I remember after episode 2 (the first Aemond nude scene with substitute Mommy) people were discussing his thinness, and I think that you can see how long and lanky he is. Even sitting in chairs, he's all legs. He's just one of those tall, thin guys we all went to school with. The same guys who could shovel food in and never gain an ounce? Yeah, I hated those guys. FF and EM are quite adorable in this clip. For Greens. 😁

On Fallon on Wednesday night (with Fabian and Ewan, there's the show clip in the media thread) they showed a clip from this episode with Crispy walking up and asking "Where is his grace?" and Aemond pointing at the steaming pile of leftover dragon (RIP, Sunfyre. I assume you're dead, but your rider is not). I was a little surprised that they used that. It is a kind of spoilery clip for the past episode. BUT, I am of the mind that once it's been broadcast in it's traditional time slot, watch TV and cruise the internet at your own peril and don't whine if you get spoiled.

Sarcasm at the next Council: "Okay, that's TWO 'my bad's' that you blamed on Vhagar. Maybe you need a smaller dragon? One that you can control? Size isn't everything, my Prince."

I read it as possibly putting his brother out of his misery, not actually assassinating him to get the throne. He's shown to be ruthless, and I don't trust the little one eyed shit any farther than I can throw him, but he's shown that even though he WANTS the job, he grudgingly rescues his dim witted brother when he needs to. He seems to respect the rules of succession. He doesn't respect his brother as a person, AT ALL, but he respects the fact that Aegon was born first and rules are rules. I think that Aegon was in agony, and Aemond was thinking to end his suffering, and if he got to be the next king by doing it....BONUS.

As if I couldn't hate the Greens more, parading Meleys' head around and giving King Rapey Drunkey Dopey credit for slaying her, will make my blood boil. Aegon has to be alive, because that would make a bloodthirsty kinslayer the new King. Aegon's toddler daughter is next in line, then Helaena, being the next sibling in line, and then Aemond, then Daeron. Surely Aemond would jump those two in succession?

Corlys was made better by Rhaenys. Eve Best is magnetic. The Seasnake without the Queen Who Never Was, will indeed be lesser to watch. Oh, I wish Rhaenyra had made her Hand, officially. I supposed Daemon would have had a temper tantrum over that, considering himself to be that. As for Daemon's reaction that Meleys is gone, I hope he's pissed beyond measure. They might have had a fighting chance against that ugly old bitch Vhagar if both Meleys and Caraxas were on the attack together. But no. He's off diddling and dreaming in the Creepiest Place on Earth.

Enter Corlys' new sons? And the fact that Laenor's dragon was restless and circling around the younger one last week? Fuck Vhagar and Fuckleberry McEyepatch and especially fuck Crispy Cole. When he gave that big sigh and got up, I threw the remote across the room. Yeah, I knew if was too soon for a most satisfying death of that POS, but I was still hopeful. And my my my MY, Queen Dowager of Hypocrisy. We certainly slammed that Plan B tea, didn't we? RIP, Rhaenys and Melys. I won't get over this one. Such was the trauma of their demise that King Rapey Dopey being incinerated was just an "ehhhh" on my radar.

And if there ever was a man who fit the name of Aegon the Unworthy, the current rapey drunken dimwit certainly applies.

Except Jace and Joff (and Luke, RIP) are just as much Targaryen blood as Alicent's children. Both sets are 50% Targ, and 50% either Hightower or Strong biologically, or Hightower and Velaryon (wink, wink) officially. If they were actual Velaryon's, they'd have even more Targ blood than Alicent's meal tickets. It would be a battle of public relations. Who's messaging is more convincing.

🤣 My money is on the dog coming up with an answer faster than Crispy. They'd both give up and start humping the nearest leg, first.

Well, he wouldn't be a Hightower if he wasn't. And if he has Crispy's number, doesn't bow to him, and possibly undermines him (or BONUS, causes his death) , that's as likable as I'm willing to call anyone on Team Green. Except Heleana. She gets a pass.

Damn. I need to re-watch. Totally missed that. Seasmoke got mention two episodes in a row. Does he (she?) sense that his true master is not really dead? The line "Brother he owes you. He owes US," from last week, and the conversation on who will succeed Corlys as Prince of Tides with Luke being dead and Joff being only six years old, foreshadowing Corlys having bastard sons? Oh, the delightful RBF that we will get from Eve Best if that comes to light!! Does Seasmoke sense that the two brothers are related to her departed/not actually dead master, Leanor? Thus, is why he/she is circling them and is restless? Am I reaching for the stars, here (tm Miranda Priestly) I was also rooting for Baela to BBQ Crispy. But, I knew it was too soon, and to do that would be to also incinerate the newly introduced and so far likeable and levelheaded Hightower brother. I am soooo rooting for him to have Crispy's number. Yeah, Alicent. You're a cunty dumb ass. Glad you finally realized that your dying husband was deliriously mumbling about a story that he used to tell his favored child, and THAT'S who he was thinking about in his final moments. Not you. Not your dim bulb deviant eldest offspring. You heard what you wanted to hear and your sexual assaulting, bully of a son is now (literally) drunk with power and lusts for war. And you are powerless to stop it. Not even hand jobbing the Hand will get you your way now. He doesn't pine for you the way he did Rhaenyra. He controls you with sex, not the other way around.

Same. One satisfying Otto scene does not erase the hate that I feel for the character, entirely. It's just that right now, pretty, dumb, bitter, sex toy Crispy has taken the top spot. It's like when the number one song on Kasey Kasem's American Top 40, would slip to #2 and a new one takes it's place at #1. Sometimes the old #1 rebounds and takes back its spot. If Crispy becomes a flaming man kabob for a dragon any time soon, Otto will regain the #1 position, I'm sure of it.

Same, on all but the Aemond thinness. I audibly gasped when the camera went to the long shot. And Otto was THE MAN in this episode. Well, except for the "let's use a baby's death to our political advantage" part. The ACTING was perfection. Dressing down Aegon was spot on. Otto himself? Still a POS. But he has moved down one position in the HoD characters whose satisfyingly gruesome death I need to witness. He's now #2. Crispy is in top position now.

This is the first time I've ever actually LIKED Otto. The first time I didn't want to smack the smug off of him. The realization that he's the only one in the entire place with an ounce of common sense was written all over his face. Outstanding acting by Rhys Ifans. I was surprised that Crispy was made Hand. I was sure that Larys was angling for the position. The Crispy body count adds up each episode. You could hang last week's child killing on him for leaving Helaena and her children unprotected and vulnerable and now the twins. And now he's Hand? Holy crap. Who is next? Unlike Daemon's body count, Crispy's is unintentional; and borne out of stupidity not cunning. Daemon doesn't sit there and pretend to be virtuous and righteous. He, and everyone around him, knows he's a cold blooded killer and to trust him at their own peril. Crispy kills those around him with fuck ups and these morons promote him for it. Ugh. Poor Helaena. How long before her brother husband starts assaulting her for the purpose of knocking her up with a substitute heir?
