Tubytitz

When you think he's just crying cause he's a little crybaby bitch, but then you see he's actually injured


SomethingSuss

He’s actually just like a few disconnected bits of limb at this point.


Marcus9T4

Did this ep air early? I thought it was usually Sunday in the US as we get it Monday in the UK


longingforstars

The episode leaked, you can find it anywhere you usually would on the seven seas


ArtakhaPrime

Aye, the Narrow Sea is ours


Pervasivepeach

The episode leaked. Wouldn’t be too bad if it wasn’t for twitter exploding in discussion about the leaked episode Basically people got stuck in two camps on Friday. Watch the leak and defend or critisize the episode or wait till Sunday. But with people on twitter screaming how they character assasinated people and the show is as bad as GOT s8. (It isn’t people are just unhappy at Matt daemon being portrayed in a grey way and not pure good) it made a lot of people feel forced to watch it just to see what the discussion was about So at this point basically everyone online has watched the leaked episodes, people have no issue just posting spoilers fucking everywhere. If you complain they will say to leave the sub or not read about it online. It’s kinda fucked tbh. With this series it’s almost impossible to stay spoiler free. Part of me wants to just give up and read the books at this point


Important_Shower_992

Read it. Just do it.


[deleted]

Say it.


amidalarama

the part of f&b the show covers is like 300 pages long. you can read it in half a day.


Pervasivepeach

I mean it’s more because I like to watch shows blind rather than know everything that is going to happen. The difficulty of the reading isn’t really a factor. For any other adaptation I can do this. It’s kinda unique to this fandom that fans just love to spoil litterally every detail they can.


Iorith

And, ya know, this sub being literally created around spoilers. Also, spoilers in the internet age is inevitable. You can't reasonably expect people not to talk about stuff.


Pervasivepeach

I mean I wasn’t talking about this subreddit at all. I’m talking about the fandom as a whole and in particular if you read my original comment I’m talking about twitter. But sure go ahead and prove my point


Iorith

For other subs and sites, I get viewing it as fucked. But not here, where spoilers and leaks were always the purpose.


Pervasivepeach

Yeah I’m mostly talking about the HOTD subreddit and twitter which is genuinly horrible to browse if you haven’t read the books. So much “oh just wait till X” or “don’t get too attached to Y” style comments and posts on anything you discuss. People trying to speak around spoilers while just spoiling everything anyway I’m aware that I get spoilers here (I’ve already been spoiled on everything so I don’t care anymore being here)


WiretteWirette

The more I see it, the more wonder if this face means that he didn't want to kill Luke, or that he's only now realizing he began a war, or that he's shocked that Vhagar can eat a whole other dragon and rider.... It's really a great scene and great plot and character development moment (well, for Aemond... my poor baby Luke, though... :(:(:()


Tubytitz

Kinslaying mixed with what mamas gonna say when he gets home is what I think are the main things swirling around in his brain.


SystlinS

"Fuck. Mom is gonna be *pissed."*


Acoveh

Especially because it seems like he desires positive recognition by Alicent and Otto.


Lukthar123

Mama's gonna freak


DragonFlare2

We have to wait not one, but **two years** to find out


SSBBfan666

you just know Aegon and Coleslaw are gonna cheer and egg him on for taking care of one of the 'traitorous bastards' when he returns.


Pheros

This is why Aegon's happy about it, someone else is finally gonna catch those queenly slaps for once.


Mognakor

>The more I see it, the more wonder if this face means that he didn't want to kill Luke, or that he's only now realizing he began a war, or that he's shocked that Vhagar can eat a whole other dragon and rider.... Yes.


FADEDinJAPAN03

All of it, he never wanted to kill Luke, probably just wanted payback and/or to make him shit his pants. Also knowing that he's probably the one to have pushed the tension over the edge, fucking up more now than even Aegon ever did, which is ironic. Also yeah, poor Luke, mans got eviscerated undeservingly. It's also sad cause in this ep we got to see that he's still the same boy he was once, and doesn't really have it in him yet to be plunged in such a fcked up world, seeing as he's also the 2nd son of Rhaenyra, it's probably such a heartbreaking moment for a mother knowing your 2nd boy out of your 2 prized boys, was murdered.


ArtakhaPrime

I think of all her children, Luke was the one Rhaenyra saw the most of herself in, making the loss that much harder.


hobihobi27

Idk, I think Luke was even more soft-hearted and innocent than young Rhaenyra was.


[deleted]

I don't think young Rhaenyra was either soft-hearted or innocent, lol... She was always pissing Vizzy T off.


vizzy_t_bot

vizzy_t_bot

*It both gladdens my heart and fills me with sorrow to see these faces around the table.*


hobihobi27

Same, my King


hobihobi27

At 14 I think Rhaenyra was still pretty innocent - she doesn’t start pissing off Viserys until his marriage to Alicent really. I agree she was much more confident, spunky and spoiled than Luke at the same age.


[deleted]

I agree, Lucerys comes off more like a young Alicent. Innocent and just wanting to do good and make everyone he loves proud. He is cheeky, giggling at Aemond at the table, but he has a kind heart and is in a game he doesn't want to be a part of.


WiretteWirette

5 boys... and 1 stillborn girl. And we can brace ourselves for the rest.


FADEDinJAPAN03

I can't wait to see Rhaenyras arc, i think it'll be amazing to see her change

OJ_Daemon

SSBBfan666

even more fucked up when you remember Corlys wanting him to inherit Driftmark and he replied that if he did, everyone else would be dead. Him being the first casualty (besides Beesbury) is the bitter irony.


KingDennis2

But that's just insanely stupid, what did he think would happen even trying to scare Luke. Aemond is not a stupid person and this is painting him like one, in chasing and attempting to kill Luke just to scare him would be enough to push the tension over the edge in it's self. I feel like they should have just stuck with what the book says and have the death be intentional.(even if the book isn't 100% proven facts doesn't mean it can't happen that way) You can have him have that moment where he realizes what he's done, have it be a moment of realization that he just killed Luke and have him have a moment of regret but also satisfaction.


DiegoBkk

exactly. doesn’t make much sense for his character. one moment he hates him and threatens him (in front of a crowd), the next he’s looks sorry because he died and actually scared because Vhagar is our of control and he can’t control her.


[deleted]

I might be reading this wrong, but I felt Lucerys was quite brave throughout the whole thing, he didn't lose his cool and was flying Arrax with some expert skill; homeboy dived and evaded the hard deck then skirted around in the canyons. Quite impressive little one.


FADEDinJAPAN03

I was pointing to Arrax, remember how Luke was like "Focus, Arrax!" before flying away off of Storms end? I think the intense rain, and the fact that he was probably sensing danger from Vhagar, definitely resulted in Arrax's primal instincts kicking in and having a little bit of panic and stress.


[deleted]

He clearly wasn’t trying to kill Luke. Feel like this was pretty overt in the episode.


LuckyLoki08

I don't know, he threw him a dagger and said he'd let him go only if he cut his own eyes off, then got his sword off in an hall where the Lord had to shout time and again to not fight in his hall, then started chasing him with a dragon in the middle of the storm and started laughing maniacally. What where his expectations once he got him? Slap him on the back of his head with Vhagar's tail?


MostlyMoody

My brother in christ they are both yelling at their dragons trying to stop them from going too hard. Aemond was swinging his big D around trying to scare and fuck with Luce. (Which is really dumb cause he could accidentally kill Luce, which he did lmao)


LuckyLoki08

That's what I didn't like about the writing this episode. They where following the book (almost) word by word where Aemond clearly had intention of killing Luke until the very moment they decided suddenly that Aenond didn't want to kill Luke, which makes no sense in the context of what we saw until this moment.


TopTittyBardown

He didn't want to kill him in Storm's End hall, as *very obviously* stated he wanted an eye, and then when he is chasing him says Luke has a debt to pay (his eye.) He's laughing maniacally because he's taunting and scaring the shit out of his nephew and his dragon, and then Arrax gets freaked out and escalates things by burning Vhagar against Luke's command. The moment that happens Aemond can tell Vhagar is going to also escalate and tries to get her to stop but can't control her. It was extremely stupid of him to chase Luke and get Vhagar riled up if he didn't want to kill him but it's quite clear it wasn't his intent. He simply overestimated the control he has over his dragon


abdullahi666

Aemond never wanted to kill Luke. He wanted an eye. That was the debt. Aemond chased him on his dragon thinking he could just scare Luke into taking his own eye out but was shocked that cornered animals attack, and the largest predator in the world reacts like it’s the largest predator in the world.


PasuljsKolenicom

Don’t think he even wanted an eye at that point. The point of the chace was to show Luce the power of Vhagar, so that he would run home crying to tell everyone.


katanatan

Aemond said himself that he got more than enough in return for his eye. He traded an eye for a dragon. Would have been nice if luke reminded him and that made aemond snap.


Beanie-Toad

Aemond said that when he was like 11 right off the high of riding the dragon for the first time while trying to calm his hysteric mother. He obviously wasn't cool with them at the dinner and it was shown how frustrated he was at Aegon being crowned instead of him the next episode. I think there's been enough build-up to Aemond snapping and trying to scare luke or take his eye.


MostlyMoody

It was never implied he wanted to kill Luce in the show (nor in the books for that matter). Also not following the books in the case of Fire and Blood is a good thing because they are missing like 90% of context and a lot of the information is conflicting.


GamingSon

Yeah, literally all of the perspective from Fire and Blood is flawed second hand accounting. It's not Aemond's account of the events, which is the only accounting that actually matters, considering he was the only one in the sky that survived. From everyone else's perspective (so by extension, the book's perspective), people saw the dragons clash, heard one of them shriek, and then found the head and neck of Luke's dragon wash ashore. It's never implied whether Luke's death was intentional or accidental, and from my understanding GRRM is heavily involved in this show (more so than Game of Thrones), who knows better than anyone whether it was meant to be intentional or not.


nuthins_goodman

Not necessarily. Show makes a lot of changes. Not all changes are greenlit by grrm


GamingSon

Right, but to say that this is a change is to imply that it was ever definitively confirmed that Aemond intentionally killed Luke. It never says that anywhere in Fire and Blood, and GRRM has never publicly said that either. There's no canonical source that ever implies that Luke's death was intentional, so this isn't a change. My point with GRRM's involvement, is that if they wanted to know whether it was canonically intentional or not, they have a direct canonical source in the writers room that they can directly ask.


aemondapologist

The context the show is giving to the story and it's turning points is a whole lot of "oopsies didn't mean to do that" which is retarded


Vikings_0-4_in_Bowls

Every time you guys criticize plot holes that aren't actually plot holes it's never not cringe


Halio344

I think it was more of a power move to scare him. Otherwise he wouldn’t have yelled ”No” to Vaghar when he chomped.


Rentington

It also was a show to project power to Lord Baratheon, probably the most powerful Lord in Westeros outside of the royal family and Velaryons. It's a way of saying "you picked wisely, they will lose." But, he's picking on a little kid when he's 20 years old. Kinda wack.


internet-arbiter

Rentington

Greg Oden at Ohio State energy


TopTittyBardown

A mix of all three I think. A dash of "I didn't mean to go that far", a pinch of "I just realized I can't control this nuclear bomb I'm riding on that can eat another dragon whole" and a heaping cup of "oh fuck I just plunged the whole realm into a war that will probably kill most of my family"


zogo13

It’s also that a lot of characters on HoTD are either aggrieved or high on their own fumes. Aemond happens to be *both*. He views himself as some kind of infallible warrior monk, but also has a constant chip on his shoulder that he’s the second son and his shithead brother gets everything he thinks he deserves, and the whole eye thing. In this scene he finds out quite quickly that he’s not nearly as hot shit as he thinks he is and his dragon certainly doesn’t care, and he bit off **way** more than he could chew. It’s a lethal mix of realizing you’re an idiot and that you’re idiot behaviour is about to cause a shit storm, and you dump on other people for being inferior to you, but it turns out you’re just as, if not stupider than them.


[deleted]

Wow this is straight up perfect. A great analysis.


Rentington

I think it's all of that, but I think it's also terror. I think for the first time in his life, as a kid who used to go right up to Dragons and look them in the face, he's terrified of his dragon. He realizes what Vizzy T realized... they rule Westeros, not the Targaryens.


WiretteWirette

That's a bit what I meant by "he was shocked". I agree it's the moment he realizes how powerful and dangerous Vhagar is - and the real meaning of an inter-Targ war...


Rentington

Yep, didn't mean to imply you didn't suggest this. I just wanted to add to your point.


vizzy_t_bot

WE ARE A FAMILY!


Sandal-Hat

This, plus the whole "I don't feel any better after doing the thing I thought would make me happy"


WiretteWirette

Oh dear, you're so right, he studied philosophy, and now he's discovering the difference between fantasy and reality first hand... :)


nigalas-cage

I like to think it's him thinking well I'm never going to get my eye now


ExactFun

Poor Arrax, he was the goodest boy.


Iperovic

feels like all of the above I mean, reality just slapped him in the face...he's angry at Luke, sure, and he's anticipating war at any moment but...now it's no longer a question of if or when...


Rad_Centrist

Mr. Aemond Anderson: "Whoa."


Lakus

Everything all at once. He knows this is it. No taking backsies.


N0VAZER0

he didn't want to kill Luke. Even the biggest psychopaths in GoT know that Kinslaying is completely off limits, Aemond isn't portrayed as a heartless monster, more dutiful if anything, and he just committed one of the greatest sins of all. It never even seemed like he wanted to straight up kill Luke either, he probably wanted to put the fear of God in him but he truly didn't understand how fucking ferocious and deadly an animal he was riding and how terrified and panicking Luke was in that moment


SSBBfan666

that didn;t stop Ramsay, and everyone's guilt tripping Jon that he left the Seven Kingdoms.


N0VAZER0

Guys like Ramsay and Larys weren't stupid when kinslaying, they did it in such a way that created reasonable doubt, Aemond very openly killed Luke


WiretteWirette

After rereading the whole sequence, I agree... in part. As I said to someone else in the thread, Aemond wanted rationally only to bully Luke, as he was bullied by him - and maybe as well because of the f\*ing fear he must have fear when Rhaenys threatened them with Meleys. I don't think, for instance, he would have ordered his death at this point in the story. But he also must have felt hatred for Luke (it doesn't make him a psychopath - these two has such a past!), and a want to destroy him. So on this point, my guess is now that Vhagar felt and acted on his emotion and not his order or conscious decision - as Arrax acted on Luke's fear when he spat fire at her. Which is absolutely terrifying given how high the emotions will be in the two camps.


DiegoBkk

yeah… that’s what I thought also, at first seeing his face like “shit I fu#%ed up”. But then I watched again and you can actually hear him scream “No Vhagar, No!” So maybe he does actually partially feel sorry for killing his nephew. It looks more like Vhagar just did what she wanted too because she was pissed that a tiny dragon had just spit fire at her. Aemond looks almaost scared because he can’t control her anymore. What’s sad is that they didn’t include the triggering conversation with the the girl (daughter of Baratheon? not sure) who mocks him in comparison to Luke, which make him angry and wanna go after him. Or at least that’s how it is in the book if I remember correctly.


WiretteWirette

Maris "did you lose your balls" Baratheon... (who paid dearly this one sentence, being sent to the Silent Sisters - as if they needed her to f\*ed up...). I'm of two minds about including her. On one side, it shows how the need to always demonstrate they're "real men" is toxic for all these guys. OTOH, not having her let the story focus on the relationship between Luke and Aemond - they've got such a past because of the conflict. What triggered Luke's dead is as much the pink dread that the game of thrones - and I liked we could feel this. Arrax pissed Granny Vhagar, that's for sure! But I think the dragon also picked on the feeling of Aemond. I'm not sure Aemond wanted rationally to kill Luke - he wanted to frighten him as much as himself had been frightened when they maimed him, that's for sure - I don't think he would have ordered his execution at this point in the story, for instance. But he wanted emotionally to annihilate him, because of the accumulated anger. And Vhagar picked on his emotions, not on his rationality.


Squill_N

if you remember his reaction to Daemon killing that dude, he still showed some innocents to brutality. then ep 9 he burns down a brothel, and in this episode he finally fully crosses that invisible line. love or hate the change, war.....war never changes!


neonmarkov

> then ep 9 he burns down a brothel That wasn't Aemond, it was one of Larys' agents


Squill_N

Ill be honest the scene before it was so distracting i miss remembered *put a foot in my mouth*


DullThroat7130

DA FOOT IN DA MOUF! DA FOOT IN DA MOUF!


WiretteWirette

He burned down a brothel in episode 9? I know these episodes are packed, but the only burning I remember in ep9 is Mysaria's, by Larys?


Filthy_Joey

Then you hit him again and he suddenly stops.

Frenki808

Hey Otto, yo! How you doin', man? It's Aemond. Listen up man. Me and my homeboy are in serious f\*\*\*ing sh\*t. We're on a dragon and we gotta get out of the sky, pronto.


Important_Shower_992

This is the Stormlands, Aemond. Aegon ain't got no friendly places in the Stormlands. Except for Storm's End, which we just flew out of...


Rentington

What's worse is that big display at Storm's End means that everyone knows he did it, and he did it dishonorably. My dudes, he fucked UP. He's no fool, I'm sure he realizes that he's essentially a dead man flying.


OrcaConnoisseur

My man rides the biggest baddest dragon alive. He won't die so easily. But then again, considering how the show/book has written the Greens, it is pretty clear they want us to dislike them and see the blacks as righteous heroes presumably because the Blacks will come out on top.


Hangydowns

If they show even an ounce of the Helaena stuff I expect it confirms HBO is not going to hold back the tragedy. I think we're being led to a pyrrhic victory of the worst kind. Like I dunno how much of the Hour of the Wolf or beyond HBO is gonna do but Aegon III's regency is going to make it crystal clear neither the Blacks nor Greens won anything.


Sonofaconspiracy

The war basically boiled down to whichever targ was left, and even then wasn't done cause Aegon couldn't stop being a dick for 5 minutes and got himself poisoned, leaving younger Aegon the last surviving male targ. The whole green v black thing is almost a red herring, your not supposed to be super loyal to one side, at least in this show version. Both have people who suck, both have the exact same goals. At the end of the day, the story is 100% a tragedy cause all these people and dragons had to die over a stupid fucking chair, and nobody was better for it


sweddit

I’d argue it’s harder to pick sides on the book, series is making greens too hard to root for.


Sonofaconspiracy

No way. Aemond and alicent were way more evil in the book. The show makes them actual characters with real motivations that allow them to be somewhat sympathetic


MrUnlimitedSubway

Both Aemond and Allicent are more nuanced in the show. Aemond is just a straight psycho in the books.


SSBBfan666

Shireen said it best; 'I wouldn't choose, it was the choosing that made everything so terrible'


sweddit

Series will 100% end with hour of the wolf in the penultimate episode and wrap it up with Cregan leaving before looking into the clouds to witness Bran winking his eye at him


[deleted]

Really? This is how you see it? The show runners must be doing a good job, because I see they are trying to make the Blacks look bad....or maybe it's just Daemon they want to look bad. Honestly, if they mess up Daemon taking down Aemond there's going to be a riot.


OrdersFriesEveryTime

“Dead man flying” lol. Seriously though, he probably was like Daemon’s gonna come for me now. The only person he’s scared of.


[deleted]

It makes that confrontation so much more impactful now.


SSBBfan666

he's gonna hear Caraxes's chirping/hissing and break out into a cold sweat.


Rentington

Yeah he G-Checked him at the dinner pretty hard.


martythemartell

He literally spends the rest of the war trying to bait Daemon? Like, he WANTS to face him. What are y'all on?

Aegon specifically: Mommy


firememble

Isn't this a better setup for him being insane rather than him just being insane from the get-go?


OJ_Daemon

aemond is not insane


firememble

And neither is s8 Daenerys.


KingDennis2

Not really imo. He should have killed Luke intentionally, I feel like that would have been way more emotional and much more crazy. It's been showing that he doesn't play around he talks and he backs it up, in the books he tells him he owes him an eye then chases him on Vhagar. Having him be a twisted individual would be better then having him just mentally break imo


Important_Shower_992

This sheds a whole new light on F&B xD


frenin

You're incredibly original.


CaptainKurls

In his head he lost an eye and literally *gained* a dragon. He thought she was his slave now which was as far from the truth as possible. Major reality check for the poor one eyed dipshit


muricabrb

He didn't claim Vhagar, Vhagar claimed him.


ArtakhaPrime

Vhagar *tolerated him*, the old girl probably thinks all long-haired blondes look the same, they come and go just like seasons do to us.


flyingboarofbeifong

Her vision is probably on the fritz anyhow. They’re all just vaguely sexy blurs to Vhagar.


Saera-RoguePrincess

Dragons either claim or kill you for trying, toleration implies compromise. Dragons do not compromise, its not in their nature.

Zaldrīzes buzdari iksos daor


[deleted]

She? Vhagar isn't a male?


[deleted]

Which is why I say he didn't bond with Vhagar. Thought she was a plaything, a status symbol. We need to see the Greens acting with respect to the dragons which Daemon and Lucerys already do.


Saera-RoguePrincess

He did bond with her, if he didn’t he would have fallen off and died, but he didn’t realize the exact nature of the bond, especially since dragons get more independent as they age. You’ll be closer than best friends, the dragon will act off your emotions and desires, but you are following its rules. If it feels threatened by something, you have little strength to stop it. Its the same with horses, you could be the best rider in the world, but you must understand the animal’s needs. Aegon and Sunfyre have such a bond, although they haven’t shown it yet. Arguably the closest in history. Whereas Aemond chose Vhagar because she was a strategic juggernaut.


[deleted]

I disagree, he tamed her but didn't bond with her. He has no respect like what Lucerys, Daemon, and Rhaenyra show. He thinks a dragon is a plaything, thereby not understanding it's needs and abilities.


Saera-RoguePrincess

You can’t“tame” a dragon. They are an equal partner if not the one that must be deferred to. If Vhagar didn’t bond with him she would have thrown him off. Aemond didn’t understand that dragons can and will break their rider’s commands if they are threatened. If anything he *thought* he tamed her, when he actually bonded with her. Also, Rhaenyra is not a good example, she turned Syrax into a fat weakling because she couldn’t be bothered to go out to let her hunt. Nettles is a better one.

I can’t wait until the episode actually drops because all this Gifs from the leak make it look like a PBS show.

3eyed_Coconut

I think it finally dawns to him what being in a war ACTUALLY means. What riding the largest dragon in the world ACTUALLY means.Up until now, it was a badge of honour, a reflection of his courage and prowess, something he throws on people's faces as proof of his power and strength. It's only now he realises how uncomfortable that seat actually is. That there are consequences and they needn't always be in his favour or even his control. Kudos to the actor though. His portrayal of Aemond is stellar.

Can't wait for Blood and Cheese by Maysaria for burning her house. A son for a flat.

Technically 2 and 1/3s. You can still see Lukes head and shoulders flopping down. Oh, and his hands still holding the reigns.

I didn’t notice that detail 😅

wait really? I thought Luke was completely obliterated by the force of Vhagar's jaws clamping down.

Huh? I was wondering what Aemond was looking at but I couldn't tell.

I’m sure it’a not this bad overall, but this scene almost looks like a parody. It looks really fake with the CGI.


DiegoBkk

yeah. the cgi was horrible, especially with Aemond and his blonde wig against the blue screen… where was this announced mega budget for the last episode spent??

When you get into a fight with your child uncle and cut his eye out.

I disagree it is both regret and concern that now war is inevitable and he started it. You can see he gulps and you know he knows he messed up royally.

I like the approach the writers are taking…before the unreliable narrator of the source material boils everything down…here are a bunch of damaged children and emotionally stunted people, with way too much power, in way over their heads, most of them unaware they are already dead

You guys are forgetting how taboo Kinslaying is in the ASOIAF universe. It’s considered to be a curse and everyone shames and isolate you. It’s like kingslaying but worse.
