Certain facial expressions make him look like David Hyde Pierce, Niles Crane from Frasier.

She didn't go there on the pretense that she was going to use it being a misunderstanding to try to calm things down. She wanted to talk to her friend face to face (not via raven as another suggested) and see if together they could come to a resolution. She did not know going into it that Alicent had lost much of her power.


Still strikes me as impossibly naive. They were buddies as kids, that’s all. I have friends that I’m incredibly close with to this day, and I’ve accepted that their random son’s friends’ bday party will take precedent over watching a CFB game yet this girl thinks her friend will chose their friendship over her kids’ lives. Wake the f up.

It’s pretty silly when you think about it, but the scene was solid imo. Especially considering what’s about to happen.

Also it’s been a while since I have read fire and blood but isn’t Rhaenys characterized almost completely opposite? Like a bit war mongery?

She was also her stepmother…

Things get weird real fast with Targaryens and relatives.

So I watched the trailer a bunch for next weeks episode. I think I have a pretty good idea of how it will shake down. First 20 min or so will be the greens amassing their forces by way of duskendale and the other minor battles and then 40ish min for rooks rest. Aegon will join with sunfyre to 2v1 Rhaenys. Baela arrives late and witnesses it while Jayce is starting the dragonseed quest which will have 10ish minutes for it and the conclusion of the battle.

No, she was hoping she would choose a peaceful resolution over many more lives.

But once again, Alicent wasn't in a position any longer to make that choice.

I’m ready to see some folks get flamed up and get some dragon on dragon battle action.

You're going to get 2 dragons vs 1 dragon in the next episode.

The best battle will be over God's Eye but I doubt that we see that in the next episode. In the books there are two big dragon fights so maybe one of them is in the next episode which would be near the time line of events.

Next episode will be Rooks Rest, God's Eye will be later.

That is what I assumed. Should be a great episode.

I imagine God's Eye is where we end the season.

That feels accelerated, no?

You're right, especially at the pace they're going. Maybe the fall of King's Landing then?

I guess it depends on what they're including on screen. There's everything with the Dragonseeds, the Battle of the Gullet, the Battle of the Honeywine, The Red Fork, then the fall of King's Landing. But some of that stuff happens in pretty quick succession or concurrently with other battles/skirmishes.

Maybe but i think they could stretch it so that Gullet is the penultimate and one of the other battles and prelude to kings landing is the season ender.

Have to think the Gullet will be the most expensive episode to date.

Fighting on the water, fighting on the island, a crap ton of dragons, etc.

This show sets the standard for dragging things out. So don't worry about moving too fast
