Everything with Em

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

House of the Dragon S2 E8 Thoughts

  1. My god, this recap is long. So many things to bring together in this finale.
  2. MONKEY
  3. Did that Lannister have the authority to make that deal?
  4. There is always one more condition.
  5. Well hello. I like this captain.
  6. That smile was so unnerving.
  7. The “pretender.” Sigh.
  8. Larys isn’t wrong. Aemond would take out Aegon so quickly.
  9. Oh, so Sunfrye is dead then.
  10. Larys paints a pretty picture, but Aegon is so focused on his dick.
  11. The realms delight. That’s what they called Rhaenyra in the book.
  12. How long has Baela been wandering?
  13. Ulf, hands to yourself.
  14. I understand Jace is a bit on edge, but dude needs to work on his people skills.
  15. Addam is very well known to Corlys.
  16. Has Helaena ever rode her dragon?
  17. Aw, Corlys renamed his ship after Rhaenys.
  18. Will Daemon leave Harrenhal soon?
  19. Daemon speaks from experience.
  20. Ugh, of course Broome is a turncloak.
  21. Why are men so afraid of women in power? In the show, and real life (I’m a little angry).
  22. So, Alicient returned from her little sojourn in the woods.
  23. Yes. Let Helaena be free.
  24. AEMOND
  25. LET GO OF HELAENA
  26. Ugh. Criston needs to die already.
  27. Take him out, Gwayne.
  28. Some beacon. Sending you down a dumb road.
  29. I’ll drink to that. All men are corrupt.
  30. The dragons dance. Cue credits.
  31. He’s not right in the head.
  32. Mud wrestling. Interesting choice.
  33. This Lannister looks a lot like Jamie when he was a prisoner. Same face and hair when covered in mud. Good casting.
  34. I love that Rhaena and Jace can talk about his actual parentage so easily.
  35. Wouldn’t the others have been looking for Baela? She would have been with the boys. Guards should have noticed.
  36. I like this captain, but I also like Corlys.
  37. Oh….
  38. Tyland was not prepared for that.
  39. Let’s get rid of Ulf, and just keep Hugh and Addam.
  40. Two days? Damn. Good luck new riders.
  41. Thank god, Simon Strong is so nice.
  42. Now, did Alys and Daemon share a bed or is she just looking over him?
  43. I am so confused by Alys. What does she want?
  44. Not the three eyed raven, again.
  45. Oh look. White walkers.
  46. DANY?
  47. Was that Helaena?
  48. Go away, Aemond. Leave your sister alone.
  49. Everyone needs to listen to Helaena. She knows.
  50. Ooof.
  51. Helaena spitting truths now.
  52. Time for Rhaenyra to make a little house call.
  53. Yes. Call him out, Rhaenyra.
  54. WINTER IS COMING
  55. Is he being truthful here, or just saying the words?
  56. Alfred Broome is not looking too pleased with this outcome.
  57. Simon is so confused.
  58. Where is Alys during this?
  59. Alyn never asked for the help, Corlys.
  60. YOU TELL HIM, ALYN
  61. Corlys needed to hear that.
  62. And here is Alicent.
  63. Oh, have you?
  64. Alicent, don’t call out Rhaenyra when you’re the one who was so upset about her being with another man.
  65. Alicent is still in denial and wanting to blame Rhaenyra.
  66. Oh, interesting. So, Alicent wants to just have Rhaneyra walk right into the city and take over.
  67. But Larys is going to take Aegon away, isn’t he?
  68. A son for a son. Oof.
  69. Look at Alicent having to grapple with losing a son the same way Helaena did.
  70. This is a very interesting setup for Rhaenyra taking over King’s landing.
  71. I love how people are just getting into Dragonstone and King’s Landing so easily.
  72. The Starks!
  73. Everyone is coming together, but we won’t see a fight this episode. That’s for certain.
  74. Claim that dragon!
  75. And there goes Aegon. Looks like Alicent won’t be keeping her promise, after all.
