They couldn’t have cleaned up the blood before doing the ceremony?

I also found it funny they bothered to stop everyone fighting but the person who began it and murdered someone… to the point they just let him walk away. A bit strange.

The contrast between Bobby B yelling at the Cleganes at the tourney and King T having no clue what is happening is funny, too.

Viserys is a Failking whose leadership technique can be best described as "wait around doing nothing and then eventually make the wrong decision", and the handling of the incident was definitely in character for him.

I'm pretty sure he just had a stroke so he actually had no clue what was happening.

It just felt clunky to show literally zero consequences for that action, even if the consequences are just someone saying "Yo, what the gently caress".

There was undoubtably some confusion, as the fight happened in the middle of a crowd. Maybe the guards thought what his name, Laenor’s lover, had attacked Rhaenyra?

I dunno.

Also holy smokes the costuming in this show is insanely good. I'm almost watching and admiring the outfits more than listening to the dialogue.

It's such a weird but good choice to have Matt Daemon just not say anything and be almost entirely physical? It's honestly great.

Man Fabien acted the gently caress out of his scene on the boat. Just a torrent of desperation and fear that you don't expect from the quiet badass knight.

I love that right up to the end there Rhaenyra was still tempting Daemon by implying she's game if he thinks he can pull off kidnapping her. She really is chaotic and wild like her uncle.

She probably feels a bit betrayed, although it’s not like Rhaenyra lied to her. I think she was spooked by her dad’s parting words.

The inevitable succession may result in her children being killed. Plus her closest ally (dad) was just removed from power.

I think that while Rhaenyra didn't technically lie to her about loving her uncle, she wasn't fully honest about what happened that night and Queen Alicent probably sees Rhaenyra's attempts to hide her shenanigans as the thing that got her father shitcanned, fair or not. That combined with her being completely isolated and knowing her kids are going to be pitted against Rhaenyra, who she can't trust anymore, made everything come to a head for her.

royce guy confronts matt daemon over dead wife, calls it suspicious, makes an outright accusation

daemon mentions inheritance and that royce is now his vassal

royce is blindsided and sits down


if he's totally unaware of inheritance law, why does he find the death suspicious?? this is very stupid and seems like something that could have been written more skillfully

yeah agreed. that was pretty dumb. it’s continually a thing in this show that inheritance is at the front of people’s minds. this scene “just sort of forgets” that

My best guess.

He didn't expect Daemon to show up. Once he did, he goes up in anger to basically accuse Daemon and is shut down by the fact that yes, h did just slander the king's brother in front of the king.

But instead of getting substantively offended (like a normal person would if you accused them of murdering their wife) Daemon coldly just points out "Oh yeah, by the way, I get all her stuff."

It isn't that he doesn't know this, it is that he's just sort of dumbstruck by the sheer balls of the rear end in a top hat. Like if you're talking to a guy about how you think he murdered his wife and he starts talking to you about how he expects the life insurance money on friday.

Daemon has tried to marry at least two other people and can’t stop bringing up the fact that Aegon had multiple wives to anyone who will listen, he has other motives besides inheritance.

yeah, i got the impression that Daemon has mostly ignored his wife and that whole region. the cousin might have not expected him to bother with any of it

The worst tv trope of all time is "person somehow figures out an important secret through telepathy and is also 100% certain their telepathy is correct" and they went with it with this episode. Great episode other than that, but man I really hate that poo poo.
