Johnbobb 10/10/22 9:36:06 PM #109:	agreed really, really good episode It feels like the whole series to this point has been the big question of "ok, Viserys MUST be dying this episode, there's no way he survives this" only to see him back the next episode. And now we've finally got the culmination of that, to the point that this feels like ~~the~~ ~~moment the series spins on its head, even after these huge time jumps.~~ It's compelling that there's clearly no heroes here. Alicent is cruel and petty and will defend her line above all else, and her sons are the worst (particularly lil' One Eye over there). Daemon can be great but can just as easily be bloodthirsty at a moments notice. Rhaenyra is the closest thing we have to a protagonist right now, and even she is calculating and morally grey. At least her sons are decent, but I feel like one or both of them will snap at some point. and the way they presented Viserys this episode, both visually and in his performance, should win some Emmys. I'm a sucker for a cool mask, and that gold half-mask over a face eaten by disease?

HanOfTheNekos 10/24/22 7:28:40 PM #143:	That was brilliant. I love them doing the parallel episodes with 9 and 10, greens and blacks. It really sets up such strong comparisons. I'm not planning on reading the book, so don't clarify anything using it to me, but just comparing the two - Alicent tries to be in control as much as she can, but she's so completely a tool. And Rhaenyra, in spite of being a woman who has been bandied about at times in her life, shows that she is strong enough to be Queen. Aegon is a lout - Jacerys is smart and shows wisdom. I hope Otto gets punked bad in this.

mnk 10/25/22 3:59:20 PM #149:	In hindsight, it was incredibly naive of Rhaenyra and Damon to see how sick Viserys was and then decide to go back to Dragonstone anyway. Like what did they think would happen when he died without them there? I get there was a lot of bad blood between the kids and tensions would've boiled over very quickly if they were all living together again, but if nothing else, one of Damon/Rhaenyra should've stayed behind. --- Change is weird. <cite>mnk posted [p:968966589] in House of t...
