Let me be clear i am NOT defending anything she did lol. But purely from a fashion standpoint this woman ate every single scene. The outfits, the hairstyles, the jewelry... everything was always perfectly put together. Her style evolved with her character too, which made it even better. You could literally feel her power growing just by looking at what she was wearing.

Early Tyrion is sharp, unpredictable, and politically dangerous. Later seasons feel like he loses that edge and becomes more of a commentary device than an active player. His wit is still there, but the strategic depth fades. It’s like the show didn’t know what to do with him after he stopped being in constant survival mode.

...after Jon tried to spare her from hearing what Ramsay would do to her, I gave her kudos. Reading the rest of letter aloud was like she (figuratively) had some thick-ass armor on. She read it aloud with zero hesitation. She'd come a long way since season 1 - she'd really grown up.

I haven’t been a fan of season being reduced to 6 or 8 episodes but this is ridiculous.

Viserys gets memed on a lot for obvious reasons, but I’ve always wondered how bad of a king he actually would’ve been if he successfully returned to Westeros.

Let’s say Khal Drogo actually agrees to cross the Narrow Sea with the full khalasar. Or maybe Viserys somehow finds another army. Or maybe those people who "drink secret toasts to your health” claim was actually true and tons of Targaryen loyalists rally to him once he lands.

He’s clearly unstable, entitled, paranoid, and obsessed with respect. But at the same time, the guy spent his entire childhood watching his family dynasty collapse, living homeless in exile, and growing up believing the throne was stolen from him. He’s basically a walking pile of trauma and delusions about destiny.

How terrible of a king would Viserys realistically be? Would he be worse than Joffrey?

Could Viserys have functioned as a decent king with strong advisors keeping him in check? Or was he doomed to become another Mad King no matter what?

He could have stayed in the cut and let his homies win it for him but he had to expose himself to kill Bran himself?

The idea that Daenerys randomly turned evil ignores a lot of earlier moments. From crucifying rulers to burning enemies alive, the pattern was already there. The difference at King’s Landing is scale, not personality shift. The show didn’t break her character, it just stopped holding back the consequences of it. People just didn’t want to see it until it was too late.
