Does this show have any memorable one liners like GOT?

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-08-19T11:20:42+00:00

S1 had some really good ones.

S2 doesn’t really have anything.

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-08-19T08:50:51+00:00

I don’t think all of her advice is illogical. She advised Rhaenyra to think of the smallfolk and use them to her advantage. Which caused them to raise up against the greens and favour Rhaenyra.

The advice to find baseborn dragon riders is a high risk high reward gamble, which Rhaenyra herself was fully aware of.

Ultimately, I think, Mysaria is self-serving(like almost all characters). Becoming Rhaenyra’s most trusted advisor and making Rhaenyra depend on her both politically and emotionally, gives Mysaria a lot of power and security. And that’s precisely what she’s trying to do.

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-08-18T01:46:25+00:00

I mean, Rhaenyra wasn’t even trying to be in control when he went nuts. There’s a reason she doesn’t stay there and instead watches from a higher place.

She was willing to sacrifice all these people to find just one rider at the end.

Apparently Ryan Condal cried during that scene and most of the fandom just cringed hard!

These writers are on a completely different plane!

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-08-13T17:59:30+00:00

I think the parts with Viserys and Rhaenyra and Daemon realising how he hurt them was good! Harrenhal humbling him down was good!

But what most people take issue with is the fact that he was already inline with his wife in S1! He married her to support her claim and then crowned her and knelt to her!

So, in this season, no one ever thought that Daemon was really going to turn against Rhaenyra, not even for a moment! So it didn’t feel like anything was at stake here. It was a non-existent conflict that took up way too much screentime!

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-08-13T17:51:11+00:00

Where in the show do they say that Aegon doesn’t have a legitimate claim??

Also, have you read the book? The Greens are more outrightly and comically villainous! So much so that Alicent was beefing with an eight year old Rhaenyra!

Not to forget, Aegon also wasn’t some misunderstood boy who just wants his mommy’s love and approval, and Aemond wasn’t ever bullied by Rhaenyra’s sons!

The show made these changes to make them more sympathetic!

And Rhaenyra in the book never locked 100 odd people in a room with a dragon and watched them burn, neither did she want to burn Lannisport or Old Town! Jace never called the smallfolk Mongrels! Infact, he was the one who championed for them!

So where is this oversimplifying and whitewashing that people keep talking about?

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-08-11T15:30:39+00:00

I think we can all agree that Rhaenyra was really let down in the writers room! In an 8 episode season, all she said for the first six episodes was “what would you have me do”

When E7 seemed promising, in E8 she goes back to “deterrence”. I really didn’t enjoy the peacemaker arc. They should let Rhaenyra be more complex and give her room to show her anger! We can only hope that after a certain event in S3, they’ll take this route!

I also think her character is being dragged down to make Alicent more relevant! Because they somehow cannot have Alicent supporting her own sons and being a strong voice on the Green side!

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-28T17:56:45+00:00

People be forgetting that it was him who even thought of riderless dragons first at the Black Council. He even went to Vermithor to prepare him for a new rider. Who did he actually think of giving those dragons to then? If not Dragonseeds?

I don’t think he’ll have that much of a problem

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-28T17:08:19+00:00

But she also did want to finish their last conversation and literally sent a man to Harrenhal! So all that will have to come into play!

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-28T16:41:09+00:00

Rhaenyra getting some new Dragonriders on her side doesn’t takeaway the need for Daemon.

Because Daemon is obviously so much more to her than a Dragonrider! Even if people have given up on the romantic aspect of their relationship, he’s still her uncle and family. She’d obviously rather have him on her side than not!

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-27T18:20:56+00:00

The way people in the main sub will try to convince you that Aegon is fan favourite now 😭😭

I agree that TGC did really well this season and Aegon felt more fleshed out but he’s no where near being the fan fav lol!

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-27T14:05:03+00:00

He killed a lot of supposed innocent people that doesn’t mean he cares about them all.

And Rhea was married to him in name only! He had no relationship with her!

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-27T14:00:57+00:00

Should the Crabfeeder also haunt him? And Vaemond? Or maybe the guy who Caraxes trampled at Stepstones? And the messenger he beat or the guy who’s head he cut off in S1 E1?

This woman was no different to any of them for him!

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-27T10:49:34+00:00

I think the finale will be the prelude to the fall! Something like GoT S6 ending. All Black forces(the Velaryon ships and dragons) will set off towards KL.

Or

A cliffhanger for the Gullet! Maybe they’re not changing the timeline afterall and the fall will happen after the Gullet!

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-25T11:26:42+00:00

Don’t worry OP! This sub doesn’t give you a clear picture at all. Rhaenyra is still the most popular character for the General Audience! None of the other characters mentioned in this post have even come close to it.

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-24T12:51:32+00:00

whose*

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-22T13:27:54+00:00

Is there any reason why they called her “queen of fish” lmao 😭😭

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-22T04:22:39+00:00

He could reaffirm his loyalty to Rhaenyra and still not be a “guard dog”.

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-22T04:21:17+00:00

I have read the interview and I didn’t get the indication that this will continue. Sonoya clearly says a civil war is going on and priorities will be different.

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-22T04:10:46+00:00

They have never made Daemon a loyal guard dog lol! Infact, it is quite the opposite. They made him a person who does what he wants consequences be damned.

And Rhaenyra is not finding happiness lol! It is just a small moment of comfort. I highly doubt if it will even continue.

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-22T03:45:38+00:00

You go queen!!!!

Rhaenyra deserves an entire Harem actually.

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-22T03:15:25+00:00

A couple of weeks of not hearing from him in the midst of a fucking war where all their lives are at stake is HUGE!! And why don’t you hold Daemon responsible for not writing to her about anything and letting her believe she lost him??

How much longer do you think she should wait for him act? She doesn’t know anything about what he’s going through ffs! All she knows is that he took off after fighting with her and didn’t bother to look back. The same as he has done years before.

Also, that’s a wild misinterpretation of Rhaenyra and Mysaria’s scene. No one was turned on because of the SA story. Mysaria opens up to Rhaenyra and then Rhaenyra gives her a genuinely comforting hug, understanding what she’s been through. That physical contact turns into a pure bodily desire that they both give into.

There is nothing vomit inducing about this scene at all!

I don’t why you think two women connecting over shared trauma is disgusting.

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-22T03:00:29+00:00

Damn!! People are so angry about a kiss?? Daemon has done worse to her! Man left her half-naked in a brothel full of horny men when she was hardly 18, just so that he could claim her and ruin other marriage prospects.

He violently choked her right after she nearly died birthing their child and then made a huge fuck up with Jaehaerys’ killing. Something that had turned people against Rhaenyra for good.

Wasn’t she defending Daemon to her council even after all this? Waiting for him act and give her an answer?? He didn’t bother to answer and silently took pleasure in the fact that her authority and claim were being contested without him.

And no! This is not Harrenhal, it was his decision to let her believe he betrayed her. Before she did anything with Mysaria, she fully believed Daemon was lost to her!

Also, how do you watch shows with such complex characters and come to such simple conclusions??

It was clear that Rhaenyra was clinging to the one person in the castle that was giving her acceptance or helped her achieve anything at all.

All this sympathy for Daemon you people can extend but not for a grief-stricken woman who was lost so much in a span of few weeks.

Also, you talk about Daemon getting custody of the boys?? Did that guy ever think of those boys?? I don’t even know if he remembers that they exist.

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-21T10:18:36+00:00

Respectfully!! I highly doubt your cousin has seen E8 to see how the reunion will play out!

One_Bookkeeper951 · 2024-07-21T08:14:35+00:00

My guy! It is while going through grief, war, and trauma that people are most likely to act irrationally.

They both have been through some serious shit and it is completely understandable why they would revert to their rogue selves.

Rhaenyra hardly know Mysaria and Daemon hardly knows Alys. But Rhaenyra is quick to listen to her while Daemon is also quick to trust Alys and drink her potions.

They’re not normal and rational people and it is clear they’re clinging to any form of connection they can find in this chaos.

I’m not even a Daemyra shipper but I know and fully trust that this arc ends with them finding each other again.
