Alicole Was Underwhelming, But B&C Takes The Cake As The Worst Adaptation Of A Single Asoiaf/f&b Event

Alicole was underwhelming, but B&C takes the cake as the worst adaptation of a single asoiaf/f&b event so far:

It was so rushed and whitewashed and did not focus on Helaena at all. Where is Helaena pleading for her son's life and offering up her own life instead? Where is Maelor whom Helaena was coerced to offer up as a sacrifice and does not bear to look at? Where is Heleana being forced to make a decision that haunts her entire life? She is obviously traumatized by what happened, but having her just say "they killed the boy" does not do her character and her grief justice. I really hope we get to see more of Helaena in episode 2 because it would be really upsetting if the show just brushes her off.

Not to mention Alicent's absence from the events of B&C. Alicent was really there, worried for her daughter's and grandchildren's lives, and was the first person to offer Helaena some comfort and consolation. The more I think about it the more mad I get because we got robbed of what could have been a truly harrowing and distressing scene that would do the events and the characters justice. Book!B&C was about two mothers and their shared agony, pain, and grief. It could have been powerful and shocking from an acting perspective alone if they had followed the events of the book.

i gotta give otto my 10s in episode two, even tho i hate him, because he was clocking everyone left and right ☠️

aegon? he looked him dead in the eyes and basically told him, "you're the usurper u fucking moron" straight up in his face.

cole's plan? he called it a "prank" ☠️

alicent? he basically told her to shut the fuck up about her sins.

he realized how aegon is too dumb to be a king that he started to miss viserys mid conversation and switched sides for a bit, and was like, "yunno what? this whole thing is a mistake" 😭

the one and only time i fully agree with otto. the man was STRESSED!

I love how s2 of Andor shows us how all the sacrifices the Imperial characters make for the Empire are ultimately worthless. Syril, Dedra, and Partagaz all have different variations on the same ending. and to them Krennic is the big bad guy who represents the Empire but then in Rogue One we learn that essentially he’s in the same situation: giving everything to the Empire and it amounting to nothing in the end.

well blood and cheese might have been written filmed acted and directed badly enough to warrant calling in a wellness check for Ryan Condal, who has clearly experienced a TBI, but at least Alicent got to cum exactly twice in her miserable fucking life so really it’s 50/50

percy being told that you burn what you'll miss the most and immediately burning his blue jelly beans to talk to his mom. i don't think anyone understands how much of a big deal this is to me
