[@SeanTanktop]

Just one thing to clear up since there is some confusion. There was no slur uttered in the bar. He said “f*ckface” and the other guy “bag of d1cks”. If that was uttered and I was aware of it, I’d have tossed him out immediately. It was rectified and will continue to be for the remaineder of our time with this show and space. I would never let that ish slide, and let it be known that I never will. Love y’all and see ya next week. - S

“Attack, Meleys.” What a powerful scene

[@tensaiuchiha3073]

2 times even

[@sanketshelke8667]

Shows the bond between them. Aegon and Aemond both command their dragons with "Dracarys" which means dragonfire. They display their inexperience there, whereas Rhaenys just tells Meleys to "attack," because she trusts her to know HOW to attack, whether to blast her enemy with dragonfire or go in for a physical altercation. Rhaenys knows that her dragon will know how to handle the situation, whereas Aemond and Aegon don't and so they go with what they think should be done, not what their dragons think should be done. Case on point, if Vhagar had just crashed into Meleys physically, it would've saved Aegon a world of agony. But instead he commanded her to blast dragonfire, burning Aegon in the process. Although, I wonder if that was intentional 😅

[@Plagueis_The_Wise]

​@DukeJimbob One, you ARE assholes for liking Daemon. Two, Cole and Aemond were obviously not expecting Aegon to show up to the battle at all, much less show up drunk off his ass on dragon-back. Aemond wasn't holding back because "he didn't feel like it." He was holding back because he realized he had to rethink his strategy and improvise the unexpected occurrence in the war effort. How that is so difficult for a lot of you to grasp is beyond me. I swear, you team blackers have the dumbest arguments possible, as you're so desperate to make the Greens look bad, but it just never works 🤣.

The only two beings that Aegon truly loved and was loved in return by is Sunfyre and his son. People are so easy to forget how much trauma losing his son brought him when you also consider everyone uses him for their gain. He didn’t even want to be king

[@AshleyX-iy5qt]

TRUE! & the fact that he actually wants to give it a try (ruling) They're quick to remind him he's an idiot pawn. So ridiculous. His mother (Alicent) is a stupid character. I could respect her if she manipulated Aegon into thinking he's the second coming of Aegon the conqueror so she can secretly rule in the shadows. But instead she Shows him her cards & basically spells it out to him that he's a pawn. I also hated the line, You're not half the king your father was, despite spending the whole of season 1 Criticising him too. Horrible character Lmao.

[@MrBrock314]

Just because you love your child doesn't make a good king.

[@SonderDAzeX]

I think Aegon did love his son, but I do think he projected alot of his own desires on to Jaehaerys.

[@SonderDAzeX]

@@MrBrock314 Yeah, and he didnt even care for his daughter Jaehaera. Plus we forget he S'A servant girls and then Forced his dragon seeds to file down their teeth and fight each other in pits.

[@glrendon81]

I think he loved his son to a degree, but the scene when he first talks about his son dying and immediately says something like “it could have been me” tells me it was more pride and legacy than a love for a child. But then again we do see him crying so I’m sure it’s more than that. He doesn’t seem to have fatherly love for his daughter or “bastards”.

Honestly it shows the quality of the writing in this show that they can make people feel sympathy for a character (Aegon) in the early part of season 2 when that same character gr*ped a girl in late season 1 and everybody hated him for it. The writing is just phenomenal.

[@Visionary-]

@@zenith2068Why do people actually hate Cole so much? He doesn’t even come close to Joffrey or Ramsey when it comes to being a “bad” person.

[@zenith2068]

@@Visionary- people seething that he can get away with boning Alicent when Rhaenyra can’t with Ser Harwin Strong without consequences I guess. Not to mention his part in the “usurpation” Also him having nothing to do until this episode and that being almost all of his scenes this season.

[@mgatwood42]

@@Visionary- To quote a comment I saw once: "The violence is fake. My annoyance is real." Two of the most hated traits any fictional character can have are hypocrisy and pettiness, and Cole has those in spades. His entire problem with Rhaenyra boils down to "The heir to the throne wouldn't abandon her kingdom to become a fisherman's housewife for me after I did her the great honour of sleeping with her, so now I'm going to devote my entire life to being a bitter ex and beating up her young children in my care." Also him accusing Arryk of sullying his white cloak with mud at the little prince's funeral and telling him he needed to essentially sacrifice himself to make up for it. Regardless of whether he's justified in his anger at Rhaenyra or not, people hate a bitter whiny hypocrite who takes out his anger on those who can't fight back. People like Joffrey and Ramsey have refuge in audacity - most people will never experience anyone so utterly evil or vile in real life, at least not personally, so their over-the-top evil deeds can be viewed as purely fictional entertainment and don't evoke negative personal experiences. The vast majority of people watching Joffrey won't be thinking, "Ah, that brings back such bad memories of when the king chopped *my* father's head off and put it on a spike!" In contrast, basically everyone has had to deal with a Cole at some point, so every time he's on screen it reminds viewers of negative people in their real life who they hate being around, and it only rubs salt in the wound when Cole keeps getting rewarded instead of punished for his behaviour. At least Joffrey got slapped down (sometimes literally) on occasion and took a cow pie to the face. To top it all off, most people loved Cole when he was first introduced and were rooting for him right up to his face-heel turn, so there's an element of betrayal that was never present with Joffrey or Ramsey, who both made their depravity clear early on. Personally I enjoy Cole, pettiness and all. XD I'm glad this episode showed that he really is highly capable on the battlefield and an inspiring leader. I do wonder if opinions of him will shift after this battle, as by the end of it we're pretty clearly supposed to empathize with Cole and his horror at the devastation he's helped unleash.

This show has done a great job of humanizing the dragons to the point that I cried when Rhaenys and Meleys went down. They both died a warrior's death. I wish Aemond had put his sword through Aegon in the end to ensure he was dead. Aemond is a villain but I prefer him to the rapey Aegon.

[@rechuptv6575]

The images and falls of Aegon II and sunfyre were so impressive and sad that they were comparable to those of rhanenys and meleys in their fiercest final duel and a fearful death... 🥲

[@MrBrock314]

Rhaenys wasn't afraid to die, she was resigned. That face was acceptance, not fear.

[@angelvisuals]

Regardless of the outcome, Meleys took on two dragons and left one crippled, and she gave Vhager, the oldest dragon, a good beating before she died (meleys also knock down vhagar). People who say she was stupid to stay don't realize that she was trying to protect the people at Rook's Rest. Notice how she wasn't attacking the soldiers' but just simply destroying their equipment; all her attacks were strategized. Notice how she didn't say "Dracarys" but "Attack, Meleys." Yet she fought for her queen till death because she knew the feeling Rheanrya was feeling because she too had been denied of what was rightfully hers. Also, knowing that she could've prevented Lucery’s death that day of the coronation was even more motivation to fight to the death and protect the people from the rook's rest. Let’s also talk about how Team Black doesn’t use their dragons as war equipment and truly has a bond with them. Rhaenys, the queen who never was a true queen and icon, a legend!

[@insert-name101]

The best analysis of her strategy. She was playing defensively. But she was outnumbered. Leaving behind no choice to return back for a second time to protect the people & secure the castle. Only to get snatched out of the air by vhagar. I think, she & her dragon had a certain understanding. And probably even knew before it that they might not make it out of there alive. She took the chances. But was taken by a massive surprise. One of the best battle sequences in the GOT universe. Or at least, the most unique one I have seen. Only to be bested by the blackwater bay explosion

Spoilers below: Sunfyre is not dead and going to make a comeback in S03 along with the rightful heir to the iron throne. Just wait for the sweet pain and agony blacks will go through

[@khaalmalki4039]

What do you mean regardless of the outcome? this was a dumb move to send a dragon for a useless castle. Rhaenyra wanted to be even more stupid like Aegon and go herself. The blacks lost their biggest and most experienced dragon just to injure Sunfyre and Aegon ( I don't believe either of them are dead) and they lost the castle. You guys need to stop coping.

[@gregwillett2710]

Rhaenys was sent by Queen Rhaenyra to protect the people of Rooks Rest in this Battle. Just because Vhagar shows up to fight it doesn't mean the Battle is over. If Rhaenys had fled back to Dragonstone, running away from the Battle and Abandoning the people of Rooks Rest, Rhaenyra's claim would be viewed as weak. Like Queen Rhaenyra runs away when things get tough. That's the simple answer for Rhaenys's suicide mission. Put even simpler, there were still people to protect. By the Queen 👑 Who *ALWAYS* Was 💔 ❤️

[@harrypotter416267]

Neither side is as saint. I am afraid neither of the sides cares for the commoners if their interests are not aligned by "helping" them. It was just a weak attempt by Blacks to show their power. Had they had "such love for commoners" they would have sent someone to stop Cole way before he started taking over castle after castle until he arrived at this one.

[@gregwillett2710]

@harrypotter416267 what!!?? 🤣🤣 The Black's are the only side that specifically pursued Diplomacy-First approach because they DIDNT want War to befall the commoners. Rhaenyra was the only one in this equation who DIDNT WANT WAR. The inherent Fascism & Misogyny that drives & motivates the Green IS THIER OWN and nobody else's. The Greens are the EXCLUSIVE REASON there is even War in the first place!!! series are you watchin!!?

[@gregwillett2710]

@harrypotter416267 Absolutely not. The Greens were "little bitch boy" upset that "a girl with coodies" would sit the Throne. The Greens are motivated by Fascist Authoritarian Patriarchy. The Greens are the ONLY side that wanted War. They are the single EXCLUSIVE reason there is even War in the first place. Rhaenyra literally offered to share the Throne with the Greens MULTIPLE TIMES! She is also the only side that pursued a Diplomacy-First approach. The Blacks are the only ones WHO SPECIFICALLY TRIED TO PREVENT WAR because Rhaenyra was concerned about War befalling her commoners.

Yeah it is kinda show’s fault that it made people see him just as the guy who has sex with Alicent but he was always competent and now for sure we will see that fully, at least at the moment he and Aemond have a strategy to win the war while Blacks’ plan by Daemon is rather… not so good
