@alicookes I have this v self-indulgent (Rhaenicent-centric) outline for how I'd structure HOTD's storyline over 5-6 seasons (10 eps per season minimum)... and it basically amounts to S1 being entirely comprised of young Rhaenyra and Alicent's arcs, so we really inhabit their girlhood.
@Macavit25431185@fabiola_liano I've got so many tabs of season reviews open rn, so can you tell me where this excerpt is from because that final sentence gets me good and I need to read it in its entirety! ๐ญ
@madeleinewintr Oh god, I always say I want a Dorne-focussed show, but I also know as a woc I am going to be SO TIRED. The fandom misogyny *and* racism will be turbocharged... ๐ซฉ
@LukaNieto re your last point, I'm now wondering if critics similarly struggled with The Last Kingdom and its cast of: Aelswith, Aelfwyn, Aelfweard, Aelflaed, Aethelwulf, Aethelwold, Aethelred, Aethelstan, and Aedgyth. ๐
@Macavit25431185 If there's one thing James Norton will do, it's play a devious bastard with relish. Also gotta love how the reviews consistently validate HOTD's artistic licence -- all the stuff the fandom purists otherwise decry -- Ormund being one such example.
