ABSOLUTELY DISTURBING🩸🧀 House of The Dragon 2x1 "A Son for a Son" | First Time Reaction & Review🐉 

LFG! 🤩🐉 We love the entire GoT and HOTD universe and are so excited to finally jump into this with y’all. If you want to see the longer, unedited version of this reaction then check it out on our Patreon and consider joining our amazing community! www.patreon.com/meeshanddee Are you Team Black 🖤 or Team Green?! 💚 -M&D 💘

the path that Helaena takes to get to Alicent's room is the same way that Rhaenyra took to get to Alicent's room right after she had her baby but in reverse (Helaena starts in the Queen's room, Alicent is in Rhaenyra's old room)

Notice how when Helaena said “the rats” she looked directly at her sons crib

They asked daemon what to do when they couldn't find Aemond, later you hear the gold cloak say "a son for a son" so basically that was plan B

It’s funny when everyone is thinking “where are the guards?” Then it’s like, welp there he is 😅😂

Fun Fact: Rhaenyra saying " I want Aemond Targaryen" is the only line that she has in this episode. Emma is giving it their all as the role of a grieving mother.

RHAENYRA ONLY HAD ONE LINE BUT SHE CARRIED THE EPISODE (i love the new bg btw)

I read a comment that, remember the clubfoot guy also purged the castle of staff and guards not 100% loyal, so that bit them in the butt in the end

Why does Blood have the most insane voice I think I have ever heard come from a human being?

this was a good episode. 1. we see Nyra and her dragon grieve as they both lost a child. 2. Haelaena predicts what happens, she actually whispers under her breathe " They just want the boy." as she sows his funeral item. The rats was the obvious call out. 3. Cole ends up being the boy toy for alicent after he talks all that shi about Nyra in season 1 for doing what she did lol 4. Aegon isn't fit to rule since Viserys never meant for him to rule, so Aegon desperately wanted to teach Jaeharys how to rule. 5. Daemon told B&C a son for a son, if Aemond isn't there then any son of my Kin will do.

In the books Blood and Cheese scene it’s actually much more brutal. The story in the books: Helaena had 2 twin children, Jaehaerys and Jaehaera, and a younger son, Maelor, who was 2-3 years old. Blood and Cheese grabbed the two sons said that she had to choose one of them to die, even though Helaena pleaded them to kill her instead. In the end, she called Maelor, who was the youngest. Cheese whispered to his ear: Your mama wants you dead. And immediately Blood kills the eldest, Jaehaerys. She screamed in horror and despair.

Aegon is gonna breakdown losing his son. I can't wait to see a new side of him come out.

They have confirmed that they are adapting the "a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" books. This is a series of novellas that is set around 100 years after House of the Dragon, but also focuses on the Targaryen family.

Damon told them " a son for a son". Jeaherys was the backup plan in case they couldn't find aemond.

Criston really is the biggest simp in all of TV. Even the dude that was hanging on to Daenerys's leg wasnt that much of a friend zoned simp 🤣

As a King's Guard, Cole is horrible at "protection." He failed in his protection of Helaena and her children all the while failing to use "protection" with her mom at the same time.

The Stark music in the beginning got me right in the feels!

2:56 HOD Opening: The tapestry of Targaryen history. Ancient valyrians practicing magic Daenys dream of the fall The fall of Valyria Aegon and his sisters flying over Westeros Harren the black Conquest of Harrenhal and the Field of Fire The North, The Riverlands and The Eyrie bending the knee without a fight House Targaryen established as the Rulers of Westeros The construction of the Red Keep The death of Maegor the Cruel King Jahaerys the Conciliator and Queen Alysanne Old King Jahaerys at the Great Council of Harrenhal (Viserys I nomination to the Thorne) The court of Viserys I split between Alicent and Rhaenyra Aegon II vs Rhaenyra I Lucerys death.

Jace is the only one of Laenors kids (harwins) that got the Targaryen surname due to the agreement with viserys and corlys and rhaenys last season

Alicent lighting the candles was such a cool callback to when alicent and rhynaera did it for her mum and little brother❤😢

They brought the dog with them because there are dogs that are bred to catch rats (e.g., Rat Terriers), so it's for keeping up appearances as rat catchers.

I like that Aegon actually was interested in helping the smallfolk and petitioners. He actually cares about the common people.

Cheese did ask Daemon, "What if we can find him?" And Daemon just smirked. Trust the book version 100x worse. Lol. The kids are awake while Heleena choses. Also, youre in a very small minority thinking GOT season 8 ended well. Lol. So excited for this season!!

I feel Larys Strong knows everything in the Castle by talking to the rats or some because after last season aswell they were showing rats every important scenes and now they’re even more and we never saw he talked to someone or has someone to spy others and he does look like rat 😂

"We'd never have wars if women were in charge" Watching HOTD: "yeaaaa so about that" 🤣and rofl at Alicent's hypocrisy. She's sitting there having a hissy over rhaenyra having a fling with a knight and here she is getting her carpet munched and riding him like a bull.

I think half of the guards were getting drunk with Aegon and Cole was doing his thing with Allicent. Wonder if they will get blamed. The greens are about to get much more serious I think

Was looking forward to your reactions! Thank you for blessing us ❤

The music theme at the very start is the Stark theme, Goodbye Brother.

For me, Season 2 Episode 1 was a nice introduction to showing Aegon transitioning into his King role. We see Aegon talking to the smallfolk in a very (unexpected) sincere manner, but then see his grandsire Otto take over to advise the King, which shows the viewers very nicely that Aegon is still learning the ropes and there is much yet to still to learn as King. It also shows his age that he is a very new and young King. Rhaenyra would have handled it much better because she actually got the active learning from her father King Viserys. But, Aegon was not afforded the same treatment as we know. Viserys - I think BOTH sides at least agree on this one thing - was the most one-sided, biased and useless father. 😅 But then, later we see Aegon drunk and joking around on the Iron Throne, and Blood and Cheese manage to get past him because he is far too drunk to even notice. But, I thought that was a nice touch in the show, because we see that despite him being the King now, he maybe hasn't left his full vices behind and is still acting goofy which a war is looming and he really needs to get his act together. But, then you see other snippets like Aegon taking his son into a Council meeting and actually bonding with him and smiling so warmly at him from the other side of the table (no like, REALLY smiling at him where the smile reaches his eyes and for Aegon that is unknown). You see Aegon caring for his own son the way King Viserys did not try with him, and we see that despite the 99 bad things Aegon has done, the 1 good thing is that perhaps he is a more serious father than King Viserys was to him, Aemond and Haelena. We see that despite Aegon's flaws, he is at least trying to get this one thing right of being a better more fair father. But, I think the drunken scene with Blood and Cheese from episode 1, is this defining moment onwards which is going to change him indefinitely. I mean, going by the new trailer for episode 2, Aegon screams in madness, "I will kill them all. I declare a war." My theory is that this is the kick up the ass he needed and where we shall see that he finally learns that it is now time to put the past behind him and the fun has got to stop. Maybe, it is the death of his child which is the kick up the ass he needed to get him more serious as the role of a King. Which if you have read the books, he survives it. But, of course, TV series can differ vastly from the books... so let's see the creative direction the showrunners, producers, directors, writers decide to roll with. I think Aegon's character development is going to be the most interesting to witness. A bit like Sansa in GOT where we see her as a childish brat and then she just surprises everyone. I am sooooo excited for Season 2 😭😭😭🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 As for Haelena, it wasn't emotionless at all. Haelena is definitely having a panic attack. Some people do that. Not everyone has a fight in them, some people have a flight response. I should know. I have also behaved like that where I could not breathe, and it is a rapid, intense, and violent feeling, and the breathing is still going but you also feel stumped in fear 😢💔 Not every character has to be into fighting and hot-tempered like Aemond, Daemon and Aegon and that's what makes a show better where you have different personalities. But the last sex scene between Alicent and Ser Criston Cole was annoyingly unnecessary. They should have just let the scene fade to black just like the Red Wedding. It should have faded to black with only the sick sounds of bones breaking. That would have made such a long-lasting impact. The unnecessary sex scene between Alicent and Ser Criston took away the pace and momentum, and broke the feeling that something sadistic just happened imo. I almost forgot about it because of the stupid sex scene.

💚💚Team Green supporter here💚💚 First of all, I have to say, Phia [Helaena] did a great job. Her emotions, the way her character "works" was outstanding. Would I have liked them to have kept a few things from the book? Yes! But only because of Helaena, that she doesn't offer her necklace but her life, etc. But the way it went down fits her character in the show. She had to give up one or she would have lost both. But I have to say, those muffled screams and the noises of them sawing...this will haunt me for a long time..I really couldn't breathe, because I was also in shock. I am very empathetic and could relate to Helaena's panic attack and yes folks, a panic attack can look exactly like you saw. In any case, I'm looking forward to the next episodes and to Aegon's revenge! My king!

Very solid first episode to this season! That ending had my eyes glued to the screen. Looking forward to keeping up with your reactions 😁

12:46 "Better keep an eye on that kid"... 😅

I can't remember exactly the words, but when Viserys and Corlys are making the deal to marry Rhaenyra and Laenor, Corlys asks if the succesor of Rhaenyra (in this case Jacaerys) would have the Velaryon last name but Viserys says that the second the succesor of Rhaenyra takes the throne, their last name would change to Targaryen to keep the name on the throne, that's why all of Rhaenyra and Laenor's "kids" are Velaryons

Great reactions from the both of you ladies💯💯! I gotta give it to the greens in these 3 episodes! They really nailed it in se2 not gonna lie!💯💯🤝💯

A lot of people who read the Book Fire and Blood don't like what they did with Cheese and Blood because they changed things. I'm going to give my opinion on the whole episode, so I liked the episode but I expected more from the episode, about the blood and cheese I thought it was cool but it could be much better. I'm going to talk now about what really happened in the Book Fire and Blood. Blood and Cheese is one of the darkest moments of the civil war between the Targaryens,known as the Dance of the Dragons. After receiving information about Luke's death at the hands of Aemond, the Black Council met at Dragonstone and received a raven from Prince Daemon, who at that time was in Harrenhal. "An eye for an eye, a son for a son," wrote Prince Daemon."Lucerys will be avenged." Thus begins one of the bloodiest chapters of Dance. "Let it not be forgotten: in his youth, Daemon Targaryen was the Prince of the City, his face and his laughs were familiar to all the pickpockets, whores and gamblers of Flea Bottom. The prince still had friends in the lowest reaches of King's Landing and followers among the gold cloaks. Unbeknownst to King Aegon, the Hand, or the Dowager Queen, he also had allies at court, even on the green council... And another intermediary, a special friend whom he trusted completely, who knew the taverns and rat pits that festered in the shadows of the Red Keep, as Daemon himself had known, and moved with ease in the shadows of the city. He sought out this pale stranger then, by secret means, to enact terrible revenge." Her intermediary, as it turns out later, was (Mysaria) and she is the one who recruits Blood and Cheese, in King's Landing. Blood is described as brutish and deadly, and he had been a sergeant among the Gold Cloaks (City Guard), but was permanently dismissed for beating a prostitute to death during a drunken binge. Cheese, in turn, was the rat exterminator of the Red Keep and therefore knew all the entrances and exits of the Castle and he is the one who takes Blood to the interior of the castle,without them being seen by anyone. “Cheese knew the Red Fortress better than the shape of his own dick,” says Cogumelo. The hidden doors and secret tunnels Maegor the Cruel had constructed were as familiar to the exterminator as they were to the rats he hunted. Using a forgotten passage, Cheese took Blood to the heart of the castle, without being seen by any guards. Some say that the prey was the king himself, but Aegon was accompanied by the Kingsguard wherever he went, and not even Cheese knew of an entrance or exit from Maegor's Fortress other than the drawbridge that passed over the dry moat and its formidable iron spikes. The Tower of the Hand was less dry. The two men climbed the walls, avoiding the spearmen stationed at the tower doors. Ser Otto's quarters were of no interest to them. They went directly to his daughter's quarters, one floor below. Queen Alicent had come to live there after the death of King Viserys, when her son Aegon moved to Maegor's Keep with his queen. After they entered, Cheese tied and gagged the widowed queen while Blood strangled her chambermaid. Then they sat down to wait, as they knew that it was Queen Helaena's custom to take her children to see their grandmother every night before they went to sleep. Oblivious to the danger, the queen appeared as dusk spread across the castle, accompanied by her three children. Jaehaerys and Jaehaera were six years old and Maelor was two. When they entered the chambers, Helaena was holding his little hand and calling her mother's name. Blood blocked the door and killed the queen's guards while Cheese appeared to get Maelor. -If they scream, everyone will die - Sangue warned His Grace. Queen Helaena kept her cool, they say. -Who are you? -he asked the two. -Debt collectors -said Cheese. -An eye for an eye, a son for a son. We just want one to settle the score. We will not harm rest of you, not by a hair's breadth. What does Your Grace want? lose? When she understood what he meant, Queen Helaena pleaded for men to kill her in the place of one of her children. -A wife is not a son, said Blood. -It has to be one boy. Cheese warned the queen to choose quickly, before Blood was left I'm tired of the little girl. -Choose - he said -, otherwise we will kill everyone. On her knees, crying, Helaena chose the youngest, Maelor. Perhaps she had thought the boy was too young to understand,or perhaps it was because the oldest boy, Jaehaerys, was the firstborn and heir of King Aegon, next in line of succession to the Iron Throne. -Are you listening, little boy? -Cheese whispered to Maelor. -Your mom wants you dead. He gave Blood a smile, and the hulking swordsman killed Prince Jaehaerys, taking the boy's head off with a single blow. The queen began to scream. Strangely enough, the rat exterminator and the butcher were true to their word. They did no harm to Queen Helaena or her surviving children, but they fled with the prince's head in their hands. A scream sounded, but Queijo knew the secret passages that the guards did not, and the killers fled. Two days later, Blood was captured at the Gate of the Gods trying to leave King's Landing with Prince Jaehaerys' head in one of his saddlebags. Under torture, he confessed that he was taking the head to Harrenhal, to collect his reward from Prince Daemon. He too gave a description of the prostitute he claimed had hired them: an older woman, foreign in her accent, with a cape and hood, very pale.The other prostitutes called her Myseria. After thirteen days of torment, Blood was finally able to die. Queen Alicent ordered Larys Clubfoot to learn his name so he could bathe in the blood of his wife and children, but our sources do not say whether this happened. Ser Luthor Largent and his golden cloaks searched the Street of Silk from top to bottom and investigated and stripped every prostitute in King's Landing, but found no sign of either Cheese or White Worm. In his grief and fury, King Aegon Il ordered all of the city's rat exterminators to be captured and hanged, and this was done. (Ser Otto Hightower took a hundred cats to the Red Keep to take their place.) Although Blood and Cheese spared her life, Queen Helaena didn't exactly survive the fateful twilight. Afterwards, she did not want to eat, bathe or leave her chambers, and could not bear to look at her son Maelor, knowing that she had chosen him to die. The king had no recourse other than to take the boy from her and give him to the their mother, the Dowager Queen Alicent, to be raised as her own. Aegon and his wife began to sleep separately, and Queen Helaena sank deeper and deeper into madness, while the king raged, drank and raged." So I hate all the green people because they are all bad, the only person in the family who is good is Helaena, the rest are all rotten, poor people, he lost his son so she goes after his mother to ask for help and she ends up taking the mother having sex with her lover, what a horrible thing, I feel very sorry for Helena, she does suffer in this green family, but Aegon, Aemond, Alicent do not suffer,they are suffering, they are suffering and because the series wants to portray them as poor things, Helaena does not have love from no one in her family, they all mistreat her, Because Helena doesn't like Alicent or her brothers, you can tell by just watching all her scenes with her family, she never lets Alicent touch her.

Jacaerys, Lucerys and Joffrey are born under the Velaryon name, the deal Viserys and Corlys struck would only affect Rhaenyra's successor so right now Jace. He is still using Velaryon until he ascends; if Luke had lived, he would continue using Velaryon even after ascending to be Lord of the Tides. Same for Joffrey. Emma D'Arcy has a way of making you feel their pain when they cry, like its almost visceral. Someone pointed out the way Rhaenyra hugs Jace it almost seems/feels like she wants to take and hide him in the place she last felt sure that she could protect him from any and all harm: her womb...and that knocked the wind out of me The toy little Joff burns to say goodbye to his big brother is the one Luke was playing with in 1x07 when he tells his grandfather he doesn't want to be Lord of the Tides cause that would mean everyone he loves is dead, the wooden horse Rhaenys gave her grandson little Lucerys at Laena's funeral

Meesh & Dee Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎

HE SAID Aemond hate the reason the director gave for why they cut away without hearing him respond to what if we cant find him... they took it upon themselves to kill jaheris bc they didnt know where to find ol one eye. still a son for a son just not WHO Daemon said

So glad that you are doing reactions to season 2. 👍

I dont think Aegon is a horrible person. He seems like a good father. I think some of his motivations as king are just his need to satisfy and for acceptance that he didn't get from his father. Most of his motovations seem to be trying to right gis fathers wrongs

5:43 I thought it was bad that Jace came home straight away, I wanted to see more scenes of Jace in the north. The books have several moments of Jace in the north, but apparently the writers chose not to include them, it's a real shame. 6:29 Rhaenys' Scene with Daemon Eva best who plays the character Rhaenys I talk about her scene with Daemon. "When we did that in the reading and it seemed like a kind of trump card, like whoever has more power" (...) so, what he throws at her in that scene entirely reflects him and his own vulnerability and a desperate need to blame someone" "Understanding that thing about being an outsider. Those who have been mistreated, those who haven't gotten the position they were raised in or deserve, I feel like there's a deep understanding that Rhaenyra resonates with a lot." As Rhaenyra was absent for days, it was probably the daemon who received Alicent's letters. I imagine he burned all of Alicent's letters. (I would do the same thing) I'm sure he did this the first moment he read it "Friend, how are you? How are you?🥰 I'm sorry for your son😰🤧 You know how it is, accidents happen🤷‍♀️ but move forward and lift your head so the crown (a princess's, not a Queen's) doesn't fall off, right lol I miss you already." (bro when Alicent speaks The fact that I sent the letters made me angry because, bro, it's only the scriptwriters who can do this shit, I hope Daemon burned all the fake letters. 15:02 I wanted to talk about Rhaenyra in the book in relation to how Lucerys' death happened. How sad Vhagar must have been, the dragon who ended her boy's life. Riding Visenya,a woman she clearly admired and then her beloved Laena. Rhaenyra clearly admired the conqueror. She wore her hair normally tied in a long braid, like her ancestor and even named her daughter after her, who unfortunately did not survive. Besides, in the book the relationship between Laena and Rhaenyra was different.They flew together,visited each other and she was with Laena in her final moments.They promised their children: Jace to Baela and Luke to Rhaena, when the boys were four and three and the girls two. How sad it must have been to think that the dragon that once belonged to a woman she so admired and was inspired by and then to such a dear friend was the very one who killed her son. 19:39 Daemon was Anxious throughout the episode, lashing out at everyone he talked to because he was worried about Rhaenyra. He probably hadn't slept for days, not knowing if she was safe. Then she came back and he did his best to comfort her. (The funny thing is that Dameon was mad at everyone and blamed everyone, but when Rhaenyra arrived he was calm with her presence) They [Daemon and Rhaenyra] have a connection that no one else on the show shares, they are almost the same person, in different bodies. Sarah Hess. Matt Smith: “[Blood&Cheese] It's love, grief and vengeance. Daemon feels it's impossible not to exact that feeling of revenge when it's in him... [Jaehaerys' death] isn't his mistake ultimately, but he does put it in motion.” 20:51 Jace's scene with Rhaenyra was very beautiful. Jace placing the crown in front of the mourning is Rhaenyra putting the pain aside to comfort. He trying to hold back to say what he managed and clinging to her afterwards. This scene is important to show that Rhaenyra raised her children in a very loving way. On the other hand, we have a mother (Alicent) who is extremely negligent and neglectful and on the other, Nyra is simply being loving towards all of her children. Seriously, they put the scene of Alicent lighting the candle for Lucerys, seriously, scriptwriters, this woman doesn't care about Rhaenyra's children, she calls hers bastards and tried to take a child's eye out and then put this ridiculous scene of hers, She called the jace and luke from savages... said he would rather die than let Helaena marry jace... spent 10 years questioning the legitimacy of the Children and putting a target on their and Rhaenyra's foreheads... but yes he does everything I felt the parallel of the wake with Alicent's fake, They are forcing too much, Alicent clearly never liked Rhaenyra's children but is called empathetic for lighting a candle at Lucerys' death... however, Rhaenyra who never had anything against Is Helaena called fake for showing empathy towards another innocent mother? Sometimes it's difficult to understand people, but she's the victim, folks.. she started the war by accident.. she sent Larys to kill Mysaria's informants by accident.. she spent 10 years preparing Aegon to be king by accident. .she questioned the legitimacy of luke/ep8 without meaning to.. she is just the victim of the patriarchy, incredible how everything they do the producers want to make accidental. "Ah, they didn't want to usurp the throne", "Aemond didn't want to kill the boy", damn what a bummer. 22:10 They didn't have Lucerys' body for the funeral so to represent him throughout his life, Jace wore his newborn clothes, Joffrey his toy as a child, Rhaenyra her clothes as an adult.

One of them asked “What if we can’t find Aemond?” Then the camera cut away. So Daemon PROBABLY said bring me someone’s head at least.

While Aegon is doing petitions you can actually see Cheese in the hallway with his dog.

alicent lighting a candle for lucerys speaks a lot about her great character but even more so was acknowledging him as a velaryon which is some huge growth from the first couple episodes after the major time skip in season 1 when all she cared about was that they were bastards

I read the book so I knew the son was going to die, but I’m pretty sure Halaena wasn’t there to see it happen, so when she showed up in the scene my heart absolutely broke, it was devastating

Happy Tuesday Meesh and Dee. It good to see Winterfell again. So far, we see a conflict within both sides after the Aftermath of season 10 with Lucery death. Jace trying to get support from the North. The Black's as Rhaenyra is grieving. Daemon want to go to war with them. As he and Rhaenya disagree on how their approach against Team Green. On the Green's we see how Aegon is as the king. As their is a conflict between him and his grandfather Otto on how to run things. As Larys Strong notice as he sowed seeds into Aegon. As Helena warns Aegon, concern should be the rats (spies) and not the black's. I'm surprised that Aegon show love for his son despite not disciplining them. But I guess Aegon showing love to his son is something he never got from his,father. First Sir Cirston hated being Rhaenyra sex toy, but now he's Alicent damn I didn't see that one coming. Alicent and Cirston Cole really can't say anything about Rhaenyra at this moment. I wouldn't be surprised if Larys Strong know of Alicent and Cirston Cole messing around. I'm pretty sure Otto knows with the way he looked as Alicent and Cirston Cole enter the room. Alicent feeling not appreciated as she part of the table of men. As she feel Aemond and Aegon don't listen to her. Especially after she expressed disappointment in Aemond for causing this war. I love the Velaryon theme song. I feel bad for Rhaenyra after seeing the remains of Lucery dragon Arrax which was confirm by the Black Ravens. In which resulted in her wanting Aemond dead. As Daemon leaves to go to Kings landing where he finds two men Cheese and Blood who he knew through talks with the White Worm. As he paid him to assassinate Aemond. I just feel bad that Cheese and Blood decided to kill Jaehaery. But anyway I hope you two have a wonderful day. Stay safe, take care and stay amazing.

Kinda wild to say alicent has good in her when she literally just had larys kill innocent people for “information”😂😂

Looking forward to seeing you guys cover this season. I'm with y'all on the Switzerland thing. The only team I'm claiming is Sapphire aka Aemond. Lol.

Helaena was knitting a veil. In the trailer she wears it to a funeral. How did i just notice that lol

Maybe that big guy killed the rat-catcher and took the kid with him for a bigger reward.

You two are always a breath of fresh air because you actually notice the simple little things. Like Alicent looking to Cole for help during the council meeting.

When it comes to the guards theres only 3 kngsguard in kings landing. 3 are with rhaenyra and herald westerling quit last season. And most of the soldiers are on the wall watching or dragons. And im sure the red keep has guards on the outside

Ya I'm excited that I like the house of the dragon very well 💗🥰.

it's understandable why Alicent is doing Criston, look at how her life has been since she was a teen, forced to marry a much older man, forced to make heirs while doing her duty, making sacrifices... but now becuase she's slowly losing her power over Aegon, she's latching on to Cole for control but at the same time fulfilling her needs and certain desires that she never fulfilled unlike Rhaenrya but again it makes her feel shameful, and sinful... yes she is being hypocritical but she's definitely not without her own complexities. I actually prefer Show Alicent to book Alicent just because of the route they are going with the character and the fact that Olivia Cooke's performance is so good to watch.

Hi guys, i expected you to touch on the revelations heleana talked about, her fear of rats. Sad her child got killed by the ratcatcher. She also looked at the cradle after she said it to aegon. Blood and cheese asked deamon what's to be done if aemond was not found, the camera cuts only to reveal later that he instructed them to kill a son with the decapitation of a head as proof. These were voiced when they enter aemond's room and when they captured Helena. First time viewer. Love your reactions. ❤

Hi. Would yall ever react to the Black Tape project fashion shows?

just wanna throw in : I was confused with the names as well at first XD Don't sweat it!

Criston Cole was supposed to be guarding Helaena.

all reactors i have watched so far hate alicent and i am so glad you’re the ones that break that “general audience” opinion 😭😭 she’s my favorite character and i love seeing other people like and understand her too

You guys were spot on Amazing review just know in the book it was worst that what blood and cheese did vs the show

The Jon snow got canceled because Emilia Clark didn’t want to come back so they might have wanted to try bringing her back (rest of the cast didn’t want to come back either)

That sound of the heir’s head being cut off…. Dude it’s awful (great) but awful. And yes starting in WINTERFEL loved it !!!!

I believe they are making a Dunk and Egg spinoff. It's a GRR Novella with a Lone Wolf and a Cub type story

👶 . Leaving this little baby head here as a comment just to help your algorithm.

Both mothers were mourning in that scene Rhaenyra dragon is also the mother of her sons dragon 😢

Son for son because Aymond does not kill easily and is very strong like Damon😬👍

I’ve never heard someone say season 8 ended well for GoT 😂 man when the season came out, I heard so much anger about that season. But I’m excited for y’all’s reaction! Edit: as a book reader I’m really excited for your reactions lol for the end of this show

Its worse in books. They make her choose between her 2 sons she pick the oldest to live and then cheese says you hear that little man your mama wants you to die to the younger kid, then they kill the older one and leave the young one alive.

Subbing because, even though there was a caveat, you liked season 8. Or at least didn't totally shit on it. I thought it was perfectly fine and a good ending. Anyway, good reaction to House of the Dragon.

15:12, two mothers mourning their children, that's so sad. #Parallel of the episode from the books, in case your want to read them, don't read what's next. And an off-topic, the murder of Jaehaerys was less darker than the one in the books, where Helaena was threatened that her 6yo daughter, Jaehaera, will get raped by Blood if she doesn't pick which son to lose(She had a 3yo as well in the books), and ultimately she picks the 3yo (thinking that he wouldn't pick up what's going on and he will die fast) but Cheese, being a sick fcker, just went to his ear, whispered: "Your mom wants your dead", and then killing Jaehaerys, by slicing his head off(as they did in the show) in front of his mother, grandmother and siblings. L.E. And I know that the queen tried to trick them into taking the daughter, to keep the heir alive, but she was outsmarted by Cheese. So yeah, which one is your fav war criminal, gals?

i do find it funny that an "eye for an eye" is not ok but a "son for a son" is, i feel like peapole who choose a side emediatly drown in hypocrasy.

Deamon made the qween look bad he told em ta kill that boy

Just another lovely day, another war crime for Daemon.

12:46 👀👀👀

I'm not that big of a fan as to how armies treat dragons. Dragons are literally the equivalent of the enemy having fighter jets. Why on earth are the castle's and armies made without that in mind. If the Romans could equip every legion with 60 Scorpio's when fighting unarmored barbarians, a more modern medieval army should be able to build hundreds. Rhaegal was taken down by one with ease, Meraxes, a dragon bigger than Vhagar was killed by one. You've got to adapt a bit more. If a modern army would attack with an army that was 80% jets, your funds should all go to your AA defenses right? If your oponent pulls up with exclusively tanks, don't send in infantry. Medieval people were just as smart as a lot of us. They might not have had our technology, but they sure as hell could adapt. I understand that a comical amount of Scorpio's isn't that entertaining to watch, and sometimes Dragons also get plot armor (Drogon), but just once, I want to see some big dragon do a big attack and then just get hit by 40 bolts at the same time.

I don’t like criston cole but I always find it funny how women watch this show and call him a simp but he is literally a sex slave at this point😂he isn’t allowed to say no to them exactly why he wanted to kill himself after Rhanerya did the same thing and you can clearly see he doesn’t like it but at the same time he is way to bitter either accept it or finish the job🙃sorry for being insensitive but frl😂

I've never seen any GOT content, but is this a good place to start? Nah, don't mind me though, just here to support were I can. =^._.^=

Please do one Piece netflix live action series.

"Game of Thrones"? What is that? Some kind of family friendly children's game like musical chairs?

Guards are absent because Crispy (and maybe even Alicent) sent them away so they could secretly bump uglies. I think what Helaena was sewing when Aegon was asking about his sons whereabouts (and Helaena says she's afraid of the rats) is funeral attire....possibly the veil she wears at the funeral :(

This was watered down bigtime... in the book the kids are awake and after Helaena chooses Cheese says to the child "Hear that? Your momma wants you dead" and Blood decapitates the one she DIDN'T pick.

I’d have rather seen a series with Arya exploring the unknown than more of Jon wilding out. 😊

Lol the Queen is not crazy at all.She's clairvoyant.She saw it happening,hence the "I'm afraid of the rats". But that goes for the rat snatchers and the rats/people. They watered it down lol Daemon purposefully sends Blood and Cheese to Helaena’s quarters, and after being asked to pick which child to kill, they threaten to assault her daughter. Whilst crying, she points to her youngest son Maelor, and Blood cuts his head off with one swing of a sword in front of her. Also Cole should've been Guarding the Queen and her children,instead....

I was disappointed in this episode. They baby washed b&c, the reactions were lacking. Shock value and impact were nowhere to be found. They started the episode from the north and at first i thought I was watching a different show... They should have started from the moment Daemon told Rhaenyra the news about Luke, because now everything got lost inbetween the seasons.

great reaction

Rhaenyra paid for not apologizing for Aemond's eye and gaslightling her father against him in Ep 7. And here when she says "I want Aemond Targareyn", its funny because girl you caused this!!!

Notice how when Helaena said “the rats” she looked directly at her sons crib
