2023-09-13 08:04:43 +0000 UTCTargaryens can be burned. Laena (half Targaryen/half Velayron) of course is the most recent example. But Jon had his hand burned in season 1 of Game of Thrones and Dany’s brother Viserys also died by being burned. Dany is the only Fire proof Targaryen in the show continuity. Dany isn’t fire proof in the books, her surviving the fire during the birth of the dragons was a magical one time thing, but for the show they decided that for some reason to make it an ongoing trait for her. I just think it’s important for understanding HotD that yes, that Targaryens can be burned just like anyone else. They aren’t immune to fire.

2023-09-11 03:09:02 +0000 UTCthe rhaenrya cope is strong in the comments. She fucked up bad.
r.s.
2023-09-10 22:27:07 +0000 UTCwhat is the point of even saying this ? she is rhaenyra in the show when you talk about a character in a show/movie you use the pronoun of the character played , not the actor lmao. When they say ''she'' they are talking about rhaenyra which is a women.

2023-09-10 19:52:27 +0000 UTCshe had to have heirs somehow! and her and harwin loved each other

2023-09-10 19:22:05 +0000 UTCdon't underestimate viserys love for rhaenrya and aemma, even at the end of the episode he was kissing his ring, he made a promise and he's keeping it, even if it means he looks stupid to everyone else he's gonna protect rhaenrya and make sure she gets on the throne as he promised her

2023-09-10 12:39:58 +0000 UTCif u think this episode was crazy u're not ready for the next one 😭😭😭 my favourite EP of the season!!!
Mars
2023-09-10 12:38:20 +0000 UTCLmao next episode bout to be the most controversial one of the season 😂 I need you guys to not talk over and pause when you guys need to discuss something cause you’ll miss a lot. Especially in the second half of the episode
Tay
2023-09-10 12:27:09 +0000 UTCthe time jump did not cause that much confusion if yall listen and pay attention harwin and rhanerya has interacted a number of times through episodes 1-4 tht hinted at them kinda flirting with each other yall just talk so much and miss everything
Chris
2023-09-10 12:12:13 +0000 UTCMake sure you pay attention to Alicent daughter when she speaks she speaks prophecy… it’s mainly figuratively so you’ll have to find out what she meant when she says things
Marcus
2023-09-10 11:48:13 +0000 UTCbruh im saying! they would not be so confused if they didnt TALK OVER all the dialogue, like bruh i really like they reactions but please just pause if u have something to say because then yall start asking questions about something that was just answered that you didnt hear because your tryna come up with theories. Just let the show play, all your questions get answered if you LISTEN.
Chris
2023-09-10 11:46:12 +0000 UTCIndeed. They have a talent to miss important conversations, while discussing things
Marco Timmer
2023-09-10 11:20:39 +0000 UTCJust fyi. The actress that plays rhaenyra is nonbinary and goes by they them. Don’t want to see no one get cancelled around here lol
Phillip of house Harris
2023-09-10 11:11:10 +0000 UTCThe time jumps r irrelevant. The dialog givs everything needed if u LISTEN. Alicent points out the paternity issue whn she gav the baby bak to Laenor. Yall were talkn. Alicent suggested she needed Larys help b4 he recruited Blood & Cheese. Yall heard it but didn't comprehend it. While the back story is needed, Im glad yall r at the time jumps so yall can stop focusing so much on irrelevant stuff.

2023-09-10 10:02:24 +0000 UTCit’s not like rhaenyra could have known that her children were going to come out with brown hair, obviously after the first she though she could keep trying for one with silver hair but ser Harwins genes are dominant over hair color. and yes everyone knows that her kids aren’t velaryon because of their obvious hair color, but it’s still rhaenyra and laenors responsibility and duty to protect their claims as future heirs because they are still targaryen even though they’re “bastards”. Laenor is gay (although him and rhaenyra did try to procreate but failed), but rhaenyra is still responsible for producing heirs while married to him, so she was still going to have children with someone to solidify her claim to the iron throne.

2023-09-10 06:47:07 +0000 UTCBTW, the reason for all the time jumps is because this first season is really all the backstory/set up for the real story. You need all this backstory to understand the "main event" in history that the show is about. Don't want to say more in order to keep from spoiling anything, just know it has a purpose. Also, the story they adapted is written as historical text, just a collection of stories and rumors.

2023-09-10 06:24:56 +0000 UTCYeah I swear the fire proof thing was special to Daenerys?
Halima
2023-09-10 05:21:57 +0000 UTCJon Snow didn’t have white hair and he was most certainly a Targaryen. You don’t need the white hair to be a Targaryen, but you do need it if you’re supposed to be the son of a white-haired Targaryen AND a white-haired Velaryon. Also, not all Targaryens are fireproof.
Sivan
2023-09-10 05:19:07 +0000 UTCHaving no kids wasn’t a option if she wanted to stay heir. If she didn’t she would be deemed barren as a woman. Then Viserys since he is unconfrontational might’ve disinherited her as heir because she would have no heirs. Why risk losing her heirship?
Dani 💤
2023-09-10 05:09:04 +0000 UTCIdk how that man was allowed to be king so long, someone should’ve poisoned him from early 💀
Halima
2023-09-10 05:06:27 +0000 UTCBut Viserys unconfrontational self would never 😭
Dani 💤
2023-09-10 05:04:53 +0000 UTCBtw Larys killed his father Lyonel for Alicent, the fire wasn’t about Harwin. During their conversation she mentioned that she wished Otto was still hand because at least she’d have someone on her side. Larys took it upon himself to murder Lyonel so that Alicent could get what she wants even if she didn’t ask for it. Harwin was just collateral damage.
Halima
2023-09-10 05:04:17 +0000 UTCAlso if you guys could pause more when you have things to point out or discuss about the show that would be great 🥹
Dani 💤
2023-09-10 05:02:30 +0000 UTCPeople say Rhaenyra had no choice in having bastards since Laenor couldn’t perform but like…having no kids WAS an option. It sucks for her – obviously – but she’s the heir to the throne and like Viserys said, perception matters. 3 brown haired children is not a good look, especially when your claim is already shaky based on the fact that you’re a woman. Why weaken your position AND put yourself and your children in danger?
Halima
2023-09-10 05:02:00 +0000 UTCI like to think of Viserys’s role in the story is like the audience in the show 😭
Dani 💤
2023-09-10 05:00:11 +0000 UTCViserys got lucky NOTHING HAPPENED for like all his time and when it did other people solved it for him 😭
Dani 💤
2023-09-10 04:58:59 +0000 UTCI feel like people completely ignore the fact that considering Rhaenyra’s father is the King, and he LOVES her, she can just declare that her children are bastards fathered by Harwin Strong and Viserys can legitimise them as Strongs. Obviously it would confirm what everyone already knows, but passing off bastards as trueborn is quite illegal, and people can say what they want but Rhaenyra is the heir to the throne and people will not like her making a bastard her heir.
Halima
2023-09-10 04:57:52 +0000 UTCViserys started all of this though!!! He is obviously not a good king. He’s too unconfrontational and he’s ruled by his emotions. Things that are perfectly human and personal but is disgraceful to their patriarchal society. Viserys however likes the power of being king so he does nothing to shake the tide. Because he’s uncomfortable with conflict of ANY KIND. Only good decision he did was making rhaenyra heir as a way to break this society. Whether he’s actively involved or not. But since he is unconfrontational he did nothing to solidify her position.
Dani 💤
2023-09-10 04:57:48 +0000 UTCRhaenyra proposition to marry her son Jace to Alicent’s daughter Helaena is a good one but it doesn’t serve Alicent so she has no reason to accept it. Alicent is preparing for war, like she said to Aegon. At this point she knows that it’s inevitable after Viserys dies. If Helaena is Jace’s wife when war breaks out, that effectively makes her daughter a hostage for the people she’ll be fighting against. It was politically smart of Rhaenyra to offer the proposal, and it was politically smart for Alicent to decline.
Halima
2023-09-10 04:54:40 +0000 UTCImo nothing would’ve changed if Viserys had married Laena. Corlys was furious that his wife Rhaenys was passed over for Viserys and never got over it. Then he was insulted yet again when Viserys passed over his daughter Laena for Alicent. Imagine if Viserys had married Laena and then refused to make their son heir instead of Rhaenyra. Corlys would be enraged and insulted that his grandson was refused his right by law and would more than likely go to war over it.
Halima
2023-09-10 04:51:57 +0000 UTCI don’t understand why so many reactors just assume that Rhaenyra having children with Laenor was even an option. HE’S GAY. There’s a very good chance he wouldn’t be able to perform the necessary acts to produce children with a woman. Women can just lay there and “do their duty” as you seem to expect from Rhaenyra, but a man needs to be aroused to make anything come of it. Pun intended. Why is there no scorn for Laenor not doing his duty and getting her pregnant?
Sivan
2023-09-10 04:51:22 +0000 UTCIn the book it’s a history book basically written by biased people. There’s conflicting accounts and opinions that fuel them all by people not alive during the time and a few who were.
Dani 💤
2023-09-10 04:47:24 +0000 UTCAlicent is a woman stuck and used in the patriarchal system. She is a product of the patriarchy. She tries to emulate a good woman in their society but Viserys is a unconventional person in there society. He’s unconfrontational. Therefore alicent who is ruled by the society because she is a woman takes over her husband’s role as king. Now she has become the “king” in a sense. Since Viserys is unconfrontational. However alicent was forced into this as a woman she doesn’t want this. She is a victim of this society. Sadly she turned into what hurt her. A misogynist. But she’s still a woman so of course men around her will use them to her advantage. Her own internalized misogyny makes her thinks it’s okay. And she gets angry at all these men of course because she is a human but doesn’t express it for “duty”. Her society and power. Which causes her on a personal level to neglect her kids and abuse them like she once was. She was disinterested in helaena instead of listening to her daughter. Helaena has dragon dreams which is like seeing the future but in a prophetic ways pay attention to her words. Aegon is trying to be a normal boy but she berates him for not conforming to the society. He doesn’t want the throne. She yells at him for not wanting his supposed rights. Blantly ignoring her king’s command and her husband’s desire of having rhaenyra as heir.
Dani 💤
2023-09-10 04:46:32 +0000 UTCAs for the time jump think of the first season as a prologue into the main story. They skipped parts of the story to show the important moments in characters lives that leads to season 2. Which is the main story.
Dani 💤
2023-09-10 04:37:19 +0000 UTCIKR
Dani 💤
2023-09-10 04:31:17 +0000 UTCRhaenyra made a lot of bad decisions in their Patriotic worlds POV. She made human choices and is being brutally punished by alicent and others who agree with her for it. Rhaenyra isn’t the problem the world is. Fortunately she is the heir and she knows it. She did her duty by her father and married laenor. Made an agreement with laenor but laenor and her couldn’t have children because he is gay. Theres nothing wrong with that but that means they can’t have children. She had to turn to other means to have kids in general because if she did not. In her patriotic society she would be seen as infertile and unable to rule. She did what she had to do and I don’t begrudge her for it. Viserys who luckily for rhaenyra is unconfrontational and loves his daughter so much. So he lets it be. He is the king who’s word is law. No one says anything because they recognize the kings authority. Everyone except alicent and Otto and Cristion cole. Which is treason. Yet each judge rhaenyra for being able to change this world? And succeed. They are mad because it threatens the society they hold so dear. A wicked and terrible society.
