Baela didn’t kiss Alyn out of love. She kissed the future Lord of Driftmark.
With Alyn now Corlys’ legitimized heir, marrying him could secure Laena Velaryon’s legacy through Baela’s children.
In Westeros, love rarely wins. Inheritance usually does.
Love… or the game of thrones?
Jace’s death wasn’t anyone else’s fault. He chose to fly into battle.
While you’re stressing over something you can’t change, Ormund is out there winning over your allies one by one. And now you’ve even gotten your own dragon injured.
Please just listen to Daemon, get rid of Mysaria, and for the love of the gods, be nice to my girl Helaena!
The dragon battle between Caraxes, Sheepstealer, Syrax, and Seasmoke was absolute CINEMA.
We all expected Caraxes to dominate because that’s what he does, but Syrax genuinely surprised me. She came in swinging and actually had Sheepstealer on the back foot for a while. Landing multiple clean hits on a wild, feral dragon is no small feat.
One of the best rider and dragon moments in the series. Aegon really pulled up like, “Thought I was out? Surprise.” The timing, the entrance, and Sunfyre answering his call made that scene unforgettable.
I don’t even know where to begin because this episode put me through every emotion imaginable. I was literally on the edge of my seat. I got chills, I was gripping everything around me, and my heart was racing every time those dragons collided. That entire sequence had me in an absolute.
chokehold.
