      He had conflicts in himself and every judgement. That made him more real as a person. As in the first episode, he loved his wife but he need his son enough to do that. I still think he was too weak for being king, he had got the throne because there was only one woman to candidate with, and that’s why the story begin. It was ironic that he finally had a son he always want but still remained his dauther as an heir because of feeling guilty about her mother.

Alicent was also aware the implication when her father insisted that she made her self look more mature (she was 14, after all LOL) by wearing her mother's dress while comforting the King. She knows where the whole persuasion can go if she succeeds in working Viserys, it'll be against Rhaenyra.

  • @ThePatman1980
    @ThePatman1980 Před rokem +31

    Daemon might be a complicated character but we've seen him more as a charismatic bad*ss in this show. I think this series is showing more about how complex Viserys, Rhaenyra, and Alicent really are.
    I really enjoyed that scene between Alicent and her father. We finally got to hear what's really her inner thoughts and feelings. I believe Alicent will be just as complex as Rhaenyra as the series progresses. Because I actually think she has a good heart. She's practically a Targaryen since she grew up next to them.
    I believe Alicent really does love Viserys and still deeply cares about Rhaenyra. But then she wants to also please her father. It's a tough balancing act for her while still being a mother while loving and supporting her children. By making Alicent more likeable, it can make us torn when she and Rhaenyra become bitter rivals.
    It's really a terrific show so far. I thought maybe the battle scene at the end would piss off book fans who preferred earlier seasons of GOT that was slow-burning and thought it got too Hollywood blockbuster by S4. But I guess not because they seem to love it. Didn't bother them.
    One of the greatest shows I have ever seen with great character development is still Mad Men. I think HOT D is reaching their level. For me, the dragon scenes are cool but I'd rather have great character development and this series has at least 4 characters with so many layers.
    I don't mind the quieter scenes like Rhaenyra talking to her father or Criston or Alicent talking to Viserys or her father. Those are the scenes that makes GOT/HOT D great. The dragons and battle scenes are the superficial stuff.

    • @tracys169
      @tracys169 Před rokem +1

      I agree Alicent is as complex as Rhaenyra although she is her opposite in manner and personality. While I think that Alicent does care about Viserys and Rhaenyra but to what extent, I'm still conflicted on that. What the episode shows me is a young woman so attuned with the court, who's so good at politicking. She gently moved Viserys to do things for her, without pushing him to do so. The 'assist' she suggested for the Step Stones, worked as a slight toward Daemon and worked to elevate her reputation of kindness in front of her husband. ::Chef's kiss:: She knew also when to gently wield her position against Rhaenyra (in private), reminding her that she is indeed queen, since Rhaenyra has been acting very rebellious/abrasive. But in public, Alicent shows unity and generosity when she defends Rhaenyra amongst the court ladies. I was so just impressed by her. I was half-expecting, Cersei 2.0, a subtle as a dump truck LOL, honestly after reading the novel, but the show made her more complex than that. She moves the pieces gently and subtly. She proves to be a very effective game player indeed at a very young age.

    Once again, HBO has proven how unbelievably good they are with the casting. Starting from the costimography (have to point out Steve Toussaint as Corlys Valeryon) to the portrayal itself, every character is dripping with personality. While I was quite worried of having a well-known actor, like Matt Smith, taking me out of the show, his portrayal of Daemon has done quite the opposite and immersed me in the show just that bit more. As much praise this is for the actors, it's even more so for the casting crew who felt that connection.
