BobbyPhil1781 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Finally able to watch and am bummed. Regardless, a fantastic episode and it was perfectly shot and executed. Watched the dialogue from the creators afterwards and they said "we don't know the condition of Sunfyre or Aegon"...... How the hell could either of them had survived that??

Aegon is basically anakin 2.0 but we've seen literal zombies in GOT so you'd be amazed at what "medicine" can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right in the sense of I forget this world is what this world is (The Mountain being an example) but this would be some gnarly magic to keep these two going lol. Sunfyre was breathing very faintly at the end so there's that to lean on but still.... Guess we'll see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Prince Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Looks back I’m realizing how stupid Rhaenyra’s plan to go to KL to persuade Alicent was. Did she think Alicent could just go to her council and be like “ so hey guys, I know my grandsons head was just cut off his body, but let’s just give her the claim to the throne” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Alicent started going full Cersei this past episode. You never go full Cersei. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not arguing, just curious. To me it seems like she’s coming to terms with/knows Viserys actually didn’t change his mind last minute, but she knows that revealing that won’t change a thing, so what good would it do. The war has started, heirs have died on both sides, it’s irreversible at this point. I don’t find her stance particularly “evil” or “maniacal” like Cersei seemed to be at times. I feel like maybe some book readers may see it differently, but tbh Alicent hasn’t been any more annoying/manipulative than Rhaenyra at this point in the show imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what was said between them two, the war was gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what was said between them two, the war was gonna happen. It was a selfish decision about her needing closure. She almost got 3 different versions of it while talking to Alicent, but she got what she needed. A small part of her still believed (naively) that her and Alicent could somehow figure out a sort of peace before all out dragon warfare was unleashed. Rhaenyra needed to hear it from Alicent herself, or a small part of her would continue to believe that this war wasn't necessary and she'd hold back.

Ty21 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Why do these dip****s keep postulating Aemond becomes the night king. The night king has been around for thousands of years and GoT literally shows him being ******* created Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 They are really trying to prop up Rhaneyra as a character by giving her stuff to do that Daemon did in the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is she not as prominent in the books? I feel like she's not really used often in the show so if she's getting more screen time for other people's tasks in the books, that gives me the impression she's just.... well, kinda just there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
