King of the Narrow Sea | House of the Dragon Ep 4 Reaction 

Mans whole plan crumbling now

Caraxes after Daemon got them exiled again: 😐

I love Sheera and Lupasan clowning on the Rhaenyra x Criston scene, laughing and role playing, while the thinking man Roshi looks with worry "The consequences of this are going to be severe for the kingdom"

Damn the 12 year old blackwood folded that bracken like a cheap tortilla. just another day in westeros.

Rhaenyra gaslighting Alicent by swearing on her dead mother is almost funnier than Daemon getting exiled as soon as he gets accepted back lmfao it's like every other episode there's a 'daemon gets kicked out' plot

The episode director said that Daemon set the whole thing up, using his ex-girlfriend's spies to go and tell Otto. The point was to bait Otto into revealing that he spies on Raenerya, and piss off the king (which obviously worked.) In terms of the incest encounter in the brothel, Daemon thought he would be in control and go just far enough with his niece to give the spies something to report...but then discovered that Raenerya was DTF, which threw him off his game and caused him to leave in panic. Since he loves his family, and probably is closest to Raenerya, he realized that he had fucked up and sullied her honor, putting her in a very bad position with the king (and everyone else, should they find out.) This is why he claimed the deed when he was questioned, and asked for Raenerya's hand. It was his way of trying to restore her honor after he had foolishly betrayed her without ever having thought through all the possible consequences.

That kid truly had the power of god and anime on his side.

Daemon: "prepare for trouble." Rhaenyra: "and make it double." 👀😏 Girl literally played the man's helmet. Haha

“Look at them being siblings” Lmaoo 😂😂😂

Man I feel for King Viserys he’s got a bratty daughter in Rhanerya, annoying brother in Daemon and scheming untrustworthy best friend in Otto. Dude deserve a break 😂.

the sex scenes were done very well and showed the pleasure of a woman well, they switched back and forth between the constrast of Rhaenyra's night compared to Alicent's, who was lonely tending to babies and basically imprisoned in a castle, who has to please the King whenever he wants. Meanwhile, Daemon shows and tells Rhaenyra how sex is meant to be pleasurable for the woman just as the man, something Alicent has not got to experience and may never not experience as she does not actually love the King. That's why Alicent was a bit angry at learning about the gossip of Rhaenyra's night, she's envious of the freedom Rhaenyra gets to experience.

"Talk shit, get split" - A common saying, but not House Blackwoods official motto.

Targussy has ser Criston acting unwise.

Btw the kid at the beginning who killed the other guy was a Blackwood. The guy he killed was a Braken. They've had a blood feud between their families for hundreds of years. The best way to put it is they are like 2 rival gangs that (because of their lord and king) have to act tolerable to each other. But in the old days?...that shit was kill on sight lol

Bracken "talked shit and got hit" lmao. Imagine getting beat by a literal child when you started it.

I repeated that " look at them being siblings" like 20 times literally

Lupa over here role playing meanwhile Roshi being like: "This will seriously affect the trout population." lol

Funny part is Daemon was actually spitting. Rhay is literally next in line for the throne and the Targaryens have so much power at this point in time. She can have whole bastard children but besides the sea snake none of the lords of Westeros have the “right” to say sh*t. This just proves how little respect they have for her and her position, and also how her father has allowed them to continue with that instead of building her up so no one can contest it. If he had actually said they were seen yes to the lords but continue to say how is that your business. The truth is push comes to shove the lords would have to back down. He didn’t

17:33 "its too good, stop bouncing." F*cking got me

Ser Criston was really contemplating with Rhaenyra like in his head was saying no but his body said yes LOL

at 13:41 that "yep, yep" from better call saul had me dead LMAO

Daemon definitely set that up, thats why he took the covering off her head when they entered the brothel. The whole point of wearing the covering is to stay hidden cuz only Valerians have white hair so there was no reason to remove it unless he wanted them to be recognized

Every single character made arguably bad decision this episode, started with that dude talking shit at a kid holding a longsword

I never laughed more in this channel. Especially Lupa-san's roleplaying was so funny 🤣😂

rhaenyra and daemon really do belong together just to be full-time menaces to viserys

He took the hat off because he wanted to be seen with Rhaenyra, which would give him leverage over Viserys when he asks to marry her. Two things with Daemon: Everything he does have double meanings and he always aims to have the upper hand. Example: You assumed Daemon stopped because of guilt about doing that to his niece, which might be true in part. But he is also a manipulative fuck that wanted to get at Viserys by ruining his chances of marrying Rhaenyra to one of the many lords that would like to improve their houses standing in relation to the crown. Which is why he didn´t argue with the accusation of "ruining" Rhaenyra, despite them not going through with it. And the third possibility is that he simply wanted her because he is actually in love with her. Or maybe even sees a bit of himself in her (which can be seen in how she manipulates Ser Crispin while also clearly being attracted to him). PLus Daemon possibly being impotent. Suffice to say, all of the above are true to varying degrees and there is *a lot* of conflicting emotions that all influence his actions.

Rhaenyra: Daemon didn't touch me, I swear on my mother's memory! Rhaenyras mum ashes : STOP THE CAP!!STOP THE CAP!!

You know, when Alicent went full steam ahead to confront Rhaenyra, it felt like it was something more motivating her. Like a lover feeling betrayed. Apparently that was something that transpired by the actors when the scene was shot and not based on the book. They were best friends once, they loved each other then, but now Alicent is stuck in this life and the resentment is building up. A real clash between them is bound to happen. More now that Rhaenyra lied to her. Love your reactions!

Damn. Rhaenyra really was like ' Bro I swear on my moms'. Based.

This show has me going from liking these characters, to not liking them, and then liking them again 😣

That last scene Rhaenyra didn't have a choice. The point of that scene was to essentially tell Rhaenyra to fall in line or else. Viserys already said he would have disinherited her for Aegon for what she did and Rhaenyra isn't stupid. She's not going to not take the tea and risk being pregnant with a bastard and get disinherited by her father. The succession is the most important thing to both Viserys and Rhaenyra. I also think the point of that scene was to show that Rhaenyra and Viserys' relationship is further damaged because Viserys is over Rhaenyra's bullshit and that was a really close call.

Fans: "Eww...Jaime & Cersei are disgusting." Also fans: "Wow...that Daemon & Rhaenyra scene was hot as hell."

Notice after she hooks up with Cole Rhaenyra changes her necklace from the one daemon gave her to new necklace

Lupa’s role playing had me in tears

"Talk shit, get hit" -Official motto of house Blackwood

no Sheera is right, Alicent was just jealous and disappointed with her own current state, that she gets no say and basically serves as a birthing machine, while Rhaenyra had her City Girl mode on

As far as I can see, there are two explanations for Daemon leaving. One is from the directors, that Daemon was shocked Rhaenrya started trying to initiate the intimacy between them and didn't know how to react. Because he's so used to being in control of every situation. The second is that he was planning to take away Rhaenrya's innocence and have her removed from the line of succession. But he realised he does have feelings for her (probably familial and romantically) and that this was wrong, so he stopped himself. I personally believe it's a combination of both these theories

Funny thing is,Daemon's wife isn't ugly at all.And she's actually his type..strong,adventurous,brave,assertiveand beautiful.He's just pissed he was forced to marry.He calls her his Bronze bitch coz she wears bronze plated armour,not coz she's ugly

At this point, I just have to respect Daemon's audacity

rhaenerya doing too much in the span of 2 hours 😭

Your editor is so good. Your cuts are always on point

in this episode Rhaenyra basically just smashed her uncle, got her cheeks clapped by his knight, and gaslighted her father into firing his kingshand

lmfao " stop bouncing" I love you guys

"I don't know if Daemon set that up" THIS IS A THEORY NOT A SPOILER. Daemon was way too driven in episode 3 to just give up what he's built over the last 3-4 years for him to just show up and decide to be a law abiding little brother. He had to have taken her hat off for a reason being that he was the one to give her the disguise. I feel that he wanted them to be seen in the pleasure den so that it would ruin her standing with marrying into any other family so that he would be the only one who would accept her and claim the throne.

Testicles haven’t dropped and he already got a body count 😂

Lupa and Sheera had me screaming 😭😭 they made this episode funny when it wasn't supposed to be

Sweet Home Alabama 💀

Daemon and rhaenyra relationship been hinted at since the first episode tbh even this episode the first scene is her touching the necklace daemon gave her 4 years ago when’s she’s supposed to be looking for a husband so subtle hint there who she really wants lol. Daemon stopped because he didn’t want to use her while trying to piss his brother off so him asking for her hand in marriage was legit. She only went to Cole after dameon stopped in the middle and taught her if she not happy with a marriage she can have sex with who she want.

LMAO Lupa had way too much fun with this episode "whet...stone" LMFAOO

I like that all of these dramatic scenes are happening in the Godswood so Bran(and Brynden) has some juicy entertainment to enjoy.

It seems like you guys missed he scene with Daemon's mistress paying Otto's spy those coins which implies that Daemon set the whole thing up, plus he lured her out the castle, removed her hat so she could be recognized, then mysteriously left her there alone.

26:30 I screamed. 😂 The editing is always top tier.

my theory with daemon (no spoilers) is that this was all his plan. he returned to king’s landing a hero with the king indebted to him and a bond with rhaenyra. he had decent leverage. then he plays hard to get in the garden with rhaenyra to get her to really want to pursue him. when he takes her to that play i don’t think it was as much to teach her anything as it was a way to diminish her confidence in her own future rule, which would push her to lean on someone else (him). finally, with their recognizable hair intentionally exposed, he seduces her to seal their relationship but he can’t go through with it. i think that’s the biggest giveaway that there were ulterior motives, that he felt guilt when she looked up at him with genuine love in her eyes. the second biggest giveaway was that with viserys he still acted as if they had sex when they didn’t, which makes the case stronger for them to be wed. i think while he genuinely cares for her, he currently sees her as a b-line to the iron throne.

Bruh I'm hurtt💀Dude in the black shirt had me laughing my ass off! 😂😂😂

another thing people don’t point out is notice alicents headboard, they gave her Aemmas old room and she sleeps in the same bed she died in 😭💀

I love how she could read every episode you guys watch no matter what series 😂 and accurate too

Lupa had me crying lmfao

Lupa is killing me with the commentary this episode hahahaha

The kid lord Blackwood wears two ravens on his cloak . That houses symbol is a flock of ravens.

Cersi and Jamie Loved this episode

The hand getting caught for telling the truth is why I like GOT writing.

lmao one of your funniest reactions yet! also i believe sheera’s right that alicent isn’t into rhaenyra, she is envious of her freedom, especially when she herself is in such a miserable situation being a baby machine for the king (something she was pressured to do by her father for power). this episode established their opposing power dynamics, like the juxtaposing during both sex scenes.

Totally agree with you, nobody in this generation would survive life in those days 😂😂😂

I like how Sheera figuring out the show, guys come on, Roshi and Lupan just laughing and cracking jokes 😆

“im going to pretend that you’re a dragon”😂😂😂😭 had me dead😭😭😭💀

been watching your reactions since ATLA - you guys are so funny and a joy to watch! also, sick new intro :)

I see a lot of people cheering for Rhaenyra during the scene with Criston, but I think it is a really shitty move of her… She is abusing her power over him to have sex with him while he obviously doesn’t want to do it. He is in such a dangerous position! First of all he swore an vowel and second his head could end on a spike if anyone finds out… I really like Rhaenyra but that was just not okay

been waiting for this one 😭

Episode 5??!

Lupa is a riot omg 😂

Daemon on his dragon is like a cyclist on the road

Daemon set it up for them to be seen, hence why he removed their disguise once they reached the pleasure house. He knew Otto has spies there. Remember the “Heir of the Day” drama. The hope was to get Viserys to agree to marry them. Rhaenyra is heir to the throne and whoever becomes her hubby is The King Consort. Defiled is intercourse. Daemon had every intention of sleeping with her there but he couldn’t get it up. Luckily for him they thought he did anyway. It backfired on him because Viserys doesn’t want him anywhere near the throne and he’s already married, something he keeps hoping others would forget.

I think Alicent was upset at Rhaenyra because as a queen she can't allow the princess to do things like that. Basically the same thing her father was saying. If Alicent does have a romantic interest for Rhaenyra, I would be surprised.

"My account was hacked "& the sex commentary 😂😂😂 I love y'all

Allicent is a combination of jealous of Rhaenyra's freedom and concerned about her losing her inheritance, like she genuinely wants well for her friend and her to have the throne. Daemon gave Otto bait that he couldn't ignore, he took off Rhaenyra's hat and paid off the kid to tell Otto. Exposing him to Viserys. He clearly didn't like what he was doing because he drank himself silly afterwards but it was a chaotic play by him lol. Banished in 24 hours bruh The Blackwood kid stabbing the Bracken is a nod to the Blackfyre rebellion, both houses have Targaryen bastards further down the timeline who's rivalry leads to another civil war when they get legitimised.

26:30 😂 that audio from Schulz’s special

13:45 NOT THE YUP YUP LMAOOOO I CANTTTT I lit cannot hear "Yup" like normal anymore, thanks BCS.

Takes you 10 minutes to take this off I'm dead XD

never imagined myself I'll end up rooting for incest , I mean I understand rhaenyra deamon is fine AF, find it funny how the truth got Otto out

13:41 Oh no.. Not the cursed "yep, yep" from Better Call Saul, i'm DEAD LMAO

Daemon's plan was to "mess" with her. But seeing that she actually WANTED to kiss himm he was like oh shit. Im supposed to be corrupting you 🙉

2:42 These two are from families that are basically the Hatfields and McCoys of the Game of Thrones universe. The Blackwoods(the boy's) are the Hatfields, and the Brackens(the older boy's) are the McCoys. The Blackwoods were said to be kings of the Riverlands for a time, before the Brackens, who were petty lords that bred horses, bought mercenaries to depose them. There was also a bastard born of both houses that brought them together and founded a new house, House Justman, who ruled for a century or more before they were deposed themselves. Both families also share blood from each other, since marriages tend to bring families together, but something always causes the old wounds to reopen. Whenever something happens that makes them both team up, then it is very serious. Also, there will be something that will make their rivalry leave the entire realm awash with blood for generations, though all members of the cast of House of the Dragon will be long since dead. 3:02. Knowing the Blackwoods have the Brackens as their neighbors, and have more raisable troops than the Tullys, they probably have a more martial culture than most other houses. 3:12. And nothing of value was lost, well apart from the Brackens likely losing their heir. 5:21. Really goes to show that these two love each other. Even four and a half years after their big row, the two still love each other. 5:34. Especially the Velaryons, since that means they can bring in eastern goods from Volantis, the Arbor, the Summer Islands, and Qarth again. 5:45. Probably, Viserys always seems like more of a jokester when in his cups. 7:42. Or at least Braavos as Corlys seems to want, then their power would be doubled or squared, seeing as the Bravossi fleet alongside their Velaryon counterparts would rule the oceans of the known world, especially since the Bravossi can lay a ship in a drydock right before dawn and finish the whole fethin' thing by sunset. This is mostly due to all of their ships being built to a single design. They also dye the sails purple, which helps strengthen the whole Bravoss is Venice thing. 26:18. I'm pretty sure he was hand for a couple of years before his appendix burst.

Bro why are yall an episode behind 😂. Ima start responding with spoilers

"rhaenyra's is caraxes right" Sheera: Yes. The most confident yes ive ever heard lmfao, and no one in the comments is gonna correct them smh

I mean, Daemon has been trying to get rid of Otto for 10 years now, and Rhaenyra was able to do it. His plan worked.

I think if Daemon knew Otto's little birds were watching, it was a huge gamble for him knowing his brother banished him again after how many days? Daemon found a way to get in trouble after 4 years being gone and it only took a day, perhaps? 🤣 But he did get Otto fired by letting the crowd see who they were. A commenter said Daemon tried to frame Rhaenyra so he can marry her knowing since she's already deflowered, no man would take her. Perhaps. Another is he got limp again (show runners said this) but also because he was feeling guilty. He cares about Rhaenyra and doesn't want to use her as a pawn. The other being Daemon wanted to get back at Viserys. Perhaps it's all of the above? Why can't it be all of them? Whatever you think it is, he got Otto fired. Whether that was intentional or not, Otto still got fired. No way Viserys is going to choose Otto over Rhaenyra even if he believes in what Otto said more. Perception matters. Not truth. If Rhaenyra goes down, her father goes down. So Otto became the fall guy whether Daemon broke Rhaenyra's virginity or not and whether Otto was just doing his job. Again, what Daemon proved was third-party accounts aren't reliable especially if they're biased and working for certain people. For all we know, Daemon saying "heir for a day" was taken out of context. We actually never heard him say that in the show. I don't really buy the idea that Daemon tried seducing Rhaenyra to get back at Viserys. The sweetest moment we've seen was Viserys and Daemon share a hug. If Daemon was doing this out of spite towards his brother, then why make a big deal he returned? Why not sneak back to KL and do this? He came back wanting this to be a celebration. This ruins their brotherly love moment. I know the show runners are saying this but I believe Daemon wanted to get back at Otto. If it was Viserys he was trying to get back at, then maybe the reason he went limp was because he got back with his brother on good terms? He enjoyed that hug. He realized he cares too much for Viserys and Rhaenyra and didn't really want to spite Viserys once he felt that guilt.

LMAO I love that I caught the Better Call Saul sex scene audio at 13:41 🤣

Daemon was literally killing two birds with one stone. #1. Exposing Otto for spying on the royal family. He knew that Otto was spying on them when the King found out about him saying "the heir for one day". So, when he brought Rhaenyra to the whore house, he purposly took off his and her disguise so that the spy could see them (the kid that was following Rhaenyra). On top of that, he paid that kid to probably add juice to the actual story like claiming that they actually did the deed (which is why they gave contraceptive medicine to Rhaenyra at the end). But the truth is that they didn't do anything but kiss really. #2. Marrying Rhaenyra to get on the throne or doing it for her honor. Now that people know that Rhaenyra is "sullied", nobody will want to marry her. So, the best candidate would be Daemon. I mean... incest was bound to happen anyways as they were already planning to wed Rhaenyra to either her brother or her cousin, so who cares if it's Daemon fr lmao (that was probably his perspective)? I think it was clear that Daemon wanted the throne. He wanted to be heir since ep 1. I just think he didn't want to hurt his family in the process. Now the issues: 1. Rhaenyra was DTF and out of his control and that caught him off guard. I think he genuinely cares for her tho which is why he stopped. At least, his plan was not to get her pregnant. 2. Rhaenyra, in heat, went and slept with somebody else. If she gives birth to that child, people are either going to think it's Daemon's (that could be good or really bad) or a bastard child. If she drinks the medicine, it's gonna prove that she did sum sum with Daemon. 😭😨

Rhaenerya playing a round of "give me head get your helmet"

That Blackwood kid was gangster AF.

Lupa on FIRE 🔥🔥🔥

Rhae Rhae said she was gonna pop that Targussy one way or another!! 😂😂😂

13:42 the yups 😂 i cant

Sheera watched Bridgerton, that's just an automatic win in my books.

Its been confirmed by both actresses that there is supposed to be something going on between them, it's not just one-sided on Alicent's part. But due to her marrying Viserys and betraying Rhaenyra (in Rhaenyra's mind), the two have a very tense relationship. And I also believe partially why Alicent became so upset at the prospect of Rhaenyra sleeping with Daemon, aside from the political implications and her personal feelings, is that she feels jealous of Rhaenyra being able to pick whom she wants to sleep with and have some freedom, whereas Alicent was married off and has stuck in the castle pumping out heirs ever since. Also quick thing about how Viserys keeps getting cut up by the throne: it's established within the ASoIaF books that there is a superstition around the throne that if an unworthy/weak king is to sit upon it, the throne will cut him to signify this.

There was tonnes of foreshadowing I think, considering their attentiveness with the necklace; the first episode and the beginning of this one.

"Give me a fortnight" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

The whetstone joke was good

Rhaenyra definitely also had a thing for Alicent. It was obvious in the first episode.

17:36 BROOOO LMAO
