House of the Dragon S2 EP5 "Regent" Reaction

[@arobin6695]

we're of course supposed to disagree with the sexist members of Rhaenyra and Alicent's counsels when they talk about women being the weaker sex and unfit to rule during war but that's exactly how the writers have been portraying Rhaenyra and Alicent this whole time. Neither character has done anything during this whole season because they're preaching temperance and restraint and peace even after the war has started. Based on how she's been written, Cole was right to side against Alicent, she's not prepared to do the terrible things that must be done to lead her side to victory, she'd just write letters to Rhaenyra, that's all she's done since the end of season 1.

they did Daemon so dirty this season :(

Why?

[@mackmitchell94]

This was always how Daemon was, he's going through therapy lol . Alice is bringing all of his darkness to the surface so he can make peace with it .

@@YounaPunbecause he went from being the most important ally Rhaenyra had in the books to an incompetent idiot. If there’s one thing Daemon could do in the book it was lead men and strategize a war.

@@albertocruz5032 listen i already know what will happen in the upcoming eps and he will raise an army and fight for rhaenyra be patient.

[@albertocruz5032]

I hope this wasn’t your first Sopranos watch. That would have been a fantastic series.

This episode really shows us why Daemon wouldn't be a good King he lacks diplomacy while Rhaenyra lacks his resolve hence why together their stronger i fully believe Daemon won't betray her and his character is gonna come full circle by the end of the season and fight for Rhaenyra.
