    Deamon is busy playing Luigi's Mansion while the war he was so hyped for starts without him.
  • @govinddas7876
    Sunfyre is the only living thing that shows any sort of affection towards Aegon. I found the scene of him playfully nudging on Aegon's chest really indicative of their relationship. The green family is a mess. And poor boy Sunfyre, he didnt deserve it :(
  • @ConnerKent08
    All Sunfyre wanted to do was fly around and have fun
  • @Skye_Writer
    The dragon fight was heartbreaking. One commenter put it best: "Everyone’s craving dragon on dragon violence until the moment Sunfyre gets clawed in his chest. Then you realize it’s a lot closer to dogs fighting than it is to tank battles."
  • @mcz420
    How’d you get the impression that Rhaenys doesn’t like Alyn??? She seemed to know he was Corlys bastard and told him to promote him for saving Corlys
  • I love Vaeghar plopping her head back down. 'Im too old for this shit'
  • @ktmsnoop
    Daemon out here hosting Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Ghost Hunters simultaneously at Harrenhal💀
  • The way Eric looked at the camera when Arron said he doesn’t want rhaenys to die brought back so many good memories from watching GoT reactions with calvin! Thanks for all of the great reactions!!
  • @iasaint6649
    When a Darklyn says you're not fit for the kingsguard you know that shit would hurt, you can see it on Cole's face lmao...
  • Losing Rhaenys is devastating both in the story and the show as a whole. Eve Best was one of the greatest parts of this show and I'm truly gonna miss her.
  • @Wolf6119
    Here's the thing that gets me; Aegon is honestly remarkably easy to manipulate/mold. Literally all he ever wants is a little attention and affection. ESPECIALLY from Alicent. He was at such a low point in this episode in his self-esteem that he straight up asks her "What would you have me do?" - and I honestly think he would have accepted almost any answer she gave and actually tried to do it. But Alicent is just so jaded to everything now that her pretense of carrying out Viserys's dying wish is gone, so messed up from her own upbringing, and already so resentful of her son for what he's grown up into, that she can't offer him even a little nudge in the right direction or word of consolation. All she can tell him is the brutal truth, that what she needs from him, what she thinks he's good for... is nothing. She rips into him for being bad at a job he never wanted and was pushed into, partly BY HER. And so he hits rock bottom, flies off recklessly to war and gets himself mangled and burned. So much of what happens with Team Green comes down to generational trauma and the complete inability to be there for each other, emotionally.
  • You know Alicent has a lot of nerve to tell Aegon the sacrifice to put him on the throne even tho they force him to be king Something he never wanted
  • Why do people keep making excuses for Aemond? Because of the cool factor? Of course he meant to kill Aegon. It seemed pretty obvious.
  • @MrRorza10
    The way they’re portraying Aegon’s weakness and insecurity is masterful. He’s been baited big time by Aemond into trying so hard to prove himself. And Rhaenys feeling the guilt of not already burning the Greens in the dragonpit. So good.
  • @Lowkenn_Edits
    We should also commend Sunfyre for being an absolute badass. A Dragon that is not clearly built for battle (Because of it’s naturally slender build) went into battle while never having any experience. Sunfyre could have disobeyed Aegon but chose to attack one of the most veteran Dragons of the Dance. He gets his stomach ripped open yet still continues to fly. Then gets attacked in his wing which loses his ability to fly. Bites off Meley’s horns and attacks her neck. Then gets burned alive by the strongest and most powerful Dragon. To then fall from a great height and spin his body around to land on his stomach to save Aegons life. And yet Sunfyre still survived. An absolute menace for such a young Dragon.
  • @adamhughes4387
    The 4th Dragon Eric is thinking of is Tessarion who is bonded with Daeron, the yet unseen 4th child of Alicent and Viserys.
  • @LauraGS564
    How did Eric get the impression Rhaenys did not like Alyn? She literally told Corlys he should not be kept secret but raised well
  • @scotthewitt258
    Aegon: Mumbles in broken High Valaryan. Sunfyre: Fuck he say?!?!?
  • @Hoenhime344
    Deamon is always right. Caraxes and red queen could have done it together
