    As the book was all third party accounts, no one else was up there with them to know what really happened. I think the showrunners' decision to make it a bullying session gone wrong was more interesting and definitely in line with Aemond's character.
  • I felt extreme sadness looking at Luke in the sky looking at the clouds.. I felt like for a moment everything was clear. Above the throne, there is peace. There is hope. But in these stories vengeance rears its ugly head and consumes our future represented by young Luke. Broke my heart instantly
  • @a_ec
    one of the parts of luc and aemond's final flight that I found extremely interesting was the continued contrast between how rhenyra and alicent raised their children...they show this through how luc and aemond each speak to their dragons when things go sideways, with luc speaking calmly in valerian the entire time and aemond starts yelling in the common tongue instead. this shows so much more than just Luc's death, it shows that luc and Jace have both been prepared, educated and trained much more and have taken it more seriously than aemond and daemon who essentially were ignored and left to their own devices in large part....very cool way to continue to show this contrast through such nuance....
  • " The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion. They're a power man should never have trifled with. One that brought valyria its doom" - viserys targaryen.
  • @HokkaidoSan
    After seeing how they don't have 100% control of the dragons, it really puts into perspective how comfortable Daemon and Laena were together and showing their dragons off, specially when Vhager breathed fire and Caraxes didn't take that as an attack and started attacking Vhager in return.
  • I thought it was a great finale!! Rhaenyra showed incredible restraint, finding out about her dad, Aegon stealing the throne, on top of giving birth AGAIN. Then losing poor Luc, RIP little man. What a shit day she had. I wanted her to roast Otto on sight, but instead they showed her very much trying to channel Vizzy and keep the peace. Now the gloves are off and I don't blame her AT ALL.

    19:25 the link between the dragon and its rider was also shown in this very episode. When Rhaenyra is giving birth to Visenya, the editing multiple times shows Syrax sharing her agony.
  • I am sooooo proud of Rhaenyra's kind parenting. I feel like a Grandma who raised Rhae who is now raising her own kids. 😅
  • @KaoAsoni
    I am absolutely grieving right now 😢😢😢 RIP Luke!!!! This is the saddest episode I can't believe it's the season finale... they got the nerve to make us wait 2 years!!! Ugh
  • @RenegadeLK
    NGL when Luke started to walk back to Arrax I thought Vhagar was going to come in and either step on them or eat them. Can't believe Luke died he was soo brave. You could tell he was nervous about going. He then did his best to defend off his uncle then just gets chomped on. 😢
  • @elien9304
    Poor Rhaenyra. Emma D'Arcy deserves an emmy for this episode. Man, the ending scene of her being informed of Luke's death was as good as Catelyns final reaction at the Red Wedding. That woman screamed, and Rhaenyra just... did she scream? There was something going on there when Daemon brought the news. Did she scream? Had she trouble breathing? Did she have a terrible pain in her belly? You couldn't see what exactly it was, but you felt the raw emotions...
  • Small detail but I like that daemon seems to respect the dragon keepers over most others. Which is understandable, the Targs clearly have a tentative control over their dragons. And you got a long stick and big balls.
  • @503mama
    I love how details like subtle misinformation the characters get really fuels their emotions. Like when Daemon off the bat assumes Viserys was killed, he wants war instantly, it could of set off Rhaenyra too, but she’s level headed about the situation. The ending with Aemond looking shocked at what he did was brilliant, and really gives depth to the situation and makes it so realistic and complex like real life often is
  • @e3vL1
    Rhaenyra is going to go full John Wik after they killed her pup
  • @kawh8719
    I love how they have brought back the feeling the fans felt from GoT. This season has gone a long way in repairing the damage to the brand D&D did with the previous series. I hope they can keep up this level of competence!
  • @Chuck1lokin
    There has never been an ending needing less explanation. but im here for it.
  • @elnaturel3537
    WOW. WHAT A WAY TO SAVE A FRANCHISE. THE WAR TABLE WAS JUST WAS BEAUTIFUL.
  • @argentfox7564
    That funeral had me sad already then when he showed the crown i was bawling. I never thought Viserys would impact me this much. He is a parent, you always argue with them but when they are passed. You realize how hard they tried to protect you. That crown above all else really carried the weight of his passing :(
