The behind the scenes for this is great. Besides Paddy Constantine being hilarious, they actually set those guys on fire with some protective equipment. Also I think Larys advising Aegon over being disabled might be the most honest thing he’s done so far. It’s all in the name of manipulation, but there’s a genuine empathy to it I don’t think he’s faking.

[@thewerewolff7248]

When you realize the whole reason Dragonkeepers wear a sharp knife.....

[@IndomitableAde]

Why do they carry those sticks though? Useless!

[@thewardenduncan]

@@IndomitableAde It's Pavlovian: the sticks are not useless when the dragon is young, they hurt quite a bit. So the dragon learns to fear them and subconsciously understands that if it does something wrong when the sticks are around, it hurts. Of course, like with any animal, that's mostly going to be effective against a dragon that is regularly interacting with the dragonkeepers. And as we see here... Seasmoke's been away from them for a while now, lol.

[@IndomitableAde]

@@thewardenduncan that makes some sense, although when training a creature like a like a fire-breathing dragon that grows until it dies, I'd go with the equivalent of a carrot rather than a stick.

alicent’s face when gwayne says daeron is kind … heartbreaking honestly made me tear up a lil

[@JonathanMartinez-ei4up]

The moment A Dragon literally hunts you down, and burns the landscape…Just to be friends. Sea Smoke brinks a whole new meaning to the Ride or Die mantra.

[@liamross340]

there are three readings of why alicent tried to stop the guards from attacking the smallfolk: out of genuine kindness we know she does possess because of how she was in her youth but she’s lost more as she’s grown, she didn’t want the violence to escalate any more and was worried it would lead to her daughter being hurt, or, she’s suicidal and honestly doesn’t care if she lives or dies. probably all three tbh

[@scotthewitt258]

It did escalate pretty bad. The Mistress of Whispers told Rhaenyra it reached the gates of the Red Keep. I don't particularly root for Alicent. But, she does still care about people. Now, Shitstain can feed the next dragon he meets. I hate that asshole.

Such a great “set the table” episode getting us ready for the final two episodes

[@scotthewitt258]

I said last week, Rhaenyra needs to sneak in some food. Yeah, her blockade is contributing to the famine, but the Greens feasting every other day and driving carts of dragon feed right through Flea Bottom is definitely going to irritate the Smallfolk. As Ulf said, his brother would not be feasting while people are starving. The Greens keep refusing to read the room. Rhaenyra, through her Mistress of Whispers, IS reading the room.

[@islasullivan3463]

Contributing factor? Her blockade is the main reason the small small folk don’t have food. Also while the greens are certainly still eating better than the small folk they are we have not seen them feasting like the madam claimed.

[@Belladonna313]

@@islasullivan3463the greens have also blocked anyone from leaving the city which is basically sentencing the small folk to starve to death.

@ Belladonna yes but that doesn’t really change that the main reason why they are starving is because of the blockade

@@islasullivan3463 Which would be "contributing". The fact that you felt it was necessary to add a word to what I actually said to try and make it sound like I was downplaying it is interesting.

Let's not forget that in the finale of GoT, some Lords were comparing the Smallfolk to horses and dogs.....

[@liamross340]

this episode is soooo good!!! insight into how alicent feels about her children and even her telling the guards to sheathe their swords was an act of kindness we haven’t really seen from her since she was a teenager. plus she has matching scars now with rhaenyra which is very interesting considering a canonically queer rhaenyra really recontextualises their very intimate relationship as girls. you guys picked up on the ‘sapphic vibes’ as you said in the very first episode and the creators have also commented that it was sort of semi romantic. i think the queer reading has always been there but them leaning into it is fascinating. people were shocked by the kiss but tbh rhaenyra always read queer to me. she’s always had a complex relationship with sexuality and especially gender. even in this episode she says she wishes she were a man. now i’m not saying that makes her trans i understand it’s because of the respect but she has always been a marriage of masculine and feminine as a character and emma d’arcy themself is non binary so it’s just very interesting. the themes of identity in this show are the best part imo, gender is such a huge part of the show. Mysaria trusting rhaenyra would be a good queen and opening up to her about something she’s never said before was really touching. some people are saying the kiss was out of place but i think it makes sense that these women who have had virtually no confidants or friends even since they were children would find comfort in one another.
