    Do you think Daemon tries to claim the throne as his own? Thanks again to our friends at Mini Katana for sponsoring this episode – Get 15% off your very own sword from Mini Katana by using our link: minikatana.com/NEWROCKSTARS
  • @FancastFanatic
    Loved the symbolism of Aegon destroying his father’s model of the city, literally wiping out what took him years to build in seconds bc of his vengeance
  • @jeffehren
    It was like watching a Shakespearean play with Otto.
  • @devoncaesar3389
    definitely thought it was Errik that won and just bowed out at the sight of his dead twin because of the "your grace" line
  • @believeume122
    I think Daemon means everything he says. He really doesnt lie. If you ask him a question he normally gives the answer that will hurt your feelings. I think it can be true that he's mad he didn't end up in the Throne and also he's fine with Rhaenyra being there. Overall Daemon loves his family and I don't think that will change. If Rhaenyra is like her dad she will welcome Daemon back whenever he's ready to come back.
  • @CC-ii1sy
    As a person who loves LEGOs and building models, I was horrified when Aegon destroyed his dad's Valyria model. DO YOU FUCKING KNOW HOW LONG YOUR OLD MAN SPENT MAKING IT?????
  • @cgrice1971
    According to a USA Today interview with the twin actors who played the characters, Erryk won the fight, not Arryk
  • @sisterseverus
    Otto would have been smarter to try to marry Rhaenyra to one of his sons. He would still get a grandchild on the throne at some point. Instead he's stuck with the disaster that is the Green children (except for Helena, she's perfect)
  • It was Erryk who killed Arryk, they stated they suffered the same wounds to confuse people. You missed the "im sorry your grace"
  • @AirDave15
    Aemond giving off Homelander vibes 😂
  • @robsooooz
    Book Spoilers Love Corlys and Rhaenys, but I wouldn't be so quick to say it's entirely monogamous, cough Alyn and Adam cough
  • @theERICKhot
    This is my favorite trio combination ❤️
  • I think people, in real life, and in the show. Need to evaluate daemons INTENTIONS, AND VALUES. he is unwaveringly loyal and protective of his family, even to the point where he believes he needs to protect them from themselves, (i.e. yelling viserys he was a weak king, and his council knew it) in my opinion, while this doesn't excuse his actions, it makes him much more relatable. And his actions understandable. I haven't read the book, and may just be trying to justify for him, but as of right now I don't think daemon is simply bloodthirsty. I just think he is doing what he feels is necessary to protect the ones he loves.
  • @ayezoop884
    Cole coulda been on Team Black if he had only agreed to be Rhaenyra’s “side dude” offer. Shiiiit I woulda taken it
  • @4evachristmas
    So happy I found this channel ,you guys are hilarious together .
  • @jillg9108
    Fun discussion. Ranira's (?) loss of Eric(?) as a trusted advisor was greater than Team Green's loss of Aaric(?) as a King's guard. The white dragon and Adam were making a connection which was why the dragon seemed to be flying closer. I think (never read the books) this will be a future rider/dragon pair.
