I’m almost a month late to this but I’d just like to say- Rhaenyra’s children aren’t bastards. They are acknowledged by the King, Laenor, and Corlys as Laenor’s children- that makes them legitimate. Harwin Strong may be their father by blood but with the acknowledgment of the King, they are legitimate.

you pretty much said the same thing i said. She did think he was talking about her kid. What my other point here was if you are alicent, and you have heard even once viserys talk about his own vision of a male heir yet never heard of song of ice and fire,,, Its possible she MIGHT have thought about the male babe dream but in no world is it possible she couldve thought about a song of ice and fire.
In conclusion, I am not saying THAT is what she thought. Maybe she just took it very literally that he is saying aegon should be king without thinking about male babe dream but in NO world is she going to guess he is talking about ASoIAF

I have no idea where people are getting this idea that Daemon was trying to draw attention away. Laughing at something doesn't draw attention away from the thing - it's literally the opposite, laughing CALLS attention to it. Daemon giggled because the situation is funny and absurd and he is Deamon who doesn't give a shit about decorum.
Julien
2024-06-21 16:57:44 +0000 UTC
It wasn't to distract anything. He didn't care. Daemon laughed because he found it funny and absurd - and cares little about decorum. Not everything has to be some kind of calculation.
Also, laughing at something doesn't distract from it - quite the opposite. Anyone who wasn't listening or was lost in their own thoughts would have perked up and started listening. Deamon laughed because it was funny. No distraction.

I didn’t read the books, but read that in them, it says Aemond looks older than Aegon, even though he’s younger.

That’s actually not true at all lol she just thought he was talking about her kid I’m pretty sure that was the only time he ever talked to her about the prophecy and that was only because he was drunk.

No all the Targaryens either a prince or princess that’s why you still hear them call daemon prince and rhaenys princess…only the oldest child of the king would be heir tho.
Caraxes🐐DT
2024-06-20 19:23:53 +0000 UTC
Ok, just my opinion but ....in the fight between the children I believe Aemond is at fault 100%. The entire fight started because he was putting down the girls dead mother, he hit both girls, calling the boys bastards and was threatening with a rock. Yes, the girl hit him first....after he provoked her...but she's a GIRL. I can't speak for anyone else but where I'm from...if you hit girls and then have a rock intending on busting skulls......you'll be lucky to only lose an eye.
Aemond absolutely earned the dragon, though. He could've given time for her daughter to grieve and attempt to claim it but he claimed it properlyeither way. When talking to Vagar, he says, "Dohaeris" (serve or obey) "Lykiri" (calm down) and "Soves" (fly)
I also think Alicent's kids have just had all of the succession and threats on their lives shoved down their throats for so long they can't get past it long enough to have a positive relationship with the other kids. Even Alicent wants to make peace and accept Rhaenyra as queen but Otto will not let up. Since Aemma passed....Otto's main concern in every choice he's made is achieving power by getting the throne. He's so much like Littlefinger.....or should I say Littlefinger is exactly like him. I mean....what kind of man pawns his teenage daughter off on a grown man like that for power? (Corlys wasn't any better) Otto was very manipulative moving in the shadows.
Viserys obviously treats Rhaenyra differently. I believe that's because she's Aemma's daughter. Emma was his true love. Rhaenyra is also 100% Targaryen while his other children are 1/2 Targaryen and 1/2 Hightower. He's partial to her though it is unfair.
2 more to go....they're really good episodes so I'm excited! Great reaction! As always!

you do have to remember back in episode 3, viserys told alicent that he had a dream that a male babe born to him wearing conquror's crown as he placed him on the iron throne. He told this to aemma in ep1 as well. who knows how many times alicent has heard that dream from viserys in all those years other than ep3. So if he randomly says another prophecy to alicent about song of ice and fire without context, in her mind he is still talking about the dream viserys had about his son on the throne and then he said the words like "You must do it" , "Aegon" etc. Its not far fetched that alicent assumed he wants prince aegon to be king after him.

Daemon laughed because during Vaemond Velaryon's eulogy, he was taking subtle shots at Rhaenyra and her kids basically calling them bastards and people were starting to look. It was to distract the attention off Rhaenyra and the kids to Daemon and to let Vaemond know Daemon sees what he's doing.

Alright Mr. O, you know it doesn't always result in pregnancy when 2 people bump uglies right? I took it to mean that yes Laenor was successful at getting it done but nothing came of it. It seems to me they did a better job at trying than Mhargery & Renley.

Yes, he thought he was talking Rhaenyra. I think Paddy Considine deserved an award for role as Viserys. The old God's of the Starks yes. Did you notice how the people stood on opposite sides when Alicent sliced Rhaenyra arm. Blacks and the Greens. I can't stand Cristian Cole. I know that Rhaenyra had illegitimate children but Alicent her best friend was seeing Rhaenyra father and not telling her and doing her daddy's bidding, she knew it was wrong, if it wasn't wrong why not tell Rhaenyra. Viserys said my only child when he saw her after 6 yrs.

Mr.October is giving Otto more grace than he deserves. He is a scheming, heartless snake just like littlefinger. Ambition is not his downfall but the way he tries to obtain power. Instead of proposing the king marry alicent like every other lord did with their kids, he sends alicent in hours after the queens death to pretend like she cares. He cares for nothing but power even at the expense of his daughter. Yet you question lord corlys ambition even though he is willing to accept a bastard child as heir. It was not just to keep the bloodline going but he clearly stated he didn’t want to cast a dark shadow over Luke and Jace. His son claimed them as his true born sons and he is honoring that.

The time jump since the last episode was 6+ years. Rheanyra's pregnancy is her third with Daemon. Just because they showed her pregnant belly first before showing her other two kids with Deamon doesn't mean there was yet another time jump within this episode. There wasn't.
They did the same thing in the first episode with the adult Rhaenyra (ep 6). They showed her giving birth. Then when you get to her quarters you see that she already had Jace and Luke.
Julien
2024-06-19 23:09:19 +0000 UTC
Corlys and Rhaenys probably have the most wholesome marriage in the show. That he is an extremely ambitious man (and rightly so) doesn't change that. Couples are allowed to disagree or argue without their marriage being put into question. Sorry but it's wild to me that you think he doesn't love her because of a single convo.

The show is meant to be different in that way though. I think that’s the whole point/theme. People in the fandom just like some flawed characters more than others in the show, no matter how good or bad. It’s very different from GOT to compare.
It’s Angie
2024-06-19 21:14:17 +0000 UTC
Its moving fast because season 1 is just the prologue. And my interpretation is, its more of Viserys loving Rhaenyra more than anyone else. She is a true born Targ in his eyes, from a marriage of love not a political one, hence he called her “his only child”. Viserys dont care about Alicent’s kids. Btw in the throne room you can see “the blood of the dragon runs thick”. Basically all the Targs stood up for each other for Luke.

2024-06-19 20:41:01 +0000 UTC
My main issue with HOTD is it lacks any characters with honor. At least in GOT you had the Starks, and a few others like Davos and Brienne. Viserys was close, but he is also too accommodating to keep the peace. When everyone is so flawed, as these characters are, it is hard to find one worth rooting for. I like Daemon, he is the most compelling character, but he is still a jerk. This show lacks and needs a Jon Snow...
Peter K
2024-06-19 20:33:22 +0000 UTC
Viserys coming into the throne room always makes me cry. Also I feel for Vaemond but he’s being a bit ambitious. Since Lucerys is betrothed to Rhaena who has Velaryon blood the next heir to driftmark would be a velaryon in name and blood so Vaemond just wanted the title and didn’t let it go lol
StephL
2024-06-19 20:18:46 +0000 UTC
I don't think alicent is thinking about the prophecy at all and didn't understand any of that and she thought he was only saying he wants Aegon to be Heir now.

I think alicent and rhaenrya were being sincere with each other at the dinner table, and deep down miss their friendship.
It’s Angie
2024-06-19 19:55:07 +0000 UTC
I think it not only has to do with the gods flipping a coin with targareyans but also based on how they were raised. Viserys seems to favor rhaenrya more than his other children. He even tells rhaenrya, “my only child.” Which is pretty sad for his other kids lol. Plus alicent had her kids out of duty (I’m not saying she doesn’t love her kids, she does) and rhaenrya had hers out of duty as well but also for love. And idk it just goes to show how the kids were raised. Also aegon and heleana are married if you guys didn’t know, that’s why she says what she says when she’s toasting to baela and rhaena. And why jace asked to dance with her because he felt bad. Also, sorry one more thing, aegon and heleana already have two kids together, just in case you guys get confused later when they show them.

Where you was talking about rhaenyra thing splitting off to 3 in the intro it represents her 3 kids…daemon is the one with the helmet and you can see his kids split into 2 on his as well because he only has 2 with the 3rd one dying.

The season is moving fast because this is basically all prologue. This entire story is pretty small in the book so they just used season 1 to quickly set the stage for the bulk of the source material to start in season 2.
Christian
2024-06-19 18:07:01 +0000 UTC
It's interesting because Corlys is treating the Velaryon name like a corporation rather than a family or bloodline. The Samurai did the same thing, the goal was for the family name to live on, they didn't care about blood.

Daemon started giggling at the funeral because Vaemond was speaking kind of indirects towards Rhaenyra and her children that they were not true Velaryons. And it was obvious. And so daemon giggled to draw attention away from them into himself.

Also, you guys probably missed it a couple of episodes ago but Helaena, Allicent's daughter, can see the future and predicted what happened to Aemond. Their mom said he would have a dragon one day and Helaena said "You'll have to close an eye to do so."
