I know, but Rhaegar was trying to fulfill the PTWP prophecy. We know this since the House of the Undying chapter in ACOK. It is also strongly hinted that Aegon the Conqueror and his sisters were motivated by prophecy in their conquest of Westeros, look it up.

[INT. RED KEEP - PRIVATE CHAMBER - NIGHT]
The room is dimly lit by a few flickering candles. LARYS STRONG, with his cane, stands by the window. CRISTON COLE enters, his armor clinking softly.

Larys: (without turning) Ser Criston, what brings you here?

Criston: (angrily) Your behavior toward Queen Alicent is unacceptable.

Larys: (turning, smirking) Inappropriate? You seem quite possessive of her.

Criston: She is the queen and deserves respect, not your lecherous glances.

Larys: (mocking) Respect? Or your obsessive protection?

Criston lunges at Larys. With surprising speed and strength, Larys sidesteps and trips Criston with his cane, sending him sprawling to the floor.

Larys: (calmly) Temper, temper.

Criston scrambles to his feet, but Larys is already upon him, striking him down with a single blow. Criston falls hard, groaning in pain. Larys pins him down with his cane.

Larys: (coldly) You see, Ser Criston, you are not as formidable as you think.

Criston struggles but is unable to move, humiliated and powerless.

Larys: (leaning in, whispering) The queen’s feet belong to me.

Larys releases Criston, who lies on the floor, gasping for breath, eyes filled with a mix of fear and humiliation.

Larys: (smirking) Remember your place, Ser Criston.

Larys turns and walks away, leaving Criston on the floor, defeated and humiliated.

Why are the writers acting like they need to force in interactions between Rhaenyra and Alicent, acting like they’d never see each other again. Rhaenyra will have literally taken King’s Landing before the end of the season, so they could have just had this stupid “oh ooooops it’s all a silly misunderstanding” conversation then.

Also, isn't this the third time someone has snuck into King’s Landing? Writers are treating like Dragonstone like it’s 2 miles away or something by rowboat or something.

It's kind of remarkable how the showrunners seems compelled to present the most boring version of this story possible.

HotD should be way more soapy, way more lurid, and way more dragon-filled.

Instead it's all way to serious, like nobody on the creative side knows they are making a tv show about dragons and witches and think they are adapting Henry the 5th

This applies for the Green faction as well, though. If the Blacks claim the throne, then the Greens are in danger because they're legitimate and not bastards, which means that they're family line will always have a stronger claim than any Black Faction King sitting on the throne. The only way for the Blacks to secure the throne would be by killing or exiling the Greens.

By trying to make the Greens clearly in the wrong, they made the mistake of making them the only interesting, flawed, human characters. The Blacks have absolutely nothing going on for them. Whorenyra is being framed as a sensible, wise leader out of nowhere, like she's not at least partly responsible for things to reach that sorry state. Even Daemon seems boring now, somehow.

Or the Greens, whom also have a stronger claim to the throne than Jace and Luke.
Irregardless, the Green Faction HAD to take action or they're very lives were in danger. This is literally the reason why Criston Cole convinces Aegon II to seize the throne.

Rhaenyra will capture Aegon in Kings Landing but allow him to flee to Essos or something, and Aegon going to Dragonstone instead will be some massive Season 4 betrayal reveal

Right, but that's stupid. Aegon II's only claim is that a son comes before a daughter, which is true regardless of whether Jace/Luke/Joff are bastards. Rhaenyra has two unquestionably legitimate sons in Aegon and Viserys, so the Hightower kids are not a threat to her sons. No one is going to accept Rhaenyra as queen, reject Jace on the grounds that he's a bastard, and then skip over Aegon the Younger in favor of Aegon the Elder

Daemon and Jace. Daemon may not love him but at least his death offended him and made him furious. He wanted to find Aemond even before Rhaenyra told him to.

I agree, but the idea that the Hightower kids are a threat to Jace doesn't make logical sense. If you accept Rhaenyra as queen, then either Jace is legitimate and her heir, or he's a bastard, and it's Aegon the Younger. There's no way that Jace being a bastard makes Aegon the Elder king

These are the kinds of problems that you solve when you actually are forced to sit down and write a novel instead of outlining using a fake history book format, which is all HotD is. This is why HotD is dumb and will continue to be dumb. It will be a collection of epic moments and cool scenes that are a mile wide but only an inch deep. Very little of it will ring true or stick with the audience. Very little of it will be worth re-watching. And it's because it's adapted from a dying fat man's half-baked ideas that he didn't iterate on the way that he iterated on the previous ASoIaF books. He never connected these dots.

>>200729022
Yeah, I'm not the anon saying it, I think if people accepted Rhaenyra they would be fine with Jace, especially since Jace gets most of them on her side and none of those care about them being bastards or not, they want to marry their relatives to them or their children. The bastard issue is a political thing, only people who (pretend to) care do it because they want to justify siding with Greens. So I don't think the Green kids would have been a threat necessarily, in some alternate world Aegon would be chilling with king Jace and they'd eventually marry their children to each other and no one would have a problem with it.

Neither family is at risk and can probably even intermingle in a generation's time if they're lucky If they're a united house there's no fear of turning against one another, Interlopers can eat shit. Ironically that's probably the only benefit and probably the sole reason come to think of it for all the intermarriage. There's no outsider families talking in anyone's ear about trying to make good on being slightly more inbred than your cousin.

you misunderstand. GRRM's point is that all leaders are bad because humans are selfish (what was aragorn's tax policy) and when the times of plenty occur is not under anyone's control (winter is coming).

it's not actually a surprise that he's struggling to finish the series because he's subverted his way out of any of the usual satisfying narrative options.

The accent did sound American but at this point does it really matter? The worldbuilding is completely non-sensical. They went back to racism of Cristin Cole's slightly dusky appearance from the pilot meanwhile 10% of the characters are inexplicably black - like straight off the boat from the Summer Islands - and nobody bats an eye.

They did it because they are trying to make Alicent and Rhaenyra both morally good and the protagonists when Rhaenyra doesn't do anything all war but suck and die, and Alicent doesn't do anything after Aegon is crowned. And even then they had to inflate her importance by giving Cole's speech to her.

Bullshit. Even in the very book that HotD is based on, a character screams because she encounters a black person and think it's a demon. Summer Islanders were consistently noted for their "skin color" in much the same way that they were oddities in every other culture. Stop projecting your gay modern "post racial" sensibilities on a fantasy story based on a time period where we know exactly how everyone felt about race and why.

Yeah I think people overstate the bastard thing. If Rhaenyra, Laenor, Viserys and Corlys all say they're Laenor's kids and their eggs hatched and they all have dragons no one's going to give a flying fuck unless it's political ammo for people already against Rhaenyra.

"What was Aragorn's tax policy" is not at all about being selfish.

No he's still a vindicative asshole and him hating Rhaenyra for rejecting/neglecting him is a logical narrative. The problems with show Cole are:
1. He's a clumsy, impulsive moron. He kills Laenor's lover in the middle of a wedding while in the book he does it as a tournament. He accidentally kills beesbury in a fit instead of actively assassinating him. He's constantly commiting blunders and strangely enough is never punished for it.
2. He isn't half as active a player as he is in the book. He's called Kingmaker for a reason, he's supposed to be a major influence in Aegon's desire to rule. In the show he's just a bodyguard simp who happens to hate Rhaenyra and seems afraid to be in a position of power.
3. The writers hate him. There's too many invented and modified situations that make him look worse. Blood and cheese was rewritten to be his fault by negligence. And the Erryk plan became an extension of his pettiness. It's distracting how artificial and forced these scenarios are.

It embarrasses the people making the show. They see it as a racial caricature of sorts. To do anything afro-centric requires an almost religious-like reverence. That's why when the Wakanda negro died they over-reacted and retired the character.

Culturally we are still processing through the first three stages of grief as it pertains to coping with the inherent futility of a post-racial humanity. This is mostly denial. It remains to be seen if we will survive past "anger" but if we do the rest of it should be a lot easier.

This is the kind of shit GRRM would have labored over for months and eventually threw out half of a book because he realized "it just doesn't work". This is why you don't create shows based on a man's notes. Go back and read the original outline for the first Game of Thrones book. It's nothing like it ended up being because in the process of connecting the dots you have to change so much. You realize things dont work. These writers aren't adapting finished novels where some fat guy already did the heavy lifting. They're working off of a collection of "cool ideas", which is all HotD is.

The big plot twist was hur dur he meant the other Aegon. Suck my nuts, show.

There's a difference because those are usually under some terms of diplomacy or parlay whereas Rhaenyra literally snuck into the city and even held her at knifepoint even. Like I can believe Alicent might just be fucking checked out from now on, she seems pretty done since Blood and Cheese and now that she knows she technically started this all over a lie, she's not going to literally call for Rhaenyra's death. But they're totally different situations, nobody would say it's ignoble to take the enemy prisoner when they infiltrate your land under no terms of negotiation.

It's not that any female character is "checked out". It's the the female writers and female directors maneuver and guide them in a particular way to avoid them being responsible for anything and yet they must behave in a way that outwardly evinces "strength" and "power" while also ringing true on an emotional level to women. Meanwhile, male viewers are annoyed or if they have fallen for gaslighting, they assume they're dumb.
