer I’d definitely have this hold some dire consequences for team black. Seems like the writers really want us to not like Daemon or to see him as a fool this season.

I found most of what happened in this episode to be thoroughly predictable. It was very clear (at least to me - but I think for everyone) who were going to be claiming dragons down in the pit. What I enjoy the most about these series’ and GOT is the unpredictable nature of the story, it leads the viewer to believe one thing and then pulls the rug from beneath you. So far this episode and the lead up to the final ep is lacking this.
