From its first episode, the 'Game of Thrones' prequel has been moving at a frenetic pace, and it can be maddening to try to keep up
at the end of Season 2 and is confronted with a tempting image of her husband and child, alive and well, we understand how she has the strength to turn away and instead embrace her future as the Mother of Dragons. If, we never would have seen Daenerys dallying. We may have gotten the episode in which Daenyers loses her husband and son followed immediately by a House of the Undying episode followed by a throwaway line about building an army—and bam, she’d beto Dragonstone, dragons in tow.
s credit, the show finally seems to have settled down in the penultimate episode of its first season. In retrospect, everything that came before that episode feels like scene-setting. I’m optimistic now that the Dance of the Dragons, the civil war within the Targaryen clan that serves as the backbone for the showhas officially begun, we’ll get to spend more time with our characters and less time rushing around King’s Landing figuring out who is aligned with whom in the battle to come.
Conversations within the episode have immediate consequences—rather than ramifications decades in the future. Take the thrilling conversation between Rhaenys and Alicent midway through the penultimate episode. Rhaenys delivered a withering critique of Alicent, whom she accuses of being a slave to the patriarchy. Best delivers a perfect line that Alicent’s actions have simply made “a window in the wall of [her] prison.
And, for better or worse, the argument impacts Rhaenys’ otherwise baffling actions at the end of the episode. Rhaenys has the opportunity to burn Alicent and her family alive at Aegon II’s coronation and end the war then and there—sparing thousands of lives in the process. Instead, she decides to leave the new king un-charred.
I don’t consider this explanation to be sufficient, especially given that Rhaenys must have killed hundreds of peasants in executing her meaningless dragon stunt. Presumably such wanton destruction would turn the people of the kingdom against Rhaenys and Rhaenyra, rendering the act counterproductive if not outright insane—very out of character for Rhaenys.
