Regent

After the events and the battle of Rooks Rest,an episode like this was needed..We might be at an all out war but the political spectrum of the two sides is also very important for the story..And again i hope every filler would be as good as this episode was..I really like the expansion of character debt from characters that didnt have much screen time(Like Baela and Jace)..The cinematography is out of this world,we saw so many places in this episode(Twins were majestic)

Is it an episode that will amaze you? Definitely not..But we cant have all out dragon fights and army fight every single episode..So a 8,5 for me for this episode is good and im awaiting the next episode..Im pretty sure we will have at least one more great battle in this season.

In my opinion, this is the weakest episode of the season so far. After all the crazy events of the last episode, the stakes felt so high and the tension at its maximum. The dance had begun. But this episode is very chill which does not really make sense to me. And I feel like there are so many aspects they could've explored in the aftermath of the insane battle last episode that they didn't. I would especially love to have seem them explore Aemond's character more, now that he literally attempted kingslaying AND kinslaying and is now on the iron throne: what kind of person has he become, what his motivations were, etc. As for the scenes we did get in this episode, most of them are okay-good, but nothing was.particularly captivating or engaging to me. Some scenes felt repetitive or like they didn't accomplish much, like Rhaenyra's arguing with Ser Alfred and the council yet again. Daemon's visions were cool in ep3 and ep4 but they're getting tiring now. Moments I did really like were the common folk trying to escape King's Landing and Baela and Corlys' conversation. The Brackens denouncing Daemon as a tyrant was also a good scene, but I honestly wasn't invested enough in the Brackens/Blackwoods conflict to care too much. Overall, this was just a good episode, rather than a great or outstanding one like the first 4. Ep2, for example, was a much better example of an episode that was focused on the aftermath of a huge event and was nearly entirely dialogue-based with little action, while still being excellent in quality. But I'm hoping that most of the less interesting bits in this episode are setup for the final 3, so I may look on this episode more favorably in the future.

I'm so sorry jeyne arryn. And sabitha frey, my queen of killing men and kissing men. You will be missed.

That is NOT alyssa. Ryan and sara think targaryen = silver wig and it's embarrassing. Not even GRRM crossed the line into parent/child incest. For a REASON. Harrenhal subplot is tiring now. Also what's the reason for all this noncanon tuff about the riverlands? They were one of the first people to rise up for rhaenyra, for viserys little girl. Aemond was the one who torched the riverlands everytime he got mad. Trying to alienate daemon from the audience all bc the show runners hate him is just weird. Simon strong you are an icon.

The only saving graces are jace and baela. He's serving face and getting more noble houses to his mothers cause at the same time! And baela is being queeny as usual. In another life, they would've been amazing rulers.

I can't understand why people are being so critical. Is all you care for blood & gore?

The last episode was amazing yes, a thrilling experience that left me at the edge of my seat. Though everyone condemning this episode as a "filler" aren't paying attention.

There are so many plots being put together, where things are starting to make sense and add up to something greater.

Had we not had these episode prior, The Red Dragon and the Gold would not have been so successful. We saw the build up of conflicts, power tripping and ignorance, lead to a devastating battle that changed the whole direction of this show.

Patience is a virtue. I am eager & waiting to see the chaos that's about to unfold.

After the battle ended, I saw that the lions were suffering a lot. I want to understand why black people experience more pressure from the Green Party. So far, Rhaenyra hasn't done anything. The Black Party really needs a mastermind for this tense party. The episode had fairly good dialogues. We understand some important things and important characters, but... I want to understand why Damon is still trapped in two minds because I really want to see the Damon that George Arrard Martin said he was. I really want Damon.

To start working hard and put an end to the bad dreams that destroyed his personality. Really, I rated it an 8/9. The episode had good dialogue, but I wish Damon would finish this.
