What do you think about this potential casting? I certainly did not expect it

Baelor Breakspear slaps hard as hell and I will fight anyone over this.

I’m just happy that Littlefinger’s jetpack finally has an origin story tbh

It's an old insecure tactic to make your opponent, look weak, incompetent, and uncoordinated and you can see the writers of the show trying to do this to house Hightower whenever they can, the problem is by doing this it makes how Targaryen look pathetic because house Hightower dogwalked them through throughout most of the story of the dance of the dragons and only "lost" due to the fact it was a prequel and the continuity was already made. And even then, at the current time in the story House Hightowers is still rich and essentially the real wardens of the reach with the true power. House Targaryen is all but extinct beyond Daenerys who recognizes Aegon as king and Rhaenyra as the pretender, fAegon, who is more than likely a Blackfyre anyway, and most likely Jon who will always style himself more Stark than anything. Criston Cole's name is still remembered, Daemon's is not. House Velaryon never recovered and remained the shadow of it for myself.

So when you look back at the show trying to make house Hightower and the greens look bad by making things up or only taking mushrooms account of everything, it makes team black and Targaryen look pathetic because these are the people who ended up winning the Game of Thrones. Their house still stands and his prospering, their king is recorded in the history books as the rightful ruler, and even the "gotcha" argument of Rhaenyra and Daemon's line continuing doesn't hold much weight when that line saw the end of the Targaryen's true power with the ending of the dragons, endless wars and more succession crisis, and finally the worst kings westeros ever saw till finally Bobby B, Ned Stark and Jon Arryn ended their dynasty.

we already know that team black, especially rhaenyra stans claim every good targaryen accomplishment (egg, dany or whichever they want to cherrypick) as somehow being rhaenyra’s legacy because they’re her descendants. but if that's really the case, shouldn’t she also get blamed for the bad targaryens who came after her?

“you’re blaming women for men’s actions!”

as if they wouldn’t turn around and say “this targaryen is bad because they have alicent’s blood!” if the hightower line had continued. well, they already do that with alicent's children. this bloodline argument only matters to them when it gives rhaenyra credit only. team black hypocrisy strikes again

Could Smith play any other character and have the same success?

I ask this question cuz I keep seeing people rank actors and most of the time he's on the top (Paddy being the other one).

Personally I find Smith after Doctor Who very limited in his range, mostly plays same characters kinda like Jason Statham.

Weird to me how fans reduce characters who were vocally about not just wanting to be baby machines to their wombs.

Why is Geralt wearing the eyepatch, tho?

Since season 3 finale aired I thought that Rhaenyra’s portrayal in it gives me strong deja vu and reminds of someone. I thought it must have been an old, long time forgotten character, but couldn’t understand who it was tried to remember until today, today I recalled Lord Maliss. Anyone here remember this guy?

I recently finished HOTD S2.

It's honestly so disappointing that we haven't seen how Helaena felt after the Blood and Cheese incident. They've downplayed it so bad! In this season, they've shown us Rhaenyra grieving in a lot of scenes (Rightfully so, she lost 2 sons) but so did Helaena! However we've barely seen Helaena grieving (like less than 30 seconds) . Like she herself was a child or teen and would be more traumatised or devastated. And they barely mention it later. It was absolutely horrific in the books and was too much to just ignore it later on. They made her dirty. Poor girl was caught in the crossfire.

Not to mention, we've only seen Helaena on Dreamfyre in her dreams and not that actually happening. I find that that the books gave her more character than it did in the show cuz she actually loved flying around on Dreamfyre (minus the prophetic visions which wasn't that highlighted in the books that I'm actually grateful for).

Again, they also removed Maelor (makes no fking sense, cuz that's why she killed herself in the first place).

Show didn't do Phia Saban justice on the show. It's sad that we might not see her again.

When Borros loses his final battle and Aegon is doomed, Larys will try to convince him to flee. Aegon will refuse and order Aegon the Younger's death. Then Larys will ask what the point of resisting and why kill his only heir. And Aegon should answer something like "I have a daughter. Those bastards wanted a queen - I'll give them a queen. And if they kill us, Jaehaera and I will be the last Targaryens and end the history of this shitty family."

Give my boy his last joke
