Some Thoughts on House of The Dragon Episode 7
I just like the twist of Laenor not dying. It’s a pleasant change and frees up Rhanerya with out making her kill her husband. It additionally avoids the Bury Your Gays trope. On the opposite hand… Rhanerya and Daemon nonetheless killed an harmless man to drag off their plan. That makes them fairly evil, truthfully. I want that they had discovered a prison or one thing to make use of because the physique.
Did the present overlook about Seasmoke, Laenor’s dragon? How will he sneak off with the dragon? Later on, Saesmoke is fairly vital and has one other rider… however dragons aren’t alleged to produce other riders until one dies. It’s just a little odd.
Why was Criston Cole allowed to come back to this funeral? The Velaryons ought to hate him for ruining their son’s wedding ceremony and punching the son. Not to say killing one in all their bannermen. Feels like he ought to have been banned.
The Kingsguard suck. How do they not break up and cease the struggle between Rhanerya and Alicent? None of them intervene? How is Criston Cole, a assassin, allowed to be on the Kingsguard nonetheless? I imply two of the Kingsguard needed to go maintain him again from serving to Alicent. He ought to be gone.
Also, Alicent actually stabbed the inheritor to the throne in entrance of the entire court docket and can endure no repercussions? Kind of mad.
Truthfully, the one large difficulty I’ve with the episode is how rushed this season has been. The child stuff is dramatic, however we’ve actually simply met these characters. I want extra time had been spent on attending to know them.
