The direction this season has really highlighted where so many other big TV shows out right now are lacking. Choices like that to linger on shots and let the natural dynamic of the conversation play out are so powerful, and way to rare on lately.
. But I’m so glad they actually talked about Viserys’s last words so Rhaenyra could know the truth. I hope we get more of Alicent’s reaction to the fact that she misunderstood everything and started all this **** for nothing. She darted out of there pretty quickly once she figured it out Viserys was talking about the Conqueror actually..
The guy playing Aemond looked anorexic naked.That part with Aegon and Aemond in the brothel....I hope no one was watching this with their parents.
The Harrenhal stuff was awesome, especially the young Rhaenyra cameo.
The last scene with Alicent and Rhaenyra in her shame nun cosplay was great, Cooke and D'Arcy killed it as usual.
I get that he's young but it wasn't very attractive, like you wantbto feed him a burger or something.,
Daemon seems to genuinely regret what he’s done. Curious to see what that leads to.
.. This whole thing was orchestrated by the greens with Alicent’s little mistake giving Otto all the ammunition he needed. If they are doing this for selfish purposes, then show them to be selfish and not doing this for the “good of the realm”. Clearly that’s not their concern.
While it was clearly a prosthetic, I'm surprised that HBO let them get away with that. It was a little much even for GOT/HOTD.
Yes, but since Alicent never knew about it she unwittingly threw fuel on that fire by telling him what she thought was Viserys's final wish.
That he was. If I remember correctly, there was a scene where right after Viserys’s death a distraught Alicent tells Otto and some other guy who was there too about what Viserys said, and his reaction was oh great that makes it easier for us. I don’t remember exactly how that scene went though because season one was so damn long ago. I think it’s fair to assume he’s been planning something like this since probably Aegon was born seeing how he started pushing Alicent on Viserys like a whole 2 seconds after his wife’s death.
And what a prosthetic it was

I mean, he had an obvious vested interest in Rhaenys getting the throne - he would have been king consort of Westeros. That he isn't willing to be consistent and grant his legacy to his granddaughter is unfortunate but not surprising.
That's honestly a great question. It's not entirely clear in F&B why certain children get dragon eggs and why others claim riderless dragons. I don't know why Rhaena wouldn't be encouraged to claim Seasmoke or one of the others like Silverwing when her egg failed to be hatch. She is fairly timid, but its clear she desperately wants to be a rider, you'd think she would have tried.
