The last scene of HOTD S2 ep1 felt very unreal .. How does a mother freely let her child to be killed ..

2. How is a castle that empty .. was she not suppose to have a guard on her doorstep ...

Be like them just do that scene anyhow, that scene na scam ..

Palehair:

I don't really know if this helps to answer your second question and mind you, I haven't seen any episode of s2, I'm waiting till they all drop for me to binge watch them so take what I write with a grain of salt but here goes.....

Aegon the conqueror built the red keep but his son Maegor the cruel saw to it's completion. It is said that Maegor added his own part to the build which were secret passageways to get in and out of the red keep. No one knows the secret passageways except Maegor because he had the builders burned to death so that they won't reveal them to anyone. Over the years, some of these secret passageways have been found. In the books, the assassins Blood and Cheese (don't know if they are called that in the show) are said to be rat catchers the palace hired so obviously they must've seen some of these passageways by accident while hunting for rats which made it quite easy for them to come in without alerting the guards

I hope this helps

There's nothing wrong with change. Not an anime fan but I do dabble here and there watching stuff from studio Chizu, comix wave and studio Ghibli and sunrise studios that my ex used to force me to watch (she was a big time otaku or whatever they call them) but I'm learning a lot and the world is wider than Hollywood, maybe widen your tastes

Good stuff for ASMR

phr0nesis:

You are correct about the secret passageways, however, the issue isn't about them, but the fact that they left the room of the king's heir unguarded.

Kaycee7:
Really big time otaku if she put you on Studio Chizu content.
Seems she was more about the movies, judging from the studios you listed.

Oh, you have no idea. Babygirl was about both movies, manga and series and that love moved to the merch including cards, her room at home was an anime shrine, she was the one that even told me about yaoi that she was beginning to get into before her death. The movies were the only ones I could stomach with her because well, they are movies

abduleez1:


This actress is GOATED for that her chilling performance.
Helaena doesn't even know if its her dreams or its reality. She just shuts down and trying to make sense of the horror.

Kaycee7:
Damn! Sad to hear she passed. My condolences

Calibrator:
In the book, Alicent was even present on the scene and held at knife point and the mother, her daughter (King's sister-wife) walked in and was asked to pick one, she picked the two year old and they went ahead to kill the other one telling the one picked "your mother wants you dead"


We should be thankful they took liberties with that part of the plot, the original would have scarred some feeble viewers for the foreseeable future

Palehair:
Y'all don't come for me but have there been female nudity on HOTD this season so far? because most movies and series are delving in on male nudity which is because of our present culture shift but it's GRRM's universe so I expected some hmmm hmmm as the last season disappointed me in that aspect

Hypocrites without Honor!!

I bet they have been fucking before viserys died

blingxx:


She's in trauma nah, she was forced to marry her brother at the age or 13 in the book, imagine if sansa was forced to marry jeoffrey or Ramsey for the rest of he life

IngeniousLeez:


There's a scene just above your comment. 👆🏽👆🏽

abduleez1:


Lol, unguarded.
And you think Blood and Cheese won't be able to handle a guard or two if they encountered one.
In fact in the book they killed a guard who was guarding Helaena when she brought the kids to Alicent's chambers.
After killing the kid shouts was heard and guards mobilised but it was too late cos the hired hands knew the secret passageways to escape through.

Remember they walked past guards and Aegon II the King, while making their way to the living quarters. Pretending as Ratcatchers was the perfect camouflage. After all the King hired them to rid them of the troublesome rats.

All expected the retaliation of Rhaenyra to be emotional and impulsive. Not the calculated reprisal Daemon arranged.
Remember earlier on, Vhagar and Aegon II were almost shot down by their own men, thinking it was the Blacks. So a more conventional attack was anticipated. Also Targaryens have this history of fighting with honour and the likes. Who thought they'd be so low to higher people to do it themselves.

Palehair:

Not GOT level of spicy but I will take it and rumors about an Aemond and Alys Rivers scene too since we aren't getting a Sara Snow and Jacaerys Targaryen scene

JackBizzle:

Reasons why the king's heir seemed unguarded


1. The secret passages in the castle built by Maegor the cruel.

2. Ser Criston Cole reducing the guards so that no one catches him servicing the queen.

3. Larys thinning out and replacing the royal staff with his own people.

4. Expecting to be attacked by dragons and not an assassination.

5. Back to number 1, guards on the lower levels not knowing the secret passages.
