they did throw in that line about how she wanted "to die a dragonrider's death" earlier.
i mean, besides the oncoming dragon fight, do dragonriders fight other dragons? or do they just do dragon divebombs and burn shit and fly away? so a dragonriders death would be to be shot down by many arrows and dying in the sea, not some weird ass super trauma seppuku, hell the dragon is like "wtf bitch, i'm bonded to you!!!"

It's clear what they were going with there. It was 100% babies bad, get abortions.
You might think I am nuts saying that but they have admitted it in interviews.
These stupid baby fuckers can't keep their shitty ass politics out of acting and writing.

if you mean does a rider and dragon fight just a dragon, like other stories where they have lances and spears. don't think so

but there are plenty of rider/dragon vs rider/dragon

dragon riders on the show still look bad to me, don't know how they are going to pull off some of the fights

it makes sense when like 50-60% of viewers at this point have to be single men and women who can't form a relationship to save their life, for those kind of people sending a message of "children ain't shit, do what you want" resonates strong I imagine. Larys gives a similar speech at the end, although he takes 2 minutes to say what Aemon in GoT said in one single line, "love is the death of duty".

book is a fast read and i'd recommend, i started last week and halfway thru already. it reads like a history book, no POVs or anything so very light reading.

what i expect to look like watching the rest of the season's slop:

Yet another episode of character assassination and major changes to characters, story, and plot. Like 3 minutes of this whole episode actually happens in the book. Now Alicent is made to be the bad guy, criston cole is made to be a dickhead. Clearly setting up non-binary genderfluid owlkin to be hero of this story, look at how stunning and brave she is marching to present her child moments after giving birth.

really thought this was posted here,

Olivia Cooke couldn’t stomach even pretending to be a Trump supporter.

The “House of the Dragon” actress, who took over the role of Alicent Hightower from Emily Carey due to a series time jump, revealed that co-showrunners Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan Condal advised her to find inspiration from the disgraced former president. The series creators told Cooke to view the character Queen Alicent like a “woman for Trump.”

“I just didn’t want to give them any more mental real estate than they already had,” Cooke told Entertainment Weekly about calling back to the Trump family. “So I tried to find a different route into her, but I could see what they were saying with this complete indoctrination and denial of her own autonomy and rights. I just couldn’t be asked to go down that road.”

Cooke noted that Alicent has been “bittered and twisted over time” due to her prescribed gender role.

“Alicent has been completely bred to breed, and to breed powerful men. That’s her only function in this life,” Cooke said. “She can tell herself that she’s going to sway and nurture and persuade in a very womanly, feminine way, but it’s all fucking bullshit. Unless you’re fighting the men, you’ll never be heard. It’s learning to live within this straightjacket of oppression. How do I move inch by inch every single day to loosen the straps?”

Yet some soyfags here think it is just us in a cult saying this shit when they flat out say it themselves.
Keep salting soyfags, it'll make slipping that noose on people even easier.

someone should make a point that they are running through black actors/actresses like they were dispensible, that black girl that self immolated had 3 blacks portray her, and now shes bbq

and imo the whole point of the blacks is so that you can clearly see that downs girls is shacking up w/ the knight cuz she hates fags too

Er... they aged up 4 characters during the timeskip... you think that was to cover up sacking a actress not being woke enough!?

Anyway, stop reading the shitty options of dumbass actors, the show is getting pretty good now.

the show cast the current cast first - old ugly non binary rhaeny, hot milf alicent, random redshirt blacks, etc - then went back and found younger actors who looked sorta like them.

it would be cool to have flashbacks to fill in these missing massive gaps and see how exactly Ser Christ the Gay Slayer got pardoned for his righteousness and became the right dildo of the Queen or how Ser Boner Harwin showed Rhaeny his super, super strong seed or how Daemon cured his erectile dysfunction with Pentos viagra but I doubt we're seeing the youngsters ever again :(

Sad part is they actually made old Rhamy more attractive than the actor usually is.

Havent watched this show. Is it GoT reimagined by Jane Austen? Is there a good story here or is it buried in Girls Get It Done?

There's like 1 good episode. It's mostly inner family succession politics with no civil war to speak of so far

serviceable for superfans of GoT. If you liked the worst of GoT or some of the boring filler episodes.

it did it's job to bring back interest in the setting. Hopes are the future spinoff shows will be of a better quality writing wise.
