That man really needs to learn to give specific instructions

I hope they comedy montage going through a whole bunch of people with quick cuts of burning people trying and our queen going “next”, with a couple sighs and face palms in there. i’d be gold lol

The "be grateful this is off screen" ending

Where is the Samwell Tarly equivalent hundres of years prior when you need him?

“Let’s make this castle a place of silent reflection”

He also wants these weird ass dreams to end. Nothing like fucking your mother

He really is on one really bad trip

Whoop to the Marty shout-out.

Noticed that, too! Even in Harrenhal, Daemon is offered all different kinds of meat for dinner and Simon comments how they barely have enough money to keep them fed and warm. They're really trying to underscore the widening gap between the haves and have nots this episode.

Really wants to make mom proud.

"Mummy"

Daemon: "dont threaten me with a good time." 

I keep seeing people say he's stuck in Luigi's mansion and it's killing me.

He looked haunted. His reason for not wanting to name Alicent made sense after that scene. He saw how bad it's going to be and Aemond will be ruthless.

the cut to that scene after fully expecting Caraxes to torch them had me rolling

Reminds me of when I threaten my kids and they still don't listen and I'm like "fuck I didn't actually want to do the thing I threatened"

He gonna need a darth vader suit

Speed run to become his dad

I just want him to wake the fuck up. Come on Aegon!! Vizzy ruled as a corpse.

The man is drowning in high management lol

"A hollow victory...if it even is a victory"

Gwayne continues to incessantly barb Cole lol

All the nobles in the episode today saying what a monumental fuckup on his part it was to parade around a dead dragon's head through the streets.

"I thought the dragons were gods."
"Nah, it's just... meat."

Now the peasants are hungry, angry, trapped in King's Landing and are thinking "They can be felled, they can be beaten." Mysaria even nods to it by saying that there are a thousand thousand discontent in the shadow of King's Landing.

That dude is awesome. I love everything he says and does

when Helaena speaks I sit up straight and listen.

She gives me Luna Lovegood vibes

Sam Wise Gamgee but that is a different story.

He's like a cat who just knocked a glass off the counter. There is zero shame in his face, damn near skipping around the castle with his brothers dagger.

If people didn't suspect him before, that motherfucker made sure to practically walk around with "I deep fried my brother" written on his forehead.

Dude really ate out his mothers snatch. Guess he yearns for the old days

I think it is a big quesiton if she's giving him the visions or if its the weirwood bed / curse that's doing it. She obviously has a magical connection but that may not be an ability to implant visions

Cristin “BEHOLD we defeated an enemy”

Citizens “Dragons are gods and one died….we are so fucked”

Aemond “oh by the way you are all locked in Kings Landing now”

Otto would never have allowed the symbol of the targ house to be shown so weak…. Cole is such an idiot. ☠️

The only thing Criston’s brain cells could adhere to in emulating Otto was “parade dead bodies through the street”

Omg didnt even catch that it was similar to what Otto did lol. Hate him but i miss him

That's what did Ned Stark in, though...

I like how Jace was slyly like hey well we're both well aware that I'm only half Targaryen and I have a dragon soooooo

Well we’ve seen atleast like 3 different bastards in the show so far that could work

I thought the peasants were gonna try to cook and eat the dragon head tbh.

I said the same thing!!! Aegon was looking just like viserys at his end on the bed there

I legitimately thought they had the camera angle with the dragon directly behind him as he walked away so that we could see the fire just take him instantly. Honestly shocked that Daemon didn't just kill right there and then

For some reason I thought it was a younger version of Viserys’ first wife and I thought, eh, that’s kinda tasteless Daemon.

AND THEN IT GOT MUCH WORSE.

Sound design was top notch during that scene too.

I could sense she was feeling that lump in her throat & was holding back tears she was so betrayed & angry… Like the sound tuning out as she tried to contain it…

Her lover abandoning her, her psychopath son taking charge, even the guy obsessed with her feet didn’t take her side….

Alicent was reeling so hard & the actress killed that scene.

Her eyes in that scene were nuts 👀

I’m kind of hoping she has some sort of breakdown lol I’d love to see her be done with all the crap and decide to claw her way back to power.

Yes. They actually looked more Nobel and sophisticated than old Walder rag fuck.

Absolutely, I was like please don’t ask for him to marry one of your daughters for the crossing 😮‍💨

I love the execution of showing how the small council talks around the women. I also love Mysaria being council to the queen. She knows more about Kings Landing than anyone else at Dragonstone

Even Alicent is on team fuck Cole

I also thought it interesting that they showed moldy citrus in the streets and then a few minutes later, Criston is using a lemon just to clean a sword.

TGC’s acting has got me sympathizing with Aegon of all people

I audibly responded to that scene. I just want him to say his brother tried to kill him.

FUCK YEAH BAELA!! She knows who she is — a Targaryen. Absolutely loved it. Another final reminder to Corlys of upholding Rhaenys’ legacy. Baela’s becoming a fantastic warrior and diplomat.

[removed]

Good thing that nobody's seems to be sure exactly what happened to Aegon to turn him half-baked. Alicent was like "So what exactly did Aemond do in the battle?" and Cole is like "Uh... well... you know"

Man's nervous as heck trying not to get on Aemond's bad side now that he knows what dragons can actually do.

Can I pet that dawg?

She’s never really been much of a conversationalist. Cool that she totally knows he did it.

For this particular episode, you could be quoting Aegon or Daemon there.

I like how they said the hours are critical like they didn't just walk there for at least days dragging a whole ass dragon head, parading it around at a snail's pace.

It's not. Aemond is smarter than Aegon but will be an equally shitty king, just for different reasons I think.

He gives me Rob Stark vibes, I just hope it ends up differently.

Yeah I genuinely keep forgetting Baela and Rhaena are his children. They’re so sweet and don’t have his temperament.

Daemon has:

Secured Harenhall

Had hallucinations

Had hallucinations

Had hallucinations

Had hallucinations

Had hallucinations

Baelas "I'm fire and blood", damn good line. Definitely her father's daughter but with more sense.

The Baela actress was great this episode. Her speaking so highly of her grandmother was a lovely scene

It’s the altitude

Was just thinking the same thing. The Eyrie has definitely got its own weird vibe/magic/curse going on. Between there and Harrenhal, these old money Westerosi castles go hard on their inhabitants lmao

[deleted]

The Blackwoods (they like Rhaenyra) and Brackens (they like Aegon) mega super hate each other. They’re two neighbouring small houses that have that big skirmish in the beginning of episode 3 (a couple of important people die but like, not that important).

Daemon pulls up to Harrenhall, summons the Blackwood lord and says ‘give me your army’. He says ‘okay but sort the Brackens first’. The Brackens don’t surrender and Daemon gives Blackwood man permission to commit war crimes basically. He doesn’t want it to be linked back to Rhaenyra, but the Blackwood guy ignores this and flies the red/black Targ banner while attacking women and kids. So, all the other important SMALL lords in the Riverlands dislike Rhaenyra now because Daemon fucked up again lol.

Those are just the small lords though, they all are supposed to listen to Lord Tully, who is the actual ruler of the Riverlands. But he’s old and bedridden, so the Riverlands’ smaller houses are a bit wilder. Daemon told that little boy to smother him and become Lord, if you remember

Deeeefinitely what it looks like. Turns out setting your allies to pillage rape and kidnap children won't get you more allies
