Welcome back everyone it's Charlie this will be my house the dragon episode 8 trailer video there's
a whole bunch of easter eggs and references here so we'll break it down if you're brand
new to the channel I'm doing videos for all the episodes be sure to subscribe to get them
and careful for spoilers from episode 7 if you haven't seen it yet because we'll have to talk
about that to talk about what happens in episode 8 because there is another small time Jump like
you probably noticed that the younger actors seem like teenagers now so I'll explain what's
happened in the missing gap of years but it's a much smaller Gap than we've seen in previous
episodes just starting at the beginning of the trailer and working our way through shot by shot
talking about easter eggs WTF moments there are a couple major things happening in this trailer
like one you have the threat of the high Towers taking over the Iron Throne because viserys has
become an invalid basically and they also talk about the threat of War happening in the trailer
that references a couple different conflicts like the actual Dance of the Dragons Targaryen
Civil War but also you have what's going on with corlys velaryon's brother vaemond velaryon in the
stepstone there was another war with the triarchy and possibly Dorne that they were worried about
previous episode and that's just been heating up ever since then the only briefly addressed
that in last week's episode when laenor velaryon was talking about his lover going back to the
stepstones because the conflict is still getting worse it's sort of like another version of the big
war that we had in the stepstones during episode 3 but you have to remember that several years have
gone by since the last time that they actually discussed the war during the small council like
we should probably do something about what's going on in the stepsons no no no let's worry about it
later not a big problem now turns out later is right now it's become a big problem so the threat
of War looms all over Westeros internally and externally down in the stepstones and
even though it seems like the opening salvos have been fired in the dance of the dragons because of
the big alicent versus rhaenyra fight in episode seven it hasn't quite got to that point yet we're
a little bit closer everyone's got a little bit older people have gotten a little bit bitter but
the all-out blacks versus greens fighting hasn't started yet so at the beginning of the trailer
several years have gone by the kids are now teenagers for the most part although you have to
remember that some of them were a little bit older to begin with so like for instance aegon II was
already way older than jaecerys. So jaecerys seems like he's a younger teenager now and it seems like
aegon II is probably approaching his 20s almost and even though aemond one eye targaryen looks
way different way older than aegon II yet remember that he's his younger brother he just happens to
be way taller and the years of writing vegar have only made him more cruel I'll explain that too
because the actor who played the younger version of him when he claimed vegar actually talked about
the switch like once he claimed vegar that changed something inside him he changed from being this
very meek person to sort of freeing the beast so to speak freeing this cruel person that was inside
of him but you look at alicent's children and it just seems like the years have only made their
faces that much more punchable although it is kind of silly to call them children because we were
watching renera and alicent being about the same age as they were in the first couple of episodes
but it seems like what's happened in the year since the last episode is that viserys's condition
has gotten worse and he's become bedridden and can no longer actively rule like he would
normally expect him to do day-to-day stuff so the fact that Otto Hightower hand and of the King has
taken over a lot of these duties isn't abnormal like you would expect the hand of the king to do
this ages that we have the whole conflict the dance of the Dragons going on with the blacks
versus the greens and that's what's caused them to be worried and if you remember a long time
ago in the timeline a couple episodes ago before a couple big time jumps ranera basically said screw
you to King's Landing in court and said let's go to Dragonstone let's get away from all the
gossip but this is where it starts to bite them in the ass because she hasn't been around to her
father all these years and his condition has given the hightower's ample opportunity to try and take
control of the Iron Throne so to speak like the way the auto Hightower is speaking in the throne
room here I speak with the authority of the king so basically he can do whatever he wants to he has
all the power right now and it seems like that's what brings Daemon and rhaenyra back to King's
Landing because she's probably worried about her father and even though you do see the kids
fighting during the trailer like you see the older version of Bayla and rhaena there as well because
obviously Daemon's gotten remarried to renera so they move to Dragonstone as well so now you have
the Twins jaecerys and lucerys and I can't quite tell if rhaenyra is pregnant with her first child
Daemon she might have already given birth to him or they might save that for season two I think
they'll probably be at least like one or two more smaller time jumps by the Time Season 2 Season 3
get going just because of how much later in the timeline the actual Dance of the Dragons happens
and the aftermath if we're making jokes about the kids too you could actually say that renera
and Daemon's children have gotten better looking with time and alicent's children have actually
gotten worse looking with time like time has not been kind to alicent's children also you have the
whole idea that aegon really liked drinking when he was younger and that only gets worse when it
gets older that winds up affecting his long-term health just like a little bit and obviously amen
has just gotten more and more Twisted inside as weird as Helaena is like we know that she has
dragon dream so she's got this weird aspect about her that they haven't fully explored yet like we
know there's something special about her because she has dragon dreams I'm sure the years have also
made her just as much weirder it'll be real fun to see what kind of prophecy she speaks during
episode 8. like every time we have a new episode she speaks some new prophecies and if you couldn't
tell on the left of renera here that's jakaris her older son luceris is later in the trailer you also
notice that they're wearing their trademark blacks and greens because we're like that much closer
to the dance of the dragons and it is the blacks versus The Greens that was also part of Helaena's
prophecy during episode seven when she talked about the black and green dragons in the dragons
of thread it was meant to be a reference to the color of the dresses that both of these women
wear they are both dragons because they're part of the targaryen family but also it's meant to
be a reference to the dragons themselves actually fighting each other when the actual war starts a
couple of the brand new dragons that they haven't shown in the trailers yet but that the kids have
claims since then are baela and rhaena's dragons obviously and lucerys' dragon. Lucerys' dragon is
named erax he claimed him normally like you would expect them to at a young age now way back in the
timeline baela already had her dragon its name was Moondancer rhaena was the one that wanted to
claim vhagar because she didn't have a dragon yet but aemond and did it from under her nose
during the time jump since the last episode she's probably claimed a dragon in that time its name is
morning but you do notice that most of the kids on the show except for Aemond because vagar is
the oldest biggest dragon most of the kids dragons are way smaller way younger when princess rhaenys
is saying that tomorrow the hightowers land their first blow I think this just has something to do
with them taking control of the Iron Throne because of viserys becoming a full-blown
invalid like maybe that just happened during the events of this episode it also seems like Corliss
Valerian is on his deathbed he suffered some grave injury down to the stepstones because they've been
fighting that for the last couple years I believe this is meant to be his bedroom because in the
background it seems like it is Princess rainies at his bedside and here's the thing about the actual
episode the title is the lord of the tides which is a reference to the lord of House Valerian the
ruler of driftmark and there's a lot of footage of his brother vaman Valerian in this if you remember
in last week's episode there was this whole question of who was going to take possession
of drift Mark someday would it be luceras like corlys thought it would be or would it be Laena's
children like rhaenys wanted it to be but you also have to remember that vaemond velaryon,
corlys' brother has a claim to driftmark that he's going to want to assert and he really really
hated Daemon if you remember back in episode three like way earlier in the timeline he really hated
him that has not changed with time just when the look on his face it just seems like he's ready to
assert his claim here he also comes marching into the red keep with a bunch of valerian's men and
I believe the idea is that he's taking command of their army in the stepstones in corliss's absence
there's a scene of older Criston Cole training with older Aemond Targaryen you hear viserys's
voice he sounds way worse in the earlier trailer we actually see a picture of him in later trailers
I believe this is what he's meant to look like like he wears a mask to cover part of his face
because his leprosy has gotten so bad like in the last episode you actually saw that he lost an arm
already so it seems like he can barely walk but for the most part they believe that he's going to
be bedridden from here on meaning that he might wind up dying in episode 9 like that would be a
very Ned Stark thing of him to do and we've been talking about got him in a Ned stark context it's
kind of like ticking clock waiting for him to die because the actual Dance of the Dragons can't
really start until he does die this is jakaris and luceris in the yard watching somebody come through
the gate this is Daemon on Dragonstone grabbing another dragon egg we'll see who he tries to give
it to he could be getting one for his new child with rhaenyra remember previously he made this big
deal about getting mysaria pregnant even though that was a lie and he tried to pretend like he was
going to give her dragon egg even though it was a big faint he was trying to do it to get under
his brother viserys's skin this time it's for real though he's legitimately married renera it's all
above board so he's totally free to have as many children as he wants with her and give them all
dragon eggs the person saying this is a matter of blood not ambition is corlys velaryons' brother
probably talking to rhaenys about the succession this is the scene of the children fighting jakaris
aemond aegon luceris and the girls are there too baela and rhaena like just shocked about
what's going on whatever they're arguing about in this room here remember I said in episode 7
the whole idea that they're exploring the show in addition to just the actual Dance of the Dragons
itself is the idea that the adults like alicent and rhaenyra are passing this beef that they have
between them on to their children and previously their children actually kind of liked each other
so sort of this idea that the adults are poisoning the youth so to speak mysaria comes back into the
story she's been around this whole time it just hasn't been a big part of what's actually going
on she's kind of like a version of larys strong but for rhaenyra and Daemon unofficially she's
kind of like the Mistress of Whispers more like a varys character she's a little bit less chaotic
than lyrics but she's just as deadly and I also believe because of what's happening in the yard
here like you see aemond say nephews he's talking to jaecaerys and lucerys it's meant
to be a callback to the events of episode 6 when they were fighting in the yard and they were much
younger now the idea that amid has gotten way larger like he just physically grown way bigger
and he's grown way more cruel and at the end of the trailer in a small council meeting Otto
Hightower talks about the threat of War looming like I said that's meant to be a reference to
the conflict heating up between the greens and the blacks but really when he's probably talking about
in this context is actually about what's happening in the stepstones there's also the potential that
vaman Valerian could take their forces and also start a conflict over the battle of the
succession over driftmark as well so technically you could talk about there being three possible
words that they have to fight if you spotted any other Easter eggs or references in the trailer
that I didn't talk about in the video just write down below in the comments in my full episode 8
video will post Sunday after they released it I do have a couple bonus videos planned for
