If you're siding with Aegon, that's fine. But one thing you can't say is that he's the rightful heir. The only rightful heir was Rhaenyra. team Red all day
Two of the dumbest things happened in the past two episodes that completely tanked my enjoyment of the show
1.Rhaenyra learns Aemond is at Harrenhal without Vhagar
She finds out the biggest threat on the Green side is sitting at Harrenhal without his dragon
Why does she not tell Daemon
Caraxes could have been there in a few hours and ended the war before it got even worse
If not Daemon then send one of the other dragonriders
If not that then send an actual team of assassins
Instead she sends one man and Alicent who is easily the most valuable prisoner she has and one of the only pieces of leverage against the Greens
After a journey of hundreds of miles the assassin fails almost immediately
Then somehow Rhaenyra is angry at Daemon for keeping secrets even though she never told him any of this
2.Mysaria is the Mistress of Whisperers but does absolutely nothing
She has not solved a single problem this season
She does nothing about Ormunds agents
Nothing about the gold shortage
Nothing that actually makes her role matter
For someone whose entire purpose is gathering information she feels completely useless
Honorable mention
Rhaenas Nettles storyline is a straight downgrade from the books
The dragon fight looked cool but almost every major change from the source material has made the story worse and turned smart characters into idiots
And somehow none of this is as ridiculous as Rhaenyra sneaking into Kings Landing dressed as a nun last season
