House Of The Dragon 2x2 Uncut Reaction

Comments

Alicent don’t make me laugh, She is terribly written, the writers have no clue what to do with her but Daemon is the best and I agree with Aemond and Aegon.

JonSnow21

Nah no excuses for Daemon. They even asked him what to do if they don’t find Aemond. And he said a son for a son. So he definitely is responsible for a childs death. Cole is obviously awful. He just deflects everything. Alicent is by no means a saint. But I am suprised Pudgey goes after her that much. She seems the least problematic person so far.

Rey Jr

They, like me, watch it online on HBO Max, and Ive not been able to find those "extras" It might be buried on the streaming site somewhere, but its not made obvious where they keep it.

Miguel

not at all, he's cool, but he's predicatable and stupid. He has barely any depth or layers, the real characters with your depth and layers are Aegon, Aemond and Alicent. Them three are by far the best written characters.

Owen Hargrave

Reminds me of the roys in Succession

Guadalupe Rosas

Im not gonna lie the fact that the gReens are such a mess make them more interesting to me.

Guadalupe Rosas

Spartan with yet another absolute classic: "Ser Criston Snake" lol

Jimmy M

It comes on after the episode ends. They did it during Game of Thrones as well. It’s very cool

Sean Fitzpatrick

where can we watch this

CpaSpartan Pudgey

yeah we know! just that he thought he was talking to Rhaenera so unfortunately by saying it at the wrong time to the wrong person it was taken way out of context and caused this massive war!!! damn it!!!

CpaSpartan Pudgey

Spartan and Pudgey, if you don’t do this already I’d recommend watching the “inside the episode” after each episode. It explains things in further detail and allows the actors to explain their character’s motivations

Sean Fitzpatrick

Love your reactions as always! But Viserys didn’t tell Alicent that Aegon should be king. He was talking about the prophecy of ice and fire and Aegon the conqueror’s dream

Sean Fitzpatrick

As others have mentioned, Otto name dropped Alicents youngest son, Daeron Targaryen. They left him out of season 1, I'm assuming to avoid another actor they would have to recast in the time jumps.

Audra Muncy

I also lean towards the Greens because I find their characters more interesting and enjoyable to watch. Rhys as Otto this episode delivered a top notch performance, he reminded me of Tywin. I really enjoy Greens characters on the screen

Minerva Ravenclaw

As a team Green,I as well don't like Cole and Alicent at all, we do not claim them 🤣 I'm only there for Otto, Aegon and Aemond 👀💚

Minerva Ravenclaw

Same, I like Aegon as well. But Otto is my favorite 💚

Minerva Ravenclaw

Sorry not sorry but im still team green for Otto and Aemond alone

Jasper

That's the job of guards; you step in and subdue them. Are you seriously telling me people with swords can't be overpowered by a couple of armor-wearing guards approaching from all sides? And even if this is risky for their live, what does it matter? It is their job to guard and control that area. Its not 2024; the safety of those guards mean nothing, specifically not if the queen is in the same room. I understand that the Kings Guard stood back; his goal was to stay between his queen and the threat, but not after all the guards went in. My overall point is if you flesh out the surroundings and make all those people act logically or according to their role you create a more believable setting and by that an even more enjoyable experience. But this show does not care about that, it does not care about a good set up for what is happening so it also does not care about details when the thing is happening. Your last comment I can't follow what you mean by it; can you elaborate a bit more?

Joel Quinn

What do you mean by me being boring?

Joel Quinn

Because he is the most interesting character to many people cause he’s unpredictable and same goes for Aemond.

JonSnow21

The show is completely white washing Rhaenyra and making her completely innocent in every aspect and making Daemon seem so horrible but yea don’t understand how anyone can like Alicent anymore and while in this episode Otto was great, let’s not forget that it’s his fault and also It’s good for Aemond’s character to admit he regrets it what happened to luke and I don’t the actor is that skinny in real life though it’s kinda messed up to say he looked deformed bc he looked slim at that angle lol.

JonSnow21

Trying to halt or capture the brothers during that fight is not at all realistic and would result in more dead people. " I also liked that the one brother fall on his sword, I would assume that was the assassin, recognizing his fault by killing his brother, no idea, did not read up on it, but again, the execution of that was lackluster" You are seriously lacking in basic media literacy and don't seem to be paying that much attention to the show.

SuddenImpulse

Daemon is the best character in the show by far lol

JonSnow21

Watch the beginning of Alt Shift X video called "House of the Dragon S2E01 Explained." He explains the opening sequence.

Borge

you are so boring😭 pls just learn to enjoy things. it's a TV show

Dani

Daeron is the son of Alicent and Viserys. he was sent in Oldtown when he was 12, this is why we haven’t seen him yet.

mél ౨ৎ

I liked how the episode kept reinforcing who truly suffers in the game of thrones: the common people. The madam gently reminding Aemond what happens when princes "lose their tempers", the long-separated Adam & Alyn worrying about going to war, the Blacksmith Hugh having difficulty providing for his wife & sick child, innocent ratcatchers hanging (probably leaving their families without income), & saddest of all, brother vs. brother with Erryck & Arryk. 2 excellent Kingsguard dead now, accomplishing nothing. The total fucking hypocrisy of Alicent & Cole whining about Rhaenyra for 20 years while doing the SAME thing in the SAME rooms she did WTF. Aegon the Moron making Cole the Hand of the king is the dumbest thing ever. The Hand is meant to administrate the entire realm like a COO. It would be like turning our family's finances & budget over to our teenage son - who thinks of nothing but sports & girls LOL Next level acting in the scenes with Otto & Aegon and Rhaenyra & Daemon. Everyone on this show is great. LOL at Aemond drinking warm milk at the brothel, laying in a round womblike bed, being held like a baby. Mommy issues much?

Robin Lee Melendez

Ser Criston’s arc is the opposite of Jamie’s. Started off noble and honorable and slowly morphed into the worst character of the show.

Darrell Henry

Spartan and Pudgey do adore daemon

Seán

I don't know about team green having more sympathy, both teams have terrible people in it, and a few sympathetic ones, but Daemon is for sure the worst. He's almost like Ramsay level of brutal, yet somehow he gets a pass. Remember when he randomly beat up that messenger too? That moment, when he broke the glass with Rhaenyra and she got scared, was him almost being abusive towards her, something that already happened when he tried to strangle her by the way.

Lise

Yeah this back and forth between the two factions has been going on for three episodes now counting season 1 finale when Aemond killed Lucerys.

Lise

Daemon looks cool in his armor and on his dragon and yeah he's a badass in battle, but he's a piece of shit, look at that grin when everyone was talking about Jaehaerys's murder. We don't know exactly what he said to the two killers after his little smirk last episode, and it's a bit annoying that the writers are doing that, like the story is already ambiguous in the books so you would expect the show to make clear choices on what happened, but not for the first time, they pick the ambiguous or accidental route. Thankfully Rhaenyra can see Daemon for what he truly is now that she's an adult. Yeah Otto knew that Viserys never meant for Aegon to be King, when Alicent announced it to him last season, you could tell he thought it was bs. I'm in nobody's team. Even though Rhaenyra would be the better ruler, the situation is so messy I don't know if it's worth it, and had Aegon been better prepared who knows how he would have been. Honestly HOTD is kinda depressing to watch, it's very well made, amazing visuals and acting, but I can't say I have found much pleasure watching these two episodes. GOT was dark, but it had that energy and humor, those colorful character and a sense of adventure, but this is so bleak...

Lise

I am not yet extremely hooked on that show, but it is alright. I am not much of a fan of fast resolutions. Assassination of one son? Sure, let's do it right away. Strike back with the twin. Sure, let me resolve that right away. Also, how they depict it in the end with the twins walking through the castle was very cheaply done to convey confusion and how he could succeed. I have no problem with the plan; I think it's solid, but it can't be a surprise for anyone, and they made it so that everyone is an idiot, because that's the only reason it works. The ideas are all right, but lackluster in execution. Why the queen just did not walk out of her chamber during that fight was also stupid, specifically after her other guard arrived. Those scenes somehow appear weak or shallow for me. Why does the king's guard not command the soldiers to apprehend the two brothers, like the guard should, and take control of the situation? If you want to let them play out the fight, find a better setting for them to meet or have one of the others, like the queen, say something like, "no, let them settle it." Whatever, but give others the agency they should have, makes for a more believable setting. I also liked that the one brother fall on his sword, I would assume that was the assassin, recognizing his fault by killing his brother, no idea, did not read up on it, but again, the execution of that was lackluster - not a single gaze from him or anything to show his thinking and give it a bit more emotion or meaning. Good idea, lackluster execution, like pretty much everything in this show. A bit like fast food GoT, a quick serve of some mediocre resolution. I can live with that because I overall like that universe, and I'm happy if we get more in that setting, but it is not very good or captivating at all for me. Not one moment was so smart and so well executed that it swept me away.

Joel Quinn

I mean if they come with a name shield its not that difficult. ;)

Joel Quinn

Daemon is the worst. He and Criston Cole can both get in the bin.

Christopher

Of course. Perfectly fine and understandable.

Farbod

Absolutely not. I have read every book GRRM has ever written and love them very much. However, I personally still don't find Damon interesting or exciting as a character, and that should be okay too.

WhatPadiLoves

Because Daemon is charming and exciting. He’s also one of GRRM favorite characters and his favorite Targaryen. He wrong too?

Farbod

YEEESS Prince Daeron Targaryen is the youngest son of Alicent and Viserys he is about Jace's age and has been in Oldtown with the hightowers. He is also a dragon rider riding the dragon Tesserion!!!

Warsame Yassin

I love it. Spartan knows his Dragons. That smile when he saw Caraxes. Sooo good. Brilliant episode and reaction.

Farbod

Not necessarily spartan and pudgy, but if you read the comments under many reaction videos or the opinions about the first season, I have the feeling that Damon is very loved and liked as a character. That's fine, I just don't really understand it.

WhatPadiLoves

They adore Damon?

JSM -Tac

Alicent has another son, Daeron Targaryen. He's legit, but they just didnt include him in the first season. He's the younger brother of Aegon and Aemond.

Miguel

Same. I lean toward Team Green quite a bit. Their characters are far more interesting. I also agree about the Damon thing...I really dislike him and I'm usually all for the badass warrior types either good or bad but Aemond fills that role, but there is just nothing good about him in my opinion...he's almost not even fun to watch as a villain lol. Having said that, I am REALLY not a fan of the Team Green vs Team Black marketing mess. I just enjoy the story as a whole and seeing the lengths people will go to in order to claim the throne.

Ryan

I've never understood why so many viewers adore Damon so much... I'm neither team green nor team black, but I find the green side much more interesting and have far more "sympathy" for them. But that's what makes this series so exciting in the end, everyone has their own thoughts about it, and that's a good thing🤗
