Lots to like about this episode, but I gotta say my favorite part was watching Larys Strong play Queen Alicent like a fiddle. He gives the impression of someone who could give Littlefinger and Varys a run for their money, which is something the show really needed. He absolutely stole that scene and honestly made Otto Hightowers manipulations of Viserys (even the ones that worked) look like the rumblings of a child.

I also really like how they treated Ser Criston Cole here. The book never really gives a clear picture of what causes his falling out with Princess Rhaenyra but the writers did a great job of pricing together a strong and believable motivation for him.

Good stuff, looking forward to shit really hitting the fan in the second half of the season.
