One note, George rr Martin (the author of the Got books) came out in an interview after HoTD aired and said Viseryes portrayal and character in the show was many times better than in the books (giving major credit to Paddy Considine) and said that it was so good that he plans on writing an entire story about his reign.

Aegon was Aemond's main bully though. Jace and Luke were super young. Aegon is the one who would put them up to it. If you look back on the episodes of them as kids. Aegon actually liked Jace and Luke more than Aemond.

I was sad Paddy Considine didn't win an Emmy for his performance tbh. Not that the award shows matter much. But he was so impressive and nuanced, Viserys is such a compelling mix of compassionate, humorous, frustrating, noble, and a bunch of other things all at the same time. Way more compelling a characterization than the source material actually lol. I've watched the throne scene and his dinner speech scene a million times

Michael H

That throne scene…

mixi

funny how daemon and rhaenyra where blaming alicent for viserys’ condition when they’ve been gone for 6 years and alicent’s been actually taking care of him 🫠🫠🫠

Alicent doesn't know about the "Song of Ice and Fire", but she does know (back in episode 3) that Viserys had a "dream" of having a son that would become king, and he admitted to her, in that episode while he was drunk, he had doubts about naming his daughter as heir. He of course made up his mind afterwards and reassured Rhynaera, but Alicent wasn't there for that part. Also, I'm sure she only heard what she wanted to hear as well.

“I feel like this guy’s ( Vaemond) gonna die” Mckay ep2 51:44 : he indeed died 💀

Misael Lopez

Why do I feel like jack and mckay haven’t realized who aemond and aegon are yet lol

In another universe, at the dinner table. Aemond: I’m a genius. Ask me a sum Lucerys: Nah, you’re OK Aemond: No, C’mon. Please. Lucerys: It’s not like I don’t believe you. I believe… Aemond: F**KING ASK ME A SUM THEN!!!!! Different characters, same actor, same level of creep.

Poragami

now you have to finish HotD this week, it's only fair for everyone that's anticipating GoT lmao

I can’t wrap my head around people who watched GOT rooting for team green. I sympathize with Alicent because she was just 14 when was “forced” to wed the king, but she’s not a child anymore and kept feeding hate to her children towards their own sister. Rhaenyra is the rightful heir by right of birth, order of the king and prophecy. * GOT SPOILERS * The prince that was promised was born through Rhaenyra bloodline and not Aegon’s, so just for that, team green supporters need to be checked because something ain’t adding up 😂 (if they watched GOT of course) Just like Viserys said in ep 2 or 3: “what is the power of a dragon compared to the power of prophecy?”

Something important to know is the Hightowers are the family that employs the Maesters and the order of the Seven (the 7 pointed star) So not only have they essentially taken over the throne they have seated people of power through corruption and greed. Their own religion is now preached to all of the kingdom and the castle has been redecorated in a custom fassion to their religion. Along with the fact that the Maesters are very important as they are doctors,scholars,historians, and knowledge keepers. The hightowers have basically usruped the throne by secret. They also keep Viserys under heavy doses of milk of the poppy in order to keep him alive and subtle, allowing them to rein without his own thoughts and wishes changing their plans. Anyone who is on team Green is very blind to the hypocrasy and greed that is going on in the book/show. The only thing Raenayra and team Black have done wrong is have bastard children. Other than that they legit havent done anything out of greed or unfairness. I seriously could never understand why there are team Green supporters out there. They are literally the villains of this story and are the reason so many wars and atrocities have been created.

HOTD is trying to tell an “unworthy man” and “worthy woman” plot so obvious you could see it from space. Could you imagine if the first scene with Rhaenyra (as a minor) was of her masturbating with clear nudity in frame. That’s how they introduced Aegon’s character in episode 6. Then in episode 8 when we are supposed to meet the grown-up version of him the writers poison the well by having him be a rapist of a girl clearly younger than him that DID NOT EXIST IN FIRE AND BLOOD. So why did the writers add these pointless rape plot? Either to act as an apology for all the rape and controversy GOT had, or it was for the explicit purpose of turning the audience completely against the Greens in a narrative moment where they should be at their highest. (Alicent, Aemond, and Aegon standing on business last episode, now they should be grown up and more involved characters, and now they are ruling in KL. And before the viewer can even make up their own mind about adult Aemond, they frame him as the worst scum on earth, even giving him makeup to appear uglier when the actor is extremely attractive. But the showrunners couldn’t keep Rhaenyra being fat (which is clearly canon in the books) after 6 pregnancies since that was obviously “maester misogyny”.

I was hoping we were getting a quad drop to celebrate me being quadzilla but it’s okay

Oh btw King Viserys has leprosy, it is not grey scale!

Chad-gon Targaryen

Anyone else think Dyana might have been a plant from Mysaria to make the Greens look bad? We never actually see anything happen between the two of them.

First watch I cried when Viserys walked to his throne. Fun fact, Viserys’ crown falling off and being picked up by Daemon, placing the crown back on his brother’s head was improvised.

Dani

If yall love house of the dragon I think you're gonna be obsessed with game of thrones.

Fedei

All I'm saying is that Alicent should've taken Rhaenyra's offer in marrying her daughter to Rhaenyra's son, the conflict wouldn't have been this bad.

Empyral

HxH bouta go off

Lexi Browning

It's amazing how good ASOIAF can be when it's really in its bag. The season that's coming out this year might bring back that golden GOT era when Conan Obrien couldn't even believe how amazing the show was

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

Such an incredible, unforgettable scene, and this show is not lacking in that regard at all. If you guys are curious as to what illness Vicerys had, I think it's assumed to be leprosy, though this isn't confirmed to my knowledge.

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

Ugh it amazes me that just watching a debilitated man walk across a room has so much emotion and weight behind it that it is, in my opinion, the best scene of the season, and one of the best scenes in GOT or HoTD... Chills every time and I've seen this scene about 10 times XD

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

I also think that Rhaenys watching Vicerys do what he did to defend Rhaenyra helped her confirm her decision to back Rhaenyra!

BipolarKitten

@👑Viserys True Heir👑 , how many times you change you username? You are "James" before this and then just "👑". And now you are "👑Viserys True Heir👑".

Tyler Sick

ALICENT: “You Targaryen’s do have queer customs” ALSO ALICENT: “I should marry my son to my daughter yeah that’s what I’ll do”

Ari_iya_kia

there are major spoilers for the ending of house of the dragon in one of the episodes for game of thrones. The spoiler in Season 3, ep 4 is at the 15:49 mark and ends at 16:06. This is right after Varys says: "Prodigies in odd places indeed" Another one to avoid: Season 5, episode 9. When Sir Davos goes to see Shireen. Mute or fast forward starting at 11:10 through 11:35.

Mei Nano

Aaaah I shouldn't watch HOTD whilst watching GOT at the same time, but I don't want to miss your reaction. After you are done with HOTD, i will re-watch it anyway. But yeah, every episode it's just give me goosebumps, what a masterpiece. I can see in your faces that you are really enjoying it😊 thanks for the reaction.

Anna

Now GRRM making twin knights named Arryk and Erryk…..as if it’s not hard enough to keep things straight lol

Savannah

I am so antsy for the next two episodes and Game of Thrones OMG

Jacob Goldsmith

people knew him as many names. but he was best known as viscerys the old king

Jacob Goldsmith

also he aged faster due to the weight of the crown

leah

"he can keep his tongue" is FUCKING CRAZY... that scene reminded me of the season finale of vinland season one

leah

alexis ♡︎

since this season is coming to an end, i was wondering if you guys have considered doing a season review like you did for aot? you guys have been having such good discussions and i think a lot of people would enjoy you guys discussing your favorite characters, scenes, and predictions etc!! i mean ik i would cus this is one of the shows i could talk about foreverrr 😩 i think it would be a good idea for got too 😁🙏🏾

Vaemon was wrong though and comitted treason. He proved Rhaenyra correct since Rhaenys solved his issue by agreeing to Rhaenyra's proposal. Jace and Luke marrying Baela and Rhaena ensures that Driftmark stays in the Velaryons bloodline and name. Vaemond was out for himself and his own brother chose Luke over him for a reason. Coryls built his houses fame and fortune, Vaemond was out for his own ambition. It's the grandkids who inherit not the brother.

Chad-gon Targaryen

Little Luke Strong the bastard must have pissed himself when he saw Aemond for the first time.

I fully understand why all of you really like King Viserys. The show makes him a very likable character. And he is epic in this episode. But in the end he did not like to deal with the tough aspects of ruling. You saw it in the very first scene with him. He did not want to address the issue of the pirates in the Stepstones, but he was all in favor of discussing the details of the upcoming tournament being held for the birth of his child. This was a great example of how he chose to rule. Yet he made a decision that caused all sorts of trouble by naming Rhaenyra as his heir. The only reason that he became king was because the majority of lords throughout the land chose him over his cousin. If the heir was decided regardless of their sex, it would have gone to Princess Rhaenys. It was really an unusual step for King Jaehaerys to essentially hold a vote to decide the next king. But because his two eldest sons had died and there were various ways to decide the succession, he chose to get the input of the lords of Westeros. And they clearly chose the male heir. So Viserys ignored the precedent that was set by making him king in order to install his daughter. He then proceeded to remarry and have sons, but still chose to leave Rhaenyra as his heir. You guys are right that so much of this had to do with Aemma. He felt such guilt over her death. And she was the love of his life. The actor even confirmed that this was how he played Viserys and his motivations. The creators of the show said that Viserys’ disease was supposed to be a form of leprosy. The actor said that because of his guilt over what happened to Aemma he never took trying to treat it too seriously because he thought it was his fate. And in that final moment when he said “my love,” he was supposed to be envisioning Aemma as he died. The confusion between Alicent and Viserys at his deathbed was not only because he thought he was talking to Rhaenyra. Remember back to the episode three with the hunt. A very drunk Viserys was talking to a very pregnant Alicent by the bonfire. And he was telling her about his dream of a son born to him that would wear the Conqueror’s crown and sit the Iron Throne. And at that moment he questioned whether his decision to make Rhaenyra his heir was the right choice. Well now Alicent is hearing him talk about a dream and using the name Aegon. To wrap up, one of the things I really enjoyed in this episode was seeing Jace and Helaena dancing. It felt like a moment of what could have been, if Alicent had just agreed to Rhaenyra’s suggestion that they wed those two back in episode six, right after Joffrey was born. They could have combined both factions of the Targaryen House that are currently competing with each other. Instead Alicent had her son Aegon marry Helaena even though Alicent accused Rhaenyra of the “Targaryen’s queer customs” when she thought something had happened between Rhaenyra and Daemon in episode four. To me this just demonstrates Alicent’s hypocrisy.

Hi Studio Gek. Since you guys mentioned how spoiler-y GOT would be for HOTD, let me just tell you that you can indeed watch the whole of Game of Thrones without a care at all. There are only a very few spoilers that you need to be careful about. I will mention the exact time stamps for episode where the spoilers are present. So please do make a note of it and avoid them. These are:- * The spoiler in Season 3, ep 4 is at the 15:49 mark and ends at 16:06. This is right after Varys says: "Prodigies in odd places indeed" (Fast forward or mute or you'll have a major spoiler for HotD character you’ve already met.) * Another one to avoid: Season 5, episode 9. When Sir Davos goes to see Shireen. Mute or fast forward starting at 11:10 through 11:35. The rest of their exchange is fine. AVOID AND SKIP THESE AND YOU ARE TOTALLY FINE TO GO AND PROCEED WITH GAME OF THRONES. (Let me know if you guys see my comment and have taken it into consideration and if you think you would watch GOT now or wait for HOTD season 2. Thanks.)

I decided to binge this watchthrough in a day and it’s been juicy. I hadnt seen house of the dragon before this, but I did watch the first six seasons of GOT back in the day before it soured on me. But ngl I am hella excited for the boys to start GoT now, it is gonna be WILD! Also Viserys is my GOAT, I kinda hated him in his first scene ep 1 because he seemed like he didnt care about ruling matters, but he totally won me over rather quickly. And his walk this ep was epic as heck
