    The Servant girl Diana is a reminder that Aegon is a horrible person by the writers, lowkey 100% she will be the one that will poison him.

      I’m wondering if she might actually be a dragon seed herself. She does have very pale blond hair…🤷‍♀️

    In defense of Aemond:
    1. On an active battlefield, it makes sense to be armed until you confirmed no threats or lurkers.
    2. Keeping the people in the city prevents them from turning brigand just outside of it, that can attack the same merchants he needs to bring food in.
    3. Aegon wasn't supposed to be there and has no experience, so covering for him might expose Vhaegar, so if he lives, and if he doesn't he doesn't.

      1) the blacks had no ground forces and he personally killed the only black there including the dragon. So that excuse doesn't track in this circumstance
      2) aemon keeps ppl in king's landing because he doesn't want the word getting out AND to deter a direct dragon attack by using the small folk as cover

    I don't think there's any point in talking about the colour of her eyes, because they have the technology and still won't correct the eye colour to violet for any of them in post.

    Seeing the latest episode and Aemond being Aegon-II heir since Maelor doesn’t exist here, skipping over his daughter Jaehaera, when in Andals law, it’s daughters before uncles, like how it’s sons before daughters.
    Which makes me wonder about a what if Aegon-II only has sisters and daughters, similar to what if Viserys only have daughters, but Aegon-II is still the challenge, but he only has female heirs, if you don’t count Daemon, who still married Rhaenyra.
    Rhaenyra would have *five* sons, so Rhaenyra has a more “stable” heir while Aegon II would only have daughters and sisters.
    The dance would’ve still happened because of Aegon-II existence, but after Rook-Rest, with Aegon-II only having female heirs, how would they justify giving female Aemond/Aemma the regent position?
    It be a very awkward position for the Greens since they usurped Rhaenyra’s because she’s a woman, but if Aegon-II only has sisters and daughters, who would be Aegon-II heir?
    Aegon-II daughter, Jaehaera is the only option for the Greens since they wouldn’t want Daemon or his sons, just something I’ve been thinking about.

      I hate this andals law excuse. If not anything else, this episode proves the greens aren't using andals law for their claim. They cannot name jaehyra the heir because she's female and it contradicts the war they're currently fighting. It's as simple as that. Andal law excuse is green Fandom creating cope for the actions of that faction

      ​@@aplusrecommends9406Does naming Jaehaera contradict the war they're currently fighting, though? They're saying "sons before daughters", not "no daughters at all".

      @@made-line7627 they're saying no women. The fact that the council of 101 skipped rhaenys or there was a council at all proves that. They do not want women on the iron throne. Alicent was allowed to by proxy of viserys' power. Sons before daughters puts jaehaera on the throne and they're not doing that because it undermines the claim against at Rhaenyra . Believe what the characters are saying in the story without inputting things the story isn't showing you

    If you ever do another alternate scenario video i have two suggestions: what if Jaehaerys II lived much longer like say 87 years, and what if Viserys I installed Rhaenyra as Co-regent
