a small part of me has to laugh that they remembered being called bastards but forgot the whole "dye in fire screaming" part. Edit to add: good on Daemon for shutting the fuck up, for once lmao

2025-01-25 00:51:37 +0000 UTCI think it’s also because Cersei and Jaime are literally twins, like they grew up together. HOTD is set nearly 2 centuries before GOT, so while Targaryen incest was fine (and expected) back then, it’s mocked and spoken about with distaste in the Seven Kingdoms in the present days. Also, not like it’s a good reason, but Daemon and Rhaenyra didn’t actually spend THAT much time together; guy was always off doing something, whether it was travelling, commanding the City Watch, or terrorising Flea Bottom. Their connection was made only after his return to King’s Landing post-conquest of the Stepstones. The Targaryens did it to keep their magic and power within the family, the Lannisters did it because they couldn’t think of anyone else to be horny over.

2025-01-20 14:20:30 +0000 UTCViserys calling Alicent “Aemma” when he’s off to bed will never not make me laugh 😂

2025-01-20 12:07:45 +0000 UTCI think he’s a really good grandfather to the boys while his wife mainly focuses on Laena's girls. I agree with you on the affection he has for them. But Rhaenys was right when she told him that it is his own ambition that drives him. From ep. 01 he tries his best to have his blood on the throne or as close to it as possible because "Rhaenys should’ve been Queen" but after all those years he’s really the only person to still be angry about that. And imagine the consequences it would have if he were to name Baela heir to Driftmark. It would carry on Laena's legacy but he would indirectly call Jace, Luke and Joff illegitimate because there would be no other explanation for not giving the title to the males in the family.

2025-01-20 07:00:45 +0000 UTCI actually find Corlys comment on “History doesn’t remember blood. It remembers names” quite interesting. Typically men are portrayed as placing a really high importance in continuing their bloodline. Corlys appears to have a real affection for those boys, who he knows are not his blood. And while he obviously wants the Velaryon name as closely associated with the throne as he can get it. I still find it interesting that he doesn’t seem to mind that those boys are not his grandchildren by blood.

2025-01-20 05:58:35 +0000 UTCits so funny that every single person whos watched GOT was disgusted during s1e1 with Jaime and Cercei and now all of us watching house of the dragon are seeing incest galore and are just like 🤷🏽♀️

2025-01-20 04:12:05 +0000 UTCPlus when she showed up at Dragonstone during his standoff with Daemon over the dragon egg. I’m not sure how Otto saw that whole thing ending. It definitely looks like there was gonna be some sort of bloodshed before Rhaenyra showed up. But again, it seemed like his play was to deepen the wedge between Daemon and Viserys. Viserys originally said that he was going to Dragonstone, but Otto convinced him not to. Then when Otto got there, he told Daemon that Viserys wouldn’t lower himself to come. But whatever Otto thought the outcome of that would be, Rhaenyra probably foiled it. The look that Otto gives her when she is riding off on her dragon says a lot!

2025-01-19 23:33:55 +0000 UTCthis episode is one of my absolutely favorite, Daemon and Rhaenyra truly are a power couple. It's like two halves of a coin for me.

2025-01-19 23:26:51 +0000 UTCfor your last paragraph, I agree, I honestly think Otto pushed Rhaenyra to be heir because he thought he could control her like Viserys. I think in episode 2, he attempts to control her decision with the King's guard and she doesn't let him and I feel then he realized his Plan A would never work.

2025-01-19 21:31:43 +0000 UTCAemond riding Vahgar for the first time always gets me. No matter what has happened before and what is to come, that scene lives in my heart rent free. Did you hear? The music is intermingled with Dany's theme from the original show. Whoever made the choice to bring back Ramin Djawadi for the music is a GENIUS.

2025-01-19 20:32:55 +0000 UTCI've been waiting for this :) this might be a longer comment House of the Dragon really brings out the nerd in me haha. I have to say faking this whole thing with Laenor is one of the most selfless things Rhaenyra did because he gets to be happy somewhere far away from his duties and their marriage. Also we get Daemon and Rhaenyra together. Now let's get into a few things: like how nobody said anything about Alicent cutting the heir with that blade??? makes no sense. Also props to Princess Rhaenys for clocking Lord Corlys like that because he's just as delusional about the paternity of them kids as Viserys is haha Also...Aemond claiming Vhagar (I think it's a female dragon) was actually not that bad if you ignore the fact that he now has the biggest still living dragon of them all on the side of the Greens. Vhagar obviously let him claim her, she didn't have to. Aemond has Valyrian blood and Vhagar had no rider so he was well in his rights to try. Baela and Rhaena were a bit dramatic but we as audience understand because they just lost their mother and now their mother's dragon. I have sooo much more to say but I'll cut myself off here haha

2025-01-19 19:56:16 +0000 UTCOh my god this has to be the best reaction to HOTD yet. I cried laughing when you were so shocked that they "actually killed him". We all love Laenor and wish for Rhaenyra and Daemon to be together, can't kill the gays. (not more than they already have) 😂❤️

2025-01-19 19:46:06 +0000 UTCI have been waiting for your reaction to this episode! I liked a couple of your observations at the very beginning. Like how Laena took control of her fate by how she chose her death. A lot of people were upset by that choice. But she had made it clear that she wanted to have a dragon rider’s death. And we had all experienced that terrible death of Queen Aemma in the very first episode. Although I think they were signaling that Daemon was not going to consent to an attempt at a cesarean. I also like how you picked up right away on how Vaemond was throwing shade at Rhaenyra during the funeral when he was talking about the thickness of the Velaryon blood. That was, of course, the reason that Daemon laughed. Lots of viewers had trouble with his laugh, thinking that he was being very insensitive at his wife’s funeral. I’m also all on board with you about the relationship between Daemon and Rhaenyra. At least at this time when the Targaryen still had dragons they had a reason for the intermarriages. Later on maybe not so much. The one thing that I think is always important to keep in mind about Otto, is that he was the one who pushed Viserys to name Rhaenyra as his heir. Otto had so much of an issue with Daemon that he wanted to do whatever he could to make sure that Daemon was not the heir. And I keep thinking that this was his big mistake. If he had only waited to see if his play to get Alicent to become the next queen had worked out, then he wouldn’t have had to contend with Rhaenyra being the heir. Because presumably, if Viserys had never made Rhaenyra his heir then Alicent’s first son would have automatically been named the heir. So Otto has no one to blame but himself IMO. Can’t wait for your next episode!

2025-01-19 19:13:21 +0000 UTCCan't believe I missed it on my first watch of this ep but near the start when Viserys says "There's a place for you in my court, if that's something you should need..." Daemon says "I need Rh- ... nothing." 😂

2025-01-19 19:03:24 +0000 UTCThank you for also laughing because I was also thankful that Rhaenyra and Daemon got together and thought to myself at least it’s only uncle and niece and not …. You know …. Twins lol … and it occurred to me that I’ve been in the Game of Thrones universe for too long lol
