Hi just recently started following you and finished watching the show,I love your posts thank you for sharing them!

As for the green dress debacle,I don't know I think it's worse than anyone thinks because if you just came into this show,the scene holds no significance whatsoever?

It's not even a establishing moment,you wouldn't even notice it if not for the color change and those two extras giving exposition in the most lazy way ever?

I am just not a fan idk.

Many things in this show make no sense because the context is changed and there is obvious bias towards one side and the one side they biased on are the villians.

Seriously this show should just be called misery,who watched this and actually came out rooting for anyone?

A whole bunch of the decisions make no sense,like a short headcount here:

Aegon is pathetic and entitled and supposedly plays a big role in here but half of the time you forget he is there,Heleana is a weirdo who is supposedly a dreamer and what she is completely fine with the fucked shit that is gonna go down and happen to her and her family?

Not to even mention the icky implications of her being autistic and that somehow being connected to that trend of only autistic people have special powers and also giving autistic traits to someone who has such a terrible fate in canon,and for what?

Aemond is a psycho with a brother/mother/sister/inferiority complex and daddy issues that the plot continues to justify because he was bullied?

Daeron isn't even there.

Alicent might as well not be there for all the fucking nothing she did. And she is a hypocrite who peddles the system because she gains from it.And despises everyone who isn't as miserable as her?Like really?

Also considering the age they all are supposed to be how is everyone still so political inept and naive?

This show is just weird,like it goes out of its way to demonize anyone with active agency and praises anyone who rolls with the system and this is supposed be realistic?

What kind of political agenda is this?

They went out of their way to take all the agency from Alicent because the evil stepmother trope is apparently sexist?

Yeah because evil woman don't exist right?

We are all saints and man are ruining everything.

Ugh.

Any time Rhaenyra makes a decision she is a evil whore that is controlled by her passions and any time Alicent continues her impressive impression of a doormat,oh gee she is suffering for everyone we should praise her,what a good woman/wife/mother.

Supposedly this is feminist.

Seriously I get the feeling that the show is trying villianize the Targaryens but is only popular because of them?

You know the writers just hate them because the favorites of the people they go out of their way to demonize and the ones they like they literally completely rewrote.

I am baffled.

Thank fuck for the decent cast.

@shokos-lazy-life, thank you for reading them!

I recommend alinahams, sweetestpopcorn, xenonwitch, azureflight, la-pheacienne, theblackqveen, mononijikayu, rhaenyragendereuphoria, jackoshadows, the-king-andthe-lionheart, thelustybraavosimaid, hamliet, darklinaforever, lady-corrine, and ozymalek for more in-depth analyses of the ASoIaF novels, AWoIaF, and F&B and the fandom. (If I pinged you, I tried not to, I'm sorry!)

"Not to even mention the icky implications of her being autistic and that somehow being connected to that trend of only autistic people have special powers and also giving autistic traits to someone who has such a terrible fate in canon,and for what?" I never considered that. But it is making these two separate things parallel like in more-faith-based views of the world that demonized or othered disability. Great catch!

Yeah, this show would be nothing without such amazing actors like Matt Smith, Emma D'Arcy, Paddy Considine, Olivia Cooke, Tom Glynn Carney, etc, Eve Best, Steve Toussaint, etc. There's too many. HBO relies on great actors to make up for their writers' terrible and misogynist scripts. It is known.

I mean, the costumes and hair....*shivers.
