HOUSE OF THE DRAGON 1.07 Driftmark | 2.01 A Son For A Son

“A son for a son” is the cruelest and deadbeat thing they could’ve had Rhaenyra demand from Alicent after the beaheading of Jaehaerys. Like her shock and horror at daemon earlier doesn’t even exist anymore. It was just lip service to make Rhaenyra look good at the time, but in the moment it counts to say something, all she wants is to make alicent suffer. And for what? Is Luke not avenged properly? All the dead smallfolk they have Rhaenyra pine over, and she can’t even muster a shred of sympathy for a murdered baby and then makes his grandmother choose between the fate of the rest of her family for the beheading of her wounded son. Like. What the fuck. What the fuck? Who are these characters because I can’t even make sense of them anymore. What the hell even was the point of blood and cheese now??

OLIVIA COOKE as ALICENT HIGHTOWER — 1.07 | "Driftmark"

On some level Alicent has to be wondering if this is an insane wet dream like she really opened her eyes mid-prayer to Rhaenyra kneeling next to her dressed like a nun and offering either a genuine conversation or a murder-suicide, it’s all she’s ever wanted
