[@litpenguin2933]

One crucial detail is that while Alicent agrees that Rhaenyra will kill Aegon, once Rhaenyra reaches Kings Landing, she will find out that Aegon has left and run away. I think they will play it off so that Rhaenyra assumes Alicent warned Aegon to run away, which will cause Rhaenyra to get angry and feel that Alicent betrayed her one more time.

[@Wolfeson28]

@@dgfdfgdfg-t2o All the successful sneakings are really surprisingly plausible. Aegon and Aemond may be giving various orders to lock down the city, but they have the classic blind spot of the rich and powerful in forgetting that the people who actually have to carry out those orders have wills of their own. The gold cloaks have an inherent lean towards Team Black from the beginning because Daemon was their commander for so long and turned them into what they are. Combine that with Mysaria's knowledge and connections of the King's Landing smallfolk, and it's not that shocking that Team Black's agents can find clandestine ways in and out, or specific gold cloaks who will secretly help them. And then this episode, when Aemond just casually ordered all the boats to be shut down or constantly searched down to the keel, there was *no way* that order was actually going to be followed. That was effectively telling the gold cloaks to choke off the last line of sustenance for themselves, their families, friends, and neighbors who were already starving - the gold cloaks would never actually obey that, which is why Alicent was still able to sneak out to Dragonstone.

@@GlobenTrote Yeah HotD season 2 feels VERY stretched. Deamon spent the entire season in a haunted castle. Rhaenyra and Alicent had multiple secret meetings that didn't change anything. The whole Vale/Sheepstealer plotline didn't even have a pay off. Multiple battles happened off-screen like the Burning Mill or Aemond burning down the Keep in ep 8. My take is Zaslav wanted to stretch the seasons out + cheaping out on budget to milk more money from HBO's flagship shows. Makes me really worry for The Last of Us season 2 now, considering the showrunners talked about needing up to 3 seasons for the 2nd game. Already feeling like the same thing is gonna happen. Stretched out plotlines, pointless dialogs and all the action scenes happening off-screen to save budget.

People who complained about not having a lot fo battles in the season... Or the " I just watched 70min trailer of season 3". What did you expect? A battle per episode? This is GOT universe... It has always been all about the characters and their arc. Battles are surely impressive to watch, but it's really about the characters. This is a story telling, not the avengers. There were so many important moments in the last episode. Those who didn't see them, I'm sorry but you don't care at all about the writing or the actual story. Just go and watch Michael Bay movies. This season allowed to add a lot of dimensions to certain characters and evolved their arcs. And we got a detailed context to on what's coming. Can we also appreciate how great the cast is? Also, the book readers are always so quick to criticise and make comparisons, when they don't even understand that the book was written from historians point of view, it's an outsider perspective. Which means that there is a room for many interpretations... Before everyone complained thay they rushed up the ending of game of thrones and now you're complaining HOTD is going too slow. I genuinely enjoyed this season.

[@asimhussain8716]

@@roksi2210 Who cares if the book is lacking in details? It is the job of the writers to make up those details and make the characterization compelling. Not only did they do this excellently with Viserys, they did it far better than the books. They FAILED to do this with all the other characters.

[@roksi2210]

@@asimhussain8716 when it comes to book's adaptations, the writers walk on egg shells... Specially when it comes to something big like GOT universe. If they change too many details, people get upset and start boycotting the project. The problem with HOTD is that the main source of the story is a book which is written from three very vague points of view. The lack of details does matter, because until what extent can the writers take liberties to develop some characters? I think they did try, as you said, Vicerys is much more dimensional than in the books, I also feel they did the same with Alicient, Heleana, Daemon, Ageon and Rhaenyra. And it seems that most of the fans are not interested to see those developments and changes and all they want is a simple copy and paste of the book. I feel they tried to add depth to most of the characters, where the story allowed them. They have only 4 seasons to show the major events and try to introduce us to all the important characters. They're trying to develop and add dimensions to some characters where the story really let them. Perhaps if they could squeeze another season, then sure! I would agree with you they could play out more with the character's arcs, but it's really tricky when it comes to adaptations.

[@worldadventuretravel]

In *Helaena's arc,* they just skip over a whole bunch of steps. This whole time she's been blabbing her dragon dreams half out loud, half to herself without any indication of understanding them. In book canon this is largely how dragon dreams work; difficult to interpret and often just huge info dumps with no context. Dragon dreams also have absolutely nothing to do with weirwood magic at all. So not only is it a departure from Helaena's story to suddenly understand and know all about what's going to happen at the God's Eye, but why would she have gone that entire time knowing Aemond tried to murder her brother-husband and have said nothing? Worst of all was the writers stuffing Helaena conveniently into *Daemon's weirwood dream* trying to connect two disparate forms of magic as either a plot device or just outright fan service to move the story forward by explaining rather than showing. Even the weirwood dream itself was done on the cheap, ex. why would they show that one random white walker from the trailers instead of a horde of them or the night king? One creature isn't enough to tell Daemon a long winter full of ice zombies is coming.

Something I haven't seen people talk about yet but might be a plausible theory is that Sunfyre is truly dead Like Aegon and Cole mention and that (Spoiler) the dragon he has later in the books when he takes DragonStone is actually the Cannibal which he ends up taming and using to then kill Grey Ghost, like the maesters surmised was the dragon to do the deed in the book. I feel that the cannibal being the evil/different/more aggressive dragon would maybe get tamed by Aegon who is now more torn apart and intense due to his wounds, maybe its just enough for cannibal to let himself be tamed. This would also pair well with the fact that Baela's Moondancer is killed in the books by sunfyre, but it would be difficult if sunfyre is so torn and damaged. It would make more sense if it was the Cannibal to do it. Just a theory but I think it is worth maybe mentioning.

I'm glad Daemon finally came around and we all kind of knew that this was the only way that he would accept Rhaenyra. The shot of Danny only shows her hair, bare back and a bit of the baby dragons, I think Daemon interpreted that to be Rhaenyra. Like you said, he thinks the white walkers will be an immediate threat which Rhaenyra will deal with. I don't know how they would put Aegon back on the throne after the dance of the dragons based on Halena's prophecy. It definitely wouldn't be a power move but I'm assuming a betrayal. Maybe its 'an Aegon', as in one of Rhaenyra's children eventually? Something that makes me unsettled is the loyalty of people that pledge to Rhaenyra. Ulf like you said, seems indulgent and his loyalty is uncertain if Rhaenyra has a huge loss at sometime. He seems to be someone who wants to be appart of the winning team. Hugh Hammar seems to be more respectful, but as memeber of the small folk he is deeply sympathetic to them and you can tell by his reaction when Rhaenyra says that some of them will die in their attack. Addam, like Hugh seems more respectful but ever since he got his dragon I don't see the pain of wanting to be powerful or his resentment against his father that was displayed earlier in the season.I don't know if this will manifest later in the season, his frustrations seem to have transfered to his brother when he was addressing Coryls. I don't know how they will make it out of the fight with the triachy they going into it blind. Also, Ser Alfred was definitely fumming and thrown off when Daemon was pledging himself to Rhaenyra. I haven't read the books, these are just theories, so please don't comment spoilers below 😂❤.

​@@CrowzEyeIf you weren't so assed about keeping it directly in line with the books maybe you would've enjoyed it 💀, it's a great fantasy storyline you just refuse to enjoy anything.

[@somewren]

​@@atazaman1248but that's not the point of the story...? What you're asking for right now is just action, not plot just dragons fighting.

[@themeanhornet1070]

If you see that one rider walking in the garden, you know a betrayal is coming. Especially if you got Cartman dressed as the wizard-king and an old guy yelling out the window.

[@brittanycarlton8107]

So many awesome points with this finale. 1. Ugh the new riders, especially ulf bug me, I just get so nervous that having them as riders isn’t going to go well. 2. Deamon bending the knee to Rhaenyra was so beautiful and awesomeeee. I cried. His character arc has just been beautiful. Idc how long he spent at harrenhaul, I’m glad he went and I’m glad he got his therapy session. It was also so cool how he said “winter is coming” and they both just clicked! 3. Also really cool to see halennah telling Aemond what’s up, like finally she is legit telling her dreams to people and it’s so cool. It’s like she’s finally confident in it and putting it out there. 4. I did not expect Alicent to go to dragonstone. But it just shows how much she has changed too. I think she truly knows rhaenrya should have been queen all along, but bruh it’s freaking too late.

I would have loved to have seen Rhaena claim sheep stealer for the last episode, cause it's going to be a while before we get the next season and it would have been a nice add on for the last episode of the season. Loved that Daemon had the Weirdwood vision and we got to see a bit of Danny! That was a great addition, and also having Helaena in it. Also was so cool finally seeing a character with blue hair and beard!

[@EmmaSoyer72]

"Aegon will be king again" My boy has a mission🤧

[@troyc7726]

This actually was a good episode, season 3 gonna be good AF. Daemon needed to see the vision to calm down on his aspirations. Glad we got this season over with as far as him sitting around goes.

[@thepeopleschamp9076]

Stop lying.

[@TravelMore24_]

Stop the 🧢 this season had 2 good episodes out of 8 including a boring season finale full of filler scenes

[@kecleonboi]

You’re foolish 😂

[@iamalex.7131]

I loved this episode! But it sucks to have to wait for 2-3 years now

[@anneneville6255]

Do you think he taught Danny with the 3 dragons is actually rhenyra?

[@terrancethomas1490]

When Daemon took Sir Alfred Broome to the weirwood trees to talk, the whisper said “Traitor”. I think it was apparent then that Sir Alfred was about to betray Rhaenyra by trying to get Daemon to take the throne.

[@ryansylvester1993]

Unpopular opinion; I thought it was actually a great season finale and it reminded me how much more attention was put into this vs the GOT series. To me, it seemed like it really captured the internal conflict and the morally gray area that GRRM pushes for in his stories. Which is an element that the main series lacked. Cole lost that psychotic edge he had and his faith in the Green’s seems shaken, Aemond isn’t the stoic and dutiful guy he thought he was, Alicent and Rhaynera have switched roles now that the blacks have the advantage and Alicent sees her sons as the sociopaths they are and the Rogue Prince is fighting for something other than self interest. The next 2 seasons should have all the excitement we wanted this season.

[@Ninaloasana]

I'm with you. The ending reminds me of when daenerys sailed to westeros with her dothraki army. Like the calm before the storm. Although there are a lot of plot holes, pacing issues, and not so great dialogue in season 2. It was quite a good season finale

[@ctdog15]

2 more season? It should be just 1.

[@karenmortimore1852]

I agree. A rushed battle just for the sake of a finale would have been more of a let down to me. This episode was well written and Daemon finally has the validation he's sought for so long in understanding Viserys vision. I can wait for season 3 which I believe will be as good as the first two have been.

[@appathegoat]

@@karenmortimore1852 you guys have to be related to the writers. There's literally no way you can justify this as a GREAT finale.

[@stevewhite6241]

How can you not feel the dip in the quality of the show? Dialogues are reparative. "PERHAPS this....perhaps that..." So many problems.

[@sercharles3310]

Waited patiently Charlie , now I can sleep lol

[@emergencyawesome]

Nice, lol!

[@kaloyanhristov6336]

I like how they called Tyland Tywin ... saw what you did there :D

[@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121]

The guy playing Alyn was the MVP of this episode. What a great scene

[@HonestSonics]

Incredible mini-monologue

[@samratsur218]

Limited screen time maximum impact

[@NoAutoLeek]

When she called him Lord Tywin 😂 #NotYet

[@shaidanwheel6199]

U forgot Tyrod

[@Ra-Hul-K]

the lord who not yet was

[@Ra-Hul-K]

i guess the Lanisters has a tradition of retelling every embarrassing story of their ancestors, and Tywin grew up listening to them.. and he was like That's it! ima put an end to this embarrassing legacy.. even at the cost of ending the line of this pathetic house!

[@bellwalker4960]

It’s He. Get that correct stupid

[@TheRumblewagon]

I had my fingers crossed all season for a mud wrasling episode!

[@richtang4946]

I love corlys renaming his ship to the queen who never was

[@Zantimae]

& his son dragging him for being a deadbeat 😂
