00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:08.240
The whole of Westeros is literally on fire as season three House of the Dragon wraps up.
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:10.000
Let's go over the spoilers.
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:12.880
It's gonna be a deep dark dive.
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:17.280
Alright, alright alright.
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:18.960
So welcome back to DMR.
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:21.120
Thank you for tuning back in as always.
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:22.160
Much obliged.
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:24.320
Look at this 4K vault.
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:25.679
It's getting better.
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:26.640
It's getting better, kids.
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:27.600
Look at Boney.
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:29.359
He's got the spring hat on.
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:31.760
Spring is just around the corner.
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:32.960
He's loving life.
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:34.399
Look at he's about to hit the town.
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:35.920
He's sick of the cold.
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:36.960
It's good stuff.
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:38.079
He's gonna get out there.
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:44.799
So I hope you enjoyed my interview with Hollywood director, which was Tamara Davis.
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.560
Thank you very much, Tamara, for coming on DMR.
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.159
It's an awesome episode.
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:51.280
Go back and check it out.
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:56.880
Tamara is the director for cult classics like Billy Madison CB4, Half Bake.
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:58.799
She worked with Britney Spears on Crossroad.
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.280
She's done fair few documentaries as well.
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:03.039
So go back and check that one out.
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.519
So let's go through season three of House of the Dragon.
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:08.640
Whew, man.
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.920
This season ramped it up big time.
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:16.640
They have been slowly ramping it up for a number of seasons now.
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.400
So we have just got the final episode that dropped last week.
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:22.400
It was an absolute burner.
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.359
Excuse the pun, but it was fire everywhere.
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:34.400
Literally, as I said at the start, Westeros is ablaze with the civil war, with the high towers and the Targaryen.
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:41.920
So what we're going to do, we're going to go over what House of the Dragon is, Game of Thrones House of the Dragon.
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:49.920
Then we're going to go through who the characters are, and then we're going to touch on the big spoilers that happened in season three.
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:57.519
So if you haven't watched that, go back and check that one out before going down this deep dive rabbit hole.
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:06.400
But a reminder that DMR is part of the Amazon influencer program, which is in conjunction with Audible.

00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:46.960
Let's go.
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:53.520
Welcome to DMR, Dewey's movie reviews.
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.520
The red carpet treatment.
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:02.719
Enjoy the show.
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.759
Alright, so House of the Dragon season three on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:09.759
It's got 91%.
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:12.159
So very high score.
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:19.120
And I've seen online as well that some people aren't happy with this season and how it panned out.
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.199
I don't agree with those comments.
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.800
I thought this season was an absolute ripper.
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:26.080
Absolute ripper.
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.120
Edgy seat stuff, it was very, very cool.
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.039
So House of the Dragon.
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:32.319
So what is it?
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:42.479
So before we go over that, can you believe that the original Game of Thrones series ended in 2019?
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:44.240
Can you believe that?
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:46.800
2019 it ended.
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.639
And seems like a lifetime ago, doesn't it?
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:54.000
When you think about it, when you hear that number, it's when COVID rolled around.
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:55.039
Very interesting.
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:56.319
Very interesting.
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:58.159
But House of the Dragon.
00:03:58.319 --> 00:03:59.759
So what exactly is it?
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:05.280
So off the back of Game of Thrones with all the crap that went on in that particular series.
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:13.919
Great series as well, but again, there's some controversial controversy surrounding how that all wrapped up.
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:25.439
But if memory serves, I think it went beyond the books that were written for the show, and they were kind of just winging it in terms of where to go with the story.
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.000
And a lot of people didn't like the ending and how it all wrapped up.
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:35.040
Spoiler look, if you haven't seen that, you had the mad queen, which is a Daenerys, I think it was.
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:36.240
She's got a stack of names.
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:37.360
There's a heaps of names.
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:44.959
The blonde chick basically went Billy Bananas, torched all of Westeros, or a lot of it, and a hell of a lot of people died.
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:51.680
And a lot of people weren't happy with how that ended and who became the ruler of the seven kingdoms.
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:53.759
So go back and watch that.
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.399
Pretty sure it went for quite a number of seasons.
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.240
Was it eight seasons off the top of my head?
00:04:58.319 --> 00:04:59.279
I'm not entirely sure.
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:03.199
I have to go back and do a bit of a deep dive of how long that went for.
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:06.319
But let's see the show notes, shall we?
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.920
The show notes for what House of the Dragon is.
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:23.120
So House of the Dragon in HBO's prequel to Game of Thrones, centered on the Targaryen Civil War known as the Dance of the Dragons.
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:36.480
So season three continues the brutal conflict between Renera Targaryen, the blacks, and Aegon the second Targaryen, the Greens.
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:40.399
So the storyline in season three, spoilers ahead.
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:54.399
So season three picks up immediately after the chaos of season two and pushes the war into full scale devastation, and there's a hell of that, hell of a lot of that, in season three.
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:55.439
Very much so.
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.199
Very, very cool stuff.
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:02.560
So we've got here the dance becomes an all-out war across across Westeros.
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:09.120
Major battles erupt, including the Battle of the Gullet and the First Battle of Tumbleton.
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:17.360
We've got here dragons unleashed as weapons, leading to catastrophic losses on both sides.
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:25.519
Political manipulation intensifies, especially from Adolescent, Amon, and Ormond, Hightower.
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.759
Then you've got here as well the finale at Tumbleton.
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:31.040
This was an absolute cracker.
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:39.360
The finale at Tumbleton delivers betrayals, shifting alliances, and massive consequences for season four.
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:47.680
This season is darker, more violent, and more character-driven than the two previous seasons.
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:55.279
So going back over it, so the storyline goes, and I'm going to be paraphrasing here a bit.
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:59.600
So there was a king, which is Rhaenyra's dad.
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:06.079
Rainera, off the top of my head, she was next in line with the throne.
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:21.839
Then the king basically married Rhaenyra's best mate, or one of her best mates, which was Alicent, the brunette, and basically had two sons to him, or her.
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:23.920
She had two sons for him, basically.
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:32.959
Which meant that Rhaenyra, yes, she's a girl, but then you've got these conflicting two sons that are now in the picture as well.
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:40.959
So the king basically dies, and he dies in a horrific manner.
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:52.079
He gets some type of rare illness, and he basically withers away to nothing, and you see it up on the screen, and it is shocking stuff.
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.680
And that's the whole thing about Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:03.360
It's all about Dungeons and Dragons back in the day, and it is all about shock value to the core.
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.199
So look at Boney.
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:07.120
Jeez, he's good, isn't he?
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:07.759
He's good.
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:09.759
We like him, he's a good little mascot.
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:20.720
So continuing on, so the king, spoiler alert, basically dies, and then you've got Aegon, I think it is, and Amond.
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.160
They're the two brothers.
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:34.159
So you've also got Damon Targarim, which is Renira's brother, and there's a lot of family blue blood, if you know what I mean, happening in this particular show.
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:41.519
So they become an item, and you've also got a younger version of Renira, and then swapped over to the older version.
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:44.720
I'll get to the characters in a minute about who plays who.
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.720
But then they basically, there's a lot more that happens to this.
00:08:48.799 --> 00:09:03.840
They basically get kicked out, or Rhaenyra loses her entitlement, so to speak, to the throne, and you've got the rise of Amon and Aegon, the two brothers, sitting on the iron throne.
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:09.759
So basically, there's a lot more to it, but that's just the gist of it in terms of what the storyline is all about.
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:15.679
Then, of course, you've got the Targaryens, which are dragon riders, it's in their blood, basically.
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:19.200
And there's a stack of dragons in these particular seasons.
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:30.480
That's a good thing about House of the Dragon, is that especially with the earlier episodes of Game of Thrones, with a lot of the political stuff that is going on, it's very, very cool.
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:39.840
This time we don't have to wait for the dragons to hatch and obviously become bigger dragons, like we do in the final seasons of Game of Thrones.
00:09:40.159 --> 00:10:01.200
These things are fully fledged, crazy-looking dragons, and they're awesome colours as well, in terms of what they all look like, and they're used as huge weapons, and people are absolutely scared to death of them, and that's why the Targaryens are basically so powerful in Westeros.
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:10.399
So let's go over the characters who plays who in season three, and we'll keep rolling from there.
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:19.440
Alright, so let's go over the cast of House of the Dragon for season three.
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:25.919
So who the actors and actresses are that play the main characters and supporting characters as well.
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.480
So the main one, we've got the blacks.
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:29.759
This is the black side.
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.879
So we've got Emma Darcy.
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:49.200
She plays the older version or the season two and season three versions of the adult version of Rhenira Targirian, the rightful queen flight fighting to reclaim the Iron Throne.
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:56.879
And Emma basically betrays Rhenira incredibly well, incredibly well.
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.080
And it's not just her up on the dragons, obviously flying around.
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:14.559
There is that in this particular season to a degree, but this is more of her rise to power and basically coming through all the tragedy that she has endured over the first two seasons.
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:23.679
She loses a hell of a lot of kids along the way, including another one in this season in the sea battle.
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:27.279
And I'll get to that in a moment about what happens there.
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:41.279
But she has had a lot of tragedy along the way in making it back to West of Ross, sorry, not Wester Ross, the red keep, and basically getting it back on that throne.
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:49.039
So she does it very well, and the way she does it in the show is that she the way she has emotion up on the screen.
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:54.799
You can tell sometimes she's very calculated and cruel, especially towards the end of the season.
00:11:55.039 --> 00:12:05.519
Other times she can get really worked up and has panic attacks, and then obviously, when she loses those kids during the seasons, it's very, very raw.
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:08.000
As a parent myself, I've got two boys.
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:13.919
You can kind of feel that emotion that people would go through if they were to lose kids.
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:16.639
So Emma, she knocks it out of the park.
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:18.399
Then you got Matt Smith.
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.399
Matt Smith carries this show a hell of a lot.
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:31.600
He plays Damon Targaryen, which is Reneira's uncle, and they're an item in this particular series.
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:37.679
And he's got this red dragon, I think it's called Caraxis.
00:12:39.440 --> 00:13:03.919
I think it is, and it's an awesome-looking red dragon with a very, very long neck, and I'm pretty sure it's got a clef palette, and it makes these very unnerving whistles, grunts, and squeals almost when it flies and when it's in battle, it absolutely owns season three.
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:11.120
You see a lot of it in this particular season, and him and Damon are a very cool pair.
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:29.039
But when Damon is up on the screen, he is the heavy for Reniro basically going out there into Westeros and basically leading all of the battles to a degree, and he kicks ass in this particular season, especially in the last battle.
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:30.639
Very, very cool stuff.
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:39.200
He's commands the screen when he's up on it, and you're lured in when Matt Smith playing Damon is up on the screen.
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:40.320
So very cool stuff.
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:49.919
Then we've got here Fia Saban playing Helena, Helena, targeting her tragic arc reaches the emotional peak in the season.
00:13:50.080 --> 00:14:07.519
Then we've got here Steve Toescent, I think it is, playing Cororus Valerium, which is Reneira's right hand, or hand of the king, I think it is, whose capture destabilizes her leadership in this particular season.
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:19.039
So you've also got the Valerians as well, and I'm pretty sure might be wrong here, but they are the ones that kind of control or have the dragons originally, I think it is, and they're kind of tied together.
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:26.639
So the two Targaryens and the Valerians are kind of side by side, and they've all got blonde hair as well.
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:30.720
So the sea snake, he's that's what I think his name is in season three.
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:41.120
So then we've also got here Bethany Antonia playing Balia Targaryen, a fierce dragon, rider, and lore supporter.
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.080
Then switching over to the green side, which is Aegon's side.
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:57.360
So you've got here Tom Glen Carney playing Aegon the second Targaryen, the embattled king whose fate takes shocking turns.
00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:09.679
So we saw that in season two, where basically his brother Amond is taking out one of the enemies on a dragon and absolutely burns him to a Chris.
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:15.120
Horrifically scarred in season two, and I'll get to that a bit later.
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:19.360
But he is the absolute comeback king in season three.
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:21.360
Amazing stuff from him.
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:36.720
He's very disfigured, he's basically kicked off the throne this season, and that's when Renium basically comes back to King's Landing, and they come back to a kingdom that is basically broke and dead on its knees.
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:46.000
There's no more rat catches anymore because the brother, what's his name here, Amon killed them all, and the city is just run into the ground.
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:51.440
So she finally gets there, but it is a city that is on its knees.
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:56.240
So moving forward here, we've got Olivia Cook playing Alison Hightower.
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:01.360
She is very manipulative, a master, manipulator, forging letters and influencing armies.
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:03.360
She is very, very sneaky.
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.840
She is a very good actress when you see her up on the screen.
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:09.679
She does a very good role as Alison.
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:13.279
She's done so for a number of seasons now.
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:19.279
So then we've got here Ewan, or yeah, Ewan Mitchell playing Amon Targaryen.
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:26.080
This guy, cold, calculating, and increasingly increasingly dominant in the war.
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:46.159
So he rides the biggest dragon, the big green one, and he's without his dragon this season, and he's basically trapped in Luigi's castle, and he is also has to deal with a witch in this particular castle as well.
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:49.200
So he has a very interesting season.
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:55.360
He's got the scar on one of his eyes, and he's got a I think it's like a marble or some type of rock in his eye.
00:16:55.440 --> 00:17:01.600
So he's a very cool psychopathic guy in this particular series.
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:06.319
I love looking at him up on the screen because he owns it, he owns it very, very well.
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.480
So very good acting by him.
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:16.400
Then we've also got James Norton playing Armond Hightower, commander of the Green Armies.
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:18.799
This guy's a bit of a corporate drone.
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.720
He is the architect of the major betrayals.
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:35.119
Then we've also got Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, who plays Daron Targaryen Knighted as Sir Darren the Daring, and rising as a key player.
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:38.000
So then we've got the supporting characters as well.
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:44.960
We've got Tom Bennett playing Olf the White, a dragon rider whose betrayal becomes a turning point.
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:54.079
Very, very cool in the final episode where he's riding on the silver dragon, and basically he switches sides.
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:55.279
So that was very, very cool.
00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:07.759
I love to see that he was on the Targaryen side, which was Damon's side, and then I think he gets blind, he's on the toilet, he's hung over, and then he gets forced up into the air, and then he basically switches.
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:08.720
He switches side.
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:10.799
It's a very, very cool betrayal by that guy.
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:19.119
Then we've got here Kieran Bu playing Hugh Hammer, another dragon rider whose loyalty shifts dangerously.
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:24.960
Then we've got Freddie Fox who is playing Tywin Lannister, political and battlefield influences.
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:30.799
So, again, with all the roles that are assigned in season three, very, very good.
00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:40.160
The acting is very, very solid in this particular season, especially with all the political stuff that is going on during season three.
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:48.799
So let's move forward now and let's go over some of the big spoilers that happened during the season.
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:50.799
And that was before we go any further.
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:56.640
A cool thing that happened, I'm pretty sure it was at the start of this season, it could be the back end of season two.
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:09.599
Is that the Targaryen's or Rheni basically needs more dragon riders and she finds them with people that are descendants of Targaryens where they can actually ride dragons?
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:10.319
So that was very cool.
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:14.480
And I'm pretty sure she's got six dragons in this particular season.
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:21.519
Alright, so let's roll on to the big moments, the big spoilers in House of the Dragon season three.
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:26.559
Alright, so you have been warned.
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:34.799
So let's go through the best moments of season three, and it's gonna be spoiler heavy.
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:37.119
So I'll touch on a few spoilers here and there.
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:46.960
But if you don't want to listen to the spoilers, go back and watch it on HBO, then come back and watch this particular spoiler review.
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:55.920
So we've got here this is probably the one of the best moments in the show, which is Aegon the Second's return with Sunfire.
00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:05.039
So Aegon appears unexpectedly, and Sunfire thought dead burns house mutant forces alive.
00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:13.519
So he's in the dark in this forest, and these forces are coming up to him, and he says, Stuff it, I'm gonna reveal myself as the king.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:23.279
He doesn't realise, but he's dragon that he thought was dead, and you do see that dragon, its corpse, earlier in the season.
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:42.799
He basically reveals to this horde that's coming towards him that he is the true king of Westeros, and you hear some rustling behind him, and you definitely know it's a dragon, but then this dragon, Sunfire, which is disfigured and it's missing half of its face.
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:59.680
You can see he's missing one eye, comes up behind him, and he is absolutely psyched, Aegon that is, and basically says Jacaris and burns all of the forces, and it is a huge comeback, a huge comeback.
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:05.279
His character development in this season is phenomenal, very, very, very cool stuff.
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:07.839
So really did love that particular scene.
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:13.119
Then you've got Helena's tragic death after finishing her prophetic tapestry.
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:14.079
Oh, yes, that's right.
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:29.599
She basically knits all different type of stuff in the show where she's captured by Ranira, and one of them was her prophesising a scene in some upcoming situation or something along those lines.
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:34.400
Anyway, she basically jumps from the window and she's also pregnant as well.
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:47.599
One of the season's most emotional scenes, and I'm pretty sure it's the same window that Cersei's kid, Joffrey's brother, jumps out of in Game of Thrones hundreds of years later.
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:59.759
And that's another thing as well, which is the season or House of the Dragon is set 200 years prior to the events of Game of Thrones.
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:01.839
The original series that is.
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:03.519
So he got next up here.
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:05.839
Ulf the white betrays Renira.
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:14.079
He defects to the greens, handing, as I mentioned before, handing over Silverwing and shifting the dragon balance.
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.720
So he's supposed to be on Damon's side in the final battle.
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:25.440
And you see in some previous scenes that he's drunk and really sprooking that he's a dragon rider.
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:28.640
He's supposed to be up on his dragon protecting something.
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:41.359
He's found in some type of toilet, and he's basically hung over, and then he defects, he's had enough of Damon and defects to the other side and starts burning all of the forces on Damon's side.
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:42.799
Very, very cool scene.
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:58.880
And there's a scene as well where Damon you think he's actually going to lose his life because he makes it through the gates with his red dragon, and he is fighting up against this massive other knight, and it comes very close to where you think Damon is going to perish, but he does make it through.
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:00.640
So very cool betrayal.
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:01.279
That one.
00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:35.039
So really did love that particular dragon in this season.
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:38.960
Moving forward, we've got Corales's Valerian is captured.
00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:41.759
This guy had an absolutely mid-season.
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:50.000
He gets captured after the major sea battle at the start, loses a finger, and then he's basically a hostage for the rest of the a lot of the season, the rest of it.
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:58.160
So then we've got down here, we've got Darion's Knighthood, who becomes Sir Darien, the Daring, making the rise before the final battle.
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:03.039
Then we've got here the Treasons of Tumbleton, the final episode.
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:12.079
So the finale delivers multiple betrayals, dragon chaos, and a massive shift in the war walls future.
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:18.160
So that's basically it for season three, House of the Dragon.
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:20.000
So an amazing season.
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:28.000
Again, I don't know why this is getting hate online in terms of how people perceive the particular season.
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:33.839
I'm pretty sure it's the highest rated season of House of the Dragon.
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:45.119
So I thoroughly enjoyed this season, especially all the character developments with Damon, Rhenira, Aegon, Amon, all that jazz.
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.960
Bit of a tongue twisted there in terms of the actual characters.
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:51.119
But it's a very cool show.
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:52.799
Very, very cool show.
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:59.279
So hopefully we won't have to wait another year or two for season four.
00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:06.480
But again, with any show that's out there, you've got to know when to wrap it up.
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:21.599
So I reckon they've probably got maybe another two seasons in them until people start to get a little bit bored with the particular style of this show.
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:33.200
But again, the dragons are what holds it all together, and of course, the political situations that take place during the show, everyone nails their assigned roles.
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:35.759
So very, very cool season.
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:50.720
I do agree with the critics in terms of it being up in the 90s, they knocked it out of the park, they've scaled it up majorly, and as I said, Westeros, the full civil war, is now in play.
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:52.319
There's no holding back.
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:53.279
So there you have it.
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:57.200
The spoiler review for House of the Dragon season three.
00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:02.799

00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:05.039

We're rolling them out.
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:23.440
It's very, very cool in terms of the momentum that DMR has got.
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:28.559
And as always, leaders on the Menji.
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:36.799

00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:40.160
Now, get your ass to the movies.
00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:08.240
The whole of Westeros is literally on fire as season three House of the Dragon wraps up.
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:10.000
Let's go over the spoilers.
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:12.880
It's gonna be a deep dark dive.
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:17.280
Alright, alright alright.
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:18.960
So welcome back to DMR.
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:21.120
Thank you for tuning back in as always.
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:22.160
Much obliged.
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:24.320
Look at this 4K vault.
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:25.679
It's getting better.
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:26.640
It's getting better, kids.
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:27.600
Look at Boney.
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:29.359
He's got the spring hat on.
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:31.760
Spring is just around the corner.
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:32.960
He's loving life.
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:34.399
Look at he's about to hit the town.
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:35.920
He's sick of the cold.
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:36.960
It's good stuff.
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:38.079
He's gonna get out there.
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:44.799
So I hope you enjoyed my interview with Hollywood director, which was Tamara Davis.
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.560
Thank you very much, Tamara, for coming on DMR.
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.159
It's an awesome episode.
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:51.280
Go back and check it out.
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:56.880
Tamara is the director for cult classics like Billy Madison CB4, Half Bake.
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:58.799
She worked with Britney Spears on Crossroad.
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.280
She's done fair few documentaries as well.
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:03.039
So go back and check that one out.
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.519
So let's go through season three of House of the Dragon.
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:08.640
Whew, man.
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.920
This season ramped it up big time.
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:16.640
They have been slowly ramping it up for a number of seasons now.
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.400
So we have just got the final episode that dropped last week.
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:22.400
It was an absolute burner.
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.359
Excuse the pun, but it was fire everywhere.
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:34.400
Literally, as I said at the start, Westeros is ablaze with the civil war, with the high towers and the Targaryen.
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:41.920
So what we're going to do, we're going to go over what House of the Dragon is, Game of Thrones House of the Dragon.
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:49.920
Then we're going to go through who the characters are, and then we're going to touch on the big spoilers that happened in season three.
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:57.519
So if you haven't watched that, go back and check that one out before going down this deep dive rabbit hole.
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:06.400
But a reminder that DMR is part of the Amazon influencer program, which is in conjunction with Audible.
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.800

Alright, so let's get into it, shall we?
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:46.960
Let's go.
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:53.520
Welcome to DMR, Dewey's movie reviews.
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.520
The red carpet treatment.
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:02.719
Enjoy the show.
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.759
Alright, so House of the Dragon season three on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:09.759
It's got 91%.
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:12.159
So very high score.
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:19.120
And I've seen online as well that some people aren't happy with this season and how it panned out.
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.199
I don't agree with those comments.
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.800
I thought this season was an absolute ripper.
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:26.080
Absolute ripper.
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.120
Edgy seat stuff, it was very, very cool.
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.039
So House of the Dragon.
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:32.319
So what is it?
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:42.479
So before we go over that, can you believe that the original Game of Thrones series ended in 2019?
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:44.240
Can you believe that?
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:46.800
2019 it ended.
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.639
And seems like a lifetime ago, doesn't it?
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:54.000
When you think about it, when you hear that number, it's when COVID rolled around.
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:55.039
Very interesting.
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:56.319
Very interesting.
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:58.159
But House of the Dragon.
00:03:58.319 --> 00:03:59.759
So what exactly is it?
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:05.280
So off the back of Game of Thrones with all the crap that went on in that particular series.
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:13.919
Great series as well, but again, there's some controversial controversy surrounding how that all wrapped up.
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:25.439
But if memory serves, I think it went beyond the books that were written for the show, and they were kind of just winging it in terms of where to go with the story.
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.000
And a lot of people didn't like the ending and how it all wrapped up.
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:35.040
Spoiler look, if you haven't seen that, you had the mad queen, which is a Daenerys, I think it was.
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:36.240
She's got a stack of names.
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:37.360
There's a heaps of names.
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:44.959
The blonde chick basically went Billy Bananas, torched all of Westeros, or a lot of it, and a hell of a lot of people died.
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:51.680
And a lot of people weren't happy with how that ended and who became the ruler of the seven kingdoms.
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:53.759
So go back and watch that.
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.399
Pretty sure it went for quite a number of seasons.
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.240
Was it eight seasons off the top of my head?
00:04:58.319 --> 00:04:59.279
I'm not entirely sure.
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:03.199
I have to go back and do a bit of a deep dive of how long that went for.
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:06.319
But let's see the show notes, shall we?
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.920
The show notes for what House of the Dragon is.
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:23.120
So House of the Dragon in HBO's prequel to Game of Thrones, centered on the Targaryen Civil War known as the Dance of the Dragons.
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:36.480
So season three continues the brutal conflict between Renera Targaryen, the blacks, and Aegon the second Targaryen, the Greens.
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:40.399
So the storyline in season three, spoilers ahead.
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:54.399
So season three picks up immediately after the chaos of season two and pushes the war into full scale devastation, and there's a hell of that, hell of a lot of that, in season three.
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:55.439
Very much so.
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.199
Very, very cool stuff.
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:02.560
So we've got here the dance becomes an all-out war across across Westeros.
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:09.120
Major battles erupt, including the Battle of the Gullet and the First Battle of Tumbleton.
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:17.360
We've got here dragons unleashed as weapons, leading to catastrophic losses on both sides.
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:25.519
Political manipulation intensifies, especially from Adolescent, Amon, and Ormond, Hightower.
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.759
Then you've got here as well the finale at Tumbleton.
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:31.040
This was an absolute cracker.
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:39.360
The finale at Tumbleton delivers betrayals, shifting alliances, and massive consequences for season four.
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:47.680
This season is darker, more violent, and more character-driven than the two previous seasons.
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:55.279
So going back over it, so the storyline goes, and I'm going to be paraphrasing here a bit.
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:59.600
So there was a king, which is Rhaenyra's dad.
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:06.079
Rainera, off the top of my head, she was next in line with the throne.
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:21.839
Then the king basically married Rhaenyra's best mate, or one of her best mates, which was Alicent, the brunette, and basically had two sons to him, or her.
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:23.920
She had two sons for him, basically.
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:32.959
Which meant that Rhaenyra, yes, she's a girl, but then you've got these conflicting two sons that are now in the picture as well.
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:40.959
So the king basically dies, and he dies in a horrific manner.
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:52.079
He gets some type of rare illness, and he basically withers away to nothing, and you see it up on the screen, and it is shocking stuff.
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.680
And that's the whole thing about Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:03.360
It's all about Dungeons and Dragons back in the day, and it is all about shock value to the core.
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.199
So look at Boney.
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:07.120
Jeez, he's good, isn't he?
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:07.759
He's good.
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:09.759
We like him, he's a good little mascot.
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:20.720
So continuing on, so the king, spoiler alert, basically dies, and then you've got Aegon, I think it is, and Amond.
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.160
They're the two brothers.
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:34.159
So you've also got Damon Targarim, which is Renira's brother, and there's a lot of family blue blood, if you know what I mean, happening in this particular show.
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:41.519
So they become an item, and you've also got a younger version of Renira, and then swapped over to the older version.
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:44.720
I'll get to the characters in a minute about who plays who.
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.720
But then they basically, there's a lot more that happens to this.
00:08:48.799 --> 00:09:03.840
They basically get kicked out, or Rhaenyra loses her entitlement, so to speak, to the throne, and you've got the rise of Amon and Aegon, the two brothers, sitting on the iron throne.
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:09.759
So basically, there's a lot more to it, but that's just the gist of it in terms of what the storyline is all about.
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:15.679
Then, of course, you've got the Targaryens, which are dragon riders, it's in their blood, basically.
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:19.200
And there's a stack of dragons in these particular seasons.
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:30.480
That's a good thing about House of the Dragon, is that especially with the earlier episodes of Game of Thrones, with a lot of the political stuff that is going on, it's very, very cool.
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:39.840
This time we don't have to wait for the dragons to hatch and obviously become bigger dragons, like we do in the final seasons of Game of Thrones.
00:09:40.159 --> 00:10:01.200
These things are fully fledged, crazy-looking dragons, and they're awesome colours as well, in terms of what they all look like, and they're used as huge weapons, and people are absolutely scared to death of them, and that's why the Targaryens are basically so powerful in Westeros.
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:10.399
So let's go over the characters who plays who in season three, and we'll keep rolling from there.
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:19.440
Alright, so let's go over the cast of House of the Dragon for season three.
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:25.919
So who the actors and actresses are that play the main characters and supporting characters as well.
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.480
So the main one, we've got the blacks.
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:29.759
This is the black side.
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.879
So we've got Emma Darcy.
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:49.200
She plays the older version or the season two and season three versions of the adult version of Rhenira Targirian, the rightful queen flight fighting to reclaim the Iron Throne.
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:56.879
And Emma basically betrays Rhenira incredibly well, incredibly well.
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.080
And it's not just her up on the dragons, obviously flying around.
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:14.559
There is that in this particular season to a degree, but this is more of her rise to power and basically coming through all the tragedy that she has endured over the first two seasons.
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:23.679
She loses a hell of a lot of kids along the way, including another one in this season in the sea battle.
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:27.279
And I'll get to that in a moment about what happens there.
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:41.279
But she has had a lot of tragedy along the way in making it back to West of Ross, sorry, not Wester Ross, the red keep, and basically getting it back on that throne.
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:49.039
So she does it very well, and the way she does it in the show is that she the way she has emotion up on the screen.
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:54.799
You can tell sometimes she's very calculated and cruel, especially towards the end of the season.
00:11:55.039 --> 00:12:05.519
Other times she can get really worked up and has panic attacks, and then obviously, when she loses those kids during the seasons, it's very, very raw.
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:08.000
As a parent myself, I've got two boys.
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:13.919
You can kind of feel that emotion that people would go through if they were to lose kids.
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:16.639
So Emma, she knocks it out of the park.
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:18.399
Then you got Matt Smith.
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.399
Matt Smith carries this show a hell of a lot.
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:31.600
He plays Damon Targaryen, which is Reneira's uncle, and they're an item in this particular series.
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:37.679
And he's got this red dragon, I think it's called Caraxis.
00:12:39.440 --> 00:13:03.919
I think it is, and it's an awesome-looking red dragon with a very, very long neck, and I'm pretty sure it's got a clef palette, and it makes these very unnerving whistles, grunts, and squeals almost when it flies and when it's in battle, it absolutely owns season three.
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:11.120
You see a lot of it in this particular season, and him and Damon are a very cool pair.
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:29.039
But when Damon is up on the screen, he is the heavy for Reniro basically going out there into Westeros and basically leading all of the battles to a degree, and he kicks ass in this particular season, especially in the last battle.
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:30.639
Very, very cool stuff.
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:39.200
He's commands the screen when he's up on it, and you're lured in when Matt Smith playing Damon is up on the screen.
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:40.320
So very cool stuff.
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:49.919
Then we've got here Fia Saban playing Helena, Helena, targeting her tragic arc reaches the emotional peak in the season.
00:13:50.080 --> 00:14:07.519
Then we've got here Steve Toescent, I think it is, playing Cororus Valerium, which is Reneira's right hand, or hand of the king, I think it is, whose capture destabilizes her leadership in this particular season.
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:19.039
So you've also got the Valerians as well, and I'm pretty sure might be wrong here, but they are the ones that kind of control or have the dragons originally, I think it is, and they're kind of tied together.
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:26.639
So the two Targaryens and the Valerians are kind of side by side, and they've all got blonde hair as well.
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:30.720
So the sea snake, he's that's what I think his name is in season three.
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:41.120
So then we've also got here Bethany Antonia playing Balia Targaryen, a fierce dragon, rider, and lore supporter.
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.080
Then switching over to the green side, which is Aegon's side.
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:57.360
So you've got here Tom Glen Carney playing Aegon the second Targaryen, the embattled king whose fate takes shocking turns.
00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:09.679
So we saw that in season two, where basically his brother Amond is taking out one of the enemies on a dragon and absolutely burns him to a Chris.
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:15.120
Horrifically scarred in season two, and I'll get to that a bit later.
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:19.360
But he is the absolute comeback king in season three.
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:21.360
Amazing stuff from him.
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:36.720
He's very disfigured, he's basically kicked off the throne this season, and that's when Renium basically comes back to King's Landing, and they come back to a kingdom that is basically broke and dead on its knees.
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:46.000
There's no more rat catches anymore because the brother, what's his name here, Amon killed them all, and the city is just run into the ground.
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:51.440
So she finally gets there, but it is a city that is on its knees.
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:56.240
So moving forward here, we've got Olivia Cook playing Alison Hightower.
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:01.360
She is very manipulative, a master, manipulator, forging letters and influencing armies.
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:03.360
She is very, very sneaky.
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.840
She is a very good actress when you see her up on the screen.
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:09.679
She does a very good role as Alison.
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:13.279
She's done so for a number of seasons now.
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:19.279
So then we've got here Ewan, or yeah, Ewan Mitchell playing Amon Targaryen.
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:26.080
This guy, cold, calculating, and increasingly increasingly dominant in the war.
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:46.159
So he rides the biggest dragon, the big green one, and he's without his dragon this season, and he's basically trapped in Luigi's castle, and he is also has to deal with a witch in this particular castle as well.
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:49.200
So he has a very interesting season.
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:55.360
He's got the scar on one of his eyes, and he's got a I think it's like a marble or some type of rock in his eye.
00:16:55.440 --> 00:17:01.600
So he's a very cool psychopathic guy in this particular series.
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:06.319
I love looking at him up on the screen because he owns it, he owns it very, very well.
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.480
So very good acting by him.
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:16.400
Then we've also got James Norton playing Armond Hightower, commander of the Green Armies.
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:18.799
This guy's a bit of a corporate drone.
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.720
He is the architect of the major betrayals.
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:35.119
Then we've also got Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, who plays Daron Targaryen Knighted as Sir Darren the Daring, and rising as a key player.
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:38.000
So then we've got the supporting characters as well.
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:44.960
We've got Tom Bennett playing Olf the White, a dragon rider whose betrayal becomes a turning point.
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:54.079
Very, very cool in the final episode where he's riding on the silver dragon, and basically he switches sides.
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:55.279
So that was very, very cool.
00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:07.759
I love to see that he was on the Targaryen side, which was Damon's side, and then I think he gets blind, he's on the toilet, he's hung over, and then he gets forced up into the air, and then he basically switches.
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:08.720
He switches side.
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:10.799
It's a very, very cool betrayal by that guy.
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:19.119
Then we've got here Kieran Bu playing Hugh Hammer, another dragon rider whose loyalty shifts dangerously.
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:24.960
Then we've got Freddie Fox who is playing Tywin Lannister, political and battlefield influences.
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:30.799
So, again, with all the roles that are assigned in season three, very, very good.
00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:40.160
The acting is very, very solid in this particular season, especially with all the political stuff that is going on during season three.
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:48.799
So let's move forward now and let's go over some of the big spoilers that happened during the season.
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:50.799
And that was before we go any further.
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:56.640
A cool thing that happened, I'm pretty sure it was at the start of this season, it could be the back end of season two.
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:09.599
Is that the Targaryen's or Rheni basically needs more dragon riders and she finds them with people that are descendants of Targaryens where they can actually ride dragons?
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:10.319
So that was very cool.
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:14.480
And I'm pretty sure she's got six dragons in this particular season.
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:21.519
Alright, so let's roll on to the big moments, the big spoilers in House of the Dragon season three.
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:26.559
Alright, so you have been warned.
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:34.799
So let's go through the best moments of season three, and it's gonna be spoiler heavy.
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:37.119
So I'll touch on a few spoilers here and there.
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:46.960
But if you don't want to listen to the spoilers, go back and watch it on HBO, then come back and watch this particular spoiler review.
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:55.920
So we've got here this is probably the one of the best moments in the show, which is Aegon the Second's return with Sunfire.
00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:05.039
So Aegon appears unexpectedly, and Sunfire thought dead burns house mutant forces alive.
00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:13.519
So he's in the dark in this forest, and these forces are coming up to him, and he says, Stuff it, I'm gonna reveal myself as the king.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:23.279
He doesn't realise, but he's dragon that he thought was dead, and you do see that dragon, its corpse, earlier in the season.
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:42.799
He basically reveals to this horde that's coming towards him that he is the true king of Westeros, and you hear some rustling behind him, and you definitely know it's a dragon, but then this dragon, Sunfire, which is disfigured and it's missing half of its face.
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:59.680
You can see he's missing one eye, comes up behind him, and he is absolutely psyched, Aegon that is, and basically says Jacaris and burns all of the forces, and it is a huge comeback, a huge comeback.
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:05.279
His character development in this season is phenomenal, very, very, very cool stuff.
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:07.839
So really did love that particular scene.
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:13.119
Then you've got Helena's tragic death after finishing her prophetic tapestry.
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:14.079
Oh, yes, that's right.
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:29.599
She basically knits all different type of stuff in the show where she's captured by Ranira, and one of them was her prophesising a scene in some upcoming situation or something along those lines.
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:34.400
Anyway, she basically jumps from the window and she's also pregnant as well.
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:47.599
One of the season's most emotional scenes, and I'm pretty sure it's the same window that Cersei's kid, Joffrey's brother, jumps out of in Game of Thrones hundreds of years later.
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:59.759
And that's another thing as well, which is the season or House of the Dragon is set 200 years prior to the events of Game of Thrones.
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:01.839
The original series that is.
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:03.519
So he got next up here.
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:05.839
Ulf the white betrays Renira.
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:14.079
He defects to the greens, handing, as I mentioned before, handing over Silverwing and shifting the dragon balance.
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.720
So he's supposed to be on Damon's side in the final battle.
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:25.440
And you see in some previous scenes that he's drunk and really sprooking that he's a dragon rider.
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:28.640
He's supposed to be up on his dragon protecting something.
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:41.359
He's found in some type of toilet, and he's basically hung over, and then he defects, he's had enough of Damon and defects to the other side and starts burning all of the forces on Damon's side.
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:42.799
Very, very cool scene.
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:58.880
And there's a scene as well where Damon you think he's actually going to lose his life because he makes it through the gates with his red dragon, and he is fighting up against this massive other knight, and it comes very close to where you think Damon is going to perish, but he does make it through.
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:00.640
So very cool betrayal.
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:01.279
That one.
00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:35.039
So really did love that particular dragon in this season.
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:38.960
Moving forward, we've got Corales's Valerian is captured.
00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:41.759
This guy had an absolutely mid-season.
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:50.000
He gets captured after the major sea battle at the start, loses a finger, and then he's basically a hostage for the rest of the a lot of the season, the rest of it.
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:58.160
So then we've got down here, we've got Darion's Knighthood, who becomes Sir Darien, the Daring, making the rise before the final battle.
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:03.039
Then we've got here the Treasons of Tumbleton, the final episode.
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:12.079
So the finale delivers multiple betrayals, dragon chaos, and a massive shift in the war walls future.
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:18.160
So that's basically it for season three, House of the Dragon.
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:20.000
So an amazing season.
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:28.000
Again, I don't know why this is getting hate online in terms of how people perceive the particular season.
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:33.839
I'm pretty sure it's the highest rated season of House of the Dragon.
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:45.119
So I thoroughly enjoyed this season, especially all the character developments with Damon, Rhenira, Aegon, Amon, all that jazz.
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.960
Bit of a tongue twisted there in terms of the actual characters.
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:51.119
But it's a very cool show.
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:52.799
Very, very cool show.
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:59.279
So hopefully we won't have to wait another year or two for season four.
00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:06.480
But again, with any show that's out there, you've got to know when to wrap it up.
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:21.599
So I reckon they've probably got maybe another two seasons in them until people start to get a little bit bored with the particular style of this show.
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:33.200
But again, the dragons are what holds it all together, and of course, the political situations that take place during the show, everyone nails their assigned roles.
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:35.759
So very, very cool season.
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:50.720
I do agree with the critics in terms of it being up in the 90s, they knocked it out of the park, they've scaled it up majorly, and as I said, Westeros, the full civil war, is now in play.
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:52.319
There's no holding back.
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:53.279
So there you have it.
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:57.200

We are now on Reddit as well with DMR, so make sure you check that one out.

We're rolling them out.
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:23.440
It's very, very cool in terms of the momentum that DMR has got.
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:28.559
And as always, leaders on the Menji.
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:36.799
