Alicent and rhaenyra scene had me stressing for 8 or 9 minutes? I wish we could see alicent journey in season 3 while she is “wandering in the wilderness”

Alicent betraying her family for Rhaenyra? The woman that wanted Aemond tortured right after he lost an eye, starved a city, and husband decapitated her grandson? The writing is horrible, why adapt the story if you're gonna change so much? In the book both Aemond and Alicent remained loyal to Aegon.

Alicent Hightower is some how they most niave character on the show.

[@DarthKay093]

It is funny when people act like Alicent is on the same level as Rhaenyra when she really isn't. Rhaenyra always had a destiny to be something bigger as a born princess while Alicent only came into power via Viserys when she could easily been married to a nobody lord since Otto is a second son

[@adrimiq]

It's not about who is the rightful heir. Of course that Rhaenyra is the true queen and she should be the queen. The point here is that in terms of human complexity, Alicent is not simply "evil" and in that sense, she IS equal to Rhaenyra, even though she's been wrong about many things and made terrible mistakes. Laura is so right about this and it's so important.

@@adrimiqRhaenyra would never sell out her sons like Alicent just did. She is so pathetic and a bad written character. Rhaenyra was right to look at her like the idiot she is.

@@adrimiq I couldn't have said it better. I'm not judging them as equals as "who should have the throne", I'm judging them as equals as two human beings who have qualities and defaults, reasons to fight for their kids and dream of something better/bigger. But Alicent just admitted here she doesn't want that anymore : she's okay to sacrifice her sons and a big future for them, so she can escape and live at peace with her daughter.

[@Mutazili]

They are not equal, Alicent was queen and ruled the kingdoms for many years when Viserys was sick, Rhaenyra ruled for one year and failed. Rhaenyra's claim also depends on Viserys...
