House of the Dragon S1 E5 and E6

Otto wasn't telling Alicent the truth, he was trying to get her to work towards his goal through instilling fear in her. She wouldn't have had to kill any of her kids if Otto and Alicent didn't pit her kids against her. Otto was a littlefinger style piece of shit throughout this whole show.

Larys Strong is a weasel of a character. Littlefinger + Varys = Larys. George RR Marin was a little on the nose with that one.

Dan Gonya

Those who were already adults before the time jump don’t really look that different however, the children or adolescents have to age to show the passing of time.

Moriah W

They tell you who everyone is at the beggining of the episode, he literally called him Sir Laenor and they called her princess, they made it pretty clear what was going on.

L Chi

He had honor and like John Snow gave it up for "love". Both of their honor was based on simple principle of don't sleep with anyone. But the minute that option was available they were like ok forget my honor or oaths. Then both immediately turned their backs on the women they loved so much to benefit saving their own selves. Shae knew what she was and what was excepted of that role. It's why she was sleeping with Tywin before Tyrion. She knew her options and made her choice. She tried to better her outcomes but chose wrong.

Criston out here getting crap from women. Because he acts like most women would. That's hilarious. Hes pathetic but let's not act like he is literally being emotional and hurt, ignoring consequences and actions due to it. Get a grip people.

Rockstar

That's one way... But it's 2023, men are supposed to be worthless husks so I get ya. Can't have emotions right? The dude is a major prick. But it's not coming from nowhere. It's weird. If that was a woman you would feels so bad for her. Remember Shae? Yeah, nobody wants to be a Shae, not even Shae. And Criston did have honor, and only one goal. He gave it up for love. What a foolish man. To actually have emotions. But I agree. He acted like a woman. Pathetic.

The low note is the Cello and the higher notes are the violin. Just sayin. I've never seen House of Dragon, so I'm watching it with ya for the first time with ya. Lets go.

History could have been altered on purpose to make the Lancasters more powerful after Jaime killed the Mad King

You have to be careful if you start watching GOT again. There is one episode in particular that spoils this whole show. Someone else can probably give the exact details. I just know it is a scene where Jeoffrey is giving a tour of the sept to Marjorie. It’s a major spoiler. And I agree. Watching the “next time on” is a bad idea. It gives too much away.

Cindy Beach

I saw it in Austin a few years ago. It was spectacular! Same with The Lord of the Rings concerts. It will blow your mind how awesome hearing the music live affects you.

Cindy Beach

YES!!!! Finally, someone says it! I agree with your assessment completely!

Charlotte Drolet

Just a " 10 years later" slowly fading in the corner would have been nice.

Hyperion

It's a bit more complicated than that in those times. (Medieval). A bastard doesn't stand at the same level/hierarchy than a true born. In fact, unless they become legitimate, they hold no Titles. The hairs is enough to prove that Laenor is not the father. You can't have 2 parents with white hairs and have a black hair kid. (Technically.) In the book it's a bit more complicated, because the kids have white hairs. I guess they wanted to make it more obvious in the serie by changing the color. But you're right about something, Alicent is definitively still salty about being lied to. :P

Hyperion

Did you all ever watch the Game of Thrones reunion special on HBO?

Carl 🐉

Man do not watch the previews…

SylMyl

There is a really good deleted scene yall should look up with Daemon and the girls after Lena's death

Irby

So I finally got to watch this episode and I see that you all were is just as confused as I was. No explanation whatsoever, they just jumped right into it. It’s like they skipped an entire season. I think they could’ve done a much better job with an intro to explain what was going on. The series lost a lot of viewer after this episode according to several articles online.

Carl 🐉

You guys are going to have to really pay attention especially to the side characters who don't speak much.

Eric Rushing

All I learned when I first watched this is Sir Cristin is whiny witch with a capital B. Hooks up once and like any crazy side piece is like let's runaway cause no one is going to know who you are or notice a big dragon out in the yard. Then like the drama queen that he is goes and runs his mouth throwing all the business out there and kills the one guy whose like girl I know your pain.

When the kids were being trained with the dragons in the beginning of episode 6, they explained that the dragons need to be trained at a young age or they'll never listen later when they are adults. The small dragon is a young dragon. Also for the Queen to get mad about the kids, look at what she was before she became Queen and look how she is acting now. Lastly the King can not admit anything to anyone because it will bring everything down.

Jesse McAdams

Regardless of who fathered Rhanerya's children, they are still HERS. They are still Targaryens, I dont see what the big deal is, there was no Maury back then, there is no way to prove that she is lying about who the father is. Alicent was just salty that Rhanerya lied to her years ago, she is the queen of holding a grudge.

Brandi Davis

"Oh, he aint gonna grow out of that!" had me rolling!

Brandi Davis

There is a theory that rhaenyras oldest is actually Cristin coles and that she never drank the moon tea. If u look at him amd the other 2 from harwin her oldest has straight dark hair like Cristin Cole and the other 2 have curly dark hair like harwin strong.

Convulsion Gaming

It is a form of leprosy that is caused by the cuts from the throne in the books it says that if the thrones cuts u u r cursed and aren't fit to b king. Viserys made a ton of terrible choices as ruler he wasn't cruel or a tyrant but he definitely wasn't a good king.

Convulsion Gaming

“Would you want your kid marrying some half breed” okay Asia what rather than marry your own kin and blood lol 😂

Greatest Ever

also confsed by this episode. first the new cast members and then who was against who. who got buurned by dragonfire at the end?

Rose Dallman

There are a lot of time jumps this season but it will get better.

Brandon Jarrett

The only characters who changed were the kids thats why all the adults look the same

Max

The dragon pit was also the place in Kings Landing where Dany, Tyrion met up with Cersei.

David Cansler

Great reaction! So much to take in on these two episodes…especially with the time jump (fair warning there is one more where all the kids get aged up so be on the lookout). It was pretty widely publicized when the series came out but I forgot about it until this rewatch. The dad of Rhyneara’s kids has the last name Strong - which you’ll need to remember, but you guys are doing great with all the names being thrown at you! From now on, I will never trust a wedding episode in seasons to come after this one and GOT lol.

Mary Merry Berry

Great reaction. These two episodes have so much going on that it makes your head spin. Also, I have the same opinion of Ser Criston as I do of Sam Tarly’s dad. They’re both dicks.

Melissa

What a great reaction. I knew they were gonna be wiped after this one so much happens. I really like the pace of the show it is different from GOT. I just hope you guys show a little mercy on them with all the names. Its ok if they get some things mixed up and dont know everyones name perfectly lets just enjoy the reaction and not put to much pressure on them. All the lore can be for us geeks lets just have fun with them. Great reaction guys THANK YOU SO MUCH. Cant wait for the next video yall.

Rio Mendoza

I wish the Game Of Thrones Live Concert Experience would tour again. They did a one night only encore at The Hollywood Bowl a couple months back, and let me tell you it was AMAZING! It was Ramin Djawadi (who’s the composer of both GOT and HOTD original music) and the Hollywood Studio Symphony Orchestra.

Patty Estrada

When Aemond goes down in the dragon pitt, the dragon you see spitting flames towards him is Dreamfyre. The 3 eggs that Daenarys gets in Game of Thrones comes from Dreamfyre, allegedly. So technically, this was Drogon, Rhaegal and Vyserion's mother. :P

Hyperion

OK, so this is where House of the Dragon lost me. After I got attached to the original cast, they switched cast members without any warning or explanation. I had to look it up as to why it happened. It just wasn’t the same after that but I’m willing to continue watching it with you guys. We will see how it goes… lol

Search "Game of Thrones Fender" or follow the link. This is a guitar cover of the theme song being played by some rock legends AND the two writiers of the music and show sitting on the ends. These are the guys you see in the episode "recaps" at the end. Fender Guitars built a few special edition custom Game of Thrones themed guitars and invited a random goup of guitar legends into the studio to record the song. It's a must see performace that should be done before you go any further. https://youtu.be/6i0a7RDPkM8

King Viserys has leprosy. I guess leprosy in this world isn't contagious

Josh

Bravos is in Essos. Bravos is a city in Essos. The 2 continents in this universe are Westros and Essos.

Josh

Kristin Kanan

The Lord that has the cane reminds me of Lord balish he's conniving and a 🐀 lol

Michelle C
