I thought episode 3 was kind of a wasted episode

IDK about wasted. I think it was to show the blacks are in over their head. They aren't prepared to deal with the litany of issues that THEY created in KL with thier blockade. AND they aren't even winning the war the way they think they are.

The Targ switch was the only real issue. Daemon has been portrayed as smart and never would have just left Tessarion with the greens which would have exposed the deceit.

I thin ktaking some 6'6 athletic freak that lacks the basketball skills should be grabbed when he is in HS and trained to be a goalie.

We have an Angel in the outfield?

There is no girl boss energy here. (Not that I want GBE at all, but I would like to see a glimmer of the girl who killed the boar and sauntered into camp covered in blood.) While I appreciated a subtle callback to Viserys’ slow and painful walk to the throne, she didnt own it when she got there. Half dead, he was more regal and was ready to scrap if needed.

I think thats the point the show is trying to get across. Rhaenyra isnt actually able to do what is necessary to be a competent leader. She wants to be queen but doesn't want to do whats necessary to achieve it. In the book she is portrayed as ruthless but the show is telling us that reality and history books aren't exactly true.

Its like a kid that gets into his first fist fight. He's scared to death the whole time and only fights cuz he literally has to but when he retells the story to his friends he frames it as him bravely beating the shite out of some guy.

I also get you wanting her to be a confident leader but a confident leader doesn't get themselves in this clusterfrick of a situation to begin with.

LSU had the best year in sports. We hired Lane Kiffin and Will Wade. No one give af about the actual games.

So, it seems they (Rhaenyra, Baela) don't know that Rhaena was the rider on the wild dragon. Is that correct?

---

At this point it seems like they think the greens somehow tamed sheepstealer. They seem to think taming a wild dragon is impossible and are shocked that anyone was able to do it. It definitely wasn't part of their plan so it must have been a desperate move by the greens.

Supposedly San Diego the city is what you see and San Diego County is what the tweet is about. Still not sure I believe its real but it sure is funny.

You’re acting as though this is some “girl boss” girl power show, when in reality, the two main female characters frick up constantly

---

He's also acting like it doesn't follow the source material. Hollywood didn't make this shite up, GRRM did. If anything the message is that when women are in charge, everything goes to shite. :lol:

Eh, they've really portrayed Rhaenyra's frickups as being pushed on her by the men around her. And of course, Jace dies because he took away her agency and flew into battle in her stead.

No, I don't think they've turned her into a girl boss or whatever, but she's certainly been softened up for the show. Also, feminist sky screaming reviewer Grace Randolph, who has been given the first 4 episodes and does not like what they've done with Rhaenyra, has said she loves what they did with her in E4. Not a good sign, especially given the fact that the writer of the episode is the same woman who wrote Supergirl.

---

I don't think she can be a girl boss while also not be respected by everyone because she is a woman. They haven't portrayed her as some kind of genius, she is a lost soul that wants to be queen but has no idea what she is doing. The people around her sense that and take matters into their own hands because they don't trust her and it causes all kinds of frickery.

The greens are doing the same thing but its because Aegon is a burnt up frick boy.

No talk about Aemond? Guessing he becomes the night king with the witch effery about to happen?

The Night King thinks Aemond is a psycho thats too quick to kill.

. I’m not sure why Alicent looked surprised.

1) she didn't know Otto was even in KL, let alone in the dungeons.

2) Killing Otto wasn't part of the deal.
