It's not just the dumb lesbian turn. That whole subplot with the rat faced hooker is just detestable. Now she's been pushed up to savior of the realm and queen's paramore out of left field.

Also the plot where the giant white knight who grew up around dragons his whole life gets roasted in .5 seconds, then the dragon goes on holiday to chase down his new basketball american rider. It went from house of dragons to house of diversity hires overnight.
So stop watching it.

It's entertaining enough for me, especially when they have the gross stuff like child beheading.

The prostitute storyline is boring, the Daemon storyline is boring. The woke black family is dumb, but it helps the illegitimacy plotline and they can justify it because they are foreign anyway.

I don't know why you and Sylas have so much rage about it, like they ruined some peice of art.

wrong fantasy there Chris.

Here's a picture of Rhaenyra and Mysaria from the writer's POV.

diversity hires....overnight? Where the fuck have you been for the entire fucking series?

Addam being a dragonrider is the only book accurate thing to happen in last night's episode, but he and his whole lineage were DEI from the onset of the series.
daemon is anthony weiner?

lol how on earth did you think that House Velaryon was "only a small part of what was going on" when they are a huge and predominant part of the series. You think faggot woke writers would pick some minor house with no involvement to DEI it up? The entire story involves them. The dance of dragons is the story of the the dying of the dragons but it is also the story of the downfall of House Velaryon.

Of all the changes to the book, character assassinations and outright heresy, my biggest pet peeve right now is that these woketard liberals don't know where food comes from. They think it comes from the Grocery store I guess.

Here's a map. Ignore the north half, the fucking north is huge but also cold af. It's scotland.

Turn your eyes to the south. Notice the only green areas of the map. One is the Reach, the other is the crownlands (the land surrounding King's landing). See how they are right next to each other?? This is where food comes from. Notice how there is no massive bodies of water that would require food to be shipped by boat?

We spent 5 fucking seasons in Game of Thrones establishing this. From Season 2 when the Reach/Tyrells were first introduced, from Lady Olena explaining to Tywin how many tens of thousands of head of sheep, goat, cows they were delivering to the city, to the tonnage of grains? all the way to season 7 when Jaime and Bronn had laid siege to highgarden and forced the reach to give up their harvests to feed King's landing through what was thought to be a 10 year winter?

A lot of food is also grown in the riverlands but since they are fighting/declared for Rhaenyra that's pretty much a wash.

See that tiny little rock island in the middle of the bay called Dragonstone? Yeah they aren't growing any food there. They live by fishing and trade.

The food riots start when Rhaenyra takes over King's landing and loses access the reach.

Interesting map. It does help to put things in perspective. I do have a curious question about one of the locations. It sounds like a Porn Title. What is the significance of the area known as "NUNS DEEP"?

This is the feedback the writers get that encourages them to keep pushing the woke nonsense.

If anyone missed my Myrrish swamp reference earlier, it's a infamously bad line from the books when Cersei sits the Iron Throne and decides to fuck the wife of one of her yes men as a power fantasy of what Robert Baratheon would have done.

Her whole thing is "Targaryens did incest despite the law and religion, so why shouldn't I?", homosexuality would be similar, so not really upset about a lesbian scene similar to one in the main books.

OK watching the episode, pretty boring so far and 50 mins in.

I don't belive any of these parent child relationships, I looked it up and it's because the mothers are 30 IRL and the kids are mid to late twenties.

Aemond is 27 IRL and Alicent 30 IRL. And he's an old looking 27, she's a regular looking 30.

The casting is a disaster. When they aged up actors it was only by about 8 years lol.

Terrible episode, way too long and boring.

GOT built up to one climatic episode every season, but at least the buildup episodes were just as interesting/captivating. This is just bland and stale

the actors are fine but yeah the writing sucks because every scene doesn't revolve around what a normal person would do in a situation, instead its written to specifically address "what if misogyny drove this persons actions" which makes for bizarre writing

rhaenyra this episode: "all you men won't listen to my ideas, just want to coddle me and do war in my name but i have good ideas too! why won't anyone listen to me!"

rhaenyra this entire season:

"aite, i'm gonna go look for my boys corpse and not tell anyone, peace out"
"aite, i'm gonna go on a secret mission, alone, to kings landing with no plan. gone for 3 weeks and didn't tell anyone. also i didn't appoint a hand before i left."
"aite, lets send this retard to go and tame a dragon, lulz it didn't work oh well"
"aite, imma send one of our 3 dragons to fight an army, i could send 2 or 3 since our enemy has 2 but this is a good plan for sure and wait did i forget to tell rhaena to run away if she fights vhagar oh well probably not important."
"aite, i'm gonna send some food to kings landing because my island is known for growing fruits. i'm not gonna worry about future food shipments or anything, 1 time is fine. i don't need any advice so i won't tell anyone what I am doing or ask for any suggestions. im a girlboss"
"aite, stop asking me to make peace with daemon he is a man and therefore i cannot ask him for help, why can't you understand this? I must only ask for help from my new dyke slut who he also banged thats kinda weird oh well. i'm also her boss "

I don't always have lesbian interactions but when I do it's right after I call myself the queen's equal.

I mean, I could get beyond the lesbian thing. But the whore literally says she sees herself as the Queen's equal. And the queen responds with "gimme some sugar, baby".

So I guess the Sea Snake banged a Targaryen when he made those two bastards? And the Dragon picked up his Targaryen scent from on high and just said fuck it, imma go get me a new rider?

Literally the only good in the episode was Aemond. As usual. They write character with basically zero depth beyond his fetal position trysts with his whore, but he is still the best character in the show. He surpassed Daemon due to Daemon literally having 5 episodes of nothing but bad dreams.

So much potential and yet pissed away.

I don't know why you and Sylas have so much rage about it, like they ruined some peice of art.

by this logic these forums and discourse in general shouldn't exist.

You’re such a fucken fag and fun suck. Dumb to boot. I came in here to post “we wuz dragon riders!” And here we are.

you should be perma banned

No. His wife was Targaryan, his trueborn children (who are all now dead) were all half Targaryan. The mother of his bastards was a common dock girl named mouse. She's like a 1st mate or something on one of his ships.

Targaryan and Velaryon's have intermarried for 200 years at this point in the timeline so he naturally has some dragon blood in him which he passed down to his bastards, this is another reason why it was ridiculous to race swap the Velaryons. How is he coal black when half his ancestors are Targaryans? But yes Corlys has enough blood of the dragon that he could be a dragon rider. But he's like 71 years old at this point in the story so he ain't riding shit. 71 is ancient at this point in time.

There are 3 houses which descended from Valyria. The Velaryon's who were sailors, the Celtigars who were fisherman/crabbers, and the Targaryans who were dragonlords. Only Targaryans are dragon riders but since both Velaryon's and Celtigar's originally came from Valyria and had intermarried various dragonlord houses in their history before they came to westeros, they both have some dragon blood in them which is why the Targaryan's interwed with them, but mostly with Velaryon's, they were at least merchants, the Celtigars are basically the lowest of peasants to targaryans, even though they are technically a minor noble house.

After all Incest is a careful balancing act if you always wed brother to sister in like 2-3 generations you're all gonna be fucking retarded. The thought was even if the other 2 families are only 5% blood of the dragon then it's better than mating with the mud people which were Westerosi families.

They did this for 100 years before Aegon conquered westeros and his half brother and champion Orys Baratheon slew the last dondarrion king who ruled storms end and he wed his daughter. That basically established a 4th "Valyrian" house but he was only half so his descendants were only at most 1/4. At this point they all started to intermix with the westerosi houses so you end up with random houses with targaryan great grand mothers and shit.

It stopped really mattering after all the dragons died but the Targaryans still tried to keep their blood pure until Danaerys time.

Famous last words of actors throughout history. It felt right for the characters.

I'm sure Marlon Brando said the exact same thing when he adlibed slipping his cock into Maria Schneider's ass instead of just pretending to do it in Last Tango in Paris.
I had to look this up, because I hadn't heard this. The controversy wasn't that he penetrated her (he didn't), it was that the butter scene wasn't in the original scene and the director didn't tell her about the change because he wanted a "real" response. Here's one of her quotes about the scene: "“Marlon said to me: ‘Maria, don’t worry, it’s just a movie,’ but during the scene, even though what Marlon was doing wasn’t real, I was crying real tears,” she said."


As for this show...it's ok. The Harrenhal stuff got boring 2-3 episodes ago. And the queen riding her dragon would be a lot less dangerous than sneaking into King's Landing...plus all the other stuff others have mentioned.

I need with certainty when the white knight was roasted that a black man or woman was going to be on that dragon.

Hey I'm posting my own critiques, but there's something unhinged about a weekly wall of text crying about differences to source material rhat doesn't really exist in the way claimed.

Sorry you don't have an echo chamber, have you tried reddit?
