Nettles & Rhaena both had interesting and full of potential plots in the book, why didn't they just work to adapt them instead of whatever tf this is... I'm so tired of Condal & Hess
aki The issue with the writers is that instead of blaming the system that creates Alicent and the circumstances that pushes her to do what she did they put the blame on her instead by implying that she could always just "liberate" herself and humiliating her for not doing it earlier
Ryan really can't help himself... let's just throw even more prophecies that may or may not play well into the mix because god forbid characters have agency and motivations outside of the mythical and by extension let's turn Alys into a mere conduit
and here i was wasting my fucking time thinking about alys with her own person with thoughts and feelings and history, not just a prophesy machine. MY MISTAKE HBO
phoenix It’s so funny that the writers for the shows failed the lieteracy tests. Like D&D think Tywin is lawfuf neutral, Hess and Condal think f&b Alicent is the height of evilness and with how busy they were saintifying Viserys in the second season
Even if GRRM wanted to chastise D&D he cant rlly say much abt how they adapted the last seasons without directly or indirectly spoiling his remaining books,he probably also felt extra betrayed by Condal given how much he supported him at 1st which was met by lies nd fake promises
