So Aemond was protecting Helena and Aegon was hiding behind his mommy. I think the writers are trying to tell us something about the brothers

I doubt Daemon gave a shit what vaemond said and rhaenyra, wasnt the first time Vaemond said such things in front of daemon, he was only worried about the fact that Vaemonds words were a threat to the boys

I imagine rhaes had some fun with him a few times.

next week is the last new episode till at least 2024.

doubt it

Im guessing that it was basically alicent fighting with Otto to get to Aegon first.

So if rhaenyra has prettier feet than alicent will Larys change sides?

Im more wanting to know how the fuck did she know to do that? Was that payment for keeping silent for the Strong business?

Team black or team green, at the very least, she couldve tested the targ fireproof myth

Why are they going out of their way to make it look like the women wanted to avoid war at all costs but the evil men keep forcing it even though its not necessary? These changes are to the detriment of these characters

I believe this one was a mistake, he just has an anger control problem

Alicent you can no longer slut shame Rhaenyra when you're selling feet pic for information. Also she has to be a dumbass if she thinks this is gonna be a bloodless coup. Im liking Aemond more and more each week, protecting his sister at the end was kinda sweet. Yes force Aegon to be a king when he clearly doesnt want that. Im sure nothing bad will happen Criston calm your ass down. Jesus! That dude absolutely did not have to die you psycho. Greens already fucking up letting all those warriors walk. Thats gonna bite them big time.

Only cuz rhaenyra set it up that way. Im betting that rhaenys was originally targetting baela for luke and driftmark before said offer

We'd know who she was in the next scene, it wasnt necessary to establish her in that scene. Previous scenes have established that family or not, if you dont have a position on the court, you're definitely not going to be watching from where baela was. That would be the equivalent of Daemon standing over Viserys's shoulder cuz hes his brother.

Perhaps if she was in the crowd watching what her grandmother was doing, we could say it was the show showing us that she's there. The fact that she's stationed behind her grandmother in a position of prominence watching her hold court tells us that she's doing more than just watching. Besides, if Rhaenys is not training her, then there's no point to her raising Baela. Given that Luke's "father" was actually on the boats at his age, saying that he's too young is a bit of a cop out and if he were to even try to go there and order anybody around, he'd be fucked up. Expecting people to be willing to teach someone who can't be assed to learn the job before he even becomes lord is asking a lot. Even if he does get lucky enough to find someone to teach him, it would be someone taking adavantage of Luke's inexperience to advance himself and his agenda.

Pretty much, Aegon was just cruder and the maid wasnt a willing participant in the aftermath like criston was

They didn't have to say it, they showed it. She was literally there with rhaenyss observing as she addressed Vaemond's complaints. Its implied that Rhaenys is training her. Shes not on Driftmark just visiting grandma cuz shes the favorite. His being young has nothing to do with anything. If he's not trained to take over Driftmark, why would anybody listen to him when the time comes? Hes not a supervisor, hes supposed to be the one in charge and he knows nothing about the place. He'd be more likely to "accidentally" wind up overboard on one of thode future voyages than he would to have any of those people listen to him just cuz his fake daddy claims him.

If Baela's at Driftmark being trained for something that's not even her inheritance than Luke should be there as well. Regardless of whether or not he's dead, Corlys isn't exactly a young man. He has enough obstacles in his life as a known bastard, why throw more at him but failing to educate him?

The targs are setting up Luke for failure. Knowing that he's slated to take over driftmark, they dont have him in driftmark or on the ships? They're going to fuck him up if he goes over there and even pretends like he's in charge cuz of his supposed name.

Boltons were able to do the things they did cuz prior to ramsey arriving on the scene, Bolton was able to hide that stuff. Mostly cuz the starks are stupid

One of the boys performed surgery on his sons face and viserys didnt give a fuck. He was more worried about the fact that people were talking shit about his grandkids. Otto's a piece of shit who's looking ahead to war, what's viserys's excuse? The fact that the only thing hes been shown to do with either daughter is teach one valeryian tells me that he doesnt give a shit about either one other than what they can do for him politically. Alicent 's considered the worst mother on the show and not even shes been that absent in her kids lives. I imagine that they had no choice in regards to Baela since it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that they killed Rhaenys's kid and likely had to try to make it up to her somehow. Since Baela was the oldest she was the one eligible for training and future rhaenys plots (which vaemond screwed up).

Thats another problem with the writing right there. The show briefly goes over this but without the necessary book knowledge, one would think that this show basically implies that she went there cuz she didnt want to be bothered by the political bullshit. Also, not knowing the going ons in kings landing is unacceptable for the heir. Even if Alicent and Otto were determined to keep them in the dark, either she shouldve had connections or Damon shouldve used his gold cloak connections to learn things. Honestly, the more I go through this show the more I see there are no good choices for king/queen. Just lesser evil choices. I hope whoever wins out at the end has a helluva hand, cuz they're gonna need it.

Other than that one scene of his teaching Baela Valeryian, hes done jackshit with his daughters. No comforting them over their lost mother, no bonding period. I find it a bit eye-opening that Rhae's asking rhaenys for permission to marry rhaenys's granddaughter to her sons when she lives with their father.

You can cherry pick his statements all day, doesn't change any of his previous statements in regard to certain events Just pointed out on tick tock but for Baela fans, check out her having to be held back by her sister in the scene below

This also bugs me. Younger rhaenyra would not have put up with being called a whore. Older rhae is an entirely different story.
