There is simply no good guy in this story and the book is just not very adaptable the way it's written. I'm still trying to figure out what the show will present as the climax to this story.


The climax will be Aegon being killed and Rhaenyras son being instilled upon the throne. There will be a false climax of when Rhaenyra meets her end. well maybe those aren't climaxes but resolutions.

I guess, but there will be one long-arse LOTR epilogue.

Following the tragic loss of her eldest son and heir, Prince Jacaerys Velaryon, a grief-stricken Queen Rhaenyra abandons her previous restraint. Fueled by a cold fury, she rallies Team Black's dragonriders for a direct assault on the capital. With Prince Aemond distracted at Harrenhal and King's Landing left vulnerable, Rhaenyra and Daemon Targaryen finally descend upon the Red Keep to seize control of the Seven Kingdoms, changing the trajectory of the dance permanently
Wow, thanks Grok.

No official episode title has been released yet, though.

A little heavy handed with the Shakespeare monologue to start episode two.

Like this is a play in a theatre.

I got a chuckle out of Alicent talking to the Commander of the Gold Cloaks. "We need to talk in secret" and the proceeds to talk loudly with dozens of people around.

Great episode. Aemond's rampage in Harrenhall was a bit of a letdown, but I thought they executed the plot pretty well.

We still don't know if Tyland survived, though. Interesting.

Next week doesn't look too exciting.

Loved the shot of Rhaenyra walking up to the throne, through Hightower blood (and the reflection of the throne in the blood waiting for her). Thank the Gods that she had that good Valyrian Steel on the second stroke or we would’ve had a good ol’ fashioned Queen Mary hacking.

Aemond’s such a cocky frick. Gonna be fun seeing Alys do a number on him.

This show benefits from a healthy dose of Daemon handling business.

That Strong boy had it made and he blew it. After he got Aemond in the kidney, all he had to do was run around the room until Aemond passed out.

I expected this week to be a slower pace after last week. Holy shite, was I wrong.

That was a great episode.

You can tell this episode was meant to be a finale.

Kind of thought the same. I thought this is how last season would end.

They’ve done a good job of making Haelena a tragic character. Girl is just simple. Wants to look at bugs and read books and hang out with her kids.

I just don’t feel sorry for Rhaenyra. If she wasn’t a whore who let herself get knocked up and try to pass off obvious bastards as legit heirs to the throne, none of this happens.

That inbred line with the crazy jaws. If that's their portrait making them look better, I wonder how the Hapsburg jaw looked IRL.

Good episode they started this season strong.
I guess we know it's got a long way to go, but to a Hodor it seems like it's wrapping up with A team black victory.

Was funny she had a black husband, every kid of either house had white hair and she had two brown hair boys.
