Points will be awarded for any or no reason.
Its more whispering than talking, seeing as one of them is undercover and holding a knife.
But still, this counts as progress.
Lets tally up some scores.
.Rhaenyra Targaryen: 4 points
.
Not a long-developing scheme.
Just an old man telling a story for the 800th time and someone interpreting it wrong.
I doubt this makes Rhaenyra feel any better about it.
It probably makes her feel worse, actually.
I would be furious about this forever.
.Alicent Hightower: 4 points
We could go a lot of ways with this section.
We could discuss Alicent also having a council filled with warmongering goofs.
We could discuss the raven she sent to Rhaenyra.
We could, as always, discuss her idiot sons and boyfriend bumbling about the kingdom.
But I want to talk about security.
This is … not ideal.
But well get to Criston soon enough.
.Daemon Targaryen: 0 points
Hey, whats Daemon up to?
He skips what looks like a lovely meal because he thinks someone might want to poison him.
Other than that, doing great.
That would have been thrilling.
I would have enjoyed that.
.Larys Strong: 5 points
AEGON: I am going to war on my dragon!
LARYS: Actually, everyone thinks doing this makes you weak.
They talk about it a lot.
They think youre a stupid little baby.
AEGON: I have decided to stay.
LARYS: As you wish, Your Grace.
You cannot make me feel bad for him!
Especially not in an episode where he is rude to Sylvi.
I know hes a very broken little boy!
Jesus Christ, Aemond, come on!
I know how I can fix this …
.Sylvi: 10 points
There.
No one would have known.
She could have flown home and been like Nope, never saw them.
I would have cheered out loud.
Youve seen it a hundred times.
And she immediately uses the position to help Rhaenyra sneak into town to get next to Alicent.
Say what you will about Mysaria, but the woman is efficient.
Also, do not say anything bad about her.
I will get angry.
She might be my favorite character on the show now.
I wish podcasts existed in theHOTDuniverse so she could do one that reveals everything she knows about everyone.
Mysaria would be a tremendous influencer.
Its a fun little game for me.
Im leaning toward Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Both worth thinking about.
.Jacaerys Velaryon: 8 points
I want to ruffle that beautiful head of hair so bad.
My name is Lexhaedryn the Benevolent and this is my colleague Wally.
Was it when he made that smug (and deserved) face at Criston?
Was it when he started talking about taking a night off to get drunk with his buddies?
Was it when you learned his name is Gwayne?
I am thrilled to have him on this show.
.Simon Strong: 8 points
Simon is not impressed with Daemon.
He just wants to eat dinner.
I respect this man very much.
Either way, I have awarded the dog an additional five points for the confusion.
I think thats the right thing to do.
