The fact that Alicent didn’t go comfort her son when he was bawling, his eyes out is awful to me as a mother, especially where she had to go get her some with Cole

I’m also not surprised that with the way they were raised, Aegons first response to the death of his son is rage. The scene with the council truly tugs at my heart strings. it honestly made me feel physically sick. Aegon had just lost his child, his son and heir and all these people around him, some of whom are his family, don’t sympathize with him and don’t grieve for Jaehaerys, instead they coolly propose to make the boys funeral and act of propaganda.. And that expression on his face when he looks at everyone, as if asking for help and support and he doesn’t find any of it. The way he looks at Alicent, his mother and even asks for her support as he stated that he did not want his son to be dragged through the city. It’s just so heartbreaking. The entirety of this complex story is just tragic. :(

2025-02-16 15:11:03 +0000 UTC25:07, little correction for you here brad! When you said “god, she’s beautiful”, the actor of older Rhaenyra, emma d’arcy, uses they/them pronouns so for future reference just say something like “they’re beautiful” 😄

2025-02-16 04:27:13 +0000 UTCLoved Tom's acting in this episode. Aegon is a bad dude but he cracks me up sometimes and his monologue near the start was so good ngl aegon and helena carried this season for me.

2025-02-16 00:30:53 +0000 UTCI always think about how the actor who plays Criston Cole described his character as a thug. I thought it was such an apt description, and very appropriate for his behavior toward Arryk in this episode. And I’m not sure if you heard it or not, but when Aegon named Criston Cole as his hand, he said, “my new hand is a steel fist.” This was a famous line from the book Fire and Blood.

2025-02-15 23:34:31 +0000 UTCAs Sansa was such a fan of songs and stories, especially those that involved chivalry, I’m pretty sure that she was the first one in the main story that mentioned the song written for the twin brothers, which told the story of how they died on each other sword, while crying over the fact that they still loved each other. But I’m pretty sure that we heard Bran mention the twins among the King’s Guards that he idolized. And then there was the Queen of Thorns, Margaery’s grandmother, who in the books had a pair of guards who were twin brothers. And they were named after the twins Arryk and Erryk. So the Cargyll twins get a lot of love in the main book series.

2025-02-15 23:18:07 +0000 UTCI love Aemond's delusion cause he laid on that lady's lap and said "dameon considers me such a foe" like he didn't kill Luc a few days ago

2025-02-15 21:14:42 +0000 UTCSo glad Cristen Cole is getting the hate he deserves. I had no doubt you’d get there. The projection and hypocrisy ARE CRAZY.

2025-02-15 21:06:38 +0000 UTCAdam on the beach was seeing Seasmoke, Laenor's dragon. The twins dying together is a HUGE part of this history, the sheer sadness of brothers being forced to battle each other to the death. Still loving each other to the end. He didn't fall on his sword for Rhaenera, he couldn't live with the knowledge that he'd killed his own twin. The ratcatchers. Remember how Arya was chasing cats? Once Aegon hanged all of the castle ratcatchers, the rats got out of control. So they brought in a bunch of cats to take care of the problem instead.

2025-02-15 20:59:00 +0000 UTCThe fact that Alicent chose not to be there for Aegon when he cried at the end of the episode and the fact that Aemond is in a brothel getting cuddled by a lady who is likely the same age as Alicent is WILD! So they both seem a little fucked up...looks like they didnt get much love from their mother.....Erik killing himself to me was like he could not live with the fact that he killed his twin brother, broke my heart. Fun fact: Rhaenys and Corlys are one of only few couples in this show that got married out of love, not duty <3 love that!
