im actually greiving now, my favourite show is set to end in a few weeks and i want to actually sh00t myself . this show has changed my life and its one of my biggest hyperfixations. its the only show i care about and i even have one of their characters set as my wallpaper, i consume fan fiction and fan media every single day until nigjt and seeing it end makes me so sad and mad :( i dont know what to do. i need to accept it and go on but im so scared, this is the only show i like and i love everything about it. 98 percent of my figures are all from that show and i just imagine the characters and show in my head too in different scenarios, this show basically is absorbed into my heart and ive loved it since 2 years ago. no other anime is like this anime. i LOVE IT TOO MUCH!! im sorry for the vent, i needed to get this out of my chest. i know its dramatic but this is how i feel. i LOVE this show, its basically my other half. Im also like 13 too so like im hella dramatic x(

Neither Helaena nor Aegon can say Jaeherys’ name. It’s always “my boy”, “my heir”, or “my little son”.

If Neil had lived, it’s understandable how he got mixed up with that horrible Dr. House.

The Otto/Alicent to Alicent/Aegon scenes of seeking comfort from their parents broke me. The poison and generational trauma drips through and so many are quick to jump on Alicent's neck when her response, especially it being Aegon who she loves and resents and as a child having a child, you can tell that her inability to comfort strangles her. Reminiscent of S01 scene when Otto has to leave KL and is talking to Alicent, Rhys said something along the lines "he wants to comfort her and tell her he loves her and is scared for her but it's not in his vocabulary." The rejection Alicent receives from Otto after wanting to talk about the shame and pain she feels mirrors so beautifully into the inability of Alicent to comfort and support Aegon is so painful and excellently done, it's the tragic nature, twisted love and complete emotional detachment and understanding of makes watching the green faction so alluring and gives a great balance to everything transpiring on the Black side, where they are scrambling to find a foothold and get their rights while being a more "stable" unit(which is starting to unravel), I don't know, this episode was one of my favourite of the show, love me some character driven plotlines.

I think the fact that Aegon had such little interest in inheriting the Iron Throne means that Rhaenyra would have become Queen with zero issues. If the great lords reject a Queen, who cares? Send out the dragons and burn them into history. Rhaenyra would have totally given Alicent’s kids high spots in court too. So dumb

Not dure why they stole my remte here that tells me the enemy may be to close

8 ball mafia crews

I love when people do genuine ads, i didn't skip it at all and I don't need a sleeping mask lol P.S. Could you do a video on Katniss Everdeen? Or hunger games in general?

good job !!

I don't think their relationship with Cole is comparable, alicent had already been married to the king had his children stayed faithful. What she does now isn't going against any duty. Rhanyera was the heir to the throne and was to remain pure and untouched before her wedding which she didn't then she married a gay guy willingly, to basically blackmail him into calling her bastard children his. Alicent is million times more virtuous then Rhanyera. Oh and then she fake killed her husband so she could fuck her uncle against her father's wishes. Have we gotten all that?

Wait duz Maelor not exsist in hotd then??? Cuz at first i thort they just disided to cut him out of this spacific scene?

He really upsets me because he never practiced the words! My God why😢🥲

What a brilliant episode. It's insane the tram sport brains (greens this time) cannot appreciate how brilliant the generationalntrauka and inability to communicate emotions between alicent her kids was.

Dog on a dragon...? Hmmm?

I’m thank you. I have been wanting a deep dive on Seville. I felt like you apologized overly much for offending precious and delicate sensibilities, stopping just short of really pondering possibilities…you’d approach and back off. So much apologizing. If we are going to review the psychology of Seville it comes with discomfort…the qualifications vs a disclaimer and trigger warning…feels like an unfiltered truly in depth approach as to the layers you were not willing to peel back could be a great opportunity. Let’s go there so we can understand…less time coddling, more time excavating. I truly want to know more about the 5 days. The mom, the siblings. The father. The accusations. The BBC. Charles. Diana. How he caught their attention with the worst personality…so many so high up. There’s also so much great content here…thank you! I wish you’d do a part two…the things unsaid.

I agree that intimate scenes on TV have become something to endure. They used to be to demonstrate a closeness between two characters but they are so common now, that it has become a good time for me to check on whatever I have in the oven. Lol

I told my fiance that this series is a bit more boring in my opinion because they have less material to work with. The book is just an accounting of historical events. That gives them a lot of freedom but also less genius material that George RR Martin provided in asoiaf. I like the series but it's underwhelming. Perhaps it's leading up to something more incredible and these seeds will bloom. I hope so.

The conclusion to this episode was SO bloody brutal. I felt sick ay. Bravo to the showrunners but also god damn...

I think Otto and Alicent’s conversation toward the end of the episode was really interesting as well. Seeing Otto realising exactly what Aegon is and in many regards missing Viserys could almost make you feel like he’s realising his own hand in all this but then him and Alicent just conclude that they might still be able to manipulate Aegon, they can “fix this” implying they don’t understand that the damage they have done over decades of meddling and hate is far too much to be repaired in a short period if ever. I think Otto wants to believe that he is somehow smarter and better than those around him but it’s his arrogance, poor decisions and lack of self awareness that has gotten them into this mess and Aegon is now displaying the exact same problems, carrying on Otto’s legacy in a way that Otto definitely didn’t intend. They’re both blind to their own faults and recklessness.

Aegon's reaction to his son's death was very realistic for a father's grief. The lines "My son IS my legacy. My son IS heir to the iron throne". The way he is speaking in present tense like he can't accept that his son is dead. He also says he doesn't want to be seen as weak which also plays well with his "trying to be tough" exterior when towards the end of this episode he lets it all out and is vulnerable and fragile. He is deeply, deeply insecure and that affects a lot of who he is. He is not Joffrey. He is more like Cercei if anything. He is dumb but clearly loved and cared for his children. His poor decision making and ruling is also realistic for a person who was neglected and ignored his entire life. As opposed to Joffrey who was actually groomed and cared for. Aegon is one of my favourite character of this season.

12:00 totally. When he showed up, I could only think, who is he again?

It's fascinating how the audience can be manipulated so easily! To me, Otto was the best character in the show. He is decent man in Westeros standarts. He is smart, down-to-earth, not cruel person and lord. Daemon is a psycho - Otto pulled him further away from the throne. Rheanyra is stupid and spoiled (srsly, in reality she is supposed to be killed or moved away long ago! She is so incompitent as a queen! Read queen Elizabeth's biography or the russian empresses you'll see how failed as a character Rhaenyra is and her story). I'm sick of woke culture in the show! I am non-white woman but I know the history and I have a brain! Let's tolerate people who have some sense, please!

World Anvil Segway is becoming the new Rickroll

I think you nailed it! The following is going to be quite a long read I think, but to expand on your evaluation... My impression is that a great part of Tywin's disdain for Tyrion is because he sees more of himself in Tyrion than he would like, and that he sees that Tyrion is, in many ways, actually doing a better job at being the man that Tywin aspires to be than Tywin is himself. For that, Tywin shames and belittles Tyrion to keep others' opinions of him low, lest he come to be viewed in higher esteem than Tywin is. Tywin cannot tolerate the possibility that he may be perceived (and thus humiliated) as lesser in any way than the "spiteful creature" that he detests. I believe that he secretly admires Tyrion's intelligence and the ease with which he handles people; Tyrion has a finesse in negotiating where Tywin must threaten and intimidate. Tywin envies Tyrion; he's generally happy and free of heavy responsibilities, he's also got friends and even found love again, and worst of all, people seem to actually LIKE him, not fear him. Tywin doesn't even seem to be THAT bothered by Tyrion's "lecherous behaviour" until he learns that Tyrion actually has feelings for a woman, then Tywin must destroy for Tyrion that which he envies (Taesha) or do his best to take it from him and have it for himself (Shea). He reacted in the same way when he returned to King's Landing after the Battle of the Blackwater and took Tyrion's place as Hand of the King. (Yes, I know it was meant to be his in the first place, but...) He gave Tyrion no praise or recognition whatsoever for doing his duty to the family by filling in for him, nor any thanks for his saving King's Landing from siege by Stannis and even gave the Tyrells sole credit for doing so. He could not abide that Tyrion had proven, once again, to be a better at something than he was himself. One of the best lines in the show is spoken by Tyrion as advice to Jon Snow, who was feeling hurt when others called him a bastard: -- "Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armour, and it can never be used to hurt you." That alone demonstrates that Tyrion may, in fact, be the ONLY Lannister Lion that truly does not concern himself with the opinions of the sheep! Tywin, of course, cannot admit to such inner turmoil, and so it outwardly manifests as disgust and disdain toward Tyrion, which he justifies by blaming him for the death of his mother, and shaming him for his "drinking and whoring." He outwardly projects that the whoring is what disgusts him most, but I think that if, as you say, he likely had his own experience with such activities, that what actually disgusts him is his own reflection, again, in an otherwise honourable man he will not even call his son. Well that's my two coppers, at least... :) Thank you for these fantastic insights! :) Your whole "Psychology of" series is brilliant! It's been years now, and I still find myself drawn back to the show and the books, mostly because of the depth of so many of the characters. My frustrations with G.R.R.M.'s excruciatingly slow writing is much countered by his skill in creating these characters that are so well-developed that sometimes it's easy to forget that they are fictional. ♥ [EDIT: about 12 hours later... I wrote all of this before seeing that you'd also done a video on Tyrion, in which you did cover much of this. Oops!]

Please do arya next <3

I could have been I didn't catch that the first watch 😂🤣😂

I have spent years trying to phrase how I feel about the games we men play (strive to not, I swear there’s an instinct to do so that requires constant effort to resist) however you have a single sentence that sums it up beautifully. I am going to be using it in the future to explain my stance to my male friends.

Ngl I can’t stand aegon but seeing how Alicent chose to go screw Christon instead of comforting him while he cried over his son officially took my hate for that pair to a new level……

Aemond doing the westerosi equivalent of listening to mommy asmr was about the last thing I expected to see in this show but it’s actually really fucking good now that I have.

Re: The mis-remembered kiss from Sandor--TLDR = Sansa kissed Sandor. Sandor has pyrophobia. He's out by the Mud Gate fighting and fighting but when they set the Blackwater Bay on fire he totally freaks out, panics, and abandons his post. First he goes and gets stupid drunk; then he decides he's got to get out of King's Landing. Then he remembers Sansa and he goes to her because he has always been drawn to her. Sansa's character arc is that she starts as the Maiden but becomes the Mother. She starts out being young and naïve, and idealizes about romance and beauty. Then she is shocked by the ugliness and brutality she experiences. As she matures she starts to balance the ugliness and the beauty in her mind, and she realizes her role as dispelling the ugliness from other people's lives. She prays for the people of King's Landing before the battle. She encourages Tommen to be a better knight. She saves Ser Dontos. If life is a lie then she learns to tell the white lies that parents tell their children to smooth over rough spots; she tells the ladies in the Keep that Joffrey has bravely stood his ground when, actually, he slunk off when his mommy summoned him. All these powerful men come to her with their hurts and it is her job to make them feel better. So when Sandor comes to her demanding a song, Sansa realizes how hurt he is and sings him a hymn to sooth his pain, kisses him to make all better, and then sends him on his way. The mis-remembering is because Sansa cannot rectify in her mind how someone like Sandor needs a mommy--and would look to her. The imagery of her dream where Sandor repeatedly plunges his sword into her could be s.a. but could also be child birth.

It is a problem with a child omitted from the text that takes away context here...this is ment to be a mother choosing between her eldest and youngest child...that was heart wrenching to choose and than live with...either way it was terrible for this already fragile and unsupported woman is terrible

One note Robb is not the eldest that would be Jon he's 6 months older than Robb I believe

Hahaha seeds...no spoilers...book readers we know the seeds

Can you do one on ser jorah? <3

Seeing Malcolm Tucker show up in a HotD video was not what I expected. Now I want a comedy version of the show with him in Otto's role.

All the Greens are so emotionally stunted. None of them know how to process their emotions or provide emotional support to each other. It's an excellent example of how generational trauma propagates. It's all on Otto and, to a lesser degree, Visarys. Otto used his daughter as a pawn: used her for his own political gain and caused her trauma in the process so severe she couldn't properly emotionally bond with her children. Visarys treatment of her as an object for his own emotional and sexual gratification is part of that. Also, Visarys neglect of his sons (and daughter) by Alicent caused them to have no good parental model of emotional regulation. Visarys was able to be a somewhat decent father to Rheanerya. Why even marry Alicent and cause a succession crisis if you're going to ignore and neglect the children she provided?

I feel like Argon Vs. Otto scene is such a great demonstration of the generation war. Where young ones want to ACT and DISTUPT the status quo without a clear direction, while the old power wants to CONTROL and PLAN things to keep the status quo. If only Otto have better used of words & show more empathy, he might get through to Aegon. But Aegon too is consumed by rage and just want any form of retribution because he felt entitled to it. Such a great scene.

Do not worry, Hugh and Allan are very important going forward. There’s a reason they are receiving characterization and screen time. Also, apparently that scene that it ends on was supposed to be a very angry, almost violent, messy, messed up, long scene between Alicent and Criston, like they’re punishing each other. But Condal decided to cut it-against Olivia’s wishes, by the way. They were already so over for time, he argued it didn’t add anything new to the audience’s understanding of the dynamic, which was untrue in my opinion just based on what I’ve heard, and she was like confused how he could even think that, but she didn’t push the issue (probably because this is her first major role and she did ask why it had been cut, and stated her reasons as to why she felt it should be included, he just didn’t agree, and so she didn’t force the issue). But it def felt out of place to end on that, and it’s because we only got the first half of a scene and not the emotional guts, which was kind of a low point after Cargyllbowl.

I think her killing the night king gets a bad rap. Her revenge arc is all about people who hurt her family and took away what she knew. The night king threatened her family and everything about life that she knew ( all of Westeros), so killing him made sense as an action to help her family survive.

Dany is set up to burn Kings Landing, it's just going to happen very differently.. The Lannisters likely won't even be there.. It'll be Griff (Aegon) vs Danny. And neither of them will sit the throne.

I think ottos monologue about aegon 2 behavior is my favorite performance of the show so far. I feel is frustration being the only who has his head screwed on correctly.

THANK YOU. Everyone keeps having different opinions on Aemond's brothel scene, and this is the first one that makes sense to me. It's not supposed to be a sex scene - it's supposed to make you feel uncomfortable. I felt uncomfortable when she tried to make advances and he said no because you can see and hear the discomfort in his face and voice.

Warching Otto praise was so stupid. Viserys was too much of a coward and incompetent fool. His dumb choices are the reason why the succession crisis even happened.

Starting to like HOD over GOT, except of course the books ❤

Characters can be stupid. That’s the point of house of the dragon is just how unfathomably stupid the whole war is. It’s a war over nothing. Why do they want to be monarch? It’s f*^king stressful! They can live in unfathomable luxury for their entire lives if they just. got. along.

make a video about arya as a character please

So obsessed with Aegon and Otto after this episode. Their actors put so much into these scenes and you can just feel their frustration and grief. Especially knowing Otto in the end is what made Aegon who he is from his mistreatment of Alicent who in turn has no idea how to console her children and help them deal with tragedy, plus of course it’s not like he was there to guide young Aegon into royalty when Viserys didn’t.

RIP VALYRIAN LEGO (2023-2024). YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED.

Excellent commentary- and I appreciate that you keep your narration calm and modulated- makes it easy to listen.
