Yeah, I think they're playing it all to show her short lived reconciliation with Rhaenyra. I'm open to being wrong. But it looks to me like Aemond is going to go off the rails at some point either way. The misunderstanding thing seems cheap. But like I said, I'm open to being a moron here.

I wasn't feeling great about Daemon being a COLOSSAL **** a fair bit of the time. It seemed fairly annoying. However, when they panned the camera to him in a place that it felt like he should be a ****, and he was very solemn and contrite, obviously caring for and respecting his suffering brother. Got that hit like a truck. Fantastic. Not a single word of dialogue, but super impactful scene. So yeah, I could be wrong here.

I think that was the point. He got the dragon then went from dork to bad ass. They may have went a touch overboard, but that was absolutely intentional IMO.

RE: Strong kids, they're obviously a fair bit younger. I THINK Aegon is supposed to be 19ish and Aemond is supposed to be 16ish. So if the Strong kids are 13 and 10 (I don't know, there are probably some dork videos out there that know how old they are to the day, but whatever that's how I see it) their weakness is probably appropriate.

I hope, as the war gets started at least one of them will become a Billy Badass. I loved Harlan going after Cole. I know it was a scripted fight, but that dude seemed like he had HEAVY ass hands. Gimme some more of that.

I can't stand Cole, he seems like a smug prick who got dumped so he figures to be as big an ass as possible.

Yeah he's a **** and he was the one that basically dump Rhaenyra, because she wouldn't run off with him.

The biggest **** award goes to Otto Hightower. I hate that mother****ing weasel and can't stand when it shows him. The guy and his daughter Alicent act so high and mighty, but had been keeping Viserys drugged so they could do whatever they want with the kingdom. Felt awesome when Viserys came into the throne room to interrupt the bullshit.

I think Matt Smith is the more impressive performance, strictly because he is almost devoid entirely of dialogue.

Condisdine is really good though, and if he won an Emmy I'd probably stand and cheer. He was really ****ing good. I don't know if it was him, or posted sound effects, but they even worked in a death rattle. Impressive.

And I know I keep harping on it, but it is some really impressive writing that early on he didn't know what he was doing, made bad decisions and everybody did whatever the **** he wanted. Then later, he's grown into a much stronger and infinitely wiser and better leader, and nobody listens to a ****ing thing he says. Without beating you over the head with it, it's a goddamned good choice and well executed.

The Strong kids have been left behind by the men in Kings Landing/their lives who would otherwise help them become masculine. Daemon probably isn’t involved with them. Their pretend Dad wasn’t exactly present or raising them to be fighters. Their actual father wasn’t around for long but was the only one we see encouraging them to train but he couldn’t be as involved as he liked. And Sir Christian, who was most responsible for training the boys in fighting, had no desire and in fact preferred to humiliate them and instead focused on Aemond who he considers the true heir.

It makes a lot of sense that they would grow up a little weaker and less accomplished with swords and weapons.

True, but they've been at Dragonstone since the marriage of their mother to her uncle. Someone should be Master at Arms in Dragonstone.
