So why is the Hand's gimp son fomenting discord in the king's house. I can't tell if he is aligned with the Hightowers, but he certainly placed the seed of doubt in the queen's mind and continues to egg her on. I'm probably forgetting something from earlier in the series, but his father and brother don't seem disloyal.
I wondered that, too. The character shows up out of nowhere and does something that would not seem to align with his father's motivations.

What's funny is that he did the exact same thing that Otto tried to do with Viserys (deliver rumors about Rhaenyra's impropriety). The biggest difference was that he was careful not to make any accusations. My takeaway is that he's trying to climb up the "ladder of chaos" and be to Alicent what the White Worm was to her father; a reliable informer/spy master.

Criston Cole is a moron. He should have let her ask a direct question... he just confessed for no reason.

Yep. And he should have known his place with Rhaenyra and just banged her. He wasted both shots.

He should have done like Jerry Seinfeld in that one episode and tried to float the menage et trois idea with the Queen and the Princess.

That would be a dangerous game. If they got found out…remember it isn't like the King's Guard we're all BFFs.

Rewatching the episode and the "will I be remembered as a good king?" conversation stands out as peak GoT quality dialogue. Just a fantastic job by Paddy Considine

Also, the piano piece at the end sequence was a certified Ramin Djawadi BANGER.

Kind of reminded me of Marcus Aurelius talk with Maximus in Gladiator.

The thing I'm liking about this show is that almost all of these characters have things about them that I like. I don't hate any of them, even Otto Hightower and Daemon Targaryen.

But you have to admit how satisfying it was to watch Ramsey and Joffrey meet their ends.

Oh, yeah. I hated Ramsey, Joffrey, Jamie and Cersei from the jump. That's the difference between that show and this. Of course I came to like Jamie as the show went on, so maybe I'll begin to hate some of these characters as this show goes on.

Daemon is my favorite character. The actor steals every scene and the character does what he needs to while shooting the bird to everyone.

Ya this show is definitely missing its Joffrey (someone you're completely against) and Tyrion (someone you're completely for). Hoping those archetypes will show themselves in the 2nd half of the season.

Did anyone else think Viserys was being poisoned during the feast? They kept cutting away to him continuing to eat, while everything else was beginning to happen. I thought that was foreshadowing something.
I think he had bacterial sepsis from his cuts on the throne and classic poor medical care from maesters leading to his death. They showed how he was not doing well health wise the last few episodes. Note that he always had gloves on due to his non healing sores and cuts.
The King isnt dead yet...They showed him still living in the previews for the next episode. The next episode is 10 years later in the story.
The King is alive 10 years later. Looks like the maesters kept him alive.

You guys are insane. When she's in costume she makes a reasonable older Rhaneyra.

In her personal life she looks, uh, unappealing. However, it seems to me that much of that is a choice with regard to styling rather than her actually being genuinely hideous.

They have ridiculously high standards for a bunch or keyboard jockeys. Not a Chris Hensworth among them, I bet.

Yeah, reading some of these reactions is pretty cringeworthy. She's making a choice to look the way she does. You obviously don't have to like it, but you also don't have share every thought that pops into your head either. I will never understand the need to publicly disparage someone's looks on the internet, like it's 2003.

This person's deliberate intent is to appear so ****ing obnoxious and ugly so as to make reasonable people cringe. So **** her and **** anyone who objects to giving her the reaction she seeks.

There is nothing artsy or creative or interesting about her look - its just that she intends to say '**** you' to attractive women and the men that appreciate them.

Your reaction to the fact that she chooses to make herself appear less attractive is bizarre.

You might want to take a step back from the keyboard and close up shop for the night.
