I almost thought they were gonna skip this whole part after the Darklyn , Alyn, thing. In order to not make Rhaenyra look bad like in the book. She looked so concerned about involving more nobles after Darklyn. Her son might have called them mongrels but Rhaenyra put all 50 in the pit and said good luck mongrels. 😂
Maegor had 6 different wifes and none of them became pregnant. The chance that he randomly had a bastard is far less than that kids mom just lying about his ancestry
She could have had a group of people similar to the dragon caretakers train them. Ofc those people train their whole life to calm the beasts, but she has 2 dragons and with them, time. She had time to make a quasi-competent dragon handling force which would also have time to train them (i say this bc of what happens after in the lore)
Criston Cole is that ex that can't seem to get over you many many years later. You can even see Alicent looking uncomfortable whoever Cole has his little outbursts. I'm looking forward to what they do with Otto.. I love that as he was being demoted he had a moment of clarity (Gob Arrested Development)... "I've made a huge mistake"
Just found your channel! Love it! I wondered how they got the bastards out of KL... Haven't the gates been barred? It's kinda annoying they cut scenes. Like Addam of Hull.. dragon chases him, next ep he has dragon yay? What do you think will be the climax of season 3?
Ahhh it’s my first time watching your podcast and I’m hooked!! I do see HOD going for 4 seasons . So much to dissect with the other characters. But great stuff guys! Yall are funny!
Do yall know how big the cities are in the actual lore? Kings Landing has over 1 MILLION PEOPLE. This isnt NYC 2024 with 5000000 cameras. And half the population is Blacks sympathizers. How are gaurds supposed to policr 1 milliom citizens with iron age technology? Show watchers really dont understand the actual sizes of Westeros kingdoms. Winterfell and the North in OG show and this seem decent in size. In the books the North can Muster 50,000 SOLDIERS ALONE PLUS 10,000 ON THE WALL. Winterfell IS MASSIVE. The North iS massive. But due to it being a show and budgets they can never truly depict these things. Kings landing is not this tiny keep. It is a massive multicultural metropolis. Dragonstone in reality is a titanic never before seen feat of architectural genuis. The entire castle is shaped like massive dragons in the actual lore. The Vale has 100,000 men standing army. In 2001 hijackers from 3rd world countries flew American planes into buildings. How did no one see it coming? With all the cameras and technologies. Now imagine you live in NYC, but in the Iron Age of Humaniy. 1 million people. No cars, buggies, phones etc etc. Very easy to do things
Do people watch and undertand sublte themes? Lorys Strong 10000% knew. He is underminding Aemond. So he is turning a blind eye. Just like NOT TELLING AEMOND ABOUT SEASMOKE. These are simple things guys. Not a plot hole. They smuggled them out because THE SMALLFOLK AND GOLD CLOAKS ARE SYMPATHIZERS TO THE BLACKS AND LORYS STRONG IS UNDERMINING AEMOND
Guys.....no. i know you dont read books, but all ill say is THINK 3 EYED RAVEN. Now paste that type of being onto Ms Rivers. Shes a warg. There u go. Just like Arya AND bran
Guys, read the books please. Targaeryns being only dragonriders is PROPOGANDA WRITTEN BY THEM BASED ON MYTH OF THEIR VALYRIA CIVILIZATION THAT WAS WIPED OUT IN A DAY. 40 Dragon house existed in Valyria. Targs were ONE OF THE WEAKEST. They used forbidden BLOOD MAGIC TO CHANGE THEIR DNA AND SPLICE IT WITH DRAGONS. It is 1000% alluded to, written etc, that the Targaryns being gods and dragons is MYTH. All the history of all maesters state clearly.....LET NO ONE PRESUME WE KNOW HOW DRAGON AND RIDER BOND. WE SHALL NOT SAT ANY MAN CAN MOUNT ONE AS A HORSE, BUT NONE KNOW THE BOND NEEDED.
I guess these guys havent read the books the way they speak of these "mystery". And you know what, i envy and also commend this. Its nice that you react only to show knowledge as it means mystery exists for these type of watchers. So due to that i wont spoil anything, but just say Ms Rivers is much more then just a WITCHY WOMAN. She is a warg, or along those lines. Like Bran and Blood Raven
White worm opens up about being SA as a child by her dad. The Queen another person in power takes advantage of her. That is a me too moment in the making. Thats why it made me fill icky.
i really hope we get to see Raena claim a dragon next episode!! Also i can totally see Ulf falling off his dragon or something lol he doesn't seem cut out for this life
Hugh’s mum was old king jacerys’s true born daughter. She was always bad and ended up running away and and worked in pleasure houses across the narrow sea.
Also if we are guessing possible deaths ( I haven’t read book so no spoilers) I think we will see dragon battle and I think Aemond will force Heleana to fight on Dreamfyre (already saw that in next week teaser) and I think she will die. OR Baela. OR Adam of Hull. I think we definitely get a death but I don’t think it will be one of the fantastic four. (Rhaenyra, Daemon, Alicent, Cole.)
I definitely think it was an accident Ulf flying over KL but also Rhaenyra was posted up at the perfect time with all her dragons 😅 so did she notice he was gone and was like ope gotta be ready because he may be getting chased by Vhagar LOL Whatever I try not to think about things too hard. Either way it gave me full body chills. Can’t wait until next week.
The lord douchebag on the greens council name is Jasper Wylde, of course it’s how GRRM spells wild 😂 but his nick name is ironrod for the amount of kids he has “sired” which is around 26-29 kids
No spoilers just important bastard information. Bastards in westeros only have the bastard last name if their father has said hey thats my bastard.. then they become snow, sand, rivers, waters, pike etc. Addam of hull literally means addam who is from hull, the town. If corlys recognized him as his bastard he'd be addam waters and if corlys legitimized him he'd be addam velaryon.
Ulf flying over king's landing was NOT part of any kind of plan to draw out Aemond. I think it was clear that it was one of two things. The first is just that Kings Landing is where Silverwing just happened to take Ulf on their first joyride as Barrett hinted to. Or the reason in my opinion, was that one of Ulf's first thoughts was that he wanted to fly over kings landing in hopes that his drunk friends will somehow see him and he can show off his new dragon/ prove once and for all he is indeed a Targaryen.
Agreed. It looks like Rhaenyra and Ulf are still covered in ash or dirt right after Vermithor toasted all the potential seeds. If she was expecting this she would have been on dragonback but I think she was outside waiting to see if Silverwing came back and who the rider was. Also did not see Jace and Baela and their dragons. It definitely looked like a joyride that just happened after he got on Silverwing's back, just like young Aemond had with Vhagar.
