Meme Targaryens are not fireproof
I see instances of people thinking targaryens are fire proof and using it as a reason to make fun of Aegon and yet more team black members have burned then team green.
Daemon, rhaenys, Laena and Rhaenyra all burn. In the show daemon is burned by a Flaming arrow during the crab feeder fight, Laena has Vhagar Burn her alive. In the books rhaenys corpse is found charred after Rooks rest and well we all know what happens to Rhaenyra.

Opinion Did Cregan Stark ruin Alysanne Blackwood’s life by turning her into a broodmare when she used to be a warrior?
Considering the fact that her life after the Dance was just constantly having babies and possibly dying from childbirth since Cregan eventually remarries and there is no more mention of her.

Question Why the supremacist plot line?
Daemon being a supremacist and not caring about putting his trueborn sons on the throne doesn’t make sense. If he genuinely believed in Targaryen superiority and the supremacy of his own bloodline, you’d expect him to care much more about securing the throne for his legitimate sons.

galleryQuestion How the hell does alys rivers take care of the chores in the castle?
I don't think Aemond or Alicent have ever cleaned, fetched water or cooked in their lives. Alicent has probably some experience lighting up candles, but I don't see her doing it. What about cleaning the bedsheets, making the beds, cleaning overall, lighting fires...
Is it all magic like the Wesley's mother in harry potter? if so, she must be more powerful than Melissandre, to be able to do that and still have time to chitchat

Discussion Emma's acting.
I've seen a post in the TB subreddit saying (in summary) that people only say Emma D'Arcy's acting is bad because they are non-binary or the writting is bollocks. And even saying that beyond the ASOIAF fandom, people think their acting is totally amazing.
For some reason you can only comment on TB posts if you're part of the community so I wanted to put the question forward on the subreddit where (I believe) things are less biased seeing this isn't a team thing.
For those who think Emma's acting is bad: Why so? Is it really just a question of writting, a frustration with the character?
And for those who think the contrary: Do you just think it IS good acting or do you believe the former claims that it is, somehow, homophobia/mysoginy
On my own note: I don't think their acting is horrendous, I can see a character and the writting def does not help, but it's the constant choices they make on the character that make me hate it. Like when they recently said that they prefer Rhaenyra wearing pants and more masculine clothing claiming they feel she (Rhaenyra) always had interest in masculine stuff when in the books it's a point that the Princess is very feminine and loves fabulous expansive dresses.
Also the scenes we see with her (Rhaenyra) for some reason always have to be grand, we can't have normal domestic scenes that made the whole difference in GOTs earlier seasons. We don't see her having relationships, she ignores her (alive) children and doesn't meantion the dead ones at all, we barely see any loving affection between her and Daemon, it's like every scene either she has to cry, to scream or to say some impactful one-liner, which makes it harder to form a connection with the character.

Discussion Which targaryen dragon rider do you could likely claim another dragon if their original dragon wasn't available Spoiler
Question If Rhaenyra won and survived? Spoiler
If Rhaenyra had won the Dance of the Dragons and personally killed Aegon II, wouldn’t that have set a dangerous precedent for the entire realm of Westeros?
Wouldn’t the other noble houses start questioning the traditional rules of succession, especially when it came to inheriting their fathers’ titles and lands? If Rhaenyra could claim the Iron Throne despite the opposition to her claim, defeat her rival, and kill him in the process, what would stop other lords and their daughters from making similar claims?
Could her victory have encouraged more women to challenge male heirs, leading to even more civil wars, succession crises, and conflicts between siblings across the Seven Kingdoms? Or would a victorious Rhaenyra have been able to establish a new precedent and secure the rights of future female heirs?
Would Rhaenyra’s victory have changed Westeros forever, or would it have plunged the realm into generations of endless succession wars?

Discussion Hope is all that is left to us😭
This is one of my favourite scenes. This is the only scene where Aemond and Halenna talk to each other. It did a graet job of bringing Aemond's character to live, he has always shown as a tough guy until this scene, the dialogue was so good and the their acting even better I had hoped we would get more scenes like that in s3 but I guess RahenryaXMyseria was more important. I hope we get at least one scenes in s4 of Aegon and Aemond actually acting like brothers...

Discussion You are Alicent Hightower, Viserys gives you free leave to arrange marriages. Who do you choose for your children?
You are show Alicent Hightower pre-Driftmark. Viserys says it's time to arrange marriages for your children, and delegates the task exclusively to you. As Queen, you can also can suggest matches for Rhaenyra's boys, but there's no guarantee she'll accept, unless you give a good enough reason for Viserys to overrule her. You can use book-only characters, but remember the Targaryens stay the same as their show counterparts. Let the matchmaking begin!

Book Spoilers Where are Aegon III and Viserys II? Spoiler
The main reason why Rhaenyra's death is so tragic is bc her son Aegon III is watching and is scarred for life. Rhaenyra kept Aegon III glued to her side after Joffrey died. Poor Aegon III never knew his brother Viserys was alive and lived with that guilt for a while. Aegon III and Viserys II are the future, but the show barely references them. How is Condal gonna suddenly re-introduce them in season 4 to make Rhaenyra's death emotional enough? They feel like random kids that the audience forgot atp. Not to mention, I doubt Joffrey's whole Syrax death is even gonna happen bc he was sleeping beauty for most of season 3 and barely has a personality.
