Nope....Lannisters are my favourite.... They are very clever and always move like Chess pieces....Intelligent characters.

Andy tee

"I find it so weird that she uses her left hand" Jackson's gonna lose his mind when he finds out left handed people exist 😅

Sara

I don't think hes disgusted by the fact that she's his sister it seems like he's just disgusted by her "freakishness" because she's a seer and speaks in riddles

kiiturii

fuck you mean? Birthing kids in this world is the wifes "job", they both wanted a son, there was no forcing. Also, the wife was dead no matter what, his choices were, attempt c-section and save the kid, or stand by until both die. There was no saving the wife, he had no choice. In fact, he begged the maester for a solution that saves his wife, he truly loved her.

Matis

i hope that there aren't actually any Joffrey stans out there cuz imma nuke this planet if there are

Chad-gon Targaryen

True except Aegon is disgusted by it and in the books it is Viserys who makes them wed.

Princess Zuma

They are a family of psychopaths 🤷🏽‍♀️ but still cool. But personally im forever 💚

Twuan

Correct lol they soooooo lost

Shreya

your in for a ride the politics and backstories and characters in GOT are so much more complex than HOD and how everything ties up is pretty insane

Nicole

PS no one is better than the Starks 😉

Nicole

Watching you guys watch this is so awesome! Your theories and discussions so good! You are in for such a fucking ride! This show is soooooo good! Watching HOTD is so different you see so many different houses and players in GOT where HOTD is black or green. It must be weird watching that first, besides Daenerys the Targaryens are gone. Like I said this show is a wild ass ride!

BreezyBri

First! Not third?! Yikes! 😳

Ayaulym🇰🇿

Actually it was the opposite for me. Being used to seeing 1 targaryen on screen and bunch of Starks and Lannisters, I hesitated to watch House of the Dragon. Especially considering how in GOT the fate of Rhaenyra and some of her kids WILL BE MENTIONED. So you basically had to watch house of the dragon knowing that house targaryen will eventually fail and what will happen to Rhaenyra

shadowwalker

I know, its crazy people think the one group of people who can ride/use dragons are cool. How dare they!

Faris Alamin

My parents are first cousins and I know a lot of asian/african families who are the same. It's really not that big a deal and is very common in a lot of cultures.

brittany beyerle

i absolutely love hearing all of the theories you guys have. oh, you sweet summer children, you have no idea and it's going to be an epic ride.

BreezyBri

I’m not reading all that… it’s a fictional TV show but this CLEARLY means a lot to you. My opinion still stands have a nice day 😂🤣

Chad-gon Targaryen

Seven hells I don’t think I’ve ever read a post with more logical fallacies than this one. No amount of ad hominems will ever make your point valid in anyway. You are creating a joke of a strawman argument by stating I am trying to say incest “isn’t that bad” when all I am stating is that there is levels to incest between historically accurate medieval marriages and a family that weds brother to sister to keep bloodlines pure. Using your logic, incidental manslaughter is equivalent to cold murder since both end up with a person dead. You are ignoring the motivations for the actions (incest) which are the most important thing to take into account. Comparing blood purity freaks like the Targaryen’s who only rival the nazis in their focus on blood preference to marriages based on European history incestous marriages of cousins/2nd cousins etc is being willfully ignorant. No amount of mudslinging or calling other people mentally ill will change the fact that you are trying to blur the lines between “realistic” medieval incest and flat out eugenicist brother/sister marriages. But please, keep labeling other patrons mentally ill for simply pointing out obvious logical flaws in your statement. You are drawing a false equivalency between two actions that couldn’t be further from each other in motivations. If you truly only wanted them to be free of other people’s opinions while watching, you wouldn’t so valiantly take up the cause of defending Targaryen incest in this comment section. And FYI, labeling people who disagree with you as mentally ill doesn’t make your argument any stronger. It just makes you come off as intellectually weak by resorting to name calling rather than letting your opinion stand on its own. If ANYTHING, you are the one trying to excuse Targaryen incest as not that bad by pointing fingers at other houses while not acknowledging the extreme differences in motivation between the two. Something something those in glass houses…

BreezyBri

Thanks!

BreezyBri

🤣😂🤣😂 omg you’re in too deep bro! Yes please continue on about how fucking your first/second cousin isn’t that bad 🫠 I’m starting to believe that people who support team green are mentally ill in real life. I find both sides fascinating and I like to enjoy the show. What I don’t like is weird fans trying to push there opinions down other peoples throats instead of letting them come to your own conclusions and liking what the want. Just remember…it’s a TV show

Chad-gon Targaryen

There is a major difference between your run of the mill medieval ruling family cousin/2nd cousin incest and brother sister marriages for the purposes of blood purity. To try and label the two as equivalent is beyond comprehension. And yes there is an essentially “perfect” house in Oldtown who have ruled for millennia of peace and prosperity from Oldtown before the Targaryens arrived. Center of learning, trade and religion and a culture more modern and civilized than any other in Westeros. There really isn’t a house that can compare to House Hightower in terms of the “good” they have done for the realm. “We light the way” indeed. And if you think the message GRRM is sending with the books is that people shouldn’t be hypocritical in judging Targaryen incest I think you need to go back and read it slowly this time.

Keith Reynolds

well said

Jake

You and me both bruh. idk who tf in their right mind would stan that thing

Cannon Andrus

I pray to the old and the new that this is true

༒ dianna ༒

Mel alrady did before lol

BreezyBri

lol bro there is no excuse for incest period! You trying to defend the other houses as if it’s the lesser is exactly the point of HOTD and what George RR Martin is getting at. They are ALL hypocrites. Just enjoy the show and root for who you want but recognize that there isn’t some holy grail, god fearing, perfect “family/house” in this world.

Michael H

@Joe Mama I’m going to keep it in mind for myself if nothing else. I’ve only seen two seasons of GoT but plan on keeping up with HotD, so I’ll be sure to skip ahead a little at that point. Thanks.

Chad-gon Targaryen

Yes but the incestous cousin marriages for other houses isn’t done to serve some blood purity ideal the way the Targaryen’s do. Their blood purity fixation is frankly disgusting and comes off as being a bit Slytherin-like, and that is the nice comparison. I think we all know what the true comparison is. And like you said, the Targaryen’s take it to the highest degree.

BreezyBri

People using “incest” as an excuse to not support Targaryens is so dumb. Literally everyone in this world plus the actual world has participated in incest at some point in history. All the other houses marry cousins. It’s seen as acceptable, but Targaryens just take it a step further with the brother and sister thing. Whether cousin or sibling it’s still incest. There is no innocent house in GOT or HOTD

BreezyBri

People are allowed to have there own opinions and like what they like, stop trying to change that 🙄

Jake

Cannon boi, there is no such thing as a Joffrey stan

Chad-gon Targaryen

Fully agreed that the only good Targaryen is a dead Targaryen. Viserys is arguably the worst of all of them in HOTD given his willful blindness. He’s the ostrich king with his head in the sand. Most people support of HOTD Targaryen’s can be summarized simply by videos like: “Daemon Targaryen being a badass for 7 minutes straight 🔥 😈” Oh and the dragons, can’t forget the dragons.

Lukash

HotD s1 made me hate Targaryens. Besides Viserys there is not a single Targaryen that is not absolutely terrible or a psychopath. I dont understand Carters bias towards them at all :D

Goat-ruto

Targaeryan stans

BipolarKitten

Someone should sponsor socks for Cannon.

jason 𒉭

yes search it, one of the producers said in an interview that dany was the “eye candy” in the first season to attract people to watch the show. and i’m pretty sure that when show was still airing her , jon and tyrion were the most popular characters.

Dude Man McGee

5am, just noticed this drop, hope to god i'm not closing tomorrow

Sara

Team green using "supporting incest" as an argument against team black is so funny considering how Aegon is literally married to his SISTER lmao

A_Daddy Daichi

Omg I didn’t know that 😭💔

༒ dianna ༒

😔

༒ dianna ༒

"I find it so strange that she uses her left hand" OKAY JACK we left handed people exist in the world 🥲

Melizé

Hahaha 🤝

Kite

saying Viserys didn't do anything evil is crazy, he forced his wife to birth multiple kids to get a son and he chose not to save his wife, I still like him but he wasn't a perfect king/person

Jed

Oh I remember your crush alright hahahaha Im 23 now and I still have a crush on the dragon queen! Daenerys forever!

sushi

Targaryens are the best house hands down. I watched GoT first, and instantly loved the Targaryens. their lore is unparalleled, and I think what draws a lot of watchers/readers in are the Targaryens themselves.

mikenlar

I aggree that in their case a heads up is required but I've seen so many comments overreacting it. I get that if they watch it it will be more fresh for them than for those who watched got a long time ago. But watching hotd as a got fan is like watching a a WWII documentary, we all know what happened but watch it either way. I think jack and mckay should definitely let them know how they feel about knowing what will happen and if takes away from the show and decide how strong they feel about watching hotd without any spoilers..

Melizé

I'm 26 and have a massive crush on Daenerys 😂😂 but ig you already know that hahahaha

Marcusinmilw

Yeah, except that would give spoilers for House of the Dragon. Remember, in that series the Targaryens are in the middle of a civil war and only people who have read the book know the outcome.

danidelight

If you notice the clothes they are wearing in video 7 (where Carter talked about voting for where Jack should sit) and the clothes they're wearing in this video, and looks like for video 9 as well.. it's the same clothes. So it looks like they watched multiple episodes and are slowing editing them and posting them, so the vote has not yet been carried out.

Osvaldo

The Velaryons were the wealthiest and Lannisters probably 2nd or 3rd in HOTD.

danidelight

So many great characters are emerging at this point. The chess pieces are movinggg

Ana

This episode was soooo good. Robb enters the game. My second fav character. The Lannisters suck but they have some interesting members in their family. I definitely hate team green more than Lannister. Team green are just full of weird people that don't have the right to be doing what they're doing. Just so annoying lol. Like team green are fake. They act above everyone else when they are bad people. The Lannisters don't hide. You know what you get with them. When I first watched GoT I immediately read the books. I like Dany but there are waaay more cooler families than the Targeyans. I always loved the Starks and the north stuff more than dragons

Joe Mama

No one said anything about them stopping HOTD. I just meant they could skip the scene if they wanted as it’s only like minute or two at most and isn’t all that relevant to the plot. And sure I’ll give you that it takes one scene out of a “first watch” experience but most people didn’t watch both shows at the same time for the first time either. It’s obviously up to them but I think it’s a fair warning ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Michael H

Wish I could give you two likes for both being right and saying “je nais se quois”

Chad-gon Targaryen

Right like of all characters when season 1 came out Dany was the main reason for watching…

Marcusinmilw

The Ser Barristan scene always pisses me right off. The disrespect is absolutely unbelievable.

mikenlar

I don't think watching it would ruin anything for them. However, skipping the dialogs would mess with the "first watch" experience, and just pausing with got until they finish hotd (that would be like what? season 2 and two more planned seasons?) would be just wrong imo.

Alexa

These Lannister rats really get me going, even though I've seen the whole series already. The rage is real

Twuan

Its lore videos on YouTube of all 17 Targaryen kings that ruled in Westeros over a 300 yr span

Not today

I think olena tyrell is a hightower, she married a tyrell

cheera

This

Peyton

i guess that vote didnt mean shit

Ana

Please do the history and lore videos they're really cool. Non spoiler and helps you understand the world much better

alexis ♡︎

when i first watched this show, at this point in the story i had already kind of fallen in love with dany’s character and to a lesser extent, the targaryens as a concept. as simple as it is, i really was just fascinated by their connections with dragons and the mysterious magic that cements that union. upon learning more about their lore, i was kinda conflicted because they def aren’t good people as a collective, but as characters in a story they’re j so epic. they’re so interesting and entertaining, and i don’t think they’re unambiguously bad on a person to person basis. i also think their situation offers an interesting perspective on blood lines and stuff like that because the story explores the importance (or arguably lack thereof) of bloodlines, yet being a dragon rider is absolutely dependent on the presence of targaryen blood. tldr: targs are pretty sick, dragon go brr 🫡

Blackeyedlily

Yes, twins are common in the Lannister family. There are several sets of them throughout the stories written in this universe.

Jigga Man

That post discussion of HOTD first viewers is so interesting because you guys are probably one of the only few people (far less reactors) who would have watched HOTD before GOT. Watching GOT for the first time I was interested in the Targs because of the idea of dragons. Coming from HOTD you guys already know of how dangerous and fantastical dragons are and even seen one of the Mythic OGs (Vhaegar), so the Targs may not be as interesting to you guys as they were to people like me. The thing is though, the way they tell GOT is just on a much more grande scale than HOTD. HOTD is a contained story but GOT is an entire universe and has infinitely more lore, way beyond dragons (so far at least) than HOTD.

Andrew Lynch

Great convos at the end as always. I would DEFINITELY recommend the lore. Worldbuilding is probably GRRM’s strongest quality as the author he goes so in depth and you’ll understand so many more references

Alexa

Right? It gets me every time. I'm worried one of these days he's gonna hurl on camera 🤣

Blackeyedlily

The Hill Tribes in Westeros are basically Wildings who were living South of the Wall when it was built. The Wildings and the Hill Tribes are both descended from the First Men, who were the first wave of humans to settle Westeros. And so are the majority of the noble houses and small folk of the North. A great deal of the rest of Westeros is populated by the Andals, the second wave of men who migrated to Westeros. In the Vale (the area where Catelyn’s sister resides) the ruling Houses are almost all made up of people who descended from the Andals. They defeated the First Men who resided there. And the Hill Tribes consist of many of those people who were defeated by the Andals. So they would love to get what Tyrion was offering them; the ability to get control of the Vale back from the men who conquered them and drove them into the hills in the first place. That is why Tyrion taunted them by saying that they hide in the hills and shiver when the Knights of the Vale ride past.

Michael H

Carter’s squeamishness kills me lol. The look of horror on his face whenever there is ever any blood shed…or weird food eaten…or animated snot…you gotta feel for the guy.

Chad-gon Targaryen

I will say in terms of comparing Team Green to the Lannisters I feel like it’s apples and oranges. At least the Lannister’s are clearly competent, ruthless, strive openly for power, and have a certain “je ne sais quoi” about them. The Hightowers on the other hand are either misguided or annoying (Alicent), a pathetic rage monster (Criston), lifelong schemer (Otto), and a weak mommy’s boy king (Aegon). Tywin alone projects more strength and backbone than all of team Green.

Joe Mama

Not sure how far you guys are ahead on watching from this upload (doubt you’re in season 3 yet/just a few episodes into season 2) but I can’t stress this enough. In season 3 episode 4 there’s an huge atomic spoiler for HOTD at the 16 minute mark. I’m sure someone else has told you guys already but again like I said it’s a huge spoiler and I don’t want you guys to ruin the experience of HOTD since that’s what most of you boys started with and made you like the world of ASOIAF to begin with.

jason 𒉭

bro don’t even ,most of us who didn’t even know anything about the books originally watched the show because of her. your just saying that because for some reason you hate the targs.

Curtis Jones

When I watched the first season of game of thrones I just remember not caring about the Targaryen's because they are just so far away from the rest of the story. Watching house of the dragon first makes you care for them a lot more and probably makes you more interested in her story.

Chad-gon Targaryen

I mean she’s hot but there are way hotter characters in this show

Chris Sanford

I almost agree with McKay about picking sides in GoT, buuuuuuut Tyrion...

Tracy Jones

I never thought of that… Syrio was good dude. RIP

Daenerys Targaryen

I think you're exactly right. At the time of GOT the richest are the Lannisters, followed by the House Tyrell.

Daenerys Targaryen

Um...the Lord of Light guys...

Daenerys Targaryen

I'm gay but honestly I think I'm straight for Daenerys. She's mystically beautiful.

LullaBelle

I really wanna watch it, but I’ll wait until you drop the other two so I can have a nice little binge. Waiting (im)patiently. 😄

MrGuy3000

About who belongs on the throne , I say targs simply because they made it. Also that conversation at the end is interesting because the targs while they were weakening rapidly they still held on to power for like 200 more years after the good king viserys died

jason 𒉭

i think we all had the hots for dany back then🤣

Lydia

Also idk about others but I didn't feel anything towards "Targaryens" cause we didn't get to know much about them really. I just felt like I was glad we didn't have to see the Mad King's shenanigans cause that would have been too much for tv lol I just knew i instantly loved Dany

Abbysase

Arya in the book is left handed! So the actress learned how to sword fight left handed to stay as close to the book!

Lydia

The way the ep ends with just "He will." Literal chills. This is where the ride of your life starts guys! Now give us eps 9, 10, and season two 1-5 thanks!

Daenerys Targaryen

So about the Targaryens (the best House) since you asked: I was always drawn to them since the first watch (I watched GoT years ago). I think Daenerys's hair and her eyes just always pierced through my soul and I felt an instant connection to her and her House (which we knew NOTHING about besides they used to rule Westeros and maybe rode dragons in the past? So you can imagine how thrilled I was when I heard about the HOTD that would focus on that family (and it didn't disappoint!!)

Daenerys Targaryen

CANNOT WAIT!

Sam M

I wonder if they've seen Better call Saul

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

I know they've finished season one so the anticipation for episode 9 is Crazyyy

Chad-gon Targaryen

Yeah if you ignore the entire coast then sure.

Dark M

It's 2:25 am now, I can't go sleep.. I want episode 9!

HybridThizzle

i can taste episode 9

Fatipapi

the only way in and out of the vale is that one road with the high walls with crossbows mounted on em.. id say shes pretty safe

Dani

guys it's episode 9 next, I don't think anyone's ready.

Cat Stiny

Dead. The suspense is far too much for just one upload a week my dudes!!! I've been wondering....so far no one (from what I can tell) has made any mention of the Hightowers....what happened to their house? I'm wondering if they were wiped out even before the Targaryens...hmmmm...

Delane Gill

Viserys from Hotd is Aegon the conquerors great-great-grandson. The events of that show are about 100+ years after Aegon’s conquest (when the iron throne was first formed) and the targs had held the throne for 280 years until Robert’s rebellion finally overthrew them properly. I think the throne definitely corrupts a lot of those who sit up, it’s the whole “absolute power corrupts absolutely” thing. There’s definitely been good kings but there’s also been more bad kings and that’s often on account of the power getting to them and those around them, plus the targaryens being seriously inbred doesn’t help since it means that a lot of them are insane.

Enma

"Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young" is a quote that I think perfectly fits Ser Barristan Selmy. That man could've taken those king's guards easily, and they know it.

Jarvis

my body is ready

Afra

I still have hope for another episode update 🫣🤓

I❤️movies&tvshows

Loved it. Great reaction.

Buschi

When they said "A child born of a traitors seed in not fit consort for our king." to Sansa they shouldve added "... for our king the child of a traitors seed."

Jaime

I'm dreading the next ep, but also excited to see how you handle it 😂

Delane Gill

I mean the wooden sword he was using was styled after a longsword rather than a rapier. I think he refuses to use a sword in front of Arya because he didn’t want her to see him kill people

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

MacKay' little glances at the camera like he's on the Office XD

Delane Gill

The Lannisters have always been a pretty powerful and wealthy family because they have rich lands full of literal gold mines. However the current family patriarch, Tywin, has worked towards cementing them as the current richest and most powerful house in the seven kingdoms for quite a while from when his own father was still head of the family

PST3

Carter edits the videos so he knows when Mckay does it.

AdiosYuna

Starks also have a very good relationship with their servants. The books gave more details in that regard.

Please post episode 9 tonight

Frank Francis

I already can't wait for the next one

traplikemaxxx

need episode 9 tonight!!

Chad-gon Targaryen

Her home is virtually impenetrable. The rest of the Vale is arguably the most defensible of all the Kingdoms, but still vulnerable to attack. You would never send your fighting men away for a war that does not benefit you in anyway.

Fatipapi

I do be lovin the geks

Zechree

dude yes!!!!!!!! The wire is an all time classic, I think that show, Better Call Saul/BB, and Dark are alltime masterpieces.

Fatipapi

Why does she need all the soldiers when the place is impregnable tho lol

Andrew Lynch

YES it’s out let’s gooo

Bellaa

she also was being abused a good amount (at least during the early years of filming got) by her father. she is an amazing strong woman on screen and off

Jed

All I remeber about early GOT and the Targaryen’s is being 13 years old and having a massive crush on Daenerys😂

Elle B.

I recommend you guys watch “The Wire” at some point. It was written/created by a crime journalist, based on the true stories of the narcotics trade he witnessed in Baltimore. It was made in the early 00’s yet it’s still relevant today. It’s on par with Breaking Bad for me as one of the greatest TV series of all time.

nora

McKay eyeing the camera whenever they say something interesting will never not be funny lol the highlight of every video🤣

Jed

Ser Barriston is the GOAT! The actor does such a great job. When he was cast he read all of the books immediately so he could embody what Ser Barriston was like. Also his voice is sick👌🏻

jason 𒉭

uno your cooked when the guy your fighting is writing a poem in the middle of a fight , khal drogo is a menace💀

jason 𒉭

robb is easily my favourite character in the first season . the moment he found out his father was put in chains . he stepped up, gained the respect of the north men . and rallied his army towards the lannisters.

Carrie

Every time Brig pronounces the p and t in “coup d’etat” it brings me a little bit of joy 😂

Darrell Henry

If I’m remembering correctly at the time of House of the Dragons the Velaryons are the richest family followed by the Lannisters and the Hightowers.

Bias aside you have to admit Lysa kind of gagged Catelyn. Why would the Vale drag themselves into another war when they have the most defensible kingdom?

The convos with Varys and Ned in the dungeon are some of my fav in the series. So layered, insightful and of course perfectly acted.

Kharmic

Let’s goooo.

shmaimeee

is ep 9 next week ?

Tracy Jones

Syrio doesn’t use the fallen swords because it’s a different type of sword. He’s trained with fencing(a rapier) sword not the common long sword.

Mia Malvik

P sure it's Cannon's fav

James

I think all of them have already seen Breaking Bad, and if I recalled correctly, it's one of Carter's favorite.

GBuckets

In the future after you guys finish game of thrones and house of the dragons, you guys should think about doing Breaking Bad next. It’s up there with GOT and AOT and the highest rated show on IMDB
