Load of problems amazon has with ROP that probably would have been ignored by casual viewers if they weren't going H2H with The Princess and the Queen. IMHO. |

And the Targaryans are all ****ed in the head, to boot. Viserys seemed to be the only one with sense in the lot, and he even sees himself as a soft king that will be soon forgotten.

Viserys' weakness is what leads to the entire civil war. |

Daemon doesn't have any redeeming qualities to me.
I guess he's supposed to be a badass fighter but so far I've only seen him get beat up by Ser Calvin Klein and kill a crippled burn victim. Robert Baratheon and Jaime Lannister were shit people but they had a certain charm that Daemon lacks, IMO. |

I do enjoy his character in the show. He's definitely an agent of chaos. Good for drama.
He's just a huge ****. |

And at some point there has to be a mononom of respect for the idea that **** the decorum, **** the politicking, **** doing shit for the sake of what anybody else thinks. Let's do shit that needs to be done. What he did with the city watch and crime in the city was commendable. And he got pissed on for it. He didn't really start stirring shit until they booted him off the council for doing precisely what was asked of him. |

He doesn't give a damn and it shows. That is pretty cool. And he definitely does care at least a little bit about his brother and niece.. |

About the most recent episode, any ideas why this dude beat the gay guy to death?
One minute they're talking about protecting their paramours and the next, dude's beating his face into a pulp for no apparent reason. |

That's what my girlfriend said, but that still leaves the Velaryion kid who knows the secret and now has a supreme grudge against you.
It also seems counterintuitive to bash a guy's brains in publicly to protect a secret. |

Being confronted with a too-smiling, smarmy knight who has a big/loud mouth and makes it apparent he knows your secret just pushed him over the edge. All Cole has is the name he has made for himself, his service in the Kingsguard. His attempt to build something more was somewhat coldly shoved back in his face by the woman he loves and respects. By killing Flowers and then himself, he protects his secret (better to be a murderer who kills himself out of guilt than a kingsguard who has "befouled" the Princess of the Realm). Except Alicent steps in. I am enjoying the way they are filling in all the little pieces of context that were left mysterious about the Dance of Dragons, Cole's turn against Rhaenyra being one of them. |

Then this Jeoffrey fool is up in here just talking about it like it's a good thing, and it pushes him over the edge and he snaps and beats that queer to death. The taking his own life bit is just so he wouldn't be gilded. That's the way I read it. |
