Points will be awarded for any or no reason.
It took almost four hours and multiple flubbed land-based murder schemes, but we have a dragon fight.Multipledragon fights.
It was unavoidable, really.
And Criston sure is dumb about it all.
Or was it more a crime of opportunity?
Did he see Aegon in the sky and figure hed never get a better shot?
Waslast weeks humiliationin front of Sylvi the final straw?
I suppose thats four questions, technically.
Dont worry, I have more.
I know,I should have mentioned Rhaenysby now.
Im too sad to talk about it in the intro.
Anyway …
…
Its dragon time, baby.
Rhaenyra Targaryen: 7 points
Rhaenrya is trying.
She is really trying.
Thats more than you’re free to say for most of the cretins on this show.
She risked her life to go undercover and sneak into enemy territory to talk to Alicent.
She tried for peace.
She preached patience to the bloodthirsty council who talks down to her.
She held back longer than anyone else would.
Daemon would have done that.
Daemon would have done that in the season premiere, if not much, much earlier.
I worry about Rhaenyra.
Things do not end well for the peacemakers around these parts.
At least Criston called her the Whore of Dragonstone.
She should ask the maester if theres a tea for this, too.
This made me sad.
Its a bummer that shes killed by freaking Aemond, too.
Rhaenys was one of the few characters on this show who deserves better.
Which is, probably, why she had to die here.
I should have known she was a goner as soon as that happened.
I hope she starts haunting Daemon in his visions next.
So he gets one point.
Aegon Targaryen: 0 points
Okay, two possibilities here …
- Aegon is dead.
could torch him out of the sky.
Just classic petulant loser behavior, but with a dragon.
- Same as everything in the first point but he survives with massive injuries.
God, imagine how much worse hell be then.
The whining will be incessant.
Even then, its tough to feel sympathy for him.
(Headless body, insides revealed to be ash, etc.)
But I dont know.
If he lives, its gonna be a whole thing.
Well add a fraternal war to the already bubbling and confusing inter- and intra-family chaos.
Daemon Targaryen: 0 points
THERAPIST: How have things been going since our last visit?
pouring drinks for me.
THERAPIST: We should circle back to the visions at some point.
But yes, lets open with the good news.
THERAPIST: [sighs, pinches bridge of nose] Lets go back to the visions.
Criston Cole: -500 points
I feel like I do not need to explain this.
And thats just the stuff everyone knows!
Maybe shes a little off.
Baela Targaryen: 6 points
ON ONE HAND: Ser Alfred does kind of have a point.
I said as much in this very scorecard.
I swear Im not angry.
Im just … disappointed.
Helaena Targaryen: 3 points
Helaena doesnt even do anything in this episode.
Mysaria: 5 points
I like that Mysaria very literally lurks in the shadows this week.
There is enough reading between the lines on this show.
Were going to do more of it in the next section.
Sometimes its nice to be straight-up bashed in the head with a hammer.
Metaphorically, I mean.
kindly do not bash me in the head with a hammer.
Or anywhere else, really.
I cannot stress this point in strong enough terms: No bashing Brian with a hammer.
Alyn: 6 points
Corlys is Alyns father, yes?
Is that what were getting at here?
With Rhaenys telling Corlys that she knows who Alyn is and that Alyn doesnt deserve to be hidden away?
And that face she makes while shes saying this?
I will be mad at Corlys if this turns out to be true.
Maybe Im just still sad about Rhaenys.
Either way, this is why he only got two points this week.
Actions have consequences, Corlys.
I have no clue if well see him again.
But hell always have these seven points if not.
He is the most relatable character on this show.
Its not even close, really.
A perfect television character.
