[mvp_status]

shyt was fire, I've replayed it too many times now. Syrax screaming, Vermithor then starts roaring and Silverwing joins in the far back ground, I think. The audio for the Dragons has been nothing short of

They've done a great job differentiating the dragons in this show too. With GOT we didn't get to know much about Viserion or Rhaegal (other than their colour, nothing about temperament really) , was basically just Drogon focused.

Vhagar better start doing windsprints from now until the finale, Team Black gonna run her ass thru all types of baseline screens this Sunday

 

[((ReFleXioN)) EteRNaL]

Oh yeah no doubt. Shoutout and RIP to Richard Simmons because Grandmama Vhagar could use a Sweatin' to the Oldies VHS right now

She gonna be working OT.

Is this leak quality worth looking for/watching early?

Nvm I see it’s just clips. Weak ass nikkas might as well just put the episode out; this is the worst of both worlds

From what I saw it was someone record their tv screen with their phone. But this was a leak from HBO so I'm sure someone got an hd rip somewhere.

I know a couple of guys that have watched the leaks. They tell me that I will hate it. Probably because I know how the story is “supposed” to go…like they do…and it went off the rails. Told them I don’t want to know…. I’ll see Sunday.

 

[klientel]

I kinda feel bad for Aemond and Vhagar

I know he’s desperate as hell right now. Him now leaning on Helaena and Dreamfyre had to literally be his last option…he never once brought her crazy ass up all season


He stressin right now. And Vhagar be looking tired as hell every time they show her.

 

[Kenny West]

This is the most authentic acting I’ve seen from Emma Darcy so far in the series. The fear mixed in with delusional belief that she’s the chosen one . I feel like the writers want the audience to love her too much . Which sets the actress up for failure .

I think at the end of the day the writers need to accept that both sides are pieces of shyt . Let the audience decide who to root for . David Chase didn’t want his audience to root for Tony in fact he actively wrote him to be more monstrous as seasons went on but people still rooted for him. When you try to force the audience to sympathize with a piece of shyt it just seems unearned and forced and maybe that’s why Emma’s performance always comes off as stiff wooden and inauthentic .

The whole last act of the episode is who Rhaenyra is and always was .

They're trying to Mary Sue Rhaenyra and ruining plot points in the process.

Lowkey the showrunners are starting to D&D this show with their headcannon and agendas. There is a thinly veiled "Man bad, woman good! We would be in utopia if it weren't for those powerhungry warmongering men!" theme they're pushing hard and they bent over backwards to change Alicent to make her less culpable while trying to make Rhae the good guy protagonist. Most of the Black factions dirt gets put on Daemon and the Green factions dirt on Otto/Aemond/Aegon.

From what I've gathered from the books The Dance of Dragons is essentially a tragedy of everyone in house Targ crashing out. Once the Rhae's kid dies & Alicent's grandkid dies both sides become coldhearted and vengeful . Rhae becomes cruel and Alicent becomes bitter & fiercely protective of her remaining kids like a less egotistical Cersei.

However in this version Rhae shows no desire for vengeance and frames her part in this war as "trying to bring peace to the realm", she spends 1 episode mourning then immediately sneaks into Kings Landing somehow to broker peace. Every other council scene just keeps beating the drum of the men being unfair to her.

Alicent's changes are worse. She is one of the main schemers for getting Aegon on the throne in the book, now they made it all Otto's idea and Alicent was only on board due to a tragic misunderstanding Now that the story was changed to make her seem pure, they had to disassociate Alicent from her children who are put in the role of antagonists to Rhae, destroying her good/fierce mother characterization. They made her cold to Aegon's depression after losing his grandchild, fearing Aemond while having no way to reign him in cause misogy. Then decision to have her fukking Cole while her grandchild is murdered. They wrote her into a corner so bad the bytch has done nothing all season but pout about the men not listening to her.

I would not be surprised at all to learn that the showrunners are former Disney nikkas or something. They did a remarkable job at turning a interesting conflict full of grey morality into something black & white to a corny degree
