It is always nice when a wild plan works out.
Maybe you could, actually.
Ive never planned a dragon-based war.
The important thing this does is set the stage for a potentially wild season finale next week.
Weve got Aemond and Vhagar and a massive army on one side.
I kind of hope he doesnt.
The real question is whether were looking at dragons or diplomacy to end the season.
In real life, I would pray for peace.
Or at least for this episode.
I needed this with Jacaerys becoming a little brat in the back half of the season.
Lets give out some points.
.Rhaenyra Targaryen: 8 points
.
Really just a terrific showing by Rhaenyra in this episode.
Thats not her fault, though.
Perhaps Im being unfair.
I suspect shes happy enough with her dragonriders that she wont quibble over two points.
.Alicent Hightower: 6 points
I know.
Didnt that feel good?
I hope the next episode opens with her and Ser Rickard roasting marshmallows.
I mean, sure.
Am I willing to entertain that argument for even one single second from any of you today?
You know I did.
More than anything in the whole world.
(4) If No.
(5) Ulf looks exactly how happy one should look while riding a dragon for the first time.
I hate it as much as you do.
Having a dragon made him feel special.
But now other people with less-than-straight paths to the crown have dragons, too.
ON THE OTHER HAND: Hes been a real snot lately, and its all been quite disappointing.
.Daemon Targaryen: 0 points
THERAPIST: How are the visions?
DAEMON: Only one this week.
THERAPIST: Should I ask?
THERAPIST: Oh, hey.
THERAPIST: … in the vision?
DAEMON: No, that was real.
She is a powerful adversary on this show, but she would be adevastatingnemesis to have in high school.
you could see it in the eyes.
Otherwise, like, what are we doing here?
She needs … something.
Otherwise, shell be heading off to the woods to float in that lake with Alicent.
.Corlys Velaryon: 5 points
Hes … trying.
With Addam and Alyn.
A fishing montage is a necessity here.
.Alyn: 8 points
I respect Alyn so much.
His brother just hopped on a dragon and flew off with the queen.
And how does Alyn respond?
I just want to sail on my boat.
He might be the smartest man in the realm.
.Jasper: 4 points
Okay, Larys, listen to this.
Mysaria would eat this man for lunch.
We must protect him.
