Which Alicent is your favorite?

My queens.

Alicent Hightower from Season 1 is the most book-accurate version. I love her, come back!

Last Targaryen.

The Greens!

Daemon saw himself in Aemond; this was a sign to the viewers.

Seeing him in this state breaks my heart. His brother shouldn't have done this to him. He did it, and we didn't see the slightest hint of remorse. This situation could cause a conflict among the Greens. Aegon's ribs and everything below them are broken, and the armor he was wearing melted along with his skin due to dragon fire. He won't be able to stand up anymore, and naturally, he won't be able to ride his dragon. His dragon, Sunfyre, is severely injured and won't be able to fly anymore. I expect Aegon to undergo character development after this event.

Rhys Ifans has been splendid as Otto Hightower every time he has been on screen, but he exceeded himself in “Rhaenyra the Cruel.” His scene with King Aegon and Criston Cole after the ratcatchers are hanged just crackles with wit, tension, drama, a performance that cries out for awards attention.
