Don't get me wrong, I personally despise this character, but isn't that the point?

If they were going for a crazed, unstable fascist, ( which I assume they were) I think they may have actually succeeded.

The way he presented a sense of cool whilst being completely unhinged, the way he asserted control over everyone around him, and the way he veiwed himself and the Hightowers and disliked Targaereans, was genuinely engaging. But that's just my opinion. Perhaps

I would need to hear more varied points of veiw.

What do you guys think?

BTW, I'm talking about the show version of him, not the book version.

Also, I'm not comparing his character to the book version.

I'm asking about the character we saw on-screen

What do you think ?

this scene has bothered me so much ever since i watched it, I’ve also gained resentment towards Rhaenyra afterwards because why?? Why did she do this to herself? To prove what

She has never been officially introduced, she kills Cole, then gets camera time on the finale. Out of nowhere here's this attractive "soldier" right up front sranding next to Daemon with a speaking line. The fact they cast an attractive actress tells me she'll be nude at some point, i assume with Daemon since he's not getting any from Rhaenyra...(im sure the book readers can't wait to tell me who she is) Google search: Black Aly

The funny thing about her bond with her children is that she never particularly desired a family when she was young.

Her children seemed to not only have changed her paradign, but ( in my opinion) contributed to making her

less reckless than she would've been without them.

As compared to people like Alicent, (who would willingly poison her own son,) I imagine Rhaeneyra would've surrendered early if one of her children were put at risk or taken hostage by the greens.

I was particularly touched by how she deigned to protect Rhaena even after realizing she was Sheepstealer's rider.

Do it you cowards.

Poor unsuspecting small folk

(I'm talking about the title of Hand of the King)

And if it did, would it have progressed to this point?
