Everything with Em

A little of this, a little of that, a lot of sass

House of the Dragon S1E4 Thoughts

  1. I’m still mad we didn’t get to see the fight with the Crabfeeder.
  2. Also, I saw an interesting theory that the Crabfeeder had greyscale, which could explain the scaliness of his face, and his descent into insanity.
  3. This guy really was trying to marry Rhaneyra? Buddy, no.
  4. Oh god, this child. What is this parade of fools?
  5. This kid is well spoken, I’ll give him that.
  6. Bracken is a dick.
  7. OH DAMN
  8. THE KID HAS SKILLS
  9. She is really going on a trip around the kingdom to meet eligible matches. Ugh.
  10. Daemon only now got back and Rhaenyra’s been off on her pageant for how long?
  11. And Daemon has a crow on his head. Oh boy. This doesn’t bode well.
  12. King of the narrow sea.
  13. Oh look, Daemon is bending the knee. He’s got to have a plan though.
  14. Aw, a brotherly hug. I don’t expect this peace to last long.
  15. Viserys is not happy with Rhaenyra, it seems.
  16. I think Viserys is a little drunk. And he’s rather petty.
  17. Daemon has his eyes on Rhaenyra. Now we get the uncle/niece dynamic we were clearly missing in GoT.
  18. Oh, Alicient gave birth already.
  19. It seems she and Rhaenyra have patched things up.
  20. Oh, right. That’s the necklace Daemon gave her in the first episode.
  21. It’s been four years since Daemon was sent off. Good to know.
  22. Daemon is actually making some sense. I’m confused.
  23. I’m really so impressed by the makeup department. They made Daemon look battle worn and aged so well.
  24. I’m guessing they try to marry Laenor to Rhaenyra.
  25. How many babies has Alicent had?
  26. A message was hidden in her clothes. A secret tunnel?
  27. Reminds me of Tyrion’s escape.
  28. If I lived in a castle, I would certainly have found secret tunnels.
  29. Oh, it was Daemon who sent the message. All right then.
  30. What exactly is Daemon’s plan here?
  31. Street rat. Aladdin reference, anyone?
  32. Sir Harwin knows she’s out there and lets it happen.
  33. And now we’re at a pleasure house. Great place to take your niece, Daemon.
  34. And Viserys wanted a booty call.
  35. Oh, there’s the mark on his back. Guess it ever healed.
  36. Alicent looks thrilled by this.
  37. And Rhaenyra looks interested, concerned, and confused all at the same time.
  38. Oh. Here we go.
  39. That is your niece, Daemon.
  40. Well, at least Rhaenyra is enjoying it more than Alicient.
  41. Daemon just had a very big realization.
  42. Criston is so confused by Rhaenyra suddenly appearing.
  43. Rhaenyra is feeling fiesty now that Daemon rejected her.
  44. I mean, I would kiss Criston too.
  45. He’s not fighting hard, is he?
  46. They are so gentle with his armor, it’s kind of funny.
  47. Who is the White Worm?
  48. Ah, the White Worm is Mysaria.
  49. So, she’s got her own system of spies now. You’ve got to hand it to her. She figured out how to survive.
  50. Otto knows that Daemon took Rhaenyra to the pleasure house.
  51. Dude delights in this. Maybe worry about his own life more and less about everyone else.
  52. Viserys didn’t seem concerned taht she was in a pleasure house, until Daemon was included.
  53. Mysaria has been working with Otto for a while, then.
  54. F*ck off Otto. Even Viserys can see through you.
  55. Oof, Alicient heard all of that.
  56. Is Alicient going to tell her what she heard?
  57. I mean, they didn’t get that far, but he did touch her.
  58. “Sullied.” God, I hate this talk of virtrue.
  59. Will Dameon tell the truth or lie to protect Rhaenyra too?
  60. Daemon has the world’s worst hangover.
  61. In this condition? God, I hate this so much.
  62. Men can do what they want and women have to guard their virture. Ugh.
  63. Ah, there’s Daemon’s plan. Marry Rhaenyra and become king since no lord would want a woman who is “sullied”.
  64. There’s the real last rift between the brothers.
  65. Daemon, maybe don’t try to hook up with your niece and then tell her dad to marry her to you.
  66. Papa lies…I mean Rhaenyra lies.
  67. This show can’t go an episode without Viserys talking about this prophecy.
  68. Viserys, you married a 15 year old because of your desires. So shut up.
  69. Viserys, you are my headache.
  70. Yes, Rhaenyra. Call out your father, and throw Otto under the bus.
  71. Burst belly, aka appendicitis.
  72. Otto, stop pretending to be so shocked.
  73. Bye bye Otto.
  74. What is the Maester bringing in that little glass bottle?
  75. Oh, I know. Basically, Plan B.
  76. The King knew she was lying and is giving her birth control.
  77. Let the woman make her own choices. That is the mantra of this episode.
