the casting for younger and older Alicent was PERFECTION, they are amazing actresses and I think they look like younger and older versions of each other!
She is really an interesting character like Cersei. Big difference is that Alicent is extremely loyal, chaste and often torn between duty and love. A very realistic portrayal of Medieval queen. House of the Dragon is all about the glory and magnificence of Targaryen dynasty but still Alicent's character shines as the beacon of the Hightower. 💚💚💚💚

but they had the same fate, alicient loved her king husband, and gave him the kingdom he always wanted, took care of him in dying years, and gave him three heirs to the throne, but it still wasnt enough, and she lived in his dead wife shadow, and she should have been allowed a happy ending by the author, have her fall in love with cole, leave court alive, with her kids, and live their lives out in country side, and let her former best friend have the throne, with her groomer uncle, just leave alicient in peace
I know people don't like this version of her in the show but as a book reader both versions are great and I think in S2 or S3 we will see that villainous side of her ( I hope) and Oliva has done a marvelous job

I'm afraid that they will leave her a passive player, even though she collected the green council in f&b!!! I really want to see her do terrible things, but things that really affect the history of dance. I love her soft, tragic side, but now I need my evil green queen 👑💚

But I fear there isn't all that much that Alicent does in the book, her sons take over after the war begins. I wish they hadn't reduced her to be nothing but a pawn to Otto and a gullible woman who acts on a misinterpretation. They set up the enmity between her and Rhaenyra fairly well, she as destined to be her antagonist, she should have schemed to put Aegon on the throne on her own accord.

This version of Alicent (in the show) is so much better, more complex, more nuanced, it is my favorite character of th whole show! Obviously she will do horrible things in the escalation of the conflict, just like Rhaenyra. This is the point of the story, how this horrible conflict will trap everyone in a revenge and retaliation cycle.

This is out of this world fanastic; Alicent is definitely my favourite character in the series (not because I think she's right or good) but because I think she's one of the most complex characters on the show and Olivia Cooke has done a fantastic job. I know not all book readers are happy about her interpretation in the show but the book was never the "truth" it was rumour and hersay.

Rooting for Alicent
Alicent is like a nice and a more political version of Cersei, at least that's how I see her. Much more interesting and complex as well. She has good qualities to her for sure and isn't lusting uncontrollably for power. Very sensible and wise. Her relationship with Otto is highly entertaining and is one of the most important characters in season 1. Can't wait for it to continue.
No words how this tribute represents her so well
Oh that was breathtaking!! Such epic editing and amazing voiceovers!
Neither side is evil but Alicent isn't wrong. Rhaneyra was selfish and ignores the reality of the politics of Westeros. How could she trust that she'd truly spare her children when she'd lied so much? How could she believe them to be safe when her husband and their father would take people's heads for speaking the truth.

Alicent is wrong. How she gonna want to ignore rhaenyras claim to the throne and the kings wishes, and to allow her drunken and rapist son to be king when he never wanted to be. I agree that neither side is evil, but rhaenyra ain’t selfish. She always put others before herself and tried to hard to stop this war that’s coming

The entire point is both sides are fucked and this is a family tragedy rather than good guys vs not.

I don't think it has anything to do with 'following men'. She supports her blood over another womans child, no different than any other westerosi noblewoman we have seen on screen such as Cersei or Catelyn. In the show they framed her as this victim of the patriarchy but in the book the queen just wants her son on the throne because of course she does. And even in the show Alicent was pretty quick to 'misinterpret' Viserys final words.

@@Zephur0s absolutely true... Everything Rhaenyra has she owes to men. Her whole conduct, such as it is, with her three Strong boys, is only possible because a male relative enables her to.

Alicent is actually right. Her own intentions maybe of greed and power but in the end she is stopping Rhaeneyra from putting bastards on the iron throne. Can't believe people are actually rooting for Rhaeneyra's cause. Yes she is supposed to be queen but then what? Her sons will sit on it which is wrong.

Rhaeneyra’s sons were claimed by her husband Laenor as his biological sons so legally they aren’t bastards. It also doesn’t matter who their father is in this scenario because it is Rhaeneyra’s blood connection to the throne that they need to inherit it, not the father’s.

It’s Rhaeneyra’s blood they need to inherit it, not their father’s. Honestly it’s just a really weak argument to use against Rhaeneyra’s side, especially as she has two more sons with Daemon who are pure Targaryen, and could therefore be chosen as heirs.

@@Mimikinn 1. the fact that Laenor recognized them does not greatly affect the political situation, otherwise other houses would not have joined the greens. we are literally shown that everyone knows that in reality Jace, Luke and Joffrey are not the biological children of Laenor, but those who talk about it are waiting for the fate of Vaemond🥰 and if Laenor recognized them legally as his children, why does Rhaenyra worry about rumors, like it's just rumors girl, if you're innocent, there's no need to panic. 2. I am sure that they are at least 50% Targaryen, but the whole point is that only legitimate children can claim the throne like Rhaenyra or Aegon II, but Jace, Luke and Joffrey were born out of wedlock. you know, it's like in Westeros treason on the part of the heiress, because it would be fine if they were bastards, but Rhaenyra wants to transfer the throne to Jace, which again leads to a political crisis in the country. 3. I have no questions about the rights to the throne of Aegon III and Viserys, but Rhaenyra initially did not want to put children from Daemon on the throne, no, for some reason she chose Jace and in fact spoiled her reputation in Westeros. I think if Aegon III would have been named her heir immediately before the dance, there would have been much less problems 🤷🏽♀️

In Westerosi society (just like medieval society), girls do what their king and their father asks of them. Alicent is what she was raised to be: a dutiful, loyal and obedient daughter and wife. But she later realises that to keep her and her family and her children safe, she needs to become a different sort of animal - the same on the surface but underneath, she must be observant, shrewd, paranoid and utterly ruthless.
