Meleys is my favorite dragon and her rider was a fav of mine too. RIP Rhaenys and Meleys. Being a book reader I knew what was coming but still had tears in my eyes. Thanks for the vid :)

Hey there, another good episode. Rook's Rest was a sad battle for the blacks, different from the book as far as Aegon and Aemond where there together from the beginning. 2 vs 1 went as it did, what an end for The Queen Who Never Was she went out in glory even though Rhaenyra should have never fallen for Cole's trap. Thank you, and see you on the next one.
P.S. Remember the shepherd that Aegon wanted to help but Otto stopped him, I think he will be back in next season for the locked dragons in the Dragon Pit vs people of King's Landing.

i knew what was coming but the scene with Rhaenys was done so well i loved it while being heart broken

[jucereyes]

Aemond purposely burning aegon and the princess turning on blood lust had me stuck wide eyed

[WeareCustomerService]

Whoa buddy….. Was waiting on this Recap! This was an hell of an episode!!! Aemond was trying to take out the king as well!? What a plot twist they are doing here! I am not mad at the direction they are taking Aemonds and Aegons relationship. It’s giving Sibling rivalry at its best! 😂 the way Vhagar just clamped down Meleys and crushed….sheesh! Beautifully done!Overall excellent episode!! Really impressed!!!!

A little bit of revenge and is your brother attempting cold-blooded murder twice.

8/10 very good episode but I kinda like the one in the books better where Cole had a very much calculated plan to outmaneuver Rhaenys and overwhelm her in a 2v1. Not complaining, just didn't like the idea of Aemond intentionally killing Aegon and Sunfyre, being one of team green's few formidable fighting dragons. I'm also wondering how the dynamics would be moving forward between Aemond and Aegon.

And now my House of the Dragon ritual is complete. Bless you my Lord. May the Seven shine upon you

"...old people Rhaenyra clothes as a little Rhaenyra..." So...new Rhaenyra is older Rhaenyra? Also Milky Alcock is good in these scenes.

How does a Dragon that huge sneak up and pop out the cut like that? Aemond camping with Vhager is not respectable haha. Also I’m curious about what the Dragons feel fighting each other, they used to ride together in harmony. Rhaenys was killed by her daughter’s dragon.

[acuyra]

I would be quite surprised if Larys doesn’t know High Valyrian. Given how much the Targaryens like to speak when they don’t want others to listen, learning it would be a must for him.

Finally we get to see the Muppet Tullys, Let's freaking go!!

[aemondtargaryen]

Aemond Targaryen is my favorite character. Has been since season 1 episode 7.

[vanessalore]

I loved the scene between Alicent and Larys. That character is really getting great

[jedimasters]

Here's a really interesting What If...
What if Mysaria discovered Aemond's and Cole's plan for Rook's Rest and that King's Landing had no dragon guarding it? Rhaenyra could capture King's Landing and gain control of the scorpions that can harm Vhagar.

[denfarc]

Yeah. Meleys and Rhaenys' death was one of the saddest scenes. Vhagar's size is really an advantage. Its powerful bite always kills its enemy. About Aemond, he is planning to kill Aegon because of anger. He was bullied since childhood by him. Also, he believed he is better than Aegon and maybe he wants the throne?

[katrinagwyn]

It was a brilliant episode, how cute was Sunfyre's boop on Aegon?!

[hannahchadwick]

I knew what was coming in this episode from the book, but it still felt like such a gut punch when it actually happened. RIP to The Red Queen & The Queen Who Never Was. Another great episode of the show, which has been next level this season. And as always, I looked forward to and enjoyed your review of the episode. Love watching your content.

The part that I was confused about was when Daemon met with Samwell Blackwood. Right before hand he's talking to Alys and she tells him to drink the cup and all the sudden he's in the meeting. Was that whole meeting a hallucination or was he actually there?
