I thought the same for a bit (though that character is definitely real in the books) but when her convo with Daemon is interrupted the other guy looks directly at her.
Daemon & Rhaenyra Story Arc Season 2 : it's funny how i've saying for MONTHS that this is exactly what would happen, daemon with house bracken on harrenhal was him realizing he completely lacks the patience and the cautiousness needed to be king. rhaenyra at dragonstone is her realizing even her own council does not fear her or truly believe in her capability in times of war, she was too cautious and the enemy is now in advantage. daemon and rhaenyra's plot is basically them changing places, daemon is gonna have to learn to be cautious and rhaenyra will have to learn to be ruthless. daemon is gonna learn that rhaenya has the ability to trade with the common people that he does not. and rhaenyra is gonna learn that he has the commander in the battlefield and the sword ability that she does not. it's what emma said SEVERAL TIMES, daemon and rhaenyra can't show weakness in front of the other, and this is something they'll overcome.
One thing I picked up on was the shot of Blood and Cheese’s bodies hanging after Meyles’s body came through the streets. They were finally cut down, with Cheese’s dog running after them.
I don't think Blood was hung with the rat cactchers. All Blood knew was the name Cheese, so when Aegon asked who it was that snuck him in the castle, all Blood knew was that Cheese was a rat-catcher. So Aegon had all the rat catchers hung together, because he didn't know which one was Cheese. So he killed all of them. Blood was beaten an tortured in the dungeon. So you saw the rest of the other rat catchers with Cheese and not Blood.
At the end, discussing dragon seeds and panning wide to all the "geneaology" scrolls gave strong vibes of Cersei in the Sept looking at the rows and rows of Wildfire vials.
No. 5 Westeros is on a round planet like Earth, and if you sail west of Westeros, you'll eventually reach east of Essos. But though maesters seem to acknowledge it's a round world, the Sunset Sea is bigger than Pacific Ocean, hence no one seemingly was able to be able to sail west and reach Essos, though some did try and never came back
But Simon Strong did look at her and seemed to notice her. I got the impression that Ser Simon and (is that his sons?) his men are aware that Alys is there, and that she's playing tricks with Daemon's mind. They just act around him like they don't.
@@hafsahassan394 That’s what I thought at first, but after rewatching that part, it may also seem like although Simon Strong is looking toward Alys Rivers, his expression may also be read like he’s wondering who is Daemon talking to.
@@hafsahassan394 moreover, so far every interaction Daemon has with Alys seems to be in private, no third party has ever joined in their convo, unless I’m mistaken
Quick question: the man carrying his dying daughter is the one hand Sheppard who convinced the smallfolk to kill the dragon from the history and lore video?
You missed Aemond and Rhaeyns fought the first real Dragon battle in the series…and they both claimed their dragons ( after their rider died due to childbirth complications)…angering children who thought they were entitled to their mothers dragon
Good point. AND that Meleys and Vhagar knew each other for so long, and were forced to fight to death. The three heads has the dragon trio of Alyssa, Baelon and Aemon (siblings), and then later at Driftmark, Laena, Rhaenys and Daemon (Velaryon family).
Now I don’t need to watch this episode. Season 2 has been a let down so far. I made it through four episodes. The fifth is to be watched at a later date.
Show is getting more boring as it goes on when in fact it should be the complete opposite considering where we are in the story right now. They're also really wasting Daemon's character and the pace is horrible.
@@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121 Yeah, that was the only good episode of this season imo. But we ain't gonna see something like that again till next season maybe.
@karimm2 episodes can be good without having the explosions and action. That manner of thinking is best left to Michael Bay movies. So far episode 2 has been my favourite of the season purely for the dialogue 🤷♂️
I didn't miss them! Stop assuming I am an idiot. What you meant to say is "Top 10 Things You might have Missed in House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 5".
@User-dx9um okay that man that was in the pub talking bout how he's related to the red queen 👸 he said that he's so and so child.... it was when agon took that man to the whore house. so he's related the targarians
@User-dx9um he's the son of baylon the brave half brother of Daemond targarian. There is also I think perhaps the man with the sick daughter he looks like his hair is kinda white
You're right but they meant Jaehaerys the 4 yr old of Aegon. It's really annoying. Everyone in the show has already forgotten Luc's murder. Even Rhaenyra, since ep 2. HOW are westerosi people mentioning Jaehaerys murder without noting that Luc was also a child, and a messenger, and was murdered FIRST by the Greens? Why has Rhaenyra completely forgotten wanting Aemond to pay? Why is Aemond not being called the Kinslayer? Aegon thought B&C happened because Rheanyra was laughing at him, Alicent said because of her sins, Aemond proudly said Daemon was afraid of him. No one says that it was retaliation for them murdering Luc
This season sucks. Characters like Alicent, Rhaenyra and Daemon are getting far too much screentime because they are first billed even though their characters are effectively doing nothing in the story right now. People will say “wahhhhh you just want more fights and explosions” when you raise this criticism. No I want to see more of Jace doing diplomacy and befriending Cregan Stark, I want them to introduce Daeron already ffs, I want them to not cut Nettles, I want to see more of the background characters such as Tyland Lannister. Instead we get Daemon on a 3 episode acid trip, Alicent hooking up with Cole and Rhaenyra complaining that her council isn’t letting her do what she wants (she literally snuck into King’s Landing without telling anybody, cmon really???)
True. I also hate Nettles being cut. That's a big loss. Was this just to stop Rhaenyra from looking bad? And Daeron can't just suddenly pop in s3 as if the Greens had another dragon that they never mentioned or used till now. But it's not that Rhaenyra and Daemon are getting more screen time. It's that they're getting wasted screen time. Good acting doesn't absolve mad writing. They're both acting like idiots out of their s1 arcs, particularly Daemon.
Omg. Are you kidding me. The war is just starting and the ravages of said war will have its effect on her where she will become darker. She would be interesting if she started off dark and ended dark.
Are you joking. Rhaenyra is her father's daughter. She comes from loving parents and she's a reflection of that. Besides the war has just started and it's going to affect everyone in a dark way.
@@denicarson9082 but viserys was not that strong of a king he was soft he was still confused if his decision to make Rhaenyra heir was right or not and you are right she is like her father but war forces people hand to get dirty she seems quite different from season 1 people like aemond and daemon might use her easily the point is she is weak like his father
@@neoleonhart Right? Viserys caused this war to happen. No Targaryen king or heir before him, not even Aenys, was weak enough to marry a non Valyrian when Valyrian options were available. He only married Alicent because he was following his desires, and then let her and Otto rule over him. If he wanted Rhaenyra to rule undisputed, why didn't he give her respect and power in Kings Landing when he was alive? Why did he keep siring sons and giving them dragons, while pushing his own family further and further, and giving total reign and power to the guy who had most incentive to destroy Rhaenyra (when he made Otto Hand)? He didn't even make the lords renew the oaths - they swore over 22 years ago when the king had no sons to speak of.
Daemon is wasted, best character in the books and best actor on the show is being dumbed down and barely shown active. He suppose to be the most experienced general in Westeros
@@rajveerdholan8291 Certainly not. Daemon wasn't sitting in Harrenhal doing whatever nonsense he is in the show. He was all over the Riverlands raising his army. Fighting at the Burning Mill with Caraxes against Brackens. carefully planning Blood & Cheese. Having scouts and spies in Kings Landing reporting movements. Planning the Kings Landing attack. Dealing with the different Riverlords (Jace did not need to even meet with the Freys in the books). The book of course doesn't give him extra screen time. The show does and wastes it.
Yes, he is supposed to be: Strong. 'Whatever powers Alys Rivers had, Daemon Targaryen was immune to them" Greatest military general. "Daemon alone had more military experience than all of their foes combined". A real threat to the Greens "With her (Rhaenyra) was Daemon Targaryen, reputed to be the most dangerous man in Westeros". Both Rhaenyra's greatest strength and her weakness. People wanted to follow Rhaenyra because of Daemon, and others wanted to not follow Rhaenyra, because of Daemon. Ruthless, he carefully planned Blood & Cheese, and yes tried to go for Aegon/Aemond first but was not apologetic for it. It wasn't some dumb plan with 2 idiots that worked only because of Criston Cole's incompetence. Clear on the line of succession. He was Protector of the Realm for Rhaenyra, not delusional about having a claim, after all the sons Rhaenyra, Viserys and even Aegon had. Compared to this. S2 Daemon is an idiot, unless, weak, has no idea how to lead men, not sure if he's even aware of his family (his kids, Rhaenys) except Rhaenyra.
I must admit I was so excited for this season to start but it has been boring had some parts that were interesting and episode 4 was good but only the last 20 mins and this past one very boring whats going on
@@avneeshgautam9454 I swear people want action and battles in every second. GOT was dynamite whether it was action, genius plotting or a well said speech in quieter moments. The likes of Peaky Blinders do this well too, epic action mixed with killer drama and dialogue.
What's happening? Let's see. The best written character (in the books) - Daemon, is wasting time dreaming in Harrenhal, and acting like he's still in s1 ep 1 when Viserys had no sons and he had no kids to think of Rhaenyra, is wasting time imagining that war has not been declared. Not when her son is murdered, not when assassins are sent to kill her, not when armies are raised against her, not when her allies are stuck one by one. Alicent is wasting time imagining that the usurpation only happened because of some dumb prophecy. As if she was in power and nobody would have usurped if she had not told them to. Cole is wasting our time with a boring relationship with Alicent. So yes, I agree. 'Boring' does not mean less battles. Just bad writing.
Video starts with a great example of waste of air time, after she gave CORLYS the No to being his hier..why couldn't we show him walking to Alyn his son and name him hier for being so loyal and hard working and not pushy or ambitious like his brother.. Or blacks having a small memorial for Rhaenys as they did for luke???? Instead of the mother son incest scene 🤦♀️🤦♀️ I feel so bad for these actors giving everything into thier roles.. with what trash script they are handed. In conclusion- - You did NOT miss anything in this episode. Ryan giving paying fans 38 minutes then even hitting us with a damn Mobile Game Ad before the no one asked for, behind the scenes rubbish. HBO may even CXL the show and he wouldnt care.
