Oh and that one poster from the Dexter thread There have definitely been some great moments in TV IV over the years. Hopefully many more are to come in HoTD. i say swears online posted:Rhaenyra: so the throne is mine but I don't care about making friends or allies and foreseeing long-term consequences elude me At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.

Emily Carey was truly great as Alicent. You could practically feel her "trapped and helplessly alone" vibe every time she was on screen. I'm sad to see her and Milly Alcock depart.

Viserys: Never had to knock on wood, but I know someone who has, which makes me wonder if I could. It makes me wonder if... Lyonel Strong: I never had to knock on wood, and I'm glad I haven't yet. Because I'm sure it isn't good. That's the impression that I get. As we get closer to the civil war, the story gets more interesting, but this episode felt like it covered a lot of well-trod ground: Viserys is sick and seems to die at the end of every scene, Daemon is an rear end in a top hat, Rhaenya is too trusting, etc. Alicent comes into her own as the queen but the aforementioned clunky exposition robbed it of any weight. Cole snapping to me made zero sense and wasn't believable, but that's because they went for the "unexpected" choice when teasing the obligatory wedding violence. It would have been cool if the show had given some more personality to Lyonel Strong since so many people are like, "Who is he, again?" I look forward to the time jump to the point where the series probably should have started.

PostNouveau posted:How on earth does Criston Cole stick around after that? I don't mean in the immediate aftermath, obviously the show just gave him a free murder in front of everyone pass. How does he stay at the Red Keep with Laenor around? I mean this is super easy so long as they go with it "the man tried to kill ____ and this noble Kingsguard stopped him!" I love how Matt Smith can steal a scene so effectively with so little dialogue, but maybe it's the show as well. Allicent's entrance was equally fantastic without any dialogue. The show knows when to show and not tell, which is a drat rare thing these days.

So, no, it wasn't only you that saw a lot of gay angst between them.

So, no, it wasn't only you that saw a lot of gay angst between them. Yeah, I've a friend who's been reading Rhaenyra as potentially trans / genderqueer, partly influenced by Emma D'arcy's casting. Either way, I've been reading this show through a feminist/queer lens for the most part. If they just crowned Rhaenyra king and Allicent married her as queen, then quite a lot of the brewing conflict could probably be sorted.

Even without the relationship aspect Alicent was all but forced to be in a life that's privileged in a lot of ways but gave her no freedom, while seeing her former best friend complain she can't do whatever she wants even when her dad gives her permission to pick any husband she wanted, while breaking a long standing tradition to make her his heir and future queen.

I’ve been doing some nerd reading on matrilineal societies in the pre-classical Mediterranean world (pre Bronze Age collapse, basically), and inheritance through the mother just makes more sense, especially in terms of agriculture holdings. Those societies also were matrilocal, meaning the husband would leave his mother’s home and go live with the family of his wife. If marriages were dissolved, a woman was never without a home for herself and her children. Avuncular inheritance is also prevalent in these societies, the mother’s brothers leaving their inheritance to their nephews. Interesting poo poo.

Xiahou Dun posted:The dress line was pretty bad, yeah. I loved the entire rest of that scene, and I totally understand needing to explain the color, but ooof that line just clunked. I feel bad for the actors who had to come up with some motivation for that because, seriously, what the gently caress would the characters be trying to accomplish with that exchange. They think the viewers are super dumb. And in general they’re probably right.

It's true, I have no idea what is going on, I'm just waiting for all the pretty people to murder each other. So the latest episode was great, A+. Except for king Goon, he's not pretty but I empathize with him having no idea what's going on either.

I loved the music cue the feature prominently when the dress debuts. Actually, I think it might be the debut of that musical theme as well, I can't remember noticing it before. The music really sells it as this big moment, you just know that turning up at someone else's wedding in a big showy dress and doing the slow walk while stunting on the King is a big loving deal, but the music sells it as the debut of some kind of big war. The show's saying that this is the bit conflict going forward.
