Yes I agree but I think Vhagar is too large for an ambush attack on Meleys as she surprised from behind the castle. So maybe it was a little off. But still the show did great.

I hated the idea of that ambush attack, like everyone pointed out Vagar is toooo big for that , I couldn't understand how vagar got to the battleground undetected, but thinking about it I'm sure Aemond knows vagar better than anyone knows their dragon. I believe Vagar swam from kingslanding to the southern part off rooks rest and crawled her way in and hid in the forest , maybe that why no one knew she was there . However he's supposedly anticipated he will be seen from above so if a dragon rider comes from the East I think Amond hide further southwest, that's what made him undetectable. On another note I loved how meleys went straight for Vagars abdominal area and she clawed ather trying to take the big MF down . The book says vagar came from above and the show she came from beneath. I think if treachery had to play the part vagar should have been beneath the surface of the water and Aemond on a raft broken and thorn stranded and whilst swooping down to eat him Vagar appears and mauled her throat. Causing her to crash in the water .

For the first dragon battle it was a good fight.Sunfyre looked cool as a dragon and I like how they showed the personalities of the dragons. Rhaenys and meleys were badass/sad in just the right amount. The only problem I had was vhagar keeps one shotting dragons from blind spots. How do you let a flying castle get in your blind spot. I refuse to believe an experienced rider and dragon combo like rhaenys and meleys would be dumb enough to fly over that castle when they can’t put eyes on the giant flying dinosaur they just fought 2 seconds ago. Writers did the 2 queens dirty on that one.

Nevermind that Vhaegar’s ambush would be almost impossible. 1) Vhaegar, the largest dragon, hiding behind the “tiny” castle of Rook’s rest doesn’t make sense. 2) when Vhaegar comes up, you see her hiding spot, which should not have been large enough to shield her from Rhaenys. 3) Vhaegar was moving quickly enough to ambush Meleys, the fastest dragon, and Rhaenys, probably the most experienced rider. Which means Vhaegar and Aemond had to perfectly time: getting away, hiding from view, Meleys flying over the castle, then being in perfect movement to strike *upwards*. Safe to say I’m dissatisfied with the show.

I would only change one thing about Rook's Rest: Aegon's involvement. In the show, they made it look like he wasn't ever supposed to be there, while in the book, it is an ambush planned by Criston and it's based specifically on the fact that Meleys, while still alone, had a chance to take Vhagar alone and win, as she was arguably the fastest rider of her time (moondancer would've followed tho change my mind) This wasn't possible however with 2 dragons going at Meleys at once, hence Aegon's presence being inevitable, because Helaena was incapacitated by grief and Daeron was away to Oldtown. That's just my thoughts!! The rest was pretty neat and well filmed and edited.

I really like this change, because the books are written as historical text, with bias towards the greens.

@diofromava yes but it also takes away from Rhaenys kinda. implying that vhagar (who although strong, is slow as hell), is just enough for meleys when she has rhaenys as a rider with much more experience than aemond. it is literally said that rhaenys is powerful enough to take vhagar alone, and another dragon HAD to be present for it to be an ambush and an assured victory. aegon's part in this battle was necessary. instead they made rhaenys look like she was 1) dying for nothing (the king had already been put down for all she knows); 2) SURE she was going to die? book!rhaenys only realized it as soon as she saw sunfyre and vhagar together bffr, my girl would be on the dance floor in like 2 secs ready to fuck that big granny up. plus, i understand the book is built on biases and basically grasping at straws from both the point of view of the maesters and mushroom, but there is a difference between filling these types of gaps and completely rewriting a character as a fool with no irredeemable qualities. that is just what i think! they should've left aegon and sunfyre as a necessary asset and they should've left rhaenys be as strong and as confident in her strength as she is in the books.

@@butter7790 I agree, changing Cole and Aemond’s plan to exclude Aegon does kind of take away from Rhaenys and her experience with Meleys. However, I think it doesn’t necessarily rewrite her character. She was faring well, and it seemed like multiple times she could’ve chosen to disengage and save herself and her dragon, but I think Rhaenys was thinking in that moment that she has lived a full life and if anyone is going to make the sacrifice play, it ought to be her.

The show did an amazing job with the battle. I really enjoyed it and have rewatched it a bunch. With that said, I do wish we had seen more of Sunfyre vs Meleys before Vhagar showed up. And the sneak attack by Vhagar, again. I would have preferred the book method of all 3 plummeting to the ground as one.

If daemon had been around instead of on his psychedelic trip in harrenhall, maybe some of the stuff that went down could have been avoided as the greens wouldn't be so brazen in their attempts to draw out black dragons with the attack. Yes holding the cursed keep is strategic, but daemon should have just gone through the river lands to gather the host instead of waiting for them to come meet him. Send each force to harrenhall as they pledge support and then send the army forth to stop Cole's host from advancing so easily, as that would free daemon up to stay mobile and support the war effort.

I thought they did a far better job strategically with the battle. Meleyes and Sunfyre clash…Vhagar shows up and attacks both. Fueled by Aemonds disdain . Sunfyre goes down. Meleyes retreats till Rhaenys realizes she has to confront Vhagar. We get a good round 2. Then the conclusion…however, the small gripe I have is how easily Vhagar slipped out of sight so easily…still it was a fun battle…

After this battle.. Daemon and Aemond became stalemate. Reason: Daemon didn't want to meet Aemond in 1v1 and Aemond didn't want to meet 1v2 . So neither met others until the D day because blacks had no choice but for Daemon to take matters in his own hands knowing the possible fate.

Rhaenys went out like a gangsta. She was a true dragonrider and had a glorious end. I like rhat Aemond intentionally attacked Aegon. This set the tone for the fear that aegon now has for his own brother. This also set up deception between Cole and Allicent when he refused to divulge the truth about the attack.

Also the show showed us Rhaenys and Meleys was whoopin Aegon and Sunfire ass. The book told us that Vhagar and Sunfire basically ganged up on Meleys. The books were great but I definitely enjoyed the visuals

If I predict well, Caraxes will lure Vhaegar into thinking the ambush is done and dusted. Once Vhaegar attacks, Caraxes will be ready to dodge the sneak attack making the battle fair for the TV viewers. After all, she's killing many dragons and many want to see her down or maybe fight the Cannibal or Vermithor.

I acc think the show version is better in reflection - Aegon wasn’t supposed to be there so he almost ruined the plan, Meleys dealt with him how you’d expect a hardened dragon/rider to deal with a rookie, Aemond hesitance a clear indication he wanted to see his brother die in battle so he can take the throne organically, even at the end of the battle it’s unclear if Aemond goes to to finish Aegon off or not - besides all, the fact Meleys gave Vhagar a run for her money 1v1 makes the outcome of the battle above the gods eye more plausible - lastly, the histories would portray Aegon as a gallant king who went to battle and helped defeat Meleys when we saw reality was nothing like that (which is cool)

I watched with a watching party of 10 people. and so many in my group wondered why she turned back and attacked. I had to remind them. That was not her prince that was killed. THAT WAS HER GRANDSON. She loved them boys. She might not have felt in her heart as close as she did or does for her granddaughters. But them boys she loved. They did not choose how they where brought into the word. But they called her grandmother and she seen this making up for choice not to burn the greens. I say choice. cause it was not a mistake. it was not her war to start. But she does feel guilt. if she took the brunt for burning the greens. her grandson would still be here.

I think that the show writers have done a good job of showing realistic versions of what the unreliable book narrators claim happened. They’ve given certain moments and stand out characters their shining moment to make an impact that matters to the audience but wouldn’t have mattered to hypothetical fictional historians such as King Viserys’ final heroic climb up to the Iron Throne to prove his loyalty to his chosen heir body broken but spirit still hanging on for two last tasks, Rhaenyra and Laenor’s agreement to make the best out of a political marriage as true allies, and the honorable yet doomed final stand of the queen who should have been. It would’ve been disrespectful to the onscreen version of the character and how well the actor played her to just have her spiral to the ground dead. I’m confident that GRRM will say that this is the right way to show this on screen vs what he wrote just as he did for the Iron Throne scene.
