House of the Dragon Episode 3 REACTION!

Comments

Hey Reiner is the Armored titan, he is meant to have plot armor. :) Agree on all counts with you btw. Hot Take: Regarding the battle, I think there is a simple fix, cut it out completely. What I would have actually done is show daemon surrendering, then show the crab feeder dead on the shores in the next scene with an epic shot of daemon standing tall next to him. Have a bard "poeticize" the tale in a feast during the next episode. So you never know whether daemon actually did that or it's just a romanticized version of the account that happened. It's left to the viewers imagination as to how badass he might have been. I started getting Battle of the Bastards flashbacks when the battle started unfolding and if we are hitting this stride in episode 3 of the first season, we maybe in for a very bumpy ride. Edit: @Ange, I will subscribe to a higher tier if Daemon does succumb to those arrow wounds in the next few episodes.

Just want to add, I really like seeing Ange play the GoT theme on his guitar. Got some serious chops!

No doubt: A great fight scene and Daemon is a beast. 😂 But after all the great story building in advance, I really had no need for a fight scene tbh. And (as I said) I didn't get their plan, but this could easily be my bad😉

With Reiners plot armour 🤣🤣🤣 the battle was a bit far fetched but still quite epic. Daemon is usually being pretty epic 😆

Viserys still being a "nice" person but an awful king.😂 Love (and believe) that he still sees Rhaenyra as his heir. Rhaenyra was ruling this episode imo. Daemons battle was confusing for me tbh. So the plan was to get them out of their caves right? And the way to accomplish that was to put Daemon on a silver plate (with Reiners plot armor is seems😂) ? Because this would make them ALL come out of the caves and even completely neglect their guards so they could secretly bring in a whole army by ship? I get why Daemon would be in it for sure, but I don't buy the plan itself. 🤷‍♂️ But despite the battle it was a great episode. 👍

MasterOfPuppets

Agreed. The battle didn't fit in for me as well. 👍 And Arcane deserves every award it gets! ❤️

HOTD should take notes. There are different shows for different scenarios. We are watching this show for real stakes. I was loving the episode until the last battle and then it lost the plot. That battle ruined a perfect episode for me.

Amrith

That's fantastic news! Well deserved!

I think for a show like this, it might be a good idea to go back through for clarification prior to the discussion. As you said, we do like to give our initial impressions, however, going back through might add more to the discussions. Thanks for the feedback Bryonna!

Carlie & Ange

How do you feel about going back in the episodes to get clarification for your discussion segments? I know you like to keep it to first impressions but, there's so much said and going on that it's easy to forget or misinterpret. I absolutely adore your discussions, and don't mind clarifying. I know y'all have enough on your plate as is! Just a suggestion!

Hunting the white stag, the king of the kingswood, on Aegons name day would have symbolized Aegon as the next true heir to the throne in the eyes of the kingdom. The white stag went to Rhaenyra instead. If anything, this episode proved that Rhaenyra and Sir Criston are no longer "deer" friends, more likely "stag" friends. I too genuinely feel that Daemon and Rhaenyrs will get married and didn't the crab feeder have grayscale. Why is daemon dragging him around like a loose unit? Edit: Some useless info that I thought you might appreciate, completely unrelated: Arcane won best animated show at the emmy's yesterday.
