Fun fact: That is now the THIRD time Blind Wave have looked up the definition of the word ‘magnanimous’ in their reactions. The first time was in season 1 of Vikings when the earl says it to Ragnar.

Blood and cheese did listen to daemon instruction, the rat catcher asks daemon what if we couldn't find aemond and we see daemon's face but not his answer, later blood says he said "a son for a son" meaning killing the young prince was the plan B if they couldn't find aemond.

I don't get why people think b and c got the instructions wrong. B was only confused with c holding Helaena at knife point bc he doesn't know who she is, but once cheese explains he's on board immediately. A son for a son. That's the answer Daemon gives when the ask what if they can't find Aemond. And that IS classic daemon. He doesn't care who, he just wants revenge, just like in the books, he promised to avenge luke for rhaenyra and got b and c to let Helaena choose which of her two sons to die bc either way they were killing a son. Even if they deviate from the books, it's understandable that Matt Smith's Daemon would go this route too. He'd want the bloodshed and mayhem that will obvi follow. B and c did exactly what they were told.

In the books Blood&Cheese is much different. First off, Aemond is never mentioned to be the target, and Rhaenyra is not the one to incite the mission. Daemon sends Rhaenyra a letter from Harrenhal (in the books he is already there) that says- “An eye for an eye, a son for a son. Lucerys will be avenged”. B&C sneak into the Tower of the Hand, which is not guarded as heavily as Maegor’s Holdfast-where Aemond was-and they head for Alicent’s chambers, who was getting ready for bed (Criston and her are not a thing in the book). Helaena and her three children (Jaehaerys, Jaehaera, and Maelor, who was not present in the show version) were on the way for their nightly visit to Alicent. When they get there, they find Alicent tied to the bed and her bedmaid strangled. Blood bars the door and Cheese takes Maelor and tells Helaena to choose which son of hers will die. Helaena pleads that they kill her instead but they refuse, siting- “An eye for an eye, a son for a son. A wife is not a son.” Cheese tells her that if she does not choose then Blood will grape her daughter and they will kill everyone in the room. Eventually, Helaena chooses Maelor, her younger son. Maybe it was because she thought he would be too young to understand , or perhaps it was because the elder boy, Jaehaerys, was Aegon’s first born and heir. Cheese holds Maelor up and whispers to him- “You hear that, little one, your momma wants you dead”. Then, in one clean motion, Blood strikes of the older boys-Jaehaerys’s-head, and the two take off with it. When the guards finally burst through the door, they find Helaena grasping her son’s headless body to her, mad with grief. So yeah, Blood&Cheese is much more tame in the show.

You could argue Rhaenyra never incited a mission. It's a declaration of a desire for revenge, grief-stricken and (most probably exhausted from flying for days in search of proof). It is still Daemon's interpretation on his queen's behalf, and he was likely going to act on something either way. Early in the episode he was ready to storm king's landing front and center were it not for Rhaenys. The fact that Mysaria ended up within his grasp and Rhaenyra's declaration, it ends up being a believable list of ingredients to bake an assassination attempt pie. Maelor isn't in the show, does he have a bigger role to play down the line in the books? I'm curious as to what gets affected without his presence, much like the omission/combination of other characters kind of fucked over the original Game of Thrones run in the later seasons.

B&C didn't mess up as badly as you think. Daemon wanted Aemond dead, but Cheese knew this might be impossible and he asked Daemon "what do we do if we can't find him". In the castle, Blood repeats multiple times that Daemon said he wanted "a son for a son" (which we don't see him say so it has to have been said after Cheese's question).

Rhaenyra is such a good mom... Her boy was in pain and she immediately rushes to him. You can tell just by the way her kids act that she's a kind and good mother.
@kimberlyrobinson3992

Yes, she’s such a good mother that she lets Jace and Luke have childhoods dogged by rumors and whispers of their illegitimacy - because they *are* illegitimate. Being a bastard in Westeros is a lot more than a social taboo. People believe that a bastard is inherently a bad person because of the way they were born. Rhaenyra paraded around her three eldest sons as if people couldn’t see that they weren’t her husband’s children. She depended on Viserys’s protection - which she always got - but didn’t think ahead to when he was gone. She should have expected that her ascendancy to the throne would have been challenged anyway and she made it worse by suggesting that, after a female monarch, which Westeros has never had, a bastard of the Strong family should sit the Iron Throne. That was really delusional. Is Rhaenyra an affectionate mother? Yes. But, I’d argue vigorously that she isn’t anywhere near a good mother. A good mother wouldn’t have put her oldest boys through the ordeal she did just because she got hot pants for Harwin Strong. The least she could have done is pick a father for her children that looked like her husband.

The part of the throne scene with paying the smiths: while I agree that they should be paid and well, in business it is never wise to pay in full ahead of time for a service. It is smarter to either pay half or to pay a percent as a downpayment to allow the person to purchase supplies etc. So while it looked like Aegon did something good, it unfortunately highlighted his ignorance in business dealings. It made him look like he would easily be taken advantage of if Otto wasn't there. The Greens confuse me. They knew they were going to place Aegon on the throne. I know he was a difficult kid but come on now did they give him no training at all? He's making mistakes left and right and the kind he shouldn't be making too. I blame his mother. Maybe less scolding and more ensuring he was prepared. Afterall, Jace certainly seems like he knows what he's doing and seems well versed in diplomacy too. Why didn't the Greens at least ensure Aegon knew not to blurt out secret battle plans at court?

I know some people were disappointed with blood and cheese, however, I realized that there was no way you could’ve done that scene with a three-year-old (Maelor) and six year old actors (the twins) without traumatizing that child. I would prefer them to not be traumatized, even if it means that the scene goes differently than what I would prefer.

Yeah I was a bit underwhelmed but I do think the show's version still achieves the same ramifications. In fact I prefer the show's version when it comes to Alicent because I feel it offers character depth than the book version. Also I think people just overhyped Blood and Cheese in general. Yes, it is gratuitously gruesome but that's really the extent of it. I feel bad for the people involved but there just simply isn't a strong enough emotional thread for it to linger with me. It's hardly like the Red Wedding or even Oberyn's death where it felt like a series-defining moment.

Originally, 'magnanimous' basically means 'of great spirit' (magnus + animus), but now it tends to mean, more specifically, 'forgiving, generous, not petty, non-vindictive'. Given what's about to happen in the story, I assume the word was meant to be dramatically ironic, especially since the character who said it doesn't appear to know what it means, or at least put little thought into using it to describe the king.

Exactly, they're removing the teeth from most (if not all) of the characters. I can appreciate that they tried to add more depth to some characters that were fairly flat in F&B, but broadly almost all the characters are passive and things are happening TO them. It's like the writer's definition of "morally grey" is "good people who do bad things by accident". And a lot of what the writers say they want to do, they end up doing the opposite?? It's like they're all writing in separate rooms without communicating with eachother... I've kinda come to terms with this not being High Brow television like early GoT was and now im just enjoying the melodrama and action for what it is, a fun romp through dragon fantasy land.

When the twin on the black side tells Daemon his job/duty is to protect the whole of the royal family then seeing the hyprocrites of Alicent and Criston who are going against their 'duties' that they held against Rhaenyra allowed for the death of heir as Criston should have been guarding or 'on his post' which he had just been instructed to do by Otto.
