    thought the kid's head was gonna fall off the cart
  • The acting from Tom Glynn Carney as Aegon was phenomenal in this episode. The visceral response of losing his son & heir was very palpable!
  • @PGHPulse
    Erryk vs Arryk bamboozled me not gonna lie. That was a great fight setup and even better acting.
  • I love the parallels between Alicent and Otto this episode. Alicent wanted to have a heart to heart and open up to her father while he straight up shut her down. Right after, she sees Aegon crying over the loss of his son and doesn’t take the opportunity to comfort him in his grief and just walks away. Just brilliant writing. Really does show the consequences of how parents raise their children, mentioned at the beginning of the video.
  • Definitely loved everyone’s acting. But the twins’ fight and Ser Erryk killing himself was so emotional 😭 that scene broke my heart
  • Rhaenyra understands his grief. She’s not laughing. She’s still grieving her own child.
  • The Cargyll brawl went harder than i anticipated, the build up to war is just phenomenal. The pieces are moving and soon there will be carnage.

    Loved how this episode put a special focus on the small folk. It adds so much volume to the world seeing the ramifications of war brought by the main characters. Really good episode.

    I think a really underrated scene was Aemond being shown in an extremely vulnerable light with Madam Sylvie. They did well in making the parallel of him being physically naked but also emotionally naked
  • I don't know his name but the actor who plays Aegon was EXCELLENT this episode. It's very easy to go over the top when acting strong emotions but he plays it perfectly.

    The saddest part for me was coming to the understanding that we won’t have the twins anymore but they killed it in their last scene literally lol
  • The rhaenyra,and daemon argument scene was pristine acting its shame they are probably not going to have many more scenes together this season.
  • @ImXiqzo
    So many good actors in this episode. This is what I want. Great dialogs and acting is what made game of thrones.
  • @Nina-xo555

    If Criston Cole has no haters, I’m dead

    The fight between the brothers was probably the best 1v1 fight in the franchise. It was beautifully acted and choreographed and the ending was just brutal.
