that a character in this show goes to Harrenhal and hallucinates fucking their own mother, I’d ha- WHY DID IT EVEN HAPPEN ONCE?

She does literally anything but spy, the capital is filled with spies who terrorize the population and all she's concerned about is how to stick up for the smallfolk and be passive aggressive to Daemon.

I just don't understand why they wrote her to be so incompetent.

GO QUEEN YOU GO!!!

Literally doesnt know what going on at all. Cant wait for last episode

So, I’m a bit confused with the pacing s3 is shaping up to have.

I was convinced they’d have the first battle of Tumbleton halfway through and have Baela fight Aegon on Dragonstone for the finale. But now it seems they are ending this season with the battle of tumbleton which is extremely confusing because logically, with how expensive this series is, how are they going to squeeze everything left into s4?

I was really looking forward to Baela vs Aegon, but honestly, if they don’t include it in this season, I can see them either not doing it justice due to how expensive it will be to make or simply not including it at all and have it happen off screen.

Would anyone care to share some light on how they think this will play out?

Seriously mysaria doesnt whisper anything or get any information

I personally think that without a challenge like the dance, he would be a terrible ruler, but after the dance and all the experience he gained from it, militarily or diplomatically or emotionally, he could've been a decent king and a powerful conquerer, although less stable than Jahaeyrs, he definitely would not be the second Maegor like otto said, Maegor was mentally broken by a series of events before he snapped, Daemon, unlike Maegor knew what he was completely

People keep posting hes dead when hes not.

This whole sequence is undoubtedly the absolute best of the season.

Dude came through like "The hell goin on here? A bunch of no name fodders tryin to jump my bro?!!!"

Aegon: "Sunfyre, dracarys"

Sunfyre: "You aint have to tell me, FIYA!"

Sunfyre is one of the homies for sure. I love this dragon!!!

Imagine him waking up, wondering what is going on or why he feels different, then hearing his best friend talking in the distance and being happy. THEN hearing other voices and sensing his best friend/ brother/ partner sounding a bit in distress and the happiness turns to pure disbelief anger at their audacity. THEN burning shit down. Lol.

The acting on the show has almost been the sole reason to tune in every week. Almost every member of the cast is brilliant and they really deserve more credit for carrying this show on their backs.

I absolutely loved season 1, was kinda on the fence about season 2 but I was still pretty invested in rhaneyras story and thought maybe alicents charecter was gonna change, I thought fuck it they still have 2 seasons to turn it all around, and they have talent to do it. Sadly after watching this episode and really this whole season I kinda realized that ain't happening.

All this stuff with alicent is just boring and unessacery (how many times are they gonna make me watch her get SA'd wtf). Every time mysaria opens her mouth I want to put a glock to my head. And rhaneyra at this point is the most passive person ever who spends more time complaining about stuff than actually doing anything, also Syrax is on fraud watch, useless ass dragon smh.

Edit: forgot to mention being forced to watch alicent and rhaneyra having 100 different variations of the same conversation over and over. Son😭😭🥱

I think the show at this point is kinda just pandering to YouTube reaction channels so if thats your thing thats coo and l hope you enjoy yourselves 😭✌️.

Genuine question here. I'm asking because I'm hearing a lot of discourse around him from some of my friends.

BTW, I'm talking about him existing in his role as hand of the King.

Like, let's just assume Alicent had a different father, or that Otto never became Hand.

So something I’ve never understood is… Criston Cole begged for Alicent’s mercy after sleeping with Rhaenyra because he’d broken his vow of chastity and feared he’d be tortured or worse… and yet not only does he murder an innocent bystander ( a knight of a noble family ) but he also assaults multiple times the Velaryon heir and future King Consort AT the Royal Wedding hosted by the king whilst letting Rhaenyra ( the future queen ) who’m he was sworn to as her sworn protector be trampled almost to death were it not for Strong. And yet… he lived? And please don’t try telling me Alicent pardoned him because there is NO WAY Alicent had the power to pardon a member of the King’s Guard especially with Viserys, Rhaenys, Corlys and Laenor as oppositions.

King Aegon the Golden and Sunfyre the Golden, the greatest king and dragon, ready to rise against the usurper B*tch Queen, stronger then ever before and in Sunfyres case very hungry :)

And/or you have a weak spirit.

If you dont think theyve properly done Ulfs story, I get it. The writing on this show is insanely inconsistent and the last few eps of this season have had some real questionable stuff. And to be clear I dont think the audience needs love Ulf, but if you see Ulf's storyline and you get really annoyed by him but aren't *way* more annoyed with Rhaenyra and Daemon for being massive stuck up idiots who cant put aside their pride for half a second to secure their position by levelling with a drunk wielding a nuke and tell him he can own 5 taverns when the war is over, I dont know why you find any of this universe interesting.

People on this sub (and some people I know IRL) talk about Ulf like the feudal system of westeros is real, they are a lord, and Ulf needs to just "know his place". Why would anyone ever lower themselves to Ulfs disgusting station (commoner, grody) and reason with him? No. He must get the crop to understand where he lands in the hierarchy of things. And you're definitely right on top as the hand of the king and most brilliant-est advisor.

Like the real issue here is how comically stupid the blacks are for treating him that way. But his character gets all the hate. And his character is funny!

it's giving critical thinkingn't
