In general, this show is what happens when you try to write historical drama set in a fantasy world, but all you know about the history of middle ages is what you read in Shakespeare’s historical plays 30 years ago and all you remember is that a lot of people died there, but not why they died or any of the

Larys C.K.

Ser Incelot is still mad cause a girl dumped him like 20 years ago.

The scene was dumb for another reason: Otto says “The doors stay closed until we’re done here!” and then they just let Westerling waltz out because, I guess, he has a sword and they were too dumb to make sure they only had loyal members of the Kingsguard in the room.

Mercy? She murdered a bunch of innocent bystanders by crushing them to death with stone debris.  What an excellent character moment, yes yes.

Yep. At this point I’m only watching for Emma D’Arcy and Matt Smith. As the reviewer pointed out, the only time there’s any energy to this show is when they’re on screen. Idk if it’s miscasting or direction or what but when I’m watching say Otto Hightower I find myself thinking how much better Hugh Dancy would have

The show really seems to want us to think he’s a sicko because he’s disabled and a foot fetishist, not because he’s a family-incinerating pyromaniac mass murderer.

>>>>”I haven’t seen this brought up before, so now’s as good a time as any: how do Viserys and Alicent have such shit children? Not Helaena, she’s fine, but really now, Aegon and Aemond are almost cartoonishly abhorrent. Where does it come from?”

The show seems to be implying that the kids spent a lot of quality time with Ser Criston Cole, which admittedly would fuck up almost anyone.

No, I think she’s fine. The fire in the brothel was very clearly CGI, so there were likely few if any injuries.

Others have already covered the episode’s usual bizarre narrative and character choices: I’ll just say that I think this show’s storytelling mostly works except it keeps tripping over its own feet (when it’s not fetishizing them) in ways that undercut whatever they’re trying to do. I’m fine with sometimes throwing

Hey, there’s still one more episode left for them to continue to make baffling decisions.

Tom Glynn-Carney looks a hell of a lot like Evan Peters is my biggest take from this episode.

A thoroughly licked Otto tries to play dear old dad, telling his daughter that she looks like her mother in certain lights.

The episode ends with Rhaenys killing dozens of innocent people

Things I learned this week:

My friends and I died laughing at that part.  It was so absurd.

After giving it much thought, I’ve come to the conclusion that Ser Criston might have an anger issue.

Yeah, but a DRAGON BLEW THROUGH THE FLOOR DUDE EPICCCCCCCCC

Who needs character development, amirite?

I liked it. A good ending I felt. And the Harfoots were actually fun to watch in this one (less doom and gloom and boredom when on them please)!
