the intro represents the start of house Targaryen in old Valyria with the blood magic

Lyonel Strong studied to become a maester and earned 6 links on his chain before he decided he didn't want to be a maester any longer. You're the only reactor that I have watched that understands why Alicent is so upset. Viserys is George RR Martin's version of the Leper King (Baldwin IV) Harwin Strong isn't called Breakbones for nothing 💪

Notice how daemon never stands when Alicent enters the throne room lol

This first season of HOTD requires a rewatch for most ppl. You catch SO MUCH more a 2nd time through knowing where things lead. The 1st watch thru is pretty great though for those who don't revisit movies/shows

I honestly think Daemon thinks he’s doing the right thing. He told Viserys he wants to bring the house of the dragon back to its proper glory. I don’t think he maliciously wanted to fuck his brothers daughter out of spite, that’s out of character because he loves his brother. Even though he likes to fuck with him, he does it for attention and validation from his older brother. He genuinely thinks he and Rhaenyra will rule well.

Hugor Hill

I think Daemons motivations were less annoying Viserys, and more making sure no lord wanted to marry her, making him her only option in his eyes. Obviously partly for the throne, but also because he actually loves Rhaenyra

There are explanations on YouTube regarding the intro. I would wait until the season is over to watch them bc they’ll spoil future events you haven’t gotten to yet

Thanks. Love me some subtlety in shows, and nowadays I see so many complaints about not getting straight answers right away. Let it simmer, usually the payoff is much better when you get to arrange all the pieces of the puzzle yourself :D

All the reasons for Criston's crash out is there. People seem to complain a lot about clarity, do we really need more of it? His story also isn't over and we will see more of how he deals with his insecurities. My take is that he can't deal with breaking his oath, trying to restore it and getting rejected. Along with confessing, then dealing with the fact that he doesn't know what's gonna happen to him. When Joffery then "threatens" him, he simply can't handle it and lashes out. Projecting his lack of restraint, failure and fear into violence, which he in the next scene, can't live with. Or atleast unable to live with the consequences of his own actions. As to how the hell he got out of that situation/is still alive, I get is more of a loophole. But its not hard to imagine that Alicent as they clearly indicate, is the reason. Just a shame we didn't see it. All characters have different mannerism, actions, traits and morals. Sometimes we don't need explicit answers for everything as long as we have an idea of why a character does what they do. It makes the story more engaging and is one reason why the early seasons of GoT is so damn good

love larys telling alicent the flower in the courtyard isn’t a native and shouldn’t be thriving here….. shade to the targaryens for sure

Oh Larys Strong (Larys clubfoot) Is the son of Lord Strong, the hand of the king. The guy that picked up Rhaenyra and saved her when the fight broke out is important. He's Larys clubfoots brother, Ser Harwin Strong.

cc is an insecure bitter lil b 🙄🙄🙄 i think his crash out doesn’t make sense to us because you’d have to be just like him to relate lol

slipknot95maggot

One scene, and I think they made me hate him more than anybody in GoT. To be an insecure fuccboi, look, whatever mayne, but to pull that much rage and fury out over a casual "don't tell my secret and I won't tell yours" is - ... I might hate him more than Cersei and that's a taaaaall order breh. A lover trying desperately to pull you away from fury-m*rdering their partner, that makes you so mad you break like five different jaws, just to return to fully making a skull into ground meat. I literally hate you with every fiber of my being bro like don't go to sleep at night or keep one eye open

Bill B.

Yeah I never quite understood why Criston lost his ever loving mind, maybe in this universe you can’t have a wedding without someone being brutally murdered 😂😂😂😂

Imlegenbarry

I thought about that too but if he did that because of the threat, why go to kill yourself afterwards

Hugor Hill

I think CC crashed out because he took what Joffrey said as a threat, and Criston feels as if the white cloak is all he has to his name. Therefore Joffrey was kind of threatening his whole livelihood in his eyes.
