House Of The Dragon Episode 3 FULL Breakdown and Game Of Thrones Easter Eggs

Welcome back everyone it's Charlie this will be  my Full House of the Dragon Episode 3 video there   were a whole bunch of Easter eggs and references  for Game of Thrones so we'll break it all down if   you're brand new to the channel I'm doing videos  for all the episodes be sure to subscribe to get   them careful for spoilers for the episode if  you haven't seen it yet we'll just start at   the beginning and work our way through shop by  shot talking about Easter eggs and WTF moments   starting with the beginning of the episode so the  title of the episode is called second of his name   it's a reference to Prince aegon the second he'll  become aegon II if he sits on the Iron Throne   eventually there's a lot of confusion over the way  they use this convention too like for instance Jon   Snow would have been called aegon the sixth if  he'd actually sat on the Iron Throne so right   now where he is on the show he's not considered  the successor even though all the Lords as we   learned during the episode just assume that aegon  will be eventually named the air and take the Iron   Throne when he comes of age so technically right  now aegon isn't called aegon the second he just   called Prince aegon when he takes the iron  tone or if he takes the Iron Throne that's   when he'll officially be called aegon the second  and that's why the title of the episode is sort   of foreshadowing for the future of the story and  the actual Dance of the Dragons this battle over   this succession but as predicted they did add  a little bit of new footage to the actual intro   scene they kind of did the same thing that they  did during the Game of Thrones original series   episodes on the Game of Thrones series because  they were using the map they would just show   the different locations that were featured during  each episode and that's how they would change the   intro but because the house the dragon intro  is like a model of old valyria done as their   family tree like the blood of old Valeria flowing  through all the sigils of the members in the line   of succession the extra thing they added for this  episode was like a little bloodline coming from   alicent because aegon has been born now obviously  she's pregnant with another child I'll mention   that in a second too but because the child hasn't  been born yet they might add another line when   the child is eventually born because the trailer  show us a bunch of footage of the older versions   of characters and there are a bunch more kids will  probably eventually see more lines coming out of   the different sigils the actual opening scene  is down in the stepstone sort of setting up the   whole War of the stepsons itself they explain it's  been a three your time Jump in-house velaryon men   Daemon's men are basically fighting a slow War of  Attrition even though they have their dragons and   that's a huge Advantage they've been fighting  a losing War over the past couple of years and   that's why they keep petitioning the crown for  support they don't do a very good job of showing   you during this episode because it's not like a  massive huge huge battle but the whole idea is   there's a triarchy vastly vastly outnumbered their  forces it was really the dragons that balanced   things out for them love that payoff scene with  Daemon coming in on caraxes and just roasting the   entire field we see kragus drejar feeding one  of their men to the crabs as they kept saying   during previous episodes crying out for the sea  snake and Daemon Targaryen who he said would come   to help him who kind of do but kind of do not at  the same time I think the whole idea what Daemon   crushing him with karaxi's is just an idea that  Daemon is there for himself like the whole idea   is that he's there to attain fortune and Glory the  thing Corliss used to sell him on the idea of the   campaign was seizing glory for himself and so far  because they've been fighting a losing battle he   hasn't found any Glory so it's just another way  to show you that even though Daemon yes wants to   get rid of the triarchy because the triarchy sucks  they're basically choking trade here in this area   Daemon is really here for selfish reasons they do  use this extended scene with cracksis to kind of   show you what it's like with a dragon in battle  it's like a cool Twist on the dragon battles that   makes fun of cragas drahar for being a bastard his  father for being a bastard it does make me wonder   if there was something special going on with  his bloodline like is he part of the Valyrian   bloodline somehow is he distantly related to the  targaryens there's a lot of theories on that but   they kind of go nowhere during the episode I  think the way they just set this up the whole   idea of second Sons is that they wanted to show  you that Daemon was searching for Glory to prove   himself because of the way that he's viewed in the  line of succession by the rest of the realm right   now in cragas drahar is trying to do the same  thing too so that's why crab feeder is leading   this Army trying to seize this area for himself he  does have grayscale and his mask is also a cobbled   together version of the sons of the harpy mask and  for those of you wondering because Daemon hauls   him out people are wondering if you're touching  someone who has grayscale does that mean that   Daemon now has grayscale too is that going to kill  him eventually I think if that had been the case   like if he'd actually contracted grayscale just by  touching him here they would have zoomed in on the   part of his body that was actually touching crab  feeder and I think he would have actually tried   to hide the fact that he was touching crab feeder  and because he didn't do that I think they're just   trying to tell us that no he did not get grayscale  then when we go back to King's Landing we find out   that aegon II is having his second birthday and  that's how much time has gone by like it's a three   year time Jump but that gives you enough time  for alicent and need to get remarried then for   her to have aegon and for him to have his second  birthday the person Otto Hightower is talking to   is his older brother Hobart Hightower the current  Lord Hightower down in Old Town right now and it's   just meant to set up the idea that pretty much  all the Lords of the realm just expect viserys   to eventually name aegon the air like oh well  of course the boy is going to sit on the Iron   Throne like all the Lords of the realm take it as  a foregone conclusion even though they just swore   fealty to rhaenyra being the heir the funny thing  about this is that George RR Martin said that   he based this event on something in real life  European history where a similar thing played   at where like a current King named his daughter  The Heir the Lords of the realm at the time and   this is happening in real life went along with it  within a little while after the king died and his   daughter was supposed to take the throne the rest  of the Lords got together and said you know what   we're going to pretend like we didn't do that  so a lot of what happens during the episode is   Princess Rhaenys being correct telling rhaenyra  in the previous episode basically nobody's gonna   go along with this no one is going to take you  seriously no no matter what you do and sure enough   even Jason Lannister who's courting her doesn't  think that she's going to be Queen we meet tyland   lannister Jason Lannister's twin informing  viserys about what's going on with the war   and the stepstones but obviously the connection  here the twins being the connection to Jamie and   Cersei being twins pretty sure they're not brother  wiving when he mentions Bloodstone that's just one   of the central areas of power inside the actual  stepstones right now in this part of the timeline   Thailand has become the current master of ships  in the small Council replacing corlys velaryon   who left obviously a couple years ago to start the  war the stepstones with Daemon it is cool to see   so much of House Lannister during this episode and  it's just a cool Twist on what the House Lannister   becomes later in the timeline when we see rhaenyra  she's back in the godswood reading that same type   of history book that she was reading earlier  reading about nymerian the 10 000 ships the song   the minstrel is playing is called the dragon's  eye it's meant to be kind of a lament like the   events of the song are basically a metaphor  for what will eventually happen in the future   head with her ships and her people her heart  broke the thing gives you a good idea what the   tensions are like between alicent and rhaenyra  like their relationship deteriorated quite a   bit over a couple years like she was betrayed  by the remarriage and now that the baby has   been born Prince aegon rhaenyra is on the outs  with her father and with alicent even though   both of them separately want to patch up their  relationships with her alicent is also very very   pregnant with her second child the second child  is a girl named Helena Targaryen because there's   going to be a year time Jump for episode three I'm  assuming we'll see that baby in episode three the   whole first half of the episode is pretty much  exclusively devoted to this hunt in the king's   wood and it gives you a lot of flashbacks for  Robert Baratheon in the Boris hunt that he went   on because there are a lot of similar moments that  kind of play off of what happened to Robert like   you have viserys drowning himself in his wine  Robert Baratheon was poisoned by Cersei or on   the command of Cersei with his wine slowly over  time and basically died because of the bore wound   rhaenyra almost dies because of a boar wound even  though someone isn't poisoning viserys like that's   not what's actually going on here his health is  just slowly deteriorating blame that on all the   sister wiving in their family speaking of which  if you notice he's wearing gloves that's because   he has a couple less digits on his hand remember  the maggots from last week's episode yep didn't   go so well they ended up having to take those  digits off you have to imagine if his health is   declining so quickly in the ensuing years what  it's going to be like in future episodes before   he passes away finally like when we see him in  next week's episode A year later he's probably   gonna be way worse part of the idea too with  him drinking all the wine I think is to numb   the pain like he just has this dull pain that  he's been living with with all the ailments all   over his body like even though he's covered we  don't see all of the ailments he's not drinking   just to get drunk or because he feels sorry  for himself he's drinking basically to numb   the actual physical pain that he's in we meet  a bunch of the other great houses during the   episode I already mentioned the Lannisters Kira  Lannister seems like their mother just based on   her age when she talks about lady Johanna being  captured she's talking about Johanna Swann who was   captured in the stepstones but her father here's  the funny thing because it's a big metaphor for   what's happening with rhaenyra Johanna Swann's  father refused to pay the ransom money so she was   basically just sold off to a pleasure house which  lady Lannister here implies is eventually going to   happen but the big twist is that Johanna after  her father refused to do anything to help her   basically became this incredibly powerful person  called The Black Swan in Lis so sort of an example   of this woman kind of cast off by her family  that nobody cares about but that made a name   for herself and became very powerful in her own  right and you can see the obvious connection to   what's happening with rhaenyra during this episode  like she feels like her father doesn't care about   her like oh you just can't wait to get rid of me  and then by the end of the episode finding this   resolve like in her station and becoming the heir  to the Iron Throne also Johanna eventually called   The Black Swan eventually rhaenyra is called  The Black Queen We Meet the rest of how strong   important characters going forward Lionel strong  the head of their household is the master of laws   right right now the sun with the walking cane  is hilarious strong he's called Laris the club   foot he was just born with a club foot obviously  as the name implies we meet his other son Harwin   strong who's very healthy and part of Daemon's  gold cloaks later in the episode as well he is   the one that kind of looks at rhaenyra like hey  hey what's going on viserys jokes about rhaenyra   marrying his son Harwin strong that'll be a big  thing in the future I don't want to get too far   ahead of this story we'll talk about that when  it actually happens because things do get pretty   spicy but like a lot of the people that they  mention here during this episode become much   bigger characters in future episodes but the other  big thing during this first half of the episode is   viserys forcing rhaenyra to get married but trying  to find the best way to do that with a little bit   of help from alicent like you have to make her  feel like she's the one making the choice which   they pay off at the end of the episode like  okay fine strengthen your claim to the Iron   Throne choose whoever you want to but you do have  to choose someone they did have that funny moment   with Jason Lannister like he was trying to spit  some game at her just completely shut him down   why would we need a dragon pit at the rock that  was meant to set up the idea that he expected   that she would not be Queen so she would be taking  her dragon to the rock where they would live they   said that the history the special ceremony of this  white staglands are supposedly going to kill and   it's going to be this big portent of right to  rule this sign of royalty what they basically   tell him is that they used to do this use this  as a symbol for a right to rule before the time   of aegon the Conqueror and in this area where  they're at here it was ruled by Harren Hoare   who is the person who built Harrenhal that's why  it's called Harrenhall maybe we'll get some of the   history of Westeros from before Aegon's Conquest  later in the series too it is cool to get those   little history lessons here and there Criston Cole  chases rhaenyra into the Kingswood sort of setting   up their relationship being a little bit closer he  claims that she's responsible for him making it on   the kingsguard like making his dream a reality  so he owes her everything you can clearly see   she has this huge crush on him probably not going  to end well for either of them also don't want to   get too far ahead of the story because obviously  he's a big character going forward when Rainier   suggests that her father can worry himself to  death the funny thing is this kind of what's   actually happening right now like he's slowly kind  of worrying himself to death even though he's not   dying of worry he's just dying of his ailments  over time slowly be careful what you wish for in   the cool moment of foreshadowing is when Criston  Cole says that the realm will accept her as Queen   because they won't have a choice obviously during  the dance of the Dragons they will have a choice   because of aegon II then they have that callback  moment to Robert Baratheon versus the boar where   rhaenyra almost gets killed by her boar but he  saves her and then she just goes to town on it   you could also look at the imagery of her being  covered in blood and then surveying everything   in the Lords of the realm from above here being  sort of a metaphor for what's going to happen   during the dance of the dragons and I think  the whole idea with the brown stag versus the   white stack is that if her father viserys had  seen the white stag and killed the white stag   that would have been a symbol to him that he  needed to name aegon the heir instead of his   daughter rhaeynra but because he doesn't see the  white tag it isn't seen as a sign of a right to   rule so he doesn't change his mind rhaenyra is  still the heir at least currently hammered home   by the idea that rhaenyra herself actually does  see the white stag like she sees this right to   rule and lets it Go free so this message just  crystallized her path forward for her she has   a much better idea of how she's going to tackle  everything going forward which is why when she   walks back into Camp she basically doesn't bother  looking at anyone who's staring at her covered in   blood really cool lore Easter egg here too when  viserys is getting drunk arguing with alicent   here about whether or not he made the right choice  in making rhaenyra the air over aegon II he says   that few in their family line have been dreamers  he's talking about Dragon dreams being born with   the ability to see visions of the future like  danis the dreamer Daenerys also had Visions in   the house and the undying those were kind of like  her Dragon dreams Dragon dreams are just a way of   describing having visions of the future there are  many characters on Game of Thrones that do that   in several different ways like bran has visions of  the future because he's one of the last greenseers   Melisandre also claims that she does the same  thing has visions of the future by staring into   the Flames getting the Visions from the Red God  when alicent's father Otto says that her son aegon   is going to be king one way or another like the  end of the road is clear despite what you want   to happen even though she wants to be friends  with bernera he's basically telling her the   realm wants aegon as the next king they'll never  accept rhaenyra just highlighting how things are   spinning out of control like they're headed on  this Collision Course and nobody really sees   a way out of it their whole conversation over  who has the stronger claim to the Iron Throne   is literally what happens during the dance of the  Dragons itself with half the realm and the greens   believing that rhaenyra is trying to steal the  Iron Throne from aegon II because it should be   his by right and the other half of the realm  thinking the aegon is usurping the throne from   rhaenyra because the king already named her  his successor alicent also sets up the idea   of rhaenyra choosing someone herself and setting  up the idea of her marrying laenor velaryon which   Lionel strong was talking to viserys about like  have her Mary laner he is a pure valerian blood   it'll strengthen the bloodline and solve a whole  bunch of problems for you because there's this   huge riff with house velaryon because he basically  threw them onto the bus when he decided to marry   alicent he needs to heal that and there's all  these problems that he has with rhaenyra trying   to figure out who she's going to get married to  so all he needs to do is have her decide to marry   laenor velaryon and make it think that it's her  choice we only get a little bit of him in this   episode so I won't talk about him too much other  than him being one of the other Dragon Riders but   there's this last moment that he has with rhaenyra  when she comes into the room and he talks about   her deciding for herself like you need to pick  a husband but you do have to pick one sooner   or later when he says he's wavered before but he  won't do it again he's talking about the bastard   that he supposedly had there's a rumor that he had  a bastard named Tristan truefire they might wind   up introducing that character later in the series  but then we actually go down to the stepstones to   dwarf Stone the place that they were talking about  like send support to dwarfstone that's the place   where they are basically in this edit the whole  idea that they are on their last legs like we're   only gonna last for a little while longer even  though we call for more ships from house velaryon   they're not going to get here for weeks I think  the whole idea is they want to show you that the   king's support was already on its way when the  letter arrived so it gets there just in time but   also Daemon's Gambit works out and they're able  to take care of crap eater and most of his forces   by the time the rest of the support gets there we  meet corlys velaryon's oldest son laenor for the   first time and his younger brother veamond this  is corlys' younger brother in the books he was   his nephew so they just kind of changed that for  the show this whole scene with veamond trying to   throw Daemon under the bus is just trying to set  up the future of their relationship together like   it's going to be very contentious it's not like  they become best friends after this or anything   like that like this sentiment between the two  of them continues the whole reason why Daemon   attacks the messenger who's doing nothing more  than just giving him the message to say that the   king is going to send them support so that they  won't die is because Daemon feels like a failure   and he feels like he can't go home so to speak  as a failure the whole idea behind this entire   campaign in his mind was yes like they got to get  rid of the triarchy and crab feeder but really he   was doing it to attain all this glory in the eyes  of the rest of the realm to prove his Worth to   the rest of the Lords basically and the whole  thing with Daemon trying to kill crap eater by   pretending to Forfeit under the white flag of  submission the way the showrunner the way that   Matt Smith talked about it is that it was sort  of like a last-ditch attempt on his part look I   want to show you how Daemon can think on his feet  he's really good in a fight but they're also kind   of playing it as if he doesn't care whether or not  he dies so a lot of the way that he fights during   this battle is meant to inform a lot of the battle  choices that he makes during the actual Dance   of the Dragons war the actual battle scene was  actually pretty cool with him attacking all the   soldiers by himself in the way they sort of played  it so that he distracted all the triarchy's forces   so that they weren't paying attention to what  the rest of House of velaryon was doing their   army basically coming up on the beachhead and what  the dragons were doing he basically pulled all the   triarchy's forces here into this tight little area  making it way easier for laner to roast them with   sea smoke in relatively speaking sea smoke is a  little bit smaller than caraxis but still pretty   large Dragon but overall not one of the bigger  dragons and that's mostly just because sea smoke   is younger than the other dragons we haven't seen  the older version of the character yet but laena   velaryon would also be a teenager at this point  you see her in the background of these trailer   shots here she's also a dragon rider as well  I don't want to talk too much about her though   before they actually introduce the older version  of the character she'll be a lot of fun in the   future like the older version of her character  is a lot of fun R.I.P to crabfeeder was hoping   we'd learn some secret about him maybe some secret  Targaryen bloodline or Valyrian bloodline in there   nope looks like they're going a different way with  that but I think the whole idea with this battle   is that Daemon proves to himself and to everyone  else that he is worthy one of the things that they   set up at the beginning of the episode though  between Daemon and his dragon karaxi is that   they kind of pay off a little bit in the end of  the episode is the whole idea that the dragon is   so closely bonded to him on this kind of psychic  level that it feels the wounds that he gets just   the same as he does so like at the beginning of  the episode when he gets hit with the arrow karaxi   is screwing teams out in pain and during the final  battle he's hit with a couple arrows you can hear   dragon cries in the background even though they  cut a lot of the audio out so you don't hear them   quite as clearly you could also make a lot of  little finger jokes during his plan of attack   here like chaos is a ladder Daemon using a lot of  the chaos and the surprise here to try and kill as   many people as possible as he gets to craft feeder  to get him but if there's any other Easter eggs   and references that you spotted during the episode  that I didn't mention during the video just write   down below in the comments and what will happen is  I'll post my episode 4 trailer video next and then   I have a couple big bonus videos planned this week  too everyone click here for that episode 4 trailer   video I'll update the link as soon as I post that  and click here for all my house of the dragon   videos thank you so much for watching everyone  stay safe and I'll see you guys in the next one!
