@Inkspeckle2 ай бұрын
while it may not have affected what the greens were going to do anyway, it DOES affect Alicent's characterization. Her main personal conflict in season 1 was about her chosing to do the proper thing vs pursuing what she wanted. she did what was expected of her - followed her father's schemes, did her duty in the old, sick king's bed, bore children and never let impulse or feelings inform her choices. the main moment in S1 where this breaks is when she attacks Rhaenyra with a dagger after Aemond loses his eye. this is the first time she gives in to her wroth, her wish for revenge, her desire to punish Rhaenyra for doing what she never could. It's the first time Alicent breaks "from the script" so to speak, of how a lady, a queen should behave in this situation. When Viserys died, this should have been the pivotal moment for her to choose who she would become. Respect Viserys' wish, do what is expected and let Rhaenyra be crowned - or help facilitate what she wishes to happen, namely that her son should be king instead, because she doesn't trust Rhaenyra anymore and fears for her childrens' safety under her rule. Choosing Aegon would have been such a jump in character development for her, a moment for her to enact a plot out of her own agency, rather than go with what others have already decided. The misunderstanding thing completely destroys that. It turns her from a political player pursuing her own goals into someone who just accidentally stumbled into a coup that was already happening and now has to shrug and go "well I guess thats what my husband wanted in the end anyway I guess". It feels like a copout from the writers who didn't want to make her choose sides definitively just yet.

I have to say that the scene I appreciate the most was the opening between the Blackwoods and Brackens because, finally, for the first time in ASOIAF, the Blackwoods are presented as the arrogant dicks and the Brackens are shown in a somewhat sympathetic light. The main series keeps trying to pretend this is a commentary on the pointlessness of ancient blood feuds, but it’s not. The Blackwoods are a bunch of honourable badasses and the Brackens are a bunch of stuck up jerks, it’s actually a very one sided conflict morally speaking that only ever leaves you rooting for one side and one side only, which kind of misses the point if it’s lamenting the cycle of violence. So I cannot thank the show enough for finally introducing some ambiguity into this situation, even leaving the possibility open that the Blackwoods started a fight over stones the Brackens never moved, because this REALLY needed it and it truly cements the horror of the next scene showing a mountain of corpses leaving you shocked by the needless violence and not just upset that some Brackens survived and too many Blackwoods died, like it is in the books.

Also, it shows how competent Robb Stark really was for managing to get these two belligerent houses under one banner. I don’t like how GoT was so into Lannister-Frey-Bolton propaganda too much that they had Lord Glover literally told Jon and Sansa that “Robb was a fool who couldn’t keep it in his pants and got himself and my men killed” while at the same time submitting to the Boltons like a spineless coward. Like, I get it. You have grievances with Robb in some of his not so bright decision but why did you blame Robb for “getting your men killed” while the ones who killed your men in the first place were the Boltons that you were bowing to? So I’m glad HoTD salvaged Robb’s reputation in some extent, even though I’m 100% sure it’s a complete accident.

I think the scene in the Sept was basically the writers realizing, "Shit we're probably not gonna have a face to face interaction between Rhaenyra and Alicent after the war starts so we have to do it now somehow" and it's hard to maintain the intimate television drama between two of the series' most important main characters if they never speak to each other. It's one of the few times where I felt like they compromised a bit too much in translating the book to the screen. There's the threat of violence that they we know can't execute because it'd end the show, like Rhaenys' bad dragon exit. It was just a bit much to have Daemon and Rhaenyra do the cloak and dagger thing (literally) even if the latter wasn't approaching the Red Keep especially when the latter is their Queen and everyone else in her council is trying to get her the fuck out of there. They already blame her for not showing up enough due to childbirth and grief, why leave them to plot while she's not there? Unless Mysaria does some cleanup Larys-style but I don't think she has enough friends there. I actually expected the show to never reveal to either of them what the misunderstanding was or to do it way, waaaaay down the line after a decade of bad blood where Alicent realizes the already flimsy justification for Aegon's legitimacy that she's been clinging to was not true on any level. Or she learns about the ASOIAF from some crusty old Maester or Ulf or Larys, just a third party who destroys her worldview at the worst possible moment for her.

It’s better to have the reveal right as things begin to escalate because now she’ll watch the whole war take place knowing she screwed up.

@@samberger8595 the funniest and sadest part is that the writers genuinely consider that a heroic girlboss moment rather than a pointless horrific massacre that ends up hurting the integrity of Rhaenys' character. All that for a moment of shock value in the end of an episode.

to me, I feel like the rhaenyra and Alicent stuff and the “oops wrong aegon!” thing was more about servicing their characters rather than about the larger conflict. Like no matter what Viserys said the green council was going to try and install aegon. It’s too late to stop the war despite rhaenyra’s goofy scheme. The machinations of the men around them have made war inevitable but because they made Nyra and alicent childhood friends, I feel like they had to have some closure between the two of them before it all goes seriously sideways. I didn’t really have a problem with it for that reason. Edit: changed the word “reconcile” to “service” because it made more sense

@@MistyWardenI mean like reconciling the concept with the audience.

Maybe reconcile was the wrong word hm.

I think that Seasmoke is maybe experiencing the magical connection between him and Laenor severing. Almost like he's going through withdrawal symptoms. I think this doesnt have to mean that Laenor is dead, just that he's been gone long enough, with enough clarity of intention that he will never ride Seasmoke again. It easily solves the idea of the dragon/rider connection limiting the amount of living riders I think! The reason I say that is because i struggle to think why they would spend specific time making sure we know Laenor lives in s1 only for him to die offscreen.

Like every mantle passed on from generation to generation, from father to son, from king to king, every burden must be taken away and bequeathed unto another.

One thing I noticed is that the burning mill did not stop turning. I expected, in that long shot, the mill to stop, or to fall apart, or do something, but it just kept turning. Just as Symon Strong says "Sin begets sin begets sin" or how Rhaenys explores the question of what truly began the war, or how the Blackwoods and Brackens have been fighting for centuries and are eager for the next fight, the wheel keeps turning, even when aflame, because at this point, conflict is inevitable. At the end of the episode, the circle of candles were framed like a burning mill, turning around and around. Despite Rhaenyra's best efforts, even as Alicent realizes she misunderstood the prophecy, it matters not, nothing can be done, the wheels are already turning and the fire is already lit. War is inevitable. I just love episodes that are so thematically consistent, incorporating the first scene, last scene, and the title into the core point of the episode. What a fucking brilliant show.

"For the sake of the love we bore for each other once, I will allow you to leave this place in peace. If you ever show your face in King's Landing again, it will not end well for you." If the last scene had ended with Alicent pausing and saying this before walking away, I think it would've been a nice touch and made the fact that Rhaenyra can just leave without consequence more believable.
