Ok so House Of The Dragon Episode 8 is now out and the brand new entry is currently up in the Aunty like Jon Snow in Season 7. It’s a big family affair with the sides metaphorically burning down the house. Dracareys. There’s a lot to unpack from this one and throughout the video we’re gonna be recapping the plot, pointing out all the easter eggs and talking about how it differs from the book Fire and Blood. Now the entry combines several years from the timeline in order to tell it’s story. The two major events in it are the death of Vaemond which is later followed by King Viserys who sadly passes away at the end of the entry.
In the books the first of these happened in 126 AC with the latter happening 3 years later in 129. Therefore they’ve kinda combined several events into this hour long episode and according to the creative team this will be the last time jump in the series.
From here on out we will be travelling into the dance of the dragons which is described as being the far more elegant name for the civil war amongst the Targaryens. This was foreshadowed all the way back in episode 1 with this line from an elderly Rhaenyra.
–
Now the episode is titled Lord Of The Tides which is a title traditionally held by the heads of House Velaryon. The people who gain this instantly get the island of Driftmark along with the naval powers of Black Water Bay. This also typically grants them the position of Master Of Ships on the council and it’s a heavily saught after position.
Most of this episode centres around one single paragraph in the book that talks about Vaemond claiming to be lord of the tides and then getting beheaded before he’s fed to Syrax.

There are zero hot women wtf
If we REALLY go back. The Hightowers were pressuring the maesters in a Lannister protection like way to assure Aegon (Any male heir) is king.
I mean, did Daemon train with the Faceless Men? 'Cause the way he snuck up on Viserys to help him up the stairs and Vaemond after he was talking ish, no one noticed.
Wow
WtF with that Pic? Patch is on the Wrong eye?
The closed captions on this episode in particular are hilarious! BTW loved the Rocky Horror Picture Show reference!
Elderly Rhaenyra!?! Spoilers! 😹
i really do enjoy the show, and your breakdowns help to better understand what is happening. thanks!
I love your recaps, great insight especially for those of us that have not read the books. I miss reading so much, but as we age…, However, it’s shows like yours that enhance what we are shown on the screen. As always, thank you!❤
Lots of "sort of" correct information, surrounded by a bunch of attempts at jokes. "The silent sisters' job is to prepare bodies for funerals" lol. I guess the kings job is to walk to the throne with a cane.
why is amond 10 years older than his cousins now?
People with dreads what? Black?!
I'm so glad HOTD didn't bomb!
He’s laughing at the pig and I like the dance as it shows that they are still just kids
That stair down between Aemond and Daemon was chilling. Aemond is quickly becoming my favorite character. He’s the bad guy you sort of root for. Kinda like the joker in the Dark Knight.
Personally, I like when Paul squeaks "theory time, theory time, theory time, theeeeory time"…but that's just me, or is it?
Bro, she clearly poisoned the girl. It's not just tea she received!! I thought they made that kind of obvious!
All fine but you missed the red woman… Or at least whom I perceive to be the red woman.
I could be wrong but the woman who is the “spy” looks like the woman who gave the tea to alicent when she was talking to the maid hand who aegon hurt
Oh my god the BEAST BENEATH THE BOARDS is 100% foreshadowing Alicent and the rat. She still owes him. He’ll lurk 👀
I do think it’s fascinating the dynamic Alicent created with both Viserys AND the previous king, being present and alone with them at both of their ends. Always a Hightower…
And F that Aemond is NOT as bad ass as Daemon! He is a pup. Aemond is secretly a Daemon stan…Daemon is still the big dog. Don't get it twisted. Also we need to stop referring to the book so much. It was written by 3 different people, whos accounts often varied. Unreliable narrators. HotD, we need to assume is the truth. Period.
Fire & Blood is based on the testimony of three people, whose accounts are often at odds with one another. They are unreliable narrators. We should be assuming that HOTD is the true account. Also give Paddy his Emmy!!
they killed all the male heir of vallarians…. all the black male cast gone….
all i really want from the show is a flashback of baelerion in his prime I wanna see how big it is dammit the skull is such a tease
Haelana said "Beware the Beasts beneath the boards."
I'd love to know what her meaning is!!?
I feel like Alicent poisoned Diana, because she said "I know you won't tell anyone else. " something to that effect.
That dinner turned really fast after Viserys left the dinner.
The greens make me sick keeping the king all out of it with the poppy, and keeping him half hanging onto life so they can run the throne, it just makes me Sick!!!
Dude, you are hilarious
Ok so what happened to the hand maid Diana?
she said 'you are the beast beneath the boards'
this show sucks, I stopped watching it
I don't understand why she asked the grandmother about the girls marrying her sons surely that would have been upto Daemon?
7:19 You will have your tongue cut for that
The twins from the matrix are albino not white 😂
this show suxs
