And Alicent seemed ready to accept Rhaenyra as queen. Something obviously had to change. Mistaking her husband's delirious repetition of prophecy from Aegon I to be new prophecy about their son was exactly what the doctor ordered to ensure the Dance of Dragons starts and is appropriately tragic. | ||

Also I thought the bald one had the right idea of bending the knee in the moment (after all who cares if apparently you can just change your mind later) but why attempt to run. Surely there is going to be a time where they need to go back to their house and organise support. Just wait for that. | ||

I get that many of them were scared of immediately dying, but wouldn't their deaths trigger where ever they're from to side with Rhaenyra? What was the plan if they all refused?

Generally you don't fake bend the knee as that's dishonorable and people won't trust you. As for his urgency, he wanted to inform Rhanyera ASAP so she could act. | ||

This is my one big issue with the episode (weird theme this season). The writer's explanation is "Rhaenys recognizes Alicent as a mother" which is the dumbest shit ever. Especially since she murdered thousands of innocent commonfolk. Unless it's supposed to be dramatic irony regarding the theme of "when the nobles play their games, the commoner pays the price" (and the writers haven't alluded to this) it's a really stupid scene. | ||

Only thing I can think of is they are actually Rhaenys' family members and perhaps she doesn't want to kill even distant members of her family. Also they could have killed Rhaenys in her sleep but they didn't so maybe she is returning the favour. | ||

The logic seems flimsy unless the insinuation is she truly thinks she can convince Rhanyra to sue for peace (or thinks she can become queen of the ashes) | ||

The (leaked) finale explained it. btw the finale was mind-blowing, jaw-dropping ! not a cliff hanger at all, just a very good ending to the season and setting things in motion for the 2nd. | ||

The show overall is pretty good in season 1, but I really dislike basically all the characters except for Viserys (dead), Rhaneara and the sea snake. Leading for my dislike are alicent, the foot fetishist and the never ageing queens guard. It also took a bit more time to get into all the new characters with the time warp half way through. | ||
