HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Episode 5 BREAKDOWN! Game of Thrones Easter Eggs You Missed!

welcome back to New rockstars I'm Eric. Boss and this is a breakdown of House of. the Dragon episode 5 where the green. wedding ends with a white knight cap and. a series of fumbles by losing it on the. sidelines. as always this episode was filled with. subtle visual details and deeper layers. of meaning so let's break down. everything you might have missed the. opening credit sequence continues to. evolve slightly Episode by episode this. week the bloodline that branches forth.

from Allison's dial compared to the. single Branch last week now splits into. two branches Allison does have multiple. children currently aegon and Helena and. soon more kids like Eamonn and then. Darren next week when this show jumps. ahead 10 years we will meet some of. these the episode opens at runestone the. home of house Royce in the veil of Aaron. where we finally meet Ria Royce AKA. Damon's wife whom he has called his. bronze which now we see is for her. literal bronze armor Royce's armor is. stamped with runes AKA runestone to mark.

their descendancy from the first men to. get these specific runes the customer. pulled them directly from the Codex. runicus an animal skin manuscript from. the year 1300 one of the oldest and best. preserved texts of scallion law scalian. referring to an old dialect from. present-day Swedish her cousins sir. Gerald Royce carries a unique sword now. depending on Gerald's relationship with. the family this may be the Valerian. steel sword of house Roy's lamentation. which does play an important role in the. hands of Sir Willem Royce in the coming. civil war the Royce house words are we.

remember so what Damon does may come. back to haunt him Gerald asks what's. today's Quarry rabbit dear. fine challenge so Ria is on a stag hunt. just like viserys and Rainier were but. instead of a white heart she finds a. white fart blocking her path Demon's. hooded appearance makes him look like. the stranger who represents death and. gets a shout out at the end of this. episode Ria says we'll have you at last. come to consummate our marriage the veil. shape might be willing even if I'm not.

our sheep are prettier after all so word. travels fast from Damon's line in a. small council meeting in episode one in. the veil Minister said to sheep instead. of women I can assure you the Sheep are. prettier now thanks to vesi for. sponsoring this video House of the. Dragon makes it perfectly clear that. being a Targaryen ain't all it's cracked. up to be yeah there's dragons but. there's also a lot of betrayal and. Intrigue and pretty intense battles and. like gross sex look if it were me and if. I was gonna be sloshing through the.

battlefield drench or the blood of my. enemies I'd rather be certain that my. feet stay dry so I would rather be. wearing my vessies Bessie is here to. keep you looking good while keeping your. feet dry besties are the perfect. everyday shoe they're sustainably made. knit sneakers that are 100 waterproof. they are made with this diamond text. material that's super easy to clean with. just a rinse of water no I spilled water. all over my pizza my Oinky oinkies are. bone dry like the densies thanks Messi.

so if the weather is wet or if it's. muddy besties can help you besties are. my go-to shoes by my door check them out. in the link below for a pair of your own. Bessie shoes Damon Spooks this horse and. it's almost by chance at Rhea's fall. paralyzes her later on Raines justifies. this by saying the gods are cool the. gods and the humans who act like they're. Gods now there's only one quick mention. of Ria's death in the text of Fire and. Blood there came a tragic mishap of the. sort that shapes the destiny of Kingdoms. the bronze Burr of runestone Lady Ria.

Royce thou former horse whilst Hawking. and cracked her skull upon a stone. showrunner Ryan condo interpreted that. to mean Damon must have murdered her. though we still do not see the actual. death on screen and notice that Damon. does not say a single word in this. sequence just as he didn't say anything. in the final sequence of episode three. like then it remains a mystery what his. true motives are and not saying anything. makes him even deadlier in a weird way. but Rhea does kind of invite this. killing I knew you couldn't finish a. knowing jab at Damon's impotency the man.

truly does have a problem finishing now. by the way if the shooting location. looks familiar it is the same pass in. Derbyshire in England where they shot. The Princess Bride scene where the. princess and Wesley roll down the hill. again on viserys the ship we follow a. close-up of the royal puke bucket which. viserys waves off but then wretches. anyway Lionel strong we learn has been. promoted for a master of laws to hand to. the king and like all hands of the king. the hand wipes viserys's body has sort. of become a Harbinger for the health of. the entire realm like he has contained. all the rod inside of his body up until.

this point yet when he dies you know. that brought it's gonna spread to. everyone. Otto hightower's men depart King's land. be marked with the Hightower Sigil of a. watchtower despite the rain Otto ditches. The Carriage to just set out on. Horseback I assume to put on a dramatic. show after getting sacked fine I'll. leave and I'll get myself pneumonia. you'll notice Otto's saddle shows the. Watchtower Beacon burning green which. gets explained later this episode the. beacon on the high tower. do you know what color it glows when Old. Town calls its Banners To.

walk green green fire almost certainly. means Wildfire which the maesters of The. Citadel in Old Town likely would have. helped craft brew the Old Town leaders. to give their calls to war a unique. verdigree now I may be wrong but in the. text house Hightower sigil description I. don't think ever mentions the flame. being green it's just kind of a. watchtower with a flame but of course. Allison's green dress is a hugely. significant gesture that goes on to. Define this whole faction in the coming. civil war the Hightower is considered. the greens because of this moment but.

this show goes further to retcon the. color green as part of her family war. cry before that so now this is really. Allison deliberately siding with house. Hightower against House Targaryen and it. could be that seeing the green flame on. her father's saddle as it left King's. Landing could have inspired that choice. Otto warns his daughter a different era. succeeds in war will follow do you. understand. the realm will not accept her and to. secure her claim she'll have to put your. children to the sword she'll have no. choice yeah the way Rhys iPhone's growls.

War hairs with the torch fire behind. them so that it looks like he is. breathing fire into his daughter with. this advice this episode's title is we. like the way the words of house. Hightower words that do not get. explicitly spoken this episode only. implicitly with fashion choices and here. in this moment Otto instilling in his. daughter that beacon-esque leadership on. driftmark viserys's Carriage approaches. the valarian castle high tide rolling. down this paved Causeway this Causeway. win at his high tide is the only way you. can reach that castle and notice how the.

castle roofs are beaten silver in order. to shine in the Sun and make this Castle. easier to locate from Dragon back up in. the air viserys arrives to find Lenor. and Joffrey lawnmuth sparring in the. yard but no Corliss to greet him lyanna. shows up and says Corliss is in the Hall. of nine named for the treasures Corliss. is acquired over his nine voyages inside. these helmeted skulls are on display. play and it looks like there are exactly. nine of them maybe trophy skulls of a. pirate that cordless kills on each of. those voyages I would say they could be. his ancestors but no the valerians bury.

their dead rulers at Sea now the music. underneath all this at least evokes it's. always summer Under the Sea AKA. shireen's song the creepy song that. Stannis baratheon's daughter heard from. the patchface boy on Dragonstone back in. book two of Clash of Kings many believe. this song's cryptic lyrics predicted. events to come in A Song of Ice and Fire. and the traumatized patch face boy. saying these words to creepily talk. about when he nearly drowned this song's. context and its connection with prophecy. makes it perfect music for viserys here. a wannabe Prophet feeling like he is.

being dragged into the depths of the sea. much like his doomed Kingdom of valyria. was back in the godswood of the red keep. Lara strong greets Allison novelist. rare bloom. indigenous to Bravos Yeah by All Rights. it shouldn't be thriving here. nature. such mystery a compliment to Allison. does an outsider thriving in the red. keep Hubert Hightower actually later. Echoes this metaphor I worried that.

given leave of your father's Shadow you. might Wither in King's Landing son. but you stood tall but hot guys. hilarious spilled some tea the grand. Masters delivered a tea to the. princesses. tea yes and We Know lyrics loves to goss. because in episode 3 he voluntarily. joined the women in the tent to be part. of that tea party now along with that. row of skulls and corliss's throne room. we see that he has his own dollhouse. model the way viserys does of Illyria. his collections also include the mask of.

kragus the crab feeder which one of the. directors confirmed to me was inspired. by the mask of the sons of the heartbeat. rainiest arrives and grabs viserys's. rotting hand causing him to wince Eve. best does a great job showing some. Mental Math of how long Leonor and. raniera would have to Wed in bed before. a succession crisis created by viserys. death would kick in viserys allows any. kids born of renera and Leonor to Bear. the name of valerion upon birth at first. but he says the firstborn must take the. name Targaryen when they ascend to the. Iron Throne which Corliss and renice. agreed to probably because they know.

viserys will be dead at that point and. they'll have more freedom to sway what. name the new monarch takes rhaenyra and. Leonor speaking code about their. appetites in rhemara proses that they. marry but with a discreetly open. relationship after rainis returns from. viserys she washes her hands something. not commonly done in this whole. unsanitary world but it signals that she. totally senses his coming death rattle. loud and clear and Randy's warns that. Bloodshed is inevitable knives will come. out but her her husband and for their. heirs remember Otto similarly warned. Allison that children would be put to.

the sword but rainy says knives not. swords as her concern is that young. princes and princesses won't be attacked. by Soldiers with swords necessarily but. perhaps a more treacherous more intimate. attack as gets into that in the trailer. footage for this season but coreless. reasons our house controls the Rams Navy. e and half its dragons so far the series. has shown us the dragons of Cyrax and. caraxis and one scene of sea smoke also. a new drag in this episode but overall. it's just a reminder that the valerians. control half of the overall Dragon power. in Westeros leonor's lover is Joffrey.

AKA The Knight of kisses seen at his. side during the stepstones war council. in episode 3 he says think of the. tournament with the feasts the battles. at Sea his mention of the tournament. alerts some book readers because Environ. blood it's at the tourney when Kristen. attacks shopry so this show totally. surprises Us by moving it up to the. pre-whiting Beast sir Kristen approaches. Rainier on the sail back with his armor. removed as renyra did to him that first. night they hooked up he mentioned. support of sunspear with ships filled. with oranges and cinnamon heading to. essos sunspears the seed of Dorne at the.

southern tip of Westeros but rhaenyra. turns down Christian's proposal to run. away with him I am the crown. Justin. the iron throwing moons larger than me. know larger than anyone in my family. like in the Conqueror United Seven. Kingdoms and put them on a path which is. interesting because Renee used to be a. girl eager to flee responsibility and. eat lemon cakes for the rest of her life. but now she mentions aegon the Conqueror. suggesting viserys's lectures about.

aegon's Song of Ice and Fire inscribed. into the dagger have sobered her to the. weight of her Duty Allison summons sir. Kristen to ask if there was some truth. to Rainier and Damon but sir Christian. dull confesses to sleeping with her. himself I would ask only this. rather than gelding me and having me. tortured you would sentence me massively. to death despite the text of this moment. focused on Kristen's willingness to die. we focused on Allison's face actress. Emily Carey conveying her betrayal that. Ranier would lie to her in the godswood.

remember rhaenyra swore on her mother's. Soul over that in viserys's chamber. there's some close-ups of old valyria. model we see that City surrounding. viserys as he lies gasping weakly. sinking into his chair as if he is. sinking with that Kingdom into the sea. the younger maester Orwell says if I'm a. grand maester I took the liberty of. preparing a fresh set of purple. poultices that might be more. effective that will not be necessary or. a while the leachings have always.

brought his grace relief but Melos. denies an alternative herbal remedy. instead preparing these medieval. leechings just another example of the. maesters of Old Town accelerating the. King's death either by incompetence or. by Design viserys speculates on how he. will be remembered since he never fought. or conquered or suffered a defeat it. hardly makes a good shot. we sound good feet 100 years. 500. by wondering what kind of man he'd. become had he been tested in a crucible. viserys unwittedly makes an argument in. favor of living one's life removed from.

the concern of Legacy that if people. tell stories about your life a hundred. years from now it really means that your. life was filled with drama and if you're. a ruler a lot of people likely suffered. as a result of that drama there's just. something to be said for living a boring. life yet as viserys falls asleep in the. milk of the poppy we cross dissolve into. the clouds and Dragons it's almost as if. viserys is drifting into another Dragon. dream and that is one way he will be. remembered viserys the dreamer it was. his dreams and his indecision over what. they meant that really best defines his. legacy we see these two dragons soaring.

toward King Landing land horse dragon. sea smoke we met in episode three and. this new one this is raynice's Dragon. melees a sea dragon with Scarlet scales. and pink membranes on the wings but also. they added streaks of gold as if to show. how the queen Who Never Was deserves a. Golden Crown but never received one sir. Harold westerlane announces the wedding. in attendees starting with the. Lannisters Jason linster leading that. group and his brother Thailand minister. to his side Jefferson Hall plays both of. these brothers and you can see how they. use VFX to double his face and map it on. to Thailand renera with rubies in her.

hair finds a way to insult Jason's Pride. thank you Lou Jason I could think of no. better man than Selena. sir Gerald Royce Cuts in front of the. high Towers but both are cut off by the. arrival of the valarians as laying our. steps forward there is a shot from the. throne's point of view showing sir. Kristen in the bottom right hand corner. throwing his head back in agony and. frustration then Damon crashes the party. and right after visery signals for a new. seat to be added the shot frames. rhaenyra to be perfectly lined up with. the Iron Throne as if to say through.

Damon will ultimately be her path to. acquiring and securing that Throne also. notice that at the end of the table. Damon now places directly across from. Lena so these two are seated directly. looking at each other able to make eyes. then Allison interrupts The King's. Speech with her show-stopping arrival. wearing Hightower green and while most. see this as scandalous the guests from. house Hightower immediately stand up. proud Hoover with a wide grin actually. when Allison first stood in that doorway. she now most aligned with the Iron. Throne showing how for her this has. heard her most Regal and while everyone.

in this Hall stands for the queen Damon. remains seated the whole time even as. she passes by viserys continues with the. speech how he hopes to us her in a. second age dragons which gets a round of. applause but notably not from baymen to. valarian that's corliss's brother who. argued against Damon's Dragon tactics in. episode 3 and not from Hobart Hightower. who is the Lord of all Town only has a. begrudging respect for Dragon power in. Westeros as they dance the bride and. groom say I was never much of a dancer. it's not much different to combat I.

shall hope for a different outcome. foreshadowing the way this wedding dance. will transform into bloody combat but. also following the motif of a dance of. the Dragons which is the term or the. Civil War as hober tells Allison that. hold down stands with her in the bottom. left corner you can see Damon staring. daggers into her back sir Gerald. approaches Damon to accuse him of. killing Ria but Damon says he plans to. petition Lady Jane Aaron for his. inheritance of runestone Lady Jane love. an important role to play in the. upcoming conflict Damon and leina make. eyes at each other and meet on the Dance. Floor has anybody ever told you you're.

nearly as pretty as your brother Leona's. gold necklace pattern looks a lot like. the interlocking Circles of the necklace. that Damon gave Ranier in I'm pretty. sure that's by Design Joffrey lawnmount. deduces from Kristen's longing stairs. that he must be Rainier a side piece and. he tells him that we should swear to. each other to God then and their secrets. because if those are kept safe. and so we all. [Music]. so what just happened in this close-up.

was it Joffrey passing Too Close. requiring Kristen to move his sword did. Joffrey brushed his hand past Chris's. ton in a suggestive manner to try to. close off the loose ends up the square. sir Harwin break bone strong tries to. dance with renira but Damon Cuts in but. Damon and Ranier are now openly. challenge each other in Valyrian a. language that you gotta imagine at least. some of the Valerian cousins will know. they're doing this in plain sight of. everyone even viserys spots them through. the crowd when Damon forcefully grabs. her head before they disappear behind. all the other dancers this episode then.

pulls an awesome bait and switch with. the sudden screams which we assume at. first come from renera or a woman. watching something horrible happening to. her but nope it is Sir Kristen going ape. on the night of kisses again in the. text this fight takes place in the. tournament days after this when Kristen. hits Joffrey in the helm with Morning. Star and puts him in a coma for six days. until he dies the fact that it happens. here isn't just a surprise to book. readers it's a stain on the wedding of. Ranier and Lenor in Bloodshed between. nights and early factions of the Civil. War lion all strong wordlessly signals.

to brake bones to go retrieve renera and. Brake modes plows through this crowd. ultimately throwing Rainier over his. shoulder and rushes her out you could. also read this as a non-verbal go-ahead. from Lord strong for his son to make a. move on this princess in other ways at. least that might be how brake bones. interpret it Kristen caves in Joffrey's. face and we won't show you but we can't. show you this woman behind sir Kristen. who upon looking at John's face nearly. faints and Lenor Reveals His True. affections and his response to Joffrey. [Music].

yeah notice Joffrey's hand totally moved. on its own there so the guy may still be. alive at least barely for this final. moment or maybe it's just rigor mortis. either way the name Joffrey will remain. important to Leonor for years to come so. instead of a wedding ceremony seven days. after this viserys decides to move it up. to that night before the mess is even. cleared you may be reacting to the. nosebleed you got during this couple not. sure whether he has hours to live or not. so the septum praise. of a warrior Smith.

Maiden Chrome. stranger yes he's gonna his Warrior Is. Spoken right over the shot of Sir. Kristen unsheathing his sword in the. godswood making this both a wedding. prayer and a funeral prayer but Alison. stops sir Kristen from killing himself. though you'll notice Allison also. appears at Rainier's side during the. wedding vows so even though the editing. makes it seem like it's happening at the. same time this moment the godswood must. have happened before the ceremony and. Allison has already forged a new. relationship with sir Kristen before. that wedding scene and done so behind. we're near his back the king collapses.

again and as they attend a viserys. Joffrey's blood remains pulled up on the. floor in the foreground and a rat crawls. up to slurp it up a vampire rat I guess. because it's ignoring the bounties of. food on all the tables still remember we. saw rats in the red keep last episode in. the teeth of balerion skull and on the. bedpost looking down at Allison and like. those rats this rat represents the rot. that is now spreading and spreading in. this house like the rat in the final. shot of Martin scorsese's The Departed. this world does not really belong to the. living ultimately but to the Scavengers. who have to pick up the pieces after. these self-interested a-holes kill each.
