it's not queerbaiting it's saving the world

on one hand everyone was always going to be mad about this season no matter what. on the other hand a big part of that is because they made specific adapational choices very early on despite knowing this season would eventually need them to shift things significantly. on the third hand. I don't really understand most of the new choices they made here.

like I'm gonna wait until I watch it/binge the entire season together to see if it feels more coherent that way because I've had different reactions than my dash's consensus across the season at some points. but. I just don't get why they decided, even in the absence of a bigger budget, to not adapt the vampire lestat in any meaningful way and instead to do. all that.

I was born in the exact right generation I love being an unmarried woman in my twenties with my own bank account and no children

the episode beginning with alicent telling rhaenyra that sending daeron away was her greatest act of motherhood and it ending with ormund forcing daeron to execute an innocent man...it doesn't matter that she sent him away, she can't save him. SO good.

the "created by ryan condal and george rr martin" at the beginning of each episode on this season of house of the dragon feels like the television equivalent of stuffing two people in a get-along t-shirt

thank fuck for the third amendment they need that shit in Westeros bad it would seem

i miss challengers so bad can they remake it every year with the exact same cast and plot but make it a different sport every time
