He snuck out and binder with the dead mothers dragon, as guests of that family. Although it’s not technically stealing. Thats what I’d call it given the circumstances lol. It was Shady.

@@YaBoyRockLee agreed. I just disagree with Alicent being seen as doing the right thing and her duty. We already saw what those things look like in GOT with character like Ned, Tyrion, and Jon. Her character is closer to Cersei or Jamie. Who didn’t do the right things, however they had a reason for doing what they did. Cersei started the war to protect their children from the truth and Alicent is starting one because she is afraid her sins will come back to haunt her. Let’s not forget she shouldn’t be queen and her father weasel her in there. It’s the root of the problem.

[@kyutal920]

Both Rhaenrya and Daemon wanted Laenor out of the way but weren't going to kill him doing so. Laenor was planning to sacrifice his own happiness when he recommitted to the marriage, but Rhaenyra didn't want that. Rather than forcing Laenor to endure misery, Rhaenyra gave him an out that benefits both of them. Sucks for the one bystander though lmao.

Yeah, a lot of people are ignoring the innocent man doing his job being murdered. Daemon and Rhaenyra shouldn't be praised for this. The realm will reject them eventually

It sucks for the innocent man that was brutally murdered and then had his corpse burned beyond recognition, it sucks for Rhaenys and Corlys who fully believe that both their children are dead back to back, it sucks for Laena and Harwin who had their memory disgraced with Daemon and Rhaenyra marrying right after she died, it sucks for the incest babies that will result from Rhaenyra and Daemon's marriage.

[@user-to3xz5yw5u]

The thing is Alicent is deeply unhappy because of her marriage to Viserys. She was sold out by her father almost as a child bride to the father of her best friend and forced to be a mother when she was not ready for any of that. She pretty much has had no agency at all for the things that happened with her life. So she sees Rhaenyra going against the rules and she resents her for it, because in her mind Rhaenyra should be silent and accept everything in the same way she has, she thinks both of them should be suffering stuck in their places. She turns all of her resentment and anger over her unhappiness towards Rhaenyra and lets it grow and grow. And that is what is really sad about it because Alicent's unhapiness is not Rhaenyra's fault. Everything that has happened to Alicent was motivated by Otto's greed for power, he doomed her.

[@ValidescopeWest]

Thank you! I’m always like Alicent’s suffering is at the hands of her own father. And it’s not fair that she hasn’t turned her anger on Otto. He put her in that position KNOWING if Viserys had a son with his daughter that there would be some sort of rebellion or uprising because Rhaenyra is a woman. So basically Otto purposely put his daughter and his future grandchildren in harms way of a future war. And then he made Alicent think that Rhaenyra would kill her and her kids. And there is no where so far to prove she would do that. Even letting Laenor be happy and free, she came up with a plan to spare his life cause she loves him. So yeah I’m never on Otto’s side and I can’t help but look at Alicent sideways because she is blaming Rhaenyra for a miserable life that her father put her into.

[@oberon9015]

Very well said; I agree with every point.

[@kimberleymorrison4781]

Yes! Perfectly stated.

[@mcahmad]

And dont dorget rhaenyra being the heir is all because otto wanted to get rid of daemon

[@iconoclast6555]

That is correct, at least until episode 5. In episode 5, Alicent learned from Larys Strong that the King himself gave Plan B Tea to Rhaenyra. That means in Alicent's mind, the King knew that Otto was not in the wrong and yet he still fired him. All the while Alicent vouched for Rhaenyra. So, at that point, Alicent knew that her father have always been correct. That was the time for her to trust her own side of the family instead of her lying friend. And from that point on, she knew that for the King and Rhaenyra, her side of the family are only second. Which was proven this episode when the King sided with Rhaenyra and her children. That's why I don't believe jealousy is Alicent's motivation anymore. It has become much more than that since episode 5. She now really believes that Rhaenyra could put her children to the sword if Rhaenyra pushes for her ascension to the throne, and she believes that even more now that Rhaenyra's children got away scot free with permanently disabling her son.

[@symonew33]

Alicent has every reason and right to be angry but the people she needs to be angry at are her father and husband. They are the people that didn’t take her wants and needs into consideration before they pimped her out and made her have a bunch of babies. Rhaenyra living her life and trying to find happiness where she can is not the cause of Alicent’s unhappiness.

Rhaenyra is not wrong for wanting to be queen but she expected Leanor to leave behind the kids , his inheritance, his family so that she could marry Daemon. True Leanor was ok with it but her asking of Leanor which she wasn't willing to do herself makes her selfish and kind of a hypocrite.

Once a dragon is bonded to you that's it. Even if they wanted Vaeghar back she would have just followed Aemon everywhere. Dragons only bind with one rider and they will refuse all others until that rider dies. So there's really nothing anyone could have done to get Vaeghar back other than killing Aemon.

I just cannot be an Alicent supporter. Rhaenyra is right; Alicent is a self righteous hypocrite who has made it her life's mission to see Rhaenyra brought low out of pure jealousy. She thinks Viserys lets Rhaenyra get away with too much but is totally blind to the fact that Viserys also allows her the same liberty to the point where she received no punishment for trying to carve a child's eye out and injuring the heir. Despite what she screamed at Rhaenyra, we know Alicent doesn't actually care about duty and the law because of the company she keeps.

[@iconoclast6555]

The impact to the realm of what Ser Criston and Larys did is very miniscule compared to Rhaenyra mothering bastards, which is essentially high treason. That has a huge impact to the realm because her claim was already shaky from the start because of her gender, and now she's gonna be challenged 10x harder because it's so obvious that her children, and therefore the next in line to her, are bastard children. If she wanted to continue fulfilling her desires, she could have at least kept taking plan B tea so that she won't mother children, but she's too careless, as if she doesn't have one of the biggest responsibilities in the realm. And since it's true anyway that she and Laenor tried to have legitimate children, they could have just simply went with that true story that their marriage simply fail to produce heirs. She has no obligation now to produce heirs because there are now more people in the line of succession because Aegon, Daemon, and Daeron exists. She didn't have to mother bastards at all. She could have fulfilled her wish and ascended the Iron Throne without any children and have Aegon as her successor. That would have been the best way to placate both the blacks and the greens and avoided the civil war. But since she mothered bastards, the situation has reached a point of no return.

I agree this all started because of Otto's self-interest.

I person just don't like alicent because of her self righteous and judgemental personality. I don't agree that alicent has any right to be upset with rhanerya for lying. 1) alicent lied to her/ kept things from her about her relationship with her father (doesn't matter if she was forced to if ur looking at things from rhanerya's pov) 2) they had a falling out because of that lie and they had just recently somewhat reconnected as friends but can you say their relationship was fully healed (not a book reader). 3) just look at the way alicent approached rhaenyra. If that was me and my 'friend' came to me in that manner I was not going to confide in her about anything 4) rhaenyra is aware of alicent's personality, her telling her the truth would have probably made things worse or things would have still ended up being the same way as it is now between them. 5) alicent's father was plotting against rhaenyra and was actively try to get alicent's son on the throne instead of rhaenyra.

How is Rhaenyra at fault? She was FORCED to marry Laenor by her father. Laenor turned out to be gay. Rhaenyra had to make heirs and tried but Laenor didn't perform. She swung the dice with Harwin and lost... having black haired kids instead of silver haired. Her father understood because HE WAS THE ONE WHO MADE HER MARRY LAENOR. I actually like Alicent but she was wrong for wooing Viserys behind Rhaenyra's back. That is morally wrong, but she acts so righteous. I do agree that she is doing her best.

[@likhitashakya]

Rhaenyra initially had the choice to marry any guy of her choice. Viserys gave her all the freedom. But when she didn't his hands were tied and be married her to Leanor. If she had been smart she would have married Harwin and none of these problems would exist.

[@MemeRanks]

@@likhitashakya lol what are you saying? She was still looking for a suitor. It had just been a couple of weeks since Viserys gave her free reign. And by then, she barely knew Harwin. What are you even saying lol? Why would she just go and marry a guy she never or barely any interaction with? Viserys was the one who REFUSED Daemon's request to marry Rhaenyra, then FORCED her to marry Laenor. To be fair, he didn't know Laenor was gay, but he still made her do it rather than accepting Daemon's proposal. Look where we are now? Things re worse and Rhaenyra and Daemon sill married. I love Viserys btw, he's a top 3 character for me. But his choices while understandable, are what caused all this to happen. He chose to strip Daemon of the title. He chose to make Rhaenyra queen and hand her Aegon's prophecy. He chose to marry Alicent without telling Rhaenyra WHILE KNOWING what it would do to her. He chose to refuse Daemon's proposal for marriage. He chose to make Rhaenyra marry Laenor. Why do you think he ignores how messy things have gotten now? Because he knows he's the one that put his own daughter down this unfortunate path. Still a great dad, though. Just not a great king.

[@likhitashakya]

@@MemeRanks Yes Viserys was the incompetent king and basically set the stage for war. Him marrying Alicent after naming Rhaenyra heir was the biggest mistake. Why marry and have son's if you've already named an heir. Everything else was a domino effect after that. Regarding Rhaenyra, she wanted to be queen and to secure her line she HAD to marry. Yes she didn't know Harwin at that time but she knew she wouldn't be marrying for love. She could have picked someone she deemed worthy to be king consort amongst the many suitors and have legitimate children. But then she didn't. Viserys was forced to marry her to someone. Bad luck he turned out to be gay. So she should have picked someone to marry initially and not have all the problems. Also she continued to have bastard children when she knew their legitimacy was being questioned behind her back. She is weakening her own claim to the throne by continuing her rash decisions. Does that make her worthy to be queen? Hmm

[@MemeRanks]

@@likhitashakya Dude. It hadn't been a month or so since Viserys allowed her to choose a husband before the Daemon debacle. You are blaming a kid who has lived in a castle all her life (her only friend is Alicent. Literally) for not being able to find a suitor. You are REEEAALLY trying to blame her if this is the argument you are making cos it is a weak one. Viserys LITERALLY could have secured everything if he allowed her and Daemon to marry. This was obviously the best option. About having many kids. The whole reason she kept trying was so that at least one could have white hair. Having more kids wasn't going to change the whispers because the black hair and white skin is just WAAY to obvious. The moment Jaecerys was born, Rhaenyra was in trouble. She hoped to get the next one with white hair. Again, the gods didn't smile on her... same why the gods didn't smile on her when she tried to have kids with Laenor. You seem to not like Rhaenyra which is fine. Or you don't like her rabid fanbase which I admit is annoying. But the fact that you are willing to blame her MORE than you wanna blame Viserys shows an incredible reach. Everybody has parts to blame. The difference is Rhaenyra doesn't act righteous or like she has done nothing wrong. She's trying her best with the cards she was dealt. Viserys also doesn't act all righteous, which is why he does not question the legitimacy of her kids. He knows he is mostly to blame for that. Daemon has a part to be blamed too for leading a kid to a brothel. Rhaenyra has her own part for lying to Alicent (I would lie my ass out too ngl.) Daemon also doesn't act like he is perfect. The only one acting righteous is Alicent. This is my issue with her... and what makes her a fascinating character from a writing perspective (I'm a professional writer, which is why even hateable characters intrigue me when they are written well.) She claims Rhaenyra gets away with whatever but Rhaenyra and Laenor swallowed it when she pardoned Cole for beating Laenor's paramore to death. Rhaenyra and Viserys again swallowed her directly attacking the heir to the throne, Rhaenyra with a knife, slicing her wrist (this could be easily seen as an act of treason.) C'mon..you gotta admit that you're being too harsh in Rhaenyra. Whether you agree or not tho', I'm sure we can find common ground in the fact that all this makes for fascinating TV entertainment.

Also imo The Greens are just in the wrong no matter who sides i'm on because Rhaenyra is the heir despite her gender and they’re basically taking her right from the beginning when Alicent got into the king's room and if she ended up killing them it’s because they forced her to do so... i just don’t like how people acting as if Rhaenyra is pure evil when all of this started because Alicent married the king, yes she was forced but she could’ve at least told Rhaenyra about her father's plan before breaking her heart.

It's not all about hatred and jealousy for Rhaenyra. If you look at things very carefully, the turning point for Alicent was learning that the King gave Rhaenyra a Plan B Tea. That means Alicent knew that the King totally knew that Otto was not wrong, but he still fired him. Alicent all the while also vouched for Rhaenyra but she and her father got burnt. From that moment, she learned that Otto has been right all along. For the King and Rhaenyra, Alicent's side of the family are only seconds, and that was even more proven this episode when the King sided with Rhaenyra and her children. She really believes now what Otto said that her children could be put to the sword if Rhaenyra pushes for her ascension to the Iron Throne, especially since Rhaenyra's claim now is a lot more rough since she has mothered bastards and the realm know it.

Aemond had every right to try and claim the dragon (Vhagar) at that point, dragons only bond with one rider at a time so Vhagar was free after Laena died. Dragons aren't passed down through inheritance, anyone can try and claim a free dragon and it will then decide if it wants the rider or not. If she didn't like Aemond he would have died there and then or Laenas daughter could have died doing the same so he didn't really steal anything.

[@teekay2127]

Rhaenyra is very aware that her claim to the throne is fragile & even more since the birth of Aegon and the only way to strengthen her claim is to have heirs that's why she took the gamble with ser Harwin when things failed with Laenor, it's dangerous but she knew she had to. Queen Aemma died trying to give the king an heir, we heard her speak about the importance of heirs, she literally had 5 unsucessful pregnancies, so there's serious pressure & Rhaenyra is expected to do the same. Also, she gave Laenor what he wanted. He has hardly been present ( I mean her kids seemed to have a stronger bond with Harwin Strong than Laenor😂) and Rhaenyra knows it's because he does not want this life, she even says he belongs on the Sea. He might have pledged to be present but you can tell they've had this conversation before and he hasn't followed through and she knows he won't support her the way she needs, the way Daemon will.

Daemon did t laugh because to be disrespectful to his late wife. He laughed because Vaemond passive aggressively pointed out that rhaenyras children were illegitimate.

Lost his wife and after all these years after war and this stuff now you want me to come home? After the death of my wife only now you want me back. We see that everyone isn’t blind that those are not laenors children. Allicent in a way is somewhat guilty for strings death. Rhaenyra bout to give in to daemon again. Aegon got fucked up and it’s his own fault should have watched his mouth. Otto is proud bringing out that side of his daughter. Aemond is such a bitch bro he stole his cousins dragon. The day of the funeral too the body not even cold yet. He got some nerve. I don’t like that the king didn’t ask the girls what happened either. The only good person left is Laenor honestly. He is atleast trying after losing his sister he reDedicating hisself to his wife. And just then right after his sister dies so does he.

I’m surprised so many people think Alicent is innocent and she didn’t do anything wrong. If Alicent really had honor and morales she wouldn’t have agreed to take advantage of the King the night his wife died. You can say her father told her to do it, but in the end she chose her own family over her so called morales. She was manipulating the king for 6 months and broke the trust of her best friend by messing with him behind her back, and then getting married to him. Alicent knew Ser Criston broke his oath and her duty was to report it to the king and Ser Criston should have been executed. But Alicent decided to keep it a secret for HER OWN GAIN. Where is the honor and duty in that? She talks about being honest, having honor , morales, and doing what’s right. Yet she catches Aegon beating his meat naked out the window for the whole city to see and she doesn’t even act surprised. She didn’t scold him about it, she was only focused on a joke the kids played on aemond. She has been having secret meetings with Lord Larys and indirectly got the hand of the king and his son killed. If she had honor and duty she would have reported him to the king, but the second she decided to keep it a secret and use it to get her father back to kings landing she became a accessory to those crimes. Where is the honor and duty in that? Then demanding to cut out the eye of prince who is in line for the throne, where is the honor in that? She is the only who seems to be ok with purposely hurting family members. She STILL disobeyed the King and tried to attack them. Rheynerah said it best. Alicent always hid behind being about laws, morals, duty, and doing what’s right. Yet now everyone see’s her for who she really is. Just another person who has dirt on them, and is no better than anyone else. So yea Alicent definitely has done a lot of wrong.

Secondly, Larys gave ZERO indication that he would kill his own father and brother.

It's funny how their lives weren't in danger until Alicent believed her children's lives were in danger. Makes you wonder if Otto didn't plant that seed in her head if they would be one happy family right now.

​@@robertwalker1001 he was definitely the catalyst! Rhaneyra even tried to marry their kids together and Alicent refused. She could've just let the feud drop then and have both Households (Targaryen and Hightower) rule

Like usual, great reaction y'all. 🖤 That's pretty much all I have to add, it's 2am so my mind's not in the thinking mood. BTW: Count me among the numbers of people who listen to your discussions after the episodes, they're great. Y'all are great.

Thank you 🙏🏽

Dragons aren’t passed down like an inheritance, when their former rider dies they’re basically free game for any one of Targaryen or valerian blood to claim. Rhaena has no more right than Aemond does, just because her mother rode her. Aemonds grandfather also was vhagars rider at one point

Alicent's daughter CAN be trusted, spouting prophecy like that.

Rhaenyra and Daemon were part of Laenor's secret escape. Daemon killed a servant as the replacement corpse. Also, that's why Daemon said they needed a witness for the supposed death.

Rhaenyra is an example of someone who does irrational and radical choices but deals with them in a calm and logical manner. It allows her to get mostly scot-free and makes us the audience look at her more favorably. Alicent, on the other hand, is technically doing everything right of a traditional noble lady, but her pent up emotions causes her to deal with them irrationally. It makes her look crazier than she actually is and make us much less sympathetic towards her, even if she does have a point. This fight was probably the clearest example of this. Rhaenyra knows the position she has placed her and her sons in, and yet the confidence and sternness of her tone allows her to appear morally superior. Even though her sons are bastards and one of them mutilated their relative, she managed to control the conversation. Alicent, on the other hand, was rightfully furious that her son's eyes was just sliced off, but she's even more frustrated that justice isn't being served despite doing everything right. She's furious that Viserys isn't doing more to fix this. Alicent can't take control of situation like Rhaenyra can, and thus appears more crazy than she actually is. She finally snaps and the two women finally clash in a fight of ideologies, and it couldn't have been filmed and written better.

Rhae kids little rule over the iron throne in the end anyways

Alicent has had to follow laws and Rhaenyra doesn't simply cause of who they are, she is a princess while alicent isn't, alicent is blaming viserys for taking his daughter side when she would do same for her children, cause now they are the royals. Alicent is not royal so obviously she won't be as free as Rhaenyra. She hates just because they are born in different stations, Rhaenyra is born so much higher than her.
