LanceM

Ryan Condal the showrunner had stated that the time jumps are done. As far as new characters going forward I am guessing since they were mentioned in episode 10 we will probably see Jeyne Arryn and Cregan Stark. We also heard they Daemon us headed to the Riverlands so we will probably get sone Tullys.as well. It is also possible we will see more of Borros Baratheon and daughter now betrothed to Aemond. And I am sure we will get additional characters not even mentioned yet.

What support? The only people we saw him getting support from are the members of the small council and the only person on that council worth a damn is Tyland Lannister. Other than them, who else? Those very minor lords who he forced to bend the knee in the he Red Keep? They are about ad important as the minor lords that Rhaenyra had on Dragonstone.

For the record Viseys did make Rhaenyra a member of the small council a seat she held for at least 10 years so it’s not like he did nothing to set her up to rule. but yes she should have reached out more to gather allies but then again Otto had been planning his coup for 20 years and he too had to reach out to see where others in the realm stood. This makes me think it was a narrative decision the showrunners made in order to add drama and keep viewers in suspense as to who will be backing who in the upcoming war.

so the way things stand now in terms of the major houses: Aegon has the Lannisters, Baratheons and the Tyrells? (Though oddly no mention of them) Rhaenyra has the Velaryons and the Arryns which I am putting in her column only because Otto didn’t seem to bother reaching out to them. That leaves the Starks and Tullys up for grabs.

Yes. Rheanys said she was going on patrol.

Just a warning to everyone but apparently episode 10 has leaked so I would avoid social media the next few days if you do want to get spoiled.

Rhaenys got into the dragon pit because she just blended in with the crowd that were literally being pushed in by the city watch. Not sure if Erryck knew they were going to do that,

Because that is the name of the character in the books that this show is based on. For whatever reason they decided not to change any of the characters names that were created by George RR Martin.

“The common people pray for rain, health and a summer that never ends. They don’t care what games the high lords play” -Jorah Mormont In other words they may not like the idea of a woman ruler but they are not going to do anything about it unless it starts to effect them personally such as a war that causes mass starvation, etc,

So I am guessing Ser Harold Westerling will be making his way to Dragonstone?

As far as Mysaria is concerned until I see a body I am going to assume she is not dead. I guess Rhaenys gave Alicent her answer. I can only assume she didn’t dracarys them was because kinslaying is such a big taboo in Westeros.

Not only that but she was shown to be a member of the small council in episode 5 and in episode 6, meaning given the time jump she had been helping to govern the realm for atleast 10 years. So she does have experience in that regard.

Mysaria runs a network of spies (much like Varys in GOT). The maid was one of those spies. We also saw this in episode 4 with the little kid who spied on Rhaenyra at the brothel.

Older Rhaenyra now has as a Daemon by her side. I think she knew exactly what Daemon was going to do.
