So Daemon was choking Rhaneyra and he lets go and she's all..."He never told you." like that justifies the choke. I didn't understand that part at all.

The dragon was Lord Corlys's brother's dragon.

Nope.
Given the size of that dragon and the response to his song, this can only be Vermithor, who was King Jaehaerys’ dragon — something the show’s Twitter account confirmed. (Silverwing, who Daemon mentions is coiled up with Vermithor, is Jaehaerys’ wife’s dragon — love is real.) He is described in the book as a bronze dragon with “great tan wings,” already large when Jaehaerys was accepted as his rider. By the time we meet him here at the start of the Dance of the Dragons, he’d be about 100 years old.

Yes, it's Vermithor. I watch on closed caption because I sometimes don't understand what they are saying and I remember when Daemon starts singing and the dragon sits up or whatever. Closed Captioning said something like "Vermithor: Growling", so it's definitely Vermithor.

So are the dragons locked in the dragon pit? Or can they come/go at will?

I don’t think they can come and go.

so that big dragon just hides out down there indefinitely? how does he eat? no exercise? how huge are the dragon pits that they have enough space for so many giant dragons?

PETA would be concerned.

Help me process this!

LOL. “Traumatized”?

But the incest, rape, etc are ok?

I’ll take a head sliced in half over foot fetish masturbation every time.

HOTD doesn’t really say, but I know in GOT they eventually had to contain Dany’s dragons because they were eating all the livestock.

I thought it was the brothel/house of the "white worm" or whoever that lady was who had kept Aegon hostage for that short period of time. So confusing.

I found this whole episode to be confusing. I didn't remember the Erryck twins - why would they tell Aegon his grandfather would meet him outside the city wall? To lure him to his grandfather?

Literally no idea why that building was burning at the end.

Could use a TINY bit more exposition with Helena? Is she straight up nuts or what?

No Rhaenyra in this episode - total disappointment.

I think they should have had Rhaenys burn Aegon, et al and let Aemond survive and he can battle it out. In the after the episode segment they had the showrunners say that Rhaenys didn't want to kill another mother's son and that's why she didn't burn Aegon. But there's not way Alicent wouldn't have died too, so twofer. Don't care what was in the books.

I'm a little surprised Alicent is such a neophyte at this stage. Say what you will about Cersei Lannister but she surrounded herself with people that would go to bat for her. No one would have planned a usurpation under her nose.

Disagree about Cersei. Perhaps it came more in the books but Cersei’s downfall was that she surrounded herself with yes men and thought her gender was all that was holding her back when really it was her lack of intelligence. Magaery was supposed to be the counterpoint to Cersei an intelligent and capable leader who was also a woman.

And yet Margery got herself burnt up in the Sept of Baelor. I said what I said.

I’d rather get burnt up then to get all of my kids killed and then die crushed by rubble.
