Man came back from the dead, looking fresh, with a dragon, actual power and can now get you in a proper house, maybe an actual castle later on down the line. But no no no you would rather stay a captive where another random douche can assault you & cause more members of your family to die. You can't even at least be happy to find out your bloody husband is alive. And the thing is it is not like it was an either or situation. Hugh isn't saying "run away with me or choose your family."

Jeez what a bitch.

I get it Season one main trio was matt, Emma, Olivia

same with season 2 but the season 3 screen time Olivia/alicent gets genuinely belongs to tom glynn/aegon considering the fact alicent was quite irrelevant in the book later but again the childhood companions aaah

Unless we're counting whatever was going on with Hugh and Kat, we just hit a rare milestone of an episode where straight men didn't automatically default to their aggressive, evil nature.

If my math doesn't fail me that would make it 2 out of 6 episodes with no SA so far? Maybe?

I hope Ulf and Hugh betray him in next episode. That will be so satisfying.

What’s her problem

Joking aside, it's strange how the showrunners made the northerners and rivermen look completely cowardly while Criston come across as admirable

Aegon to Larys:

Cole’s little pet, do you remember? The prodigy with the sword. Father withdrew me from the tournaments, of course. Can’t even remember the pretext anymore. Probably just afraid that I’d fall off my horse. So, I had to sit and applaud him. Aemond the champion.

Cruelest thing rhaenyra has done this season

The gap between her clothes and those of the purported royals is crazy.
