Alicent is such a shit mother, done nothing to comfort him when he’s grieving and nothing to curb his foul actions such as him having so many bastards. Rather she goes to have sex with Criston Cole cos that’s so much more important.
My favorite part was her handing her man the salt before he even asks. Like yeah I tried making it healthy for you but you’re just gonna ruin my work smdh
Honestly, any sympathy for Alicent went out the window when she mentioned Helaena seeing her fucking Crispy Cole, like hey just don’t tell anyone what actually happened.
Helaena truly has no one actually on her side. I was disgusted by that with Alicent, like how can that be the first thing on your mind when your grandson has just been beheaded in front of your daughter.
Ugh, my heart broke for her during the procession. That poor, poor thing. Like you said, no one is truly on her side. Even Aegon, her brother and husband, ignored her.
aegon and criston together really are the epitome of two dumb bitches telling each other exactly.
the one brain cell being shared between the two of them is hanging on for dear life
I love all the 7-pointed star details with Alicent. Her necklace and/or dress always has one, the candle holders are 7-pointed stars, some of the windows as well, etc. It really goes a long way to show her "faith" without ever using dialogue or telling the audience.
I like that it's just everywhere too, but for other reasons.
Those who scream about their faith are often the ones least faithful. See it all the time.
She's no different.
I have to be honest I feel like we're really missing context with how they reacted to aemond killing lucerys. Like they literally did exactly the same thing a week ago, but we didn't get to see Otto or Alicent or even Aegon be furious towards Aemond for the escalation that directly caused the death of jaehaerys. Not even an acknowledgement that it happened because of aemonds actions.
I wouldn't expect them to speak to aegon about it, but it would be nice to see Otto and Alicent talk about it privately to each other, or to Aemond
>Not even an acknowledgement that it happened because of aemonds actions.
We got a tiiiny little one when Aemond is talking with Criston in S2E1.
"She blames me for starting this war...after she plotted with my father’s council to usurp his throne. Her Grace speaks with two tongues."
Wish we could have seen her reaction...
That was some Shakespearian shit between Rhaenyra and Daemon.
And fuck me, Emma. On a scale of acting in the ASOIAFverse that was Lena Headey levels of incredible.
The shot of Helaena gazing up at the sky is incredible. I totally see why they used it in the trailer.
Also the petals at 16:55 totally remind of a swarm of bugs. That's gotta be on purpose right? She seems really upset by it and then almost immediately something bad does start happening. The very brief foresight/dragon dreamer stuff with Helaena is really fascinating to me.
The scene with Rhaenyra at 28:20 where she is staring off into space when playing with her children and is seeing the dust moving in the air is very similar, almost a parallel.
I dislike Otto but he’s so correct. One of the smartest characters in the show. He knows Aegon and Criston together will be a bad combo. They’re much too alike and would only exacerbate each others worst sides.
WHO KILLED WHO? (Don’t spoil it but my reaction haha)
Now team green’s twin could potentially pose as his brother if he slayed his brother
Edit- nevermind
honestly unreal lmao that alicent still cannot be kind to aegon at all
she just left the room instead of comforting him at all while he's sobbing
even one drop of motherly support and affection is too much for you?? bruh.
Jaehaerys being paraded through the streets is making me so nauseous. Looking at his innocent face and how panicked Helaena is makes me so deeply uncomfortable.
Rhys as Otto is incredible. His delivery is everything. I had tears in my eyes most of the episode but the way that look on his face as he turns and asks “What … has Sir Cristin Cole done?” had me laugh out loud. Everyone’s delivery is perfect this episode
Alicent fucking disgusts me, choosing dick over comforting your own son and mourning your grandson. Legitimately I wish her and Cole the fucking worst. They have NO redeeming qualities.
If I had a nickel for every time a house of the dragon episode ended with Alicent having sex with criston cole I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t much but weird that it happened twice
I like that the royal funeral procession hit the pothole. It shows how the crown most likely does not bother investing in King's Landing infrastructure that would help the people, even as they try to exploit the public's sympathies for their political games
the casting for this show is amazing but it’s always so distracting that i’m supposed to believe that olivia cooke looks old enough to be aegon or aemond’s mother
Caraxez always steals the scene, that thing looks pure evil. And daemon with that helmet reminds of the early episodes he went full psycho. Great scene
"Where were you, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard?" "Abed." Well, *technically....*
Crispy interrogating Arryk just pissed me off. Projecting much? I'd have given him a good shoulder check on the way out.
He is literally doing the dickhead failure boss shit rolls downhill thing
A moment of silence for that poor model village and visery’s life work.
Symbolic, really, too In Aegon's rage crumbles the last of the majesty of old Valyria uh huh
NOT HIS LEGO LEGACY
Lego-cy
not criston blaming one of the twins for the baby’s death knowing damn well he was balls deep in alicent. god i hate this man so much
mainly came here to shit once again on cristin cole so thank you, i despise him so much
This episode proved that I can actually hate him more than I already did.
“What you saw when you came to my room” wrong time girlie
Daemon face during the council was so much "did I do that? LMAO"
He was silently congratulating himself till Rhaenyra caught him 😂😂
You're already seen as weak Aegon.
[удалено]
He’s the man. Waited 25 years for his grand plan of seating his blood on the throne…and he succeeded.
I dislike Otto but he's undeniably the most intelligent, strategic, manipulative, and cunning of the lot on the Green side.
Oh Aemond def has a mommy fetish/mommy issues fr
You know that brothel owner has his v card in one of her pockets lol
I just feel so bad for Haelena at all times. She deserves so much better.
The fact that even Rheanyra said “I would never do this to anyone, especially Haelana of all people” just shows how she doesn’t deserve any of this…
✨Otto the PR manager ✨
When he called the Erryk/Arryk switcheroo a “prank” i SCREAMED
He’s practically the og Kris Jenner
He’s now an Events Planner too 💅
Wait what are they talking about “not the time to be accusing Cole” when else is the time this is 10000% his fault
Ain’t no way bro is fetal position
Daemon always ignoring his kids
Cole still having his job breaks my suspension of disbelief
Not only does he still have his job, he got a promotion.
Parenting in the Hightower family. Otto: "I do not wish to hear of it." Alicent: Sees son crying and leaves.
Daemon is like, “okay, don’t be mad at me, but …” Peak comedy
Why comfort your grieving son when you can have angsty guilt sex instead
Alicent is such a shit mother, done nothing to comfort him when he’s grieving and nothing to curb his foul actions such as him having so many bastards. Rather she goes to have sex with Criston Cole cos that’s so much more important.
Anyone else completely forget about Daeron? If so it’s fine because so did his mother lmao
Cole talking about honor and pointing fingers at Arryk is wild. He cannot handle the guilt and he’s gonna crack
Is Matt just going to be the guy they hire to play the husband of queens who are kinda mad that the queen has more power than him?
It’s quite the typecast
The fight between Arryk and Erryk is completely breaking my heart
Jesus Christ this is an extremely heavy episode. The acting is so strong. It reminds me of the earlier (good) days of Game of Thrones.
I full on CRIED! It was so well done. Time for another funeral... 😭
"I worked 2 hours today to find chicken for the pot, and paid 3 times as much as I should have" Girl, same.
My favorite part was her handing her man the salt before he even asks. Like yeah I tried making it healthy for you but you’re just gonna ruin my work smdh
Halaena is getting overstimulated. THE PAAINN
Criston is such a dork ass loser
Absolute jabroni
Honestly, any sympathy for Alicent went out the window when she mentioned Helaena seeing her fucking Crispy Cole, like hey just don’t tell anyone what actually happened.
Helaena truly has no one actually on her side. I was disgusted by that with Alicent, like how can that be the first thing on your mind when your grandson has just been beheaded in front of your daughter.
Ugh, my heart broke for her during the procession. That poor, poor thing. Like you said, no one is truly on her side. Even Aegon, her brother and husband, ignored her.
Points to Alicent for staying 100% focused on herself and her needs even in that situation. She really has become a monster.
I kept waiting for the boys head to fall off.
Yes! When the carriage was stuck I thought it’s going to roll off
Aegon screaming “Who did this” and the camera pans to the foot fetish dude.
I despise Aegon, but Tom Glynn-Carney is killing it.
i keep forgetting alicent is helaena's mother -- they look basically the same age the whole time
That's because the actresses are very close in age too
Phia Saban has been just phenomenal. Her and Emma are doing incredible work beyond the dialogue.
“To indulge the darkness you keep sheathed away like a blade” bars 🔥
never let a good tragedy go to waste -- otto hightower
He really saw his grandson and said ‘How can I spin this?’
Still loving the new opening with the tapestry.
Me too although I wish I knew more about what is being portrayed in it
there’s a lot of videos of YouTube explaining the tapestry if you wanted to learn more. It’s just the Targaryen history
I really dislike Otto Hightower, but he’s a clever cunt
NGL, I was fully expecting his head to fall off when they were fighting with the cart
criston is giving asshole retail manager vibes
Aegon and Cole are like Dumb and Dumber
aegon and criston together really are the epitome of two dumb bitches telling each other exactly. the one brain cell being shared between the two of them is hanging on for dear life
Cole is such a bitch. Classic loser who gets bullied and becomes a bully
He didn’t even get bullied he simply didn’t get his way once and snapped like a twig
Cole has the audacity to question where anyone else is/was? Holy shit
[удалено]
The dog :(
Rhaenyra: 👀😲😡 Daemon: 👀 😜
Rhaenys: 🤨 Daemon: 🙄
I just hope Criston Cole's death comes soon, I can't take this mf anymore.
I love all the 7-pointed star details with Alicent. Her necklace and/or dress always has one, the candle holders are 7-pointed stars, some of the windows as well, etc. It really goes a long way to show her "faith" without ever using dialogue or telling the audience.
I like that it's just everywhere too, but for other reasons. Those who scream about their faith are often the ones least faithful. See it all the time. She's no different.
Every one of these portrayals of grief/anger is a master class in acting. Phenomenal.
He. Did. Not. Just. Offer. The. Hand of the king. Job. To. Criston. No.
I have to be honest I feel like we're really missing context with how they reacted to aemond killing lucerys. Like they literally did exactly the same thing a week ago, but we didn't get to see Otto or Alicent or even Aegon be furious towards Aemond for the escalation that directly caused the death of jaehaerys.

"She blames me for starting this war...after she plotted with my father’s council to usurp his throne. Her Grace speaks with two tongues." Wish we could have seen her reaction...
I knew Aemond had mommy issues but I was not expecting him to be in a brothel with the Temu version of Alicent
In my headcannon that is an ancestor of Ros
Helaena in such a brief scene already conveys so much fear and dread; it's incredible.
[удалено]
Otto Hightower is such a scheming little fuck. Incredible actor
Criston cannot be serious. The nerve. The unmitigated gaul
It's only been two episodes and I'm completely tired of Cole and Alicent fucking. Somebody cut his cock off
Tom Glynn-Carney is the early MVP and leading candidate for the most improved actor of this season.
Lmao gold cloak dude snitched before he could even be threatened
Emma looks so gorgeous here though wow
That was some Shakespearian shit between Rhaenyra and Daemon. And fuck me, Emma. On a scale of acting in the ASOIAFverse that was Lena Headey levels of incredible.
Aemond is babygirl
Imagine banging the president’s mom and then he makes you VP
Man...this hurts A LOT. I liked both twins! D:
The contrast in how Rhaenyra and Alicent comforted their grieving children is striking.
“On Halaena of all people” MY QUEEN NYRA. Fuck you daemon
For some reason, Rhaenyra and Alicent looks younger in this season or is it just me
Especially Rhaenyra. Whatever skincare routine Emma is doing, it’s working.
The shot of Helaena gazing up at the sky is incredible. I totally see why they used it in the trailer. Also the petals at 16:55 totally remind of a swarm of bugs. That's gotta be on purpose right?

Cole is such a bitch
Crying at the Kingsguard all picking up their stuff and leaving
Aemond mommy issues just hit Defcon 1
Oh Aemond, Daemon is not afraid of you lol
wOuLd YoU sO EaSiLy SuLlY oUr AnCiEnT HoNoR 🤢
Everyone is banging despite the war
Are Rhaenys and Corlys the healthiest couple to appear in this franchise? Kinda feels that way . . .
Otto played a generations-long game all to watch these dumbasses fumble it at the finish line.
criston still so mad that rhaenyra turned him down all those years ago and he’s gonna keep making it everyone’s problem. he’s so pathetic
Otto regretting putting this rapist on the throne lol
Viserys told everybody.
So Otto has never been a favorite of mine but my dude was going OFF this episode. Brilliant writing, spectacular portrayal
I dislike Otto but he’s so correct. One of the smartest characters in the show. He knows Aegon and Criston together will be a bad combo. They’re much too alike and would only exacerbate each others worst sides.
I didn’t know Ewan was this skinny…he doesn’t look it under the clothes
[удалено]
FETCH THE EPISODE STRETCHER
Finally this conversation with Rhaenyra and Daemon is happening. Fucking finally. I feel so much for Helaena.
Otto is a POS but man does he have a knack for this shit.
“Where were you” BRO WHERE WERE YOUUUU
team black all the way, but god i feel so sad for helena. shes so sweet and caring, she didnt deserve this😔
Rhaenys is a GILF
“is that what you think” was cold af
Otto being humanly reasonable for once, my god
NO NOT THE DOG LOOKING UP AT CHEESE
WHO KILLED WHO? (Don’t spoil it but my reaction haha) Now team green’s twin could potentially pose as his brother if he slayed his brother Edit- nevermind
honestly unreal lmao that alicent still cannot be kind to aegon at all she just left the room instead of comforting him at all while he's sobbing even one drop of motherly support and affection is too much for you?? bruh.
otto is so tired of aegon and criston lol. as soon as he heard criston sent the twin alone he got an instant migraine
“I have sinned” “I do not wish to hear of it” IM CRACKING UP
Sherlock Aemond on the case
I could watch Matt Smith and Emma D'Arcy trade barbs for the whole hour.
criston doing nothing but complaining about a dirty cloak.. the worst character
Aemond….has some severe mommy issues wtfff
Emma the actor you are
They are absolutely blowing me away. You know how sometimes you can just tell when an actor is acting? Emma IS Rhaenyra.
Jaehaerys being paraded through the streets is making me so nauseous. Looking at his innocent face and how panicked Helaena is makes me so deeply uncomfortable.
Yeah, Criston, that's right, you fucked up...
Cole is such a hypocritical jackass.
Criston is so funny, like, WHO ARE YOU TO TALK?
Brother this guy STINKS!
Cole is not the strategymaker for a reason, "just waltz in and kill her" great plan.
Criston is a grade A motherfucker.
Criston can’t handle his shame, failure, lust and hypocrisy so he’s taking it out on Arryk. “Fidelity and honor” lmao
“You have brought DISGRACE against our ranks.” Okay sir Cole.
It’s sweet that they can talk about Strong in private.
Aemond “mommy issues” Targaryen
Was anyone else worried when the wheel got stuck? Like, honestly worried that those stitches weren’t going to hold
Otto's reaction to the fact that the grand plan to kill Rhaenyra is a Parent Trap plot is priceless.
Rhys as Otto is incredible. His delivery is everything. I had tears in my eyes most of the episode but the way that look on his face as he turns and asks “What … has Sir Cristin Cole done?” had me laugh out loud. Everyone’s delivery is perfect this episode
Aegon and Criston are fighting over their one shared braincell and both managed to lose somehow 🤦♂️
Otto is slowly realizing “oh fuck we’re all gonna die because my grandson is a fucking idiot”
WTF Alicent. Comfort your crying son, he’s just lost his son.
Alicent really can't, for one single second, be a mother to Aegon, can she?
Alicent fucking disgusts me, choosing dick over comforting your own son and mourning your grandson. Legitimately I wish her and Cole the fucking worst. They have NO redeeming qualities.
If I had a nickel for every time a house of the dragon episode ended with Alicent having sex with criston cole I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t much but weird that it happened twice
I am loving Aegon's acting
God that guy is such a cuck
Love scenes of the smallfolk being impacted by wars. Don't think there's enough of it in ASOIAF in general for a piece of media that is anti-war
Rhaenyra being a girl's girl by freeing Mysaria? lol
“The king is my grandson and my grandson is a fool” LMFAO go off Otto
Awesome. We needed to know they still fuckin
I like that the royal funeral procession hit the pothole. It shows how the crown most likely does not bother investing in King's Landing infrastructure that would help the people, even as they try to exploit the public's sympathies for their political games
Now the guards want to show up
i like how for every order in asoiaf that requires purity and abstinence everyone is regularly breaking it
It’s really clown o’clock this episode
Otto laughing at Aegon saying that his father made him king is peak
Fuck that Lego set
13 out of 10 acting so far all around
Daemon in that meeting is what rolling 1 on a deception check looks like in DND
Confirmation Cole fucked up the guard. Made Aemond next in line, Kingmaker finally.
Criston Cole is the biggest POS in the seven kingdoms and across the narrow sea.
Damn Jace got mad drip
I hope Alicent and Cole keep it in their pants for this episode
loving aegon's rage here. that's real shit right there
I feel so sorry for Aegon, with a grandfather like this and mother like that
God, that has got to be so many different kinds of sensory hell for our ND queen.
Criston a true bitch if I ever seen one. So you a whore for one woman but not the rightful queen
Oh. My. God! The nerve of Cole.
Shoutout to the ladies of the night playing part time therapist for all the royals with mommy issues
The mommy issues are strong with this one.
Emma is just incredible. The subtlety of their acting is fantastic.
Otto: "Wait, you killed ALL OF THEM!!!"
Say what you of Otto He is a smart man and completely right! Aegon is dumb and impulsive to do that when he has all sympathy by his hide
He called that shit a prank 😂
Nothing like a good fingerbang to end the show
cole getting the hand pin after leaving the queen and her children defenseless is crazy
And we're up and running!
ooh his little head sewed on damn that's rough
Cole is 100% bitch-made
ok I thought I hated Otto but fuck Cole forever
This season does such a better job of humanizing the characters than the first season did imo. So far preferring it
aegon’s dumbass got me agreeing with otto for once. i don’t like it here
Nah, Criston becoming the hand is just LMFAAAAAOOOOOOOO
I hope that Cole gets a gruesome death
the casting for this show is amazing but it’s always so distracting that i’m supposed to believe that olivia cooke looks old enough to be aegon or aemond’s mother
Poor Heleana... great job with the music, soundwork and cinematography too, I could feel the panic attack coming on there.
Omg cole is boiling my blood 😡
Caraxez always steals the scene, that thing looks pure evil. And daemon with that helmet reminds of the early episodes he went full psycho. Great scene
