As I said on youtube, I love the green shirt and Darth Vader necklace combo. Most nice, Jess. The show continues to have good episodes. A bit of delight in seeing the Lannister army. Ah, the joy of hearing again The Rains of Castamere. Cersei would be goddamn jealous of that beauty of a lion. I take your point of it is practical for Aemond to remove Alicent from the council for reasons of she suspects what he did. From a ruling and strategery perspective, it is a piss-poor decision. He certainly gave Aegon a start by paying him the visit and looking like he’s trying to find out if Aegon said anything to Gus about Keyser Söze. I am, of course, in no position to judge your loving Larys. He is probably the most capable, as you note. The rub is you can’t trust him as far as you can throw him, a concern that would be great in my case as with my bad knee, I shouldn’t be throwing anybody. Loved the acting where he’s being manipulative and yet, his emotions overwhelm giving even him pause. How you said you miss Otto’s shady ass. That makes two of us, Jess. Next to Alicent, he’s my favorite on this show. More of Rhys as Otto, please. We can keep subjecting Daemon to the Overlook treatment. The door closed on him, and he demanded it opened, I say that no, let us hold the door, prevent him from escaping the hell he is in, and all through this episode, I’m cackling like Ian McDiarmid as the Emperor watching Daemon continuously suffer. Great to see Paddy again. Mixed feelings on seeing Viserys again. Great to see Paddy again. Loved your own reaction to that. Not sure it’s wise for Daemon to threaten Simon. Daemon is correct that Rhaenyra did not give two shits about wanting the crown until she was named heir. And now, Grover got got, and Alys did the getting. It remains to be seen how bad this will be for Daemon, though I imagine the Black Prince views this as favorable to him. I’ll take more of dear Alys, whom we’ve now heard Simon speak of her, thus confirming she is real. The scene with Alicent and her brother was sweet, and nice to hear that Daeron is a kind soul. I share your understanding how the small folk are hungry and are sicker of fish than Catholics during Lent, leading to the violence that ensued. And with it, I shared the paramount concern for Helaena. Alicent, less so. The show cannot kill her. You don’t kill the Salieri before the story concludes, especially not when Olivia matches the skill of F. Murray Abraham as Salieri. Certainly, though, massive praise and respect for how Alicent put in the work to keep Helaena from being killed; from putting herself between the attacking smallfolk and her daughter, and when commanding the kingsguard to prioritize Helaena’s safety over her own. Respect. You feel bad for the one guy on Team Black. Rhaenyra had him come on down as he was the next contestant on The Price is Right, as you delightfully said. Unfortunately, to the surprise of no one, for that poor guy, it did not pan out, thus we say, “See, Rhaenyra? The Price is Wrong, bitch.” Of course, Rhaenyra didn’t want to hear that, leading to her slapping the one guy. Not the best look, nor saying she should have cut his tongue out. I like how you have the optimism of Jacaerys having faith in his mom, whilst wanting Daemon back. I cannot quite say the same as it seems, like Aegon and Aemond on Team Green, when it comes to their mother, they and Jacaerys... They might be demonstrating a failure to show appreciation. And I don’t think anyone wants Daemon under any state that he is in, given how much of a rabid cur he is. Mysaria showed appreciation, though I do not share her optimistic appraisal of Rhaenyra being steadfast. Rotten to hear of her past, which in retrospect, means Daemon really was a dick to her. The kiss, I’m going to be a fucking asshole in that I’m thrown by that, and when I wake up this morning, I hear the internet cheering and applauding it to high heaven. Making me say, “So, I’m alone on this one too?” Thus, I liked your reaction being more taken aback. And I share your view of feelings are neither cold nor hot to the two of them in a relationship. It was just very jarring is all I’m suggesting. The relationship, if any is definitely ending poorly, however that goes. Sidenote, Rhaenyra says Daemon was everything she wanted to be. That’s a fucked up commentary in and of itself. Then there’s Alyn and Addam being confirmed to be the sons of Corlys. Don’t I feel silly for thinking fans were making shit up. I thought Alyn was too old, and I looked him up, saying, “No, he can’t be. He’s too old, he’s... Wait, I’m older than this guy? Really? Shit.” I then looked up Steve Toussaint and see he’s born seven years after my parents, one year before my godmother who was my aunt, so it is realistic. Seasmoke seemed real set on the one guy. Seasmoke giving the guy a start, being quite reminiscent of when it’s one minute to Rocco’s dinnertime, as you wonderfully compared. Reminds me that my cat, Muffin was never QUITE that pushy, though if memory serves, she did make it known whenst one fell behind on feeding her. And now Rhaenyra is off to see what’s all the hoo-ha about. Doesn’t cross her mind to maybe leave a note to her son where she’s going and what she’s doing? Some ideas as to what her council should do in her absence? No? Too bad. What wasn’t bad is your reaction, Jess. You have been on a roll with this show, and this week was no exception, I thank you for the lovely reaction.

Getting prepared for the next '80s movie in August, I see. My dog doesn't get like that around dinner, though she does try to trick different family members into thinking she hasn't been fed already, so we've learned to have whoever does it immediately check in with all the others.

I have to start by noting my relief that the show is sticking with Martin's gag that the Tullys of this time all have the names of Sesame Street characters. I was worried they'd see it as something that would be too silly if you had to keep hearing them. When the dream started with Viserys just repeating his lines from the pilot, I wondered if they couldn't actually get Paddy back and had to reuse old footage. But then he started giving distinctly different deliveries than before, plus we get Daemon's imagining of comforting his brother like he should have, which is presumably just a regular dream with Alys now gone. Your instant appreciation of him is wonderful. Rhaena's story is being combined with a character named Nettles who's apparently just been dropped, which I'm fine with for now as she really didn't add that much. And it's been fun to watch an especially pathetic trolling attempt calling the show racist for dropping a black character, ignoring how the entire Velaryon family has been made black (which Martin even says he wishes he'd thought of). Which I imagine also made Alyn and Addam's secret pretty easy to guess for a lot of newbies, but much like Qimir, the reveal is so understated that it feels like it's not even really supposed to be a surprise. And imagine how much trouble could have been saved if Seasmoke could just tell them he doesn't play with white boys. Is the implication here that Rhaenyra deliberately used the blockade to create a famine in King's Landing that she could then make a big deal of "saving" the people from? Because that's the kind of thing that leads to heads on pikes around the Bastile if people ever figure it out, and it seems like it wouldn't take that much effort. For as much as this show gets knocked for not having nearly as much humor as Game of Thrones, I had one of my biggest laughs of either with this slightly less literal version of "No sir, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again." Emma pours so much sexual frustration into the simple line "Yes, he does that," reminiscent of Alan Rickman's ability to find a bottomless pit of indignity to every line in Galaxy Quest. There's nothing between Rhaenyra and Mysaria in the book, or indeed any sign that she's anything other than straight, and I wonder if this is at least partly them leaning into having cast a non-binary actor. It's definitely going somewhere, but we'll need to get Daemon back in the mix for it.

I did see others point out the Sesame Street gag. Similar thought of simply using recycled footage in the one dream, but when they showed Paddy, he looked slightly different, and it sunk in that they actually got him back. Like I said, mixed feelings about his character aside, good to see Paddy again. The one dream could be just a dream. Could also be Alys fucking with Daemon by luring him into a false sense of security. I’ve heard the name Nettles, though no details. I also heard that about Martin wishing he came up with the casting for the Velaryons. The one reveal felt very gradual and understated. Alas, Rhaenyra did not get the memo that Seasmoke doesn’t play with white boys. The question you raised about the blockade: That theory has been advanced, and it wouldn’t surprise me if that is what happened. I suspect Otto had that line about the dolls with Viserys once or twice. Good reference by the way. Olivia and Emma both have been bringing the Alan Rickman energy, though Rhys has them beat with that line where he braces himself as he ascertains what Aegon and Criston did. I’m told the kiss was Emma’s suggestion. I haven’t even read the book, and it felt unique to the show. Again, feelings are lukewarm about this development, but we’ll see how it goes.

Well that was interesting. I can’t tell you how the majority of people on this planet want Daemon out of Harrenhal at this point. Lol. I am glad of some positive character development but enough already. Larys has grown on me so much, I love him. I also want Otto back. I’m waiting for prime Corlys action. Love that actor. Jace has become a great character this year. Tbh, the only character I don’t really care for is Mysaria. Still, I could get behind the kiss if it had been developed properly, but it came out of nowhere. Last season the writing was tight and efficient. No scene was wasted. This season there is some unneeded repetition . I am still open to everything until we get to the end of season, and I am really enjoying it, despite my bitching. I didn’t comment on last week’s episode because I was supremely disgusted with the mother dream. It was so unnecessary 😊

Well, it seems that my brother and I are in the minority with the Harrenhal business as we are loving the scenes of Daemon going through it. It also does give Matt some juicy scenes to showcase how he is slowly but steadily losing it. Larys is as Jess said, a character that you don’t quite know what game he’s playing, and that does make him fascinating. I’m badly missing Otto. I hate how I know the trick with the opening credits where if someone is not listed, then they don’t appear in the episode. Four episodes in a row, I get excited seeing Olivia’s name, then get let down a smidge that Rhys is absent. Still curious, star power aside, why Matt maintains top billing when it feels more appropriate to give him the and credit. Ok, I guess I’m not alone on the kiss thing. Don’t mind Mysaria much. Not overly fond of her, yet don’t mind her. I share the thought you expressed, the kiss itself I have no real issues with. The fact that it comes right out of left field is jarring. The writing has been a touch repetitive I suppose. I’m still enjoying the show well enough. It’s the thing with shows and films that you can note places where something doesn’t quite work or something whilst not bad, could have been done better, and still say you love the overall product. The one statement Roger Ebert made, “I just wish people would sometimes say it doesn’t matter if I don’t really understand it, as long as I liked the performances, and I got the right feeling out of the film.” That’s been the case here. And as to why you chose not to comment on last week’s episode, I ain’t arguing with your reasoning on that one.

Vanessa J McNamara
>>144392648

Thomas let’s be honest. The reason you are enjoying Harrenhal is because you hate the character and you think it’s great he’s suffering. Which is fine, I want everyone to enjoy the show.

Ryan

This season was partly made during the WGA strike, which meant the writers were completely out of the process and they were stuck with the scripts they already had. And you're seeing why that's a bad idea.

Thomas Corp
>>144392648

“Hate” is a strong word with Daemon. He still has a LONG way to go before matching the raw, seething HATRED that I have for Ramsay Bolton. Let us say that there is a significant distaste for Daemon. Thus, yes, the fact he is going through suffering is most enjoyable. There’s also just being impressed by Matt’s acting in all of it. With it, it feels like The Haunting and The Shining all rolled into one, which is fine by me as I love those films. Also, more Harrenhal means more Alys, and more Simon, and I like both of them.

Vanessa J McNamara

I heard that might have been an issue. But I thought the UK had a different union so they weren't obligated. Perhaps that was just the actors.

I skipped that mother dream scene both on Jess's reaction to it and on Liam Catterson's.
