Even with that, team green loses 3 dragon and the brains behind their operation. At best youd have a dany season 1 situation except with even less support that she had. Once Rhaenys was on the throne, there was no taking her off.

That rhaenys stunt pulled me out of the show. Its gonna take a minute. You couldve ended the on-coming war right then and there and since we know that commoners dont matter to her, the only nice person you would've lost is Helena. As a show-watcher, good job being stupid, but as an objective viewer, wtf! If you wasnt willing to kill the royal family, fly out the front door. Shows of strength mean nothing, you have a dragon, we know how strong you are. Another thing of interesting is watching otto and Alicent work against each other twice. First with Aemond then in terms of white worm. Honestly Im going to be interested in seeing how this war isnt just a black slaughter. Take Aemond and criston off that team and they have nothing while team black has all the advantages at the moment

I think its more a case of the common people not giving a shit. One silver haired freak married to their relative is the same as the next one.

Perhaps the velaryons paid alot of money to keep her stupidity out of the books. Thats how Im handwaving it

So basically couldve ended the whole war but chose to make a cool entrance and peace out. Real bad ass

Since I dont imagine otto talks to his grandkids, Alicent had to be in on that, otherwise why was Aemond referring to Helena as Aegons queen two episodes/six years ago? This writing is throwing me off.

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.
