Dumb question and maybe I missed something butwhy was Otto in what appears to be a prison?
rhaena wins the award for least-equipped 3-day solo backpackinghow have they not sent a search party lol
It's the first we've seen of it, but we've been told that there's been fighting in the Reach since Cole murdered the head of one of its noble houses late last season (the Beesburies). We also know that Alicent has been having trouble getting a hold of her father since he left KL.That makes sense
It's honestly so weird they're spending so much time on this Rhaena quest. She's barely been a character before this, and it just seems a bit lackluster when Rhaenyra just added three new dragons to her stable. They're building it up is like it's gonna be a big deal, but we currently have little reason to think her getting a dragon is gonna make much of an impact on anything.They are merging her with a character they cut out from the books. And in case it wasn't already obvious enough Ulf and Hugh aren't trustworthy in the eyes of almost everyone at that dinner.

Wow, apparently this entire season only covered about 30 pages worth of material.IIRC They cut a lot of stuff but also added a bunch. Almost all the Alicent and Rhaenyra scenes are not in the books. They also cut out another dragonrider. Daemon's hallucinations at Harrenhal never happened, because the Riverlords didn't need convincing in the books, they all declared for Rhaenyra and even the farmers marched in arms.
And you might be thinking 'Well, Fire and Blood isn't like a normal book, so 30 pages might be a lot or it might be a little in terms of events.' But no. Season 1 was 60 pages. The craziest thing is how many scenes were cut down or removed, too. So, like, out of those 30 pages, they didn't even use all of the source material they had available. Mathematically speaking, this season is probably more than half filler. That is some Naruto level filler hell.
hugh catching strays thereJace didn't seem to trust either of them, and only Addam seems to get their approval because I'm guessing they figure he's probably Corlys' bastard but not straight up saying it. It's why Rhaenyra trusted him enough to go to Harrenhal as a backup in the event Daemon turned on her.
ulf is so obviously a villain waiting to happen, but hugh has been a stand-up guy so far
Almost all the Alicent and Rhaenyra scenes are not in the books.
Rhaenyra and Alicent trying to straighten out their yuribait feelings that lead absolutely nowhere. Kinda like how Robb and Joffrey had that passionate one night stand when Joffrey stay at Winterfell in the beginning of GoT... wait that never happened...
it was a reference to the scene where Robb sneaks into King's Landing to have a chat with Joffrey, and beg him not to execute Ned
I am so disappointed to read Season 3 isn't even beginning production until sometime next year. I hate the current TV landscape so much.
neither of those two things happened in S2 so the rest of the series is gonna be a mess.You can speed it up a bit and have S3&4 wrapped up nicely into one season. The end of the Dance is just as intriguing as the Dance itself. The final few chapters with the
If I had a nickel for every time an entry in the ASOIAF franchise had its last section cut out and reserved for the next one leaving it ending unsatisfactorily with no climax and two big battles being set up Id have two nickels, which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice.
I don't know why they spent 10 minutes character assassinating someone that already got character assassinated this entire season. I can't fucking believe that Alicent on Dragonstone scene was real.????????
