!kino !nooticers they say the episode is being review-bombed.
the second thread got jannied lmao
Review bombed 100%, homophobic reactions to the kiss at the end it's not a coincidence that 90% of the 1/10 reviews are from Saudi Arabia. Like seriously how does this episode have the worst rating compared to the previous one.
What about Laenor and his lover getting intimate? The show was not review bombed at all for that. Don't know if that is consistent with what the root cause for these negative reviews.
most peculiar huh?
I imagine some of the bomb ratings are homophobic but some are because of the bad writing. I would give it a 7 maybe because it's too slow, Daemon should've been in Harrenhaul for 2 episodes 3 at a push. Rhaenyra being annoyed at her son who is only trying to advise her and then goes seeking validation from a stranger who helped usurp her a matter of weeks ago. I couldn't really care less about the kiss but I'd like for it to be viewed for what is is, a mistake on Rhaenyra's part and the beginning of her downfall. And also we get this instead of a cool scene of Addam and Seasmoke or maybe Helaena visiting her sick husband's bedside or more Corlys ffs.
Lmao
I'm more surprised there's even that many folk watching it in Saudi.
Homophobia
So much islamophobia

What's up with the sapphic thing? They keep bringing up Ancient Greece when talking about lesbianism

I watched it and googled as soon as the kiss happened. As expected, it wasn't in the book. Same for Daemon fricking his own mom last week. The kiss was jammed in...ungracefully. Like they weren't hitting the gay quota and someone said "hey, we have two chicks talking alone at the end, we could just make them gay. Easy peasy."

I don't have a Reddit account. One of you decided that was worthy of copypasta?

Rhaenyra was groomed by her uncle and later husbando who took her to a brothel when she was 14.
Makes sense she decided to bang Mysaria after the latter told her a story about being r*ped by her father.

Daemon wanted to oust Rhaenyra as a whore so no man would propose to her and so she would be forced to marry him.

I would have forgiven that show much if monke girl and Alicent had gotten it on fr, old school pay cable style. No chuds are review bombing this episode over the girls kissing, it is the endless parade of tedious board meeting scenes that go nowhere plus excessive BIPOCs in silly wigs that are killing that show.

What's the in-show explanation for Corlys being a BIPOC?
Aegon the Conqueror's mother was Valaena Velaryon and Jaehaerys I mother was Alyssa Velaryon but the Targs are all white.
Asuming Corlys mother was from the Summer Islands he should be many shades lighter. In that scenario Baela and Rhaena should be only 1/8 black and the Velaryons should be BLEACHED out of existence but here they look

That their ancestors were basically the noble version of dock workers and had been blacked via generations of breeding with randos in the port (but somehow kept the hair, even those the main chicks kid lost it in 1 generation of out breeding)

tbf, we already know the GOT world's genetics don't work like real-world genetics. The main storyline of GOT kicked off with the revelation that every Baratheon descendant ever had black hair until Cersei's kids.
The BIPOC gene must work like that. Super-duper extra dominant. George RR Martin believer in the One Drop Rule confirmed .

I assume the explanation is that they already have ridiculous BIPOC names. So theyre clearly BIPOC-coded and making a mayo play then would be cultural appropriation.

Pra te dar um contexto, tinha uma cidade chamada Valyria onde os grandes lordes domavam dragões com magia de sangue. Os Valyrianos sĂŁo descritos nos livros como tendo pele branca, cabelo prateado e olhos violeta. Dai 400 anos antes de GOT 200 antes de HOTD Valyria foi destruĂda num cataclismo. Dai sĂł sobraram 3 famĂlias, Targaryen (senhores de dragões) Velaryon e Celtigar, e eles sĂł casavam entre eles ou praticavam incesto pra manter o sangue puro.
Mas por algum motivo estranho na serie fizeram os Velaryon negros com cabelo prateado, as pirucas deles sĂŁo uma bosta.

As I was watching the scene unfold I thought "these two chicks should totally scissor each other", and sure enough 5 seconds later they were making out.
The directing in this show makes everything so predictable.
Like when Rhaenys went to talk to her dragon before the fight, it totally gave away that she was about to die.
