King Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra when he was actually talking to Alicent before he died. That’s why he was talking about Aegon’s dream of the song of ice and fire, which has been secretly passed from king to heir for generations. Y’all seemed to be confused during that scene.

Seeing Viserys just wanting his family to love eachother and be happy really made me sad knowing how things are about to go.

Paddy's performance this episode was amazing. The king's entrance to the throne room was so powerful. One of the best scenes of the year. These last two episodes have been amazing

Paddy Considine deserves an emmy for that stellar performance, he had me in tears from the moment he walked into the throne room until his last breath.

“What Strong lads they are” 😂😂 Aemond is about to be a menace y’all don’t know

We should take a moment to appreciate the cleanest head-slice in all of Game of Thrones history 🥶

I mean Aemond had been physically/sword training with Crispin Cole for 6 years while his older brother just gets drunk everyday. That’s why Aemond looks more physically able and firm

Even tho Daemon has caused him so much trouble, seeing him help Viserys was such a *GREAT* moment because at the end of the day, even Daemon can’t stand to see his brother like that

I don’t think people realize how much Aemond respects Daemon. Definitely one of his biggest inspirations, gonna be great to see it all play out!

When Viserys was tested at his physically weakest of times, he has proved to have been at his strongest hour. He was not a great king, but also by no means no means among the worst. In the end he was a good good man and a devoted father to Rhaenyra. He rode the largest dragon of Westeros and then carried the franchise back to glory.

I personally think this episode is the best one yet. Like......dragons are sweet AF. But Visery's walk to his throne was effing POWERFUL. I felt so many emotions during that scene. Like my man really pushed himself past his limits, all for the love of his daughter and family. In the moment where his body was the weakest, he showed his greatest strength. I gotta pour a shot for my man Vissy T. He was a good man born in the wrong time and place. (also Paddy Considine deserves at least an Emmy Nomination for all of this. Man really acted his heart out)

I knew if anybody was going to appreciate how hard Vaemond hit that “BASTARDS” it was gonna be RT TV 😂 that shit had me so dead

How Daemon resisted saying, "I'll keep an eye on you, nephew." to Aemond is beyond me

honestly Wellz is carrying this channel on his back. feel like he’s always informed about the shows they react and genuinely seems invested

Robb said “why y’all even want smoke with them?” After he saw how much of a demon Aemond is, most accurate shit he ever said 😭

The reason aemond got heated at Luke is because he was laughing at him because they placed a pig in front of him and luke and jace were in on the pig prank calling aemond the pink dread

Daemon intervened in the kids fight scene but his grin show that low key respect Aemon, he know he pulled a move that he would have done if he was him.

When they thought the king died I was almost in tears. 😂😂😂

King Viserys finally showed some strength in the weakest point of his life🔥

Lmao when they thought Viserys kept dying in the bed. “ he really died. Wow.” 😂

“I don’t wanna see I don’t wanna see it” Proceeds to stare at the screen without blinking lmao 🤣 Poor Viserys he went out like a king, what a fighter

Gotta wonder with how fast Alicent was with the cash and tea, this must be a regular thing with Aegon

What they were going for in that last scene was Alicent was willing to let things go based on a lot of things that happened that day + she doesn't believe in Aegon as king since he's a disappointment to her. She never heard the song of ice and fire before so she was only picking out Aegon and how he will unite the realm. There could be genuine confusion (which seems to be what the writers are going for) or she is being willfully strategic.

I kind of rock with Vaemond. He was holding that in for like 16 years and was fully prepared to die just so he could yell that shit and fuck with them

The dinner was a perfect way to show that even if the adults can sort through their problems with eachother, it won't even matter because they've poisened their childrens minds against eachother.

Viserys literally got up outta his death bed to defend rhaenyra and her children While otto still dog walking alicent I remember a couple episodes back, viserys told otto that he just wants rhaenrya to be happy and to be with someone she chooses and otto was looking like “yeah,aight alicent aint getting no happiness from me”

George R. R. Martin actually wrote to Paddy Considine: "Your Viserys is better than mine."

Paddy Constantine’s acting throughout this season is phenomenal. Viserys’ enter to the throne room was hard to watch, I just wanted the old king to smile, be happy with his family. The second I thought everything will be okay for awhile, Alicent misunderstood the king’s dying words. Such a shame…

Ya, if you recall, Corlyss & Rhaenys discussed succession in the previous episode, in front of the fireplace. Rhaenys wanted to move succession to their daughter's children, and Corlyss wanted it to stay with their son's children, bio or not. I got the impression Vaemond was conspiring with Otto & Alicent, and they thought their plan was a done deal until Viserys hobbled in. Those panicked gazes...

Y’all talk over important moments, he was finishing the conversation Rhaenyra had with him the night before about aegon’s dream.

Alicent was genuine in making peace with Rhaenyra at the dinner. But the last scene with king (that RT TV team missed the importance) is what will get her back to wanting her son as king

Is there no one in the realm that they could've married Heleana to besides her pervy brother? Poor girl and she's still so loving and pleasant.

Nahhh bro, Aemond and Daemon were both getting hard just thinking about the fights they can have 😂😂😂😂😂

Daemon was Will Smith for a moment. “Keep my wife’s name out your freaking mouth” 🗡

The dinner scene is a masterclass of melancholy in simplicity. Viserys watching the kids in a last dance before the Dance. Last fleeting moment of bliss. Everyone hoping for the best, expecting the worst. For something so uneventfully peaceful, the passing was one of the most foreboding, emotive & viscerally filmed deaths I've seen. Book Viserys also doses off to the great beyond in his bed, after telling stories to grandkids. The man who was most dissimilar to Aegon the Conqueror in life ends up being most similar to the Conqueror in death. Enough jokes. Now the serious stuff. "You're no son of mine" - Alicent getting crossbowed in the loo on mother's day confirmed. "Viserys wearing gold dragon instead of red” - Viserys secret Green Chad confirmed. Ep 9 titled The Green Council😱!! The seizure😱!! Cue Hoes Mad music😤!! Our religion, tradition & patriarchy upholder Queen Mother & our redpiled King will make Westeros great again🙃/s

Vaemond just wanted his own ambitious to rise. Betrothing Rhaenrya’s kids with Laena’s fixes all his Velaryon worries. The kids of Luke and Rhaena would have the name Velaryon from their father and Velaryon blood from their mother. He just wanted power for himself

I agree this was the best episode...for me, GOT is not about dragons and battles...or plot twists, but character development and political intrigue. Here, we can finally see Viserys standing up for himself and his family...he has always avoided confrontation and allowed people to walk all over him. Now he finally roared as a dragon and became the king he always wanted to be even if he was about to die

Viserys showed the inner dragon one last time as his brother finally became his strong right hand if only for a moment.

Allicent got about a 5-6 year head start on the baby making, so Aemond's got the advantage on the Strong boys in size and age for awhile yet.

Can’t believe they missed that last dialogue because they kept talking about the king dying which was so obvious anyway🤦🏾‍♂️

Daemon will forever be that guy... The way he sliced ole boy.......I fell in love ❤️

Viserys broke my heart, he only wants peace between his family 💔

they managed to misinterpret everything that could have been misinterpreted and more. amazing

The side of Viserys's face that is rotten on the table is the side of the table where the greens are sitting. They show a golden mask, but deep down they are rotten.

21:00 to 22:00 is probably the greatest reaction to this episode I've seen. "THAT'S WHAT YOU DO!"

Bro I screamed LETS GOOOO loud as hell! When Daemon cut off Vaemond’s head… Like thats what HOTD has been missing this entire time is just someone to say fuck the petitions, fuck the politics, fuck the arguing just straight up kill whoever steps too far out of line and tries to defy the words of the king or his heir.

A lot of people have forgotten that Corlys accepted Luke as the air to driftmart and he also acknowledge them as children of Valeyron, him and Leanor and Rheanys

That guy Vaemond really did it to himself, and he only was saying that because the king was in a weak state. His brother had already made the decision on making one of Rhaenyra's sons take control if driftmark. The decision was done and over it but he was power hunger and wanted it for himself. Not that he wasn't speaking the truth of the right blood tides to driftmark, however they already made the choice on making the youngest son have control of it. As for Alicent she did a horrible job raising her kids, it's like Joffey all over again. Used to go around talking trash about Rhaenyra's sons, that their savages. Yet you have one son that's a drunk rapist and the other a psycho. At least the daughter is only kid she had that turn out decent. And I don't want to hear anyone defending on what Aegon did, that was disgusting and garbage. And that's on Alicent, she raised them to be spoil brats. It's very clear whose offspring is right in the head, I just hope Rhaenyra's kids have what it takes to go against them. Because now with the king dead all bets are off. The king was the only thing keeping them steady, now after that the peace is over, following chaos.

Vaemond forgot that Rhaenyra is also descended from the Velaryons, because Aenys I Targaryen who was the son of Aegon I The Conqueror Targaryen and Queen Rhaenys Targaryen Aegon I's sister wife married Alyssa Velaryon. Aenys and Alyssa had 6 children, among them Jahaerys and Alyssane who got married and had children, the two children Baelon and Alyssa had Viserys and Daemon and one of Jahaerys and Alyssane's children ended up marrying an Arryn and from there Aemma Arryn was born Rhaenyra's mother who eventually ended up marrying Viserys and in that marriage Rhaenyra was born. So Rhaenyra also has Velaryon descent.

Powerful episode! In the books Admend is described as looking older than the rest of his siblings. Rhaenyra's son most likely laughed at Aemond at the dinner table because of that roasted pig laid in front of him! 🤣 Remember the pig prank on Aemond from episode 6? 😉

I think y'all are forgetting that Vaemond is also supplanting Laena's daughters by petitioning himself as the heir to Driftmark. Even if we accept the premise that Rhaenyra's sons are bastards and should not inherit Driftmark as Velaryons, technically, Rhaena and Baella still have a stronger claim than Vaemond. If Rhaena and Baella marry Rhaenyra's sons, they will have the name Velaryon again, and their heirs will be Velaryons in name and blood too. So, they didn't really do the Velaryons dirty. Vaemond was definitely more concerned with his ambitions than carrying on the Velaryon line.

Vaemond was foolish Laena and Daemon's daughter was going to be married to Jace, and producing Velaryons heirs in no time, the blood of the Velaryons and with Targaryens blood added as well would be a lot of the blood of Old Valyria remaining in their house. Vaemond wanted Driftmark himself and tried to overstep and paid the price.

Right, they did not do the Valerians dirty, Lord Corliss was the boss and thats what he wanted and that was the deal he made with Vicerys when they first bethrothed Rhaenyra and Laenor. The brother BEEN outta pocket every time they show him. Then he thinks he bout to disrespect the KING, FOH lol :)

THANK YOU!! You guys are literally one the few reactors not giving Aegon a pass, even some these females are like this poor little rich kid has so much pressure put on him, Like WTF?

Viserys was out of it in his final moments. He was answering Rhaenyra's question from earlier about whether he really believed the prophecy. Alicent doesn't know anything about it. She thinks he's saying their son Aegon must be the one to unite the realm.

Milk of the poppy sorta sedates you and clouds your judgement. Visares knowing what he had to do, knew he needed a clear head and decided to bear the pain for his daughter

Aemond gonna be a problem. Can’t wait to see him in future episodes 💯🐐

Whoever was behind the direction, effects, and writing of Viserys's health deterioration has seen what it's like. That first scene in his bed to the end was uncomfortably realistic and reminded me of seeing my grandmother passing.

These guys have been trying to kill off poor Viserys since ep one. 😂

The Song of Ice and Fire is a sort've prophecy. A dream that the original Aegon had. A prophecy of someone uniting the realms. Viserys thought he was speaking to his daughter Rhaenyra, but obviously he was speaking to Alicent. Viserys was telling her it is Aegon, Rhaenyra's Aegon, that he saw in the prophecy. Alicent most likely misinterpreted that as him saying their son Aegon is meant to rule. Alicent and Rhaenyra actually did make peace at the dinner, but their kids don't get along. Not to mention Viserys last words will most likely cause Alicent to attempt to put her son on the throne. Props to Viserys for using his last energy to defend his daughter and attempt to bring his family together.

Y’all not paying enough attention yall be missing stuff that’s obvious. Viserys thought he was talking to his daughter, not his wife. With milk of the poppy and his illness he gets confused

Aemond got that mad sword skills, one-eye, and green clothes. Remind you of someone Rob?

Viserys walking through the throne room was such a powerful scene, and Paddy Considine performance gave me goosebumps. He has been excellent all season and he still outdid himself this episode.

He should've retired, like any good king, and then passed the crown to Rhaenyra while he was still alive. What's the point in letting the hightowers rule, when your heir is right there??

Gotta rewatch that last scene, he thought he was talking to rhaenara so it was a whole miscommunication, so no ones really in the wrong. But that's gonna lead to allicent thinking something totally different

King was the ultimate reverse UNO card ever played.

Love how they always be missing the most important part of the episodes, it always so great to watch and see what they gone miss or misinterpret

This episode was great but it made me so sad. RIP to Viserys, I love the way he got out of bed to walk to the throne to defend his daughter and her children, it was a touching moment and it was sweet to see Daemon help his brother up the stairs and hand him his crown. Vaemond deserved what he got, it was great to see Daemon defend his wife. The dinner scene was great and sad, the speeches given by Viserys and Rhaenyra we're touching and everyone was happy for a moment until the bitch Aemond One Eye pulled his shit but I blame Alicent because she spent years teaching her kids to hate their half sister and their nephews.

The final conversation between Viserys and Alicent is so important for what is to come next. Earlier, Rhaenyra went to Viserys asking him if he believes the prophecy that is the song of ice and fire and that she feels that she's not fit or even wants the Iron Throne. So in the end, Viserys thinks he's talking to Rhaenyra when he says that 'you should be the one to unite our people.' Alicent then thinks that he meant their son Aegon should be King. A miscommunication that will bring forth war.

The reason Aemond freaked out was because of the roast pig that was placed in front of him and Luke chuckling about it. Remember when they were younger they gave Aemond the “Pink Dread” as a prank because he didn’t have a dragon yet. The pig was a call back to a time in his life when he was looked down on by his family and he snapped

the scene with Viserys walking down the hall to the iron throne pulled some emotional strings for me idk why and i’m starting to see a conflict brewing between Aemond and Daemon because of their similar demeanors

Bro this literally the perfect reaction of how you support to watch HOTD can’t be using 2022 glasses

Ngl Vaemond was tripping the Velaryon will still blood will still be on the Driftmark throne since Jace and Luke are betrothed to the uhhh cousin granddaughter sisters

Daemon: You dropped this King 👑.

Paddy Considine! He's a legend for that performance.

Velaryon blood will still be in Driftmark once the boys marry the girls cause the girls have the blood. So their children will not only have their blood but also the name Velaryon so it does work out for Driftmark in that sense

Daemon turnt ole boys dome into a stadium with the quickness.

Ngl I DEADASS thought Viserys looks like a Night Walker, He looks EXACTLY like the Noght Walker on the Horse Samwel Tally saw when he got lost beyond the wall

According to the books, the rumour was that Alicent was slowly poisoning King Viserys. It could be implied when Daemon was smelling the "tea cup", and Alicent looked guilty when Rhaenyra was raising a toast to her at supper. Also, this episode proved that all Viserys cared about was Rhaenyra's happiness, especially since the death of his wife Aemma.

I just noticed this, but when Otto handed Viserys milk of the poppy, we could see 2 complete set of arms from Viserys. In the other episodes Viserys was already missing his entire right arm

To differentiate between the two Aegons, Alicent's son was referred to Aegon the Elder and Rhaenyra's son was referred to as Aegon the Younger. Just to avoid confusion.

Since all the time jumps have gotten confusing here's the rough age count for the main group of characters as of this episode to help yall out!! (anyone feel free to correct me in the replies if something's off) Viserys: late 50s Daemon: 40 Rhaerhae: 33 Jace: 16 Luke: 14 Baela/Rhaena: 15 Joffrey: 7 Aegon III/Viserys II: 2-3 Otto: 60s Alicent: mid-30s Aegon II: 20 Helaena: 19 Aemond: 18 Corlys: 70s Rhaenys: early 60s Criston: late 30s

Don't take it personally guys,actually veleryons was not blacks in the original books,they are also just as pale as targaryens,but the show writers wanted diversity like every thing that hollywood are producing nowadays,veleryons and targaryens are from the same continent and they both survived thier doom,thier is no racism in there,just a fight for power.

One eye swordsman, seriously Rob 😂

I wonder how many girls Aegon has “R worded”, that Alicent has gaslit, given veiled threats to, given moon tea to and given hush money. Funny looking back on when she judged Rhaenyra’s night out & sleeping with criston, and that whole situation. And look at her, protecting her son, their family and their name, by covering up the truth. Only difference is, Aegons shit is way worse. Alicent the hypocrite. Yes, Aegon is married to his sister, Alicent betrothed them. Even though she called Targaryen customs “queer” in episode 4, regarding the targs being with each other.

The Master of Complaints got SERVED!¡!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐲🐲

daemon targaryen = draymond green😆🤣🤣🤣

I love how much y’all missed this episode. Anyways this was def 10x better than last episode.

"He died...." LMFAO

After this episode, y’all better put some respect on Viserys name😂

RIP Viserys(Paddy). He will be missed.

in the books sickly Targaryen babes were given dragon eggs or bonded with hatchlings or adults & did complete 360s in not just health, personalities got bolder. ‘‘twas as wonderful thing. Dragons really cranked them up 10,000 notches

Daemon don’t fuck around 🤣

The march in with my military line has always got me rolling since the first Game of Thrones reactions on this channel.

Aemond was deffo the coolest targaryen from the greens side

Soy de Argentina, no hablo mucho inglés pero me encanta ver sus reacciones 😎

King pulled up like an Elden Ring boss.

“They just be using the same names” Yeah Westeros be like that huh? Each family just picks like 6 names and just sticks with them lmao

The dinner scene was hilarious 'Why? It was just a compliment." More like a provocation. How calm he was after taking the punch. Shootout to Aegon instead of doing nothing he joined the 'brawl' and stands by his younger brother. Even if you hate Ser Criston you can't deny that he isn't a good teacher. Trained the boys well. Puberty really did turned Aemond into a 24/7 savage maniac. The standoff between Daemon Aemond was epic. I have a feeling that Aemond admire or look up to his uncle. Well who wouldn't when you have the most feared warrior at the time in your family right? Daemon found his next opponent. It's scary the similarities between him and Aemond. I guess if the marriage between Daemon and Rhea was going peacefully - the outcome then would be Aemond. Truly father and son. I bet Daemon is thinking to himself everytime he sees Aemond "So, that me in my youth." The Blood of the Dragon runs thick. Aemond is keeping his rage for his lost eye. Y'all won't be ready when the dragon finally is unleashed. (Payback above Storm ends will be so satisfying) And give Paddy Considine already his Emmy! Another class acting from him. I cried while he tried walking up to the throne and when his crown felt and Daemon picked it up for him 😭
