Every time I watch this, I'm so distracted by the umbrella guy just spinning that thing like a top in the background!!!

Sir Criston winning moron of the year award! Zero chill lol

Catherine Patron

Well obviously I don't think he would tell people the real reason behind needing to be let go. I realize by this point that Alicent already knew so it's too late for that.

i’m not a criston fan (ew) but i will say that in the first few episodes (which span over multiple years) we see rhaenyra basically begging to be let go of her duties. she told alicent in ep 1 that she wanted to travel the world with alicent on her dragon, who’s to say she didn’t say that to see criston? he didn’t know that she had just gotten served a huge prophecy that changed her view on ruling, to his knowledge she hated the idea of duties and such. also sleeping with the princess would get him killed, no one cares if she led him to do that, he sullied her and that’s important in this time. he would not be let go

Alicent with Westeros' version of the revenge dress

The amount of times I feel like saying fuck Otto during this show 🤣

Ser Jeoffrey wasn’t Laenor’s “side piece”, they were lovers :( Which is why it elicited such a strong reaction from him, he’s genuinely heartbroken

Gabriela Popescu

My man Criston has no emotional regulation. Also pleaseeee finish the series before the new year, I won’t be able to wait weeks 😬

Jess M.C

It made me smile when you said “ooo they’re all prancing now” lol

Criston unfortunately didn't react well to Rhaenyra's rejection and her "indecent proposal" -- I get it that he was risking everything when he slept with her and that he was in a really bad position because technically she was his boss, so there was a huge power imbalance. But did he honestly expect her to run away to Essos with him? What did he realistically think the outcome would be? It sucks but if he couldn't take it he should have requested a change in position or asked to leave the Kingsguard entirely. I get that it's a lifetime oath but I'm sure exceptions have been and can be made if someone isn't up for the job anymore. Instead he chose to stick around and stew in his anger and we get Criston Cole 2.0: homicidal maniac 😬

Jess M.C

I always wonder about how they get everything in writing lol

Having my post work/post dinner glass of wine and buckling up for this one!

Really excited for you to see the time jump with the older cast!

I don't think Criston planned anything. I think he suddenly saw red. He was very hurt about Rhaenyra rejecting him, asking him to be her whore, breaking his oath etc and i think Ser Joffrey telling him "Hey i know about you and Rhaenyra" and stuff (which sounded to me a little bit like a threat tbh) was too much in that moment. After that he thought he first broke his oath and now killing a guy at a royal wedding would be his death anyway and so he decided to do it by himself.

i love that brad laughs at everything daemon does and says coz sameee

DanInMuc

Poor Laenor. Chadley is a total whack job.

Hannah Yates

so many harwin sneaks in this ep i didn’t notice when i watched it the first time before i knew how obsessed id be with him in the next episode can’t wait for tomorrow

GrayAlien

"that was the most polite fuck you ive ever seen" lol are we allowed to say fuck in the comments on patreon? guess im gonna fucking find out

callum

Criston’s situation essentially boils down to his honour as a knight and a kingsguard, and the fact that he’s common-born. If he’s not a kingsguard he’s nothing, so when he broke his oath by sleeping with Rhaenyra, he put EVERYTHING on the line, including his life, and was ridden with guilt afterwards. That’s why he was so desperate to tell someone that he just blurted it out to Alicent, why he killed Joffrey (Laenor’s bf) when he essentially threatened to spill his secret, and why he tries to off himself afterwards. Truly in his deranged fuckboy era 💕

Char

Cole definitely doesn’t like Nyra anymore, he feels rejected and like he gave up his vows for nothing. Like it was really serious for him and then not serious for her at all. Likely didn’t plan to off himself until after the wedding after he realized what he’d done.

GrayAlien

omg i needed this i just spend so much on Christmas presents that i was getting anxiety

Amanda Hill

I’m not even sure Crispy knew why he did it. He’s just…ugh, impulsive and unpredictable. Laenor and Rhaenyra, my favorite besties ❤️ Loving these reactions!

Mike Carpenter

Criston Cole is kind of an impulsive, unstable weirdo and this episode is the best example IMO

Offred84

I don't think Sir Cole likes her. I think he's just super bitter about being rejected.

Kassandra Rodriguez

Brad I have been looking forward to thisssss🫢

june

lord larys telling alicent the flower in the courtyard isn’t a native and shouldn’t be thriving here was definitely shade to the targaryens. they're from essos originally, before the doom of valyria and aegon's conquest of all of westeros
