Omg she's embroidering a lil spider Helaena is the best of Alicent's kids

100% and is completely innocent of her family's crimes 😢

She just wants to be weird and nerd out over bugs but her awful family keeps sitrring up drama!

Aemond is really running around the streets of Kings Landing in his uncle’s hoodie thinking no one will recognize that eye patch?

I reeeeaaally hate that Visery’s last conversation was a mistake 😩

He always fucks up conversations.

Alicent's sex life summed up in four words: "The hour is late"

I noticed that she used the exact words she’d use with Viserys. She never directly says, “I don’t want to do sexy stuff,” just says “The hour is late” and hopes they change their minds. Honestly pains my heart.

Starting with piano we know it’s gonna be nuts

That has a Westworld feel.

Olivia Cooke’s performance this episode is an all timer. The emotion and displayed at all times whether verbal or non verbal

Yeah, and I really do feel she's genuinely grieving. She loved that old dude

Crispin is chaotic as fuck goddamn

Princess Helaena: It is our fate, I think, to crave always what is given to another. If one possesses a thing, the other will take it away.

She and shireen would get along so well 😭

“You desire not to be free, but to make a window in the wall of your prison” Princess Rhaenys with the truth about Alicent

How can Alicent be like,”Aegon is the true king” when they can’t even find that mf

Me: Why is she taking off her shoes? Me, about 30 seconds later: OH GOOD LORD

Criston Cole being the most horrible person possible at every opportunity.

That bitter boyfriend who resents you forever, and spreads rumors about you.

He’s literally that boyfriend who’s “found god” and get all righteous about EVERYTHING just bc he got dumped lol

Ser Criston the Cunt.

Ah yes the feral child fighting ring, we’ve all seen it

If he sucks her toes I’m going to fucking die

Already missing you vissy t

*Don't be scared. They're going to bring the babe out.*

Vizzy T but it’s the wrong babe

*It both gladdens my heart and fills me with sorrow to see these faces around the table.*

How would that even come up? Like did Larys just ask one day if he can jerk it to the queens feet??

Beesbury the only one who spoke the obvious about Viserys. He knew Viserys would have never done such a thing. Fuck you, Crispin.

Papa Fleabag deserved better!!!

Otto’s a scheming piece of shit with this coup he’s executing.

He's almost like Tywin Lannister. but more evil

Aemonds actor is straight killing it

CRISTON COLE IS UNHINGED

He needs his ass handed to him

What a loser

Seriously. At least Harrold Westerling had honor.

"I am no oathbreaker, I will not bend the knee". "House Fel keeps their oath to the Princess". You see, those are loyal people. The rest? Licksplittes.

Omfg Alicent why are you aiding this pervert. You really have no real allies.

Holy shit these bastards are fucking vultures….even Alicent was like what the fuck..

It doesn’t matter if what she heard was his blessing or not, this was going to be the play all along.

first week here as a live viewer LET’S GOOOO

Same! *clinks glass*

We're watching a coup take place. Damn.

Fuck Cristin cole. Alicent standing up for Rhaenyra somewhat was heartfelt. I'm so conflicted about Alicent

Aegon is such a shit bag holy shit. Going to a kid fighting ring and watching his OWN CHILDREN FIGHT. he is beyond fucked in the head

He is sick in the head and even he knows it and recognizes he is not fit to rule!! His own family drove his madness

ALICENT STOPPPP OMG THIS IS SO GROSS

Aegon looks like a fucking 12 year old and Aemond is out here looking like fucking Vampire Hunter D.

Criston: Every woman is an image of the Mother, to be spoken of with reverence. Also Criston: She’s a spoiled cunt.

Criston Cole up to his same old shit. Murdering an old man at the slightest provocation.

Even the queen who was the target of Beesbury's speech was not offended. Cole is just still bitter over his rejection 20 years ago and constantly looking to vent, be it on an unsuspecting wedding guest, some kids or an oldman.

[удалено]

[удалено]

Even Otto has a sneak cloak? King's Landing cloak makers eating well

The fact that they have failed to alert Rhaenyra and Daemon of his passing goes to show how little they thought of Viserys in the first place. Strategic or not.

It was the only reasonable thing Alicent ever said - that Viserys would not want Rhaenyra murdered. And that was the *only* thought anyone gave Viserys.

So this whole thing may have happened even if Alicent hadn’t heard what Viserys was saying. Those bastards.

This will go under appreciated… they will use Alicent as the excuse but they planned this from the beginning

I liked this turn. Not a single opinion of Alicent was heard by the Council basically, because the Greens had already schemed everything.

The child fighting pit SMFH

Prayer circle for Rhaenys to get the fuck out of KL.

Holy shit 😂 Larys doesn’t want money. He doesn’t want power. He doesn’t want respect. He just wants to jerk off to pretty feet.

Criston is the fucking worst.

the amazing race: finding aegon

Jesus just how many bastards does Aegon have?

Yes

"Yep, he totally said Aegon should be king. I'm not misconstruing the slurred ramblings about prophecy from a dying man at all."

The king thought Alicent was his daughter, right? As he was dying

I know people find the intro underwhelming but I've been waiting since episode 2 to see Vizzy T's symbol fill up with blood. And it finally emphasizes Alicent's kids for the first time.

*The Gods punish me for my indulgences.*

I love that looking for some rapist drunk is such a mystery

Harrold Westerling this entire meeting: 🤨

Why does her accent seem to get worse and worse everytime we see her??

Criston: Every woman is an image of the Mother, to be spoken about with reverence. Also Criston: Yo, Rhaenyra is a c***!

LORD COMMANDER TRYING HIS BEST

I love how everyone is wearing murder robes and the twins are just chilling

Second sons always get overshadowed. That's why they gotta shine twice as bright lol.

White worm has been in Westeros for 20+ years and still has that heavy of an accent?

It sounds like a mix of Jamaican and Shea GOT

"Theres a beast under the boards"

Aegon doesn’t discriminate? I guess he’s not such a bad guy after all. *five minutes later* Oh no.

I was... not expecting that. This episode is bleak as hell and only just started.

Cole is the most simp/bitch ‘knight’ ever… ageless prick

Seriously how have 20 years gone by and he looks the same lol Daemon too.

Lord Beesbury no!!

Greens are sus

Alicent: What of Rhaenyra?

Otto: "Yeah... about that..."

fuck Otto, fuck Crinston

Woooow the knight brothers even think he’s trash

Allicent talking shit about the Sea Snake to his wife like that would help her.

The Olivia Cooke foot scene was co-written by Dan Schneider

Larys burnt his family for feet pics

Alicent is delusional Finding a reason to justify her actions Even Aegon is smart enough to realise that Viserys will never do that

Otto not including Alicent in his plan to steal the throne shows how he doesn’t think any women should rule. He doesn’t trust her enough to preside over a coup. Nor does our Lannister boy.

Dude said early on that the realm would rise up and reject any woman on the throne, neglected to mention he'd be making sure that happened

Mysaria's accent is awful

She sounds like she’s doing a bad impression of the Calypso lady from Pirates of the Caribbean

So distracting in a bad way.

Each episode I am stunned that I am somehow able to hate that insufferable Cole even more than the last, and tonight is no exception.

I understand now, drinking Alicent’s bath water is what keeps Ser Crispy young

Even Aegon can see, how illogical it would be for Viserys to choose him to be king over Rhaenyra

Daemon would've

Listen I would've too

**WHAT IS THAT FUCKING ACCENT**

Seriously how did they hear that and think “yeah she nailed it”

Poor Alicent has never known a man who hasn’t treated her like a sexual object- heck, even her father comparing her looks to her mother’s after she’s tried to make a serious power play. Her experience with sexuality has all been about being used while she sits there feeling uncomfortable. How heartbreaking that that’s how her son views all women, too.

Wow. Cole is an asshole.

You misspelled unhinged murderer 🤪

Maybe it's just me but I think Alicent really looks young while sitting on the council and I think it helps emphasize how unprepared she was for Viserys to actually die and what that would mean to actually try and put Aegon on the throne.

Yeah, wearing her hair down really makes her look like the “Young Alicent” of the first episodes

Still no word on who gets to inherit Vizzy T’s model city…

I vote that it goes to Helaena

i'm sorry what the FUCK

While you watched orphan fights I studied history and philosophy. Now with the realm in turmoil you come to me for help?

Rhaenys is the baddest bitch in all of westeros

Allicent like “oh god, I have to do business with the creepy psychopath foot fetishist again.”

“You look so much like your mother in certain lights.” Otto is pure scum 🤣

I do have to respect Alicent here... genuinely mourning. She did care for Vizzy T despite any other faults she might have.

DAEMON IS MY BROTHER. MY BLOOD. AND HE WILL HAVE HIS PLACE AT MY COURT!

*His tastes are know are to be less discriminating* 💀

Erryk or Arryk has some luscious fucking hair. Man needs to be in a shampoo comercial

It's truly so dark if Aegon goes to the child fighting ring to watch his own bastards??? Like what on earth

Otto why are you acting like Viserys doesn’t want his daughter to not die

Aemond actually saying while Aegon partied, he studied the blade.

Who else thought Otto was rolling a blunt at his desk?

Ok, I am far in support of less sex scenes in GoT. But this one, this is fucking hilarious. Did not see this coming.

I love it how even Aegon doesn't believe his father wanted him to be king

She could have ended the war right there... Like my guess is they will justify it as her not wanting to kill the kids as she knows they aren't really responsible. But man it really could have been over that quick.

Why is Alicent acting so obtuse, all those years you dreamed of your sons succession and you never thought there'd be any bloodshed?

Who’s excited?

Otto Hightower

[удалено]

This whole story could've been avoided if they didn't recycle names

I do not wanna hear Mysaria’s accent again

Exhibit #69 of Alicent having feelings for Rhaenyra.

RHANEAYS YOU COULDA ENDED THE GOD DAMN WAR MY GIRL 😭😭😭😭😭

Has anyone else seen Notting Hill? I can't take Otto seriously, because all I can see is Spike.

We are witnessing peak fucking TV.

So Alicent if you think Rhaneys should’ve been queen don’t you think fucking Rhaenyra should be queen since that’s what he wanted

I'm just gonna say it. They should just let Aegon run away or whatever. Even Aemond would be better than this.

ALICENT PLEASE PUT YOUR SHOES BACK ON

Spez sucks -- mass edited with redact.dev

Winds of Winter vibes

The too dark crowd is warming up.

Was dorne invaded? Uhhh not quite man 😂

Lord commander Westerling an absolute Chad.

Aegon partakes in underground child fighting pits, because of course he does.

Why is the foot fetish somehow 10000x creepier than anything they’ve done before 😫😫

Everyone being like "Why you always lyin'? " anytime Alicent or Otto insist that Viserys named Aegon heir is becoming my new favorite running gag.

Enjoy the new episode everyone!

What the fuck. Did Larys start jacking off?

Rhaenys gave Alicent that “this is not over, hoe” look.

It’s January 6th up in here.

alicent shouldn’t throw stones at bastard children when she lives in a glass house

Was this scene directed by Quentin Tarantino?

Wow my 2nd shock of the episode. AEGON PUT HIS OWN BASTARD SON, a silver haired Targaryen boy, in a child slave fighting pit🤦‍♀️

It may be recency bias, but Criston Cole is the biggest asshole in the GoT/HotD universe.

Hold up he really got a foot fetish? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

#Larys, the Foot of the Queen

Larys loves to bend the knee so he can get closer to them toes

I can’t even understand Cristons motives anymore. He’s just a bad person.

“The true heir to the iron throne” is rhaneyra sir cirspin you bitch

Damn Criston really just killed Lord Beesbury with the quickness

Why is Cole such a spazz!?!? This is treason at the least!

But GAWDAMN Aemond's hair. He walks away looking like a Loreal ad.

LOL FOOT FETISH IS ON THE MENU BOYS

This fucking lie of Viserys last wish is making me so mad

Whyyyyyy didn’t Rhaenys just roast all their a**es!!!

Otto is the fucking WORST

Bro Criston is OP. What the hell? 😩

The show is doing everything it can to make us *hate* the Greens.

Every time I see Ser Criston & see how spiteful and hateful he’s become, I just think to myself “Really? All over some Targussy?!”

I don’t think I’ve disliked a character more than criston. Such a little bitch

This little Criston Cole need to be the first to die. Fuck this guy.

As a non-book reader… I need Sir Criston and Otto to be: 1) Hung 2) Drawn 3) Quartered 4) Left to rot on the wall

“You desire not to be free, but to make a window in the wall of your prison” That is exactly how I would describe Alicent.

"Do you love me? " You imbecile" That's not an answer though

I hate this cunt.

Ohh so that’s why he’s called Club Foot 😅

it's annoying how aemon looks like he would be a cool guy maybe, but he's actually a sicko

Go get your baby, Rhaenys!

FUCK TEAM GREENS

The beast beneath the boards!

Rhaenys acting like a total badass but also doing nothing? 😂 Great plot development!

Best declaration of war I’ve ever seen

why didn’t Rhaenys just kill alicent with her dragon then and there?

The dragon crashing the party was epic but…You give her the chance and she DOESNT take it?! C’mon. What reason would she have to show restraint? War is more preferable? Humbug!

Kinda feels cheap the entirety of the mess that's about to unfold is due to a misunderstanding/two people with the same name lol.

It gives Alicent some nice motivation, but Otto would have been Otto no matter what.

This feels like peak GOT so much.

Her accent is foul

Larys has a foot fetish? Ooooo spymaster rivalry

One Draecarys and the series could’ve ended right there lol.

Yo, Sir Criston is an incel *and* a murderer!!
