Fun fact about Alicent's green dress: its design was based off of the painting "St. George Slaying the Dragon" by Jost Haller. It's not just significant because the color matches the war beacon of Hightower, but also because of the art history source the design was inspired by.

I loved how natural and fraternal Harwyn and Larys' relationship looks. Their short two lines in the scene when Alicent enters the hall is like the perfect amount of exposition to have in that scene. Feels organic, brief, and then out of the way so the camera can focus on the visually striking image of Alicent striding in.

Spoilers: This is not going to age well

[@Aphurea]

I love that you mentioned that Crispy Cole is a commoner in reference to his talk with Joffrey Lonmouth. I didn't really see others discussing it, but I think it provides important insight into why Crispy might have reacted the way he did. Joffrey was raised for courtly politics, where sly manoeuvring and building alliances through subtle speech is the game. Cole, however, wasn't. He is a commoner, and he is not party to the games of the nobility. It shouldn't surprise us that he interpreted the way Joff approached him as either A) a threat, or B) taunting him. Unfortunately for Joff, he didn't realise how unstable Cole was, and he paid the price for someone else's mistakes.

[@zenorus3526]

And Cole, being a man who has been in actual battle, goes to his tried and true solution: Killing.

[@abraham2172]

I hate Cole and was pretty mad when he got off so easily, but its nice to at least have an explanation why he suddenly started murdering someone.

Viserys is taking a nap because he's so healthy. I was a nurse for 10 years and I specialized in wound care and at this point in the story, if i were his maester, I'd have to wonder if what we were doing is helping Viserys. He's not just a patient: He's a VIP, King of Seven Kingdoms, the Rider of Balerion, Father of the Year (legit) Master of the 2am Booty Call (id hit it) and The Only Good Man in Westeros. But seriously. I would have liked to see them discuss trying different things and none of them working. I see a wound, I then do what I always do depending on size, depth, signs of infection and amount of drainage because it works most of the time. Not always but It's pretty straightforward since making a wound WORSE is actually pretty hard to do. I'd give it a fortnight then reevaluate If there is no change, something else has to be done. I know its the middle ages here but we had surgeons back then who debated on healing the sick and would use everything they could. Especially when healing regular royalty, let alone divine dragon riding royalty who can just feed you to their daughters dragon, But NO! BRING MY BOILED WINE AND LEECHES!! For how long should you try boiled wine and LEECHES? At LEAST 20 years!!! I know it's nursing nitpicking, but we've known about the benifit of cleaning out a wound, closing it in time if possible (as demonstrated by this show: shit stitching by the way! Thats not a dress, it's SKIN) But NOPE. Giant open wound on your back? No worries man. Giant wounds aren't supposed to ever get better. Not ever and if they get worse we just keep doing what we were doing. What's the worst that could happen? Wow went on a rant. Now I know how Shad feels when someone breaks out a pair of nunchucks. I also feel I have a right to bitch since THEIR KING IS DYING. They don't know about leprosy, granted, but I feel like they would contact the Citadel or SOMETHING to discuss the fact that Viserys isn't getting better. He's not even stalling with his healing, Viserys is getting worse and worse. Pss: they kind of mention it but it's like an afterthought. Psss: Matt Smith is just having so much fun in this episode that he reminds me of Robert Englund playing Freddy Kruger. You can tell he's having as much fun as a tornado in a trailer park.
