      we probably won't see Aegon's dragon more clearly until the second field of fire, where he and Aemond on Sunfyre and Vhagar take on Meleys and Rhaenys. We see 3 dragons leave Driftmark back to Westeros back in ep 7. He's said to be quite gorgeous, so they wouldn't want him to steal the spotlight just yet lol.

      @@ThatGuy-eu2vt She needed to get her dragon out from under the pit. She needed to leave. It's a logical solution to both problems. Plus this is just a show of force. It's now in their court. There's a lot that could've been done to prevent the civil war. But if this never happened, or if Rhaenys had become a kinslayer, it would still cause the war to happen, because I don't think Aegon and Halaena's children were there. They'd be taken away for safety sake by loyalists. And it would just continue as a hunt to them. The war was always going to happen when Viserys died. This is inconsequential to that.

This was moments after Aegon asked her if she loves him. She only answered "you imbecile" because that question didn't need to be answered. She showed it by trying to protect her him from a dragon.

    I was blown away by the details of the coronation. It felt like watching Nicholas II being crowned in an Orthodox ceremony with all the hollow pomp & circumstance of a rotting system. It's what I'd always envisioned from a GoT coronation. Tom Glynn-Carney was terrific in bringing out Aegon's emotions of fear, hesitation, pride & euphoria all at once. I'm glad they kept much despised Criston putting the Conqueror's crown on Aegon II's head. The Kingmaker is born! What the show's doing really well is the details, down to locking up servants. Usually the passionate debates, the sense of treachery & heartbreak are glossed over. We only see the regime change as a "fait accompli". This bring to life the mechanism that historically goes behind a coup, which I assume is as emotionally taxing for the people seizing power. That's why I like agonized & conflicted Alicent more than her steadfast source counterpart. It's more flesh & blood. She vacillates but her messianic fear for her children fates her to make a cursed gamble.

    • @Alewaxon
      @Alewaxon 2 роки тому +3

      The death of the master of coin is indeed a change from the books, because the were witnesses, but you gotta remember how the books are written and how the books are supposed to be interpreted... Alicent's behavior isn't really a departure or break of canon from the books, they are just showing the real events and how it happens... There is NO QUESTION that the 3rd party observers that "wrote" the books were HEAVILY bias towards team Black and many of the instances were they had little to no knowledges of the events they portrayed to worst possible interpretation for characters like Alicent... For that maester and that jester there isn't a need or reason to distinguish between what Alicent wanted or did and what Otto wanted or did or Larys or anybody, in the events that happened in private and behind closed doors.. So the public perception in the books, was that Team Green was evil and that Alicent was the master mind behind it because she was the face, but that's just it, public perception; this show is meant to show you what actually happens from the POV of the characters... We gotta remember that when the show "deviates" from the books, the books are meant to be inaccurate accounts of events, the show is meant to be what really happens, written and overseen (at least this season) by G R R Martin himself

    • @9clarkkent
      @9clarkkent 2 роки тому +2

      Alicent IS still a monster... what they keep doing is giving her "outs" or justifications for herself to explain her own actions- that does not however make them honorable or right at all. Comparing her to Cersei, In my mind she's worse- because she's a hypocrite. Cersei knows exactly who and what she is and offers no apologies for that or her actions. Whereas Alicent is like one of those ladies who goes to church and does all the right things on the surface.... but the deeper you go with her, they just gets more and more rotten. It's worse because you're dealing with someone who IS a monster, but instead of owning that, has convinced themselves that they are, in fact, righteous and honorable. It's the worst kind of bad... to me at least. Regarding Rhaenys... what choice did she have? Sacrifice her own life... But if she dies in King's Landing without getting out of there, then the Green side gets her dragon for starters... and then Otto figures out a way to bring the Valaryians to their side because they need them AND he's still butthurt about what happened last episode. She had to get out right then. She had to take her dragon. If she waits around for the place to empty out, they discover her and she's executed. Also, I assume she's going straight to Dragonstone to inform Rhaenyra about what has happened- as she doesn't even know of her father's death yet, much less the usurping of the crown. So in a weird way, she's trying to save the Kingdom. Yes, very unfortunate, but I think when you look at it like that, they had left her very little choice by imprisoning her there... with execution sure to follow... or some other fucked up shenanigans in order to gain control of the Valaryian fleet.

    @eadred9164 2 роки тому +5

    Rhaenys hasn't read Fire & Blood to know of horrors to come. So her pre-emptively nuking half her own family would've been OP. Having said that, the Rhaenys bit was to give audience a 'send home happy' moment which wasn't necessary. The coronation was fantastic in itself. But gawd forbid the ''bad guys' are on top in simply 1 single episode. Those who thought lowborns of KL have any obligation to support Rhaenyra are in for big disappointments. Aegon claims his birthright from popular King Jaehaerys' Great Council stating king's firstborn male son is next king. Viserys himself won it over Rhaenys like that. Best part of this was the politics, less dragons the better. Despairing mom version of alicent does highlight her humanity more than the colder iteration of the actual green council. A well needed adjustment imo but also a continuation of her very humane Harrenhall or knife scene mistake. Her self-delusion about the prophecy goes along with her show character of "hiding behind the cloak of self-righteousness". They've constantly shown subtleties in her character which audience wilfully ignores since we're watching this as a team sport and gotta cheer team lovable manipulative dad. Her being more humanized shouldn't be an issue unless one wants the show to remain grotesquely tilted towards Black (Laenor death,etc)

      Crispy is all about blind devotion, has nothing to do with respect, honor or anything close to it. Ser Harrold is honorable, Ned Stark is honorable, Crispy is all about image and ego. Alicent is loyal to her children. Visery made a choice and stuck to it, when it comes to Rhaenyra being his heir. Alicent choose to hear what she wanted to hear on his deathbed while he was high as a kite so that Che can do what she really wants to do without feeling guilty. She’s not as bad as Otto, but that’s not saying much imo.
      And are you seriously saying that Rhaenyra is bad person for her AND Laenor making a decision that would be mutually beneficial to each of them? Lol she is actually letting herself take all of the heat, so that Laenor can go off into the sunset with his love, but she’s a bad person for that. I also have no idea what you mean by her trying to delay her responsibility by extending her family.

      It's also curious that Alicent has been so obsessed with Rhaenyra's romantic/ sexual activities yet is trying to crown her serial rapist son as king and has a foot fetish torturer minion jerking off to her feet. Rhaenyra getting lonely being married to a gay man and seeking affection elsewhere seems far less morally objectionable than the company Alicent keeps.

    Honestly one can't blame Alicent in this moment. She DID hear Viserys talk about Aegon being on the throne and of course she would think he means his son. In all of this I really do feel sorry for Alicent. She was pushed into this situation by Otto and now has to deal with the coming rebellion herself. And you can really tell she does still love Rhaenyra, otherwise she would not try to protect her this much.

      Eh, can also be seen as her using a misunderstanding as an out for her conscious. She did what she was always going to do, but in order to alleviate herself of responsibility, she uses the misunderstanding as justification. She was always going to do what she did... would have just been some other justification. She's been treating Aegon as though he was going to be the King the entire time. She's been covering up his "episodes" with girls so that his name remains honorable. While confronting Aegon about the Pig/ Dragon incident... she told him "what they know. what everyone in the realm knows. In their blood and in their bones... Is that one day, YOU will be our King."

    It amazes me to see how people saying Rhaeny should've burn them all and be the end of it. At that point of time, no Targaryen has killed another Targaryen yet, if she goes on killing all the Green house royal members which as same family as the black house as royal Targaryens, even if Rhaeny flys back to Rhaenyra saying 'I killed them all, now you won' when Rhaenyra did not even know the war has barely started. Rhaeny would definitely be killed for that sooner or later; secretly or not secretly; with charge or no charge for killing half of the family first. The war hasn't really truly started for among the Targaryens until the first Targaryen being killed, then it just escalates and escalates to a madness, which I think is going to start really soon as I remember from the book, next eposide I guess, the season finale. That'd be a good end for the season1.

    how?
    why would she know he is talking about some random guy from several hundred years ago. thats literally an impossibility. its only us, as viewers who know that they have a secret passed down. which is why we know. otherwise, we wouldnt know either.
    theres nothing delusional about allicent correctly thinking he named her son as successor.

Besides, it's also quite satisfying to get right up in their faces with that dragon and show them "You just fucked with the wrong ones". I wonder how many on that stage actually pissed themselves.
