I'm glad he has the capacity to critique when things aren't done the way he would like AND understand that there's some pretty implicit limitations with the TV art form. Like I don't think I've seen GRRM give wonton "the episode sucked because I would've done it like this" criticism yet

Last of us was great u just salty

I'm hoping there's a moment where someone really viciously dissects Rhaenyra and Alicent (especially the latter), because there's so many things that could've been gone differently if these two (especially Alicent) knew how f***ed they were as people

(especially Alicent)

S*** was crazy. Aemond damn near committed regicide right there.

For a second I thought he was loyal to his brother. Nah, he wants that crown himself

Some REALLY good writing in every scene where Aegon gets undressed. It also couples with Aemond and the consistent theme of his ruthlessness in response to any slights

The slow build up with him and Daemon as separate but similar characters should result in a hell of a climax one day here (for external reference, I have not read the book; this is just a guess)

Man Robb was just such a heartbreak

Dude really could've done it.

They already got it. They crippled the king and burnt him like a hotdog left on the grill too long.

At this rate your only opposition is Aemond lmao

I don't see how this war lasts 2 more seasons. Seems like the s*** could end within another couple battles

Aemond is not cartoonish at all, they’ve done a good job of making him a multi-dimensional character whereas Ramsay was just pure psychopathy.

Aemond doesn’t get off on the violent and cruel things like Ramsay did. He’s cold, calculating, & does what he thinks is necessary for the best of the realm and his house. Because he’s still young he sometimes lets his worst impulses get in the way (killing Luke, attempting to kill Aegon). But he’s also shown some remorse for the terrible things done, something a cartoonish villain character would never do.

I don't think there has been one thing he has done that could be considered "for the good of the realm" or his house lol. He simply hates the fact his brother is king. its wild you say he's calculating but then pass off those two things as just his impulses getting the best of him when those were both calculated decisions lo

to me he's just literal cringe whenever he's on screen.

every other major player is more compelling

The subtitles for that scene were funny too. Aemond’s so polished and Aegon’s Valyrian is broken. 😂

What a f***ing episode man.

Not looking at spoilers but i'm amped to watch this new episode

Aegon being out the way is great for Greenfam.

It's peaceful and cool and no one dies

This s*** works on Dany's dragons that were like 5-10 years old, Vhagar is like 180+ they would need a perfect shot to the eye to take her down lol

I know damn well it's the complete opposite

Never thought I’d be hating on a dragon, but f*** man.

Have some fun lame ass lol

rooting for the greens is literally like rooting for a house full of cersei's which is just ridiculous

Gotta make sure the quality stays up though. I remember celebrating and saying the same thing as a MCU fan.

All she had to do was say Dracarys

Ehh it ain't that deep lol
