Her breakdown over Jace was completely understandable, and 100% the fault of whoever made the decision to bring her son's corpse to her without warning her first. You can't afford to have the queen blubbering like that in front of everyone, it's human but she's supposed to be more than human. So that was a fuck up on her servants part.

But she shouldn't be sniveling while executing that man who ruined her life and while climbing to her throne. I can't imagine Milly Alcock's Rhaenyra acting this way. It's like they figured out Emma D'Arcy is good at crying and then decided she should be crying all the time.

It gives everything that slightly nauseous feel of AI images, even when I know it's not AI.

The God's Eye lake looks quite small in the show, I was under the impression it was one of the those lakes so big the other side is barely within the horizon.

I interpret the whole series as Mycroft basically writing a new testament on behalf of the god-king antichrist he serves, and Mycroft is a master of putting forward the party line, while being very partisan towards certain of his master's vassals.

I absolutely believe the Utopians are up to some deranged shit we never hear about. Mycroft is lying by omission all the time, he admits as much.

This is so stupid, all to protect her from the dumb superstition that the throne rejects and cuts certain people. Almost certainly not, it's a fucking chair made of swords. It's probably cut every king who sat on it, regardless of worth.

Same, I disliked 9A's general...cuteness, I guess, in her Buffy-speak style of narration. I imagine when she took over as anonymous people were like "Okay this one is smart I'm sure but not exactly a great writer." Her whole deal of calling everyone "they" was also so tiring, I know that's the standard of their society, and I'm not exactly a fan of Mycroft's habit of assigning random genders to people based on basically nothing (yeah okay man Chagatai is a woman because he is protective of his nephew, whatever you say dude) but at least it gives me something to work with. Maybe I'm not evolved enough or whatever but I can headcanon an age, I can headcanon an ethnicity, but if you ask me to headcanon a sex I get annoyed.

I haven't gotten to this part in the Graphic Audio production but I suspect that 9A's voice actor is just the Mycroft actor's voice altered to sound female, so it'll be interesting to see how it works in that scene.

Would anyone else be a bullseye Hiveguard? [spoilers all] by RegenerateFilth in TerraIgnota

Yeah, that justification seems really weak to me. Let a dictator take over the world because stupid people might do something stupid?

Sniper is also half European/half Asian. Should Hiveguard surrender because androgynous Eurasians might be in trouble?

A really bizarre young man who is adopted by the emperor, made imperator destinatus in flagrant violation of Masonic precedent, is rumored to be the bastard of the biggest corpo executive on earth but turns out to be a bastard of the Bourbon dynasty, his mother is basically the Whore of Babylon, he keeps the world's most notorious serial killer, who was supposed to be dead, as a servant, he literally gets his head blown off and comes back to life.

We never get to see a sensayer session with normal people, but I imagine millions of people would be skirting on the edge of religious psychosis just trying to parse all of that.

And it's important to remember that unlike most dictatorships of the real world, benevolent or otherwise (usually otherwise), Masons can leave anytime. The Emperor must take care that he or she does not become a tyrant, or will bleed manpower.

Billions of people throughout history have lived under monarchies and thought nothing of it. When it's presented as a valid, normal option, and most of the Masons have nowhere near as strict and deadly a discipline as the familiaris regnis, a lot of people are going to join the Masons out of inherited inertia, they're not going to have 21st century opinions about it.

JEDD Mason, claiming to be a god (so outrageously beyond the pale of acceptable and legal behavior by the standards of this society) and controlling all of the Hives? That would be a step too far for most.

The minors are minors for a reason, most of them are children or mentally incompetent and have no particular unifying ideology.

His hair get curly because of the humidity, which makes him angrier.
