    It was impossible for Rhaenys to steer Meleys’ dead body into the water. She knew it was over. Her partner in life is dead and so she dies fully realizing That she accomplished her duty and tried her best. Beautiful acting from Eve Best (would hope some awards recognition) because she was Catelyn Stark level devastating in this episode.

    What they did was brilliant not just this ep but the set up. They made the audience restless for a battle then it came and broke everyone’s heart. Almost makes you regret ever asking for the battle episode at all.
    Edit: Also I feel like Rhaenys wanted out before she could see all the coming blood shed especially if her granddaughters were to be among the casualties.

    • @biana5604

      This!! I feel like she had lost so much, Laena is dead, Rhaenys was made to believe Laenor was dead, Rhaena was sent away and Baela is a dragon rider who will eventually go into battle. She’s lost so much already, Lord Corlys refused to make Rhaena heir to Driftmark and found out on this episode that her husband had a bastard son (possibly more). She’s lost so much already that going into battle first was giving her some purpose and something to do since everything else that has happened to her and her family has been out of her control. And perhaps going into battle first gave her a chance to choose how to go.

    I think I have to disagree with you Grace, on one thing. This show has not felt slow to me at all. Even though last week’s episode was practically all talking, it was intense! There was a lot of tension and revelations. Sometimes in GoT and now in this show, some of the best moments are within the dialogue and acting itself. So, I do feel this show is progressing at a great pace, and is on par with peak GoT. Just my opinion though.

  • @FlyingChess

    I think Rhaenys doesnt retreat because she wants her death to be full dragonrider warrior: kicking and punching to the (quite literally) explosive end. Kinda parallels Laena's death back in season one where both characters eschew potentially more "practical" options to retain agency and go out on their own terms.

    I wish the show had deviated from the books and kept Rhaenys around for much longer. She had some beautifully written, incredible quotable lines. And, out of all the mainline Targaryens, she is arguably THE MOST fit to rule... in terms of temperament, measured responses, and wisdom. Plus Eve Best is badass and brought such a charismatic presence to the character. She will be missed. R.I.P. Now that she's gone, who is going to give Rhaenyra constant reality checks, put Daemon in his place, narrate the tale, provide juicy trailer soundbites? Maybe Rhaenys will return in flashbacks or mystical sequences like young Rhaenyra. Maybe she haunts Corlys. I hope there is some moving fantasy sequence involving her spirit at peace knowing that Laenor is living his best life, and still alive all this time.

    I feel as though the bond between the dragon rider and the dragon are deeply connected emotionally and physically. We were able to see last season how Syrax physically became unstable during the birth and ultimate death of Visenya. In that moment, she shared Rhaenyra’s pain. Just as Caraxes felt pain when Daemon was injured with an arrow last season during a battle in the stepstones. I believe this is why the dragons are willing to battle one another because of the riders deep reason or passion for their cause.
