Right but her motivations are clouding her actions

I think if she showed some real competency first and then it started to crumble id be like damn. Thats usually how good characters are written. Showing why you should root for them and then that one detail gives them that heartbreaking ending. Her just being clueless from the jump and even borrowing that awful line from the actual Elizabeth 1 in history was garbage writing to me. I get she's desperate. Smart people prove themselves with savvy strategies. She's proven that she shouldn't be the ruler either. And her not doing anything but sitting her ass in dragonstone to the point she's locked in her own room. I get she wants to join the battle, but thats not a good move either because she will surely be killed. Definition of a weak ass ruler.

Atp im all in on knights of the seven kingdoms. This is just to keep my interest afloat in the universe. But that was touted as a fantastic episode and I was like

From what im told she's not even relevant atp in the books. That mightve been her most talked about scene all season

this would have gone harder last season

Roddy the Ruin :datass:

It’s solely WB’s fault

They unexpectedly cut the show’s budget before filming was finished

gotta wait for my girl to get back to watch this she not coming back until sunday

Yall can watch episode 1 and 2 back to back

Good season opener. Lowkey felt like it could’ve been the concluding episode for season 2 to salvage that train wreck but hey…

Alyn is my GOAT

Bit of a double edged sword in that:

1. There isn’t enough source material (particularly for HOTD) — the actual premise of the Dance of Dragons is interesting but it’s nowhere near as engaging as the actual GOT original novels. A lot of motivations of characters are contrived at times, some characters are barely more than footnotes in the source material etc etc. it’s hard to take that and create something engaging enough to stretch four seasons … but then

2. Equally, it’s their own fault for dragging out what is effectively 200-300 pages of plot into four separate seasons!

Can’t have your cake and eat it too, I guess.

It was the season 2 conclusion

Considered not revisiting the first two seasons and gf was like

And she was right cause I had definitely forgotten all the intricacies and names

Girl with the underbite dragon is stiff as a damn board.

don’t think I’m invested enough to do it,
but whole episode was a series of ‘who’s this guy again’s

dragons lookin good though

Great first ep
But, IMO, it just highlighted how unnecessary the changes made to the original plot actually were

They were really going for the Allicent x Rhaenyra angle but didnt fully commit. Like just bang already damn

I dont mind Nettles being merged with Rhaena

Man I just don't have a single good thing to say about this show at all smh

Jace was right btw. Rhaenyra would have 100% been killed. Especially if Baella didn't join.

Doesn’t help that it seems like the first chunk with all the progenitor Targaryens got reserved for its own movie…

Idk how they could’ve stuffed the Aegon stuff with the Targs were working with here though. But that would’ve been an immensely more entertaining series

Westeros central lmfao

Taking the game of zones schtick to the limit
