They fixed her accent. Thank fuck.
"The Dragons refused to go past the wall"
Well believe me they don't have that problem in the future...
No one above them🔥
Love how Ser Criston Cole searched for duty and sacrifice beneath Alicent's petticoat of moral righteousness.
Hoping for even more amazing plot points from HOTD season 2!
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
I’m glad we didn’t see more of Blood and Cheese than we did.
who would’ve thought that hbo would manage to make people who are team black and those who are team green agree on something. that is how bad blood and cheese was adapted in this episode
hm. so the blood and cheese thing felt kind of anticlimactic to me. it just fell kind of flat? it wasn’t helaena’s reaction that ruined it for me—i think she was simply in shock and her actions make sense to me explained that way—but for a few reasons i just didn’t get the emotional impact from the scene that the scene in the book had. maybe i will come up with a more eloquent analysis of why later on but right now these are my thoughts as to why:
1. The characters of Blood and Cheese themselves felt flat and cartoonishly evil, so much so that it broke my suspension of disbelief and at one point during the part where they were sneaking around the tunnels i actually made myself laugh by thinking “this is like some shit out of bbc merlin”
2. The major issue stems from the decision to cut Maelor from the show. Idk about you guys but for me the most fucked up part about that scene in the book was the fact that they made Helaena choose between which of her sons they would kill (and then killed the one she didn’t choose anyway and made sure the one they spared knew she had chosen him to die). That’s the part that really stayed with me. That’s some serious psychological nightmare material. i could see them trying to reference that choice she made by having her point out her son, but it just didn’t pack the same punch as making her actually CHOOSE, and it felt awkward within the scene and just kind of shoehorned in there.
idk. overall i enjoyed the episode, but i expected more punch from that plot point
Hearing the kid get sliced up was fucked. Sorry Haelena, girl. Anyway,
BURN ALL THE GREENS TO THE GROUND!!!!

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.

Otto Hightower:
I AM FUCKING READY FOR THE HURRICANE OF HOTD FAN-FICTION
when i catch this munch its OVER
Fuck these writers even more for having Helaena just leave her son alone for fucking dead.
SHE WOULD NOT FUCKING DO THAT! I swear these showrunners are illiterate!
When the Stark theme started right from the top.
Thank you for your service, Cregan Stark.
See you at the end of next season, probably.
"she drew alicent into her intoxicating web" yeah in more ways than you will ever know crispy cole
A young girl rejected him 20 years ago and he's still mad and calling her a spider, a true representation of a pathetic loser.
Ohh Crispin Cole you would have a podcast bashing women in this century.
Aegon really went "and you get a car, and you get car, and you get a car" to the small folk
Alicent when she's asked where she was when the heir got murdered.

I'm actually liking how they're handling Eloise's development in season 3. "I used to think it was just me" - she's realised there's more to the women/society around her and is making attempts to open up and expand her world, while staying true to her views. I look forward to seeing how they handle Cressida. "A woman is the greatest enemy of a woman" is one of my least fave tropes/stereotypes so expanding on why the villain is the way she is and exposing society for what it is (a battleground where women compete for financial security) is interesting. I thought Lord Debling looking for someone honest & true versus Cressida's frankness about the life she wants very interesting and I actually think they'd make a good couple with a little work. Anyways. No Theo to be seen and that is a tragedy but I will power through 😭😭😭
His nose is so–GRAHH I need to take a seat.
