    "The Queen That Never Was" is exactly what Rhaenys did in this episode. Showing that she could end this right now or you could choose to condemn the kingdom into war. But she knew it wasn't her fight to start so yeah she is the The Queen That Never Was.

    Or how the average viewer easily mistakes spectacle for good writing. Don't be fooled, the writing in this show is barely a step above Rings of Power and nowhere near on par with GoT s1-4. The actors are carrying the heck out of the subpar scripts they've been given, which is a testament to their talents, not the quality of the production.

    For those honestly wondering why Rhaenys didn’t end everything right then and there , we have the official explanation of “She realized Alicent was a mother, too, and couldn’t kill her” (paraphrased) The unofficial explanation is killing family members is a major no-no in Westeros and there would be nasty repercussions for Driftmark and Nyra, as well Not to mention everyone was on top of the Dragonpit with the dragons and a bunch of unclaimed dragons rampaging around King’s Landing would be a bad

    No, it's just lazy writing. Nasty repercussions? Like what? And from who? Daemon kills his lady and helped rhaenyra "kill" laenor by faking his death,both actions which drew suspicions,what was the repercussions? Nothing,all we got was a time jump Criston killed someone at a the royal wedding,disrupting the peace and then kills a member of the high council,what happens to him? Nothing. Viserys recognizes Otto's ambition and fires him for his machinations........only to rehire him years later,WHY? JUST FUCKING WHY? Rhaenys is valaryon and targaryen,2 of the most powerful houses in westeros,and she has a dragon, killing the usurpers would put daemon and rhaenyra (right heir) in her good graces,who the fuck would question them and not get fucked? This show pushed the idea that the "realm" wouldn't take rhaenyra as queen yet only the hightowers are shown to oppose her.

    Tyland is saying that the plan to install Aegon in place of Rhaenyra has been in the works for some time, most likely since Otto was reinstated as Hand. Lord Beesbury is saying that Viserys was alive the night before at dinner, and this morning (about 2 or 3am) the King is dead. Because of the way this video is edited,we don't hear Lord Beesbury's broad accusations of regicide.

    This was actually one of the weakest episodes for me. Except for Rhaenys rolling up on her dragon like the boss she is!

    They have chosen their side. (And from what I'm seeing its the majority) Its not hypocrisy. It's just their choice.

    @@AuntieL_ATL Not really their choice, more like the manipulative writing and editing of the show. Notice how the Greens always get scenes in dark lighting with ominous music even in situations that would otherwise make the viewers sympathetic. It's the oldest trick in the book.
