I find everything and everyone on Alicent’s side more captivating and interesting they feel more like classic GOT to me. In the grey area instead of just black and white or good vs evil. Rhaenyra’s side on the other hand just doesn’t seem that interesting to me, they feel like the only reason you have to route for them is because they are the quote on quote good guys in this story. The show always seems to go out of its way to justify and have Rhaenyra’s side be in the right to me.

2025-02-21 23:51:20 +0000 UTCI agree that Alicent made a huge leap there but didn’t he tell her about the dream he had of a son born wearing the conquerers crown? I thought he did but I may be misremembering. Either way she’s been surrounded by people telling her that Aegon should be king for so long, with Viserys being the only real holdout, that she’d take any chance of those 2 sides agreeing and taking the future decision/responsibility out of her hands. You clearly hate Alicent, which is fair, but I don’t think she’s evil and seemed genuine in saying Rhaenyra would be a good queen and wanting her to return to court.

2025-02-19 16:21:29 +0000 UTCI can go both ways on the succession for Driftmark. Luke isn't blood but he was chosen by Laenor as a son and by Corlys, who is the lord and leader of house Velaryon, as a grandson. Both know he isn't blood, and they don't care. He has no experience, but he can learn a great deal and get help from Vaemond if he just honors the choice of his brother and lord. Add the marriage and there will still be Velaryon blood ruling Driftmark. As for the iron throne, technically the bloodline is still pure. The rightful heir is Rhaenyra Targaryen who is a trueborn child from the king and his chosen heir. So, when he dies it truly doesn't matter that he has other children. It will only matter after Rhaenyra dies. Her first 3 kids are named Velaryon but will have to change it to Targaryen when they ascend. So, they will have her blood and her name. Plus, she will have 3 full blood trueborn Targaryen kids with Daemon. Even if it's right or wrong the king willed it so anything anybody does to prevent it is treason and death. If Alicent really believes that Viserys said he wants Aegon to be king, she truly is an idiot. First off, the man is damn near dead. Second, he is constantly high on milk of the poppy and has a clouded mind. Anybody with common sense would know that the mumbling of that man would be 95% nonsense. Third, he said stuff like "do you remember" and "earlier" so if she didn't talk to him earlier the entire conversation is irrelevant and Alicent would know that. Forth, he has told the entire realm that Rhaenyra is heir, threatened to cut out tongues, etc. for 20 years. He never mentioned any of his other kids in connection to the throne. So, in my opinion any death and violence that comes after will be on Alicent and her team.

2025-02-19 01:22:04 +0000 UTCSo, to address the ending of the episode. Earlier in the episode, Rhaenyra is asking Viserys if he truly believes in Aegon's dream. If he does, then Rhaenyra feels obligated to ascend to the iron throne. At the end of the episode, Viserys thinks that he's speaking to Rhaenyra and confirming that she needs to unite the realm and that he believes Aegon. Since Alicent doesn't know any of this, she thinks that he is saying: That she (Alicent) must unite the realm. That Aegon (also Alicent's son's name) is to be king. Apologies, rough explanation, I'm sure someone else will be able to cover anything I don't.

2025-02-18 22:26:32 +0000 UTCI'd forgotten how strong the scenes of Daemon and Viserys were in this episode. Initially, Daemon and the king's bedside and barely even able to look at him. Then Daemon helping Viserys up to the Iron Throne.

2025-02-18 21:28:07 +0000 UTCI love Rhaenyra but Alicent is the more captivating character to watch, in my opinion, when it comes to the older cast. I do think she cares a lot for Viserys but probably not in a romantic sense. I definitely can see Aegon and Aemond being like versions of Viserys and Daemon but if they had no morals or love.
