House of the Dragon - Eps 7 & 8 Review

And there it is

The ever-thickening plot has begun its churn as the finale is in sight, all our backstory has built to this

The Tipping Point

Spoilers for the Episodes

Okay so, I loved episode 8, not so much episode 7. I think the reason is because of the character frustrations and drama, both have their flaws but 7 was a lot more glaring.

I think I've waited long enough to stop dancing around it all but: I am not on Rhaenyra's side. It's not to say I'm on Alicent's side either, but I think many understate or turn a blind eye to her manipulative and playing victim all the time. I'm sorry but this is the woman who on her uncle's wife's funeral went up to him and essentially pointed out that she's D2F, and then Fucked him, then planned the fake murder of her husband - whose whole speech about wanting to be a father falls flat given that he took the immediate out - and then married said uncle all in one episode, not to mention the several times she acts like her sons are no bastards calling it 'vile accusations' as she hides behind the authority of her father, even when he's on his deathbed she begs him to take her side as if that's not what he's always done. Also the 'we tried' thing is laughable, compared to Alicent who had to squeeze out kids from age 15/16 onwards as Vicerys' infection grew more pus-filled and septic, I doubt there was any 'joy' in her bedding either and yet she still managed 3 children. It's scummy of her to try and manipulate her father too, naming her incest babies after him and his son for flattery then bargaining with Rhaenys, all while calling the Hightowers 'vipers' when they were the ones who ran away from King's Landing because of the very true rumors about them. And overall they get away with it again, because Luke does become Lord of Driftmark, because Rhaenys decides to take Rhaenyra's deal for some reason even though she had the floor to do her planned action of having Driftmark go through Laena's children. It just annoys me that people cheer in support of Rhaenyra's lies and not Alicent's truth.

Daemon meanwhile still is a villain to me, he softened a bit in episode 8 but frankly I never buy Daemon's performances (Daemon being optimal, Matt Smith is acting great). I see through the deceit and his incessant desire to create or be the center of drama, and I don't give it a pass because I don't lust after him. Throwing away his brother's latest olive branch just so he could dramatically storm off for Rhaenyra to follow him, killing an innocent guard to fake Laenor's death, accusing Alicent of foul play with the Milk of the Poppy (which had been used on Ned to relieve pain in GOT so it isn't foul play, just that medicine is still Medieval and the Maesters - despite being the top physicians of Westeros - are set in their methods), it's all just plays, and he's only really content when he gets everything he wants: such as egging Vaemond to give him a reason to kill him - again with true accusations.

I am slightly annoyed by the timeskipping again, it feels like we glance over a lot of stuff which would've aided in developing the characters, specifically the children. Aemond's dragon flight was a good scene, which made it sucky that he immediately turns asshole. I can get Baela's reaction but for one, even though Vhagar chose Aemond just as much, but it seems out of character for Aemond to now act like this, he acted with a lot more compassion and restraint last time and he should be able to empathize with her, it kinda feels forced to make him seem as bad as Aegon just so we side with Jace and Luke - of whom brought a knife to a 4v1 fight when they are of the 4, tad excessive really, it's not like Aemond threw the first punch either.

And of course, the Bastard stuff. It annoys me mainly because people act like it doesn't matter; the room doesn't go silent for it not to matter, you don't draw knives for something that doesn't matter, you don't pretend to kill your husband and marry your uncle for something that doesn't matter, you don't cut your uncle-in-law's head for something that doesn't matter. I can't say I'm against Alicent when I share her frustration of Rhaenyra getting away with shunning her duty while everyone turns a blind eye to it. People treat Alicent like 'worse than Cersei', either by bookreading, wiki digging or blind and abashed bias towards Rhaenyra and Daemon, but right now she's just Frank Grimes from the Simpsons - driven mad by Homer's incompetence getting a free pass in such a highly sensitive position. It's not that I'm fully on her side, but I understand her distraught; ask any mother to see if they would accept the person who cut out their son's eye getting away with just an apology? No loving mother would, especially not a mother who consistently got told that her children would become targets for assassination by the family of the same culprit. Then by episode 8 she's driven again maddened by duty to protect her arsewipe of a son Aegon. Speaking of sons, I don't find it as believable that all of Rhaenyra's sons turned into humble boys while all of Alicent's boys turned into assholes and maniacs. Rhaenyra's sons are trained to succeed her on the throne while Alicent's children are not, and Aegon - the only one told he will take the throne of Alicent's children - has no interest in anything. I'm just saying there would be cockiness in the 'Velaryon' boys, they after all participated in bullying Aemond with the Pig.

Outside of Targaryen family drama I have to say Corlys lost me on episode 7, Baela as heir to Driftmark would've made history, but it's not the history that mattered to him, which is why it was confusing that Rhaenys ignored this agenda when Corlys was off-screen injured. Plus the 'night' scenes of episode 7 was done poorly, the blue hue made it hard to see anything. I will have to say finally that I did not like the way misunderstanding was played at the end: yes this puts Alicent's motivations to be more pure given that Alicent knew about Viserys' own prior vision of putting his son on the throne, but miscommunication is always a weak angle.

On positive notes, Episode 7's funeral setting was at least a clever one to put tensions to a head, since it also necessitated all the characters to be there. Episode 8's setting also foreshadowed the true calm before the storm, but also two sides of the fallout to come, because after the whole Driftmark debacle ended with the wife speaking for the will of the dying husband, it strengthens Alicent's position to do the same.

We spotlighted the children a lot more too, since they would become active in the wars more physically, including the conflict that costs Aemond his eye (even though Aemond did act out of character). Jace and Luke are meant to be the guys you side but they aren't really characters to me sadly, but Helaena's prophecies are adding intrigue without being turned into an asshole, although she is mostly absent in episode 8 save for the feast. Come the timeskip as well Aemond's actor is magnificently disconcerting, focused and dangerous-looking, as much a young reincarnation of Daemon who is both fascinated and bloodthirsty towards his targets (and Daemon even seems to respect that). One must admit that the roasting of Aegon does lighten the mood in one common goal, even if the kids are not mature enough to fully bury the hatchet, Aemond perhaps more reason to carry a grudge given the lost eye.

Also a shout out to that one extra mean mugging Alicent with the Blacks in ep 7, he knew his role o nameless one.

Alicent in episode 8 was great too, anti-Alicents kept waiting for a reason to jump on her; 'it's poison', 'it's a trap', 'they're keeping him sick', 'she's defending him', 'she's shutting Rhaenyra down', 'she's being unfair', 'she's gonna kill him in his sleep' all to be wrong. All in all she was very fair towards her people and has to answer to logic, let's be honest Luke shouldn't be Lord of Driftmark as both a child and bastard and she made sure Vaemond got to say his piece and gave Rhaenyra the platform to speak her own claim (which she then sulked about acting like it's a conspiracy), she even is willing to support Rhaenyra's claim and bury the hatchet and continually reprimands her sons for their shithousery. All falling towards tragic misunderstanding as she tries to carry out what she believes to be her husband's will.

I continue to say Fuck Otto, manipulator extraordinaire, he is Alicent's Daemon equivalent, of course a different dynamic at play but they are both poisonous influences on the main women working their own agenda. But at this stage it works to further the plot, including acting in ways Alicent doesn't intend which furthers disconnect.

Viserys, for all his now admirable ability to stay on the verge of living these past few episodes, remains the underrated gem of the show too. More Paddy is not something to be upset about, he deserves an award for his role, and considerable praise has to go to the makeup as well, they've aged him excellently to the point that in episode 8 I literally said 'good god' several times upon seeing him - it's as if Ser Criston is sucking out his lifespan because that boy does not fucking age. Paddy again puts on another terrific performance as the man reluctant to die as he valiantly - albeit in vein - tries to keep his family united. Alicent and Rhanyra's visible anguish upon seeing him is well-acted, but the top scene has to be Daemon helping his brother up the stairs, equal parts tragic but emotive as it showed a rare moment of Daemon being fully compassionate towards his brother without an ulterior motive.

It'll all go to shit, but at the very least one man got to die with a happy memory. And he will not live to see the bloodshed begin at full force.

Never fails.

Meet a fellow adult on the internet. They express interest in getting closer on a personal level. I neither initiate this contact nor pursue them personally, they find and come to me.

I want to avoid the inevitable, so kinda softly decline and say maybe someday in the future.

They press we should have some fun, we live close enough, there's nothing stopping us from having fun together like two independent responsible adults.

Express now is not a good time and it may be a while. I am in financial distress and living situation problems and it'd be very irresponsible to try and add a girlfriend or just a fuckbuddy to the mix. I am insufficient right now.

They can't understand why an adult would decline when we're so compatible and like the same stuff and both more or less D2F. It just seems strange.. Is she not good enough? Assure, that's not the issue at all.

Break down and explain my life is a living hell because I cannot function normally, due to a combination of health issues, not enough money to explore and solve those health issues, and a mother that keeps a proverbial leash around my money just to prevent me from being able to escape her and progress in my life with any dignity. I am being financially exploited and abused as a method to control where I am, where I can go, and if I can sustain independence. She does not want me independent, she wants absolute control over my finances and even taxes for fun and profit.

Perhaps she'd also be interested in helping me escape this abusive situation and helping me get onto my feet? I'm kind of broken and need some help.

"Oh.. uh.... I need to go wash my hair for the next 20 years!"

And then silence. They have run away because helping me out of the mud isn't what she signed up for.

Glad I didn't get my hopes up. I hate you all.

Headcanons for the Games

The District 9 female was chosen as Tribute for the First Quarter Quell after she fell into a vat of beer. She managed to get herself out, but was hungover for a week. The Reaping happened the day her hangover was at an end. District 9 voted her in as a punishment for “her beer swim”

There have been three District 6 Tributes named Stuart White. The first Stuart froze to death in the First Hunger Games, the second Stuart was killed by the girl from District 4 in the First Quarter Quell and the third was killed in the 42nd Hunger Games by the eventual Victor. All three were related: the first Stuart had a younger brother, who managed to escape the Reaping, only to have several children, one of which was named after his uncle. When he died, his older brother, whose partner was expecting his first child, gave birth shortly after, naming the child Stuart. The third Stuart was killed in the 42nd Games, and as he had younger siblings who didn’t get Reaped, they lived long enough to have kids. Around the time of the 68th Hunger Games, a baby was born. His name? Stuart White IV.

Ginny Canova, Chive Carmichael, Samson Wilson, Derry Cribbins and Ada Burns are the only Victors who never killed another Tribute, becoming part of an exclusive club of winning the Hunger Games without killing a single person.

Just four Games had an Inter-District Alliance that lasted until the end of the Games: The 4th, 28th, 39th and 60th Hunger Games. In all cases, the Alliance only collapsed after the last Tributes in the Alliance were killed

4th: Collapsed after the deaths of the D11F and D12M (Horsa)

28th: Collapsed after the deaths of the D9M and D11F (Taliesin)

39th: Collapsed after the deaths of the D1M and D2F (Turquoise)

60th: Collapsed after the deaths of the D9M and D7M (Hektor)

Incidentally, the Victors would be part of the collapsed Alliance

Some Tributes were so memorable that they would become the only Tributes with those names ever to participate in those Games.

“And you’re sure they’re not some kinda calculations?”

“I’ve tried every equation they might fit into or come out of, and bothered every warlock in my contacts to do the same. Nothing.”

“So maybe measurements? Parameter adjustments for the weapon? Is it a test platform?”

“That was my first thought, but I can’t make heads or tails of them if that’s what they are. Then again, I’m no experimental weapons expert.”

This track has played while I’ve been floating in orbit a few times now. It’s so beautiful, and it feels as legendary and as sombre as this whole expansion.
