To everyone asking why Rhaenyra is even allowing Alicent to push her around like this. The way I interpret is that 1. If Rhaenyra doesn’t do it, they’ll just say that she’s trying to hide the baby. There’s already that rumour in court that the kids aren’t Laenor’s. 2. To portray Rhaenyra as weak because of chilbirth/babies and therefore unfit to rule. The already misogynistic lords of Westeros will definitely jump on that bandwagon. 3. Alicent knows how painful childbirth is and what happened to Rhaenyra’s mother, so this is another powerplay by her.
The dynamic here between Laenor and Rhaenyra is everything and communicates so much about them in just a few lines – their loyalty to one another, their affection – the look Rhaenyra shoots him when he asks if it was painful giving birth! 😆 And Laenor’s mounting rage that Alicent would put Rhaenyra in this position – straight up ride or die for his cousin-wife-friend right there!
this was cruel.. by laenor velaryon and rhaenyra’s reaction this is not the first time alicent has done this to them, imagine having to go through this every time you give birth to a child, and alicent knows that rhaenyra’s mother, aemma arryn, died in childbirth, she does this to humiliate her stepdaughter as well as checking the babies’ appearance to see if they are legitimate. I loved the complicity and friendship of rhaenyra and laenor it seems like they are making the best of their situation
as if I couldn’t hate Alicent more…. Outright cruel of her to summon her literally moments after birth. And wow, I’m gonna miss Milly but I’m so excited to see Emma as Rhaenyra!! Incredible already in this short clip. And I’m loving Rhae and Laenor’s friendship in the show. So supportive of her and seems like he’d be a great dad to “his” kids. Team Black 🖤
I genuinely look forward each week to sitting down and perusal this each Sunday night. That is rare these days with all the garbage that is put out and how streaming changed the game. This has become appointment television again. Props to HBO and the writers and everyone involved. Please keep this up.
Alicent obviously wants to humiliate her. But she is the heir to the throne and just gave birth. This could be life-threatening for her and the child being away from the safe internment of the nursery, why does she go with it? Pride is pride, but telling that she is not feeling well would have shown more power for her dismissing the Queen and at the same time having a valid excuse to not look like she is dismissing her. If I was her I wouldn’t have moved a finger and if she insisted I would have proclaimed that she tries to put my life in danger, and harm my child. Not sure how Viserys was at that moment but his wife died/”prematurely murdered” in childbirth so his queen putting in danger his daughter after childbirth wouldn’t sit well with him I am sure. Then again maybe it’s the period when he was ill and Alicent ruled hor him. Anyway seems bizarre that Raenhyra and her husband who despite everything seems to care for her as a friend lets this to happen. Can’t wait to see the episode and the entire context of this situation.
someone said daemon couldn’t do anything bc alicent is the queen but let me remind yall at the wedding daemon was the only one who doesn’t bother to stand up when alicent came to the salon. he doesn’t even see her as a queen. if daemon would see this scene alicent would meet dark sister. or she would had a little ‘accident’.
This was just cruel on Alicent’s part. I know she was trying to see the baby and confirm whether he was Laenor Velaryon’s or not but she could have come and seen the baby herself or she could have given Rhaenyra time to rest and heal a bit before summoning her. She did this to cause her physical pain and that’s messed up.
Lot of people side with Alicent because she was made to wed Viserys while she was 16/17 and he was close to 40 and she never cheated on him and caried their children. But Rhaenyra was made to wed Leanor and it was not secret he wasnt into women. So Rhaenyra got pregnant with another man’s children but Leanor accepted that. He accepted the children as his own. She was also only a child when wed. They became enemies the moment Alicent married Viserys.
I had hoped Laenor and Rhae would keep their friendship but this is truly lovely and more than I could ever ask,, he’s so very supportive!! His smile at the start is so sweet, regardless of the children’s paternity it’s clear he cares for them which is more than most men there Emma’s acting does shine in this scene, and this really states how bad Rhaenyra and Alicent’s relationship is, imagine making a mother drag herself out of labor bed with her child
Emma is a great casting choice as the main protagonist for the rest of the series. The acting is top notch! If the trailer was anything to go by, the performance will be very strong! Since Rhaenyra is a mother of at least 3 children, it makes sense to not use a young girl and “age” with the show like some of you have said below. It makes no sense to drag a story out for that long when the “Targaryen civil war” starts when Viserys dies.
Alicent has no freaking right to summon Rhaenyra just after she has delivered a baby. I get that she wants to see if the baby is a Targaryen however the woman just gave freaking birth. She needs to rest. Alicent can come to her instead. I’m already Team Black. ((After perusal this episode, Alicent still had no right to want to see the child just after she gave birth to the child. No matter the rumor of who the father is. I’m glad Rhaenyra went herself to Alicent so Alicent cannot pull her 100% BS in front of her when her father is in the room to see the newborn. I cannot wait for the next episode.)) Thanks for uploading.
Alicent is really coming for Rhaenyra’s throat here. Summoning her after she had just given birth, forcing her to walk through the lords and ladies of the court while sweating and in pain. I hope that when she stopped abruptly in front of the steps was just because of post partum incontinence and was just leaking faeces and not blood. Of all her pregnancies only one had been difficult, at least in the book so I hope they won’t change that in the show as they had done a really good job so far. Love the banter between Rhaenyra and Laenor. He seems so in awe and respectful towards her and it seems she is at ease with him and relays on him plenty. In the book I always had the feeling that they never, or at least very rarely, slept with each other or that they never got along at all, as Rhae was allegedly reluctant about marrying Laenor, but I am happy they are at least friends and have found peace in each other. It makes me almost sad that none of her kids are actually his. I always found it funny how such an astute woman as Rhaenyra could have been so reckless and not make sure AT LEAST her fist born boy was fathered by her husband. But I bet the Maesters are somehow behind it. I mean, she had been sleeping with Cole quite a lot, considering how he is so obsessed with her, and I gather she had been drinking the Moon Tea regularly since she had never gotten pregnant while she was with Cole. But somehow magically since she had taken Harwin as her lover she gives birth to three healthy and strong babies, one right after the other, that look just like him and nothing like her and her Valiryan husband?
You can definitely tell rhaynera’s children are going to be more loved after them alicents because they don’t turn into monsters. Rhaynera looks at them like a mother should not a cold uncaring way like alicent treats her kids. Considering rhaynera’s children are accepted by rhaynera, laenor, visery’s and laenors family as well as daemon in the future says a lot.
i am s t u n n e d by Emma already? their acting!! the line delivery, expressions, and also the chemistry between both older actors is top notch and this is only 1 minute scene! hbo is blowing my mind atm ~ this luckily will shut up everyone who were hating on Emma ❤ can’t wait to see Matt and Emma’s interactions btw <3
So after giving birth at home to my youngest a tornado had touched down which meant that we needed to get to the basement. So my husband rushed the baby downstairs and assisted me to go downstairs as well. I remember it hurt so badly and then going back upstairs after it was over was just as painful. Birth and then stairs is no joke 😩💀
Regardless of how good the new actors are, it’s a tough ask of any show to make the audience reconnect to new actors mid way through a season that has been brilliant thus far. It is the right move though because of the story taking place over a 20 year span and it provides would’ve been harder to make 2 girls who look and sound like teenagers believable mature adult mothers. I’m already feeling good from this clip about the show executing the time jump and part 2 of the season being just as good if not better.
I’ve always backed The Blacks since Fire and Blood came out. I admit that I wavered slightly with how sympathetic young Alicent was, but it wasn’t enough to sway me. As someone who recently gave birth and had an unpleasant time of it, this scene solidified my stance. Alicent is the worst, and all of the blood and suffering that follows is on her hands.
