Whoa... it’s almost like the thing Mysaria said was then reinforced by Rhaenys‘ actions. I wish this show wasn’t soooo subtle otherwise this would all be clear!

I’ve enjoyed it.

I imagine asking questions like that would get you murdered by Criston Cole 

Larys and Alicent or The A-Train and Popclaw.

The coronation scene was the best of the season so far.

Things I learned this week:

I was worried about Alicent’s characterization (particularly with episode 7), but I have to say I am pleased with what the writer’s and/or Olivia Cooke have done with her. I’m not saying I think she’s right/justified/blameless, but one thing that has to be said is that she isn’t a flat, one-note villain. That…

Eve Best is such a wonderful actress and while she’s been great all season, I’ve been praying for her to have a pre-Rook’s Rest badass moment and BAM there it was.

It seems like elevated horror is just horror with arthouse pretensions.

I feel for Paddy. I don’t want to see myself on video, nor hear my own voice.

First of all, I believe everyone who has a story to tell. These stories have been circulating for years.

Yeah, Aemond may still be a little peeved at the kids who cut out his fucking eyeball.

I, also, must regretfully state that I will never direct a Star Wars or MCU movie. 

Nerds?

They’re super-book purists, so it’s not surprising.

Well, but both the Targaryens and the Velaryons have the silver hair! That’s the trait that makes both families stand out in Westeros, and that’s the reason they’re both always talking about intermarrying to preserve their pure Valyrian blood. It’s kind of great how within the world of House of the Dragon, nobody…

Reminder, these aren’t just random bloggers. These are Martin’s personal fact checkers. They see more of his work in progress than his editors and as Martin has gotten and gets older have placed themselves in a position to shape Martin’s work to their whims since he goes to them to keep the continuity straight as he…
