I have so many thoughts on today’s episode of House of the Dragon. First off, I think it was the best episode so far this season.
•In no particular order, here are my favorite bits:
1. Lord Oscar Tully is a bamf. Kid is 13 or 14 years old, and already a wise and just leader. He brought Daemon to heel, and I am 1000% here for it.
2. Jacaerys confronting Rhaenyra about his parentage and how he is also a bastard, and his claim being threatened because the edge he had over others—his dragon—will be lost once the dragonseeds claim dragons of their own. It was his idea to have others with Targaryen blood claim dragons, but it’s backfired on him. Harry Collett’s acting shone through, here. I also enjoyed how he called Rhaenyra out for taking advice from Mysaria and not keeping him in the know, asking if the dragonseeds were her idea. The sass!
3. Alicent’s sojourn to the Godswood and the calm, peaceful nature of it. Lovely scenery, great cinematography.
4. The claiming of the dragons itself. Very tense. I really liked Ulf and Silverwing’s scene, Ulf surrendering to his fear and Silverwing ultimately calming down and choosing him. Hugh and Vermithor had a standoff, which was epic in its own right, but angrier.
5. Larys Strong continuing to be sneaky and looking after his own interests, choosing to ignore the information that Ironrod gave him. The scene near the end when they exchange glances was priceless.
6. The end shot with Rhaenyra, Vermithor, Syrax and Silverwing was powerful and exciting.
•Now for the bit I didn’t like:
1. Rhaena leaving the Vale. Too short of a scene. I feel like we should have been given at least a tiny glimpse of the dragon she’s searching for, a little tease to give the scene more impact.
———————————————————————————
As for the post-episode debrief, I think this is the first week that I actually didn’t take issue with what Condal chose to discuss!
TLDR; I really liked today’s episode, and I am excitedly looking forward to next week’s finale!

Lord Oscar told Daemon "you will have our armies with a side of humble pie or you will have nothing, King Consort" and then he said "you're the nastiest skank bitch I've ever met I fucking hate you you fugly slut" and then he spat on him I saw it with my own eyes meanwhile Lord Simon was standing there having ptsd flashbacks to the last time the crazy dragon dude lost his temper and strangled him

Vermithor: This is my rider, Hugh the Hammer. I chose him because he was strong and courageous, and challenged me when all those who came before him failed.
Silverwing: This is Ulf I found him in the trash!

Jace seeing more and more each episode that his mother's fight for her throne is not gonna secure his own seat in any way
Like, he loves and trusts his mother and she deserves the throne she was promised but Jace is also seeing that a victory here, will not negate the war he'll have to face himself once Rhaenyra passes. If anything, it's making his fight worse and worse and there's nothing they can really do about it, if he were to live long enough to get to that point in succession
I love a doomed narrative but owww

hotd s2e7 spoilers:
i was not expecting jace to let out his internalised bastardphobia this episode lmaoo.
on a more serious note i hope that scene reminded everyone that the nobles, and especially the targaryens, are classist and elitist and are not the heroes of westeros.
this is further supported later in the episode when they let a whole crowd of desperate poor people burn when they knew only one of the (if any of them) would be chosen by the dragon, instead of letting them go one by one?
(which was also just incredible stupid considering that was all the people they had and they were ready to let them all die with vermithor when one of them could be (was) silverwing's rider.)
#i did enjoy this episode you'll just never see me climbing up a targaryen's ass when they are and always will be colonisers#asoiaf#got#game of thrones#hotd#house of the dragon#fire and blood#hotd spoilers#hotd season 2#hotd s2e7#anti targaryen

Regardless of if it's in character or not for Rhaenyra to sacrifice dozens of common people to reach her end, I don't get what her plan was? Why did she have them all there at once, Vermithor ended up burning a lot of people who could have potentially claimed him or one of the others. Why would she not have them go one at a time, and keep the others in a waiting area so they don't get scared off?
#this whole thing just seems silly to me#like i get she can't do it for them they need to do the claiming themselves#but like at least give them a fighting chance here#house of the dragon#hotd#rhaenyra targaryen#s2e7#the red sowing#everyone's praising this episode but like honestly it seemed like easily the weakest of the whole show to me#this plan makes 0 sense#and it's literally the only thing that happens in this episode#(the convo with Jace was nice#but other than that we just sat around until it was time for the dragon claiming)

The look on Rhaenyra's face when she sees Vaghar and Aemond in the distance had me on my knees. That is the monster that's haunted her nightmares since the night her boy was killed and for the first time she's not hiding from them, they're running away from her. Emma D'Arcy deserves all of the awards once again.

HotD Season 2 Episode 7 Live Thoughts
Recap
Wait was that lady I said I liked Sabitha Vypren?
Driftmark
And the stills we thought might be bc Laenor came back and would pose as Addam
And there's the Addam from F&B
Addam: should I say Corlys is my father? Hmm maybe not
And Rhaenyra now will push for the dragonseeds
King's Landing
Alicent: in the middle of an existential crisis
Alicent and Rhaenyra now have matching scars
So the Kingsguards who tried to protect Alicent & Helaena are sentenced to the Wall? Yeah that won’t go down well
Shouldn’t Larys & Wylde think of a Velaryon? The families intermarried a lot so there's Targ blood there
Dragonstone
Jace & Baela's looks to one another
Rhaenyra talking about bastards not having honor after birthing 3 🙄
Think Rhaenyra! This will make things harder for Jace and Joffrey
A Corlys-Addam interaction!
Addam just wanted to be recognized by his dad
Harrenhal
"My king"?
Oscar's so done with Daemon's BS
I wish we could've had the Riverlands from the book where they mustered an army without the Tullys simply for fighting in the side of Viserys' little girl
He's got guts
Why are they meeting in the godswood? Why not a council room?
More of the Blackwood-Bracken feud?
I’m not sure I like this weird tension between Daemon & Willem Blackwood
What did he do against the Brackens?
Don’t remember reading about his execution
More Viserys hallucinations! Yay (not)
But no one can deny Paddy's skill on this role
King's Landing
Poor Aegon
Isn’t it too soon for him to be up?
I take back my words about the burns
My guess is Larys wants to make himself indispensable to Aegon, more so now that he's injured
Ok no. So now the Grand Maester is taking Larys' orders?
Driftmark
The closest we’ll get to Corlys saying he knows they're his sons
"I am salt and sea" —> foreshadowing for him being the Lord of the Tides
The Vale
Little Aegon and Viserys
Did Joffrey stay in the Vale?
And there goes Rhaena abandoning her brothers
This will come back to haunt her
Kingswood
Oh so that's Rickard Thorne
Gosh I’m in love with Alicent's hair
Dragonstone
Ok so Jace is worried about Mysaria's influence
Jace predicting the future
Poor guy is having an existential crisis rn
The parallels — Rhaenyra asking Viserys to protect her claim and now Jace asking the same of Rhaenyra
Honestly, Jace is right and when I read F&B I never thought of the dragonseeds weakening his claim
King’s Landing
Elinda!
She shouldn’t be wearing red. That doesn’t help her blend in
Ulf doesn’t seem sure of the idea
We finally have a name for Hugh's wife
So he's Saera's
She's smart
Kingswood
Once again, the stills
Love the imagery
Dragonstone
With all the closeups, I wish we had the purple and lilac contacts
Ok so the Dragonkeepers are out
Not the most inspirational pep talk
Hope we’ll finally get close ups to Vermithor and Silverwing
Let's see who dies trying to claim him before Hugh
Will Mysaria try?
Wait so she's leaving them?
Ok ok, she's watching from a balcony
And we have our first victims
Once again, Rhaenyra's horror-stricken face
I guess Silverwing will claim Ulf also
After all that, Hugh will still try? Well, it might be his best bet
That girl looks a bit like Helaena
Vermithor: you smell like Saera. I guess you're alright
Ulf: I just want to get out of the caves
Oops he just disturbed the eggs
Ok I expected Silverwing to be a lot paler
She's playing with him 🤣
King's Landing
Aemond couldn’t be more bored with the council
Silverwing's just happy to be in Alysanne's city again
And Aemond will go after them on Vhagar
Honestly now that we're seeing the other dragons, it's clear that Vhagar was made to be ugly in the show
Dragonstone
Why does Vermithor look red?
Well, at least Rhaenyra looks like a dragon queen

Rhaenyra, your Viserys is showing - your focus on the now is mayhap damaging your children's future.
I know it's hard breaking generational trauma, but please? For me? 🥺💖
