    Poor Daeron. Gwayne said he let Ormund win when they were young. Daeron hasn’t learned that lesson yet.

    Larys telling Aegon that not only was he a terrible ruler, he’s a terrible person was excellent.

    Also surprise Lannister. I also wonder what his plan was prior to running into Aegon & Larys. My best guess is he had some Lannister sigils and hired a few sell swords to get him home, they do always pay their debts after all.

    And of course Rhaenyra and Daemon just chatting in Valyrian at the Sept was cool.

      My question is what even is Tyland’s role in the story anymore? Why would the writers fake kill him off, to bring him back in a position where he can no longer play out his story from the books? What is his narrative purpose now? I assume the writers have a reason.

        I haven’t read the books yet, but I’ve been wondering what Aegon’s story is going to be. He goes east, maybe gets some soldiers, but he’ll never have enough to come back.

        Plus, he’s a shit king.

        But maybe that’s the idea. Larys was going to take him east where they both just grow old and die. Tyland is going to “force” them to stay in Westeros. From that Aegon will learn more about war and grow to be a better person.

        Then, if basically everyone else dies, Aegon can return as King and be at least ok at it.

        I know the “Dance of Dragons” is the end of dragons, but I don’t know if that’s literal. And I guess if everyone who has a dragon dies… Then yeah… Basically everyone would be dead. Alicent has ruling knowledge and could help Aegon be a salvageable king.

          Oh, is this not a spoiler thread? Sorry! I’m still used to how things worked on Reddit, and there, there’d be a spoiler thread and a non-spoiler thread. I guess here in the Fediverse we only have one due to low user count for now?

          I just checked my other comment, and it doesn’t seem to spoil anything, but I was talking about the books, so not spoiling anything was just dumb luck. I’ll be more mindful going forward.

            I wouldn’t blame you if you did. In theory this community is more book focused, but I figure there are only like 6 people actively commenting, so I trust people to spoiler things if it wasn’t in the show.

            If we had more people separate threads make sense. Maybe someday.
