Shit up the board with another faggot thread, great
>>201974145My bro... I hate Dany.Also someone dedicate a thread to Leyton Hightower at some point.
>>201974255Another /pol/bait thread. your grace?
i'm going to use this thread because i don't care to see low quality leaks
>>201974187at this point I think it’s on purpose. some retards having a power struggle or just enjoying several redundant threads.
>>201974331>Go get the breastplate stretcherWhat would you do in this situation?
>>201974414This was made a full 30 seconds before the other one
>>201974427I never understood why this is considered funny. The squire has no opportunity to say anything back. If he says it's bullshit the king just yells at him, if he goes looks for it he gets called an idiot.
>>201974551This is why you have one person to make the threads at a time. Everyone is just pissing off the catalog who don’t care about the show and fracturing the gen.
>>201974603On the upside, it creates a thread for the other to fall back on.And people who don't like it can have it filtered.
>>201974787The other guys thread is an eyesore. If the original anon has quit then I’d rather the OP of this thread continue them.
so the season doesn't end on anything major? no battle? just ppl preparing to go to war AGAIN ??
am I retarded or does it feel like the entire season was written for the rhaenyra alicent shippers? I think it's hot personally, but I hate how everything about the writing had to fucking adjust to the idea that rhaenyra's a good person, and alicent's a lesbian
Sunfyre best boy!
>>201976223yep, absolutely nothinghell it has Rhaena finally find Sheepstealer and not even claim him
>>201976238>We will get a rhaenyra/alicent/mysaria FFF threesome in our lifetimeDon't you dare insult blackchads EVER again
>>201976238No, that's the reason the entire show was made. You can look at every character assassination and if you think about it just a bit it's obvious it's caused by the need to push things toward Rhaenicent.
>>201976223We already knew there would be no battle, since we were promised two this season. Rook's Rest in ep4 was the first, and apparently the Sowing in ep7 was the second.
>dispense justiceohdear
Took a break for a few hours but the gen is in shambles and it’s too stressful to be here. See you when things calm down.
ALICENT GOING TO DRAGONSTONE TO TALK TO RHAENYRA WAS REALALICENT SNEAKING AWAY TO DRAGONSTONE BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO HAVE A GIRL TALK WITH BESTIE RHAENYRA WAS SOMEHOW REALHow the fuck do you even defend this?

>>201976389creatively it made sense to us because we wanted it to happen
>>201976389Sorry I just woke up and apparently I’m the last person on Earth to realize this was leaked last night even, and not even fresh news.
>>201976389it's hopeless
>>201976389Does anyone here actually defend the show? It's slop which is only occasionally (intentionally) entertaining
>>201976584there are several anons that defend the writing in one post, then backpedal and pretend like they already knew it was bad and there’s no point in discussing it.those don’t seem particularly genuine though tho so to answer your question: not here. certainly on twitter or whatever.
>>201974564yes this is how bullying works LOL
>>201976248make sunfyre an onionjak

2 years for this?
>we want to adapt your book >Ok, give me the complete screenplay for all seasons, and if you want to change anything you'll need my approval otherwise I can shittalk you publicly and veto the shows releaseWhy has no writer thought of this yet?

the scene with vermithor was dogshit>let all the candidates cluster so a single shotgun blast of fire takes them all out
>>201977229>Why has no writer thought of this yet?because most writers aren't in the same position as george, they're desperate for the money and will sell off creative control to get it the reason george couldn't do what you suggested and wasn't involved in HoTD was because he has so many other projects demanding his attention
It’s pretty much over at this point

>>201977627based hessbookfags be gone
>>201977699Oh right, oaths. Maybe they just meant he WAS the heir to the Dun Fort? Since being a dragonsneed is a matter of heredity they might have just used it as shorthand for "He's the acknowledged and verified son of the lord of that house".

do you guys think the leaks were intentional?

>TGC breaks out of character and comments on the whole season
2 months ago i made the choice of not watching the season 2 slop out of fear of the garbage writers pushing their non canon trash. Was i correct in my decision??
>>201974427I'd travel to the ruins of Valyria to please Bobby. Maybe Valyrians developed this tech at some point
>>201977848Yes 100%

>>201977882Hess, Hess, it rhymes with best
>>201977848I did the same thing but I follow the threads because they're funny
>>201977878>assuming Helaena won't eloped with Jaceyou'll be in a massive dissapointment, anon.
It is a crying shame they put Beale in a filler character, in a filler storyline, in a filler season. One of the few actually good actors. Fuck it, they could have had him play Viserys
>>201977932>won’t eloped
The only good green is a dead green. Allicent was right to join the winning side.
>>201977946??

>aegon will join the blacks while aemond usurps the throne>It will be aegon who'll be burned and eaten by vhagar>Rhaenyra will then avenge her nephew Greencels, your reaction when this inevitably happens???
Jace is going to deliver Aegon the Younger and Viserys to the Triarchy to get rid of them, but is betrayed
Not reading any of this or other threads to avoid spoilershow much is leaked? the full finale or what?
>>201977980like half of it
>>201977932>won't elopedESL shippers are embarrassing
>>201977949>he’s still playing the color game after the show has gone to shit Give it a rest man
>>201977848just only watch episode 2, 4, and 7and maybe 8 but it’s not looking so good rn
>>201977848Seems to be you made the right choice. I, on the other hand, have not only been watching s2 (didn’t finish ep7 or watch the leak) but I’ve been rewatching GoT currently on s5 and reading the books currently on ACoK.
>>201974145King Vizzy's not looking so good, bros.
>>201977980Most of the important scenes are presumably leaked
>>201977980apparently the entire episode was mistakenly made available for a time but only some parts got posted, it's something like half of it in bits and pieces
>>201977848I still reserved my judgment until I saw the whole episode. The meltdowns due to that vague leaks is childish.
Why would alicent defecting mean somethingShe's just an used up roastie with no lands nor armies

>>201977966Oh right, I forgot about that. I'm not entirely convinced I should spend time on it, but I like the casting for Dunk and Aegon at least.
>>201978031exactly who fucking cares
>>201978031I'm not sure how she was even going to sell out the city to Rhaenyra, she's not in charge anymore.
>>201978017The big dragon orgy didn't happen in the books and was made up by the showrunners, right?
>>201978031>>201978052but the greens are mad about it, obviously they cares
>>201978031It doesn't mean anything in a strategic or even political sense, but she still stabbed her sons in the back.
>"If anything, things have gotten worse. Everywhere you look, there are more screenwriters and producers eager to take great stories and ‘make them their own.’ It does not seem to matter whether the source material was written by Stan Lee, Charles Dickens, Ian Fleming, Roald Dahl, Ursula K. Le Guin, J.R.R. Tolkien, Mark Twain, Raymond Chandler, Jane Austen, or… well, anyone.”>“No matter how major a writer it is, no matter how great the book, there always seems to be someone on hand who thinks he can do better, eager to take the story and ‘improve’ on it,” Martin added. “‘The book is the book, the film is the film,’ they will tell you, as if they were saying something profound. Then they make the story their own. They never make it better, though. Nine hundred ninety-nine times out of a thousand, they make it worse.”>Also I will not be attending the writers' room meeting for SEASON 3 of House of the Dragon.
>>201978031She's lesbian
>>201978031She can use her holes to bring along the Coles.
>>201978031scissoring
>>201978073thats why he is adapting the hedge knight
>>201978031She's the queen dowager and she pushed her son into the role of king. She permanently fought for her kids in S1, had her "rivalry" with Rhaenyra, etc. It's a huge moral and image blow.
>>201978013he'll be fine...
>>201978031I thought her idea was that she'd somehow assume control of the city while Aemond is away attacking Daemon
>>201978031>Why would alicent defecting mean somethingit doesn't mean much to the characters, it means a lot to the audiencea screenplay isn't just about characters interacting with each other, it's also about what kind of conclusions or ideas the viewer formsin this case the desired conclusion behind Alicent's defection is "Alicent finally realizes who the good guys were all along"
I love seeing Allicent on screen cuz she’s so hot but her scenes are 100% skip worthy.
>>201978073He'll keep cashing the checks though...fat fucking faggot will never be Tolkien no matter how hard he seethes.

They won.

And what of good Aegonius?
>>201978178>what happenedcute and shippable characters
ITS UP GAY BOIShttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuT2pU6jvMc
>>201978109I feel it's detrimental to story and audience both They've been marketing the whole show as a Rhaenyra vs. Alicent conflict. It's everywhere, Aegon is an afterthought. So they are fucking that up as wellAs for the story, it's just another bad thing Rhaenyra did erased from it. The brothel queen shit.
>>201977668Ok fed>>201977689Usually film studios buy the adaptation rights right when a series is picking up on popularity and hold onto it for years before making something, of course a new author will take the payout without examining a contract, not that I agree with it but it happens a lot
>>201974145why op not mention the only thing worth discussing

People ignore how utterly nonsensical s01e08 was underneath all the drama>Alicent resents Rhaenyra and plans to install Aegon as heir for 20 years>is constantly nervous that Rhaenyra can kill whoever she wants with impunity because Viserys allows it>this ends up happening to Vaemond and everyone sees it, this should only reinforce Alicent's paranoia>instead Alicent completely forgets all of this and becomes Rhaenyra's #1 supporter because uh Rhaenyra smiled at her during a fake dinner
>>201978363yes, my children
>>201978285Dude wtf is this? These are just poor's man LM Reactionshttps://youtu.be/F81Bz6A4P20?si=i7mFTAp94ZZ0-lrY better
there will not be any rhaenicent scenescondal is merely teasing
Is Aemond gonna snap and burn the riverlands next episode?
Aemond has done nothing wrong except burn Aegon but he was right about everything
>>201978397i love this version of jace
>>201978419no you see its differentLM Reactions are lesbian serbian womenBeth & Jules are lesbian british (?) women
>>201978400the writing started to fall apart towards the end of the first season and 2 was only a steeper decline>"we're both mothers and we both love our children">"I guess we're not so different you and I">pretty much every women in westeros is a mother>also alicent doesn't actually love her children, abandons aegon and is ready to sell him out LOL
>>201978447Nah fuck thatFuck team greenFuck team blackFuck the ratcatchersThere is only Aemond
>>201978447>except burn Aegonhe was in the right here too
This Alicent stuff is retarded. Rhaenyra just sent assassins to murder her infant grandchildren, why would she expect mercy from her? She knew prior to the war that her childrens lives were always in danger because they could pose a threat to Rhaenyra's claim, and now that they've proven that they are a threat she thinks they'll just be allowed to go free as if nothing happened?
>>201978428I doubt it and people greatly exaggerate his actions in the riverlands
>>201978343remember back in episode 2 when aegon suspected orwyle of conspiring to kill his son? Well now he must feel bad about it because in the end orwyle stays loyal to him
>>201978454You groomers need a cold shower after these threads.
>EGGON THE REALM'S DELIGHT
Rhaenyra and alicent scissoring and that Rhaenyra theme is blasting as bgm
LOL
>>201978363>>201978412>I'm afraid, your Grace.>Don't be. They'd be fools to attack us with Vhagar protecting the city.>Not of the dragons.>What then?>The Bees....>Our Lord Hand is an enduring mystery, is he not?
>>201978486that was weird as fuck
>>201978484>groomers?
>>201978447>luke takes out his eye>"I reget that business with luke">aegon makes a few jokes>"yeah kill em"alicent isn't the only one on team green who is a black worshipper
>>201978484The only groomer is Silverwing. Did you see the way she sniffed him into being his rider? Horrifying.
>>201978447there's nothing wrong with killing aegon since he was in Aemond's way and ruining the plan to ambush Rhaenys. He was in the right. Also, aegon was asking for it since he bullied Aemond all this years
>>201978477Um, acktually it was Daemon who sent B&C
the final episode will end with Rhaenyra, Aegon 2, Alicent, Aegon 3 and Jaehaera on the beachs of Dorne suntanning, bodysurfing and sipping on Sunspear Sunrises while Viserys and Otto watch over them from heaven smiling as this plays over the scene and into the credits, it is knownhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_YC6jiDZGI
>>201978031she was introduced as the proper conservative woman for trump lady then we get a scene of her telling the punk rock whore that her way of life is right and pls accept my apology.it's shit fanfic revenge porn self inserting writing.
>>201978460The first sign for me, ignoring Daemon's and Rhaenyra's weird stuff, was Rhaenyra going to her sick father and saying she didn't want the crown anymore and asking him to protect her. Sure, it lead to that neat zombie walk towards the throne, but I was genuinely annoyed at Rhaenyra at that moment.
>>201978533Luke also bullied Aemond and took out his eye if you remember
aggghh...
>>201978499Aegon looking rough here
For me it's how Alicent's tent is some crude Bear Grylls knock up from sticks nearby, and not a proper tent that we have seen Bobby and Viserys use, and that Alicent a pampered princess would have any inclination to slum it
>>201978567Biggest disappointment of GoT. GURM better fix it in the books. If his silly ass ever finishes them, that is...
>>201978559Luke was self-defending and by bully, I assume you mean the pink dread scene? that was aegon's idea
>>201978546Yeah Rhaenyra only went to Viserys when she needed something from him i.e. to uphold her claim, she left him to rot for years while she hid under Dragonstone. Meanwhile the Greens take care of him and they're the bad guys?
>>201978622>the Greens take care of himthey literally poisoned him but ok
>>201978538I'd prefer this ending https://youtu.be/0DeQDv7P3QY?si=lpbkFTKoLbTrnrCD
from what we've seen so far, what region/lord/army has the best looking armours, /got/hotd/?
>>201978596She wants to be far away when Aemond finally kills Aegon, so she had to move quickly. Also, how would a lone Kingsguard knight carry all the comforts of home?On a related note, why didn't her sheer nightgown turn see-through while she was swimming? Total rip-off.
>>201978477Alicent's son killed Rhaenyra's son and Alicent previously tried to stab said son and hit Rhaenyra instead but Rhaenyra then risked her life and that of her other children to beg Alicent for peace, shit was always stupid.
>>201978652okay Daemon
>>201978622I was about to say that Daemon and Rhaenyra immediately went >but teh maaaesterrrrs we read the theories on 4chan! but >>201978652 was faster.
>>201978559Luke was a tiny kid compared to Aemond and was just trying to save his brother.
>>201978614If you join in on bullying...you are also a bullyNot that hard to understand
>>201978652>they literally poisoned him but oknice try, mushroom
>>201976356>Daemon got played by a twelve year old
I take this obsession of trying to tie HOTD with the main story as a lack of confidence in the strength of the source material and their own interpretation of it.If another story set in the same universe can't stand on it's own without being tied to the main plot, well - you shouldn't be making it in the first place.
>>201978622actually show bullshit in the book viserys kept her away and she got her maester to save vis's life while the green maester was useless
>>201978703he was just a kid and didn't know any better, but yeah in the end Aemond forgives him because he understands that Luke never meant to bully him
>>201978708it is obvious as fuck in the show.
So, the whole episode wasn't leaked, right?
>>201976248I'm glad Joffrey mentioned this in GoT so now they can't change it
>>201978762In the show it is obviously leprosy caused by the Iron Throne.
>>201978703imagine crying about being bullied by children half your age
>>201978660Nah. Aegon VII wakes up in bed in The Red Keep next to a pregnant Daenarys and says, "You won't believe the dream I just had! No more milk of the poppy for me before bed..."
>>201978776about 38 minutes worth of clips leaked so around 60% of the episode
>>201978665>lordVelaryons when they were fighting pirates.>armyLannisters
Well there's always the Elden Ring adaptation if we want GRRM kino...
>>201978793go rewatch s1 dummy
>>201978762They gave him a poison that mimics leprosy and takes 20 years to do the job?
>>201978776everything plot relevant got out the rest will be filler anyway
>>201978832you could point out specific examples of poisoning instead of "dude just trust me bro" y'know
>>201978834They kind of forgot to give him proper poison.
>>201978285don't shill your shitty youtube trash here, whore
>>201978832Ok Daemon.It's very not obvious that Otto and Alicent preferred to rule by themselves while Viserys was on milk of the poppy.
>>201978834they wanted him poisoned enough to not sit the throne and rule but not enough to die until they set up the coup.
>Alicent defects to the Blacks
>>201978762what the fuck are you talking about? if anything it's the oppositeDaemon in particular talks a big talk about how he's being poisoned and surely it can't be that bad, but when he actually sees Viserys for the first time he's taken aback and cannot look his brother in the eye because of how much he rotted
>>201978881You think they would have bothered to train Aegon to be a proper king in the meantime.
>>201978897They didn't want him to be a proper king, they wanted him to be an obedient puppet.
>>201978897otto wanted a puppet not a king
>"The city is yours, my Queen. You will hold it for years to come, my sweet. You're the chosen one, and that usurper Aemond will fall before you and your righteous justice."Your reaction when Alicent says this in the show, /tv/?
>>201978897Otto and Alicent didn't want him to be a proper king. Otto just wanted a puppet to control very easily, Alicent didn't really have any longterm plans beyond spiting Rhaenyra.
>>201978904You would think they would have trained him to be a puppet king in the meantime
AYY LMAO
>>201978827Can’t wait for Ranni to be a black queen
>>201978921I'll be too busy hating how Rhaenyra won't give a fuck about Jace's death.
>>201978926>Alicent didn't really have any longterm plans beyond spiting Rhaenyra.That was Cole, Alicent thought Otto was going to control him.
>>201978897but he was a proper king in the book.he is good in the show too. show Alicent and Otto forgetting to do so is a writers issue.
I hope that fat useless fuck sells this shit for some animation studio at some point, is unbelievable how simple it was to just follow a straight line to the story and yet they managed to introduce a lot of bloat while rushing and even cutting major events and character arcs
>>201978827>the tarnished is a black gay man that falls in love with diallos >renalla is abused by radegon's misogyny
ah yes when i see moments like these i truly think to myself "yes this is ASOIAF"
>>201978939They just assumed that if they bully Aegon enough he will do as he's told so nothing else was needed.
>>201978904>>201978918>>201978926Ok but what were they planning to do once Otto died? What about Aemond? Did they take Rhaenyra into account?
>>201978978>dayum, he ain't gonna be in hotd season 3
>>201978881You're the kind of person who would subscribe to the belief that Baelon got killed by the Maesters while George already confirmed appendicitis offed him.
I think Aegon is going to commit suicide as opposed to being poisoned.
>>201978921BROTHEL QUEEN!!!!i'll riot when Sunfyre doesn't eat the smug cunt of dragonstone.
>>201979003The Greens in the show are retarded and don't have any long terms plans beyond just being evil as opposed to Rhaenyra's goodness.
The writters are bad because they can't keep track of their own characters motivations, what they did with the foot queen is enough to drop it really
>>201979003>Did they take Rhaenyra into account?Otto thought the whole realm was going to side with them Because he named the kid Aegon then he gave him the sword and the crown but as you know oaths>symbolism.>>201979033Is not like the book is different when it comes to this.
>>201979003Presumably Alicent and other Hightowers would keep using Aegon/Aemond/Daeron as puppets. They're so used to treating them as pawns with dragons that it doesn't occur to them that they might use said dragons to wield power for themselves, so they're surprised at Aemond doing Aemond things. Otto just figured he'd have Rhaenyra and her children murdered and Alicent figured that, what, she'd keep the children as hostages and keep Rhaenyra confined to Dragonstone or some tower and that would totally be fine?
>>201978363>becomes layrsalicent POVbeesbury
>>201979019Nice theory, too bad there won't be a season 3
>nooo the men are evil for not trusting the woman during a war>said woman betrays the entire cause because of her feelings towards the enemyDid they even mean anything by this?
>>20197880238? I saw 32
>>201979021Are they going to invoke the capeshit handwaving alternate timeline thing?
everything is going according to plan coddbros
>>201979083I hope so, hatewatching this shit is exhausting.
the writers desperately need someone in the writing room to smack their heads when they make a retarded change or miss something that could've been very obviously coolremoving Rhaenyra's "tell my half brother i will have his throne or i will have his head" was asinineending one of the episodes (maybe the final one) on a short clip of Aegon finally managing to get up just as Sunfyre rouses from his sleep at Rook's Rest would've been such an easy bullseyebut whoever makes the decisions of "what is cool" and "what makes good ASOIAF storytelling" in the writing room has really poor taste, they just cut all the interesting stuff and come up with CW tier crap
>>201979083Season 3 already got greenlit by HBO.
>>201979047Aemond is just being told be antagonistic and just do whatever
>>201979092idk but i will not put it past those hacks.
>>201979054That doesn't really explain why Otto gave up after about two weeks over some ratcatchers
>>201979090last thread doesn't have all of them, there's the daemon rhaenyra reunion and the jace baela scene somewhere
GOD I WISH I WERE LUTHOR
>>201979033As opposed to the book, where they had Aemond being a great tactici... oh wait. If I know Condal he will change the Riverlands war crimes a little so you should be happy.
>>201974145Even more ridiculous than Alicent defecting to the other side is that the main reason for this (besides appealing to yassqueening twitter retards) is so that they can make her role easier to manage in the writers room, i have 0 doubts about thatwhat a fucking waste of a characterunexplored, uninteresting, will have next to no presence in S3, and eventually will be killed or written out of the picture in an unceremonious manner
>>201979120Can't shows get cancelled after getting greenlit like the Snow spinoff? It's not even filming yet.
>>201979111the only thin that matters is "what helps progress the Message"
>>201979131Aegon fired his ass because he was too "passive"In the book he also fired him because he was trying to win with diplomacy isolating Rhaenyra for allies but like the other anon said Otto and Alicent thought Aegon and Aemond would just sit there and not exercise their power.
she's monstrous
>>201979092If so, the interesting thing about it would be that essentially all events are massively influenced by greenseers and potentially glass candles.It would be like the theory that Bran let Dany go off so she would get killed and he would be king.
>>201979054>Otto thought the whole realm was going to side with them Because he named the kid Aegon then he gave him the sword and the crown but as you know oaths>symbolism.Otto in the show is just a retard pretending to be smart. Dude watches Rhaenys kill HUNDREDS of commoners and doesn't do anything to push propaganda against the Blacks, but completely gives up on Aegon after a week of rule because killing a few ratcatchers after the prince's murder is apparently Westeros 9/11 bad PR.
>>201979149Book Aemond was a dumbasss but at least he didn't try to kill his brother.
>>201979142ZAMN
>>201979151lol Alicent survives the Dance and will keep eating screentime because of her actress' contract since she's playing a main character
>>201979013>Rush Hour 2 referenceBased
>>201979151if they had any BALLS they would have had her suicide in the lakewould be a decent enough way to get rid of her instead of just having her stand around all next season
Seriously how was season 1 so good and we got this thing now, what changed in there, is the same source material, wtf happened
>>201979182>Otto in the show is just a retard pretending to be smartHe did the same in the book tho and he didnt give up he was fired.
>>201979111the show is on same path as witcher a cool fantasy tale gets turned into a boring soap opera
>>201979174>In the book he also fired him because he was trying to win with diplomacy isolating Rhaenyra for alliesthe problem is that even in the book Otto's diplomatic attempts fall mostly flathe's trying to sway nobles who are all already on Rhaenyra's side and won't budge, the only decent thing Otto manages to do is get the Triarchy but that's 1/4 of what he promised
I can't overstate how much I hate this desperate attempt to tie in the events of Dance with one of the main plotlines of ASOIAF - the reason why Dance works on an emotional level is that you see how men and women are driven by contemporary concerns - for their families, for personal glory, for vanity, for power. That's how it works in our own world as well.Human heart in conflict with itself. Not human heart in conflict with... future that may or may not pass.
>>201979190And she doesn't even get naked.
>>201979217>the problem is that even in the book Otto's diplomatic attempts fall mostly flatYeah I know that's why Aegon just kicked his ass.
>>201979212Not at all. Why do you pretend you read the book?In the book Otto didn't give a shit about ratcatchers, he just brought cats into the red keep and kept doing his job. Aegon fired him because Otto failed to deliver the support he promised he would, and the war was already underway.
>viserys and rhaenyra cut themselves on the throne>meanwhile...
>>201979183Fair. The fact that Aemond smoked his brother's dragon just to then complain that they don't have enough dragons, while riding the biggest of them all, is killing me honestly. I don't know what they expected.
>>201979218Also having Daemon be straight up told that he just has a part in a story is a completely unneeded 4th wall break, it just makes everything feel more pointless like they're all going through the motions.
>>201979218Winter is coming anon….
>>201979187
>>201979198paddy was carrying the whole thing unironically
>>201979198season 1 was still rather bad, but had a good actor in the middle to hold it together
>>201979245God I wish that were me...
>>201979248this x5
>>201979014>t. grey rat> Yet as he was descending, His Grace stumbled and reached out to right himself, and sliced his left hand open to the bone on a jagged blade protruding from the throne. Though Grand Maester Mellos washed the cut out with boiled wine and bound up the hand with strips of linen soaked in healing ointments, fever soon followed, and many feared the king might die. Only the arrival of Princess Rhaenyra from Dragonstone turned the tide, for with her came her own healer, Maester Gerardys, who acted swiftly to remove two fingers from His Grace’s hand to save his life.
>>201979218also why tie it to GoT which everyone now resents and has left a bitter taste still to this day
>>201979235>>viserys and rhaenyra cut themselves on the throneHOTD completely reframed Viserys' injuries on the throne. In the book Viserys biggest cut happens when he goes too far championing Rhaenyra's cause. In the show Viserys only cuts himself on screen when telling Daemon to get lost.No way Rhaenyra cuts herself on the throne lol you're mad if you think Condal will let that happen.
Was Jace a bully back in season 1 or was it just Luke? I don't really remember.
>>201979198Daemon didn't go to Harrenhal in time and got put in an as much negative light as possible because the writers hated that people loved him.They aged down Rhaenyra's youngest children too much and they changed the details of how the alliances were formed too much.The smallfolk conveniently forget that one of Aemond's most popular titles is kinslayer. It didn't make sense for Aegon to fly out even with his complex as the greens are nowhere near as much of a pinch they're in in the book.
>>201979234No anon I mean he is a retard in the book as well not because of the ratchatchers but because he thought the whole realm was going to side with them for no reason and he failed to secure allies.
>>201979240i mean book Aemond bragged about taking on all the Blacks' dragons and how he doesn't need his brothers when he has Vhagar, but then avoids that fight and avoids Daemon/Nettles while they're together and only goes to fight Daemon when he knows he's alone
>>201979272Maybe Mellos was incompentent, anon.
>>201979160Sadly. All American TV is shit right now
>>201979296they were both going along with Aegon's pranks because they liked Aegon
>>201979272ah yes Viserys stumbling and cutting himself on the throne's blades after screwing over Vaemond's family is... somehow the Maester's fault!
>>201979178>ayo dis dragon be doin what my nigga?Making the velaryons black will always be a mistake and no leftist gaslighting fag will ever convince me otherwise.
>>201979272That's in the book. To be fair if you're talking about the book, there was intentional malpractice. That doesn't apply to the show however.
>>201979324British TV isn't much better, the rest of the English speaking world I imagine is also shit
>>201979350Racist!
>>201979308>talk shit about family>kill your nephew on a tiny dragon and start civil war>continue talking shit about yuor family>call uncle old and tell him to fight you>run away from him every time he tries fighting you>he's finally alone so you jump him>it's your first fight on anequal footing>he fucking kills you
>>201979380Thanks for the compliment
Jacegan homokino when?
>>201979350I can see the point about them all looking the same otherwise, but I don't see why they would make them black and then erase Nettles of all characters.
>>201979350>AYO DA SHEEPSTELA DRAGON BE EATIN DA SHEEP
>>201979350True dat. DEI bullshit.
>>201979311>GRAND MAESTER>incompetent good one, anon.>>201979333another grey rat.the GRAND MAESTER almost lost him (on purpose since a normal maester saved his life)>>201979359the show is shit and not worth discussing beyond making fun of it.
>>201979402>unclenuncle*
Post Sheepstealer please.
>>201979402It's nuncle you shit
>>201979408Next season's first episode probably, since the Gullet got delayed.
>>201979408This but with Jacegon.Since Aegon has no dick anymore he only has one option left.
>>201979408Season 3... there's still hope, right?
Jace needs to die asap
>>201979412there's 101 ways of making white people with the same hair colour look different (seriously, wtf kind of problem is that???) but you know, DEI brownie points and effort
Dis crack'as shows getting pretty stale, no cap my niggas
Aemond knows he’s going to die which makes his death a badass suicide
>>201979466:(
>>201979151it's political opponents humiliation porn.they don't give a shit about the story.>The “House of the Dragon” actress, who took over the role of Alicent Hightower from Emily Carey due to a series time jump, revealed that co-showrunners Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan Condal advised her to find inspiration from the disgraced former president. The series creators told Cooke to view the character Queen Alicent like a “woman for Trump.”https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/house-of-the-dragon-olivia-cooke-trump-1234766026/
>>201979408Haha women sure are wacky to want this stuff
>>201979497I'm a gay guy though
>>201979432Then why ask me to watch season 1 again, anon? Tell me to read the book at least.
>>201979408The (((showrunners))) sure do love their fagshit. May as well really please all the homos and make it Addam and Jace.
>>201979478or he's just a dumbass like the other dumbass who think Helaena's words are crazy ramblings.
>>201979478t. Ryan
>>201979402I've kind of enjoyed Daemon's journey from edgelord to dude who's just tired of all of this shit, as it turns out it was less fun murdering family members than he thought.
>>201979235Rhaenyra will deepthroat a sword and remain uninjured.the writers are hacks.
>>201979524they only love lesbians, not gay men
MIGRATE>>201976031>>201976031>>201976031>>201976031>>201976031
>>201979524No, they're allergic to the good fagshit. It's fine with them when it's their own fanfic.
>>201979537It sure would be nice if he'd get the fuck out of Harrenhal so half of each episode isn't his spoopy dreams. Shit got old after five minutes.
>>201979516Female brained.
>>201979521>why ask me to watch season 1 againhe's not me.don't read the book. it's boring.only worth it if you're thristing for gurm's shit.
>>201979537You can show that and still have him be a competent military leader who can gather armies with ease. Like he did before the Great Council to support Viserys, and like he did to fight the Triarchy.
fuck sickfu, shes a traitor and we have to face reality, shes also a WHORE
>>201979524>instead of getting blacked by Baela, he is getting blacked by Addam I wouldn't even be surprised
>>201979525Helaena's words up to this point have been vague or nonsensical without context. Here she just told him directly that he's going to die in a battle over the gods eye, there's no way for him to misunderstand any of it.
>>201979705ok, you go listen to the crazy homeless lady down the street at a random shit she said because only to the viewers makes sense. do it, faggot. light your family in gasoline to save your family.
>>201979705To Aemond, it's just crazy talk.
