I can definitely see why Emma D’Arcy got the role of Rhaenyra. Not even just for their acting capabilities, but in the way that their presence almost demands attention and respect. Can’t wait to see them as Rhaenyra!

[@lb8739]

Right!!

[@ousmanjallow7866]

[@marissamiller1933]

I will really miss Milly though. She's been the best part of the show so far.

Yes she's going to do a great job she radiates a kind of ruthless authority.

[@user-pu8mm7mw3k]

I like the way you think

[@kimberlyestacio7307]

That would be great. I thought it was interesting that the scene started with R's head being cradled on Alicent's lap and Alicent always getting her back on task. In one swoop R lost her mother and her nurturing friend. So all she felt after was suffered in silence.

I'm gonna go ahead and just say it is unlikely. Maybe if episode 6 is before things get crazy its possible.

I cannot unsee that Emma talks with the right side of their mouth and Olivia talks with the left. Velvety ✨

[@laceystockman7732]

I'm with everyone else, Emma def has Targaryen vibes on looks alone. I'm 100% new to this story so I'm just learning of the Hightowers, but Olivia is also so stunning and gives Reach vibes. Can't wait to see them on screen.

[@sophienetter940]

@@aishariel9924 Then you either don't actually understand grammar and pronoun use or you're ignorant. They/Them has been a singular pronoun forever, for example, if you don't know the gender of someone you're about to meet you would say " when are THEY coming" " How old are THEY" etc. It's not hard to understand.

[@aishariel9924]

@@sophienetter940 let me guess you’re one of them? Sorry, I’ve been watching too much comedy today. Had to. Lol in all seriousness the first sentence is one example that would make sense in regular conversation. Without trying to attack one another, before the 🏳️‍🌈 community started using they/them society NEVER used those references during normal conversation. It just sounds like they can’t speak proper English. Using plural pronouns when you’re referring to one person is when it’s used incorrectly. If you want we can force the rest of the world to start speaking like from the Shakespearean era. That way we can sound cool while being 🏳️‍🌈 friendly. It’s sad that if someone disagrees from the collective they’re labeled as bigots and/or ignorant. No one likes being labeled wrong, am I right?
