Im honestly leaning towards it being propaganda by marines to make it look like they were doing the right thing by allying with them.

Shouldn't his hair be changing back to silver by now? Or were the showrunners and writers actually dumb enough to let this be his actual canon hair colour? Surely these experienced adult writers are wise enough to see that the fake Daeron silver hair dye or whatever kid subplot, is stupid otherwise right?

I get it, the season is a poor one. But a lot of Aegon, Gwayne, Ormund stuff been good.

First off, Rhaenyra is proving to be the stupidest adult monarch I can recall ever seeing on any live action show. And it is not like she was set up to be a clown or someone with a mental condition. She is supposed to have a base line of common sense and yet she somehow makes the wrong decisions 95% of the time. How does sending Alicent to Aemond make any sense at all?

Second off, the military men in this season have no clue how to setup a perimeter or scouts or anything of the sort. Corlys meeting a stranger randomly alone and then said stranger had a group of assassins that he apparently did not hear or notice. What tf is Corlys doing?

Rhaena, now is when you finally figured you want to see your sister? Now? That never crossed your mind before? There was no previously better opportunity to even call out to your sister? This is the first chance you got?

Jeyne Arryn, either you know you exist in a verse written by fools, or you have a level of bravery bordering on stupidity. You banished Rhaena away out of your presence, then sent for her, then put your hands on a dragonrider that happens to be the daughter of the king consort, who is also a dragonrider and arguably the most dangerous man currently alive?

Mysaria, I have defended you earlier in the season. But it is clear now the writers have no idea what to do with your character at all.

Alicent, I feel the same way about you now that I felt about Cole. Love the actress Olivia. But get this character off my screen as she only just there to fill up screen time

It does seem like show lore is implying dragonriders can have passengers. This makes Hugh's wife a moron because they could have come up with a way to bring her and the couple family members she is talking about outside of Tumbleton if they had half a brain. Instead she wants to stay to potentially give us more r*** scenes.

Baela and.... Alyn? Weren't they setting up Baela with Addam a week or so ago? What TF is going on???!!!

The one good character that is magically immune to bad writing or pure stupidity all round, is Gwayne all the time and Daemon some of the times.

Honestly tho, every episode I wait for his death. His story is by far the most boring.

She makes a huge deal about this graffiti, when most people can’t even read it. They’re are medieval peasants, most don’t have a need to read.

We saw in this same episode, both the fact that Ulf read to him by somebody else, and that Larys markets his ability to read as a plus when playing the part of a peasant.

And apparently, at this point in time, not even all of the nobles can read within the show universe. Borros Baratheon was depicted in the first season having to have his maester read from him, though I suppose you could alternatively speculate that he was personally dyslexic.

But still, she has a complete overreaction lol

Like she has the entire neighborhood terrorized, when there might be only like three people who know how to read, but reading and writing were taught completely separately back then.

So you can easily deduce who’s the vandal was, unless Corlys painted it on the way out lol

As in it feels like a way too quick escalation in the character for who Rhaenyra has been on the show. They are trying to sell us that Rhaenyra is now seeking vengeance for whoever was riding Sheepstealer but there are so many things wrong with this whole thing that it got me confused af.

1: Rhaenyra did not say initially that Sheepstealer + rider killed Jace. She basically said that a result of the chaos that Sheepstealer + rider caused, Jace lost focus, flew low, then had all those arrows put through him. Plus Rhaenyra was not there so she is going off of second and third hand info.

2: and this is what pisses me off because this is the very important elephant in the room that the writers are not addressing and they're treating us like fools. SHOW RHAENYRA WOULD NOT JUST SENSELESSLY WANT TO KILL HER DAMN STEPDAUGHTAAAAA. They are making it seem like this version of Rhaenyra is some vicious bloodthirsty woman that cannot be reasoned with or anything, so Rhaena has no other option other than to fly away and live in exile. We are skipping a lot of steps here. I don't get why even now it is not being brought up as an option. You claimed a wild dragon, you wanted to help, it went crazy, Jace noticed you were on it and stopped his attack, you fled, and then later on you heard Jace died. Just say that because from your POV that is the truth. This is why George has left the show and doesn't care for it. Sheepstealer should not be there and Rhaena should not be on Sheepstealer. Why? Because it is stupid.

How many people actually believe Sunfyre is really dead? As much as how the show has made a lot of changes, one of the few things they absolutely cannot change involves Sunfyre for potentially season 4. This guy basically brought an end to main dance. So for sure he is not dead. I was on the fence about it before seeing this scene because previously they said he was rotting or something. But actually seeing it now, I even felt he would have opened his eyes right here after hearing Aegon. I think he wakes up either late this season or at some point next season.

Joffrey in Game of Thrones told us already.
