wonder why kids head didn't fall off during procession, seemed like an obvious "shock" moment for a show that doesn't really have a whole lot going on right now
i mean there were important moments like otto getting fired or the twins dying or ser cole failing upwards but everything just feels kinda unepic and unimportant for some reason. i guess it doesn't help the leaders all feel incompetent. rhaeny is just moping and paralyzed with inaction and king aegon just throws shit around and cries while his mom gets dicked. there are tons and tons of minor little errors that aren't really important but makes you feel like the writers aren't paying attention to details. Like the Kingsguard should be standing at attention when the King speaks not looking outside, or Otto calls his great grandson his grandson (people do that IRL so fine), no one announces royalty when they are entering/leaving rooms, Haelana/Alicent don't have kingsguard bodyguards around them always, just on and on.
i wonder if the older whore aemond was with is supposed to be the lady from harrenhal in the books, she was an older lady who "bewitched" daemon but then aemond fell in with her (or the other way around), felt kinda boring in the books but seems even more lame here.

When the 2 brothers fought i was actually shouted 'FINALLY something is happening'. Isn't an hour long episode supposed to move a story along? The dindu nuffin digging for crabs with the dragon overhead, wtf was the point of that? Or same guy with his brother talking about goat stew? WTF. Pretty sure I'm done with this.
Its a sad fucking state of affairs when 'Interview with the gay ass vampire' is WAY better than swords & dragons but there we are. I actually look forward to that show.

another episode, another hour of pure character assassination made by shit writers.
The moment the episode starts all the invisible guards who were spread all throughout the red keep came out of the wood work to round up all the servants who live there. guess they were all on their union mandated smoke breaks during the murder?
also lol. you could argue it's a simple mistake but the truth is the writers are so fucking terrible they can't even keep track of the characters and they legitimately believe Otto Hightower is grandfather of Jahaerys? He is his great Grand Father FFS. in the same goddamn episode they even acknowledge this (where Otto screams that Aegon II is his grandson....so obviously his grandson's son is......not his grandson)
Literally nothing in this episode happened in the book. literally nothing. Daemon has been in Harrenhal since before episode 1 per the timeline of this season. Baela (his daughter, half nog in this version) is in driftmark having trains ran on her cus she's a boy crazy whore, she isn't waxing poetic about her father's affection or lack there of. Aemond was never the target of the assassination so half the episode of dialogue with every character's reaction to his attempted assassination and the accidental murder of Jahaerys is entirely made up. No idea who this random whore is he's whining to, since he never whines about shit. he and daemon are about the coolest characters in the book
Rhaenyra ordered the murder of the child because she is a pure evil cunt. All the bullshit character assassination of Sir Criston Cole where he's this manwhore fucking Alicent and he's is deflecting his own failing's on other king's guard like a complete tool (he never fucks anyone in the book, he is chaste, competent, honorable King's guard and none of these conversations happen). Sir Arryk/Erryk didn't have to be tricked or coerced into his mission, he volunteered to do it to salvage his family's honor due to his twin brother siding with Rhaenyra.
These little side plots with the people in King's landing suffering from inflation (idk what the fuck this is supposed to be) is actually
None of this Mylaria/White worm/misery story happens at all. all made up garbage. Again Rhaenyra trying to find out who ordered the murder of Aegon's 7 year old son is complete bull shit, she is the one who ordered it because she's an evil cunt.
they showed Alyn again and finally showed Addam...looks like they reversed these guy's age and aged them way up....so i'm not sure how they are going to pass them off as the gay nog's bastards (they are actually bastards of the Sea Snake). Addam is the elder (he's like 17) and Alyn is 15. the reason they showed the crab catching/dragon flying overhead scene:
This whole angry whining scene with Otto crying about shit never happened. Otto had been fired long before this and Criston Cole was already appointed the King's Hand. But in this version, somehow "Sir" Otto (he's not a fucking Knight, he's a lord) whines and cries about dumb petulent shit then gets fired?
The only event this entire episode that actually happens is the twin fight, of course in the book the plan was better (but if she's killed here, there would be no story to tell so of course serendepity, the two brother's have to run in to one another). Of course it happens in a stairwell on the way up to her room (so there isn't the spiderman pointing at each other meme, or murder/suicide bs) but also, Arryk/Erryk is her only king's guard pulling multiple duties, she hasn't had time to appoint anyone else so his loss basically leaves her completely unprotected for a while (Aegon has already replenished his full compliment of guards)
Other than character assassination IDK why they made Criston Cole fuck Rhaenyra in season 1 and no idea why they made him Alicent's lover in season 2. it's bullshit.
These writers sure are earning their alphabet people check by twisting every single event to make the tranny dyke Rhaenyra the most sympathetic character possible, its all so fucking tiring. With so much work they are doing to fundamentally change all the characters they are going to have to retcon the entire ending or else her getting her well deserved and wildly celebrated death will make no sense.

and when they end up killing each other and each other's dragons (this season or possibly the next depending on how long they drag this shit out) there will be nothing redeeming about this show at all. Until the epilogue episode at the end of the series when Cregan stark finally shows up.

These little side plots with the people in King's landing suffering from inflation (idk what the fuck this is supposed to be) is actually
what happens after Rhaenyra takes over King's Landing. The first thing Aegon did when assuming the throne was to plunder the treasury and send 3/4 of it away for safe keeping in Old Town, Casterly Rock, and the bank of Braavos, he uses the remaining 1/4 to pay for running the kingdom and easing the burdens of the people, the smallfolk love him for it. When Rhaenyra takes over the treasury is empty. she has no coin and has to institute a bunch of extremely unpopular taxes, combined with how much she is hated by everyone, the small folk end up revolting against her and murdering all the fucking dragons, thousands of them burn by dragonfire just to kill the dragons, that is how hated Rhaenyra is. She literally rules King's Landing for like 6 fucking weeks, and manages to completely botch everything in that time. She is forced to flee king's landing with nothing but the clothes on her back, has to sell her crown to book passage back to dragonstone only to find all her people there murdered and then she gets executed and fed to Aegon's dragon sunfyre.

Addam is the elder (he's like 17) and Alyn is 15. the reason they showed the crab catching/dragon flying overhead scene:
Addam ends up a dragon rider, so this is what you would call foreshadowing. Well it would be if they bothered to actually introduce these characters at all..
In the book he isn't a nog, the Velaryon's have all intermarried with Targaryan's for centuries in addition to having come from old Valyria themselves. Traditionally the Velaryon's as a house are not dragon riders but since he has some Targaryan blood he does end up being a dragon rider.
This is a whole plotline from the book where Rhaenyra's team, living on dragonstone with a bunch of wild and riderless dragons, try to boost their numbers of dragon riders by offering anyone who can tame a dragon to keep it and fight on their side in the war. Keep in mind the Targaryan's have lived on Dragonstone for centuries practicing Prima Nocta and since Targaryan's are basically gods to commoners everyone is totally ok with this, so there's tons and tons of Targaryan bastards spread around dragonstone and surrounding lands.
many many die and most of the dragons are not tamed, but 3 end up tamed by Addam (Velaryon) and 2 other bastards. of course this plan goes awry as the moment the tables turn in the war, the other 2 bastards swap sides and join Team Green. Addam ends up killing them/dying in another dragon massacre where the last remaining dragons basically die

the smith in kings landing, the jogger who works the shipyard and the Jogger with the crabs end up being major characters and it will make sense soon enough. They are Introducing them now because TV writers prefer to spread shit out evenly Ona a season but then it ends up not making as much sense. If you got a solid 15 arc with them later on instead of 1 minute a week it would be way better.

I think they are just going to cut out the Laenor bastards angle since we know for sure he’s gay unlike the book which is rumors, everyone knows it’s true but I don’t think they outright confirm it - so here they will just be Corlys bastards so they are older to make the age gap make more sense of Corlys having bastards in his youth. The ages on this show is fucked.
I hate that they have clearly taken sides as writers. I stead of a civil war of awful people they are making Rheanerya a hero. She didn’t know about the killing. Her thrones was taken cause she’s a woman not because she’s a whore cunt who spit in the face of her own father by passing off bastards as legit. She’s an awful cunt that the realm hates, only has support because she does have the truest claim, and is an awful leader that fails at every turn.

Yes they aged them up but not for that reason. Even the books everyone knew his son was gay, Corlys was still terrified of his dragon riding Targaryan wife and only brought forth the request to make them true born Velaryons and claim they were his son's bastards after Rhaenys's death.
They aged up both of his bastards in the show so that they were bastards he had before he was wed to Rhaenys. They basically whitewashed him (haha get it) for the same reason they changed everything about team black (lol get it). Can't have the first black man of Westeros going out cheating on his wife or having really any moral grey areas. Team Green ie team white man bad, team tranny+black people good.
but yeah the ages on this show are quite fucked.
One of these are supposed to be 9 years old and
in less than a season he will have to escape on dragon back.. Rhaenyra sends her 2 last living children on a ship to pentos for their safety but they are attacked by the triarchy (3 free cities banded together as one, the people Daemon was fighting for control of the stepstones) and her eldest son escapes back to King's landing on the back of his dragon. His younger brother's dragon hasn't hatched yet since he's still a toddler and is captured and sold to a pirate lord. He doesn't reappear for 10 years...
