House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 5 BREAKDOWN & Connections to Game of Thrones!
Video Overview & Insights
In this video we take a deep dive, review, and explain season 3 episode 5 of HBO's fantasy series by George RR Martin HOUSE OF THE DRAGON based off the book Fire & Blood.
I was high on moon tea making this video. 🍵
The march to Tumbleton has begun! In this deep-dive breakdown of House of the Dragon, we explore Ormund Hightower's masterful, fiery trap for the Rivermen and Criston Cole's desperate guerrilla tactics. Meanwhile, dark magic and twisted romances brew between Aemond Targaryen and Alys Rivers at Harrenhal.
Back in King’s Landing, Rhaenyra Targaryen and Daemon face a deadly, organized insurgency wiping out the City Watch. Plus, we break down Helaena’s tragic secret, Aegon’s desperate escape with Larys Strong, George R.R. Martin's "toxic butterfly" effect, and deep Westerosi lore involving the Hightowers and Dorne!

I'm sorry but this season is really boring to me it doesn't hold my interest like previous seasons, I still think it would be amazing and full of action if Damon was the king cuz she is boring to me as queen 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️I'm ready to see dragons in battle I wanna see them destroyed all the Hightowers and quit missing the opportunity when they have them in grasp they keep letting them go 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ and hi with heck she's trusting Alicent I'll never understand

How Game of Thrones Should Have Ended: https://youtu.be/G0mncEl4nVU
- I honestly can't wait for Cristin Cole to die, he's such pathetic and despicable man, but I don't want Gwayne to die because he seems like the only decent "noble" lord we've seen so far
- the amount of reach and support Ormund has in King's Landing is ridiculous, like how TF is he finding and paying off these assassins to dimantle the Gold Cloaks?!
- I like how Larys gave Aegon a reality check, he rightly pointed out that Aegon had EVERY opportunity to be a great king but he chose to be scum of the earth

It's so so shitty. I skipped most of it. I just don't care for any of the characters. I don't care who dies. There's nobody to root for. I'm done with this absolute steaming pile of dog shit.

Why do people in the GOT universe promise everything to the Lords of the Twins just for crossing a river? It would be cheaper to build another dozen bridges!

Contrary to popular belief, cats don't hunt rats. Maybe mice sized baby rats. It's more of a job for dogs and minks.

Is the "witch" Arys killing the city guard through blood magic????
@ElDudirino86This episode is pointless and this show puts me to sleep.
@Plutoville599We are never going to see Helaena ride her dragon Moondancer will we?🤣
@thescarecrow2710I r hi in nine can all agree that Crispy Cole is a certified crashout and I don’t blame Gwayne for leaving! And I feel so badly for Helaena…💔
@dbe42777I deadass fell asleep on this episode
@hollywoodslymThat ending was disturbing
@blakerackley8874Emo Cole 😂😂😂😂
@EmilyMarieCarrAll Hail the the True Kings, Aegon! and Aemon! and Justice for the homie Criston Cole .. he was too real in this episode..The Boomerang effect be our weapon against the biased 'Men Bad' writers ✊
@PeasRice9A few things…
1. Alys is probably a skin changer/warg she wargs into the black goat and Owl. In fact she’s probably Bloodraven’s first candidate for being the three eyed crow but she probably was a failure due to Aemond.
2. It is very likely that the Winter Wolves might have a warg in their army (or perhaps Black Aly might be a warg due House Blackwood’s connection to the Old Gods) keeping an eye on Criston Cole’s army which explains how they were able to get ahead of them so quickly. My reasoning for saying this is there were scenes where the camera had a bird’s eye view of Cole’s entire force and if you rewatch those scenes it feels like they’re being watched.
Love your humour 😆😅🎉
@lindainkster1969Daeron will clearly betray Ormund. The clean freak, Targaryen hater will drown in dragon poop.
@SoloWonderTravelerThe only people who could kill the gold cloaks are the faceless men
@YoutubeISPROPAGANDAAm I the only one who found episode 5 boring!!?
@shraddhamishra4661This was another great episode. I really enjoyed seeing the vulnerabilities of Aemond and Aegon and their conflicting mommy issues. They each feel that Alicent was more motherly to the other but maybe Alicent was never ready to be a mom when her dad forced her to marry Vicerys.
@DonIzNice1804I need someone like larys to give me a reality check to overcome my mid life crisis
@TrueThamizhaI hate episodes where the needle barely moves. I swear they try to go hard on character exposition while lacking on progressing the story to their own detriment. You can do both. And when it's an epic story like this you need to progress the story significantly every episode. Daemon's city watch murder mystery is going to turn into an unnecessary minor speed bump for the story that will resolve next episode before tumbleron. Criston Cole just needs to die already. Rhaenyra is being pathetic in her wallowing and inaction. We are just waiting for Alicent's judgment day. Super long and boring Aegon story this whole season. Aemond doing what Daemon already did at Harrenhall. Just a boring boring boring episode.
@rks545710:09 “I’m kidding mom, I, I love you please like and subscribe” LMFAO 😂
@YoutubeISPROPAGANDAAbsolutely lost it at Emilia's "BEST SEASON EVAH" and the T2 clip, bravo. And any wonder that we get an entertaining episode with good pacing for once, when it's one not written by Hess/Condal? Color me unsurprised.
@evilsa1ntdaeron in the show reminds me of tommen in the show. both of them are actually good people but surrounded by the worst influences
@maggyfrogHow did a small group of high tower loyalists wipe out the city watch and still have the time to display their bodies and prop them up like a serial killer tableau?
@wesleyc8101not a fan of the ai slop i won’t be returning
@barnacle-18967Right 😢 they promoted this season like they were done talking and they actually delivered on the premier, but then immediately reverted back to the formula .... the real housewives of Westeros .
@matthewshafer9545its impossible for Aegon to be the father of Helana's baby bc he spent a year recovering in Kings landing alone
@OGkushdude420Isn't what Ormund and the Greens doing (bunkering within civilian towns/structures and using innocents as shields) essentially what HAMAS is and has been doing -- With Israel taking the bait and bombing them anyway?
I'm not saying which is right or wrong I'm just seeing similarities and wondering if anyone else did lol
Mysaria’s complete lack of Rizz moves neither my soul to dance, my heart to sing eye to roll nor my loyns to whatever
@CotLatin4321You lost me with the AI
@SerKermittheFrogYou don't get to jab at GRR when your show is noticeable worse than the original works. But I guess they think leaning on feminist woman powaa will save them in the end. Knowing Hollywood, I'm sure they'll fail upward quite nicely.
@limitedhangoutliveLOL I literally was telling my dad during the episode how EMO Christen Cole is 😂
@Nursegirlmia1998Vine para ver por arriba si habia sucedido algo interesante ya, pero veo que todavía siguen pelotudeando. Que mierda de serie por dios
@CristianCastro-OAThis season has just been killing it for me. This is quintessential Game of Thrones! It was always the political intrigue of the series that held me. The awesome intimated scenes between two characters with memorable dialogue; Ned and Robert, Lady Olenna and Tywinn, Varys and Tyrion, even Jaime and Bron! I know the big action set piece is coming to cap the season but it's these filler episodes that made me fall in love with the series in the first place! More! More! MORE!
@Bronwyn031I was 100% down with the Greens, but Cole's actions are beyond the pale. Domestic terrorism is never okay.
@paulraines9635Most mid episode ive ever seen
@Obi-WanKenobi...these episodes are boring
@meowpeep385Ok I admit I only know of GOT and HOTD from watching the HBO series but can someone tell me… is all the background extensive detailed history of Westeros are from the books??
@dalovelee333Alys the witch switched sides cause she didnt get Harenhall, why not just kill Aemond now to get it?
@laypatel4225No they’re making us wait two more weeks for tumbleton. That’s how they always structure these arcs with penultimate eps as climax. Are you slow?
@HustleDosRhaneyra should be more cautious about the gold cloaks massacre. They're the best men she have in King's Landing and Daemon is thr omly one holding them together right now.
@Bill_Cipher-l6jthe traitor must be corlys or hugh
@YamagamiShinryuDoes Daemon know he got the bootleg Daeron yet? Or did I miss it?
@0112jesseCriston cole is so cringe bruh 😂
