:hallo:

that was a lot to take in!

I feel like they could've done a better job explaining some things, and some of it wouldn't even have needed clunky exposition. Like I didn't really know whose kids were whose til at least halfway through the ep which made that dragon pit scene very confusing. All they really needed was a quick scene with Rhaenrya and Alicent with their families before that, seems like it would've been a simple fix

Snot nosed punk Aegon's gonna be a fun char I think

Larys was the standout of the ep though, really like that actor's performance. Kind of like a Littlefinger but with a bit more menace. Although another thing I think they could've explained better is...how...exactly those mute guys scorched his dad/brother? That felt p hand wave-y to me

New Rhaenrya is fine. We'll see how she is when she gets more to do tho, she was mostly in concerned mother mode this ep

Liking Cooke as Alicent so far. Although maybe a shade too similar to Cersei so far, hope they start fleshing her out a bit more than "I do everything for my keedz"

Considine as Viserys continues to be so great lol. I loved his innocent happiness at Rhaenrya's proposal during the small council scene. His heart is far too pure for this world, how is this dude a Targaryen

Agreed with Boc

Damn, I've been really enjoying Lyonel. Harwin was p cool too

Good ep. Seeing Criston as such a dick these days was so weird

Dumbest part of the ep was what's her name teleporting way too far away from the 'doctors' and Daemon to get to her dragon lol. They could've done that a lot better

I also would've liked to see one scene with Larys and his father and brother to show maybe why he would've been okay with....burning them alive. Or even if they didn't mistreat him or anything (to show how truly fucked up of a person he is) it still would've been nice to see them together at least one time. Kinda lessons the impact of what he did since we never saw them interact iirc

him and the brother interacted for a split second during the previous episode right before Daemon went apeshit at the wedding

it was some quick line of like "Hey look what is she wearing" and then "Oh shit it's GREEN!"

that's not enough for you Curt!?!??!

wow you are hard to please!

I remember that Daemon apeshit wedding moment fondly

can't believe Daemon got to stay in the kingsguard after that outburst!

What DID Daemon have against poor Joffrey anyway!

I enjoyed the episode, a lot more than the last, but I also have needless nit picks. Aka random thoughts. And negative feelings carried over from last episode.

So the episode starts with them removing all sympathy for Alicent. Okay...

Did they really give Rhaenyra three children without white hair? You'd think her talk about duty all these past episodes would extend to ensuring her husband's house would even want to defend her claim by producing children that looked like him. She seemed a character that meant what she said in regards to duty, ie having his children. So wouldn't the character be more careful and deliberate so that at least her first child was for sure his?

lol Cole hasn't been tortured, mutilated, or killed after publicly committing murder and assaulting the heir's now husband last episode?!?? How about a prison work camp? The Wall? Anything?

"Then I won't challenge--" "YOU ARE THE CHALLENGE!!@#@$!"

Maybe you could've gone about this another way, Alicent. Not making the future ruler hate your living guts could've been a good start.

I miss the original Rhaenrya, and a lot, unfortunately. :(

I loved Daemon lounging about attempting to enjoy his days as he sees fit. Laena Velaryon was one of the highlights of the episode. :heart:

GAGGED when guards pulled whatshisface off of beating Cole. It makes the last episode look even worse. Then you learn "He's been expelled from the city watch." While Cole, the murderer, stands at the door, not charged or punished for his PUBLIC MURDER. :lol: Frick, man. The early episodes were on par with the early seasons of Game of Thrones. You didn't need your wedding scene if you wanted him in future episodes.

After this episode, why care about Alicent or Rhaenyra? Am I supposed to feel bad Rhaenrya lied to you once after you betrayed your friendship, slept with her father, and became her step mother? And why care about Rhaenrya? She was to be the first woman to rule the iron throne, and knew what she had to do to even hope to avoid a revolt, and she... has three children that aren't her husbands?!?

lol is Bran the freaking rat?
