So the king has lost two fingers to rot since we saw him last week. It ain't looking well for him.
He doesn't seem to be the most vigilant, but at least he isn't an a$$hole king when it comes to his kids. I genuinely enjoy seeing him interact with his daughter. He seems like he actually has a heart. After Daenerys, I always expect Targs to be power hungry, so his is a nice change.
Watching him botch that stag killing, though, was like reliving Theon's botched sentencing in Winterfell all over again.
That stag came to Rhaenyra though and not her daddy. I'm sure that is an omen.
It was cool seeing Lady Olenna's people. Looks like they been talking shyt to the crown forever. Apparently they aren't new to dealing directly with the king or Lannisters lol.
Alicent seems to have ways like Margery; I wonder if it is something about the area they all came from cause it's two different houses but they running the same game.
Something about the way Daemon looks, talks and smiles reminds me of Ramsey. He seems crazy but not cruel though.
Watching him run thru those guys on the Stepstones on that one-man mission was like seeing Jon Snow at the BotB, Hardhome and the Wall...must be in their blood to be bait on crazy ass missions like that.
Finally, a black dragon rider was a delight to see.
