Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Paul and this video we're breaking down House Of The Dragon.

Season 2 Episode 5 is now here and throughout this video we're gonna break it all down. This videos gonna be filled with what happens in the episode along with what also happens in the book. So come with me as we talk about the aftermath of Rooks Rest and what the characters are going through.

As always we'll save future spoilers until the end of the video and I'll give you a heads up before we get to that.

Now we begin at Driftmark and can hear the echos of Rhaenys theme in the score. Cutting to Corlys inside of the castle the character is shown from the back. Seeing character's like this is something that we get a lot of in this episode with it also being shown in Aemond and Alicent.

The first of these comes when he stands staring at the throne at the end with it mirroring the shot of corlys looking at his.

With Alicent we see as she approaches Aegon being worked on by Maesters and all these shots echo each other. They clearly highlight the gains losses that have come from the battle of Rooks rest with both Aegon and Rhaenys...

Sad that Helaena didn’t get really any screen time. I love how her one line implies that she knows exactly what Aemond did

[ShiftyMcgurk]

Man if I was Daemon I’d be pitching a tent outside right next to Caraxes and spending minimal time in that castle.

[PureMetalBanzai]

seeing Alicent Hightower pouting and freaking out when Aemond was named successor was so satisfying to watch.

[vonthecheeseman]

I don’t think aegon was laughing bc he didn’t take the battle seriously he was just happy to see his dragon the only thing that actually loves him

[christo]

Jesus the end credits are still playing

[stanjones]

When they brought the dragon head out everyone was like “you’re doing too much”

[formedblackhawk_]

Absolutely tired with daemonds Luigi’s mansion side quest

[awhartig]

Whatever Alys Rivers has been giving Daemon must be real potent b/c *_I_* couldn't tell if him being chewed out by the Riverlords was actually happening or was some hallucination.
ETA:I mean nobody has spoken to Alys other than Daemon...it's unnerving.

[brianbernstein]

Jayce: "Let's find riders for those two giant dragons we aren't using."
Me: You waited until NOW to think of this?!?!?!?

[nont]

The Greens parading Meleys’ head seems like a parallel to when the Freys paraded a beheaded Robb Stark’s corpse with Grey Wind’s head attached on him post-red wedding as well.

Both times, they intended to spite their enemies and show that they’re unbeatable while not realizing that the spectators had a totally opposite reactions from what they intended. For the greens, it’s the small folks, who no longer viewed the Targaryen and dragons with the aura of invincibility anymore. For the Freys, it’s Arya. They killed and disrespected her brother like that in front of her. She will never let this go and oh boy, how she never let that go was glorious.

[EyePropsStudios]

The rat catcher's dog got me weepy. Despite the kick, rat catcher really loved that dog. The dog stayed around his master till they moved him. Seen this in real life. Sad af.

[ephraimboateng]

I really like how they show the impact this war has on the small folk too. Like sure dragons battling each other is very cool, but seeing rotted food being sold at King's landing because of the the blockades really helps ground the show into realism IMO

[springfieldhockey]

notice how the towns people starving and dealing with rotting oranges all while Cole breaks out a shiny new lemon to clean his sword

[armoringregret]

You can’t buy a fresh orange at the street market, but CC has fresh lemons to clean his sword? Think about it!

[SuperUSAgent]

No dragons were harmed in the filming of this episode

[bftdsteve]

The scene with Fry's dog waiting for him still chokes me up every time I see it.

[theherstorychannel]

Aegon waking and saying "Mummy" killed me 😢 Tom does such a good job of making him human and likeable!

[scottboyd]

The Actress that played Raynera's Mother, and Viserys' Wife, I thought at first was who Damon was dreaming of, those damn wigs!!

[JS]

Helaena: Was it worth the price?
Aemond: Got to pay the cost to be the boss
