There isn't a single spoiler on this page unless you mean the two posts discussing whether or not Rhaenyra's already clearly established faction will be called the Blacks or not.

---

A war between Greens and Blacks has not yet started. The Targs haven't even been called that yet in the show. So maybe keep discussion about the Blacks vs Greens war on the book thread.

---

You are the first person to bring up any war between any factions.

Curious to see if they use it, even though the primary Targ color is Black.

---

They have to. Not using Blacks would be like Star Wars renaming the Empire something goofy like "The First Order".

I don't think anyone is intentionally trying to spoil anything, it's just annoying when they do inadvertently because they can't help themselves.

---

And you do it intentionally within minutes after posting this.

I love that they are slowing down individual episodes to take place in a brief period of time, but I do hope the time-jumps in-between episodes slows down. Without any spoilers, can anyone speak to if S2 or S3 will slow down and S1 is table-setting/context?

Showrunners confirmed the next time jump (next week's episode) is the last. We should then be done with the years of backstory and into the meat of the series.

This show is causing me to have some self realization.

Apparently people men seem to think Alicent is the bad guy on the show. They think she's a Cercei like character. Cercei was ugly so it was easy to hate her. Alicent is beautiful so its hard to see her as the villian.

I'm a poor, surface level judge of character it seems.

---

Actually, Alicent is probably a better person than Rhaenyra from a moral perspective. However, she is thoroughly unlikeable, IMO.

Otto has led Alicent to believe that if Rhaenyra becomes queen she'll kill her sons. So now she doesn't want Rhaenyra to be queen. IMO, she's justifying all that upon Rhaenyra's behavior and to protect her kids. Otto created the Alicent problem... she was initially sweet and pliable. But she now believes Rhaenyra is a threat to her kids. Also, from her perspective, she's probably bitter because she's done her duty with her icky king while Rhaenyra has been sexually promiscuous (from Alicent's viewpoint).

Isn't posting that there's a time jump in the next episode a spoiler?

Really stands in contrast to all the prognostication that GoT was a dead franchise especially by bitter hardcore GoT ex-fans.

Rhaenyra proposed the marriage alliance, but Alicent **** on that. Due to the ******* kids like you said

Glad I missed whatever the spoiler was.

I swear there's someone every year...

---

No big deal. Was likely the resolution of the entire show. Fun times.

I gotta ask, who else isn't watching the preview of the next episode?

I have literally never heard anyone think Lena Headley was ugly.

---

Ha, this. I thought surely he was talking about being ugly on the inside or something. Because on the outside, Headley has been the opposite of ugly for as long as she's been acting.

I never watch any previews for any show.
At best, they are intentionally misleading in some way, and at worst they will make major moments in the episode be less impactful because you have already seen it.

Ya know what's funny is we applaud Rhaenyra for letting Laenor live, but what about the poor guy that got tossed in the fire just minding his business going about his duty. Probably has kids that wondered what happened to him.

Daemon/Rhaenyra are still murderers but we didn't know him so ehhhh

Except the part where she condoned the act of Larys murdering his brother and father (the highest of crimes in Westeros).

---

She literally says that's not what she wanted.

---

Then she should have had him punished. He murdered the Hand of the King and the former Commander of the City Watch, both members of a house that rules the greatest keep in Westeros.
