As soon as Alicent Hightower interrupted the king with her arrival and green dress. I feel like that was the moment she decided to start, “Playing the game.”
She’s may think she’s playing but she’s the one getting played like a bloody fiddle m8. Larys Strong and her papa pull the strings
@@Windrammer so is literally everyone, he's on a different tier we don't need to talk about him here
@@Windrammer lol how? All larys did was tell her a truthful secret not everything has to be someone getting played
@@SouthJerzVillains fockin hell m8 watch all 10 seasons of Read Between the Lions and then get back to me
@@Windrammer No, she IS playing the game. They gave her information, but she she is now making her decisions. That's the point of the green dress. SHE now has agency and is exercising it.
I love how Alicent refers to Rhaenera as her "step-daughter" when 'congratulating' her on her wedding. That choice to use that affectation speaks volumes.
“Bitch who’s ya mammy now!?!”
And she defined the relationship clearly.
22:37 Daemon never standing when someone important walks into the room will never get old to me! Matt Smith is absolutely ROCKING this character
“If he had a deeper voice he’d be unstoppable” that was hilarious 😂
Otto and Alicents scene when he was leaving was amazing. This is what the later seasons of GoT should have been with the higher budget. Really gearing up to be a 10/10 show.
I think the reason he cannot perform is because it has things to do with power. He felt like his position as heir was threatened and he was losing power so he couldn’t perform with his mistress, he was all into it with Rhnerya until she was into it and started being more aggressive towards him. Obviously his wife was a very strong dominant woman so you could imagine she probably made him feel very emasculated. He thrives when he’s wanted mark my words he’ll be able to perform once he’s with a woman that he feels he is dominating.
Which is why he'll have the twin daughters with Laena
I agree to some extent but Leana Valereon doesn't strike me a submissive woman still he'll be happily married to her and have kids with her! So is it really about control 🤔 I don't think! In my opinion it's the family drama once he gets away from the impositions due to his rank or his older brother's injunctions he thrives and is at peace at least for some time!
I feel like Rhaenyra from now on is only going to fall right into his arms. She will start to feel isolated.
Most characters George RR Martin writes that have impotence or manhood issues have crazy amounts of anger or just plain shifty. I would be willing to bet in reality there is a strong percentage of problems with men that have that problem as well.
Next time, could you start with naming the person you're talking about? "He" isn't a good start
I think it's an important point that Criston attacks and murders Joffrey, not just a nobleman and just because he snapped. Joffrey just spilled his secret and offered an alliance of secret paramours, and Criston feels insulted that he was reduced to "a whore" again. And he decides to murder him, because he wants to get back at Rhaenyra and Laenor: for having the freedom, for having their honour intact, for having each others backs. Basically, it's a revenge murder, with the premise that he is ready to die himself. Like I'm gonna fuck it up for you before I go.
What doesnt make sense is why he killed him right there at the wedding vs when hes alone so no one would know..
@@MoonlightSonata88 well his plan was to kill himself after, so he didn’t care if people knew (in his head, he’s already lost his honour anyway). In fact, I’m sure he wanted Rhaenyra to know
Completely agree mdgb6e! I thought and felt the exact same thing so thanks and well said. I know others don't agree and have their own reasons but this one makes more sense to me but each their own. I like that it's left open to interpretation like this anyway.
THIS!
I don't think that Criston knew that he was going to kill Joffery. There was nothing premeditated within those split moments and if he really wanted to do a "revenge" murder he would've waited for a different (not public) opportunity. I believe he was truly so overwhelmed at the realization that he was a "whore again" that he started to fight Joffery and accidentally killed him out of anger. It's difficult to argue that there was pre-meditation since it was a really quick decision.
Man it's so sad. First time we see Viserys he's laughing and happy when he gets crowned. Then we see him laughing and telling jokes. And now he is just constantly suffering. He's not great, but he's not bad either. He didn't deserve this.
what he as a ped*
Kristen Cole's problem is not love, but honor. He is not in love with Rhenira and nowhere does he say - I love you. He talks about freedom and a new way of life that Rhaenyra supposedly constantly murmured about. In fact, he himself said, "I thought that if we got married, I would regain my honor." Nothing else.
When he confessed to Alicent, he spoke only of the consequences to himself and not a word about those that Rhaenyra would have to overcome.
Criston, not Kristen.
@@7Nebulae7 Crispen, not Criston
Crispy not crispen
Triscuit not biscuit 🙃
After this ep not sure why rhae would continue with him he seems unhinged.
I hope we get more of rhaenys, loved all her scenes so far and the actress is killing it. Also love that she isn’t in the trope of the jealous heir to the throne who was passed over
@@gangaim08 they're talking about rhaenys not rhaenyra
@@gangaim08 wrong. you're thinking of rhaenyra
@@gangaim08 and its Alicent, not Millicent. 0 for 2.
I'm going to miss Milly, she did a phenomenal job
Emily is a better actress.
Same
We will get them in flashbacks
The young actresses, in particular Alicent and Rhaenyra will be getting a lot more jobs because of their roles! I thought they were spectacular young actresses!! Looking forward to seeing more from them in the future!!
*I'm sure I misspelled their names. Quick take on my part. Cheers!
Alicent’s performance when talking to Christon was absolutely stellar. You can see every emotion on her face, from confusion to realization then to disgust
I feel so bad for Laenor, man got thrown right into the fire.
Daemon looking like the grim reaper when Rhea Royce pulled up lmao.
And poor Ser Criston man. Granted, what he was asking was kinda ridiculous at least from Rhaenyra’s perspective. Like “yeah darlin’ we can survive off oranges and cinnamon in Essos. Live our own lives without servants or anything. Syrax can come too ig” lol
Cole wanted to give Raenyra freedom, but she just changed her mind and already prefers the crown to freedom.
She would have lived longer (and perhaps happier) if she had run away with Cole.
@@skywatcheradept no Rhae realized she has power and freedom as the heir and future Queen. She does not have to fly away to Essos
I think Jeoffery was simply trying to relate to Christen Cole. I dont think it was a threat, but rather "This sucks, My lovers marrying your lover, how funny but lucky we are." As if he had made a new friend in the position of concubine. Reaneyra was so cool and DTE about the thing, he assumed CC would be too. "We know their secrets, we mean allot to them, we have a place with them". CC was disgusted by the lack of honor.. "if we both die, they can have a honorable marriage".
@spoons yesssss thats great. Cuz I said exact samething. Dude was like hey we r the side pieces awesome and uhh not today!!!
Yeah I think the gap between that conversation and the attack was a bit odd. If Criston was going to lose his shit, he should have been like DID SHE TELL HER HUSBAND? DID HE TELL YOU? DOES EVERYONE KNOW? Or something to justify him losing his shit for the first time.
99% of Westeros believes being gay (or I guess “buggery”) is an offence to the gods. So I’m finding it hard to believe that this guy felt so secure enough in his present situation to out both himself and his lover to what is essentially a complete stranger. This is beyond Ned confronting Cersei in the godswood levels of stupidity
@@lucas5665 bad writing honestly
They actually did have divorces. Especially for childlessness, adultery and un-consummated marriages. Ironically Daemon and Rhea had all three issues.
Daemon flirting with Laena “Damn, Girl… can’t wait to not have sex with you” and “My brother f’d uppppppp!” 😂
Does Alicent really love her kids as a mother should though? Every time we’ve seen her interact with her children in the past few episodes she is not engaged with them at all and she isn’t even capable of calming them down enough to stop crying. It would make sense seeing as how they were basically forced on her & considering how “1 or more of them” turn out it makes sense that she wouldn’t be exactly loving & nurturing toward them during their childhood.
I feel like if rynearara (sp?) Had stepped in as the "cool older sister" & maybe helped allicent with the kids they could have worked together or the very least there wouldn't be so much animosity between the siblings 🤷♀️
I just hope they explain why Criston wasn’t immediately taken outside and beheaded. I mean he struck the future King Consort and his best friend as well as ruin the future queens wedding celebration and could have gotten hurt if not killed. I just think they could’ve handled the logistics of that scene better and hopefully I have to eat these words next episode but with the ten year time jump im scared they might just ignore it lol
He could have said that Joffrey made accusations about the King Consorts' sexual orientation.
Oh, another observation. Just because the King couldn't see Daemon getting close and possibly kissing Rhaenyra, it's very much possible from Cristin's viewpoint while Joffrey was talking to him, saw Daemon and Rhaenyra possibly going to kiss and just lost it. Because he didn't know Rhaenyra was out with Daemon just before he had sex with her (He just learned that from Alicent), breaking his oath and since she doesn't love him but loves Daemon, she was just using him. That would make any guy flip.
Joffrey being there softly blackmailing him wasn't helping and he was the nearest person to clobber.
This series has done a great job of laying out all the main players reasons for the choices they make. In a way that isn't completely spelled out for the viewer either. I started off rooting for Rhaenyra and now I'm leaning more towards Alicent due to what has transpired in the last two episodes. A boss move by her representing house Hightower.
alicent sucks she starts a civil war after killing the king and gets her whole family killed just cause she wanted her kids on the throne
what I love about the show is how every scene is so complex and subtle two viewers watching it simultaneously can have very different interpretations of what's happened:
like did Criston Cole (1) willingly do or want it or (2) was he pressured into it with Rhaenyra
or
whether Joffrey was (1) threatening or (2) teasing Criston or saying (3) this sucks that we're the side-hoes forever to be side-hoes.
I was wondering why the other gold cloaks didn’t stop him? But afterwards I figured the gold wall would protect him and the body cam video would disappear. 😂😮
Not the body cam 😂😂😂
@32:30
What Viserys should have said is: "STOP THIS MADNESS IN THE NAME OF YOUR KING!"
Well, if you think about it, the Maesters are in a sense they're their own house and they're also located in OldTown so I wouldn't be surprised they're working behind the scenes to support the HighTowers. It may not be an overt alliance, there is a bias. So, the "tea" was probably at the Grand Maester's suggestion but you know that potion could have caused infertility. But yeah, having Alisand's son becoming the heir isn't going to hurt the Maesters.
It isn’t the lack of stamina that keeps Daemon unable to perform, it’s that he has “Sweet Home Alabama” playing in his head…
Honestly though
Kentucky has the most recorded cases of incest.
Keep Lynrd Skynrd and Alabama's name's out-cha fuckin' mouth.
Facts
"DJ Jazzy Jeff of Westeros" Beau, your comparisons over the years are impeccable!
Alicent officially joining the game on her own terms.
I feel kinda bad for Viserys lol between his wife and child dying, his brother and daughter, his Hand and Maester, not being able to kill the Stag with one hit, he's falling apart quite literally nothing ever seems to go exactly the way he'd like it to lol for a "Dragon King," he's got the _worst_ luck, out of everybody in the show, so far! 😀
And his facial expressions have been increasingly hilarious! He's being portrayed so perfectly, I can't get enough of Paddy's performance.
Amazing, and tragic 😥
Viserys can’t even uphold his boundaries with his brother lol
Always love seeing these reviews, thank you for continuing them!
15:55 I’m honestly both of you. It sucks and I feel bad for Cristin being so hurt
But also dude she’s set to be QUEEN and you’re out here like “let’s go be broke with spices” that is not a good trade my guy 😂😂
When Alicents father tells her, her kids will die, or she will have to beg for mercy and trust Rhaenyra , then the say day or week, she learns that she can't trust Rhaenyras word, then her fear and fathers words become more true, and she probably feels responsible for her fathers dismissal, because she trusted Rhaenyra word. And she was forced into a marriage and the role and station in society, and then her best friend lies and doesn't. Jealousy, bitterness fear, all put togherter can change a person.
Sounds crazy but I think Daemon actually takes marriage very seriously. Despite all the "doesn't stop us from fking" talk, he's very bothered by the fact he's married to someone he doesn't love. He sees the union as a humiliation forced upon him and his wife as a sworn enemy. He really does care.
Yeah and in his mind, he’s doing the ‘proper’ thing in order to properly marry Rhaenyra…which is to remove the first wife which is the obstacle since polygamy is a no-no. Also, in Ep 6 and 7, we actually see just how seriously he takes the whole marriage situation with Rhaenyra.
The moment Alicent interrupted the king and called Rhaenyra her step-daughter, she became Heitowerberg
😂based
Leanor best dressed ever. That cry he let out gave me chills.
I really liked the blood and cheese nod to close out this section and usher in the next. Even knowing what's to come, it makes the 2nd half of the series feel so foreboding.
@@leplus1 she doesn't pay anyone Daemon does. He writes her "a son for a son"
I’m digging the new intro soup. Throw the bag at Teddy to go through every single movie and tv show to find more good soup clips!
It's been on there for a while now hasn't it?
Yeah totally not new
They used it (Sansa drinking soup) doing Game of Thrones later seasons then switched to the scene of Adam Driver eating soup at a diner in the HBO show "Girls" after that. Then for HOTD they back to doing the Sansa scene again, sorta a nod back to GOT days intro.
Great episode imo. when Alicent walks into the throne room in the "Green" dress, it was 👌👌🔥🔥 definitely a turning point for her. I've really loved what they've done with her character compared to the book. Emily Carey's performance has been incredible.
The music for the scene was “Rains of Castamere” level fire too.
I’ve been looking for a good channel that explores and reviews HOD episodes and man have I found it! First time listening/watching your channel and it’s great. Love the back and forth discussions. The different perspectives you both provide. Definitely subscribed and looking forward to hearing more of your videos.
Hope you enjoyed the soup 🍲 😀
Viserys seems like he's about to die at any moment, so I'm surprised that he's able to make it all the way to episode 6 where there's a 10 year time jump. I think they should've slowed down the spread of his illness throughout these past 5 episodes to make that more believable lol. Like, I'm sure the audience is fully aware of the fact that he's not going to be around for much longer, so they probably could've scaled back on how deathly ill they made him appear to be in each episode.
Exactly
Hope you guys get a bigger crowd, really good videos/podcasts. love the content/analysis
Found you guys in 2017 with your Westworld reviews and the quality of your videos has only improved, ice watched every one. You guys do great work
Ser Criston Cole gives me a "Kit Harington Jon Snow vibe".
It wasn't a wedding. It was a dinner basically in celebration of the coming wedding. He ended up forcing a shotgun wedding after the disaster of it akl
It’s so hard getting attached knowing what’s going to happen.
thank you guys. I look forward to your reviews every week
So having never read the books I watched a summary of the dance of the dragons and holy fuck this show is about to ignite
Daemon can't perform because of his dominant issue. Every one of his sexual encounters he's had he's tried to be the dominant one and was met back with equal dominance and it affects him so. It's kind of like that in every encounter he has sexual or not. You can see that he either tries to intimidate or dominate. Ego tripping at its finest
Most woman want to be dominated in bed. As a women myself..I can tell you there is nothing hotter than a man that takes control and dominates. It makes women feel desirable and sexy and that the man will stop at nothing just to have her.
That scene where he stops in anger with Rhaeynera caused women everywhere to get the equivalent of blue balls! (Once you get past the incest part anyways)
So you're saying the Rogue Prince is a total bottom?
@@ljb8157 yeah idk about most bb def not like that and it’s a wild thing to set as a norm
I can’t begin to express how excited I am this is all back after 3 years I’ve missed all the analysis videos of GoT and theories on what will happen. Only thing I’m more excited for is the Jon Snow Sequel to GoT coming.
idk i find Cole super interesting, he had nothing before the King’s Guard and his honor and after that lapse of his honor, he’s grasping at straws that aren’t there and ultimately wants death because he feels like he now truly has nothing
I liked all the "heyyyyy!!" during the dancing bc it's like opaaaa for greeks lol
It’s so funny to me that male reviewers can’t understand why we fall so hard for characters like Harwin, but it’s a great lesson on the female gaze if you care to learn. Whoever is writing these men knows what’s up
We understand, he is a himbo who is a good little man servant that does what ever she wants.
There isn't that much depth to the female gaze. Y'all loved Cole last week till he showed weakness and had expectations of Rhaenyra
@@theelectricprince8231 Oh I’m sure you deeply understand the female gaze. You seem like you get all the ladies 😂
Your reviews are so godam good, look forward to them as much as the episodes.
If you watch the scene where the Quenn Alicent walks into the throne room during the banquet Daemon is the only person in the whole room that doesn't stand. He remains seated the whole time and shows that he hates Otto so much it carries over to his daughter and you can't blame him. If Otto didn't manipulate the King to remove Daemon from being the heir then none of this would have happened. What's sad is that Daemond displays most of the characteristics of being a great leader and king. He's not perfect but that is why you surround yourself with people who can negate those weaknesses.
"Daemond displays most of the characteristics of being a great leader and king."
Daemond crushed his wife's skull with a stone. A great leader and king indeed
@@vulc1 I mean
You can be a great leader an still a murderer?
Fairly sure in real history there was many kings that killed their wife's.
N***a what? He would be a terrible king.
I get you but for when it comes to the political sides of the king he would be too reckless
He definitely wouldn’t allow his wife to show up in a green dress at his daughters wedding 😂. Viserys is weak. Nobody fears him.
After one night? Im assuming they've kept this up for a while? There's definately a time jump from last episode. Not sure how long though.
Yeah the thing i hate about this season is the quick harsh time jumps. I wish they would take more time with the story so we can grow with the chsracters a bit
Loving the show! Every episode has been more enjoyable than the last for me. The story build up has been reminiscent of old Thrones.
Alicent's entrance immediately became one of the series' most iconic moments
It looked like when Criston & Rhaenyra were ‘coupling’ there was someone watching from behind a wall. Perhaps from the secret passageway. Perhaps Larys Strong.
The whole season has been a bless so far, but this episode is an absolute 10/10, on par with some of the very best of GoT.
Criston going bat-shit insane, Daemon being Daemon, Otto being characterized as a much more neutral player than thought at first, Alicent taking control of her life for once, Larys developing as this show's Littlefingerish character-type, Viserys descending even further down into weakness, Corlys getting payback on the several slights his family suffered, and Ser Harwin "THE UNIT" Breakbones showing off after people complained about how he doesn't look the part as the strongest knight in the realm!
The new hand the Strong guy, came off as of good council at first, not as self-interested and sneaky as Otto, but his sons seem to have their agenda especially clab-foot. Is it their father's agenda they're pushing being close to both belligerents R & A, or a proper initiative? Any insights?
Enjoying your podcast. One note when you say the king is in the background watching. I don't even think he's watching LoL he seems oblivious for the most part. Ya maybe he noticed something here or there but he seemed more interested in his food LoL
First time watcher of Your guys’ content! Really loved this review and breakdown
The Kristen Cole takes in this are horrible how do you miss all the set up from the first episode and how serious honor is to him
I appreciated the exposition about the green dress because I figured that was their house colors but didn’t know they signified war
First time catching your content, I'm hooked!! Smart, funny and interesting. Happy that I came across your video!!
Honestly I think the thing with Criston had more to do with the class divide than his honor. She's not taking the same risks he is. This guy who came from nothing is not going to react well to the thought that he's been used and discarded.
Criston shares a thread with Rhaenyra and Daemon and Viserys; at some point he realizes playing the game is useless for him. It might get him station, but it won't make him any happier.
That all intersects with what Fabian Frankel was saying in an interview about how Criston's a "thug," who disdains the court and sees himself as fundamentally apart from them. So he feels like someone's risked his life on a limb, and he's also self-centered and arrogant in a real big real medieval knight kind of way, and that leads to violence.
Exactly.
Some good soup to get the day going.
"Get Paramore-zoned"
Ok, that's my kind of joke
That suds reference killed me.
I hope if the HOTD goes full anthology they cover some of the other Kings and periods. There are 3 other crucial ones besides Viserys. Aegon The Unworthy (Blackfyre Rebellions), Aegon The Unlikely (Blood Raven shows up), Aerys The Mad King (so we get a little of Robert's rebellion) they could make each one last about 3 seasons and segway into the next story.
The original Aegons story of when he 1st conquers westoros w/ his sister wives would be good also 👍
To be honest I am not mad at Sir Cole, if anything, Sir Joffrey showed his hand entirely to early. A knight in the Kingsguards bedding royalty means castration, and being sent to the wall. Its not hard to see why he would behave the way he did.
They are both fools. Ser Cole is clearly very emotionally unstable and not fit for this kind of game. And yea ser Joffery completely overplayed his hand.. not only that, he chose to tease a potential ally for no good reason... Obviously he couldn't have known that Ser Cole was on the edge of total emotional collapse, but there's absoutely no reason to antagonise someone you should be trying to make friends with.
After Alicent's "conversion" with the club foot, she started wearing her house colours (her mother's dress) before her entrance to the feast. That's when she took herself out if her husband namesake.
Well it was that, what otto told her, and that she figured out Rhaenyra blatantly lied to her...was the culmination of all those.
The most unbelievable part of this show is that, after 3+ years and 2 pregnancies, her mom’s dress still fits the same
@@tenshinokuragari not as unbelievable as you think, I know quite a few people that never changed a clothes size after giving birth.
14:35 maaaaan that's me everytime they mention the prophecy in this show 🤣
The first scene and last scene were my biggest problem just doing that in the middle of a wedding like that with seemingly no repercussions going by books very odd but great middle.I liked the lemon gate reference also.
Many royal weddings started and ended in tragedy. Massacre’s, witch hunts, Uncle’s marrying niece’s. It happened
Exactly! It made no sense that he was just able to walk out of the wedding. I don't see how it could be possible for the Queen to keep this guy around after assaulting a royal family member and killing a member of their guard or whatever that guy's position was. Really doesn't sit well with how everything else normally plays out.
They didn't do a good job of explaining what exactly was happening during the melee, how it started, who was involved, what it ultimately meant, etc. Maybe I was too preoccupied with the idea of it being another red or purple wedding, so I was falling for red herrings indicating a scheme was underway (e.g. Rhaenyra's dialogue, Lionel's hand gesture and Rhaenyra scooped up, the king's reaction, all the men pouring through the door, etc.), when it just turned out to be a couple of dudes fighting to the death. Followed immediately by just a wedding-lite. Ok, I guess
So because we didn't really see what happened, and though I can't stand him, Ser Criston Cole MAY have just been doing his job. Our view was obscured, purposefully.. there has to be a reason for that.
Maybe Daemon did kiss Rhaeynera and Joffrey went to attack Deamon for dishonoring Laenor and his future wife during their wedding festival and Cole jumped into action to protect Deamon and Rhaeynera.
I'm not saying that's what definitely happened... just that it's a possibility or something like that might have happened that we didn't see... because we really didn't see anything...except the end of the fight.
@@Hanginglimbs1 I think that was on purpose. There's no other explanation. They obscured our view on purpose
Throughout the entire wedding celebration I was waiting for the other shoe to drop and then I was like Jerry Jerry lol
“I’m sure he’d like a little cheese to go along with that blood” because we all know how well blood and cheese work together thanks to blood and fire
I love your podcast. The very best, thank you!
The music when Alicent walks in is 🔥
I love how they made Criston Cole the Disney knight who wandered into Westeros. Like this is Sleeping Beauty or some shit lol
Been waiting for my soup!
Great vid when I did my reaction for my channel my brain was all over the place I couldn't think for a hot min. That's when you know an episode is good it leaves you speechless and confused in a good way. 🖤🐉
How did Alicent go from tending to her husband when he collapsed, immediately to stopping Ser Criston from committing suicide outside in front of the Godswood?
it didnt happen at the same time
That moment with Lionel strong and his son was Epic I was hoping you guys would touch on it lol
I love the Valarion music
A big hole in the show is that we still don't know how dragon riders summon their dragons
They light the flame at old town with wildfire when they are at war haha
word of the week: ✨paramourzoned ✨
I saw a really cool theory about Daemon and why he “can’t finish”. What if Daemon was sexually abused when he was young that is why when he’s not in control of the situation he shuts down. Because his wife doesn’t seem to be the kind of girl that would let him always be in control and Rheanyra was the same. Just a cool thought and loved the way that man came in strutting around with a smile on his face he was loving that shit. Great review as always
Been waiting for this !
Corlys is the mvp, what a boss
Saw that blood and cheese sneak
I may be misreading this, but do you think it’s plausible that Lionel Strong could have passed the information about the moon tea on to Larys?
Lionel has been a chief confidant to the king and he is now the hand. From the beginning, he has shown reservations against putting a woman on the iron throne. Could he have passed this information along with full knowledge that it could destabilize the relationship between Rhaenyra and Alicent?
Daemon can get it up. He just can't finish. It's a totally different character trait. He's not impotent. He just can't get no satisfaction.
No wonder he's so miserable lol who wouldn't be with that issue.
Maybe he's on lexipro?
Once again i am 100% on Board , Sir Takeshi 69 ( AKA loose lips, AKA "Dude make an appt. with a Maester who has a therapy loop ) really thought the princess was going to give up the crown and her dragon for this guy ? I mean get over yourself. I am sure if Rhaenyra knew how much of a btch this guy was going to turn out , she would not have slept with this guy . What a head ache . Rhaenyra even mentioned to him , " Dont stress papi, we have and understanding and we can continue to do what it do " and for that HE has the balls to UPSET at her ? " Oh i am to be your whore " . They should have had Rhaenyra roll her eyes when he said that . Sir Cole shot straight up to the top of guys i cant wait to see to Die
‘Pull yourself together’ 🤣🤣🤣
Ser Criston Cole reached the highest position a person from House Cole (an extremely minor house from the Stormlands, barely above a commoner) has ever reached. Him failing to keep his oath as a Kingsguard by sleeping with a member of the royalty of all people not only damages his honor and reputation but also damages the reputation of House Cole for generations to come. His honor is all he and his house have. Unlike the great houses, he cannot afford to lose it. So, I can see why Ser Criston is losing his shit over this.
How would Cole be kept alive? Like surely the king would have him executed right after he commited murder?
theres two explanations: first, he, like everyone else, bolted in the confusion while the king etc couldnt see what was going on, and immediately went to kill himself only to be tracked down by alicent. the second is that he was doing his duty after joffrey attacked daemon for kissing rhaenyra (fitting for the knight of kisses) and so cristin jumped on the opportunity. notably daemon was completely absent once the fight broke out.
@@_Azagoth_ There were at least 25 people who saw him beating the shit out of the king consort and his guard? Nah this didn't make sense, I like the show but this was dumb.
This episode was movin fast af, coulda been 2 episodes. But it was still good👍🏿
You guys do the best episode review.
Eating good soup while I watch Nerd Soup 🙏🏼
