The time is coming either you prepare to rule or you pray for her mercy
i am to at the iron throne
she will block my way she will never bend the knee
Welcome back everyone it's charlie they released a house of the dragon episode 6 and beyond trailer
already so we'll break it all down if you're brand new to the channel i'm doing videos for all the
episodes just like i did for game of thrones be sure to subscribe to get them all we're also doing
a giveaway for hbo max subscriptions all you have to do to enter is be a subscriber and post all
your theories on what's happening in the footage down in the comments below we'll just start at
the beginning of the trailer and talk about the footage shot by shot going through it starts
with a new scene of daemon and caraxes flying to dragonstone then we have a scene in the yard
of the red keep like this gated area here that you see a couple times on the show and this is
an older version of aegon ii practicing his sword fighting with what seems like his brother eamonn
targaryen also known as a man one eye later in the trailer he's this character here that everybody's
confusing for matt smith with the eye patch this isn't matt smith this is meant to be a completely
different actor playing an older version of eamonn one eye he hasn't been born yet on the show that's
because all this footage is coming from like a much bigger time jump at the beginning of
episode six and through the rest of the season it seems like what's happening here is they're just
practicing their sword fighting and kristen cole or someone else is training them here you could
tell that it's them because they're wearing the green colors underneath their practice armor for
the greens like the other side and the dance of the dragons even though when you think of green
and game of thrones you think of the tyrells like the tyrells wore a lot of greens there's green in
their banner i believe this is from episode five where alicent comes to rhaenyra's wedding to
laenor velaryon wearing the green gown and that's like the beginning of her wearing the color green
all the time and the different sides in the dance of the dragons which happens much later in the
timeline like the actual conflict happens much later in the timeline but the different sides
are referred to as the blacks and the greens and the names are references to the colors of dresses
that the two are known for wearing in these next couple of episodes like we'll just see why it
is that they wear those colors more often the other funny detail here too is you know this is
practice because alicent considers aegon ii to be the true heir even though he's much younger here
like he hasn't taken the iron throne or anything like that at this point if he were actually flying
into battle on his dragon it all them get dragons like there are a lot of kids obviously that are
being born there's all these questions about whether or not rhaenyra is pregnant right now
later in this trailer like the trailer that we're talking about right now you actually see her first
two sons shakira's and lucerus much older with the older version of emma de arcy playing rhaenyra
i think she's still supposed to be in her 20s at this point i believe episode 5 is the last episode
that we'll see this season with the younger versions of the actresses and rhaenyra is still
in her early 20s when this is happening it seems like her sons are still very young so
not like that much time has gone by like less than a decade so that's why you have aegon ii being so
much older here but not like really old and if he were actually flying into battle he'd be wearing
much more ornate armor suitable for a king kind of like daemon's very expensive looking dragon
scale designed armor this is just another shot of one of the targaryen design ships they actually
explain the differences in some of the ships that they use around westeros so for example the
ship that you see rhaenyra on especially in the previous episodes like the targaryen design ship
is more like a light cruiser like a pleasure yacht that the crown just uses for fairing
the targaryens around this part of the realm and back and forth between dragonstone and blackwater
bay like it's more of a short-range pleasure yacht type of ship as opposed to cordless valerian ships
which are like heavy cruisers that he uses for a lot of his trade that are much more heavily armed
way more men on them designed for travel across the narrow sea like much more dangerous waters
then there's a shot of otto hightower telling the younger alicent this might still be from episode
five as he departs the red key because he's been fired recently by viserys that she needs
to prepare aegon the second to rule or pray for rhaenyra's mercy like he's trying to strike the
fear of the gods into her and he's saying that if she doesn't do anything that rhaenyra is going to
become queen and reiterates that the king is also going to die i know there's a lot of questions
about what's going on with viserys what is he dying from like what is the actual problem here
it is otto hightower or someone else complicit in it like is somebody trying to speed his death
because there were all those scenes of him being cut by the iron throne that is a big piece of the
lore from the books the whole idea that the realm believes in this rumor that the iron throne will
kill anyone who's not meant to sit on it and that's why the people who sit on it who aren't
meant to get cut technically that's a lie because pretty much everybody that sits on it gets cut at
some point during the events of game of thrones cersei for example gets cut by it all the time
even robert baratheon got cut by the iron throne a couple times it is the most stabby looking throne
that you've ever seen it'd actually be hard to sit on it and not get cut by it even if you were
paying attention to something like that the actor who plays viserys patty considine actually did an
interview where he explained the truth about what's actually happening to the stairs like
why his health is declining so quickly and you get a better shot of him much later in the timeline in
the trailer here where he looks way worse and he's wearing that golden mask to hide part of his face
because his ailment has started to affect part of his face basically and this might look familiar
some of you may have figured this out based on this particular shot paddy considine and this
is canon like he explained this it's meant to be cannon to the show is supposed to be dying
slowly from leprosy that's what's affecting him and during the events of the trailer here like
wherever this shot is happening whichever episode he's gotten so bad that it started
to affect his face his eyes and he's just wearing this mask around because he started to look so bad
i know there's going to be all kinds of theories about the maesters having something to do giving
him leprosy it's not particularly contagious so even if he touches his children the queen other
members of court he wouldn't necessarily give it to them so it's not like he's passing around
leprosy around the court here now i think what's actually going on in his head is he's trying to
maneuver like he's got this grand plan for putting aegon the second on the throne and that's what
he's thinking about so he's kind of underhanded in that aspect but he's not actively trying to make
the king die faster there's a brand new scene of vhagar flying over a crowd of people all massive
still waiting to see which episode she actually shows up in supposedly there was a deleted scene
from a previous episode where her new dragon rider claims her and she is a female dragon
no spoilers for that like i've talked about it in previous episodes they've heavily foreshadowed
who the next person to write vhagar is going to be we'll see them again in episode five so hopefully
there'll be some more references to them writing vhagar please don't spoil that in the comments if
you know but there's a reason why they kept mentioning vhagar several times in previous
episodes vhagar is just meant to be the biggest oldest dragon at this point in the timeline
and the whole thing is the older the dragons get the bigger they get we'll meet rhaenys
current dragon meleys in episode five that'll be like the next brand new dragon that we see
possibly vhagar soon after that this castle in the background could be a version of heron hall
the turrets look kind of run down and melted which would be classic harrenhal but the scale doesn't
seem quite right like harrenhal is supposed to be massive like huge we saw it at the beginning
of episode one in the flashback to the great council of 101ac like this is meant to be
harrenhal that's how big it is this is the older version of renera played by emma darcy several
years goes by like i said between episode five and episode six i believe she's still in her twenties
their scenes of the older otto hightower looks the same basically like even though he's meant to be
several years older he looks pretty much the exact same he did in previous episodes it's the younger
actors that physically changed the most obviously but he's talking to the older alicent now played
by olivia cooke spending most of her days wearing green ever since the wedding banquet in episode 5.
this is corlys velaryon's throne room inside his castle in driftmark the castle is called high tide
and it's filled with all these treasures and items from all of his voyages across the world we'll see
that again during episode 5. there's the voiceover from older rhaenyra saying she's going to inherit
the iron throne and at this point it sounds like viserys's health has declined so much that the
topic of the succession has become a big thing like they're all thinking that it could happen
at any moment as they focus on a shot of viserys's crown which is jaehaerys's crown also on the show
we're probably gonna see aegon the conkers crown 2 which is like a completely separate crown
i'm not sure that viserys's crown is made of valyrian still it might be but i know that
aegon the conker's crown which is much smaller looking is actually made of valyrian steel then
there's another scene in the same gate of the red keep of the yard here where harwin strong
starts a fight with kristen called neither one of them are wearing their armor so somebody may have
insulted someone else like kristen cole may have insulted harwin strong this scene of the horse is
actually daemon grabbing rhea royce's horse as it bucks up at runestone in the veil that's actually
from episode five as far as i know this is what ria royce actually looks like the funny thing is
that daemon was talking to rhaenyra about her calling her the bronze as if she was this very
unattractive person that he wanted nothing to do with but she actually looks pretty good looking
like she's actually pretty hot i think that's just meant to get across the idea that daemon's kind of
a dirt bag like i think the joke is that she's actually fairly pleasant she's very good looking
just like a totally normal person that anybody would be happy to be married to except for daemon
then there's a scene of someone in what seems like a fire happening in this castle whichever one this
is happening in in the bed chamber the footage is a little too blurry to see who it actually is it
just seems like there's a fire in the background out the window here then there's a scene of older
vernier and older daemon on dragonstone talking about the dance of the dragons in alicent she's
saying she's going to block her way so it's more of the actual dance beginning like still part of
the prelude her kind of formulating her actual plan this scene is of daemon entering the iron
throne room in what seems like the wedding from episode five like he's wearing the same outfit
that he has on during the wedding banquet in episode five and it just seems like all the
other members of court here are shocked and he's kind of swaggering in like oh yeah you thought i
got banished but i'm totally back again then this battle footage actually seems like it's
old battle footage from cordless valerian's men attacking crap feeders army the triarchy at the
stepstones back in episode three not a new battle and this last scene of older alice in hightower
is her sitting in the small council room meeting with her version of the small council which is
called the green council rhaenyra has her own one called the black council for the blacks like the
other side in the dance during the actual dance of the dragons rhaenyra is also referred to by
the realm as the black queen that's one of her nicknames so it's the blacks versus the greens
the black council versus the green council the black queen versus aegon ii alicent isn't trying
to put herself on the iron throne she's trying to put her son aegon ii so technically when you're
talking about heirs battling with each other it's actually aegon the second versus ronira but
really is alicent fighting on aegon ii's behalf but if you spotted any other easter eggs in the
trailer footage that i didn't talk about in the video just write them below in the comments like
i said some of this might be from beyond episode six it could be like episode seven episode eight
my full episode five video will post sunday after they release it and then they'll probably release
like another dedicated episode 6 trailer with footage just from episode 6. so i'll do a new
video for that too when they release it make sure you enable alerts for my channel so you don't miss
