Are they in the show though? I think we've only seen leanor, his sister and the sea snakes brother, but I might be mistaken.
They only show up in the book after Rhaenys dies, since they are secret b*stards of Corlys. They aren't even born yet in the time frame the show is at right now. They are teens during the Dance.

Thanks, it's been while since I read the book, I know the main outlines of the story but timelines and such I can't remember

Ser Criston beating a nobleman to death and assaulting Ser Laenor Velaryon during a feast in celebration of the princess’s wedding and no one calling for his imprisonment or death doesn’t make much sense to me.
It doesn't make sense. He should have been arrested immediately.

I'm guessing they are just going to saw Alicent pushed to have him pardoned, and the crown probably paid the Lonmouths restitution. That's about all they could do, but even then it's a stretch that Alicent would go that far out of the limb for him, even if she just wants to use him.

Cole should have a permanent black mark against him and should be looked at as a pariah on the kingsguard.

was waiting to see how yall were gonna take laenor being a faq :mjlol:

if we got black dragonriders/valyrians and all we gotta do is have one dl scene from a nikka then i'll take it.
Laenor and his sister should be dead by episode eight so we don't have worry about either of them any more @RickyGQ

Probably didn’t have the time or budget to do the tournament but you’re right. Didn’t like that change

how did this play out in the book?

there might still be a tournament…didn’t the king say in the show there was supposed to be one a week after the ceremony?

Pretty much the same way Cole fought Daemon except this time he kills him by cracking his skill through his helmet. There are often fatalities in the tourney but Cole clearly had a motive.


In the show it just looks like cold blooded murder, he also struck Laenor, who is royalty. He would be out to death via torture almost immediately.

The show is fast-forwarding a decade

Reading up on Maegor the Cruel

Jesus Christ :damn:
I would love to see a trial by seven combat, I can't wait for an Dunk and egg adaptation to see one. They need to fit one here.

Tower of joy closet thing we got but that was 8 on 2, ( 8 on 3 in the books)

Beyond the wall was 5 cast members and two redshirts

Like Daemon said. Viserys’ word is law. He’s the dragon.

He can pardon him. And it’s more than Alicent just getting Cristin on her side, it’s stealing something from her rival. Which is more symbolic and dangerous. That now that she is playing the game, not only does she have her support but she can steal hers.

Viserys is so blinded by the need to keep peace, he let Daemon in after he banished him just to not make a scene so I can see how pardoning his knight would fall under that.

So Cal
i don't think so. it was clear and obvious he killed that bytch in the book. he seemed to care for laena. enough to put two kids in her.

he aint fukk with rhea AT ALL.
3. That last kid didn't make it and she didn't recover from the birth. I would be kinda be annoyed if they changed it to him killing her.
