00:00:25
What's up hybrids, welcome back to another episode of phantom
00:00:28
hybrid podcast. This is hanako and I am here
00:00:30
with Anthony and Michelle and we are discussing the season finale
00:00:35
of House of the dragon and we are a little bit late with this
00:00:43
life has been happening. In other shows, have been
00:00:45
happening and we just hadn't gotten around to it, but I think
00:00:48
this has given us time to really go back and re-watch and reflect
00:00:52
on all of the mess. Yes, that happened in this.
00:00:56
Yes, definitely. So everything that happened in
00:01:06
this episode is leading into the story that will come the next
00:01:10
season, which I believe we are getting in 2024.
00:01:15
So, now that we're at the end of 2020 to, that doesn't seem as
00:01:20
far away. But it's still far away.
00:01:23
Yeah, it does anyway. Let's get to it.
00:01:27
So, in the last episode, you know, we have the death of King
00:01:30
viserys, we had the greens usurping, the throne and placing
00:01:37
that toerag aegon I think he doesn't even want the crowd.
00:01:46
But anyway, that's near neither here, nor there.
00:01:50
So we ended the episode with Ray nice flying off on her dragon.
00:01:57
Basically, with the look to the queen and all her people like
00:02:00
I'm about to run. Tell that Oh, we got the green
00:02:06
side of the story. Now, it's time to get the black
00:02:09
side of the story. First thing I want to talk about
00:02:14
what we see in this episode. We've got to talk about that
00:02:17
table, because yes, yes, it was me and the other show.
00:02:22
But we never knew how magnificent this table was until
00:02:26
the beginning. Till the opening scene of this
00:02:29
episode. You talked about people losing
00:02:33
like information Over the time and it's only been like what
00:02:37
hundred years or something and they forgot, they forgot how to
00:02:42
light the table. Bailey directions now, they
00:02:44
didn't leave directions. So this table, this is the table
00:02:49
that is in the War Room on Dragonstone.
00:02:51
We've seen it plenty of times when Daenerys was there on
00:02:53
Dragonstone when she had her her War councils?
00:02:56
We seen. The table is carved in stone and
00:03:01
it's got all of the different, you know?
00:03:04
Big places that's in Risk Westeros.
00:03:08
So it's basically a map of the whole country and its got like
00:03:12
these candles and everything and it's really pretty.
00:03:15
And we don't see how awesome it is at the beginning, his towards
00:03:20
the end. But because they LED with that,
00:03:23
we got to talk about this tape is so ornate.
00:03:28
Oh my God, like the detail on this table is amazing.
00:03:34
And you never really see it up close like that in Game of
00:03:37
Thrones. But then this one like you see
00:03:40
all of the carvings even the house names and the castle
00:03:45
names. And you see the little markings
00:03:48
for, like the people who are supposed to be there in the
00:03:50
trees and this that and the other is so beautiful.
00:03:54
But the thing we never realized about it is they have all the
00:03:59
candles and they put them on this little thing kind of, I
00:04:02
look at it like one of those things that you That you do the
00:04:05
Brick Oven pizzas with, and they slide it under the table, and
00:04:12
the table starts to illuminate. Like, there's lava going into
00:04:18
all of the openings and it literally likes the table up.
00:04:21
And I was like, why did they wait until almost the end of the
00:04:24
episode to show us? This they should have showed us
00:04:26
this at the beginning. Of course, they weren't planning
00:04:28
your, at the beginning. So that's why but that table.
00:04:34
I don't know if that's something that they came up with during
00:04:36
this show, when they said, okay, they look back at Game of
00:04:41
Thrones and they were like, what can we do with this table to
00:04:43
make it more? I don't know.
00:04:45
Spruce it up a little bit. That's how able is amazing.
00:04:51
Like, can I get one? I don't just work with my cats
00:04:55
but no, no, no, no. It's very similar is very
00:05:00
similar to the dagger where we don't know.
00:05:02
There's a dagger. If you stick the dagger and
00:05:04
fire, it has words on it. So it's almost like a metaphor
00:05:10
for how information is lost how things have been lost over time,
00:05:16
right? Yeah, you're right also.
00:05:19
I think for me it also just kind of symbolizes that, you know, if
00:05:25
you think about it, all of these things that's happening the
00:05:28
information that's passed. It also shows you how things can
00:05:32
be. Misinterpreted you think about
00:05:35
what happened with Queen Allison when she was listening to this
00:05:38
heiresses last words, you know, his mind.
00:05:41
He's talking to rhaenyra and her mind.
00:05:44
He's saying that he wants their son on.
00:05:46
On the throne and it's just that little that little bit of
00:05:49
misunderstanding misinformation that is literally about to lead
00:05:53
to a whole War. Just the little detail with the
00:05:58
table and a little detail with the dagger because I think even
00:06:01
with that dagger and Game of Thrones that dagger came to You
00:06:10
know it went from Little from Tyrion to little finger to the
00:06:14
Assassin, backed is just it passed through so many hands
00:06:20
with no knowledge of what the true, what words or was a what
00:06:25
the true purpose of that dagger was and I find that very
00:06:28
interesting because that is something that happens a lot.
00:06:32
You know, with different families with different
00:06:34
cultures. You know, a lot of a lot of the
00:06:37
history is lost. Because of that type of thing.
00:06:40
And I just thought that that was that table was just so cool to
00:06:44
look at. And I was like, The table lit
00:06:50
up, she wasn't a lot. Well, you know, not that you
00:06:57
would think that your house of fire that you would just put it
00:07:00
just set everything on fire and see what happens.
00:07:03
It just light a match to it, see like everything a secret code,
00:07:06
but you say that about we lose things, it's almost like the
00:07:09
same thing with losing the information that was passed down
00:07:13
to her because she's the only one who got the information from
00:07:16
her day. Yeah.
00:07:18
And I think, is she gonna pass it to someone else before she
00:07:21
passes? Yeah.
00:07:23
So Anthony you mentioned that too?
00:07:26
As far as, you know, maybe they could have held off or they
00:07:30
could have done so much more against the White Walkers, if
00:07:34
the information wasn't only passed from air-to-air, why keep
00:07:40
it such a secret? Shin because, of course he wants
00:07:49
to go to war with everything that's going on and she's trying
00:07:52
to tell me look, you know that this is bigger than you or me
00:07:55
and he's looking at her confused and when she mentions aegon's
00:07:59
dream, she realizes that he does not know about that prophecy.
00:08:06
Because her father never told him and I thought that that was
00:08:10
really interesting because before rhaenyra was named are
00:08:17
Damon was next in line. Hmm.
00:08:21
And is he never shared it with his brother.
00:08:25
So I was one of those things where it's like, did you really
00:08:29
not trust your brother with this information?
00:08:32
Or were you just that hopeful that you would have a male Heir?
00:08:38
And it's just the way that Damon reacted once he realized.
00:08:42
And once rhaenyra pointed it out, oh, he never told you It's
00:08:47
kind of like, you know, we talk a lot about Matt Smith and his
00:08:51
his acting without words and you see that a lot in this episode
00:08:56
as well, when he hears the news about his brother being dead,
00:08:59
just the emotions that come over his face because as contentious
00:09:04
as their relationship was he still loved his brother.
00:09:08
We are, I think we all know that we talked about it, so to hear
00:09:12
that, his brother is actually dead.
00:09:14
And then the events that come after that, You see all of this
00:09:18
on his face and then even when she when they have that
00:09:21
confrontation because he actually puts his hands on
00:09:24
rhaenyra during this because of course she doesn't want to go to
00:09:28
war, he does. But she's the queen now so he
00:09:32
has to follow what she wants. But you can see it on his face.
00:09:35
Not only the anger about her knowing about the information
00:09:41
but also hurt is like he realized his brother never meant
00:09:46
for him to They are either way. And that's got to hurt, you
00:09:51
know, because for all intents and purposes of until Damon got
00:09:55
fed up, he was viserys is ride or die.
00:10:01
He was the one that was there protecting his brother, trying
00:10:03
to make sure that nothing will happen to him.
00:10:06
He stood behind him up until he couldn't, but he still supported
00:10:11
his brother. Even when they seem like they
00:10:14
weren't on the same terms, right?
00:10:17
They they still were kind of looking out for each other.
00:10:20
Yeah, I mean they just had different approaches to that,
00:10:30
you know, viserys was the one who wanted peace, he was the
00:10:33
peaceful king. That's what, that's what he's,
00:10:36
you know, called in the books, he's the peaceful King.
00:10:40
Damon not so much, I don't think Damon knows what peace means.
00:10:47
No, he just wanted to show everyone that we are in charge
00:10:51
and there's no question like what we say, goes period, that
00:10:56
that was him, especially when he was in charge of the Gold Coast.
00:10:59
He's like, yeah, we punished everyone in one night like we
00:11:04
said, can you didn't take your time, do it?
00:11:06
No. No, no.
00:11:06
We knew who all they all were in?
00:11:07
We did. We need to do because he wanted
00:11:10
to show Them who's in charge business.
00:11:14
It kind of worked for a while. They said as much.
00:11:45
But it's surprisingly the ninjas aren't full, right?
00:12:42
He feels that day. Like okay so y'all want to do
00:12:46
for this or whatever you know it's like I have Dragons It's
00:12:49
not going to stop fighting basically you know right?
00:12:53
Right. I don't know if I could borrow
00:12:55
some shit down though. Yeah, he would.
00:12:58
Yeah, that was, that's another thing that they mentioned in
00:13:01
this that kind of parallel Game of Thrones because when they
00:13:05
were talking about going to war after all of this, once they
00:13:08
find out that viserys is dead and, you know, basically they
00:13:12
figure out or at least East Damon thinks that Alison has had
00:13:17
him killed or something to that nature.
00:13:19
When they get ready to go to war, once they realize that a
00:13:22
guy has been crowned you know, that's one of the things they
00:13:26
said oh we have dragons. We can we can just go in and
00:13:30
just burn shit down. And rhaenyra said, the same
00:13:33
thing that Daenerys said, she said I don't want to be Queen
00:13:38
over ashes and, you know, ashes, hi.
00:13:43
And it was just watching this episode and seeing the
00:13:47
similarities, I was just kind of like, okay, so are they going to
00:13:51
show us a repeat of Daenerys? Or are they going to show us how
00:13:57
raining Raining mirror is different from Daenerys because
00:14:01
you know, for eight seasons, they built up Daenerys and Game
00:14:06
of Thrones she's going to be the will break or she's going to be
00:14:09
the one to do things different. She's not going to be like the
00:14:11
Mad King and then in the last few episodes of season eight,
00:14:15
what did they do? They turn her into What she's
00:14:20
been saying for Seven Seasons? She was not going to be, so I'm
00:14:24
just kind of wondering if they're going to do the same
00:14:26
thing with rhaenyra, especially with everything that happened
00:14:28
towards the end of this episode. Or is she going to be the one to
00:14:32
stick to her guns and say? Okay, I'm not going to become
00:14:35
this person. I'm not going to become this
00:14:36
person. I'm just kind of like, oh no,
00:14:40
it's not that. At the end of the episode.
00:14:48
She has been her father's child. Like the peaceful.
00:14:52
We're going to try to figure out a peaceful way to do this but
00:14:55
also when it came to Syria said about her and Damon is like she
00:14:58
has a bit of a dragon. She's very unpredictable.
00:15:02
So, you know, and volatile and all good stuff at the end of the
00:15:06
episode that other side of her is coming out.
00:15:08
I'm just saying so some seat will get burnt.
00:15:13
I'm just saying the difference like, with the nearest is, you
00:15:17
know, people who have gone back. Act like I haven't re-watched
00:15:19
it, but people who have gone back and they're like, the signs
00:15:24
are always there. She basically solved every
00:15:27
problem actually came across the dragons.
00:15:29
Yeah, it's a great thing for fire.
00:15:31
Yeah, she did. So, you know, I'm one of those
00:15:35
people I'm leaving. It was it?
00:15:37
I know that everyone hates how it ended.
00:15:40
I get it, I get it. However, There was science all
00:15:45
along that she won, right? It was signs all along.
00:15:51
She wasn't. Right?
00:15:53
So what she did, I can believe it burning the people.
00:15:57
I can believe it. Like she don't care about these
00:15:59
people. Okay, it's not her people are
00:16:03
in. There is different and there it
00:16:05
is. Yeah, born of peace and
00:16:07
tranquility and things happen like that, you change your mind,
00:16:15
real quick. Thank you.
00:16:51
Limbo. We don't know if he's gonna live
00:16:54
or die and we start out the episode with loose Eros and his
00:16:58
mother because he's fretting about it.
00:17:02
He's like I can't sighs, you know he was like Lord cordless
00:17:09
is the sea. Snake is the most renowned
00:17:13
sailor. He's earned his title.
00:17:18
I've never I get, I get sick getting on a boat.
00:17:22
How am I supposed to really? Which is a valid question and I
00:17:30
love again. You know, we talked about the
00:17:32
contrast of the parenting style between rhaenyra and queen
00:17:37
Allison. And again, you can see that
00:17:39
fully on display in this whole episode.
00:17:41
Renewal loves her kids. Yes, she does.
00:17:45
And she's very supportive of them and she's very encouraging
00:17:48
about and I think that's what makes the end of the episode
00:17:55
more heartbreaking. Because she's already pregnant
00:18:00
in this episode. And when she gets news of her
00:18:05
father's death, when Princess rhaenys comes, she tells her
00:18:11
viserys is dead. Now this No tact.
00:18:17
No compassion. She just the saris is dead.
00:18:23
Is this how we tell people that their fathers are dead?
00:18:27
You can soften that up. I mean, I understand things are
00:18:30
Urgent. They just, they just crowned,
00:18:33
your, you know, her half-brother King behind their backs and all
00:18:37
this other stuff, but you could have had a little bit of Tak in
00:18:44
it. Of compassion for this woman who
00:18:49
literally just saw her dad to come and be like, oh, the saris
00:18:54
is dead. They named Dagon King.
00:18:57
They're about to come for you and your children.
00:19:01
What'd she have to see have to give it to her straight?
00:19:04
See anything through the street because there's no, it's not any
00:19:06
time to be. Yeah, that's basically that was
00:19:09
he was like, I don't need you to be crying over here on the
00:19:13
floor. I need you to get yourself
00:19:14
together because it is on now what you see what you gave it to
00:19:18
her all at once. and of course, I guess she's
00:19:44
trying to hold it in or she's trying to process everything.
00:19:47
She put some undue stress on herself.
00:19:50
This baby starts to come early. Wait, let me add one thing,
00:19:57
Damon see what everyone else wanted to say.
00:20:00
Why didn't you take care of it? When you were already in the
00:20:04
dragon pit and she said, But I just love that in there because
00:20:18
we always thinking, she just take care of this problem.
00:20:21
He's got the same thing. You can answer care of this
00:20:23
problem. I mean, because she would have
00:20:29
wiped out everyone who would have started the war correct.
00:20:32
I never would have gone there. Black.
00:20:34
Okay, the cool thing is here. I was like what what what
00:20:38
recourse everyone who would have started?
00:20:43
That's true. With the release of a point and
00:20:46
no one can write either the dragons.
00:20:48
Insincere equally I think it is perfectly justified in doing it
00:20:53
based on how she was treated. Yep.
00:20:55
You know, you basically held her prisoner and a tyranny in front
00:20:58
of her. She could F, but she did.
00:21:01
He thought she saw those lures being executed like, for the
00:21:04
research. She she I think she could have
00:21:06
been Justified because she's this is what we could have been
00:21:09
hung to. Yeah, but you got it.
00:21:17
I guess you could say she's in a weird position because of course
00:21:20
she doesn't. She doesn't support the greens
00:21:23
and rhaenyra is still her family by Blood, but she still thinks
00:21:28
rain area is responsible for her son's death.
00:21:33
So she was going to help them. We have the part at the in the
00:21:50
Middle where she gets crowned queen everyone, bends the knee
00:21:54
except for a nice. When they are in the War Room.
00:21:58
Everyone's basically saying we're yours.
00:22:02
Our people are yours. Our soldiers are yours.
00:22:04
Ray needs to still sitting in the background just kind of
00:22:06
looking like, I'm not in this is.
00:22:11
Yeah. But she just she was giving her
00:22:12
not of approve me. So few times like yeah.
00:22:15
Tell him take charge. Yes, because I think she I think
00:22:20
she understood like she tells little cordless when we finally
00:22:23
see him when he wakes up and they're sitting there talking.
00:22:26
She says, that girl is the only thing that's holding the kingdom
00:22:30
together. Now, she's holding the realm
00:22:32
together because she wants to go to war.
00:22:36
She's trying to find a peaceful solution.
00:22:38
She's not trying to plunge the realm into death and darkness
00:22:43
and all of this other stuff. But it's not a tool or cordless
00:22:47
actually looks at her and was like, okay, you have, you know,
00:22:51
you have my fleet behind you that releases like, oh, okay, I
00:22:55
guess this is What we're doing, this is where our Lord see is,
00:22:58
and then you start seeing her step up.
00:23:00
But before that, she was like, just I just ain't got nothing to
00:23:03
do with me. I have no skin in this game.
00:23:06
My children are gone. I don't care what y'all do.
00:23:09
She was like, my cousin is gone. Now, just at this point, she's
00:23:13
like, just leave me the fuck alone.
00:23:14
Keep me out of your politics. Keep me out of your family
00:23:17
drama. I want no part of.
00:23:19
It has nothing to do with me. You know, her granddaughter's
00:23:24
are already Patrol to, which would have drawn them in at some
00:23:32
point. But I think even with that, she
00:23:34
would have, she was just like, I don't want to deal with this,
00:23:38
but she has two special her granddaughters because now they
00:23:42
become enemies of the state. so, your perspectives like, Yeah,
00:23:53
enemies of the state or in the Muse of the usurper, which is
00:23:58
kind of those series. Is that the whole song of ice
00:24:10
and fire is being a critical of these monarchies and things
00:24:18
being passed down through blood just face, Tan blood, and that
00:24:22
experience. So whatever.
00:24:24
He and I like how they carried over here because, like, what
00:24:28
did when does? Nope?
00:24:29
Me. Like, during Medieval Times the
00:24:31
oath oath that people made is where it held everything
00:24:35
together. So if you break those, those
00:24:37
housed, anything understand like it was against the law to hurt.
00:24:42
Someone who stayed in your house as a guest, right?
00:24:46
But here it is, the target. Right?
00:24:51
You're not supposed to do that and, you know, hanging Lords,
00:24:54
you know, this because you think they're gonna go against you and
00:24:58
all that stuff is sort of that brings chaos and confusion
00:25:04
because your oath is supposed to mean something.
00:25:06
So all those Lords who are breaking their oath, they're the
00:25:10
ones that's going to cause this whole thing to go going to chaos
00:25:12
because they could have just as easily been like, no, no we're
00:25:16
not gonna go along. Everyone has like, well no, we
00:25:18
all squirrel stew. To renew it and like, she
00:25:22
supposed to be the queen. And yes, yeah, I didn't swear
00:25:31
this, so right. But that's what, that's what
00:25:34
creates the problem is that the ulcer supposed to mean
00:25:37
something, because if that's the case, then what's the point of
00:25:41
view of making a note, you know, So it's just a little seems to
00:25:47
think about when you can see how all this is playing out in the
00:25:50
chaos that occurs from people breaking their Oaths.
00:25:54
Well I guess he's actually breaking his open because you
00:25:58
know oh he promised to marry my daughter like so what do you
00:26:04
have to offer? So now your loyalty is for sale
00:26:08
and and that's not how all that stuff is supposed.
00:26:11
Yeah well you being threatened you have to change your old.
00:26:14
Yeah. So Okay, I'm sorry we've been
00:26:17
off on a tangent. That is think it's a it's a
00:26:20
really good. It's really good commentary on
00:26:25
the importance of host during those times.
00:26:27
Yeah because I mean if you look at it and compare it to the way
00:26:31
politics are now it kind of makes sense that The sun doesn't
00:26:37
necessarily have to follow what the father believed.
00:26:40
You know what I'm saying? Because if you go in our times,
00:26:43
think about our own elections, you have families who have been
00:26:46
Republicans for years and they may have children or
00:26:50
grandchildren who go the opposite way and go to Democrat.
00:26:54
So go to Libertarians or you know, whatever and vice versa
00:26:59
you have families that were democrats for years.
00:27:01
And you spit out this one Republican over here is kind of
00:27:03
like but that's not how we raised you this is not what we
00:27:06
Taught you. Those children are learning to
00:27:10
think for themselves and they may have some things that's
00:27:13
going on there like, okay. I know that this is what you
00:27:16
said, we should do. But this is wrong.
00:27:18
That's wrong. I don't agree with this.
00:27:21
And so I'm going to forge my own path.
00:27:23
But like you said in these times, that whole forging the
00:27:26
own path, it causes a lot of chaos.
00:27:29
It causes War. Because here you are your
00:27:33
support. Everybody is supposed to like if
00:27:35
everybody who has sworn the oath to rhaenyra sworn fealty to her.
00:27:42
If they had just stepped up and told the greens, no, this is not
00:27:45
flying. When they've been an issue.
00:27:50
It wouldn't have been an issue and I mean, you see what
00:27:52
happened? Speak up in the last episode.
00:27:55
Lord, boar is a boar roast. That's, that was his name.
00:27:59
The 10. And the first meeting ya is not
00:28:09
what he wanted, and he would not make this kind of huge change.
00:28:15
This is not right. We're not going to do this.
00:28:18
He got killed for it. Granted, it was an accident but
00:28:21
he was still killed for. And, you know, sir Harold, when
00:28:28
I don't, Hightower gave him the command, you need to go to
00:28:31
Dragonstone. Take some people, you need to,
00:28:33
you need to kill them all. He was like, um, we have no
00:28:36
King. I am a swarm member of the
00:28:38
King's Garden until we have a king.
00:28:40
I do a shit for y'all. He threw down his white cloak
00:28:42
and he left. You know, so you have to have
00:28:46
those kinds of people who will stand up and just like, what's
00:28:50
his name, Sir? Eric Who basically betrayed the
00:28:58
greens betrayed, his twin brother to get princess rhaenys
00:29:03
out of the castle to get King. Viserys has crown of the castle.
00:29:11
He made his way to Dragonstone Bethany immediately and swore
00:29:16
fealty to Queen rhaenyra. Which was one of the best scenes
00:29:23
in the whole episode. I was like, oh, this is nice.
00:29:27
But then You just want to get your twinbrook, like your
00:29:32
convictions are that strong that you were like, okay?
00:29:34
Yeah, because of what he said it when he saw he's like, that boy
00:29:38
is not right. They stand behind this.
00:29:59
but anyway, so let's let's go with the bad stuff first.
00:30:06
Like we said, rhaenys comes in. She tells Rainier and Damon.
00:30:11
That viserys is dead and that the greens have basically usurp.
00:30:15
The throne, they crown and gone in front of the masses to make
00:30:19
it a point that he is the king. And rhaenyra goes into labor.
00:30:28
Now, we know the second time we've seen her in labor.
00:30:32
Yes. And we know they have had some
00:30:36
hard times with laborers on this show and just the way that she
00:30:44
was, like, dealing with all of this information.
00:30:47
First of all, you don't even have time to grieve your father
00:30:52
and grieve what you've lost before you go into this
00:30:55
life-threatening situation, because her baby was Do it.
00:30:59
This baby was premature and she was not having an easy time of
00:31:04
it. You know, we see that throughout
00:31:07
the episode, she won't even let her ladies-in-waiting touch her.
00:31:11
She won't let them help her because she knows what happens
00:31:14
with difficult births. She knows what happened to her
00:31:17
mother. She knows what happened to Lady
00:31:19
Lena. It's just one of those things
00:31:21
where she's like, nope, don't help me.
00:31:22
I'm going to figure this out on my own and at the same time, in
00:31:26
the midst of all of this. She's trying to make sure that
00:31:30
Damon does not burn the whole Kingdom down down, right?
00:31:37
In a midst of trying to give birth.
00:31:53
And I don't feel like she was screaming for him because she
00:31:57
wanted comfort from her husband. I think she just wanted to put
00:32:00
our eyes on him. Like, don't do anything please.
00:32:04
I want you doing. We've seen that Damon can be a
00:32:14
loving father. Yeah, we've seen it in the
00:32:17
deleted scenes that they robbed us of his girls.
00:32:21
And we also saw in in the brief glimpse of him and Bela when he
00:32:26
was teaching her, how to speak bulerias.
00:32:28
So, we know he can be a good father.
00:32:30
Okay, we saw him when him and rhaenyra brought the younger
00:32:35
kids to meet viserys. So we know that he can be a Jean
00:32:39
father, who knows maybe when she had the first two, maybe he was
00:32:42
there with her even though they're kind of different for
00:32:46
those times because men generally weren't in there with
00:32:49
women but Damon is not one. Do what people tell him to do so
00:32:54
he probably right kind of been in the right, who knows?
00:32:57
Yeah. But it's early for her.
00:32:59
So he may be thinking back about Baylor so he may not want to be
00:33:03
in a part of that but also he was consumed he was and I think
00:33:07
she by what goes next. Next, he had a lot of emotions
00:33:11
going on. Yeah.
00:33:11
It's like, he had a lot of things for his brother.
00:33:14
I mean, imagine. I mean his brother.
00:33:16
He just found out his brother pants and it just his kingdom
00:33:20
from his wife died in childbirth.
00:33:22
Now, his current wife is struggling.
00:33:25
It's tablet. Yeah, he's gotta.
00:33:26
Let me just take the kingdom away from her.
00:33:28
Yeah. Oh yeah.
00:33:34
Yeah. So he knows that his family is
00:33:41
also being threatened. So I do believe what you're
00:33:44
saying, Michelle. I think in some ways yes she
00:33:47
probably did want him or maybe it was calling him just because
00:33:51
she was in pain, but at the same time I think she was like,
00:33:54
please don't let him burn this shit down please.
00:33:56
Yeah, I think that's the main reason it was like, okay, I got
00:34:00
to make sure I keep him in check so you know how he is.
00:34:07
She called her two sons into the room with her.
00:34:11
And what did she tell? Just serious.
00:34:16
She was like I am the queen, whatever I have inherited you
00:34:21
are now. It's are nothing is done.
00:34:25
Without my consent, make sure you let Damon know and he went
00:34:28
in there. He was like my mama said, no.
00:34:31
So he could, he could, he could get my boys.
00:34:48
Let me tell me. Like he was getting mad.
00:34:52
He was like and no I'm the air. Didn't the Lord's?
00:34:57
Didn't love us? A don't you want to go be with
00:34:58
your wife? He's like no.
00:35:08
Yeah. He was just he was mad and and
00:35:12
rightfully so. but, We go through rainey's Rainier as you
00:35:22
know, her labor and she starts having flashes of her Dragon
00:35:27
while she's in labor. Then she delivers her own baby.
00:35:32
First of all, we got to talk about this again.
00:35:34
We said it the last time rhaenyra is a beast?
00:35:40
Yes, he is because yes, she is in pain and basically went down
00:35:47
and pulled her own baby out. We'll see reminds me of sorry.
00:35:56
Spoiler alert, the quiet place because the mom and the quiet
00:36:01
place, also gave birth in the tub while being quiet.
00:36:04
All at the same time with a he was the boss, right?
00:36:09
So, see what was the boss? The boss I could do it might be
00:36:15
passed out, help me, help me, please help me.
00:36:19
And the sad thing is when rhaenyra does finally deliver
00:36:22
the baby. Hmm.
00:36:26
Again, parallel to Daenerys. This baby was malformed, she was
00:36:33
missing a leg, she had scales and tails, it was just horrible.
00:36:41
Horrible. And we see her grieve, this
00:36:44
baby. Like, she's sitting there.
00:36:46
She's holding the baby rocking. The Damon comes to see her and
00:36:50
just kind of you know, doesn't say anything to her, leaves her
00:36:55
to be, he goes to mourn out on the beach because again, at this
00:36:58
point now you've lost your brother and your child in this.
00:37:02
In the same day you find out all this information in the same
00:37:05
day. He's just laid out on the beach.
00:37:08
Just Grieving rhaenyra is in the castle.
00:37:16
Swaddling her baby. She won't even let the silent
00:37:21
sisters come near this, child. And it was just it's one of
00:37:27
those things where you see the strength in both of these
00:37:30
characters, in the way that they react to certain things.
00:37:34
And in the way they grieved as well because I'm, you know,
00:37:39
granted I know Rainier is about peace and she wants to handle
00:37:43
things. Her way Damon is about striking.
00:37:47
While the iron is hot, Damon is about action.
00:37:51
He's about, you know, making plans and this is what we're
00:37:54
going to do. Do, I can't say that either one
00:37:56
of them were wrong in their approach.
00:38:00
What they in the things that they wanted, I can see the
00:38:04
reasoning on both ends, just like, even with rhaenyra later
00:38:08
on. She says, if there is to be a
00:38:10
war, I will not be the one who started.
00:38:12
I will not make the first room, you know, the first strike won't
00:38:15
be mine. Am I to understand that, you
00:38:21
know, what is it that we as parents tell our kids, or when
00:38:25
we were kids, our parents told us, you never start, you never
00:38:28
passed the first lick, right? The one to instigate the fight
00:38:32
because then the blame is on you, no matter what causes that
00:38:36
lead to be passed. That's all people are going to
00:38:39
say. Oh, you hit first.
00:38:41
You struck first, I don't care about the circumstances.
00:38:46
And I think right? The same with this and Rainier
00:38:49
knows that. You know, because think about
00:38:53
it, everybody. The whole damn country knows she
00:38:58
was The Heir Apparent. She was named heir of the
00:39:01
series. Had a whole fucking ceremony.
00:39:03
Yes, he did. Hey, do you have a new ceremony?
00:39:09
Right. Thank you, the last time it will
00:39:20
everyone saw him. He said, why are we here again?
00:39:25
Never settled already. So I really everyone.
00:39:31
Pretty pretty is pretty clear on his mind and say, all right?
00:39:34
Yeah, which is why if you think about it, you know the greens
00:39:38
weren't paying attention because why would he make such a big
00:39:42
display not what? Twice.
00:39:47
And say hey this is what I said I what is it that we say as
00:39:51
black parents don't make me repeat myself
00:40:05
or you know tell her father Otto can come in and say the king is
00:40:09
dead. He wanted a god yall already
00:40:12
know all the way about shit. And he just got this job back.
00:40:16
So why would y'all believe anything that comes out of his
00:40:20
mouth because that's what y'all wanted to believe?
00:40:24
Y'all weren't loyal to viserys, not in that sense.
00:40:28
Y'all are y'all are loyal to this, this so-called Rule and
00:40:32
this so-called law, that only men can succeed.
00:40:38
Have y'all thought that maybe some of the stuff that y'all
00:40:40
struggle with and the fact that over Larry is God y'all had
00:40:45
Kings ruling during that time. Maybe that's part of the
00:40:48
problem. Maybe, maybe not a woman.
00:40:51
Try it out and see how things might be a little different. but
00:40:55
no, you want to go a tradition and All that other stuff.
00:41:00
Okay? So anyway, rhaenyra and Damon.
00:41:05
They do have a funeral for their baby and it's during this
00:41:09
funeral that Sir Eric arise on Dragonstone walk.
00:41:13
Straight through the crowd, walks up to Damon, Damon turns
00:41:17
and looks at him and at first Damon was like, oh we bout to
00:41:20
fight sir. Are it drops to his knees?
00:41:22
He pulls out the crown, he gives it to Damon and he swears his
00:41:27
fealty. To Queen rhaenyra.
00:41:31
And again, that scene is so powerful because you have Damon
00:41:36
holding the crown and he's looking at the Targaryen symbol
00:41:40
and he's looking at the quite like this is his brother's
00:41:42
Crown. Like I think if he had doubted
00:41:45
anything in that moment about the serious death, that was the
00:41:48
moment. He really knew that his brother
00:41:50
was gone because he was holding that Crown in his head. and I
00:41:55
think also I'm not I'm not gonna lie, there may have been a
00:41:59
second While he was holding that Crown, we're legal film.
00:42:05
Is he taking the crown like? Oh okay?
00:42:09
Well, it's right here in my hands.
00:42:11
Now I could be I could be king and be done with it.
00:42:15
I have to say, I think that thought went through his mind.
00:42:19
Maybe not enough for it to be a solid thought, but, you know, it
00:42:23
was there or this. He was thinking about.
00:42:27
I thought he was thinking about his brother, that's not thought.
00:42:30
I thought he was thinking, he really is gone.
00:42:32
Yeah, that's what I'm saying he did.
00:42:33
But you can't tell me that the thought, didn't, at least cross
00:42:37
his mind before he turned around and got to his knees and said,
00:42:44
my queen you? Yeah, I just Like it might have
00:42:49
just yeah. It was the air like this.
00:42:52
Could have been me. This could have been me.
00:42:55
Or this is really committed meeting?
00:42:57
No, yeah. There do you?
00:42:59
Yeah, and no one can say it didn't cause that would cross
00:43:02
anybody's mind. Yeah.
00:43:03
That would cross anybody's mind. So one past you a trophy and you
00:43:09
gotta pass the someone else you look like him this could have
00:43:11
been me. So that's the got this damn
00:43:13
trophy. Come on.
00:43:16
Now let's be honest people right I mean to sit here and say that
00:43:21
it didn't go through his mind. I think that would be
00:43:22
unrealistic because yeah through all of this stuff even with
00:43:26
rhaenyra. He was still pissed off that he
00:43:29
was not the heir. So, and, and we all know, even
00:43:34
from childhood before it was a thing thing with them, he adored
00:43:39
rhaenyra You know what I'm saying?
00:43:41
So it's kind of like it wasn't the fact that, oh, I don't like
00:43:44
her, she can't be Queen. This was somebody he loved and
00:43:47
cared for and he was still pissed off.
00:43:49
Like no, I'm supposed to be king.
00:43:52
I'm supposed to fight. But the other thing that I,
00:43:58
well, I was thinking I was thinking, I can't wait to see
00:44:03
Eric and Eric have a fight because, you know, it's coming,
00:44:06
right? Because I feel like, I feel like
00:44:16
women which one is it Eric or Eric, I think Eric is the one
00:44:20
who is with the blacks, and Eric is the one that's with the
00:44:22
greens. But Eric left and came to
00:44:28
rhaenyra. Based on honor that is that is a
00:44:33
man of Honor. You know what I'm saying?
00:44:36
He saw things weren't right. He wasn't going to sit by and
00:44:40
just let it happen. I feel like at this point Sir,
00:44:43
Eric is probably just going to stay with the greens just on
00:44:47
principle. You know what I'm saying?
00:44:50
And it's when, when I do Hightower actually does show up
00:44:55
on Dragonstone to try to, Get princess rhaenyra to surrender.
00:45:03
You see the brothers on either side and you see the look
00:45:06
because Sir Eric is looking at his brother, like I can't
00:45:09
believe you fucking left. I can't believe you standing on
00:45:12
the opposite side of me. It was like that that look you
00:45:15
know, they say twins have that that secret language and they
00:45:18
have that to left it and you know that look was you traitor.
00:45:23
But I mean, I would rather be a traitor and stand up.
00:45:27
Something that stand up for something that I believe in
00:45:31
dancing. Just sit on a side because
00:45:34
that's just what we do. Like, you know, the shit that
00:45:38
they're doing is wrong. And you're over there anyway,
00:45:42
supporting them. I don't know.
00:45:47
I don't know. but, this part when Auto does show up at
00:45:56
Dragonstone and he makes the you got some major You got some
00:46:03
major? Yeah, that's not to say, he got
00:46:06
some major balls cuz you could have died.
00:46:10
I'm just saying. Did you do that?
00:46:14
And what happened, right? Near a showed up with her
00:46:16
dragon. And she did the same thing with
00:46:19
this time. This is a woman who has just
00:46:21
given birth to a stillborn baby and buried this child.
00:46:25
And you really want to come to where she is and the man, her
00:46:30
surrender and give her terms like, oh will really give you
00:46:35
can stay on Dragonstone. Your children will have places
00:46:39
in the in the court what was it? They miss a, I will rather feed
00:46:44
my children to dragons than to have them serve.
00:46:49
Even the core of what did he call them confit?
00:46:51
I mean, he called him all kinds of names.
00:46:54
That shit was funny. But the way he just said he was
00:46:56
just like I would rather feed my children to drag is it right
00:47:00
now. We're kind of turn and look at
00:47:01
him like excuse me, those are my children.
00:47:06
Is interesting. Once again she shows them Mercy
00:47:09
because he really could have been just burn them all to
00:47:12
Chris. What would, what would the
00:47:15
greens have done? Nothing.
00:47:18
Probably be a good time. Yeah.
00:47:20
Allison me of Center because I think it was
00:47:36
That was kind of like a gesture of their friendship and peace.
00:47:41
Offering the queen wants to remind you of the love you both
00:47:50
for each other and I was like if she really, really wanted to
00:47:56
honor the friendship that she Had with Reagan Era, which they
00:48:00
were in the process of men being at that laughs.
00:48:04
Yeah, they were stairs. Then you would have spoken up
00:48:08
against your father and his cronies and said this is not
00:48:11
right? This is not right, this is not
00:48:14
right because what will I don't have done is, was Otto gonna
00:48:18
really kill his own daughter? I don't think he would go that
00:48:21
far. No no no he might have.
00:48:25
I don't know if he would have killed Alison.
00:48:27
He might have imprisoned her. Are carted off to Old Town for
00:48:33
something and locked her away. Well, I just feel like Allison
00:48:38
and especially once she realized what was going on and had been
00:48:42
going on behind her back. I don't know, I felt like that
00:48:47
was the moment that she really should have stood up and voiced
00:48:54
what she wanted and what she felt was right.
00:48:57
You know what I'm saying? No, I mean, granted, I know you
00:49:01
want your son to be king? I know you do and I really feel
00:49:05
like at that moment that she was listening to viserys, she really
00:49:10
thought she heard what he wanted and she was trying to Be a
00:49:15
dutiful wife, I truly and wholeheartedly believe that.
00:49:21
but, This is a man that you were married to for a very long time.
00:49:28
Aside from Lord bees Barry you probably knew him best you know
00:49:34
that man didn't want a going on the throne.
00:49:36
You don't even want egg on on throw know you don't.
00:49:40
I think we should deal. Is he took those words to make
00:49:44
them fit with? She kind of want it, which is to
00:49:47
protect her keys and all the way.
00:49:49
She felt like she could protect them with his, well, wait, if
00:49:53
it's a consciously, if he's King, then they'd be protected.
00:49:58
Yeah. But that's toasty maybe you know
00:50:03
something. If she's mean immediately fit
00:50:05
for when there wasn't going to harm her brother's soon, as we
00:50:09
all know, man. So, but I do best that wasn't
00:50:13
part about those games. She would, the set them up.
00:50:15
I mean, she probably want to kill some other Lords and stuff
00:50:17
and gave them, you know, some man in property and castles and
00:50:21
set them up, you know. She really wanted was all all
00:50:37
absent, really everyone. It was particular case because I
00:50:40
do put that in her head that Renewables gonna kill me if she
00:50:45
became Queen because they will be, they won't be a threat.
00:50:48
If I do, you're trying to make everyone meet Nick and King this
00:50:51
only way they become a die, Now, I will say this.
00:50:57
I think she would have had a problem with amen.
00:51:00
I do think a man would have been a problem.
00:51:03
Even if let's say, if Alison had gone with what was going on, if
00:51:09
she had said, okay, your father said that raining Rainier is be.
00:51:15
Are she now becomes queen? You are her subjects, whatever.
00:51:20
A guy probably would have been happy as hell because again,
00:51:25
what has a one he never wanted it.
00:51:27
If rhaenyra is Queen, Gene and his nephew is the air.
00:51:32
That means he's go do whatever the fuck he wants.
00:51:35
He doesn't have to worry about. Yep.
00:51:39
Amen. On the other hand, we know Amy
00:51:42
wants it. So I think he would have he
00:51:46
would have been a problem. The only the only thing only
00:51:50
thing about that is as long as Damon was around, a man would
00:51:55
have been a problem. You know what I'm saying?
00:52:08
All them would have to do is stick his head in room.
00:52:11
What did you say? Amen, and we're set up.
00:52:15
What was Damon? Can you speak up a little
00:52:17
louder? I didn't hear you quite like I
00:52:20
heard vmin. Oh your name son, kind of rhymes
00:52:23
with demon. You want to end up like him.
00:52:26
Say it again. How attached are you to that
00:52:30
tongue of yours? You know.
00:52:34
Yeah. That way he knew it.
00:52:42
You like, well, if I was gonna say drawing sheet with him.
00:52:47
Yeah. Have to stop stones and you
00:53:17
know, what? Kind of temper that man has, I
00:53:18
mean, think about it, his brother offered to send him
00:53:21
help. And what did he do?
00:53:22
He went us for a whole Island full of enemies.
00:53:28
So we already know he has a temper Windows Damon a wrapped
00:53:31
too tight when it comes to certain things.
00:53:33
No, he is not. Yeah.
00:53:37
Is that. And and not only are you at this
00:53:41
point, insulting his wife Insulting his nephews.
00:53:47
You are insulting his family period.
00:53:52
Regardless of, if those boys are bastards or not, they still come
00:53:56
from Targaryen blood, they do review.
00:54:01
They steal Damon's blood brow, right?
00:54:07
And we know how they must feel about family.
00:54:08
He say it was ever first episode, you know how he feels
00:54:13
about Targaryen, but when you were to fire, pardon the pun,
00:54:31
What they're planning to do as far as who their allies are.
00:54:34
And you know, I think one of the things about rhaenyra I feel
00:54:39
like she is a bit not even certain things because in her
00:54:42
mind okay these people swore fealty to my father, they swore
00:54:46
fealty to me. So there are allies the you know
00:54:50
the veil my mother is from the veil so they're not going to
00:54:54
turn on their kin. Says when, yeah.
00:55:01
I mean, and granite, I think, part of that is also the cerasus
00:55:06
fault because I said this from from the time that he named
00:55:10
rhaenyra are. If you're going to name her, are
00:55:15
she should have been in all those small Council meetings
00:55:17
with everyone. She should have been learning
00:55:19
how you run the country. She should have been learning
00:55:22
the ins and outs of how the houses interact with each other.
00:55:26
Who this person is, how this person feels.
00:55:28
She should have been a Out of that.
00:55:30
And I think if she had been a part of that, I think maybe she
00:55:36
would have done things a little bit differently as far as her
00:55:40
allowing Jason Loop to go and treat with two of the houses to
00:55:45
try to make sure that they were allies.
00:55:46
I think she would have made different decisions that could
00:55:49
have turned things around a little bit differently.
00:55:53
But yeah, like why wouldn't the things he would have been doing
00:55:57
or cinnamon doing what was sending her around to the
00:56:02
different Lords in certain situations came up with stuff
00:56:06
came. Yep.
00:56:07
And to basically show that this is a person we are going to have
00:56:10
to deal with right and where she C is is like making those
00:56:16
decisions. Yeah, and wet cease.
00:56:17
It is is like me talking to you. So when she comes there, She
00:56:22
tells you all the stop fighting or we're going to do XYZ y'all
00:56:25
best believe it. And I think that that was one of
00:56:29
the, you're right. That was one of the biggest
00:56:30
problems. He didn't treat her like in
00:56:33
here. No.
00:56:34
Because the only time he say her round was the fatherhood
00:56:49
I know we kind of went here but there was a tender tender moment
00:56:54
between Renee aerith's release. And Corliss.
00:56:59
We, he base was like. Yeah, I think I made a mistake
00:57:02
by trying to go out to the room and she's like, yeah, only when
00:57:07
we start off, like you left me? Yeah.
00:57:10
Like, you literally left me. We lost our children.
00:57:13
Right? Right.
00:57:14
Yeah. Okay.
00:57:15
There's the tender moment started off.
00:57:17
You bastard. You left me basically basically
00:57:21
and look up and look at all the shit we in.
00:57:23
Now, this is what happens when man don't know how to deal with
00:57:27
emotions correct because what was he said?
00:57:32
I had, I had nothing left. I had, I don't know, something.
00:57:37
I was like, you had a wife. Sit right here.
00:57:39
You have your grandchildren and dollars, not just a
00:57:43
granddaughter. Train them
00:58:09
to protect them. You should have been there to
00:58:11
teach Luke how to be lord of the time, if he's, your are.
00:58:15
That's the other thing and it has to do. do I think it's just
00:58:20
With monarchies in general at least back in this time.
00:58:25
Nobody is teaching that airs with what to do.
00:58:28
They're like oh you're the air but you're not really including
00:58:31
them in stuff and teaching them stuff.
00:58:33
Think about it. Same thing with Robert Baratheon
00:58:36
and Joffrey. Yes, Robert was a little he was
00:58:40
a little arrogant, probably never thought he was gonna die,
00:58:44
but even if you don't die, suddenly, even if you're going
00:58:47
to die of old age, you still Still need to teach the person
00:58:50
who's going to come after you what they're supposed to do to
00:58:53
rule. When when Joffrey was killed,
00:58:58
someone should have been teaching timing.
00:59:00
And I know that, you know, Tywin was trying a little bit and I
00:59:04
know Circe was trying a little bit.
00:59:06
The Bastion of in something Robert should have been teaching
00:59:09
them because he was all of them even next.
00:59:14
Start to train those boys. Please mama.
00:59:18
Had to train. I think he did were wrong.
00:59:21
No, he didn't, because that's where he went wrong.
00:59:24
Because this mom had to help him along the way, if his dad truly
00:59:28
trained him, they wouldn't be in that shit either.
00:59:32
Well I think it was I think in a way it was they train them like
00:59:35
to be men and you know the expectations but not about
00:59:39
leadership because neither none of the men thought that they
00:59:42
were ever going to leave their part.
00:59:45
Well, I can tell you where I think run, this is kind of
00:59:48
awful. We're talking about.
00:59:49
The problem with Ned is that made wasn't trained either
00:59:55
because he was expected to be the Lord of Winterfell.
00:59:59
He was stabbed, he likes it. Even teen when his father and
01:00:03
brother with you. Yeah.
01:00:05
And so, you know, he took over, he didn't really know what he
01:00:09
was doing either. That's the point of, so we need
01:00:12
to try well, but no one expects to ever leave their position.
01:00:18
Yeah. Well I don't think I don't
01:00:20
retire. I don't think.
01:00:23
Yeah, I don't think his father over his brother knew they were
01:00:28
going to be executed, and they went to her.
01:00:31
Court, so know is, I think they probably they taught their sons
01:00:38
certain things they talked about, maybe, you know, taking
01:00:42
care of the land, taking care of the people.
01:00:44
I think the issue that was present with Rob was one.
01:00:50
He never expected to be out of the North because Nat start
01:00:53
never expected to leave the north.
01:00:56
He didn't want, you know, when when Robert became king, he
01:01:00
could have been handled, the Kingpin.
01:01:01
And he was like, no, I don't want to.
01:01:02
I'm just gonna go home and I'm gonna stay with my wife and my
01:01:06
kids also, because he was trying to protect John secret.
01:01:10
You know what I'm saying? He had to stay as far away from
01:01:13
the king and the kingdom as possible. so I don't think, I
01:01:19
think the problem was with Rob when you come out of Winterfell
01:01:25
and all this other stuff you're having to wage a war because of
01:01:30
the things that's happened because your father has been
01:01:32
captured, then he was executed, your sisters are missing, your
01:01:36
family is scattered to the Four Winds and now people are looking
01:01:41
to you to lead and I think he was never taught about war and
01:01:47
about Go to war and that sort of thing, because they never
01:01:50
expected that to happen. Yeah.
01:01:52
And that your word Yeah, but still prepared at your word, is
01:01:57
your word. Your word is your bond.
01:01:59
I can keep going by people, not prepared, and even go to the
01:02:01
store and they didn't repair the keys when they got kidnapped
01:02:04
him. I'm just saying no one is
01:02:06
preparing, like, prepare them a little bit, just prepare the
01:02:11
first episode. Nigga, it behaves, someone who
01:02:15
left the wall, and he's telling them your oath means something.
01:02:19
So, it wasn't like, Rob didn't get the listen right?
01:02:22
I just didn't listen. Okay.
01:02:24
Okay, put in the first episode, the first episode sets up
01:02:28
everything, your old means something.
01:02:31
When you break your oath, you have to suffer the consequences,
01:02:34
okay? He did but just training wise,
01:02:36
knowing really trying even run are has got trained her boys.
01:02:40
You they just now learning the language.
01:02:43
So a lot of things it's a lot of things about.
01:02:46
We just step away into the say training being prepared.
01:02:52
But what's to come? I do not because of Rob had just
01:02:56
made a girl like you suppose to know your shoot billion she
01:02:59
would have happened. It's almost a man.
01:03:02
I don't know if I believe that I may I think things would have
01:03:04
gotten screwed up and in other ways.
01:03:07
But yeah, it's just we won't even talk about that because
01:03:11
that, okay, but this is interesting because it relates
01:03:15
to it Jace. Was it don't loose what he's
01:03:17
saying to begin? Like I don't know what the fuck
01:03:19
I'm supposed to do as long. Cause it's fast.
01:03:22
I don't even like being on boats, right?
01:03:25
Not yeah. He was like, making me even pick
01:03:28
on a boat but he didn't even take a summer break with his
01:03:35
grandpa on the boat. This kind of see how things are
01:03:38
rare and I mean, but yeah, basically this he was
01:03:41
solidified. Well, I'm sorry not certified to
01:03:44
there's it was reiterated that he was going to be working the
01:03:48
past call. This should have taken him.
01:03:51
To Jeff Mauro? Yeah this is his own Adventures
01:03:56
trying to. Yeah.
01:03:59
Try to deal with his grief. Yeah.
01:04:02
Okay. I'm looking at the episode in
01:04:05
the back and this is when rhaenyra is coming into the War
01:04:08
Room For the First Time as Queen and she's got her walk and she's
01:04:12
got her guard. Now this thing it was serious
01:04:15
but it was funny at the same time because when she got ready
01:04:17
to step in the guard start stuff, she she turn around like
01:04:21
know No, don't follow me. And I know it wasn't supposed to
01:04:24
be funny, but I think it was funny because she was like, I
01:04:28
don't need all of this. I can walk across the room by
01:04:31
myself. I don't need y'all in front of,
01:04:33
you know, I don't need y'all to be me.
01:04:36
But I think the other thing that I like about this is when she
01:04:41
comes in and she kind of assesses, everyone who was
01:04:44
around the table, she's getting ready to go forth at to the head
01:04:49
of the table to kind of start. Doing things.
01:04:52
She looks at bail and she looks at rain and she was like, come
01:04:55
so it's like immediately. She's like, okay, you you girls
01:04:59
are going to be important. You're going to come to the head
01:05:01
of the table with me and I like that because again, I think it's
01:05:04
stresses how important family is to the targaryens, you know,
01:05:09
because she couldn't be like, oh y'all are females.
01:05:11
Y'all can just stay over here in the background which is what
01:05:15
most people would have done. We got y'all here.
01:05:20
Y'all are gonna come. Y'all are going to show their my
01:05:22
house is Unified and I think that was one of the things also
01:05:26
that tipped Lord cordless is hand when he finally decided
01:05:29
that you have the full backing of my fleet because he turned
01:05:34
around and looked at them girls and then girls standing that's
01:05:36
dumb boys. Like yeah, they ours they hours
01:05:40
we here. All right.
01:05:43
Well, if that's what we gotta do, this is what we're doing.
01:05:49
And when he's just sitting there looking like, but one of the
01:05:55
things about this episode, and I felt this from the beginning,
01:05:59
and yes, I've read, I've read this section of the book so I
01:06:02
knew what was going to happen, but it was just the way that
01:06:07
they really focused on rhaenyra and Luke's relationship
01:06:12
throughout the episode, you know, stuff from the beginning
01:06:16
when they're having a conversation about him being
01:06:18
lowered. Tides to them saying goodbye to
01:06:21
her when they make a decision they're like you should send us
01:06:25
as envoys and she's having that conversation with them.
01:06:28
They focus on her and Luke. And I was like if y'all if
01:06:32
nobody knew everybody would figure it out from V scenes
01:06:36
here, Luke is about to die because you're really, you're
01:06:43
really focusing on that relationship.
01:06:46
Not a Layman, really you? you know, we we get a few scenes
01:06:50
with her and Damon but their contentious at best You know,
01:06:55
these are two people who have two different mindsets that have
01:06:58
two different viewpoints on how to approach this conflict.
01:07:02
They're both grieving people that they love and they're just,
01:07:08
they're not on the same page at this point.
01:07:13
Her and Jason yeah you had the one little scene where she was
01:07:15
like I'm Queen your the are you need to make sure Damon doesn't
01:07:20
do squat without my say-so he does it.
01:07:24
He also shows that he steps up. But again the focus in this
01:07:28
episode was always on Luke and then the fact that it showed us
01:07:33
Luke's mission to the baratheon's.
01:07:38
I was like yeah this is not going to end well, first of all,
01:07:44
when he arrived on storms in, he got off his dragon.
01:07:52
And the lightning struck and you see.
01:07:58
That big as dragon in the background.
01:08:01
You should have turned around and went back home.
01:08:03
That's true. That's true.
01:08:07
I can't do this today. Not today.
01:08:10
You not today. Who was there?
01:08:14
You already know he has a grudge against you because you took out
01:08:18
his eye. You should have turned around
01:08:22
went back home and then the fact that you're there as a messenger
01:08:26
and not as a warrior, you animate been able to fight him
01:08:32
even if you were a warrior, this is a man.
01:08:35
He's one of the best there is when he got off and he
01:08:40
approached them and he was like I said, you know, I have a
01:08:42
message for the queen and he goes in, he tossed a little
01:08:45
Baratheon, aiming his, their first of all, or Baratheon
01:08:49
sitting there. Being very condescending and
01:08:53
patronizing to you that shit right there.
01:08:56
This yeah. Amen, of course.
01:09:05
With his my Lord strong and challenging him and talking
01:09:10
about. Yeah, you took my imma take
01:09:12
yours, you can just give me one. I'm not going to leave.
01:09:14
You completely blind and all this other stuff.
01:09:18
Like I applaud lure Baratheon for saying y'all are not about
01:09:23
to fight in my house because again like like you said,
01:09:25
Anthony you don't go into some like, this is not what you do.
01:09:30
Mmm, nope, this is not what you do. but when Loop get on their
01:09:36
dragon, And they left. He should have just I don't
01:09:42
know. You should have put some nitrous
01:09:44
on this dragon or something. Y'all should have got the hell
01:09:47
out. But that shot went when he's on
01:09:53
Eric's and he's he's flying and then you see, I forgot I forgot.
01:10:00
What the other dragons name was is a, is that vague our radar?
01:10:08
Flies above him and you see just how big the disparities between
01:10:15
the two. I was just like, baby, just go
01:10:18
home. Just just go as fast as you can
01:10:22
hit. Go fly logo into some Corners
01:10:25
that he can't get to, which he did a good job.
01:10:27
Now, I will say this, when they got into that little aerial
01:10:31
dance, Um he was doing a good job of evading Veigar naming and
01:10:39
I will say this even with everything that happened at the
01:10:42
end I don't think amen. Had malicious intent.
01:10:48
I think he was just being a bully and being an asshole and
01:10:51
he was trying to scare Luke. I don't think he meant for what
01:10:56
happened. What happened to happen?
01:10:59
Now, the dragons were doing what they wanted to do.
01:11:02
Writing even, and you've been Luke was telling erectus, was
01:11:07
listen to me. Listen to me, because he was, he
01:11:10
was still trying to attack bigger.
01:11:12
Yeah, yeah. Listen to me.
01:11:25
Listen to me, don't stop. And you get this this view of
01:11:31
Luke and Eric's they they Fly Above the Clouds.
01:11:36
You see the sun on the horizon? And it's a very beautiful shot.
01:11:40
He looking around, like we got away.
01:11:47
I knew what was going to happen. I've read that part of the book.
01:11:54
I knew what to expect. It still hit me like a gut
01:11:59
punch. When Veigar showed up out of
01:12:03
nowhere and just snapped loose Eros and Eric's in his Jaws.
01:12:10
when I say, I just sat there staring at my TV like, oh,
01:12:16
they're going full out with this.
01:12:17
Because in the book when they talk about the attack, they say
01:12:22
that parts of Eric's it Eric's. Show it washes up on the shore,
01:12:31
they never find Luke's body. So there's actually a portion in
01:12:35
the book where they're like, we don't even know if he's really
01:12:38
dead made. You know, the rumor is he
01:12:39
probably had Amnesia washed up on shore, somewhere, didn't know
01:12:43
who he was and he's still living his life.
01:12:46
But they decided to make it like so undeniable that Lucy's dead,
01:12:54
right? Because you didn't see a whole
01:12:57
body fall, he didn't. You saw pieces pieces of dragon,
01:13:03
you saw his cloak. I think part of his cloak.
01:13:06
That was it? Yeah.
01:13:08
The rest is in his stomach and the look for Amos face.
01:13:13
He was looking like Holy shit. I don't think he meant for that
01:13:20
to happen, and it's now correct me if I'm wrong.
01:13:28
That war is about to happen because you want to be an ass,
01:13:33
right? But correct me if I'm wrong
01:13:34
because you read that part because I've heard that he
01:13:37
purposely did it but Was that true in the books?
01:13:42
I don't know. How did they, how did they?
01:13:47
How was it written? Spoiler.
01:13:49
How was it read? If I'm not mistaken.
01:13:53
I don't think he did it on purpose.
01:13:58
Because even when he gets to, when he gets back home and he
01:14:03
tells them what's happened. I won't say he had remorse but
01:14:07
it wasn't like he went home bragging.
01:14:09
Like oh I did this. I did this.
01:14:11
It was just basically old so let me tell you what happened.
01:14:14
And Alison was the one who was like God's help us because she
01:14:19
was like, what the fuck did you do?
01:14:22
I was the one that was like, oh okay, we're about to celebrate
01:14:25
you. So I have to go back and look
01:14:29
but yeah, I don't think he did it on purpose.
01:14:33
I keep I keep thinking of the popular GIF of Bill Duke and me
01:14:40
and Society. You know, you didn't fuck that.
01:14:42
Right incredible because it literally was I mean my screen
01:14:53
name. See what happened?
01:14:54
Was that one. and people were like, um, so a thing happened,
01:15:03
it was just, you know, they talk about Kens layers, you know,
01:15:10
we've heard about kingslayer's, you know, in reference to like
01:15:13
Jaime Lannister but can Slayers people who slay their own kin.
01:15:20
Those are supposed to be some of the most revolting people like
01:15:24
nobody respects them. So that's the pin wheel of time.
01:15:32
It is a canvas layer and he didn't do it on purpose.
01:15:38
Yes. Okay, yeah.
01:15:44
They're pretty terrible people. So he just needs to go back to
01:15:50
the class of how do I train my dragon?
01:15:56
I don't think it would matter because the dragons I know how
01:15:59
hard this isn't predict. I'm joking because he is first
01:16:02
of all there is old so he's like I'm not gonna have this he's old
01:16:09
and he's like I'm not gonna disrespect me.
01:16:15
Sometimes have like big like feelings of their owners are
01:16:21
bonded with you so it's very Feeling of how a mother feels
01:16:28
about him and how he feels about, you know, having that
01:16:32
taken away and get disrespect. So yeah, flying through you can
01:16:36
feel that emotion to. So even though aim is mean I
01:16:40
have wanted him, it may have felt all the angst and and and
01:16:46
disdain that he had for Lord strong.
01:16:50
So do it acted on it and I guess for Rags, Susan's the fear, my
01:16:56
Lord strong. If for a Rex is it was like just
01:17:05
fearing for your life, right? Rex is wasn't trying to get
01:17:08
away. So yeah, this was definitely
01:17:12
scared but yeah, that's going to be a you're like dogs.
01:17:18
I don't think they know people. I don't think they know how big
01:17:21
they are the light. Like you know how dogs he goes
01:17:24
about dogs. They don't know how big they
01:17:26
are. This one.
01:17:26
A little dogs, always barking, big dogs, they build.
01:17:30
So arises didn't know how big it is.
01:17:33
So I think he was just like he was feeling whatever Luke was
01:17:43
feeling but also Anthony, I think you talked about this a
01:17:46
few episodes ago is like I feel like in a way it's kind of
01:17:51
arrogant to think that you as a person can control this Beast.
01:17:55
Yep. Like yeah, you can have some
01:17:57
control of them to an extent but this is a beast that is born in
01:18:04
the wild. This is like I mean basically
01:18:07
it's like it would be like us trying to control a dinosaur.
01:18:11
It's not going to be as much as what's his name.
01:18:19
And she still went and did her own thing when she needed to.
01:18:22
Yep. So you can probably up to the
01:18:24
end you can only control them for so long before they're like,
01:18:30
wait, why am I taking orders from you?
01:18:32
You are lunch. You know.
01:18:37
Huh. But yeah there's tragic human is
01:18:43
gonna feel the wrath of a lot of people.
01:18:47
Oh yeah, you know it. Yeah you know it and then the
01:18:51
way when you know after Luke's death you know you have this
01:18:55
this saying the final scene where, you know, they're in the
01:18:58
war room and people are around the table and ran nearest is
01:19:02
around the table, Damon is walking towards her and she
01:19:05
looks at him. He just kind of takes her body.
01:19:08
The arm and they walk slowly towards the fireplace.
01:19:11
He said something to her and then he backs off and she
01:19:16
standing there. She kind of Fosters a bit and
01:19:19
then she turns around and she has that look on her face.
01:19:22
Like y'all are fucking with the wrong people.
01:19:24
She had her Rick Grimes face on right in Sydney and she did for
01:19:29
death. That's why I'm narrow with the
01:19:33
peaceful. Okay.
01:19:34
They struck a couple times so now she died.
01:19:38
Kitty here. I'm just saying she's all the
01:19:42
rest of them. She said, if there is to be a
01:19:44
war, I will not make the first right now.
01:19:46
I hate that it had to be that personal because now you've lost
01:19:50
your father, you've lost your daughter and you lost the Sun so
01:19:56
I hate. Yep, no.
01:19:58
Okay, y'all want more? Yeah, now City by the Sea finna,
01:20:03
let Damon go to taking him off that leash, right?
01:20:08
And with Damon says, he's like we have 14 dragons to therefore
01:20:12
or something like that 3. Yeah, cuz they had they have
01:20:16
dragons on the island that are unclaimed the roost in
01:20:27
Dragonstone, but they're wild. Yeah, it's it had to research
01:20:32
the when he was singing to Damon was singing to in the cave.
01:20:37
And that was from Earth or which was jaehaerys is dragon.
01:20:45
So he's right. He hasn't had.
01:20:47
He hasn't let anyone try to ride it since you're here has died.
01:20:52
And it's I want to say It's is not quite as big as Veigar vague
01:20:59
door. Ya know, cuz I think right now I
01:21:03
think Veigar is the largest a big argument for and maybe my
01:21:12
family releases because that one's old to avenge cannibal.
01:21:20
I can't remember what his name is.
01:21:22
It's supposed to be pretty large to.
01:21:24
Yeah. Yeah.
01:21:25
Then I think they just call it the cannibal and I don't think
01:21:28
he has a name. Yeah.
01:21:30
The cannibal So it's going to be interesting.
01:21:37
So they gotta find, they had to find riders for all those
01:21:41
dragons, right? Which means we're going to have
01:21:44
to show up in the second season. Now, the other thing too is They
01:21:49
didn't introduce him in this season and I'm I'm thinking
01:21:52
they're going to bring him in in the next season but Allison and
01:21:57
viserys. Had another son.
01:22:00
His name is Darren I think there are and he is actually in Old
01:22:07
Town. Apprentice saying with Alison's
01:22:09
uncle. But he is also a dragon rider
01:22:14
and he has a huge huge part to play in the dance of dragons.
01:22:18
So I'm guessing they're going to bring him in next season because
01:22:22
I don't, I don't see how they can complete the story without
01:22:26
him, unless they assign what he does to another character, which
01:22:29
I don't think they would do. I don't think it would make
01:22:32
sense for them to do that. But yes, she's about to go down
01:22:38
me. You killed one of her boys.
01:22:42
Yeah, and then we still, we don't know what happened to
01:22:45
James, because we didn't see his part of his journey.
01:22:50
You know, I forgot who she sent him to Envoy.
01:22:52
Where was it? The air is, did she say him to
01:22:54
the Veil? I don't.
01:22:58
Being so happy. Did she send him to the north?
01:23:02
I don't remember. I can't remember.
01:23:06
But, you know, I'm sitting here now, I think, I think she did
01:23:13
say him to Aaron because I think because Aaron and Baratheon are
01:23:19
blood relatives of hers on her mother's side, you remember, she
01:23:23
automatically assume that they would honor their Oaths.
01:23:27
But she sent the boys to go kind of sweeten the pot.
01:23:31
Which, of course didn't happen because this is something else
01:23:35
that happened in the books that they didn't really go into in
01:23:38
the show. So, Lord Baratheon has four
01:23:41
daughters All of them. Unmarried, all of them.
01:23:45
I think I'm betrothed. So one of the things that Aegon
01:23:52
did or the Amon did when he came to treat, what Lord Baratheon
01:23:56
was they agreed to a marriage pact and so that was one of the
01:24:00
things he said to us are as he was like okay.
01:24:02
So your mother's reminded me of my oath.
01:24:06
So what's in it for me? He was like are you prepared to
01:24:09
marry one of my daughters? And Luke was like I'm sorry sir
01:24:12
I cannot I'm already betrothed but in the books he promises
01:24:19
tommen that her youngest one is Tom and to, right.
01:24:24
I can't remember what the youngest ones name is.
01:24:26
I don't remember. But he promised the younger
01:24:32
brother to one of the daughters. And I think the thing that
01:24:38
pissed aiming off was one of the daughters was kind of sort of
01:24:41
flirting with him and when Lou saris refused to fight him about
01:24:48
the, I she made a comment to Amon.
01:24:52
She said, did he snatch your balls to with your eye because
01:24:56
she was basically like, Do you want to let this little boy?
01:24:59
I tell you that. He's not gonna fight you and
01:25:00
you're not going. You're not going to pursue it.
01:25:02
Oh, you must be that's basically what she said in the book.
01:25:05
So, in the book, the rumor is that just that Luke's body
01:25:11
washed up along with the dragons and that a man went and found it
01:25:15
plus that both of his eyes and then brought it back to that
01:25:17
daughter as you know, basically like okay, you know what you
01:25:21
say, got no balls were, here's two eyes to it was just one of
01:25:25
those things where it was kind of like Oh you talked about, Add
01:25:27
about me. So this is what I did.
01:25:29
I was just like, either way he needs, he needs to let some of
01:25:34
his past. Oh yeah, he needs to let it go.
01:25:38
You say, you lost, I you gain to drag, okay?
01:25:40
You got the biggest dragon, right?
01:25:42
But you still you started, right?
01:25:50
Hey, you started it. I mean, I understand.
01:25:53
They made fun of you when you were little Can't make fun of
01:25:57
you now. He still he still sends it to
01:26:03
you and see what happens as you can.
01:26:07
Let It Go. Now, You're a murderer York in
01:26:10
Slayer. Right.
01:26:52
Yeah. The little puppies yeah Gary got
01:27:08
him more passionately of people already acting out the whole.
01:27:12
Yeah back not the whole thing is acting up the whole thing.
01:27:17
I was just kind of like, okay, let's see how they're going to
01:27:23
build up to this because I think they announced that they were
01:27:25
renewed for season 2 maybe a few weeks before this episode are.
01:27:31
So I was like, okay so we know they're probably going to leave
01:27:34
the large portion of the dance of dragons for season 2 rumor is
01:27:39
I think we discussed it before they're supposed to do five
01:27:41
seasons. But I'm not sure if that's the
01:27:44
case. But the question was always
01:27:49
where they going to end the season.
01:27:51
Like what's the stopping point to bring us into next season and
01:27:55
I felt like it was going to be Luke's death.
01:27:57
Especially like I said once they started focusing him on him in
01:28:01
the episode. I was like, oh, we're getting
01:28:05
Luke's death in this episode, I didn't know how much further
01:28:08
they were going to go, but I knew that was going to happen.
01:28:11
And when that was the last thing, it was Like, I mean, it
01:28:15
was a great, great ending, so it ended it was.
01:28:20
But so with him dying and then Right now.
01:28:25
Her turn. Yes, that was perfect.
01:28:30
Her feet and you lie. Oh, oh it's a whole bunch of
01:28:34
stuff about the happy now. How he fares?
01:29:08
I feel like he has to side with rhaenyra now because, you know,
01:29:16
if you don't, she coming after that ass.
01:29:19
Oh, yes. Because you were in his own
01:29:26
voice and that's why all of this stuff started.
01:29:29
Like the minute, a man showed up at storms in, he should have
01:29:34
been turned around. and she said, oh no, I'm honoring my
01:29:41
oath to Queen rhaenyra you can leave Well, no, he just showed
01:29:49
up with a BS Dragon. Well, this, so we basically did
01:30:11
and he's supposed to go to the Erie and then 20 fail, and come
01:30:17
back. it's just Yeah, I'm pissed off
01:30:51
the wrong person. Happy, we're going to be.
01:30:56
She is going to be that that, that textbook of see I tried to
01:31:00
place. I tried to play nice.
01:31:03
I don't want to play nice. So now I got to show you all my
01:31:06
ugly side. I think the greens downfall is
01:31:09
decision, making, I don't think they have quality decision
01:31:13
making on this side, right? So I have a feeling every
01:31:22
decision they make as far as we're goes is going to end badly
01:31:25
for them. So I think it's going to be
01:31:30
probably a prolonged War longer than it should have been
01:31:34
probably. Yeah probably.
01:31:36
But I mean Yes. Rainey's could have, she could
01:31:41
have ended all of that. By killing them.
01:31:45
All rhaenyra could also have ended it or Damon could have
01:31:50
ended it went out on high tower showed up at Dragonstone.
01:31:54
Sorry he would have shown up at my father is dead.
01:32:03
I just buried my baby that I lost because I was stressing
01:32:07
over the news of your treachery. Otto would have been Dragon
01:32:14
barbecue. All of them would have been, I
01:32:18
know, and I don't even think you noticed about the best.
01:32:22
You'd only about the best kingsguard dear cousin.
01:32:25
Eric was there. So beautiful.
01:32:28
I'll be there if you want to see.
01:32:42
We have 14 dragons who will be very pleased to Barbecue them.
01:32:48
And that would have been it right now or has she has a
01:32:53
tighter grip on her emotions and are her anger that I do because
01:33:00
they would all been toast. I wouldn't have even held aimed
01:33:04
at me like that. Go do what you want to do, just
01:33:07
yeah, yeah, yeah. Go do it.
01:33:10
I don't care. Just make sure you clean the
01:33:12
bodies from the castle before we go back.
01:33:14
Just. Yeah, because the counter
01:33:16
proposal should have been, you have one week to vacate the
01:33:20
premises right. Please take your children to Old
01:33:24
Town and we will leave you be otherwise.
01:33:30
Be prepared from Cindy's, barbecue and see, right?
01:33:35
Prepare to die. but, Fool. I mean, again, everything that
01:33:48
right near has had to go through in the series by itself with
01:33:53
just in these last two episodes, father daughter, son, Your
01:34:00
husband is on your side but pissed off at you.
01:34:03
Like he literally grabbed her by the throat and was choking her.
01:34:10
Because he was not letting on the secret.
01:34:14
Of a guy's dream. And I was like, dude that's that
01:34:20
should tell you right. That you are not fit to be king.
01:34:23
You got mad because you weren't told a secret And you just sit
01:34:28
here and threatened your wife, who is the queen?
01:34:30
She technically could have had him killed for that.
01:34:33
Yeah, but he was filled with emotions.
01:34:35
I think it was that, I think it was.
01:34:37
Now I'm having to listen to my wife, who's in charge, when I
01:34:42
want to be in charge, it was just, he was, he was picked up.
01:34:47
grieving his his and even though she by the pass out, I'm glad
01:34:54
she didn't back down. You didn't know.
01:34:59
All right, let me go. She was laughing about it.
01:35:07
Yeah, all right. And be like the look was like
01:35:16
are you done? Are you done?
01:35:20
Okay, thank you. Now, this is what we don't do.
01:35:30
so, we have Like who?
01:36:01
The greens have? Who didn't hear?
01:36:03
That shit. No, no no, no, no bad.
01:36:12
I went to war, none of the greens with because they thought
01:36:17
that they were fools, they were like, oh no, what?
01:36:19
Why do we care about stepstones? But what was it?
01:36:22
Corliss said, one of the, he said, the one upside of my
01:36:26
near-death is that I now control the stepstones control, all the
01:36:33
the stuff is coming in and out. So, guess what?
01:36:36
We can cut off the boats that are sending supplies.
01:36:39
Eyes to Westeros in the red. Keep So now you you bout to
01:36:46
you're about to be in a war you're going to have no supplies
01:36:50
and then re nice is like she's going to take her dragon and
01:36:55
she's going to go Patrol the gullet.
01:36:57
So now she's all in I was like, this is going to be interesting
01:37:04
because one you have a king, whose King and does not want to
01:37:07
be king. So how is he going to react to
01:37:10
all of this that's going on? You have Allison who even
01:37:16
though? Yes, I think she has her son's
01:37:20
interest at heart. And her children's interests at
01:37:24
heart. I don't think she wanted harm to
01:37:27
come to any of our nearest children because technically
01:37:30
speaking, they are all still related.
01:37:32
She wanted that but now she's going to be stuck in between
01:37:39
supporting her son. and trying to, I think she's going to be
01:37:45
the one to try to prevent more Bloodshed.
01:37:48
But she's also going to be resigned to know that it's going
01:37:51
to happen. There is no way, rhaenyra and
01:37:54
Damon are going to let something like what happened to Lu Sarah's
01:37:57
go unanswered. There's no way any chance for
01:38:03
peace is gone like absolutely. It's gone.
01:38:06
Because how do you how do you Like things would have been
01:38:11
fine. If y'all are just set your ass
01:38:13
down and let rhaenyra come and be Queen.
01:38:18
She probably and I will say this, she probably would have
01:38:20
killed Otto. I would have because I do is the
01:38:24
start of all of that descent between her and Allison.
01:38:30
He's the one who planned it. All of these ideas and Allison's
01:38:34
had always Rainier becomes Queen.
01:38:36
She's going to kill your children to make sure that no
01:38:39
There's no claim for her. He was the one who started all
01:38:42
of that. So yeah, if I was writing era
01:38:46
and I had become Queen, I would have been like.
01:38:48
Yeah. Okay, so you'll be safe, your
01:38:52
children will be safe but your daddy got to go.
01:38:55
Yep. You can't come back from from
01:39:00
being there. Like, you know, you can't you
01:39:03
can't come back from that and no matter what a man says, no one
01:39:07
is going to think that it was accident.
01:39:10
No one's going to think that you lost control of your dragon.
01:39:13
No One's Gonna think that everyone is gonna look at you
01:39:17
like you just like your mama? You can she kill the king and
01:39:22
you didn't kill. Lucas Eros.
01:39:25
Yeah right. Yeah right yeah right.
01:39:34
This is small. That's just like an his breath
01:39:52
on my foot. Why would I be bothered with
01:39:55
you? Well, that was cute.
01:40:02
Unfortunately, bad, he didn't that Luke didn't have enough
01:40:06
control, over prices can see kids got away because rice is
01:40:09
faster. Yeah, he got away and they were
01:40:12
down in the, you know, in between the rocks and everything
01:40:17
and they are was too big to fit. Yeah.
01:40:20
They could have just taken that route.
01:40:21
They could have turned around. I mean, it's raining.
01:40:24
It's storming is Wendy. You can't really see five feet
01:40:27
in front of you. He could have turned around and
01:40:30
went home. And aiming, when they would have
01:40:34
been none, the wiser, but no Eric had to go and blow his
01:40:39
little fire and sealed. His fate along with loose
01:40:44
heiresses, until your ex, didn't know how big it was.
01:40:48
He really didn't know any. The socializer dragon stick need
01:40:58
to be socialized. Bouncy, Big R.
01:41:05
Big R is probably too old to care.
01:41:08
He doesn't She doesn't know, see parts.
01:41:30
Like yeah, that's what do you fuck them?
01:41:37
But I will say. I wasn't sure what to expect
01:41:44
when they announce this series because we were all going
01:41:48
through PTSD from season 8 of Game of Thrones and I can't say
01:41:57
that there's been. I don't think that's been
01:42:02
anything that I really didn't like about it.
01:42:04
I mean, the constant time jumps have bothered me because I felt
01:42:09
like we should have seen a little bit more background but
01:42:13
again, if you think about it, they are telling a story based
01:42:18
on Fire and Blood and those stories in there are just it's
01:42:24
like eyewitness accounts or third person accounts.
01:42:28
So they filled in a lot of blanks and I like that but I
01:42:32
feel like there's some other things that I think they could
01:42:35
have done a little bit better as far as Damon's character.
01:42:39
Yes, I get it. He's supposed to be the cold.
01:42:41
Hearted he's supposed to be the strong one.
01:42:44
He's the one that's unpredictable, but there are
01:42:48
other aspects to his personality that they purposefully did not
01:42:51
show us in the season and I felt like They should have like show
01:42:59
us that there are, are more well-rounded targaryens like,
01:43:04
you have viserys, who was on one end of the spread Spectrum, you
01:43:08
have rhaenyra who was on that same end of the spectrum.
01:43:12
You have Damon on the other end of the spectrum, but it would
01:43:15
have been nice to see a little bit of a mixture and actually
01:43:21
any of those characters. But I really would have loved to
01:43:23
see it in Damon because we always see the typical Bad Boys.
01:43:29
I would have loved to have seen him be a little bit more.
01:43:35
I don't know, human I guess base based in reality a little bit.
01:43:43
Yeah, because I think that you want to hear, I think they want
01:43:46
him portrayed a certain way and and I don't, and I don't
01:43:51
necessarily think, okay, this is going to be related to it.
01:43:54
I was thinking already is that, I think I remember reading that
01:43:59
they weren't really sure if they're gonna get more than the
01:44:02
season. So, They were trying to put as
01:44:07
much in. They could in that didn't leave
01:44:10
a lot for character development because they just weren't sure.
01:44:14
And I also believe you know I think I talked about this before
01:44:17
the vhdl executives they want to see taking areas and they want
01:44:21
to see dragons all this specific Achilles so I can imagine him
01:44:25
sitting there going. Like I liked him better when he
01:44:29
was just like a Col du. Didn't have a heart.
01:44:33
You don't seem like they probably Bleah kind of steer
01:44:36
them towards cutting the scenes out because didn't fit with with
01:44:40
the HBO and ziggs wanted for that character.
01:44:43
You understand with the honestly, I'm saying, and it
01:44:45
kind of sucks that that's how we have to do it.
01:44:48
But look big, they spent $30 and episode bad.
01:44:51
They just never going to hear like, they just did, you know, I
01:44:57
don't know. We're going on / AIDS.
01:44:59
Yo, but you know, we're not going to talk about dings.
01:45:02
Good coming in at firing, hope. Other people and it's like, oh
01:45:07
yeah, everything is great, everything is good, Henry
01:45:10
Cavill, you're fired. Yeah, go do your fire.
01:45:13
We're just gonna, you know, we're just gonna start over.
01:45:16
Oh, rot. You, you might be able to hang
01:45:18
around with me. He doesn't want to piss the rock
01:45:20
also. So I don't know.
01:45:22
HBO is really weird in their front office, you know, if it
01:45:26
was a sports team which is a, is something's going on, I would
01:45:29
imagine it like it's a winning team but management keeps making
01:45:33
these weird. Decisions.
01:45:35
And one of them is make Damon less human and make him more
01:45:39
Targaryen, make him and it doesn't make any sense.
01:45:42
You know, we already have I don't know if they just didn't
01:45:45
want him to be very similar to the series, like you would make
01:45:49
him more sympathetic and I don't know.
01:45:53
It was confusing to me when I saw the deleted scenes or the
01:45:57
patron of the because you basically take away.
01:46:00
But then you get in those moments where he's upset about
01:46:03
his wife. If die and he's upset about his
01:46:07
brother dying. But you can't show him showing
01:46:10
compassion to his, like, his own dark night.
01:46:14
They have a hard time. We see almost No interaction
01:46:17
between him and his daughters in the show, a tall, man, with
01:46:21
swiftly. What, what she died.
01:46:24
Once lady Lena died, you see almost no interaction with him
01:46:28
and his daughters. Yeah, but you know, the
01:46:31
interaction but we've seen the pictures, the interaction
01:46:34
exists, we know it's there. They for some strange reason,
01:46:39
someone decided it was better not to show him be having
01:46:42
compassion. It could be with a base or with
01:46:46
a plan and To take his character to not have any compassion to
01:46:51
have him be able to do the things that he's going to have
01:46:54
to do later that. Don't your person like him would
01:46:57
do this, you know? But then he also, you know,
01:47:00
dropped Ramirez, pennies and about foot locked away so I
01:47:10
don't know. I really don't know.
01:47:12
I like the character and I'm like you some of the things the
01:47:15
baby they did. Like what it really changes how
01:47:19
we feel if we didn't know about the essenes, And I think it
01:47:24
still bothers that he didn't show because, you know, before
01:47:27
the essenes came out, people had used with him, not showing any,
01:47:32
you know, any consoling his daughters.
01:47:36
Yeah. That's why.
01:47:37
I think they heard that and they saw that and that's what they
01:47:40
lead out the Gleason sigh. Oh yeah, we actually did do this
01:47:45
so I'm sure Jerry. Was it?
01:47:47
There's a reason. Yeah.
01:47:49
But I don't think. But I don't think it was their
01:47:53
decision. That's something.
01:47:55
I don't think it was your decision to Kitty.
01:47:57
You know. I think there was someone else
01:47:59
higher than it was like nah. Y'all got to cut that out.
01:48:03
Yeah, I don't know. They're making weird decisions
01:48:06
of range. Yeah they are but from some of
01:48:09
the stuff they had done with his character, you can tell.
01:48:12
You can his compassion comes out a different way.
01:48:16
You can tell that he's very sensitive and he's very caring.
01:48:22
Ali of his family, he's a family person, he's completely family,
01:48:29
and he constantly is feeling for his family, he just comes out in
01:48:34
a, huh, because that's not bad. I'm going to him that was
01:48:39
someone who was forced upon him, you know, and right, and then
01:48:45
nasty to him. So, so, I feel like Even though
01:48:51
they're going this Direction with his character, they still.
01:48:54
I see it. I know it, I feel it.
01:48:57
I feel like he has so much more than I don't know.
01:49:06
So does that he just he just his emotions.
01:49:10
He doesn't know how to handle his emotions.
01:49:12
He doesn't know how to communicate like he was grieving
01:49:15
for his child, his brother in this episode he went and sang to
01:49:19
a dragon instead I'm being or he stood up on the cliff and looked
01:49:24
at the ocean. That's how he was able to
01:49:27
grieve. He don't really care for
01:49:30
children. So I mean, I think he likes them
01:49:33
but he didn't even talk to the other kids.
01:49:35
I mean, he will protect them when needed to be protected and
01:49:38
he will do anything. He will kill for them, die for
01:49:41
them. But you're not going to see him
01:49:44
saying, hey, you want me to tie your shoe.
01:49:45
You need me to braid your hair. I'm sorry.
01:49:48
Your mom has gone with the children.
01:49:53
They were always kids. Well, yeah.
01:49:59
But like, what, what what reaction?
01:50:01
I mean, what interaction? I mean, when they ran in and
01:50:03
say, you know, we got into this fight, did he say much to them?
01:50:08
Well, here's when Allison was going half cops and when she was
01:50:15
trying to attack right nearer when she does and he walks over,
01:50:22
like his own daughters are over there with their grandmother.
01:50:26
He comes on a Acting. And he puts his arm on one of
01:50:30
rhaenyra science. Same thing in the dinner scene
01:50:34
like when they start to have this little dust-up he interacts
01:50:39
with, I think it was Jase Jase. Oh he told take Advance the bed
01:50:46
he said take go home. Yeah but that's the thing
01:50:49
though. He was talking to them, they
01:50:51
were all trying to fight, Bela was over there ready to crack
01:50:54
some skulls because the guys Messing with her man, right.
01:50:59
But you don't have to protect them.
01:51:01
He don't protect them. First of all, they legitimate he
01:51:05
noted, but not know, tender interaction, the only tender
01:51:18
interaction where he actually interacted was with his own
01:51:20
child. When they sitting there
01:51:23
Fireside, reading a book, that's the only 10 ER interaction, all
01:51:28
the other interaction was either.
01:51:30
Okay, you bought, we bout to have some situation here.
01:51:32
You need to go here because you're about to get in the
01:51:34
fight, but like personal connection is only been this.
01:51:39
Child is the one who rides the dragon, correct?
01:51:43
No, it is the one thing. Yeah, yeah.
01:51:46
It is one so, but honestly, that's the only one where he
01:51:49
actually has like a bonding moment.
01:51:51
The other ones could have been like to have been a teacher, it
01:51:54
could be anybody telling them to go to bed.
01:51:57
Let me stand by you because you about to get her ass.
01:52:07
It was more of a Stern interaction or it was more of an
01:52:12
authority figure. Interaction is still a parental
01:52:16
interaction that he did that, we did not see with his own shit.
01:52:19
Yeah, so that we have seen it. We say that no the living from
01:52:26
that but you're talking about one scene in one episode.
01:52:30
Yeah. Moment where there.
01:52:31
Yeah. Also bulls with him and the
01:52:33
other ones. Even in this one when, you know,
01:52:36
Jay saris comes in and was like my mom said, don't do anything.
01:52:39
He was like, come on, you about see what loyalty is?
01:52:42
He takes Jace to that Cliffside to show him, okay?
01:52:46
This is how we ascertain, who was loyal.
01:52:48
It's not like he has those moments with Jace.
01:52:51
You see right now Era, interacting with the girls more
01:52:54
than you do. Damn it, which is weird.
01:52:56
Yeah, but could it also be sex too.
01:53:00
I mean, could it be that? Like he's gonna take care of the
01:53:05
boys because they know the girls are taken care of gender.
01:53:11
Yeah. It could be.
01:53:16
Could it be training trying to train?
01:53:20
Because we have like a training but I guess.
01:53:33
Masters. Right.
01:53:35
Let's not point to be targets, right?
01:53:38
And he feels that all of them are family.
01:53:40
Anyway, I just brought that up. That he doesn't have to be
01:53:42
worried about his girls. Can, can we find out why the
01:53:50
show only has two Golden Globe, nominations Okay.
01:53:54
So, how did Matt Smith night you not get enough?
01:54:04
He, I thought it was just silly. I thought about him.
01:54:12
Give me Darcy and the show. Got nominated, that's it.
01:54:18
Well, okay so I'm trying to think was that Golden Globes or
01:54:21
Critics Choice? Because I know he, I believe, he
01:54:24
got nominated for Critics Choice.
01:54:28
I thought he got nominated for Golden Globes.
01:54:32
But, you know, I would say this for a long time, award shows
01:54:39
like I've gotten to the point where I stopped watching award
01:54:43
shows because they really jarrah TV.
01:54:47
I feel like has some of the best acting performances.
01:54:55
And those big award shows, never pay attention to Fantasy show.
01:55:03
You think about Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead?
01:55:06
Some of the best acting period. Never been nominated Sam, he
01:55:12
learned from Outlander. Let's talk about seasons, one
01:55:16
and two specifically. Let's talk about the end of
01:55:18
legal one. Specifically never been
01:55:23
nominated. And I don't understand that.
01:55:27
I don't understand that you have these people who just because
01:55:30
they're in this particular genre or a fantasy or Science Fiction.
01:55:35
It's like you right off the performances.
01:55:39
And again some of the best performances you may see on TV
01:55:46
sad, no sad, no Angela Advanced. He got nominated for what kind
01:55:52
of forever. So yes I did see that big and
01:55:57
that was one of those performances that no one could
01:55:59
ignore the second. Yeah.
01:56:02
So let's say yes Golden Globe. It was only 42
01:56:20
in a drama series for Matt Smith.
01:56:23
Supporting actress for drama series, Miller Alcott Critics
01:56:27
Choice. They are nominated for a
01:56:30
People's Choice Award for favorite sci-fi fantasy show.
01:56:36
So yeah, this seemed what is this Critics?
01:56:41
Choice, television Award for best drama series for 2023.
01:56:45
So they did get a few. I felt like they should have got
01:56:49
more, but you should have Award shows when it comes to genre TV.
01:56:56
They don't show him any respect. They really don't.
01:56:58
So I don't pay my child. Watch the Saturn Awards when it
01:57:01
comes on because that's nothing but a genre TV.
01:57:06
No, so that's all. That's the only one I really pay
01:57:09
attention to nowadays, anyway. So whatever I'll be looking
01:57:15
forward to season two. I'm sure they're going to have
01:57:18
some some new characters pop up. It's gonna be interesting.
01:57:23
Now I want to see what liris does season 2.
01:57:27
That should be fine too. As long as it's not cheat.
01:57:33
It may go in the direction that I think they're gonna go based
01:57:36
on the story. Season two is, I feel like it's
01:57:42
going to be more heartbreaking than season one. just in terms
01:57:48
of the deaths, I know that may happen and certain things that
01:57:54
may happen to certain characters, just kind of like
01:57:58
you know, like we said, they just Unleash.
01:58:01
The Beast in Queen rhaenyra you kill her son.
01:58:05
There's going to be hell to pay, and it's going to be hell to pay
01:58:08
on both sides, because I think they are going to do this dance.
01:58:11
We're okay, the greens have struck first so you know, the
01:58:15
blacks are going to strike again and then the greens are going to
01:58:18
strike and retaliation I think is going to be that kind of
01:58:20
back-and-forth. Back-and-forth thing to the
01:58:23
point where I'm not done with the story yet, but I feel like
01:58:28
towards the end, we are probably not going to be rooting for
01:58:31
either side because I think just even just what was referenced in
01:58:38
Game of Thrones, I think atrocities will be committed on
01:58:41
both sides. And in the end there's really
01:58:46
not going to be A winner, you know you have a tip targaryens
01:58:51
we'll probably, I think they will hold on to their rule but
01:58:56
the targaryens on which side I mean, I know, I know what
01:59:01
happens to most of the greens and I know what happens to most
01:59:04
of the blacks. Rainier.
01:59:09
His fate was actually discussed in Game of Thrones, Joffrey
01:59:14
mentioned it talking to. I think he was telling Marjorie
01:59:17
about it. So you kind of know what happens
01:59:20
to certain characters, but it's just kind of like how much
01:59:25
damage are you going to do before this little dance is
01:59:30
done. I don't know, I mean, we still
01:59:34
end up with her years on the throne but like I said, from
01:59:37
which side, They're all targaryens well, you know, but
01:59:44
there's those symptoms these targaryens.
01:59:47
So I'm just saying, you know, but yeah, I'm looking forward to
01:59:56
the second season. I'm glad we don't have a
01:59:59
two-year wait, because what this ended, maybe a couple of months
02:00:04
ago, so it's not like we have a full two years, I know.
02:00:08
It'll debut in 2024 I don't know when in 2024, but We don't have
02:00:15
that much longer. We do know that there are other
02:00:17
shows in development. They are doing a Jon Snow
02:00:22
television show. There are rumors of I think five
02:00:26
other shows are for other shows that are in development.
02:00:29
I don't know where they stand with those, but we will be
02:00:33
getting more Game of Thrones content.
02:00:34
So that's a good one. Is that animated show When his
02:00:39
animated one is supposed to be, what is supposed to be a musical
02:00:43
bass, a stage play, nor stage musical, which is the answer.
02:00:51
I guess it depends on what story they're telling.
02:00:54
Wow, yeah. There's the sea snake show or
02:01:01
being not mirror and the 10 ships or something like that.
02:01:08
Another show. Okay?
02:01:10
Now, as far as if she first comes to Dorne, I wonder if the
02:01:15
the show about the sea snake are they going to show us what?
02:01:18
He's been up to these last six years?
02:01:21
No, he's supposed to be how he becomes a sea snake.
02:01:26
Okay, I mean he couldn't come for a visit wasn't.
02:01:30
Wow I mean damn that is besides room in like seen a family so he
02:01:37
deal with his grief. So why start a war?
02:01:40
Okay, all right, but here those those shows should be.
02:01:48
Should be interesting. I waited thinking egg show,
02:01:51
which I think that was the only one that's had them.
02:01:57
Okay, okay. So I am curious about that one.
02:02:02
I think during this little Hiatus, go ahead and get through
02:02:07
the book and then there's another book that's like a
02:02:12
history of I think it's a Targaryen history or some kind
02:02:17
of history book and I was like, okay, more more reading.
02:02:21
I'm going to have to do but I mean, I guess I'll do that
02:02:25
reading since I'm not reading the main books yet, because
02:02:30
we're still waiting on. What is it winter?
02:02:34
Hmm, so yeah, I'll just I'll read the side novels until then
02:02:39
because at least we know those shows.
02:02:41
We are getting And I'll just wait for my boo Jon Snow and his
02:02:47
show. And see what they're going to do
02:02:49
with that. I really would like to see a
02:02:51
show about Aria and what she's doing now that she is trying to
02:02:55
see what's west of Westeros that would be interesting but I don't
02:03:01
know. I'm just gonna I'm gonna be
02:03:04
patient and I'm also going to try not to get too excited over
02:03:08
anything because of the fact that they filmed at 35 million
02:03:12
dollar pilot that they never showed or that they canceled.
02:03:15
So I'm not going to get excited until then.
02:03:18
Until they tell us. This is the show.
02:03:21
Here's the trailer. This is the premier date, right?
02:03:25
Right. I think that's the safest bet.
02:03:31
Yeah, this is only bad. I think we got it all.
02:03:43
Yeah. To say about.
02:03:53
The black queen or any of the episodes in House of the Dragon.
02:04:01
No just can't wait for season 2. We're down that out with down to
02:04:06
16 dragons now. So and when this Targaryen you
02:04:14
know, and all that note that's going to be it for our show.
