GoT: House of the Dragon S2 |Show Only OT| All Must Choose (NO BOOK COMPARISONS OR SPOILERS)
- Thread starter EzekelRAGE
- Start date
It's like Star Wars I guess, where a thousand years pass and people use the exact same things. lol
This is the nicest moment we'll ever get between Aegon and Alicent:
I think Sunfyre was the coolest looking dragon on any GoT show. Best personality too. He was a happy little boi seeing Aegon
The moment I saw Aemond notice Aegon and hold back Vhagar I audibly said "oh noooo.." with a giant smile on my face. 😃
I knew in that moment exactly how the next 5 minutes played out… but it didn't stop my heart from pounding in my chest the whole time…
Masterful storytelling. 10/10

it's a shame they put all that hyper depraved stuff about aegon in S1 (mostly talked about rather than seen) because in S2 he's been pretty close to sympathetic at times and the show needs characters you can sympathise with. the actor is just enjoyable to watch.
I don't think Vhagar needs plot armor, she's just too strong and big for the other dragons.
Anyway are we to assume that Aemond let Aegon lose on purpose? I was under the impression he only wanted to win the the war, not take the throne, guess I was wrong.
Aemond has a massive Aegon-shaped chip on his shoulder. His brother has done nothing but humiliate him from day one. Aemond's entire personality is built around proving he's superior to his brother, who he not only hates but doesn't respect either. Aemond has also hinted several times how he'd be a better choice for the throne than his brother
He took his sweet time coming out to help Aegon, intent was clear as day if you ask me, and that was before attempting to kill him twice...
Yeah he seemed to be fully on board the regicide train. At first it could have been as simple as not wanting to fuck it up and get in each other's way, or to not let the other side know that King's Landing was undefended, but once he got involved he looked to be more concerned with getting rid of Aegon than Rhaenys.
Hell if not for Cole showing up, Aemond almost certainly would have let Aegon get the fuck out of town when he made the offer in episode 9 last season and taken the crown right away.
She has two glaring weaknesses, her speed and her size. Her sneaking up on Rhaenys and Meleys was ridiculous.
Zelda is a crazy one too - BotW is supposed to be TEN THOUSAND years after the other games, lol... like, it should be a sci-fi game then
Ah, interesting. Seems like indoor plumbing or the printing press still should have happened by now, but 🤷♂️ Maybe Essos has way nicer stuff.
Many have answered, but this thread is a huge disappointment. How did nobody reply with....
My boyfriend felt the same way. He was like how can that slow big ass dragon walk away and hide after she did a whole 360 from the exact direction Vhagar snuck up from.
It's a masterful inversion and parallel to Viserys and Daemon's relationship. Rhanerya, Aemma and Viserys knew how much the Daemon loved Viserys and he Daemon but to the outside world they must have thought Daemon hated Viserys and wanted to do nothing more than kill him and take the throne...which is how Aegon and Aemond's relationship has devolved into.
They have got that Elevator at the wall in HOTD and 200 years later Joffrey still has to take the stairs in the tower of the hand!
Hopefully King Bran got some accessibility features installed when he rebuilt the red keep.
Fuck, fuck, fuck… so stupid to have two HotD threads on the front page.
Just got the whole thing spoiled.

Don't worry. He will be fine
Kingsguard re-named the Knights of Aeg
Damn. That sucks.
Advice for anyone else worrired about this. You can hide threads you don't want to see. So set the Book thread to ignore
That comment doesn't confirm anything either way and leaves it just as uncertain as it was before you read it.
Amazing ep. Man the VFX aren't perfect but they're still mind blowing for a TV show, better than a lot of blockbuster films.
This episode must have cost a fortune.
I'm annoyed because I saw some online spoilers… the episodes are shown on Monday nights at 9pm here in the UK (well, you can watch live at 2am Monday morning or on demand all day but that's the official episode time here and I have to wait for my gf to get home to watch it)… so it's frustrating that news outlets post stories about the episodes with spoilers in the headlines immediately after it's shown in the US, only way to avoid spoilers would be to stay off the internet entirely all day which I'm not going to do.

Totally thought the person daemon was following in his dream was viserys. Didn't really understand it being daemon with an eye patch, not sure if that was him realizing him and aemond are the same and aemond is his real enemy? Would have preferred a scene with viserys telling daemon why he couldn't name him heir.
He was literally wearing Aegon the Conqueror's armor which is valerian steel.
Will be the dragon version of everyone vs kid Aemond in the dragon pit when he lost his eye.
Just watched the episode and holy shit. My heart was racing so fast I had to check my watch. 140 bpm of anxiety watching this epic drama unfold. This stupid ass family fighting itself really just makes me feel so bad for the dragons. Seeing the kid get chomped last season was horrific. Seeing sunfyre get mangled up was bad, and then seeing meleys… god damn. That is some depressing shit.
Fucking Vhagar's stealth bullshit is absolutely ridiculous though. I knew as soon as she was flying over a wall she was about to be done easy. Honest to Christ though, Vhagar is Godzilla with wings, and I'm supposed to believe you don't hear that monster coming? The wind probably whistles through all the holes in those raggedy ass wings.
Also, I was saying the whole damn episode once Rhaenys volunteered, you don't send one fucking dragon. Especially when you know your enemy has godzilla that has already tasted blood. You need redundancy. Hit everything as hard as possible and then there's nothing you hit you back, don't go shot for shot. Aegon the Conqueror didn't fly over and take shit over with one damn dragon, don't be a damn fool.

i'm pretty sure they like fighting each other and fighting in general. they're predators.
although i'm not clear if they're all directly related or if there are different dragon lines.
Just one was able to ground Vhagar. Having one more Black dragon rider in that battle would likely have resulted in the death of Aemond. They don't have to kill Vhagar, just make her riderless.
Prince Arnold Targaryen, and his mentor Maester Frizzle in a tiny school bus.
I know the story is Rhaenyra is hesitant to send her loved ones out and yes they're up against the big gurl but I feel like if Blacks organised together better they could easily win.
If it was just the 'children' riders vs'ing each other fair enough but we just saw what 1 experienced/battle tested warrior can do while getting duo'ed... imagine if they were the ones using their number advantage.
I feel like I'm the angry men on the council "COME OOON USE OUR DRAGONZEZZ!" lol.
Guess it doesn't really matter, at this point Vhagar is gonna be hiding under Rhaenyra's bed and catch her off guard...

I dont remember if this was a part of the earlier scenes in Season 1 (when they were all kids) but is it explained why Aemond has the biggest dragon by what seems to be a country mile? For some reason I assumed the dragons' size was an indication of their age but obviously that went out the window when Meleys was shown to be so much smaller.
Vhagar is the oldest and biggest living dragon. Aemond's egg didn't hatch and he claimed her after Laena, her previous rider, died due to complications in child birth (technically...). In other words, some of the dragonriders have dragons that hatched for them which are thus their age / smaller, while some claimed older dragons that are riderless.
