Chad Vader Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 The Cargyll twins story is shaping up very nicely. Wasnt a fan of Rhaenys and Meleys at the end. Didnt make much sense to me. She killed lots of smallfolk and when she had the Greens cowering she has her dragon yell at them.

We get it, it's Game of Thrones, but this show is good enough without random violent plot twists. Domeric Stark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingelheim Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 So it seems the majority of the leaks from 4chan were true. The whole season plot leaked. It seems modern studios are having a hard time keeping all under sheets. Domeric Stark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Rhaenys could have prevented a civil war with one word… wow. I understand not wanting to murder… but damn.

miyuki Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Rhaenys goes through the trouble of busting through the Dragonpit's floor, kills dozens if not hundreds of smallfolk, does so just as a show of force and doesn't just roast the whole family right then and there. teej6, Caligula_K3, Targaryen_Fangirl and 10 others 10 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) This episode brought to you by Quentin Tarantino. I don't think this episode was better than 8. Who was it that was singing praises for it? I would like to be mad about how the episode ended, because yet again another strong episode had a ridiculous ending, but out of all the people in the show who would have truly stayed their hand and not roast everyone, Rhaenys would be that, especially after her convo with Alicent. And it was definitely an interesting choice to have Rhaenys caught at the Red Keep when Viserys died. I was greatly confused about Otto and Alicent sending their own searchers for Aegon and being at odds to the point that Cole and Arryk? fought a duel. Luckily Alicent revealed the reason later. You could say that the episode was written to show some of the greens, namely Alicent, but also Aemond and Aegon somewhat to be in a better light. And for that, a conflict was needed with Otto. Plus they didn't do the rotting of Viserys's corpse plot, again to improve Alicent's image. This episode was written for you @butterweedstrover Why wasn't Harold Westerling seized and imprisoned? Him and Erryk? will likely make their way to Dragonstone with Viserys's crown.

That's very in keeping with the themes of ASOIAF, where showing mercy to your enemies always leads to the recipients doing horrible things to you later. nara, ladyinblack, Ser Scot A Ellison and 6 others 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt make much sense to me. She killed lots of smallfolk and when she had the Greens cowering she has her dragon yell at them. Yes, Rhaenys having all the Greens at her mercy and knowing their treachery, it doesn’t make much sense that she leaves them alive (especially since she had no qualms killing all those plebs). Are they going to show her regretting that decision. Condal (in Inside the Ep) calls it a complex choice, one that viewers may not agree with. He got that right. Viewers won’t agree with it coz it doesn’t make much sense. He also says Rhaenys’ sympathy for the mother in Alicent, stays her hand or her rather her dragon. But that doesn’t make sense either. She’s wise enough to know that her decision not to toast them will lead to civil war and many mothers losing their kids. And why is she in all armor. Is that how she left her room?

nara Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Was anyone else yelling Dracarys? How easily war could have been ended right then and there…though I do appreciate the badassness of Rhaenys God, I hope someone smashes Criston Cole’s head with something. He has gone from sexy to tedious so quickly. And I am tIred of the Aegon vice story. I do enjoy the Alicent-Otto tension and the Aegon-Aemond rivalry. Also liked Mysaria the child advocate. Somehow, I didn’t feel the the suspense in this episode. Will be interesting to see how non book readers reacted. The council meeting that resulted in the death of Lord Beesbury should have gone on longer and had more debate. Instead tHey invested time in the search for Aegon.

I think it might possibly have been her intention to do so. Perhaps she decided to back down at the last minute, a decision she may come to regret! I loved the twist personally though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point… heck she could have just had the dragon snatch Aegon and Aemond then fly them all to Dragonstone… she didn’t have to kill them. Better yet just snatch or kill Aemond. Without Vhagar the Greens would be hugely weakened. Edited October 17, 2022 by Ser Scot A Ellison Targaryen_Fangirl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zajaz Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) I'm sure the smallfolk will appreciate the sight of dragons in King's Landing from now on. It's not like they would have any reason to fear them or hate them after what Rhaenys and Meleys did. I'm sure only good things will come out of it.

Caligula_K3 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Show, when I asked you to give characters other than the main three character development and stronger motivations, I didn't mean that you should give Larys a foot fetish.

sifth Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 So Rhaenys could have ended the whole war, wtf She killed dozens or possibly hundreds of people in her escape, but she showed mercy, to the people plotting treason on her and her family?

RumHam Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I liked the twin stuff, and the guy playing Aemond is great. Otherwise it was a little slow. No mention of Daeron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
