Fire and Period Blood edition
>>221566959What did it add to the lore?
The two men forced Helaena to make a decision when they threatened to have Blood rape Jaehaera, and to kill all three of her children should she refuse to choose. In the end, Helaena reluctantly named her youngest child, Prince Maelor, who she deemed to be too young to understand what was happening. In response, the two men killed Prince Jaehaerys instead, cutting off his head with a single swing of a sword, and fled with it while Helaena screamed.:/
>>221567963Feminism
>>221568734did you make all of those names up
So do we think Sara Hess intended for us to sympathize with Rhaenyra or something? Because the servants talking to the man like he's in charge instead of her, and her cramps, and all these people being mean to her and men are telling her what to do and it's so hard to be a career woman blah blah blah?Because if so it didn't work. I was irritated the moment she first came on screen and then was irritated by everything she said and did for the entire rest of the episode because they had her in the entire rest of the episode. I guess that's what the "experimental" bullshit was all about. Well great. If I cared about the character or anything that's happening maybe it would be a cool way to do it, but it just came across as a filler episode. I should've just watched more anime.
>>221566959REMINDERTO ALL DRACONIC ABOMINATIONS
They gave helaenas mourning to rhaenyra and Joffrey is gonna get maelors death
>>221567963The writers kind of forgot about Aegon chillaxing on the Iron Throne
>this is fine
>Trump at Mcdonalds
>>221568890ugly ahh dragon
>>221568890>Yeah the hightower army can have their fun sized nuke if they want
>>221568853I'm pretty sure Sara Hess wanted people to be like "this is just like when Catholic priests don't want to bless my abortion! Waaah! Men!"
Unpopular opinion: I don't think Alicent is a very good mother
>>221568925maybe i judged larys too harshly
>>221568925She pregnant in the show or irl?
PERIODSISTERS WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK
>>221568951This is why AKotSK is so much better than both shows: no periods.
My brother.
In the name of the Warrior, I charge you to rape bravely.
>We do not choose our destinies. Yet we must.. we must rape, no? Great or small, we must rape.

>>221569030LOL, it'll be some random cookbook or something. But honestly, if it's anything I would hope it's another Dunk and Egg story, not the main series.

>>221569030>>221569065it's clickbait about the 2027 calendar
>>221569065no, it's still the ''leak'' about Comicon

He comes....

>>221569065>>221569077>>221569078Hahahahaha
What games do you guys play? I just started Skies of Arcadia.
>>221569101>women crying about body standards when I'm an architect saying no ladies it's fine fatten up>but I'm also still somehow wrong and evil
>I can't legitimize some bastards for some other lord because then people will shit talk about my own supposed rumored bastards>instead during a time of questionable loyalties I will piss off someone who served me loyally and not let him get heirs to his house after he lost his wife and I chucked his gay son to some foreign cityHow the fuck does this make any sense? Of all the decisions she had to make, letting Corlys legitimatize his sons was the most easiest decision to make.

>>221569117>"What . . . what game?">"The only game. The game of thrones." He brushed back a strand of her hair. "You are old enough to know that your mother and I were more than friends. There was a time when Cat was all I wanted in this world. I dared to dream of the life we might make and the children she would give me . . . but she was a daughter of Riverrun, and Hoster Tully. Family, Duty, Honor, Sansa. Family, Duty, Honor meant I could never have her hand. But she gave me something finer, a gift a woman can give but once. How could I turn my back upon her daughter? In a better world, you might have been mine, not Eddard Stark's. My loyal loving daughter . . . Put Joffrey from your mind, sweetling. Dontos, Tyrion, all of them. They will never trouble you again. You are safe now, that's all that matters. You are safe with me, and sailing home."
i think it was a good episode for the most partthe most dissapointing part is that it all but confirms that tyland won't play the role he does in the book
>>221569125It wasn't even a debate, it's an obvious move, one of his sons IS A DRAGONRIDER, he's basically half legitimate just because of that.Now all Aegon has to do is offer them legitimacy and he gets both a dragon and a fleet to his side
>>221566959This has to be the longest stretch of dindu nuffin put on TV.
>>221568951I'm going to play MMZX to celebrate its anniversary.>b-b-b-but it's already the 7th in ja-I don't give a FUCK
>>221569101I thought I noticed her neck becoming larger. Sad.
wow, being a queen is hard huh?
>>221569165>I didn't do anythingthen what's this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxmWpMfRapY
>>221569086I mean, for all we know one of the fake Daerons that arose during the Aegon III reign may had been the true original one. But by that point everyone was fed up with dynastic wars so nobody cared
>>221569178Uhhh the men!
Am I blind? I didn't see any periods or rapes.

Are we gonna see communism crumble apart in a current year american show?
>>221569215You’re gonna be sooooooo mad
>>221569101>crying about gaining weight now that there's a magic drug everyone in Hollywood uses to get thinWhy are women so much retarded
Guys I just fapped to a dragon.... What do
Once again the niggers are tolerable when they're calling Nae Nae a whore.
>>221569224only because chuds sabotage and ruin itreal communism has never been tried

>>221569238'member the red wedding?
>>221569178Genuinely of no consequence, seeing as he still had to be dragged kicking and screaming to be crowned, and Otto and the council didn't even include Alicent in the planning
what the fuck is with the fake daeron plot? I don't remember it in the book
>>221569171for >>221569117>I quoted the wrong postkilling myself after I finish the playthrough
Sunfyre status?
>>221569237i keep hearing that, but if by sabotaging you mean "not being funded by capitalism", then it's not a really good system
Sunfyre confirmed dead?
>>221569254Most of the show shit is not related to the book
>>221569254It’s so fake daeron can die in a burning tent so that real daeron can live a new life
>>221569249Yes, but that was the result of secessionism. Not being a succession threat.I guess they just used their backlog OST without thinking too much of it.
>>221569117wind waker
>>221569252she can't say she wasn't involved if she ever pushed her son in the direction of challenging Rhaenyra even once.
>>221569265They think he is like in the book but he was hiding and recovering
>>221566959>Still no torrent hours after it airedThat's a good indication that the show is garbage desu.
>>221569259He will rise again!
>>221569298it was up within seconds on my tracker.
>>221569298>i'm a retard zoomer who can't find a decent torrent hostTough shit idiot
>>221569165And now we get a "queen is useless because she's on the rag" scene. Why were people calling this shit woke again? This show is the most misogynistic shit I've seen on TV for 30 years.
>>221569298I downloaded a torrent almost three hours ago off TPB.
>>221569334That's only because the writers are so bad and incompetent they undercut their own political propaganda.
>>221569298Huh? Torrents were up like 10 min after it aired.
>>221568925She can redeem herself if she fucks Aemond and be his woman.
>this episode
>>221569292they said Baela say his corpse and it was decaying. Was she lying or just retarded?
>>221569298Get gud, newfag
Alys should fuck cole
the blockade shit made no sense from the start. King's Landing isn't some waterlocked place they could have always gotten supplies by road right?
>>221569381It was probably a dead bird or something
>the leaks were trueGet ready for Aegon raping Dyana 2.0 when Ormund orders Daeron to kill an innocent man next episode.Can't have shit in this show, especially if you're green.
>>221569399It makes no sense.
>>221569400a giant golden bird?
What was the point of the fake Daeron plot?
>>221569399Not if they have to pass trough hostile lords territory
>>221569401People already hate daeron because of bitterbridge anyways
>feed the rich rats while the army goes in and redistributes their wealthThis just seems like some commie wetdream fanfic honestly. I'm surprised there wasn't an Elon Musk stand in. Also in the book it was the small folk that fucked her over, I'm guessing they're going to change it to the rich?
So now instead of the poor masses of Kings Landing rising up against Rhaenyra and driving her from the city, they'll change it so she does a heckin' communism and taxes the rich. The poor will all love her and the city will be more heckin' equal and free than ever but the corrupt rich oligarchs will sabotage her out of bitter anger.
>>221569413>we haven't shown Daeron yet, wouldn't it be so cool if we played with that?>What a brilliant idea, that's so clever! People attribute malice and intent to these writers when a lot of the time they just come up with bad, stupid fucking ideas and toxic positivity / the progressive stack prevents anyone from stopping it.
>>221569417King's Landing is surrounded by hostile lords? If so Aegon would have never been made king.
>>221569399Logistics, bro. You're not going to cart more tonnage than you can sailing it. Rome suffered the same problem.
>>221569413I'm guessing Rhaenyra won't kill him but he'll reemerge as Trystane Truefyre later on
>>221569434>>221569431The greens are going to launch a propaganda campaign, saying she was hosting feasts for the rich (the rat banquet) and shitIt's all mean bad men and society not understanding and hating women.
>>221569445>surroundedYou don't need to be surrounded, all it takes is some to fuck up the supply line. But yes, Cole had to march to rooks rest killing lord after lord because many declared for rahenyra.
It’s her first day, don’t bully.
the books>Rhaenyra gets word of her father's death and brother's usurpation simultaneously and the stress pushes her into a premature labor and stillbirth of her daughter Visenya, then less than a week later her son Luke dies. Bedridden for months after, her family fights the war for her. After the death of her firstborn son, Jacerys, Rhaenyra becomes enraged and rides dragons onto King's Landing and forcibly takes the city with the assistance of a betrayal by the Goldcloaks, still loyal to Daemon 30 years later- a clever callback to Ned's coup failing due to a betrayal by the Goldcloaks.The show>Rhaenyra shits out a dead baby all by herself without any maesters or midwives present after hearing about her father's death and Aegon's usurpation. A few days later, Luke dies. Rhaenyra is determined to go to war, until she realizes that war means killing her best friend Alicent. Suddenly she wants to talk it out. After secret meetings with her best friend Alicent, Alicent sneaks off to meet her and promises to betray her sons' lives- the very lives she sought to protect when she encouraged him to usurp the throne in his youth. Alicent promises to open the city to Rhaenyra, but then Jace tragically dies in battle. This doesn't matter and just makes Rhaenyra a little sad before she flies to King's Landing under Alicent's promise rather than under bold strategy. Alicent talks to the goldcloaks to tell them to open the city, but this was unnecessary because they all remembered that Daemon was their lord commander 20 years ago.Sara, we fucking NAILED IT.
>Helaena not even speaking a word about her son's murder to Rhaenyra>Alicent couldn't give less fucks eitherThey want you to forget about Blood & Cheese so bad
>>221569492Bruh they killed the boy but it's ok because she is connected to bloodraven for some reason
>>221569492It's actually staggering how you can be handed prime material like that which films itself and somehow fuck it up so catastrophically. I still don't get it. Was it deliberate because they were scared? Or was it just incompetence?
>>221569492Do they even mention Jaehaerys at all after episode 2?
>>221569492If they wanted to escape the city, why didn't they just take Dreamfyre to fly out of the city? Or why did Helaena want to escape the city without her dragon?
>ah, yes. i see it now.lmfao.
>>221569417You wot? The stormlands, westerlands and reach were all green allied. The reach is the most fertile and bountiful kingdom of the continent. They should have no issues whatsoever bringing food up via land roads.
>>221569520I haven't watched the episode yet did Dreamfyre get mentioned this week?
>>221569492That child was a boy who obviously would have just grown up to be a sexist rapist like all men so he deserved to die and all 3 of the girlboss queens understood that without needing to say it.ALL MEN MUST DIE.BUT WE ARE NOT MEN*raises eyebrow cockily*
>>221569554nopethese people hate cool women, despite their feminist clamoring.
Looks like the king has some Aegon his face.
>>221569571There is nothing cool about haleana tho
>>221568858>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0%C4%87epan_Mali>A Russian delegation finally arrived in Montenegro in 1769, exposed Šćepan as a fraud and briefly imprisoned him, but released him and returned him to power upon realising that he was the most competent of Montenegro's potential rulers.what a fucking chad
>>221569590Yes, she might be cool if she did stuff with Dreamfyre or mentioned her dragon at all because dragons are cool, that's my point
>>221568911dragons are far from nukes. they literally die from one or two hits
Who do we have no choice but to stan?
>>221569606The high septon. I kneeled in my chair
>>221569520The whole idea is they were supposed to disappear quietly into exile in Essos and nobody would know what happened to them. Roaring off on the back of a dragon is a bit more dramatic than what they were going for.
>>221569606Ironrod the Rape God.
Why so many bastards in this show? Whatever happened to the sanctity of marriage?
>>221569617>The high septon. I kneeled in my chairIt's nice to see someone not being a sniveling coward just doing whatever is called for. For all the whining about le men standing in their way there sure haven't been a lot of obstacles they didn't lay in front of their own feet.
>>221569598It's one of those stories that if some fantasy author tried to put to page he would face backlash because of how stupid it all is.
>>221569645>Whatever happened to the sanctity of marriage?imagine saying this to the team of writers they have and getting laugh at as your spaghetti falls out of your pocket
>>221569590She has a dragon with a cool name.And she likes bugs.
>>221569474>Alicent talks to the goldcloaks to tell them to open the city, but this was unnecessary because they all remembered that Daemon was their lord commander 20 years ago.
inside of me there are two wolvesone things Dragons are diving, beautiful beings with their own hearts and mystic souls that must be respected and honoredThe other thinks they are abominations, crafted in vile valyrian rites, that deserve death, and that all targs must hang
Is this the last season of HotD or how many are we expecting?
What's with Hollywood pairing teenage white boys with apple-headed 4/10 negroes in everything? Is it because BMWF swung back around to being stigmatized again from being pushed too hard?
>>2215697041 more after this. Season 4 is the last.
>>221569704They confirmed 4
>>221569714I feel like this has always been common but I can't remember exactly something from an older film as an example.
Is she autistic?
Why are there so many niggers? I'm fine with the dragon keepers being nigs because they seem like they're from outside but it just seems like London now.
>>221568734If I tuned in after 4 years of these relatively forgettable characters with similar names, and someone on screen said all that verbatim I wouldn't really bat an eye at this point
Was killing the ratcatchers really the downfall of Aegon and the Greens? They were that important to the smallfolk?
They really ham up the creepy music to let us know that the homegirl is going insane
>>221569770not in the book. Smallfolk actually preferred Aegon
So what, no fuckin rape?
>>221569758She's not good with kids
I'm going to tell my kids this is was rhaenyra targaryen
>>221569787not really, they hated Aegon for the blockade and he killed a shitload of them when he came back after the riots
Daeron plot doesn't make sense, and Helaena doesn't give a shit about her children for some reason. Other than that, the episode was pretty good.
why is she overwhelmed with ruling and making decisions. Thats part of the damm job
>>221569820Is the blockade as impactful in the books? I don't remember it being a huge thing, but I could be wrong.
I like that they show her actually struggling and not just girlbossing
I'm watching the littlefinger video someone posted the other thread, and its pretty good.I don't think george thought about allat, but its definitely a good interpretation of the events.
>>221569826They’ve dropped the ball really fucking bad with Helaena.
>>221569827Because up until now all she's done 8n her life is cry and seethe and fuck Daemon. She didn't even do any actual ruling or campaigning at Dragonstone, it was all Daemon and Corlys and then stealth Alicent come to hand KL to her for free.
Fuck that was shite
>OI ME CRAMPSwhat the fuck was the point
do women really bleed out of their butts every week? that's actually disgusting
>>221569827She’s got fucking PERIOD CRAMPS. Try focusing on your job while a little mite is just jabbing away at your belly as you go about your business and you see how you cope. I bet you wouldn’t.
Do girls randomly start bleeding like that.
>even the retards on X are shitting on the episode
>>221569879I dont think she had those the whole episode. And if she did just let the HAND deal with shit while she lays in bed or something. Isnt that like one the reasons why the Hand of the King/Queen exists at all.
>>221569881When they are retarded and dont keep track
>>221569881Yeah and they get really bitchy too, currently ignoring one of my hags that I'm certain is on her period, she'll come crawling back in a few days when it ends after I ignore her.I didn't want to be like this btw but it's literally how to keep women lmao.
Women sure have it tough huh?
>>221569881Sometimes yeah if you don't keep up with your cycle it can happen. But usually the cramps beforehand would be a good reminder
why did they leave the hightowers with the flying nuclear bomb
>>221569820>>221569845honestly I don't remember a blockade at all, nor him massacring anyone when he came back. He only became king again for like a day or two.
>>221569932We can always make it worse for them, and that's what I strive to do
>>221569080GODDAMMIT, CARLOS!
>>221569940i like brown tifa
>>221569092Absolutely based.
>>221569961Jeetas can sometimes be enticing but think of your sons
>>221569125He should have fucking gutted her then and there.
>>221569845Yes it was a huge deal.>>221569948He killed the the shepard and all the rioters.
What is the purpose of this fake daeron plot. Pretty sure thats not in the book
Big L episode for the greens tonight, we didn't increase the rape count at all. I also started to wonder if maybe they aren't the bad guys because I didn't see them committing rape.
>>221570014Rhaenyra has the real Daeron it's a double ruse
>>221570015Yeah I really hope tomorrow we get some cocks in some cunny, as ole ironrod used to say.
>>221569125this genuinely made no sense to me
All Rhaenyra does is fucking cry and act weak. how the fuck does anyone take her seriously. The entire show all shes done is cry. I dont know if she was written like this in the books or if its bad acting but holy fuck.
>>221568849How do I amass this much swag? I was thinking of wearing a gun holster and leaning on it.
>>221570077how many times do we have to say woman momentit's not a meme that humanity didn't let women rule for thousands of years, our entire historyevery societyit's not an accident or mistakeit's not because we're all big meanie heads either
>>221569372the scene needed an aunt diane to say, "don't do it, aemond!"
>>221570113Mmm. May as well keep it in the family.
>>221570014Maybe just to make pacing better and add a little twist
>>221569125She unironically values her image more then any ally. No reason to follow her at all now.
I'm Team Green but I like this episode. I like its focus on Rhaenyra setting up her rule in KL. I like how stressed she was by the mundane realities such as candles, and her own loyal man Corlys calling her out most angrily.Show is still shit but this was the best episode this season -- not saying a lot.But next episode must very much about the Greens.
>>221569125Rhaenyra is lying. The real reason is she doesn't watch Corlys's bastards to jump ahead of his daughters in line.
Isn't that fake boy was supposed to come with a dragon?
What would have happened if the Night King wong against Dany and Jon? What would he do to Cersei?
>>221570152I expected to hate it and I really didn't. I could definitely complain, easily. But overall not bad, on a relative scale.
>>221570168Kill her
>>221570164uhh you werent supposed to notice that
Poor fake daeron at night's watch would be fresh meat lol
>>221570183that's a girl right
>>221570183Even I want to fuck that twink (100% heterosexual male)
>>221570168Stop reminding me of s8
>>221570183Reeks of woman, does not pass
>>221570099Start by acquiring a dragon.
Could it be that Rhaenyra is racist?
>>221570192I believe the actress is a girl
>>221570171Hearing about a Black-only episode before watching it would've pissed me off a little, but it makes sense.And I apologise using that retarded cat picture I had actually reopened the file browser before posting but it somehow remained.
>>221570183>me on my way to AO3 to read the real version of Alicent and Daeron's reunion
Meanwhile Alys probably thinking fuck this one also has mommy issues, I have to make incest porn dreams again
>>221570214The Greens don't exist anymore, buddy. It's all Black episodes from here on out.
>>221570214I'm just glad I heard about all of the period stuff before the episodeI was expecting her to bleed on the throne and that be her "cutting herself on it" (how it was made propaganda, which this might still happen anyway)So I was ready for it and it was less than i expected. Without those spoilers I wonder if I would have been even more annoyed at how on the nose the feminism is once again
>>221570223I wanted Alys to be Aemonds cool witch gfThey could still do a "twist" where she was manipulating Daemon to help Aemond/for her own witchy purposes and that the prophecy she fed Daemon was fake. That's honestly the only interesting thing they could do with the prophecy garbage but I don't think they will.
>>221570183A man can't have brows that flat. "He" looks like a mini version of that Rings of Power lady.
>>221570214I liked your cat picture.
>>221561264Already discussed. See >>221395857
Bitch found another Harwin Strong
>>221570322>RHAENYRA COULDA YOU PLEASE sTOP BEING A WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE
Did she get her chickens?
>>221570348She needs a good smack.
>>221570348No, just herpes in her BROTHEL
>>221570348imagine if this creature obsessed bitch got near a dragon i bet she'd find that so exciting she'd never stop talking about the dragon shed be obsessed wtih it imagine if she had one she'd love flying it and dreaming about it and being cryptic with it FUCK THESE NIGGERS
>>221570000>Yes it was a huge deal.remind me what happened>He killed the the shepard and all the rioters.shepard was a retard and the rioters deserved it
>>221570000>Yes it was a huge deal.Can you quote it for me? A blockade existed, but I can't find mention of it causing starvation issues in KL.
>>221570348>watches her child get decapitated by an intruder in her bedroom>one season later she's back to being quirk chungus Fuck dem keeds anyways
>>221570348Where's her dragon?
Helaena kind of forgot about Dreamfyre
I actually didn’t mind the episode.
Is Rhaenyra really gonna finna blow a 6-1 lead?
>>221570361Where?
>>221570414me either but im still mad because I hate life and this faggot planet, I won't let them take an opportunity away from me to bitch
>>221569176Jacaelor is a fucking stupid name
>>221570430Agreed, GRRM disowned it and I bat for him despite his gross indolence
why is everyone talking like rhaenyra's doing a bad job first week as queen? seemed to me she's doing pretty good considering the circumstances
>>221570348Did someone said chicken?
how can anyone want this qt3.14 to lose?
>>221570449Yeah, I'm sure everything will work out.
>dares to chastise a white woman for hypocrisyLiking Lord Corlys a lot more
>>221570469well i wouldn't go that far
>>221570449The circumstances don’t make a lot of sense because she won the city through the duplicity of Alicent rather than the Gullet itself, so the triumph is strangely mutedIncidentally, I’m glad the next episode is Green heavy judging from the preview.
>>221570473He actually got to emote which was exciting
slow ride (dun dun dun dun dun da dun)take it easy (dun dun dun dun dun da dun)
>>221570430Sounds like me.
>>221570469Im show only and I have no idea how she will be able to fumble it
>>221570348She can get my cock, if you catch my drift.
This show keeps proving to me that woman should not be anywhere near power
>>221570473>calling her sons bastardsYet he still get to keep his tongue.
>>221570414The ending felt flat and was not all it could have been. They really should have shown the Hightower army approaching Tumblrton and real Daeron on his dragon, legit just 10 seconds and you've tripled the impact of the fakedaeron plot and given the audience a sense of place. Random black man appearing and announcing off-screen events feels very stage play
>>221570532Well she just pissed off a bunch of noble families, the priest, Ulf and Corlys and his sons.
>>221570473For all my criticisms, and I saw people criticizing this scene, this was the depiction of Rhaenyra I wanted. Smug and entitled, and retarded. All in one. Genuinely good depiction of women. I think sometimes people here don't understand because they have less experience with women and don't realize how unabashedly brazen they can be.It might be on accident and against their intentions because they're retarded, but still
>>221570454KEK
>>221570557Episode 4 seems Green heavy so I assume they’re blowing all their load on it including depicting Tumbleton
>>221570549This is indisputable fact.
Reminder that Daemon murdered her in COLD blood.
What does Daemon actually want? One moment he fantasises about conquering the world and being a god, the next he’s submitting to his niece-wife? Doesn’t really line up.
YOUR GRACE,YOU LACK A QUEENSGUARD, A SMALL COUNCIL. YOUR CITIES ARE BEING SACKED AND FAMINE HAS STRICKEN YOUR PEOPLE.BUT THE RATCATCHERS YOUR GRACE. THEY MUST BE REINSTATED AT ONCE.
>>221570597no, he just approached her and then some awkward camera cuts and then she fell, leaving enough plausible deniability. Accountability evaded, blacks win again
>>221570610how do you think she caught the banquet?
Why wouldn't Baela or Rhaena the Heir to driftmark again? They're both noble born of Laena who is older than Laenor.
>>221570610It's funny that her first course of action was serving that banquet which means she had to hire ratcatchers, pay overtime, and given they were all culled they'd have to pay a premiumHer first course of action was in fact wasting their limited, limited resources on ratcatchers for a meme joke.If only Otto was around to see it..
>>221570609he thinks she's the zeus to their targaryen olympus. did you watch s2
>>221570609And also how he’s totally fine with killing fake Daeron with zero remorse even though he’s the innocent son of the brother he professes to love
>>221570609Same problem Alicent is having. They're both bending to the whims of Rhaenyra and having split personalities.
>>221570629Laenor is Corlys’ only son. Joffrey Velaryon is the legal son of Laenor. Therefore, Joffrey is the heir to Driftmark.
that was one of the worst episodes in the series
>>221570665nah
was it a slop ep or an actual ep that progresses the events? ie. should i take time off my day to watch it or just watch it on the side (it's automatically shit if they skip over the reasons smallfaolk start seething about her or waste enough time so they never get to that part)
>>221570665I can name 30 worse GOT episodes
>>221570674yes it was
>>221570648Joffrey is the Heir to the Throne. That takes precedent over driftmark like how Jace wasn't Heir to Driftmark Luke was. Robert Baratheon was Heir to Storm's End but gave it to Renly after giving Dragon Stone to Stannis.
>>221570678watch it at 2x speed, you won't miss anythiing
>>221570678It's before the smallfolk start seething about her, it's all about the practical problems she faces immediately after taking controlI don't know whether you should watch it. I can make a case for hating it or liking it. I enjoyed it. There's no fun dragon battles and you have to spend a lot of time with Rhaenyra. You decide
>>221570609You should be asking what Alys wants, she mind broke him to follow rheanera
take me back bros
>>221570678it just shows Rhaenyra is incompetent and Alicent is a retard. They literally blame all their problems on men. Also shows Dareon is the redhead kid beside Ormund after a bait and switch.
Isn't it kind of irresponsible for dany to want the 7 kingdoms when she cannot produce an heir? Wouldn't that just cause an immediate civil war after she dies, + leave 3 wild dragons roaming around?
>>221570692Smallfolk (S2E6) was terrible it's just so bad you don't even remember it.So is the S2 finale for that matterRegent is like a worse version of this episode
>>221570689you are delusional, this was season 7 maybe 6 tier at best
>>221570678this was a very 2nd monitor episode. synopsis: rhaenyra is struggling with the actual business of ruling, especially in the wake of the war that she caused, and the hightowers are continuing to surreptitiously resist her.
>>221570678Its a shitty episode but it sets up a bunch of stuff
>>221570693Robert Baratheon was well within his rights to rule Storm’s End as well and perhaps pass it off to his own sons. He instead decided to give it to his brother. Joffrey Velaryon is the heir to both the Iron Throne and Driftmark. Laena’s line is irrelevant.
WOOOO LOOK AT HIM GO!
>>221570714Wasn't she pregnant with Jon's baby at the end?
I had pet rats when I started watching this show and they're all dead now
>>221570745Left loves right but right doesn’t give a shit, brutal
>let's implement Communism and steal from the minor nobles of King's Landing and piss them off to ... feed the starving smallfolk for a few weeks>let's piss of my closest ally and not recognize his sons, even though one of them is a DRAGON RIDER, so everyone knows he has Valyrian blood>let's capture Daeron, but not his dragon for some fucking reason, also let the army go without supervision>ignore the dragonseeds, instead of housing them in a luxurious mansion in King's Landing
ser pounce solos
it really is all about rats>>221570761The right was actually injured and the left was comforting him :/
>>221570678Just drop the series plotfag. If you want a rote telling of events you’ve clearly already read it
rats abound itt
Why didn't they show Rhaenyra getting a cut on her hand like Viserys when this episode is the perfect throughline with that and her growing paranoia with this episode.
Idiots written by idiots for idiots
>>221570745>>221570774Are you female?
>>221570728This looks like a job for Ser Pounce!
>>221570733What? I'm talking about the books but no, we are never told of any pregnancy.
>>221570781how many times must the realm be warned
>varys's voice in the audiobook
>>221570745Should've killed all ratcatchers
>>221570665i wouldnt go that far but the fake daeron subplot and everything surrounding it might be up there
>>221570714I don’t think Dany is planning on ordering the state in a traditionally Westerosi way
https://youtu.be/Qm9KBfZW5pI?si=cLOsaKW_K1W9_129&t=7
>>221570806use your fucking eyes and read you pathetic zoomer
>>221570636Charlemagne most probably (definitely) had his nephews killed and then absorbed his brother's lands. How much sleep he lost over that we do not know but uncles killing the sons of brothers they apparently loved for political reasons is straight out of history
>>221570776>plotfagyeah, there's so much cool shit to watch for besides the story like the shit dialogue, the shitty action scenes, the shitty acting, the shitty directing, the shitty editing, the shitty choreographing, the shitty sets, the shitty casting
Are they skipping Butcher's ball or doing something different with Cole? Doesn't Butcher's Ball happen before Tumbleton?
>>221570806if you have to listen to an audiobook like some commoner, at least listen to DavidReadsAsoiaf https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=backstage_event&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbE1JVUxnLVVlTmVvVGtpMzI3UWx0UW1XaTBEUXxBQ3Jtc0tsMzRLa3U2YTNPSE5aVEVMZTgyOWVOSGZ5NVFPLWZHQW9QVURYMDR4aDZzTTFVbkljYmhPWmZDWUFzNE9kVVZLMU11UEoyVHhkcWNWM25KNEdxbE1QVVQzWGZvRU0xdjVFRElDUzltMUVkNHlDU0ZyVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Farchive.org%2Fsearch%3Fquery%3Dcreator%253A%2522DavidReadsASoIaF%2522
>>221570832Yeah, because the Frankish succession system involved splitting the realm between sons. And we don’t know what Charlemagne’s relationship was with his family beyond his children. How is this at all relevant to Daemon?
>>221570821I rewatch this every now and then to remind myself of what we lost
what are some examples of the seven-faced god influencing the realm on the level of the other gods, like rhllor raising the dead or the old gods giving people greensight?
>>221570821It’s incredible how this is the tentpole moment of Otto fucking Hightower, not to mention they got an actor who runs circles around everyone else, Aegon’s actor perhaps excluded.
>>221570714Yes. Jon is the heir in practice (if we ignore that he's the rightful ruler in the show)
>>221570880killing all the fucking dragons
>>221570880giving hugh the hewer super strength to kill 2 targ shitter dragons with just his work axe
>>221570869Because Daeron is a claimant to the throne according to Westerosi succession
>>221570900She couldn't have know that before she went to westerosWhat was the plan then
>>221570843Like I said, drop the series if you think it’s so shit. Or do you seriously think GrrMs magical plot is so amazing it’s worth sitting through a shitty 40 hour series? I would recommend cracking open a history book, f&b is just a pale imitation of one
>>221570904>>221570905i'm looking for things that are more tangible and miraculous, its not like they struck the dragons with lightning
When do the dragons dance?
>>221570868>if you have to listen to an audiobook like some commonerSimon Vance reading Fire and Blood is one of the most kino experiences out there. I'd listen to it for 1000 hours before this show, and have
>>221570916are you mentally retarded? also im reading john toland atm>>221570924the shepherd also ""allegedly"" summoned the warrior to kill a dragon
>>221569334>>221569358its a funny mix of 'men bad' and a woman writer putting in 'women moments' so their women audience sympathizes with the characters.Honestly i read the leaks and thought I would be skipping release nights instead of looking forward to it but i cant look away at this point, well done i guess.
>>221570924The warrior literally manifest and slew a dragon himself.
>>221570909Killing a claimant is different to killing someone to avoid losing half your realm, don’t you think? And the fundamental problem is that he doesn’t care about Daeron at all. He could still want to kill Daeron but he should at least show some remorse.
>>221570733doesn't Dany have a period when she's in the Dothraki field? I know she shat (the more she drank) but I think she bled too
>>221570880Maegor winning the Trial of the Seven. Baelor dying for DunkAll of Baelor the Blessed's shitI think the gods work the same way like in Elden Ring since that's GRRM's lore work too. I think the gods are in an outer realm and in some places of Planetos they have stronger power of connection than others like the Two fingers in Elden Ring. praying to them srengthens your connection to them?
>>221570914She had no plan further showing that woman should not hold power unless no other choice is avalaibe. Jon showing up was a miracle which she squandered
>>221570929i presume thats the audible version? how did you like the voices hes doing? for me as a showonly varys is the first one that really caught me off guard. i just cant imagine him as some guy who sounds like he's 70yo and weighs 250kgt. >>221570806
>>221570880Nothing concrete enough to be statement of fact. The Seven are false gods and always have been, opiates for dimwit Andal masses.
>>221570939Nice own. Enjoy spending 40 hours watching a series you don’t like and blogging about it
>>221570971Simon Vance only does Fire and Blood sadly, I'd kill for him to do Game of ThronesStill worth listening to, Dying of the Dragons is all kino read by him. His narration carries.
>>221570880>rhllor raising the dead not the god's work>the old gods giving people greensightnot the gods' work
>>221570973this. all the replies giving examples of retroactive hindsight "fate" bullshit sound like actual religious tards irl
the High Septon was kinda kino, he'll be a good Shepard if that's what they do with him which I must assumeSomething to cheer for in this show. But, he's against Rhaenyra, AND a religious figure who sided with the greens, so we'll get a few scenes of him doing a rape.
>>221570973>>221571027*sips fedora*
>>221571027almostalmostlike that's the point anon
>>221570981>Enjoy spending 40 hours watching a series you don’t like and blogging about itthis general has been hatewatching the show since s2 you ape and we'll keep doing it.>>221570993oh he's pretty good. i've listened to fire and blood probably a cumulative 2 times over while at work.
>>221570717>So is the S2 finale for that matterwe just got the s2 finale last sunday
Corlys was unbelievably based this episode.>>221570183>>221570212Yeah I looked it up the actress is a FtM tranny and it felt really weird that no one pointed out how girly their Daeron looked. Kinda fucking ridiculous actually because I clocked her as a girl the moment she appeared on screen. Genuinely embarrassing Daemon thought she was the real deal or that anyone is still referring to her character as a boy. I was mad that Alicent didn't pretend she was the real Daeron to protect her son though, why the hell wouldn't she?>>221570678It was a good episode and the first appearance of book-accurate Rhaenyra- naïve, entitled, holier-than-thou, feckless, and the biggest hypocrite on the planet.
>>221570949Alright no need to be cheeky, it's an uncle motivated to kill his nephew for political gain. Charly already had his brother's lands uncontested, his nephews at that point only represented a rival claim not much different to the Green boys. Daemon is a self absorbed psycho, his callousness is in character
>>221571071except you're not meant to see her that way, you just hate women
>>221571049>he'll be a good Shepardhis role will get compressed with mysaria sadly i fear>>221571071>fecklessthoughtless as well
>>221571071>show alicent>protect her sonsshe sold that nigga out the second she could, as per usual
>>221571100>his role will get compressed with mysaria sadly i fearthat's so disgusting it must be true, thanks for taking the one flicker of hope I had. I mean that unironically, I should know better.
>>221571049Maybe this is just me being more interested in Catholic/Orthodox stuff recently but I felt like Rhaenyra should've tried to play up respect and like kiss the ring or something when she first met the High Septon, or at least address him with some kind of honorific.I think it'd be interesting if they developed Rhaenyra as an Old Valyrian religion restorationist and that were part of the causes of her downfall, but I don't think they have the guts to do that. It would also tie her story parallels with Stannis all the greater with his apostasy to R'hllor, and rhyme nicely with how even Stannis calls Rhaenyra a usurper.
>>221568890wait so Daemon took the fake prince back without its dragon?
>>221571135Daemon is not a wise man
Is HotD what happens when season 8 Sansa, Circe, and Dany were the main focus with targ dragon shit to break it up?
>>221571135I guess he left a dragonkeeper (whos order abandoned rhaerhae) to watch it which is why the dragonkeeper arrived in Kings Landing with the news (for some reason)?
>>221571153add a raging feminist as the lead writer instead. At least D&D gave us tits and ass whenever they could.
you would think Daemon would be able to tell that fake Daeron wasn't Viserys's son, he only grew up with the fucker
>>221571097I don't hate women, if I hated women I'd depict Rhaenyra and Alicent how Sara Hess did in season 2 though.>>221571104Yeah Alicent is the worst character in the show and makes no fucking sense. Why is she even helping Rhaenyra when she asks for advice? It's so stupid. I wish Helaena had brought up Blood and Cheese.
>>221571181She literally said he was sent away as an infant
Did Alicent forget she started this whole mess?
>>221571207her dad, not her
>>221571193right, hey remember when Ned Stark was able to recognize Gendry was Robert Baratheon's bastard even though he only just met him
>>221571181Daemon should've been able to identify Daeron as a fucking girl. It's more obvious than Arry.
>>221570880aren't they used and pushed by the hightowers to keep the andals in check while their upper tower people are witches?
>>221570665Trvke. The subhumans glazing this shit are tasteless pigs eating up whatever slop HBO gives them. This is a fetishistic and retarded episode.Wow its so hard being a woman listen to this grating violin as everyone is mean to her for no reason in the show where they alter all the plots to make women good and fuck it up so badly they're all still incompetent psyc-hoes. Gratuitous communism scene. if you liked this fuck. you.
Reminder that Helaena was freaking out because she and Alicent are being held hostage in the room where Jaehaerys died in
>>221571261>twitter buzzwordscan safely discard the entire post
>>221571266I didn't know that. maybe Helaena should mention her dead son or something.
>>221571219remember when people's genetics can be either recessive or dominant, and robert's seed is famously said to be strong
Rhaenyra really just let Corlys humiliate her like that and did nothing. Useless woman.
>>221570812It's really dumb in the moment. I'll at least wait until they roll the whole thing out before I pass a final judgment. But Alicent not lying as soon as she recognized the "boy" wasn't Daeron is such a retarded move on her part. She's smarter than this. Anyway if I complained about anything fDaeron outside of this website I'd be called transphobic because the casting of a tranny for fake daeon is so stupid.
What's with the gongs?
>>221571286>camera cut so you dont have to see how the situation was actually addressed or resolvedI absolutely hate this meme
this show sucks
>>221571290i don't get it, is fake daeron supposed to be an actual girl in the show
>>221571305the worst thing is, what else is there.
>>221571286There was zero retort to what he said
>>221571266Rhaenyra telling Alicent "Well I couldn't imagine" while Helaena was right there in the room her son died, and her kid was a literal toddler she had to watch get beheaded. But no. Only Alicent suffers having lost her father (but her grandson magically doesn't count), and only Rhaenyra's bastard deaths count. And Helaena said fucking nothing because the writers don't know what to do with her when she's not behaving like she's mentally 5 years old
>>221571290why would she not go along with the lie after complaining about him being sent to the wall lmao
THATS NOT MY SON, THATS NOT HIM RHAENYRA! Make sure you murder my actual real son. Wouldn't want a mistake made there heh.
>>221571283that's such a fucking weak cope, he grew up with viserys, aegon and rhaenyra resemble viserys, and aemond is his literal nephew clone
Drinking game: take a shot every time someone utters "Your Grace"
>>221571337>>221571342holy kek you're right. why are girls so DUMB
>>221571310I don't think so because they continued referring to her as "boy" after they identified her as not Daeron
Wtf is Nyra thinking sending this twink to the night's watch
>>221571349do aegon and rhaenyra still resemble viserys after you take your risperidone
Gosh why is emma darcy so cute CUTE i just want to ruin her :3
>>221571279cope and seethe faggot its undismissable
>>221571361so whats the problem then
Torrhen Manderly won't get punished for being the only person to point out Rhaenyra ordered the blockade and it wasn't a man's fault, right?
>>221571370>herbe better chud
>>221571378They'll put a scene of him raping someone next episode to make sure we know he's a bad guy
>>221571370>her Fucking bigot
>>221571374dismissed
>>221571369>risperidonealso known as reading a book
>>221571385Along with the high septon molesting a child
>>221571374shut up nigger
I heard in the book Rhaenyra gets fat, I hope we get fat Emma on the show.
>>221571378waitDid the show ever clarify that Joffrey is betrothed to a Manderly girl and the death of Jace and Luke has just jumped House Manderly's influence by several orders of magnitude?>>221571376The tranny actor isn't a boy to begin with
Has aemond raped anyone? Can we be certain he is a bad guy?
What's her body count?
>>221571414He has a rapey vibe.
>Written by: [not sara (((hess))) & condom]it's kino time
>>221571401badass, i love the faggot women power show now
>>221571414He raped his mother's mouth with his tongue
did Daemon not think is strange that Tessarion did not follow Daeron back to King's Landing?
>>221571420They call her "The Racoon Goon"
>>221571414You know he's a bad guy because he is a chud with mommy issues
>>221571392Here I stand, undismissed
it's insanity going from dunk to hotd s3
So does Criston Cole die next week?
I love how Ulf just blatantly asked to be a Targaryen.
This show is kind of lame.
Uh, final boss Ormund Hightower?
>>221571459Ulf Blackfyre
WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE HER DO?
>>221571445no you're definitely dismissed
>>221571462https://youtu.be/yvHIhb5sLCQMeant to link trailer
>>221571459Ulf is the only king I'll kneel to
>>221571455Criston Cole was shown in a big battle. Unlesz the big battle appears in the episode I don't think so
>>221571472ah you see I've decided you aren't important and not worth considering, that's why I replied to your post and each subsequent one.
>>221571449>it's insanity going from dunk to hotd s3we'll go back there
>>221571517>noooooo you gave me (you)s so you must think i'm important!!! im r-r-r-r-rent free in your head!!!!!i like to watch ants carry food to their nests, too. i like how they all get in a line.
>>221571540 a real nigga right there
>>221571540the realm needs good shows..
>>221571467>>221571477Would she have agreed, if he asked to be named Ulf Dragonfyre?
people told me this show is covert woke, but all the women in this episode are hyper incompetent>dont legitimize corlys' bastards because PR while she is actively demonizing everyone else she meets within two days>steal from the rich and give to the poor>have that half asian whore anywhere near her when her every word is poisoni get that they have to follow the books, but they could have tried to make rhaenyra look like shes in an impossible situation, rather than one she actively created by being a dumb impulsive cunt with a migraine
>>221571557i'm your show your grace
Who caught the rats for dinner?
>>221571540>>221571563even when dunk and egg goes for the bleak grey ugly filter look it still looks good, how the fuck did they do this with a fucking fraction of hotd's budget and team
>>221571560>with a migrainelol, lmao even
>>221571574THE RAARSNANCE
>>221571560>dont legitimize corlys' bastards because PRI thought she didn't want them to get what was meant to be Luke's inheritance.
>>221571543what the fuck are you even trying to say, ESL?
>>221571592luke is dead anon
>>221571592even that would have been a better excuse than what she actually told corlys
>>221571574They cut it but before Otto is executed he tells Rhaenyra to take in a bunch of cats to be the new rat catchers. She ignores him but eventually does so after she almost steps on one after that small council scene.
New TV read when???
>>221571597bwahahahahahaahahahaha, my posts are in perfect english you are just an illiterate zoomer
>>221571598I know that, but she's annoyed that Corlys' bastards will get what would have been his inheritance. Not to mention that they're the products of adultery against her beloved aunt.
>>221571607Shame, would have added a lot of context.
>>221571592>Luke's inheritancecorlys doesnt have much left since the pirates looted and destroyed Spicetown and High Tide where most of his treasures were
>>221571560>covert???
>>221571623saar its poopfect enrish saar
I loved the Corlys scene. If I could change one thing I'd add a reminder that Corlys still believes that Rhaenyra and Daemon murdered Laenor so she could remarry.
>>221571642>>221571597you're stretching, bud
>>221571624>will get what would have been his inheritanceHe is a BASTARD and his mother is a WHORE
I support house black
>>221571643It was a good scene, I just wonder if when they wrote it, it was deliberate for Rhaenyra to be a hypocrite smug entitled bitch, or if I was supposed to side with her and think the man was bad for being me and yelling at a woman
>>221571643That feels like it happened 10 years ago
>>221571592I think the show's going for a distinction between bastards between two nobles and bastards between a noble and a commoner, and that's how they're settling book Rhaenyra birthing 3 bastards and then hating the fuck out of Addam of Hull for being a bastard. This is a George problem, not a Condal/Hess problem.
>>221571658He may have been a bastard but he was her bastard, dammit.
>>221568734>“You hear that, little boy?” Cheese whispered to Maelor. “Your momma wants you dead.” Then he gave Blood a grin, and the hulking swordsman slew Prince Jaehaerys, striking off the boy’s head with a single blow. The queen began to scream.
wait does Ryan Condal think a black dragon on a red background means team black?
>>221571685they killed the boy lol
Is there a single competent mother in the show?
Daemon here, just circling back on killing Daeron. Where are we on that?
>>221571677You’re being too charitable And Rhaenyra is worse because she didn’t even have the courtesy to carry Laenor’s children she just subverted the Velaryon bloodline with a random Riverlander because she wanted to
>>221571592>>221571677Pretty sure she just didn’t want to legitimize two bastards around the same time she raises up Joffrey from a Valeryon to a Targ. It’s still a dumb decision but there’s some logic to it
>>221571651The ant metaphor is very bad and not relevant to anything being discussed. How does watching ants carry food to their nest relate? Am I the food carrying ant by posting about how I don't like the show? Am I acting servile hence the marching in a line part? It just doesn't fit at all. Indicative of someone who doesn't have a good grasp of this language, or is very stupid and mad and quickly typed a seething "i'm above it all, see!?" metaphor without thinking.
>>221569101she should start lifting
>rewatched Dunk>see ep3Its like going from a fine restaurant prepared steak with a nice side dish and great wine then coming home to eat a lunchable
>>221571721I was only replying to you trying to call him ESL. Now you've exposed yourself as the one who is ESL as you literally didn't understand the meaning behind is very obvious point. Don't call others ESL when you struggle with basic reading comprehension and analysis, retard.
does daemon care about his black daughters lol
>>221571693i wouldn't be surprised
This episode is so fucking bad, I can only suspect HBO is paying indians to flood forums to try to talk it up
>>221571642BTFO'd over and over, and finally broken. twitter is more your level, you can head on back now>>221571721>still doesn't get itmy sides
>the Targaryen sigil became 4-legged because Rhaenyra burnt all the 2-legged Gold-on-Green Aegon II sigils and all 2-legged Targaryen Sigils predate the Dance of the Dragonsthanks for the autism, Condal.

>>221568896Sonoya looks pregnant, i want her to show her nude fuller body now instead of the stick form she always parade around.
>Bro, fuckin' chill out the plebs can hear you.
>>221571135>wait so Daemon took the fake prince back without its dragon?shouldn't this have been when Daemon suspected that this wasn't the real Daeron? Daemon has the most knowledge of Dragon bonds than any man alive at this point
>>221571797>le im mad crazy makeup
>>221571797>Yeah so, for PR reasons your dinasty has to die out. Don't get too mad about it, appreciate the sacrifices you made but i simply don't need you anymore, byeWhat did she expect to happen. His son has a dragon, and all Aegon needs to get them on his side is offer them a piece of paper
>>221571828he was so based
>Will you blame me for what men have done!?Geez, I get it already men are le bad and responsible for all the problems in the show.
Notice how the woman who raises up the noble hoarding grain matter is Aemond's whore, Silvye. Do you guys think there's something sketchy with that?
>>221569178this was before she was ousted of the council. >trust in men despite being jealous of Rhaenyra>get marginalized>pout and discover punk rock is better than women for Trump >apologize to Rhaenyra and align with herAlicent is intended to be hated
>>221569117Just ck2 agot at this point
i get Rhaenyra was mad at the upper class hoarding the food but wasn't the famine brought on by her blockade in the first place?
>>221570609Everyone around Rhaenyra needs to act like a unstsbable schizoid, altought in Daemon's case hes a imbred Targshit so still somehow lore-accurate
>>221571843Shouldn't have tried to meddle, baby
>>221569209yes you are
>>221571870Congrats anon for watching the show and listening to the dialogue
>>221571870Some man's fault
>>221571870She may have ordered it, but was men who actually implemented it. Not her fault.
>>221571475Why does Ormund have such a noticeable lisp at 0:47?
>>221571883did the showrunners watch and listen to the show?
>>221571870Yes, Manderly literally points that out.She starved the city and is now punishing the people who protected themselves. Yes, the nobles were selfish, but no more selfish than she was when she starved an entire city to get a throne. She has absolutely zero moral highground in that room
>>221569176mine fucking sucks...
>>221571882Did she cut herself on the throne?
>>221571908he didn't watch the show or listen to the dialogue after all
>>221571870>will you blame me for what men have done
>>221571917she's having her period
>>221571797>You think this is something--? You think this is bad? This? This USURPATION? She's done worse! That coronation! Are you telling me that a king just happens to change heirs like that? No, she orchestrated it! Alicent! She DEFECATED ON THE WEIRWOOD! And I spared her! And I shouldn't have, I took her into my own counsel! What was I thinking?! She'll never change. She'll never change! Ever since she married my dad, always the same. Couldn't keep her hands out of the royal treasury. "But not my Alicent, couldn't be precious Alicent!" Stealing me blind! And she gets to choose heirs?! What a sick joke! I should have burned her when I had the chance!
>>221571932Eww
>>221571924you know just cause the show calls it out as stupid doesnt make it any less stupid especially when you know most people are gonna think rhaenyra is in the right and the show will go on to absolving her of the blame anyway
>>221571720>same time she raises up Joffrey from a Valeryon to a Targ.does she want joffery to take the iron throne and driftmark at the same time? and thats why she doesn't want to legitimise adam and alyn on top of all the other reasons mentioned
>>221571936lol
>>221571932Every day I thank the Stranger I'm a homo, females are fucking weird
So it's confirmed this is ending in season 4. So we're not getting the regency. But honestly idk, I wonder if Unwin is just gonna get completely cut from the show. Moreover, do you think normalfags are gonna have a huge backlash at the ending of HotD being everyone dies, and a crying Aegon III is coronated standing next to Jaehaera as the last two surviving Targaryens (and whatever they decide to do with Viserys II)?
>>221571926>oh it's a Rhaenyra episode
>>221571778kek, a for effort though
>>221571964>why's this bitch wearing my human's stuff?t. Tessarion
>>221571952I might be giving her too much credit but I like to think she’s fine giving up driftmark, eventually, just that the optics of doing it make Joffrey look more of a bastard so it needs to be done from a position of strength
>>221571964they couldn't give the dragon a less retardedly-action-figure-looking pose here?
>Rhaenyra's plan is to send Daeron to the Wall or execute himDo the showrunners not understand what wards/hostages are for? Do they not understand that Theon Greyjoy was a ward at Winterfell to keep the Greyjoys in check, and that executing or sending him to the Wall would undo the pressure they had over them?If anyone's getting offered to take the Black, it's Aemond and Aegon. Besides, she even knows the prophecy, she should know better that the world would be a better place with Targs on the Wall and could offer that as a settlement with Alicent.
>>221571970Get yo fat ass back here.
this show is fucking stupid
>>221569178gods the hairstyles were good then
well?
>>221572013t. Aemon the dragonkinght
>>221572023
>>221572023I think whoever made that post is, if not trolling, deserving of execution
>>221572035kek
>>221571968I honestly don't know how we dont get at least up until hour of the wolf. There are 13 episodes left in total now and this season is ending on tumbleton. That leaves 8 episodes after that for Fall of Kings Landing riots etc., DaemonD bowl, death of Rhaenyra and Aegon, Hugh and Ulfs death. Then maybe we get Baratheon trying his last ditch retard attack on kings landing and then Cregan comes and wraps everything up with Aegon3 on the throne. Dalton Grejoy was mentioned twice last season and they brought up Johanna Lannister this episode so they might do something there but i doubt it.
>>221571720>>221571952In the books She legittimize Addam after pressures from Colrys, but not Hugh and Ulf as they are commoners without a noble patrons. Hence they get pissed off and joins Ormund's army. After their betrayal shes goes paranoid of all dragonseeds and tries to murder Addam, forcing him to escape and Colrys to switch sidesI suppose the hacks of HOTD choose to simplify by making her not fully legittimize anyone
What a shitty ep. It felt like you were watching the same scene over and over *cue sharp violin music and closeup*

>>221571735I guess he'll have to since they gave the Nettle's plotline to one of his daughters
>>221569678she just wanted to see some nice bodies
>>221571968>>221572051At this point its getting more and more likely Jahaera will survived and be in the show the mother of Aegon III's kid, like it was originally in the lore before AWOIAF.With their whole fanfiction revolving around the lesbian friendship of Rhaenyra and Alicent their blood sharing the Throne is the most logical ending
>>221569518>Was it deliberate because they were scared?punk rock can't do bad. it's all men's fault.>Sapochnik recalls. “‘If you really focused in on the patriarchy’s perception of women, and the fact that they’d rather destroy themselves than see a woman on the throne.’ That wasn’t a perspective I have ever told before. I think it made this show feel more contemporary too.”>“We said, ‘What if Alicent is like “Women for Trump,” and Rhaenyra’s like punk rock?’” Anarchy in Westeros?
