House of the Dragon S1E8 Thoughts

  1. So, it’s been six years since the last episode and Coryls is gravely injured.
  2. Is that Baela or Rhaena next to Rhaenys?
  3. I still love how absolutely no one believes the kids are Laenor’s.
  4. Oh damn, Alicent is basically ruling now.
  5. Is someone stealing eggs?
  6. Oh wait. Is that Daemon?
  7. Three eggs? Hmm, interesting.
  8. Jace is practicing Valyrian. I like seeing him have to actually learn the language. Reminds me of Dany learning Dothraki.
  9. Aw, look at little Joffrey.
  10. Baela, she has Baela. Where is Rhaena?
  11. So, Alicent sits in the king’s chair, and not even the Hand does that.
  12. Arryk and Erryk. The twin knights who kill each other from the songs.
  13. Oh, Viserys is not doing well. Honestly, how has he survived this long?
  14. My god, he’s a skeleton now. The years have not been kind to him.
  15. He’s missing an eye like his son now, too.
  16. So, Rhaenyra and Daemon have had two kids and she’s pregnant with a third.
  17. Did Aegon assault the poor girl?
  18. Oh, she’s dead, isn’t she? Alicent is going to kill her.
  19. She’s going to have her tongue taken out.
  20. Oh, the moon tea? Wow. Look at that. Alicent giving that to servants now. Except, it’s poison, I bet.
  21. I laughed at that slap.
  22. Wow, Aegon is a great person to have on the throne.
  23. Poor kid. He never wanted any of this.
  24. Oh, the scar.
  25. Oh, so Alicent claims to be religious now.
  26. Oh, that’s Aemond for sure.
  27. Damnit, Criston is still there.
  28. Oh, here comes the Sea Snake’s brother.
  29. Oh yes. Your subjects. Not you personally.
  30. God, I love Rhaena’s hair. I will never stop remarking on it.
  31. Honestly, Laenor should have told his parents before running away.
  32. Make her an offer she can’t refuse.
  33. Rhaenys is over everything.
  34. Viserys has forgotten his other three children. Ouch for them.
  35. How is Viserys even hanging on?
  36. Viserys, can you even sit at a table to eat dinner?
  37. Damn, look at all those lesions.
  38. Come on Viserys, make your dramatic entrance.
  39. Vaemond is literally speaking treason. Shouldn’t the knights be defending the king’s stance?
  40. There we go, Viserys. One grand moment before you die. We all know he’s dying, right?
  41. Maybe someone should give him a hand. Dude is taking three days to walk the length of the room.
  42. If you can make it up the throne.
  43. Oof, the crown fell. What a statement.
  44. Ah, look at Daemon helping his poor brother.
  45. Wouldn’t it suck if Viserys cut himself again on the the throne?
  46. Come on Rhaenys. Do the right thing.
  47. Good going, Rhaenys.
  48. Suck it Alicent.
  49. Wait, which kid was that smiling with the blond hair? I don’t know who that is.
  50. Oh, Vaemond is walking on thin ice here.
  51. OUT WITH HIS TONGUE
  52. Does Vaemond realize he’s yelling at the king?
  53. Say it Vaemond. Go ahead. Nothing will happen.
  54. OFF WITH HIS HEAD TOO
  55. Oh, he made it so much worse. He couldn’t stop with bastards.
  56. OH MY GOD
  57. WHY WAS THAT SO FUNNY?
  58. Aemond idealizes Daemon for sure. Did you see that look?
  59. The fact we get to see the head with the body like this is so weird.
  60. Why does Rhaenys feel the need to watch this?
  61. Alicent and Rhaenyra look thrilled about this seating arrangement.
  62. Aemond just gives me kid playing as a pirate vibes with that eyepatch.
  63. Amen. Oh, wait.
  64. The betrothed couples are actually so cute together. I mean, look at those shy looks.
  65. Who is this kid insulting Jace? I need a name.
  66. Wait…is that Aegon? He looks nothing like earlier in the episode if it is.
  67. Phantom of the Opera mask unveiling now.
  68. Wow, it’s like Viserys has read the script or something.
  69. You know, Viserys, a house divided cannot stand.
  70. Is anyone buying this besides Viserys?
  71. Otto is really like, bitch, whatcha doing?
  72. Seriously Aegon? Keep it in your pants.
  73. Good save, Jace.
  74. WHAT BEAST BENEATH THE BOARDS?
  75. Oh damn. Helaena really just called out Aego like that.
  76. Oh, Jace asked for Helaena’s hand to dance. Aegon doesn’t like that.
  77. Aw, Viserys gets one more happy moment.
  78. Is he about to die at the table?
  79. Okay. Thank god, it’s not at the table.
  80. Oh crap. Not a pig. And Luke remembers the jest too.
  81. Don’t say it, Aemond. Don’t do it.
  82. FIGHT
  83. Daemon, beat his ass.
  84. Yeah, the king won’t make it to see her return.
  85. I thought that was Daemon in his crime cloak again.
  86. I swear, Alicent. If you think Viserys is talking about your son, you are delusional.
  87. He’s talking to Rhaenyra, not you.
  88. Alicent, you understand nothig.
  89. And there’s the dagger.
  90. And there he goes. Off to be reunited with Aemma.
  91. Kudos to that actor. He portrayed Viserys brilliantly.
