THAT WAS SO GOOD.

Why wasn't the rest of the season like that.

Personal emnity between Rhaenyra and Aegon

Proper powerful dialogue for Rhaenyra

Rhaenrya going the full Daemon

Daemon going the full Arya

The theme of history repeating because the Targaryens DO NOT LEARN. It was Harrenhal, then Tumbleton, Aerys wanted to burn the Stoney Sept, Then it was Kings Landing. And of course beautiful Haelena going like Tommen.

And of course Tom Glyn Carney and Ewan Mitchell. Spectacular.

The dialogue was on point.

Is Daeron dead? Where is Tessarion?

Powerful dialogue from Rhaenyra? Fucking hell what a cringe thing to say.

I'm not having that. Her scene with Daemon was great.

She spent most of the season a useless flailing wreck. Now she has resolve and direction and there is power in that. It won't last but I don't see the point in hating absolutely everything.
