Pretty dick move.


The show itself has been none-too subtle.

you can tell by the next episode preview that the build up is all over. now the cruelty and ruthlessness that made GoT famous is all were gonna see from here on out.

Great episode. My favorite so far.

The change of actresses coming up does seem like it’s going to be quite jarring though.

I am about 80% thru - so these Old Town folks just openly discussing treason during this celebration? WTF?

Otto just got canned, their grandson has a legitimate claim to the throne and viserys is weak and ill. Not so much treason as it is support of their family and claim. The Hightowers control oldtown and thus the maesters. They have power and influence

game of thrones

At the wedding of the stated heir, that’s treasonous talk. In the open.

Why is Alicient so upset about Rhaenyra and Cole? I understand it got her dad sent away but shouldn't she be relieved it was Cole and not Daemon?



Yeah I was confused by this as well. Like I get you’re pissed your friend lied and had your father sent away but he also used you and you know it. And to openly defy your husband, when he didn’t wrong you but your friend did…just left a foul taste in my mouth

That and Criston Cole snapping just didn’t add up to me tonight despite this being one of my favorite episodes of the series. Maybe if there was more build up of Criston not being able to withstand the mental fortitude of playing the game and losing his honor. I never got from him that it was THAT big a deal. You get to bed a Targ princess buddy. Ride the train as long as you can

She’s out here fricking a crusty (literally it looks like) old guy and the Princess is able to actually be with someone for pleasure. And then she’s going to be marrying someone who is going to allow her to continue doing pretty much whatever she wants outside of their political match. She jealous.



It’s kind of the only thing I can think of, which is irritating since I’ve kind of liked her character up until tonight. Tonight felt like she succumbed further into Otto’s plans rather than taking a step forward for herself. She thinks she’s taking a stand for herself when she’s really not

Are there successful examples of changing actors this far in?

We had to watch some actors that either sucked and we hated for years in GOT. These girls have been great, bummer.

Should’ve named the episode “We Light The Woke”. Series took a hard left turn tonight, not a good sign for the future.

Feast. People keep calling it the wedding. That wasn't the wedding, in fact the wedding was still a full week away.

It only became the wedding after everything went to shite and they thought they had better get this over with before anything else happens.

So is Larys a character from the books? I thought it was a little too on the nose that a guy whose name rhymes with Varys with a physical ailment talking about the free cities was sowing discord in the royal family.


My initial reaction of him was that he's a Varys/Little Finger hybrid.

Definitely the most woke episode so far. Somehow a bunch of lefty buzzwords ended up in the script.

Yeah they only have to agree ten years too.
Idk.
Maybe they didn't rant people's attachment to young Rhaeyna to continue to the fighting 'Queen'.

I noticed not everyone wears sigil all the time in this site unlike GoT.
It gets harder to tell who's who with houses.
