The Princess and the Queen 10 year time jump and I must say, Emma D'Arcy and Olivia Cook killed their first outings as Rhaenyra and Alicent.
This episode principally deals with the Strong Boys, Rhaenyra's children, and how their parentage is a source of contention between Rhaenyra and Alicent.
The growing contempt is perfect, yet tragic, and Alicent's horror at Larys' actions highlights that her madness is one of circumstance.
On the note of there not being a protagonist, has anyone actually read ASOIAF, or watched Thrones.
I can forgive GoT watchers as D&D dropped the ball when they moved past the books.
Martin writes about people, not heroes, in fact heroes die quickly in his world because they are unrealistic.
All his characters are capable of doing great good, and great evil. That's what makes them compelling.
