Blood's death scene shoulda been more brutal. We shoulda seen homie's skull cave in. Kid's head shoulda rolled off....idk....seems like they're shying away from offensively violent and that's fucking sad to see.
I think they actually told a lesser story in toning down the Blood and Cheese story as much as they did.
In that case, the violence isn't at all gratuitous. Omitting the 'choice' was simply done to tone down the horror of it all, IMO. And I think it makes worse. [Reply]
Even when it appears Daemon fucked up, he actually stumbled into a W. Getting Otto out as Hand and replacing him with Ser Simp is a HUGE win for team black. Now he's going to Harrenhall to show why he's the real MVP

If they follow the book Daemon...hell all of them get bitched. Especially the fat pig blond queen. [Reply]
Olivia Cooke and Emma D'Arcy are doing such excellent jobs displaying the depth of these characters, the difficulties they're weighing and the balances they are trying to find.
I love that these characters are so multi-dimensional.
Neither is all right. Neither is all wrong. And that's kind of the point...

Which is, ultimately, human. I get that. But Rhaenys got pretty well screwed in her own right and just kinda dealt with it.
Alicent is funny though - she genuinely believes she's right and Viserys meant to put Aegon on the throne. But there's also some 'hearing what she wanted to hear' to that. She knew he was pretty much gone at that point.
Like you said, that's pretty much the point. There aren't any good guys are bad guys here. And GOT has pretty much done nothing BUT trade in moral ambiguity so that pretty much checks out.
Those two need to get naked more. We need some OG GoT in this shit. [Reply]

The OG stuff had a stronger script to stick to because of the specifics in the books. This series has a lot more room and they aren't using the full extent of the leash theyve been given. [Reply]
but I thought the assassin Cargyll won and fell on his sword for killing his brother and realizing he'd betrayed his oath by endeavoring to kill Rhaenyra.

That’s what the replay showed but the showrunners say otherwise. [Reply]
Pay attention to the wound on the top of the head. Wounded forehead is who takes a sword to the tits.
I was trying to track the dude who took the slash to the right leg (Good Erryk) but lost track of him.
I think the dude on bottom right before the kill shots was 'good Erryk' because the guy on top said "You broke us apart" or something like that. Would've made more sense for him to say that when Erryk helped Rhyneara escape and then fled with her.
And I think it was the dude on top that eventually got run through before bottom dude fell on his sword. [Reply]

According to the actors, Elliot (Erryk) ran his brother Lucas (assassin Arryk) through.
Then asked the queens forgiveness because he was killing himself (and thus depriving her of his continued service) out of guilt for killing his brother.

See, i was tracking slash to the forehead and at one point slash to the forehead attacked the Queen. Which of course is confirmation that Slash to the forehead is Simp's assassin.
And it was Slash to the Forehead that took a Claymore to the tit.
Of course i could be totally wrong but that's how i remember it. [Reply]
