I knew that was coming but I wasn't ready for it. Rhaenys will definitely be missed, she's the only decent counsel Rhaenyra had. And she was a badass. Poor little Sunfyre screaming as he got tore up really broke my heart, too. That was an excellent, if sad, episode.

Poor little Sunfyre screaming as he got tore up really broke my heart, too. That was an excellent, if sad, episode. I didn't even watch it last night because I wanted to delay seeing it happen ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) Knowing what was coming doesn't make it easier. Rhaenys' death is one of the ones I was dreading the most. I really do wish she had let them all have it last season when she retrieved Meleys from the dragon pit. It would have been so much simpler!
Really, there's only one upcoming death that I'm in denial about and actually wishing they'd change from the books....or that they're really going to drag things out and it won't happen for many seasons.
I don't think Fabien Frankel deserves any of the online hate he gets, but MAN is Ser Criston The Worst.
It was fun to see Milly Alcock back as Rhaenyra for a few scenes, but it really does show how she really could not have played the adult Rhaenyra though. She looks SO young.
I don't think Aemond would have made a better king, but I think he would have been more fun to watch.

Seasmoke wasn't having it this episode. ![:lol](//storage.proboards.com/6943657/images/kZvKcZukVaJcAqJidzda.gif) That poor guy. I don't remember that Rhaenyra and Mysaria scene in the books, but it makes sense. That was Addam on Seasmoke at the end, wasn't it? That actor reminds me so much of the one guy from Milli Vanilli. ![:lol](//storage.proboards.com/6943657/images/kZvKcZukVaJcAqJidzda.gif)

I love that we're getting a new dragon rider. That sequence where Seasmoke was chasing him and then that total jump scare had me on the edge of my seat!
I loved that scene with Rhaenyra and Mysaria. I think Emma just has chemistry with everyone. It makes sense that Rhaenyra would be attracted to someone she trusts. I wonder how Daemon would/will feel.
I really do need to finish that book! It seems to have gotten lost in the piles of books in my living room. I borrowed the audiobook, but it just didn't work for me. I think I need to read it and not listen to it. I know the bare bones outline of what happens and I'm truly hoping that either some of the plot points change or they take a VERY long time to get to them. It feels like there won't be anyone left!
Shades of GOT when the crowd turned on Joffrey, with Sansa running from the crowd, in that scene with Helaena and Alicent running away.
I think Alicent is finally understanding that she raised a monster. I don't necessarily like Aemond, but I love watching him. He just looks exactly like that type of character should look.

OMG, what an episode! I've watched it twice and am still not over it! That final shot with Rhaenyra and the dragons was incredible. Oh, and the shot of her standing in front of Vermithor = *chef's kiss* perfection.
This show loves to give and then take away, so I know this isn't going to last, but I enjoyed Team Black getting a few wins this time.

That shot at the end was fantastic. All the dragon scenes were! Rhaenrya bringing the group to meet Vermithor cracked me up. Here's a nasty SOB we call the Bronze Fury, just a bit smaller than Vhagar but just as mean. Good luck, y'all! as she walks off to let them all get roasted. ![:lol](//storage.proboards.com/6943657/images/kZvKcZukVaJcAqJidzda.gif) I wonder why Rhaena never tried to claim the very cute (and sweeter tempered) Silverwing? She looked just like I pictured her. I want more episodes!

Maybe season one felt longer because it covered such a long period of time.
I'm assuming that Rhaena will claim the wild dragon.
It was so great to see Paddy Considine back for one episode as Viserys. I cannot believe he didn't get awards attention. He deserved at least an Emmy nod. He posted to his IG about coming back to the show. I checked out his IG and found that he's in a band. Now I'm obsessed. He's shockingly hot (vs. Viserys, I mean).
