Go back to season one, episode three. The conversation with Viserys and Alicent at the hunt is why Alicent believes he changed his mind on his death bed.
Showrunners are openly anti team Green so I am likely wrong. But I wish to say Alicent and Cole relationship is genuine and due to them knowing each other for so long and him being her children's father figure (and not revolving around Rhaenyra).
Your thoughts at 13:00 are exactly what I think. He named Rhaenyra his heir but didn't prepare her, didn't give her the chance to learn the politics or anything else. He just made an important decision and ignored all the consequences of it. It's like "I'm gonna be dead when she's queen so... not my problem anymore"
So remember how laryn strong the clubbfoot had did a purge of the entire castles staff eailer and said he replace all of the castle staff, well basically at this point their were understaffed, also because of cole and the queen saking up they would have orchestrated one way another for their too not be alot of servants and guards around at the time to keep people from seeing. Thoes are the official reasons I could take from the show, below is a random theory cause in my mind even that doesnt add up. So there are a bunch of Conspiricy thories as to how this happened, one being that larys strong knew it was going to happen and let it happen, I wont go into his motivations as to why he would do such a thing cause thats never confirmed in the books. However he makes several 'mistakes' which dont make sense, e.g. clearing cheese the ratcatcher who was a member of the house hold staff he said he personally cleared to alicent as i stated eailer, not bringing forward the women who saw blood and cheese commit the murder as a witness, letting agon kill blood before confirming the identify of cheese which is something they could do by just lining up all the rat catches and having him pick on. Considering how smart he is he should have known this and Iv seen enough from this show thus far to know the writers are competent to a sufficent degree that i dont think its an oversight. Thus considering how larys is showen to be capabile of manipulating agon to do what he wants as shown in episode 3 especially he should have more than cabaple of reasoning to stay the kings hand untill after blood singled out cheese. This is stands to reason he may have 'let' things happen and maybe the show will try to answer his motivations where the books did not, iv seen afew good videos on youtube showing how the show has been cleverly subtily hinting at some some of the theories about him.
The thing with Otto is... he is playing the long game, he knows worst things are about to happen. In terms of ''securing the realm'' for the greens he is good at his job. These two clowns{ Aegon and Cole} on the other hand, they don't know the game, they act on impulse and this is the worst time to do that. Otto reminds me a lot of Tywin Lannister. Not as smart as Tywin but with the same goal as him.
@@AbbyJaneReacts well... as much as you can respect a politician. His soul left his body a long time ago. All he cares about is politics. Everything else is fair game, including Alicent.
Great commentary! Unsure if my other comment went through, I don’t see it, but I wanted to make sure to log positive feedback so forgive the duplicate if it did! Subscribing for more! Chill reaction with commentary breaks is my favorite thing
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!! I was a bit conscious in this video that I rambled on a bit too much, so I'm glad to hear this. Will definitely keep this in mind for future videos :)
Alicent and Cristin are both bonded by the fact they are both in love with Rhaenyra and also have a shared resentment of Rhae. They even do it in Rhaenyra's old room and bed.
@@AbbyJaneReacts he has indeed let it consume him. That's extremely well put. He's a bit like one of my own characters. Lord Henry De Quarterly. His insane quest for power and eternal life...lead him to his final name. Probably Henry's worse than Cole - 😂.
@@thyagosaints Cole has been Alicent's sworn Guard for over 20 years. That's where he was, with Alicent. It is true that they should have added a guard for the queen. But apparently no one expected assassination attempts. Lazy writing
yeah but then they say that daemon told them a son for a son. I think they left this part open for interpretation but I personally think that daemon said if not aemond any son will do
In the book, it is very clear that Daemon intended Jaehaerys' death, given the way the brutal game of Blood and Cheese played out. I am sick and tired of this show trying to soften the menace 2 society and stone kold killa that is Daemon Targaryen.

Alicent’s love for Rhaenyra died a long time ago.
@@aj897 No it did not
Otto Slaytower 😅 love it!
You are very beautiful btw I fw the reaction vid good job 👍
Cole is a particularly vile character...because he has the potential NOT to be like that. Instead he has cast all his good qualities away. For hatred.
@@StephenSinclair-d6n THIS! Like I can understand his resentment towards Rhaenyra but he chooses to not move on and let it consume his life

Cole is the guard of Alicent. It's not his duty to protect Helena
Yeah it is. All The Royal family
@@thyagosaints Cole has been Alicent's sworn Guard for over 20 years. That's where he was, with Alicent. It is true that they should have added a guard for the queen. But apparently no one expected assassination attempts. Lazy writing
that's what I thought but it was weird that there were no other guards
@@ashrafulalashad3984 “Lazy writing”, she was left with no protector on purpose, it’s not lazy writing……
Ты очень красивая 😍
Daemon's orders were CLEAR, Amond, long silver hair, one eye. Blood and Cheese took it on themselves to kill the boy. Daemon IS NOT LYING!!!
Daemon is totally lying Lol,ambíguos orders
yeah but then they say that daemon told them a son for a son. I think they left this part open for interpretation but I personally think that daemon said if not aemond any son will do
He definitely told them to kill a different member of their family if Aemond wasn’t found.
Edit: The show even implies that lol.
In the book, it is very clear that Daemon intended Jaehaerys' death, given the way the brutal game of Blood and Cheese played out. I am sick and tired of this show trying to soften the menace 2 society and stone kold killa that is Daemon Targaryen.
@@AbbyJaneReacts Because its always easier to think the worst of the people you dont like...
