The sad part about Alicent realizing her error, is that it ultimately woudn't have mattered. Otto was always going to conspire to make Aegon the king in Rhaenyra's place. So no matter what they would have found themselves on opposite sides of a war of succession. The difference being that Rhaenyra wouldn't have been burdened with the soul crushing idea that her father didn't love her and wanted someone else on the throne. Alas she did come to realize her father did love her, but it chnages nothing, except some modicum of solace.

Through time immemorial, through countless dynasties, from the Targaryens to the Baratheons, they will never not find a reason to kill each other for something stupid.

Because of that misunderstanding, it's led to a series of events that culminated in Helaena's son getting slaughtered in his bed.

I think it could be that, or a vision, or anything, but I think ultimately what she is forgiving her for doesn't matter. Helaena is incredibly observant and empathetic. I think she saw her mother fretting and agonizing over the guilt of sleeping with Cole and being denied the opportunity to confess and find absolution at every turn and granted her the relief she needed in that moment. It's less about the event and more about consoling her mother. Which, she didn't HAVE to do nor be expected to, but she's a sweet girl who understands the suffering of others.

I'm not sure why a lot of people seem to believe this (maybe we need the map in the intro back!), but it wouldn't take days, let alone weeks or months, for Rhaenyra to sail to King's Landing from Dragonstone. Dragonstone (and Driftmark) are in the Blackwater Bay in which King's Landing sits. That's why the Blacks can blockade King's Landing from Dragonstone and Driftmark; they control the entire bay from those islands. That's why Aegon the Conqueror first landed there, from Dragonstone. You may also recall Stannis attacked King's Landing from Dragonstone in season two of GOT, and he seemingly got there in the span of less than a single night (and that's with an entire fleet to manage!). We don't have exact distances or know the precise time it takes to sail or fly between King's Landing and Dragonstone (Martin is very bad with numbers anyway), but it's probably hours or at most a day by ship and much quicker by dragon (in Fire & Blood it's said young Rhaenyra often commuted between the two places every day, so by dragon it must be a matter of minutes away, or at most a few hours). Dragonstone is VERY close to the capital, which is partly why they're so in danger; an attack from the capital would be SO fast.

It is 100% appropriate to call a consort monarch 'your grace', 'the queen/king', or 'my king/queen', in fact it would wildly inappropriate for a vassal to refer to consorts by any other titles. When Cersei was queen consort, everyone called her 'your grace', 'the queen', or 'my queen' and she was regarded with reverence due to said title, the fearful reputation of House Lannister at the time, and the reputation of Cersei herself, even when she became queen dowager and Joffrey was king, people still referred to her in this way, albeit then she was also queen regent. It's kind of weird that they're going this route with Daemon's character considering by all precedent, consorts are generally treated with great respect and reverence, at least at court and in public, even if they don't have the full powers of their respective spouses. Daemon is literally one of Rhaenyra's strongest allies as well, making the treatment all the more bewildering. Maybe it's some sort of weird misogyny/toxic masculinity thing where because he's a man, being a consort is regarded as shameful, that he would "debase" himself by 'letting' his wife be the queen regnant.

You know if they just gave aegon a different name all of this could have been avoided 😂 Alicent wouldn’t have misunderstood

how? the green council had been planning to take the throne long before alicent ever first found out about it in 1x9. Her words mean nothing to them, they would have taken the throne regardless of what she thought.

Small correction: Rhaenys was talking about her _grand_ father to Rhaneyra's council, King Jaehaerys, not her father.

This is what happens when there are many Targaryens called Aegon and at this point there are three Aegons. When Rhaenyra told Alicent Viserys was talking about Aegon the Conqueror, Alicent realised it was true, Viserys never wanted Aegon to be king.

I freaking love the growing influence of Larys over Aegon. Its so evil yet it interesting to witness.

No Rhaenyra wouldn't take weeks . It takes a 4 to 5 day travel to go from Dragonstone to Kingslanding by boat

I believe with 100% of my being that Daemon never truly intended a child to be killed. The plan was to kill Aemond if possible, the scene where Aemond picks up a gold Dragon coin the assassins dropped in his bedchambers proves that, but move on to another son of royal blood if that doesn’t work. However, Blood & Cheese were supposed to fail. Daemon had no way of knowing that Aemond would be away or that Criston Cole would be fucking the dowager Queen instead of guarding the Royal wing. It was about sending a message. ‘You can get to us, we can get to you’. Daemon could have easily hired a few legendary Sellswords or even a Faceless Man, but he didn’t. He chose two disposable villains and set them against the best fighters in Westeros, Aemond and the Kingsguard. Daemon is genuinely haunted. His claims that it was a mistake are sincere. Harrenhall is canonically haunted AF and people dream of truths they dare not speak aloud. I tell you, every moment of this show is like a gift to those of us that love the world of ‘A Song Of Fire & Ice’!!.

„Otto Hightower would have never allowed this“ Well, I recall him last season ordering Ser Westerling, the former Lord Commander of the KG, to sail to Dragonstone and slay Rhaenyra and her whole family in a secret operation… the Blacks are either naive or the writers inconsistent 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻

The funny thing is that when Aegon realise the stupid mistake that he did by not aiding Cole in Harrenhall, there would be many lives lost, at least the Greens would have the consolation of the death of Rhaenys, but by the end, no one would win, it would be a slaughter.

I think if there was a REAL push to make Rhaenys a queen, there would still be war. Young Viserys would probably not want to, but sure as heck everyone around him would. Most prominently Otto and/or Daemon. Rhaenys is no Rhaenyra. Rhaenyra was officially and wholeheartedly backed by her father as the heir for decades. As such major houses' oaths were actually pledged to her for decades. Rhaenys had neither official backing from the king nor major houses' oaths. And she literally lost the vote. Idk by how much, i'm also a nonbookreader, but I imagine by a lot. Baratheon by blood backs her, sure. And Velaryon of course. But everybody else likely didn't. And the Targaryens are the ones with the dragonblood. Not Velaryons. Velaryons are of the sea, Targaryens are of fire. It's Targaryen blood that makes Velaryon dragon riders, not Velaryon blood.

Aegon is unhinged more then Rhaenyras with the Rat catchers could be due to Rhaenyras knows who killed her child and she can ask specifically for him while Aegon didn’t know exactly which one, I’m not defending the execution of all the rat catchers but I can see how his brain reached the conclusion of eliminating all of them while Rhaenyras is able to maintain her sense because she can has answers on who she wants

We're partway into the second season now and I'm just wondering all of a sudden if we've seen a sword with a name in this show. I don't remember any but I also didn't give this series any personal on my own rewatches, unlike GoT several times over in the first years.

Daemon feeling guilty about having the boy killed, seeing young Rhaenyra speaks volumes I think.. Young Rhaenyra had respect and adorned Deamon and Queen Rhaenyra is disappointed and can't trust him because of his actions. That's how I saw it, Daemon is growing a conscience. Alicent didn't want Aegon to go with Cole so Lary's made it happen it while moving himself forward at the same time.
