Right? She probably didn’t want to be a kinslayer if anything

Her smirk suggested, "this is not my fight."

Was the kid fight club scene suggesting Aegon has bastards?
Was that burning building the white worm's place?
What was to stop someone that did bend the knee from leaving to get a message to Dragonstone?

Yes.

Yes.

Well, they did arrest and then hang that guy from House Malcovich, so fear is the answer.

I’m always amused at how the everyman in this series could give a shit who the king is. Just like … whatever, ok.

Also Rhaenys just slaughters thousands of innocent gatherers with her little stunt. Nice.

They very clearly did that for spectacle over story; not really hopeful for what this show would become without GRRM close to it

Yer man says to his brother ‘one of many’ so he definitely has bastard kids all over kings landing unwanted and born in the pleasure houses

So the white worm’s house was torched by?
- Otto (for obvious reasons)
- Larys (kill queen bee of spies in exchange for barefoot peepshow)

Was it really not clear? I can think of 10 reasons why Larys did that for Alicent.

It's a battle for the Targaryen family's soles.

I watched the final two episodes of GOT last night. They make so much more sense now.

Tyrion digging through the rubble and finding Jamie and Cersys bodies is fuckin hard. Been in my head all day. A beautifully shot scene and he’s devastated and it’s real. That scene got lost and fogotten in everyone’s hate for that final season. Well worth watching again when you have an hour.

On the bastards:
The Watch is going to get a steep increase in boys? Or Larys kills them all?

White Worm:
Surely she had something else planned than an worthless pledge of protection for fleshworkers, so what is it?

Fear:
He was fearful rounded up because he kneeled last. Others cooperated.

They may have arrested/hung him because he knelt last, but they hung him in public to scare others into submission.

On Larys and the bastards: he wouldn't have them killed unless it benefited him and his ties to the queen's power/toes. He probably already knows, and keeping them alive gives him leverage in case he needs it.

Fun fact: Targaryen bastards are called "dragonseeds."
