    I feel so bad for Helaena. It was either choose one child or they both die alongside herself. What else was she supposed to do? The only thing she could do was take her surviving child while the two were distracted and get out of there as fast as she could. Even though it didn’t look like it, I could tell that she 100% felt emotion. She was just in shock from the horrifying moment.

      Yeah people had issues with the changes here but the sort of muted/disassociated feeling worked really well imo there. Like, rather than having everything being fast pace, fast cuts, high octane, freaking out, the sort of slow sad numbness of it was visceral and scary in its own way.

      It happens a little different in the books. Blood and Cheese break into the queen's bedroom and force her between which child die and they kill the other child. It is not known who hired them but it's assumed someone from team Black did it. Although there is a theory Aemond hired them so Aegon would be spurred into attacking.

      Exactly for one she is a dragon dreamer, she has premonitions but she doesn't know what it means exactly until it's happening. She also is portrayed like a Neurodivergent person or someone on the Autism spectrum, they don't respond to stress or trauma in the way others would expect. Most people think of fight or flight as a response in a situation like that but there is also Freeze when you are frozen with fear and Fawn which is when you do exactly what you are told to do to avoid being harmed too or avoid conflict. She may have thought if she angered them or didn't do what they said they would kill all of them.

      I mean, what chance of peace was there? Rhaenyra probably was just going to build up a larger alliance to pressure the greens into surrendering and if not, just kill them. Not to mention, Aemond's main weakspot, was the resentment for Lucerys who took his eye. So its hard to base his entire rule of over how he handled himself on the one main person he wanted vengeance over, not too mention it was not even intentional (he understood the weight of his actions, unlike some).

      Aemond would literally be the worst king out of all these characters. The show is portraying Aegon is this incompetent buffoon, and while he certainly wasn't a good in king the book, he was far better for it than Aemond. Aemond is a complete idiot but Ryan Condal continues to whitewash him and portray him as someone that would make a far better king than Aegon when that's certainly not the truth.

    Blood and Cheese was way more brutal in the books. When the assassins get to Helaena’s chambers they tie her and Alicent up. They ask Helaena to pick which of her sons they kill - the 6 year old Jaehaerys or 3 year old Maelor. Jaehaerys was the main target from the get go (not Aemond), they only gave her the illusion of a choice to torture her. When she refuses to pick they threathen her with r*aping her 6 year old daughter so she picks Maelor, hoping he’d be too young to understand what is happening. Blood then Whisperer into Maelor’s ear “You hear that boy? Your mama wants you dead” and strikes off the head of Jaehaerys instead.

      I'm pretty sure I will draw the wrath of some book readers on me with this, but the scene in the book how you are describing it sounds like brainless style overs substance.
      You are telling me those two men - after being lucky enough to sneak into the red keep - bound and tortured Alicent and Helaena for hours without anyone interfering (even in this episode it feels very weird, that there are no guards at all) even though they were just paid to get a head? That doesn't make sense to me.
      Why would they go out of their way to torture the women and risk getting caught, instead of just cutting one childrens head off and get the f out of there asap?
      Martin just sounds like a fetishist at this point. I think he writes shit like this, cause he likes splatter but doesn't really care if it suits the scene or makes sense in the context. So sorry, but the show made this scene more realistic.

    Helaena was already told they wouldn't leave without the boy; she tried bargaining and that didn't work. If Helaena tried to physically stop them or screamed, they would have killed her and probably killed her other child. You can see the conflict and terror on the actress' face, and as soon as they seize the boy she grabs her daughter and leaves. Honestly, she probably did the best she could have done to keep her other child alive.

    I love Game Of Thrones with a passion, and I love this show as well. However, I could not help but get hung up on the fact that Jacaerys hit puberty between these 2 seasons and looked way older than where the last season left off, but they still played it off as if only a couple days have passed. Just didn't work for me. Also, the Queen seems crazy, but she had a glimpse of the future. That's why she said she was scared of the rats. Because the rat trappers were what she was afraid of, knowing something terrible was going to happen.

    Dogs were trained to hunt and catch rats. And that dudes a rat-catcher. So he brought the dog to keep up appearances and act like they were just working and hunting rats in the castle as usual. His job is cleaning out rats in the castle so people view him sort of like a janitor. Which is why they could walk around without being suspected.

    Helaena already knew that her son was gonna die. She knew if shed pointed to the girl they would kill her first realise shes a girl then kill the boy anyway. They made her a "dreamer" in the show which basically means she sees visions. Thats why she reacted so weirdly. She knew it was gonna happen, no one tried to listen to her, so she felt helpless and knew there was nothing she could do about it. That would suck.

    In the books Blood&Cheese is much different.
    First off, Aemond is never mentioned to be the target, and Rhaenyra is not the one to incite the mission. Daemon sends Rhaenyra a letter from Harrenhal (in the books he is already there) that says-
    “An eye for an eye, a son for a son. Lucerys shall be avenged”.
    B&C sneak into the Tower of the Hand, which is not guarded as heavily as Maegor’s Holdfast, where Aemond was, and they head for Alicent’s chambers, who is getting ready for bed (Criston and her are not a thing in the book). Helaena and her three children (Jaehaerys, Jaehaera, and Maelor, who was not present in the show version) visit Alicent’s chambers each night before bed, and were just about to visit. When they get there, they find Alicent tied to the bed and her bedmaid strangled. Blood bars the door and Cheese takes Maelor and tells Helaena to choose which son of hers will die. Helaena pleads that they kill her instead but they refuse, siting- “An eye for an eye, a son for a son. A wife is not a son.”
    Cheese tells her that if she does not choose then Blood will grape her daughter and they will kill everyone in the room. Eventually, Helaena chooses Maelor, her younger son. Maybe it was because she thought he would be too young to understand , or perhaps it was because the elder boy, Jaehaerys, was Aegon’s first born and heir. Cheese holds Maelor up and whispers to him-
    “You hear that, little one, your momma wants you dead”.
    In one clean motion, Blood strikes of the older boys-Jaehaerys’s-head, and the two take off with it. When the guards finally burst through the door, they find Helaena grasping her son’s headless body to her, mad with grief.
    So yeah, Blood&Cheese is much more tame in the show.

He later on years after bullies the children of rhaenerya and Harwin in front of the king. He then agrees to cut the eye of one of her sons yet the king holds more power and disobeys him and only doesn’t do anything because daemon stoped him. Now he’s banging the queen who again is messing up his vows once again and still isn’t being punished by any of the royal family 🤔🤔

      His vows have already been tarnished by Rhaenyra. I don’t think he cares about his vows anymore, he just does what he wants now. Thats why he especially hates Rhaenyra because he blames her for ruining his vows but not wanting to run off with him. He’s driven by his hatred of her which is why he’s so loyal to Alicent

    If I'm not mistaken, in the books the assassins are a whole lot crueler. Again if I'm remembering what I've been told correctly, there were two sons and a daughter in the book instead of just a son and a daughter. The assassins wake the two sons up and bringing them (fully awake and understanding of what is happening) before their mother and have her pick which one will die and which one will live. The Queen chooses to sacrifice the younger one. The assassins then kill the oldest one, and say that for the rest of his life her son will now know that she chose his older brother over him. (If I'm remembering correctly)

    if you think about the sequence of events. Larys noticed Alicent is banging Criston so he had all of her maids/servants replaced with his spies. To use the proof against her if she ever decides to turn against him. Alicent knows this so she feels unsafe by dismissing all of her maids during her bath. Then when it came time to banging her favorite boy toy, it's quite clear she had all the maids dismissed while Criston did the same for the guards since he was the lord commander of the kingsguard. Which would explain why everything was so deserted in the royal quarters with barely anyone (other than that snooping maid).
    Of course Alicent will lose her shit but imagine Aegon's reaction if he ever found out how 2 gutter rats were able to sneak by because his mom wanted a late night booty call... This show is something else.
