THE LORD OF THE TIDES 

Comments

I can go both ways on the succession for Driftmark. Luke isn't blood but he was chosen by Laenor as a son and by Corlys, who is the lord and leader of house Velaryon, as a grandson. Both know he isn't blood, and they don't care. He has no experience, but he can learn a great deal and get help from Vaemond if he just honors the choice of his brother and lord. Add the marriage and there will still be Velaryon blood ruling Driftmark. As for the iron throne, technically the bloodline is still pure. The rightful heir is Rhaenyra Targaryen who is a trueborn child from the king and his chosen heir. So, when he dies it truly doesn't matter that he has other children. It will only matter after Rhaenyra dies. Her first 3 kids are named Velaryon but will have to change it to Targaryen when they ascend. So, they will have her blood and her name. Plus, she will have 3 full blood trueborn Targaryen kids with Daemon. Even if it's right or wrong the king willed it so anything anybody does to prevent it is treason and death. If Alicent really believes that Viserys said he wants Aegon to be king, she truly is an idiot. First off, the man is damn near dead. Second, he is constantly high on milk of the poppy and has a clouded mind. Anybody with common sense would know that the mumbling of that man would be 95% nonsense. Third, he said stuff like "do you remember" and "earlier" so if she didn't talk to him earlier the entire conversation is irrelevant and Alicent would know that. Forth, he has told the entire realm that Rhaenyra is heir, threatened to cut out tongues, etc. for 20 years. He never mentioned any of his other kids in connection to the throne. So, in my opinion any death and violence that comes after will be on Alicent and her team.

Great post man. You said everything I wanted to.

Fairness? Legal? No. It's about who seizes the opportunity, and seizes it with such ferocity that nobody questions it.

In a couple centuries Robert Baratheon becomes King, not because he has any right to it at all, but because the Mad King was dead and his forces were defeated and Robert just sat down on the uncomfortable metal chair and everyone decided not to argue.

The Crypt Keeper. That's about right.

His crown falling off and his brother helping him was improvised. During rehearsal his crown accidentally fell off and Matt Smith in character stepped forward to help. The director loved it and they kept it in.

They just saw a dude get his head sliced in half and no one flinched. His face is a minor horror for them.

Kelly Parks

Yeah. his suffering was sad.

Actually Robert was a quarter Targaryen. That fact was used by the maesters to justify the outcome of his rebellion and subsequent crowning.
