#cant wait for Harrenhall

[mailka]

Ooooh, Aemond is so smart, he put Tyland (the biggest ally of the greens, twin brother of the Lord Paramount who so far has been the only one to amass the army in Aegon's name pretty much for free and who holds the quarter of the crown treasury), Larys (the Master of Whisperers, who not only gathers Intel of the enemy but also has pretty much the full control of the castle's household) and Alicent (his mother who genuinely wants him alive actually and is probably the only one of like 3 people in the world to want that) in their places! He knows how to wage war, he read so many books! (the plan he created relies on his opponent being dumb, deaf and blind to not notice the biggest dragon in the world from above and not having enough skill to damage/kill Vhagar, he sends Cole, one of the very few people who knows battle and can command people, to Harrenhall where Daemon and Caraxes have been chilling for weeks along with some sort of an army) He's gonna be sooooo successful, no way anything will go wrong (his elder brother who is the rightful king (and who Aemond tried to kill) is still alive and kicking and remembers what happened and now has the support of the aformentioned Master of Whisperers, Rhaenyra training the dragonseeds, his own obsession with Daemon). Such an alpha-male 1000/10.

My Thoughts about House of the Dragon 2x02

Poor Haelena. No one cares about her or is with her. They only care about the dead baby. She is a victim too.

Otto taking advantage of a dead child is just cruel. He is only about propaganda against Rhaenyra.

Alicent asking Haelena if she has seen her with cole was just, ist that your only concern right now? Your daughter has seen her child being murdered.

The procession was a bit much for my opinion. Haelena having a panic attack. She deserves better.

The whole Rhaenyra saying to Daemon that she cant trust him and never has is stupid. Why did she marry him then? She said herself that her claim is stronger with him and now it's suddenly not? I 'm sorry but i m on Daemons side in this. To be clear i dont support the dead of the child. But Daemon has never lied to her why would he now? I dont know what Rhaenyras goal is she has not taken action so far and voiced it. And tahat is getting on my nerves. She is sitting the whole episode on Dragonstone and does nothing significant. Sending Baela instead of Jace to patrol Kings Landing i have a bad feeling.

That Daemon left after this i can understand. It was time that he got out of there. He should have been in Harrenhall since ep 10. She is triving her strongest ally away. In the book most of the people stood behind her because of Daemon. And here they argue about Viserys. The hard truth is that Viserys named Rhaenyra heir to get rid of Daemon. He is right. She wasnt named because she was better suited for the job she was 14 at the time. And he kept her because he was feeling guilty because of what he did to her mother.

Daemons flight off in the sunset was beautiful filmed. But he could have said something to Baela.

Criston Cole is official the worst character in the whole series and that includes thrones to me. He should chocke when he speaks words like honor and dignity. And now he has all the power in hands. Cant wait to see it backfire.

Otto was always a character that i despised from the very beginning. I have always thought that i would enjoy it when he gets dismissed as hand. But he was actully very reasonable in that scene. I must give it to him that he always tried to avoid blodshed. Rhys Ifans is a very talented actor. His little laugh when Aegon said that that his father wanted him to be heir.

The Erryk Arryk scene was very sad. No wonder they sent Daemon away so quickly. If he had been there it wouldnt have happened. They missed the opurtunity for a great book quote here.

"Six Men or sixty he is still Daemon Targaryen"

I'm very tired of Alicent fucking Chole.

Oh and Rhaenys should get more scenes next episode. Don't waste her like that.

The episode felt quite boring to me. Im quite disappointed. I think it was a mistake that Miguel Sapochnik got fired. The writing is not good.

Rhaenyras chamber is a waste of space and money. The room with the dragon on the wall was a beautiful bedroom. They should have kept it. I dont reconise Dragonstone anymore. I understand the libary set but not Rhaenyras bedroom.

I mean, we are told they they ALL surrender inmediatly, that harrenhall was on change of some old strong guy (alys was a fucking bastard and an unmarried wet nurse, she wasnt ruling shit) and that he surrender inmediatly bc his young sons and grandkids and aemond decided to kill them anyways bc they had previous surrender the castle to daemon for the same reasons (avoid being killed, which daemon respected and let them live) and aemond got so mad he even killed the toddlers.

We are also told that aemond was a crazy madman that liked go burning camps of random peasants just for shits and giggles. Worse, peasants from the riverlands, that were neutral in the war (I cant wait until people have to explain how this poor little mew mew isnt the same as crazy daenerys of s8) so logical guy isnt how I would describe him.

At the end of the day, its cool to like villians, I dont care for that. But I doubt aly/aemond was an actual love story, unless alys was power hungry and hated her birth family and wanted the lands (perhaps they mistreat her for being a bastard??)

C'mon. We need more Aemond x Alys fics. Unlike the Helaemond shipp, this one is real. What can be cooler than a couple formed by a psychopath with an eye-patch and a bastard witch?

You fic writers have some work to do.
