This was an interesting one here. Of course its not GOT with out some... well, that! lol. But enjoyed this episode. Some twist in here we didn't see coming which will make this story take a heck of a turn.

"Eh, the UNCLE?!" 🤣 You guys did a great job!! This episode was difficult to sit through. I cringed just as much as y'all, but I didn't have anyone to talk about football with 😂 We here at Patreon love y'all back 👍 This story from the book Fire & Blood is super interesting because it's told from an unreliable narrator of a dwarf jester: Mushroom (who might appear next episode haha). So, some stuff could be false or exaggerated. The show has taken some liberties, but is remaining pretty faithful to the text and being objective. As for your question about creating languages for this show: yaaaaaas and it's super interesting behind the scenes! They created the High Valerian language, Dothraki, and so on through runes/characters (like over 300) to represent some words, phrases, etc. Tolkien was obviously the Father/King of this with LOTR starting because of his love of creating languages and each race had their own. Even James Cameron created a language for the AVATAR series - and then Disney as well with Atlantis! Such an awesome world building tool. LOL forbidden love with "non tourney knight" 😆 George R. Martin is a sucker for that romantic trope. Star crossed lovers/ill fated like Romero and Juliet. For instance, Ygritte & Jon from GOT. That's why he has many factions in the Westeros world take a vow of chastity (like Ser Cole in the King's Guard). I'd definitely recommend the YouTube channel Alt Shift X for all Game of Thrones content. He's super versed in the Lore, does live Q&A sessions after the episodes, and breaks down everything from the books in context to the show. Lots of fun stuff with this series and I'm thoroughly enjoying watching y'all react to it! 🤘

L AH

About the alliances through marriages, it was way safer to have your offspring be married to the offspring of other important houses because then, you would have a blood relationship between the two families, which is way harder to destroy than just a handshake haha (and even that didn't stop people from betraying one another) Daemon is a really complex character. I do think he cares about Rhaenyra (both as family and as a love interest) but he also has other self-serving plans for himself. But as Viserys said, everyone is ultimately serving themselves at the end of the day. I also loved the theme of perception VS the truth and how Viserys explained to Rhaenyra that it doesn't matter if you did it, only how it is perceived/believed to be true. Really great episode, it is so intriguing to see the characters shaping the story through their decisions. Excited to watch the next one !
