HOUSE OF THE DRAGON [2x1] | EXTENDED REACTION
Added 2024-06-17 10:32:05 +0000 UTCWE'RE BACK! And it was a not so feel good ending to episode 1. A son for a son...

Not sure if you guys know this, but, both Rhaenyra and her dragon were grieving when they found the remains. Arax was Syrax’s hatchling. She wasn’t feeling her riders pain, she was feeling her own.

2024-06-27 23:18:42 +0000 UTCYeah, I think Daemon told them to do this, and I think if stupid Criston Cole wouldn't have been screwing Alicent, it could have been stopped. I literally wanted to crawl through that screen and kill that dude, when he kicked the dog. I am sitting in my bed with my Emotional Support Dog, Anakin, and he means the World and more to me. I stepped on his foot by accident a couple of years ago, because he got hyper and jumped out in front of me...He yelped, and I immediately started bawling. I hate Animal cruelty. I like my Dog, Axolotl, and Fish way more than I like people...I am not even exaggerating. I have had 2 Misscarriages, I lost one Daughter at 6 months old, my oldest Son has Cerebral Palsy, and my Husband's oldest Son died from a Heroin overdose. I feel Rhaenyra's pain. It is almost unbearable losing a child at all, especially more than one...But, she lost two in a day. I am surprised she didn't tell Syrax to "Dracarys" her. The guy that played "Blood" totally reminded me of Russell Crowe. I just realized that Syrax was also grieving her Son, Arrax. 😭 R.I.P., 👼Jaehaerys. ⚔️👑🤯😭⚔️👑🤯🤣⚔️👑🤯😭 😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬 🔥🐉🔥🐉🔥🐉🔥🐉🔥🐉🔥🐉

2024-06-25 10:41:21 +0000 UTCThey cut away deliberately, because the books always had it at a son of Aegon's. It fits, for one, the person she blames really is Aegon for usurping her throne & two, Aemond is too tough for a pair of street rats to fight. They'd have died in seconds.

2024-06-19 15:21:49 +0000 UTCWasn't that Jon who invented cunnilingus 200 years later😂? Anyway I hope that his tongue gets whatever Viserys had and it spread to his neck and his head falls off😠!

2024-06-18 08:51:01 +0000 UTCWhile they cut Daemon's response to "what if we don't find him?" its clear what he said. Blood (the 'name' of the big guy) told Cheese (the ratcatcher) he said "a son for a son". Its clear Daemon prefered Aemond's head - but would settle for any royal son.

2024-06-18 07:27:03 +0000 UTCUmmm….who was Cole supposed to be guarding while he was getting busy with Alicent? Was it the King/Queen’s chamber?
Kristen Lynn
2024-06-17 22:18:42 +0000 UTCWill there be a full watch along?
Madeleine Howard
2024-06-17 21:54:34 +0000 UTCWhere’s the full length watch along? 😢

2024-06-17 21:52:49 +0000 UTCI think Daemon’s smile to Rat when he asked what do they do if Aemon isn’t there hints at Daemon saying something like ‘a son for a son’ to indicate that if Aemon isn’t there, then find a son who is. Just a guess, but that smile meant something!

2024-06-17 17:33:47 +0000 UTCI am a book person who doesn't mind the book changes, for where the series is going and already the changes they made, it makes perfect sense and is written pretty well, people forget that the book is just a series of events without any real insight to what the characters are thinking & feeling, with what the series has and has to create, it did it really well. My poor poor Helaena doomed by her family and traumatized twice in one episode.
mya
2024-06-17 16:34:06 +0000 UTCTheres a theory that Helaena's children aren't Aegons and are actually Aemonds. Back in S1, at Laena's funeral, Aegon was talking about how he didnt want to marry his sister, to which Aemond replied "If only Mother had betrothed us, I would perform my duty and keep our Valyrian blood pure." We won't know if this is true and I doubt it but if it was then the 'son for a son' was technically justified.
Ry.Blair
2024-06-17 13:39:33 +0000 UTCBecause the book isn't the truth as was written by people who wasn't there. Also, it makes sense as by killing off Aegons line makes his and Rhaenyras children closer to the throne
Ry.Blair
2024-06-17 13:37:40 +0000 UTCSo freaking excited 🖤🔥🐉

2024-06-17 13:14:11 +0000 UTCU guys forget that Lukes dragon Arrax was also Syrax's son, so she's grieving her child as well as feeling Rhaenyra's grief & pain too. Also Rhaenyra had 6 children by end of S1. 3 of them being Daemon's kids. She lost baby Visenya due to the stress the green caused her and then the greens killed Luke. Rhaenyra still has 4 sons.

2024-06-17 13:00:56 +0000 UTCJust an FYI, now that it's not a spoiler... in the book, Aemond was never the target. There were 3 kids Helaena had. Two boys & a girl. The target was always one of her children. She chose the baby, trying to spare the heir. The heir was killed instead. It was always gonna be that way. Don't know why the show added the "kill Aemond" in when that was never the case in the book.
Courtney Conover
2024-06-17 12:43:16 +0000 UTCSo excited to watch this reaction and be back in Westeros with you guys!!

2024-06-17 12:33:00 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure Daemon told them to do this. When the rat catcher asks him "what do we do if we don't find Aemond?" they just show Daemon smirking and the scene ends.

2024-06-17 12:31:06 +0000 UTCSome book purists are complaining a lot about this episode. Personally I don't mind the relatively minor changes - the same general events happen (and its not like the source material is especially detailed, its not the same style as ASOIAF). And yeah, it was tough. I know generally what happens, but I purposely stopped reading Fire and Blood once I got to the Dance of Dragons as not to spoil myself too much.
Laura Thornley
2024-06-17 12:11:31 +0000 UTCYou forgot Rhaenyra & Daemon's 2 sons, Aegon & Viserys
Courtney Conover
2024-06-17 11:56:27 +0000 UTCCody: I'm going to keep an open mind! Also Cody: USURPER!!
MamaSeesa
2024-06-17 11:49:53 +0000 UTCI know people are upset about the differences from the book. But they need to remember that the books are written from unreliable sources who were not present at most of these events. Unlike G.O.T which is written from each characters P.O.V. Also, get the fuck over it lol
Ry.Blair
2024-06-17 11:43:03 +0000 UTCOof, that’s a tough first episode. As a cross stitch embroiderer I’m fascinated by the embroidered opening credits sequence, wondering how they did it…

2024-06-17 11:42:05 +0000 UTCI wish you would have read the book lol. Your jokes about Alyn.... Oooh, you're missing so much!
Courtney Conover
2024-06-17 10:57:40 +0000 UTCim tired 😂
