you guys being nervous made me even more nervous i bit my fucking nails off what an end to season 1
Cookie
HOLY FUCK MAN
zena
do you not know that aegon has more bastards that rhaenyra
Amna 🍉
This is such a out of pocket islamophobic comment, idk why they haven't deleted it yet. Don't agree with his point at all but many people have used this argument and I doubt you would say the same thing to them.
Venus
i expect this type of misogyny from someone with the hideous name of Muhammed. it never fails
Muhammad Affan
Rhaenyra is a whore. She was bold to do antics like fucking Criston Cole but couldnt say no to her father when she knew Laenor was gay. Load of bullcrap. She knew she was realm so she should have known the consequences of producing babies from Ser Harwin.
Nomaan
Brain rot. Her sons are legitimate as Corlys and Laenor accepted them. Her sons are actually worthy of the throne unlike the rapists and kinslayers on ur team green
Muhammad Affan
Team Green. Team Black is wrong. Rhaenyra has infact bastard sons. She herself lost her ligitmacy.
Muhammad Affan
No. Considering HOTD is complete in books, the overall seasons comparison will be reverse
lelouch top 2 not 2 (brog)
just caught up with this show so I’m about to watch the reactions. let me just say ahead of time. cristin cole is a fucking loser, aemond is the only likeable green, and daemon is best character so far. oh man cole is a fucking dork.
Eiden Porter
Oh my fucking god I can’t ever like someone in this show, they always do something to make me question them
Yoxxhio
Idk what yall are talking about saying it's not fully Aemond's fault. a dragon is not a toy, he used a war dragon to attack a baby dragon, and that dragon shot fire to protect itself like it should've. this is all on Aegon

There is an epic piece of artwork by the artist Sam Hogg of Vhagar killing Arrax. It was created for one of the official calendars. I tried to copy and paste the image here, but was unable to do it. But it is easily accessed if you look up Sam Hogg Vhagar and Arrax. I just made the image my thumbnail icon. But this little circle doesn’t do justice to the full artwork.
Jared Long
It's always rough to end a serieson, I feel you Carter
LuvStarburst
Well I binged this whole season in one day with you guys before I have work
Huxley Bennett
Season 5 is the last one that's based off the books. I still think season 6 fits perfectly fine, and seasons 7 & 8 are actually okay to decent seasons of tv. They're just not on the same level as the first 5/6 and so feel terrible as part of the show
MishkaTho
First episode of season 2 is called ‘A Son For A Son’ btw haha
Dryden Tyler
Daemon doesn't want to live through another age of blind peace through Rhaenyra, he just wants to force the inevitable war that was bound to happen. That's why he's been prepared to act, as was Otto in prepping bts.
Wadzi
Totally agree with you p.s.
Hyōga❄️
I hope you guys do a reaction to the season 2 trailer!! I would love to hear your theories
Mat Targaryen
Anyone else craving for GoT S1E1 realllll bad? lol
Philbo
I agree with this and also the fact that she is acting the same exact way viserys did when it came war would be frustrating as well. Like the greens already swong first by taking the throne from rhaenrya. So bro was just seeing red briefly. Her not attacking is the reason lucerys is dead IMO.
Laladybug
I love all of you being Team Black but also Aemond simps. Taste 👍
ShanB
Don’t forget how she loses a second child after all of that. Worst day ever.
ShanB
I don’t doubt that this may have been covered next season in the show….

GOT > HOTD
lola
In your head canon 😭
Selena
HOTD S1 was great and obviously GOT is nostalgic and all that but HOTD really delivered. CANT WAIT FOR S2
sushi
the dragon Daemon sang to was Vermithor aka bronze fury. he's one of the oldest dragons aside from Vhagar.
sushi
nah HoTD is better
Bellaa
i still refer to the actors as their characters bc they fully embodied the role and nailed it. thats why it was so devastating for the cast and fans when the last season came. evry single person was disappointed and felt let down
Bellaa
yes i agree, i felt a lot of the dialogue in house of dragon didnt feel like it was right for the time period they are supposed to be. i felt like there was an overuse of cursing that felt so wrong. game of thrones mastered the ability to portray actors in a way that felt so realistic😭it felt like i was watching their real life as if it all actually happened
lola
Aint no way Jack saw one season of HOTD and thought it was better than GOT. Be so foreal 💀 HOTD will never compare to the masterpiece that was GOT. Nothing will ever be more shocking than THAT episode. Iykyk!!! HOTD has been a great prequel and has filled the void GOT left but it’ll never compare to the original even with the terrible ending. 🤷♀️ I said what I said!
lola
HOUSE STARK 😭💗
lola
Just watch it… it’s the best show of our generation hands down even with the terrible ending. The battles, the dialogues, literally nothing has been able to give me the goosebumps and exhilaration that GOT did. No show has even compared to this masterpiece.
lola
every GOT battle was better than anything HOD has put out so far and those are only the battle sequences. The dialogue in S1-S5 are the best written pieces of fiction. No doubt.
Ashley H.N
Amazing reaction as always and I'm super excited rewatching Game of Thrones w/you guys. Get ur hearts prepared boys, it'll be a wild ride😆
Caleb
Yeah i agree, but i feel peak GOT is 1-4 just coz 5 drops a little in quality coz they got ahead of the booka
Bellaa
ik im excited for the guys to experience GOT. no tv show has ever accomplished what they did. rven tho its j one of many masterpieces throughout the show, all u have to say is battle of the bastards and that destroys every argument saying HOD is better automatically imo😂
lola
Hot take: It’s whatever… I don’t understand the hype tbh. It’s been above average but that’s about it.
lola
I say 1-6 clear with ease and I don’t care what anyone says.
lola
Like not even a little… doesn’t even scratch the surface. At least not this first season. Season 2 should be crazier but I still don’t think it can compare to GOT.
LL
I can not WAIT until you all start GOT. Best fiction on tv. Seeing the entire 7 kingdoms and their houses just doesn't even compare. It was great to delve into the Targaryen house but there are so many other epic characters in the GOt universe.Also, it's pretty interesting some of you all haven't watched cause of all the hype there was years ago while it was airing BUT thanks to that we get to have the show on the channel!!
Bellaa
this doesnt even compare to game of thrones im sorry🤣
Mat Targaryen
@T.Yaseen yes, the ending is that bad. GoT is both my favorite and least favorite show of all time. Favorite because it's REALLY freaking good, but my least favorite b/c they destroyed the show at the end. It's sad.
Mat Targaryen
LOL true! Regarding GoT, I really would suggest watching the intro every episode. The intro in HOTD isn't that informative (or that cool, really), but every GoT intro shows the map of the world and where events will be taking place (and the intro changes a lot). Also, watching the Histories and Lore videos really helps too! Would love to see you guys react to those =]
Anna
SAME!!!! House Stark forever
Anna
This is why it’s so funny to me that in the first episode Rhaenyra wanted a sister so they could name her Visenya. And Viserys was like yikes we already have a Visenya in this family talking about Daemon 🤣
Ashley
I respect your opinion. And that’s the thing about art and creativity is everybody gets a feeling of response. I just finished a book and the ending was abrupt and wasn’t organic to the story, so unfortunately the book was not a five star rating. That is not any different than a television show. The way something is executed determines whether or not a viewer rates it certain way. And knowing that a lot of the plots don’t end up paying off, among other things, that’s not a spoiler it’s just what millions of people struggled with. A d for me rewatching the show, is tough bc I know what I know. Everybody can have their own thoughts and feelings. But if I have to cancel my subscription it’s not because of them, they’re cool…it’s just I can’t really rewatch the show. That was the message.
A
100%. Hated the last few episodes but I’d still recommend to watch it regardless
Blank B
Yes, it's true that dragons made them kings, but so did dreams. Without Daenys's dream, the Targaryens would have perished in Old Valyria with the rest of the Valyrians. Viserys is right, dragons are still dragons.
Blank B
Vaghar not only has battle experience, but was in the original conquest. When Aegon conquered Westeros, he did so with his dragon Balerion the Black Dread and his sister-wives Rhaenys and Visenya. Balerion was later ridden by Viserys. Visenya rode Vaghar and Rhaenys rode a dragon called Meraxes. Vermithor was ridden by King Jahaerys, the king before Viserys but hasn't had a rider since his death. Vermithor is the second biggest dragon after Vaghar.
Reema Adem
Vaghar isn't just huge and old but it was also Visenya Targaryen's dragon. Visenya was Aegon the conqueror's sister (and wife). Aegon conquered Westeros with the help of his two sisters/wives and Visenya was basically the badass (and the crazy one) among the siblings. So out of all the dragons on the show, Vaghar is probably the one with the most battle experience.
Blackeyedlily
In the very first episode you had Queen Aemma tell Rhaenyra that the birthing bed is the woman’s battlefield. And if you read the Game of Thrones book series you will see this same sentiment mentioned throughout the series. I say this because it felt like it was an important point to get across when you had a season filled with so many birthing scenes, some of them quite difficult. I think it was also the purpose of going back and forth between the bloody tournament and the bloody birth of the first episode. While the birth in this episode was anything but normal, I just wanted to share with you guys that walking around during labor is generally a really good thing, that can help the labor along. One aspect of this birth that they did not bring over from the book is that this was the only daughter ever born to Rhaenyra. I wish they would have added that detail, which makes it even more tragic. While making no excuses for Daemon choking Rhaenyra, it felt like his anger was probably because by learning that Viserys never told him Aegon’s prophecy, it was a sign that Viserys never seriously thought of Daemon as his heir. And no matter what you think of him, it seemed that the most important thing to Daemon was that his brother took him seriously. Keeping a divide between Daemon and Viserys appeared to be a major priority for Otto. If you rewatch the series pay attention to how hard Otto worked to sow division between them at every opportunity. After the episode, you guys were discussing how just little changes in events caused major consequences in the story. One thing that stood out to me was how Otto was the one to push Viserys to name Rhaenyra as his heir in the first place. And this was done to keep Daemon from being the heir. But if Otto had just waited to see if his plan to make Alicent the next queen worked, he could have avoided this whole situation. If Daemon had still been the official heir when Viserys married Alicent, then it would have been easy to get the king to declare their first born son the official heir. Otto caused a lot of this mess for himself because of his hatred of Daemon. The huge dragon that Daemon was singing to was his grandfather, King Jaehaerys’ dragon Vermithor. This dragon has had lots of battle experience. And Daemon was preparing him for a new rider, not trying to claim him for himself. You guys should watch the trailer for Season Two. I recently heard someone report that Season Two would be out by the end of June, instead of August. I can’t completely verify that. But let’s hope they were right. If so, I would expect some additional trailers very soon.
PS
Vhagar is much bigger, and Daemon has had more years with his dragon
GBuckets
The dumb and dumber writers reached the point where George RR Martin stopped writing the novel, so they created their own ending and rushed it so they can be done with the show already and move on to other projects. Funny thing is, after season 8, their next project got cancelled. 😂
Bellaa
the game of thrones ending was not written by the original author of the books. he hasnt finished the story yet and we still havent gotten past where they left off in either season 6 or 7 i forget. season 8 is completely d&d. i think you will see how different game of thrones is once u watch it. its an amazing experience haha
Kwisatz
The recency bias is real with Jack
TheSauceGuy
Surely both sides will have a civil discussion about what occurred and make a good compromise.
Tiffany Lemke
Yes I heard that one SpongeBob episode when the trumpets went off. lol
jessica schwantes
100%. One of the best shows ever made, even with the ending
Uros Vesic
First 4 seasons of GoT are better, in my opinion. But currently this show is better than latter parts of that show
Mitch
Worse than u could think. I genuinely could write a 15 page thesis about everything wrong with 7-8.
SoClose
Gonna wanna clear a slot for Shogun.
T.Yaseen
Atrocious is crazy damn 😭 was the writing for season 7-8 really that bad
GBuckets
season 1-4 were great. 5 and 6 were fine, 7 and 8 were atrocious
GBuckets
they're watching it anyways and you already watched this, might as well just watch it with them. Also, the terrible seasons doesn't take away how great the earlier seasons are.
Studio Geck
Just realized Otto is the lizard from spiderman lol
Maverick
Game of thrones is better in every way so far, but house of the dragons is solid
RipIsMySon
Game of thrones binge like Naruto?
Mysterious Figure
You and all of us here "ruined" it for ourselves when we watched GOT as it was airing and everyone here that watched HOTD after first watching GOT is just fine and loved it. The creators of the original shows intended the audiences to watch these shows in the way they were made. Why do you know better? I dont think anything was ruined for me and I think it would actually ruin their enjoyment of GOT if they skipped anything as you are suggesting. Focusing so much and talking endlessly about "spoilers" is such an annoying part of popular culture nowadays.
Mai
silence. you stan an actual rapist. nobody is taking you seriously.
Mai
i don’t like dameon either so now what? you tried it.
Brittany Mitchell
Yea I'm also sure he didn't mean to kill him it's just with all the circumstances there was a significant chance that chase would end with Luke dying or being injured (eg flying into something, slipping off Arrax in the storm trying to evade Vaegar, getting hit by lightning)
Stannis the Mannis
You mean the absolute joke of a “battle scene” in episode 3? That’s his experience?
Stannis the Mannis
still a better person with less crimes than Daemon, a character that casual audiences glaze so hard it pokes out the back of their throat.
T.Yaseen
yup,my first watch(for this show) was with you guys😁
Kale
Dude has been losing his mind in every comment section on these episodes 💀
Kale
Ye, apparently it’s intended to be a Miniseries, so it’s all in one season
Tyler Sick
The world is so much bigger in GoT. Bigger cast, more locations, more storylines. HoTD will have a bigger budget and with it coming out a decade later it will have every advancement to audio and visual over GoT. And the source material is written and complete.
Studio Geck
Did you watch with us?
T.Yaseen
No no no no man what the hell...lucerys was literally one of my favourite characters in this show...pure and honest...im so sad right now...this has been a great watch and i cant wait for season 2!
Tyler Sick
There’s 1 episode in GoT that is responsible for YouTubers uploading their reactions to our favorite tv series. Regardless of the ending it was must see television for 8 years straight! Great acting, great dialogue, amazing set designs.
Mitch
100% it still contains the best content ever put to television so it’s worth it for that alone. And for the last two seasons at least it’s visually very pleasing, u just need to turn your brain off completely and you’ll enjoy it to some extent
Mitch
Wow is it only one season confirmed?
Ant just watching
Yall watching Crunchyroll anime awards tomorrow?
Kale
With HOTD waiting for S2 and Game of thrones not started yet, y’all should fr check out Shogun, it’s based on a book in 1600s Japan. It’s SOOOOO much similar vibes to got and hotd (but without dragons) And it’s only going to be 10 episodes with no season2 because it’s going to be a complete series in one season 🙏
Zechree
you should watch Shogun its quite good
Zechree
definitely
Berndelta
Almost 2 weeks since both Naruto and FMAB?
Chrisiyyi
its not as bad yes, specially after rewatching, just so much plot trying to be wrapped up in so little episodes, nothing compared to first seasons where they took their time, first seasons of GoT are better then HoTD imo
dy
Yes its incredible from seasons 1-6. I enjoyed 7 and 8 for the visuals and seeing all the character interactions, but obviously the writing does fall off quite a lot. Still very much worth watching.
T.Yaseen
for those who watched GOT(i didnt) do you think its still worth watching the show despite the ending beeing this bad,would you recommend it to anyone knowing how bad the ending is?
RipIsMySon
Game of thrones this weekend?
JJ
At this point just drop Game of Thrones since we never getting Naruto
Caleb
This definitely cooks but GOT season 1-4 clears so hard

GOT soon lets go!!!

peachpunishment
After reading Fire and Blood, it is so fcking cool to see Vermithor, the dragon Daemon encountered this episode, in live action. Vermithor belonged to King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, the king before Viserys. The crown given to Rhaenyra was also worn by King Jaehaerys I, (can be seen in first episode) which was handed down to Viserys, and now is in Rhaenyra's possession. I like to believe that that specific crown symbolizes the true, willing, line of succession from King to King/Queen, whereas Aegon II basically just uses the ethos of Aegon the Conqueror (uses his crown, his sword Blackfyre, and his name) to usurp the throne over the true desires of the previous king. The Greens are clever for sure. Excited for summer.
Hamilton
Y’all need to watch Shogūn as the next live action show!
Raven Sub
HOTD's biggest flaw is that it doesn't get the time to thoroughly develop its characters and relationships, especially with all the time jumping. Luke's death should have hit so hard, we should all have been an emotional mess from it, but outside of the shock factor most people had little to no emotive feelings about it. Because we barely even knew the kid. Now compare that to another GOT s1 death and how emotional the response to that was. And they got that attachment from its audience in only 10 episodes too.
Mat Targaryen
I don't know if anyone has commented on this yet, but Rhaenyra and Daemon do have children together. They were introduced in ep 8: Aegon (known as Aegon the Younger to differentiate between him and Alicent's son - now King Aegon II) and Viserys (named after ou beloved king). The baby she lost on this episode was called Visenya.
neko
I can get why Jack said that in the end about hotd being another level compared to Got. Both Got and Hotd are very different in terms of story so I can get why some prefer one over the other. What remains the same for both of these series are that they do politics so well and have very great written characters. If hotd maintains this level of quality till the end, surpassing Got is not surprising at all. However, Got will always be special in my heart.
Poragami
When it comes to stirring up something big, HotD doesn't even come close to GoT, i really don't know why Jack would say that lmao, it has to be recency bias
Squidward's Grumpier Cousin
Also the abysmal quality of later seasons makes it easy to forget how good the first half is.
Lux Omnia Vincit
Not too obvious. Only those who watched GoT would probably notice it.
Michael Corleone
What happened to Ninja Kamui?
A
And I truly try to stay open minded for everything but it was just not good. Granted, I only watched it once when it aired because I was pissed so idk maybe I’ll change my mind on rewatch? 🤷🏾♀️ I feel it might not be likely though but we’ll see.
A
I, sadly, was not satisfied at all. I wouldn’t say everything that happened made sense but I guess that’s just my viewpoint. It left a sour taste in my mouth.
Kayla
Canon why are you 3 for 3 on these pregnancy predictions?? I'm laughing my ass off but I have so much respect for it LOL
A
Aemond should have known better. They are riding literal beasts. Antagonizing Luke with 2 dragons involved was a recipe for disaster. I think Arrax wanted to protect himself and Lucerys so he attacked Vhagar. I get Aemond was still pissed about his eye but boy you said it yourself, you have the biggest dragon now because of it like wtf! I’ll always be salty about this because I really liked Lucerys lol
kiiturii
Just bought the GoT books so I guess I'll be reading and then watching yall react to the show lol, that'll be interesting for sure
A
We’re finally at the end but I’m so excited for S2 this year!! I can’t wait for GoT!!
Saki
sooo ready for the upcoming got reactions - i havent watched it in forever, but i just know that there are some scenes in particular that r gonna be absolutely crazy for yall! cant wait 👀
kiiturii
he never wanted to kill him. Who knows if he even intended on cutting his eye out and just wanted to scare him. He knows the consequences of killing Lucerys and it was the last thing he wanted to do there. I think his desperate yells to try to control vhagar and his expression afterward show that pretty well. He definitely fucked up bad and he knows it too, I'm extremely curious to see what his move from here on will be
kiiturii
it's already starting huh
kiiturii
I don't think it matters whether or Rhaenys had decided she was on Rheaneyras side or not, she had already picked the side that is against the hightowers and their false claim to the throne. The reason she didn't burn them then and there isn't because she thought she could stay out of the war, it is because it is not her war to start. That's what she said. It is up to Rhaeneyra where to go from there. Rhaenys's goal was to escape and bring word to Rhaeneyra, not to be the spark that lights the war and kill "the king"
Marcusinmilw
How about letting THEM decide if they want to have massive plot points spoiled or knowing the ultimate fates of certain characters before they are revealed in the show.
Briaunna wyant
I’ve always said this! Aemond is cool don’t get me wrong, but he is a young and inexperienced version of Daemon
Ana
Yeah a lot of people don't know about them just search on YouTube they have all of them for free

Wait wtf I’ve never seen this before?!

You probably already know, but George RR Martin wrote lore and would building for Elden Ring
Ana
When you guys react to GoT there is a history and lore video after each season that is narrated by the actors of the show as their characters. And they are told in bias ways you'll hear how each side feels about what happened. It's sooooo good. You will learn so much that is left out the show. It's tells you why certain families instantly have beef with each other as soon as you see them on screen. That is my only gripe with the show it left out of stuff.
Ana
Such a good show. Sad it's over. HOTD of the dragon is an amazing show. But GoT is on a whole other level. So many players. Omg the dialogue is the best part with the politics. And the best house which is Stark. GoT is my favorite show. People like to shit on the end cuz it's the popular thing to do. But what could they have done. George is not in a rush to finish the books. We should thank them for even giving us an ending. And the ending makes sense it was just rushed which sucked.
Vernus
Mckay’s face reactions for this series have been amazing. The baby scene was fucked for me cuz I was to busy laughing as his reaction.
shmaimeee
yeah which would never have happened if aemond wasn’t chasing him in the first place lol
Ana
The difference is Aemond did not earn the respect. Daemon is that guy. He fought wars and does what needs to be done. Aemond think he's daemon but hasn't done anything just a naive boy.
TheSauceGuy
least biased pfp and username
Ana
Yeah the dialogue and characters on GoT is undefeated
Mitch
Because season 6 had flashes of some of the worst writing, plot armor and contrivances put to television at times. I agree it’s def enjoyable and good during certain moments but it’s not even remotely up to par with the first 4 seasons
Princess Zuma
I agree. The world of GoT is huge.
Princess Zuma
I love HotD but Game of Thrones is still better in my opinion. The scale is just huge and the dialog is top tier 👌🏾 You guys will love it 😀
I Am Gojo
be realistic, they arent going to skip around parts. Most of us saw GoT before HoTD and it didnt affect my enjoyment of HoTD at all
Kevin Harrington
Take a look at the deformed baby Rhaenyra gives birth to.
Brig Andrus
?
TheSauceGuy
I really hope they show the wild dragons in the next season
Nrock23
Why would they do that
Marcusinmilw
I'm super stoked you guys have decided to watch GoT, but please, PLEASE be aware that in seasons 4 and 5 there are MASSIVE HotD spoilers so there are parts of certain episodes you'll want to skip over.
Brittany Mitchell
I will never get over Aemond and Vaegar killing Lucerys... Aemond: "NO VAEGAR NO NO!," yet he was the one chasing this small dragon in a wild thunderstorm screaming to rip his nephew's eyeball out :/ Not sure why he was so shocked when Lucerys gets cooked XD
Brittany Mitchell
Ugh GOT is about to be epic
Ashley
It’s not as bad I just didn’t like it at the time except for a couple of the bigger plots that happen in the end of the season. Mostly the last two episodes as we know
Stannis the Mannis
Vhagar never went into kill mode until Luke lost control of Arrax as flame blasted Vhagar in the face
Ashley
Such a fire line
Ashley
Ps When you guys watch Game of Thrones SKIP the scene in season 4, that literally tells you the end house of the dragon. Don’t watch it! I’m sure people can remind you, but seriously don’t ruin it for yourself!! I’ll try to watch it with you guys, I just can’t rewatch that show knowing how much they fucked up the ending …. Be interesting to see what you guys think about it tho
Ashley
Epic! One of the best episodes of of TV I’ve ever seen! I cry every time she’s crowned! Gr8 job guys! Your predictions are pretty 👀are you reading wiki? 🤣. I agree Game of Thrones was good but this cooks in a different way.🔥. Matt Smith and Emmal tried FYI to get them to throw out the scene of Daemon choking Rhaenyra. They fought hard against it. He doesn’t do it in the book and he loves his blood family very. I just pretend it didn’t happen! EXCITED for june!
Kevin Harrington
No one’s gonna comment on the dragon baby? Y’all looked right at his horns 🤣
Asher Susman

they did the 8 episodes last week didn’t they
Mitosdomain
The big dragon Daemon chanted to(Vermithor) was once rode by the king before Viserys, but it basically went into retirement after King Jaehaerys' death. Vermithor is the second largest, and second oldest dragon in the world right after Vhagar. So yea S2 is gonna be INSANEE!!😭
Delane Gill
Yeah back in the days of old valyria, dragonlords we’re doing all sorts of blood magic to bind with dragons and basically altered both themselves and dragons to have a supernatural/magic bond with each other

Melizé
ALSO #2 - Cannon you cracked me up at the end "here's my feet" LMAO
Melizé
ALSO, I was surprised that no one said it or maybe I missed it, but wasn't it so cool when Rhaenyra shows up at the bridge on her dragon!? Like throwback to I believe ep 2 when young Rhaenyra shows up, also on dragonback regarding the dragon eggs Daemon took, the parallel is crazy. Otto vs Daemon, the bridge, Rhaenyra's entrance!!! Only this time Rheanyra sides with Daemon. So good. Can't wait for you to start GoT
Melizé
Pointing this out cuz you were surprised by the fact that Daemon and Rhaenyra had kids already. You've seen the kids haha. I believe two episodes ago when Rhanenyra brought them to Viserys, he was so happy that one of them was named after him "now that is a name fit for a king" or something along those line. They are just babies so they are not shown much.. or in any other scene.
Arctic_stark
Also, I wouldn't put too much stock in what Viserys says about them not really being in control of the dragons. Viserys's opinion is biased because he was not fond of being a dragon rider, and he was a pacifist who rejected the Targaryen in him (an argument can be made that this is why the Throne rejected him and he was always cutting himself). Like it or hate it, Daemon is right. Dragons made the Targaryens who they were. And dragons made Valyria the greatest empire ever. The Valyrians have had control over dragons for centuries. What we see with Lucerys and Aemond are just two young boys who dont really know what they're doing and their emotions overwhelm them and their dragons.
Mysterious Figure
You guys have no idea what you are getting yourselves into with Game of Thrones next week. You are in for a ride of your lives.
Arctic_stark
Look at the contrast between Daemon and Aemond, Aemond can barely control Vhagar while Daemon has perfect control over Caraxes. Daemon almost never even has to give a verbal command, Caraxes perfectly understands and obeys. The book highlights it much more, but Aemond really is a wannabe Daemon but without the substance.
Pressure
this is so random and not related at all but i would want yall to watch mha just so i can see the movie 2 last fight reaction
bittersteel
Then the storm broke, and the dragons danced.

In my opinion it’s like recency bias but the opposite, whatever that’s called. People like to pretend season 6 was as bad as season 8 and just downright terrible as if when season 6 was airing GOT wasn’t still considered the greatest show on tv. Yeah there were small cracks in the writing but it was still absolutely amazing week by week. Never heard as much complaining about 6 as I did after 8 aired.
Dana Sow
I really enjoyed you guys reaction to this season. I can't wait for you guys to start GOT. And regarding season 2, the most recent update was that it would return in June.
Wadzi
Please start GOT ASAP. HOTD S1 was solid and I liked it but to me its nothing compared to GOT especially Seasons 1 to 6 they are beyond GOATED.
Lux Omnia Vincit
Im with McKay, recency bias. GoT S01 >>>> HotD S01
Nonos
Why ppl always hate s6. It’s the best season other than 4. Writing might be a lil worse but it was pure entertainment and gratification to me.
Cody Parrott
To answer your question about how Daemon found out from the book: pieces of Arrax and Lucerys washed up on Dragonstone’s beach
Dani
hotd was really good but obviously it still hasn't reached game of thrones level of insanity. I think you guys are in for a crazy journey.

Try 2016 lol

Mat Targaryen
I second this!
Chuck Norris
Left off in a satisfying way? Are you joking? It definitely is as bad as people claim
Zakki
I've been hearing these whispers since 2022, so I won't be holding my breath 🥲🥲 I'll believe it when the book is finally here lol

Love that Jack is alluding to Viserys’ words in episode 1: “The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion. They're a power man should never have trifled with.” I feel like we don’t give Viserys enough credit. As Balerion’s last rider, he knew wtf he was talking about when it came to dragons
Mai
nah fuck aemond. he’s not as cool as everyone makes him out to be
1999
TAAOOOOOOBAAA

The way I saw the scene where Daemon grabbed Rhaenyra's neck, despite hating to witness that side of Daemon, was that the moment she spoke of the prophecy, he realized that Viserys never truly regarded him as the heir. Once again, he felt like a 'card out of the deck' to his own brother and ended up unleashing that anger on Rhaenyra.
Wiame
+ the amount of failed childbirths in this season traumatized the **** out of me

Love the reaction as always but before we get any more avatar or before you start game of thrones, can we get some more fmab and naruto pleaseeee (the faster you get through naruto, the faster you can get to shippuden lmao) and I just feel like we haven’t seen fmab in a lil minute
jaeideun
rhaenys didn’t kill them because king slaying and kin slaying are heavily frowned upon in westeros. if she burned aegon she would’ve a.) killed the “king” and b.) kill her cousins (aegon, aemond, helaena) all in front of thousands of witnesses.
Chuck Norris
HOTD was good but its not really close to the first 4 seasons of GOT imo it will be interesting to see how you guys view since youve seen this first
Chuck Norris

Got s1-4> Hotd s1> got s5-8

Got is the epitome of production quality and budget not equating to quality of the show itself. Literally as the budget got better the show gets worse
alexis ♡︎
i really love this episode because it makes me so emotional. from when rhaenyra gets the bad news, to her coronation ceremony was just so heart breaking and well done to me. she first learns that not only is her father dead, but that her childhood best friend who called her queen YESTERDAY usurped her throne and crowned aegon king in front of the masses. she then proceeds to miscarry her first daughter and is forcibly taken away from acting upon her promotion to queen, which is rhaenyra’s worst nightmare. in the first episode, her mom tells her that childbirth is the woman’s battlefield (or something like that) and rhaenyra alwaysss loathed that idea. and here we see that ideal become a reality for her at a crucial moment. then, rhaenyra suffers a gut wrenching birth, which is arguably the WORST birth scene this season, not in terms of quality but the hardest to watch for me at least jeezus 🫣. so in however many hours, rhaenyra has lost her father, her crown, and a child. IM DONE!! then just as she hits rock bottom, ser erryck brings rhae her father’s crown, bends the knee, and calls her queen, along with basically everyone else in attendance 🥹 talk about highs and lows though wtf 😟
Wiame
I would a 100% support my Black Queen if she goes mad after this
I'm Literally Shinei Nouzen
Can we get Game of Thrones this weekend in place of Hunter x Hunter? I know you guys want to start just as bad as we want to see it.
Anna
My heart breaks for Rhaenyra. She lost her father, daughter, son, and throne. That last shot of her 🔥🔥The Black Queen enters the chat
Anna
Poor sweet Luke 😭😭😭😭 Arrax was just scared!!
Crayonz
im sure jack and mckay are already aware but whenever you all start watching GoT, the production quality is going to be a bit lower for the first season or 2. Of course, it's just because that's when the show first started airing and the budget was a lot lower. The show is still amazing from the beginning though.
ElleS
Vermithor was ridden by the Old King Jaehaerys and only Balerion and Vhagar were larger.
Shay Peart
I get what you're saying, but I wouldn't say Arrax provoked Vaghar. More like Aemond wanted to have a little fun by being stupid and then his stupidness caused this whole thing. Because if he wasn't chasing Lucereys, then Arrax wouldn't have felt the emotion to defend his rider. Now, she's lost 2 children because of the greens.
DovaBro
Game of Thrones now pls
GBuckets
Yall gotta start Game of Thrones right away. HOTD is great, GOT is even better
Socorro Viernes
Yes thank you Arrax is also a young dragon while Vhagar is from the time of Aegon's conquest so she's used to just fighting without any commands.
Alec Raatz
We need new Naruto!!
nans
this was such a fun rewatch with you all!!! can't wait for game of thrones soon :) i agree with the ending not being satisfying, but the show as whole will still be such a great time to experience with the geks
icynub
Game of thrones is waaay better just saying
IchiGoat
honestly i don’t think you can compare HOTD 1 season to GOT 8 seasons and say it’s better. i do think that HOTD season 1 is better than GOT season 1 but for me as someone who has read both books and watched both shows, i do think GOT is better . the characters are better , the story telling is better and it goes in detail of how the world works and shows you the different houses. HOTD mainly focuses on the targaryens in their prime. so it doesn’t really show you the rest of the GOT world which is fine and HOTD Is an amazing show but the only reason it’s popular now is because GOT.
Thina
Ya in my opinion Lucerys death is Aemond's fault. Aemond tried to use dragons as a form of teasing. In turn he spooked Arrax which caused him to retaliate. Viserys said it himself, we don't truly control the dragons. They aren't toys nor objects they can 100% control at bid. Aemond messed up bad and you can tell it in his face at the end.
I❤️movies&tvshows
So excited you guys are starting GOT. It is a much more graphic/violent show which makes it more intense and more of a thriller. So you do have to prepare yourselves for season 1 ahead of time knowing that is coming. There are a lot more characters. Which makes remembering names more difficult the first few episodes because of that. It takes everyone who watches it a few episodes to remember who is who.
JJ
You can’t chase down a baby dragon on a war dragon. That wasn’t luke fault Almond is a fool!
Dio
I don't think Lucerys's dragon started the fight with Vhagar lol. did you forget Vhagar was literally lunging at Arrax in the sky trying to take him down. Lucerys's dragon was only trying to get away and blew fire in his face to help run, not fight. it was completely Aemond's fault. Vhagar was probably out of control because of bloodlust while Arrax was out of control because of fear and trying to get away
shmaimeee
it literally wasn’t lucerys’ dragons fault lol. the blame lies solely with aemond because he decided to f around and chase an inexperienced (basically baby) dragon around with a literal centuries old WAR dragon nd then was like ommgg no vhagar why would u do that!?!? like what did he think was gonna happen
godspeed
React to season 2 trailer!!
Apple
+1 for 86 again
Seth Aasland
aemond is such a bum. what happened to “it was a fair exchange” when he lost his eye?? and NOW he wants lucerys’ eye?! butthurt prince, he already has the largest dragon in the world lol
IchiGoat
A SON FOR A SON THE BLACK QUEEN IS HERE🗣‼️‼️

The hightowers really trying to erase the legacy of the Targaryens. It’s crazy .

this was an epic season of reactions. now you guys are going to get to react to the greatness that is game of thrones. i’m literally so giddy rn thinking about it
Tim Moore
true and real

I’ve heard whispers that winds of winter may be releasing in the next year or so - we can hope right 😩
Derrick Johnson
REACT TO THE SEASON 2 TEASER
Socorro Viernes
The thing with GOT is that the story isn't even finished yet so after a certain season the show creators just made up whatever because they had gotten a Star Wars deal and then they didn't even end up doing the project so they left a lot of things unanswered and woth HOTD it's a completed book so they have source material to pull from even if they changed some things
Débora Silva
Can't wait to see this reaction! Sad that it has ended, but I'm glad you guys will react to GOT
A
Right as I’m about to head out for work 😭
Autumn
To answer a couple of the questions y’all had at the beginning: HOTD has different TV writers/show runners than the ones who wrote Game of Thrones. George RR Martin wrote the books that both are based on. Yes, HOTD is a completed story in the books. We know the ending. Game of Thrones is still not finished (a new book hasn’t come out in over 10 years and there are supposed to be 2 more)
Ana
Fr. And the ending legit makes sense. Just was rushed. Also people fake af cuz the same reactions I saw were hyped and screaming when they reacted to it. And then the internet said it was bad and the same people flipped on it saying it was bad
M2GZ
fmab today?
Frank Francis
Great! Thank you for posting these episodes close to each other
icynub
Omg lets gooo
Dio
Ok the GOT ending is definitely not as bad as people claim it to be. Sure, you could say the final season felt rushed, but there were still good moments and it left off in a satisfying way. You may enjoy it just fine, don't let other opinions cloud your judgement of it!
Agent September
On an episode-to-episode level I prefer HOTD season 1 to GOT season 1

Can't wait to watch later but now y'all see why we ride for our Beautiful Queen Rhaenerya so hard. Hope y'all react to the trailer for season 2 🖤🖤
