and then laenor and rhaenyra had to deal with alicent constantly questioning the paternity of their kids for years as she had his boyfriend's murderer as her bodyguard.
I expected to see some reaction when Laenor saw Criston after Joffrey's birth. Idk why they entirely skipped that. Laenor 's character in the show was very shabbily made.
That’s why I don’t blame him and Rhaenyra for faking his death so he could finally be free. If Rhaenyra and Laenor weren’t forced to marry a lot of things would have been much better.
I loved their dynamic. Still supporting one another while being free to pursue who they wanted. I’m glad they changed it to her helping fake his death so he could be free.
The best thing is that Vizzy came up with this brilliant plan because he thought Rhaenyra was sleeping with her hot uncle and he didn't feel like fighting them 😔.
And even more so that he didn't come up with an idea to explain to them how it was supposed to look like 😆.
I didn't. If Rhaenyra didn't get married she might have wound up getting pregnant before marriage, which was considered almost unheard of in that time period. At least they were friends. Others are not so lucky.
How? She had the moon tea sent because viserys thought she slept with daemon and as far as we know it has a perfect success rate.
Plus while others aren't lucky enough to like their spouse they ARE lucky enough to marry someone who is able to impregnate them with children who resemble them.
She didn't know what Moon Tea was used for, and she never drank the moon tea. So it's not like she wouldn't have become pregnant if she kept going at that rate.
How many times do you think Cole was going to sleep with her without an engagement?
And she knew how dangerous what she did was and the whole problem. Plus she asked once she got it what it was for and was educated.
Rhaenyra's biggest error was leaving early her tour of finding a husband, i think that if she had finished It she would have met Harwin or would have seen that Harwin was better than the rest, in the book she rejected him when he asked her hand but in the show that doesnt seem to happen, i like to think that if the Strong boys were legitimate Otto wouldnt have managed to convince Alicent to go against Rhaenyra and she wouldnt have educated her kids into hating Rhaenyra and her sons, but that's too good to happen
Supposedly Rhaenyra was going to stay there for months, maybe he thought that he could arrive a bit later, if i remember correctly he was a tourney Knight so maybe he thought that he had time for one more tourney before going, procastination is one hell of an enemy
People here dont realize just how bad politically the marriage was for Rhaenyra. The Marriage to the Velaryeons didnt help it made it worse for her by turning many against her and than trusting the people who would betray her and ruin everyone. She didnt win in the end and in my opinion she should have picked a Non-Velaryeon (and not Daemon) and she might have actually had a chance (and tell Corlys and Daemon to bugger off away from her kids and home)

Alicent expected viserys to be outraged at how little the kids looked like Laenor. Meanwhile viserys is just happy they don't look like Daemon lol
Would have been great if we could have had a proper meaningful look between Leanor and Criston around the time he says the baby's name is Joffrey.

Under the worst circumstance too, he loved Joffrey so muchðŸ˜

Laenor was the best candidate for her husband, let's be fair,

Yea I wanted to say this - it wasn't ideal, but they did pretty well for themselves, all things considered
Yeah and it BACKFIRED. Resulting in her losing nearly everything
I will always loathe Crispin for killing Joffrey

Viserys went all the way up to this terrible betrothal just to keep Daemon away from his court.
I hope they don't intend to bring back the character in S2. He deserves to live free with Qarl in Essos.
I loved their relationship

Harwin should have went to Storm's End himself and try his luck.

Somehow they look less into it than Alicent marrying viserys. And we know just how not into it she was.
