The Greens parading Meleys’ head seems like a parallel to when the Freys paraded a beheaded Robb Stark’s corpse with Grey Wind’s head attached on him post-red wedding as well. Both times, they intended to spite their enemies and show that they’re unbeatable while not realizing that the spectators had a totally opposite reactions from what they intended. For the greens, it’s the small folks, who no longer viewed the Targaryen and dragons with the aura of invincibility anymore. For the Freys, it’s Arya. They killed and disrespected her brother like that in front of her. She will never let this go and oh boy, how she never let that go was glorious.

I don’t think Alys willingly goes with Aemond. Or if she did, it seems like she set him up SPOILER She saw what would happen and where Daemon would be and she still sent him there. Daemon somehow knew to have his saddle unhooked as well which let him jump onto Vhaghar and kill Aemond. It seems suspicious to me. The way they’re setting her up as someone who is concerned about the innocent people tells me she’s not going to be to happy with Aemond putting everyone at Harrenhall to the sword and burning all the Riverlands either. She might have set it up so that she could kill two birds with one stone. Or have the birds kill each other
@that.canadian.vaper.guyTCVG5 ай бұрын
"I thought the dragons was Gawds" I *LOVED* that line. Viserys' grandfather, King Jaehaerys, brought peace amongst the realm when it was full of agnst and unrest due to the once thought perverse Targaryen way of life. How he, Jaehaerys; The Conciliator, initially accomplished this feat was through piety and relating the Targaryen dynasty to gods in human form. Showcasing and boasting Meley' rotting head to the people in times of war and famine, *after* the Kings firstborn was murdered by beheading, mind you... not the brightest idea. To most, I'd argue this would cause civil unrest and fear, spreading an aura of doom, rather than the presumed morale booster they hoped it'd be. For decades, they've not always favored the Crown, but the Targaryen sitting the throne had always been revered by the realm. It'd be akin to parading the pope or the Queen, cheering their passing. It's blasphemous because they are such beloved people and it's hard to believe it could happen.

Daemon and Aemond' paths are so parrelel, the showrunners and writers are not even hiding the fact that their fates will intertwine. Daemon, second son, his impatience and arrogance only cause issue for Rhaenyra and the Blacks. Whereas Aemond, second son, is cold and calculating. Just as ruthless yet his patience is proving fruitful for the Greens and harm to his brother. When Aemond and the greens reclaim Harrenhal, Alys Rivers will presumedly twist and bend his mind as well. I don't want to spoil what happens, but they are mirror reflections each other.

Agreed, and it kind of feels like there have been many of those despite being so early in the show. And I’m not saying that dragon, fire, blood and guts are the only episodes that really make the series great, but there’s just so much benign dialogue going on that, I’ve seen week after week. It’s really disappointing.

Re Daemon: As a therapist, I use confrontation to help clients face and work through difficult truths about themselves. During the confrontation, discrepancies, inconsistencies, or defenses in the client's thoughts, feelings, or behaviors are directly addressed. I feel like Daemon's inner struggles are being explored, so when he is out of that haunted castle, he will be healed mentally and at peace with himself.

Okay, you drew the line a Camilla (I am also a history nerd). Queen is just under King as title, the the title for the wife of a king always Queen (never Queen Consort). However, the opposite is also true, making King slightly above Queen (hence why a temporary ruling Queen is identified with the title regent, as while a king lives, she is usually beneath him). So, if the reigning monarch is a Queen, the husband is almost always Prince Consort (Prince being below Queen, but Consort identifies him as her husband as opposed to her son). England/Britain (the foundation for ASOIAF) has limited ruling Queens, discounting the first two disputed Queens (Matilda and Jane), we have only 6 - Mary I, Elizabeth I, Mary II, Anne, Victoria, and Elizabeth II. Mary I had a husband, King Philip II, who was a king in his own right of Spain he is the first only only consort named King, but only for her lifetime for fear he would attempt to take the throne from the English (he tried when she died), Elizabeth I famously never married. Mary II co-ruled with her husband King William III (who was her 1st cousin and son of the Princess Royal [first born princess of a king], so he had a claim too). Anne, Victoria, and Elizabeth II's husbands who all titled "Prince Consort"; Prince George of Denmark, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and Prince Philip Mountbatten - marking them as beneath their wives in title to avoid the issue with Philip II of Spain. Wives of Kings are always Queens (although not crowned such as Anne of Cleeves, Catherine Howard, and Catehrine Parr - but Henry VIII ran out of money). Ironically, Ehn Elizabeth II became Queen, there were two other wueens living: her grandmother, Queen Mary the Queen Dowager (meaning widow), and her mother, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother (Mary already took dowager, so she needed something else). So, for those who do not understand royal titles - if there is a King and Queen, either the man rules or they co-rule. If there is a Queen and Prince Consort - the woman rules. It is unusual (to say the least) to have a King Consort or Queen Consort, as King and Queen do differ slightly in heirachy naturally (albeit only slightly).

Well we've already had some confirmation in F&B that Dany's eggs came from Dreamfyre and were stolen be Ellisa Farman who fled to Pentos with them. Still the show might go in a different direction with those eggs after a certain battle. There's suggestions however that Rhaena might end up taming one of the wild dragons, fast forwarding her dragon rider status rather than waiting for Morning to hatch and grow.

Rhaenyra implied that Sunfyre had been slain in the battle. In the previous episode when they found Aegon's body, Sunfyre did look very much dead and Rhaenys did not look like she was burnt beyond recognition at all. So it seems to me like they are departing from the books and judging from GRRM's recent tirade against the showrunners, it would seem that he's not too happy about it. If this is true, then this would signal a major change in the storyline because as I'm sure many of us are already aware, Sunfyre is supposed to play a pivotal role in the storyline (at least when it comes to Rhaenyra).

.... but how did the Bracken's make the Blackwood's surrender? Daemon says perhaps less fighting and more persuading. Then says there are things the crown must not be seen doing. With "so you catch my meaning" in between. Hand up, I did not catch his meaning. Sooo what did they do?
