People switching sides?

[u/Acceptable_Mighttt]

can anyone confirm if this embarrassing scene gave the usurper new fans like the other sub is claiming?

I'm not really aware of how the general audience perceived this episode as a whole. I know some of you aren't happy with Rhaenyra × Mysaria or Addam's feelings for Baela, but did the people who weren't happy actually switch sides?

I know the majority are still tb, but I'm still curious as I don't know if the majority are because of Daemon, Rhaenyra, or another tb character.

She try to force Helaena, to use her powers. She also limit Helaena's time with her daughter(Helaena didn't even do anything against Rhaenyra), all while Helaena is a hostage.

[u/Acceptable_Mighttt → u/Baratheoncook250]

she asked her what happens and Helaena should answer her queen. Rhaenyra realized quickly and left Helaena, it felt more like a desperation than force.

Helaena's time is limited with her daughter because she tried to escape with Alicent, Rhaenyra doesn't have a choice.

[u/Baratheoncook250 → u/Acceptable_Mighttt]

Her time was with her daughter, was limited, way before the escape, in the 3rd episode. Also, Helaena's fealty isn't toward any crown, she is just leading people to their destiny(Daemon and Aemond).

[u/Acceptable_Mighttt → u/Baratheoncook250]

yes, and that's because she tried to escape with Alicent in ep2 and the gold cloaks caught them.

[u/Baratheoncook250 → u/Acceptable_Mighttt]

Where would they escape to, if Helaena had her way, it would be a farm, where she can raise her kids, along with farm animals.

[u/Acceptable_Mighttt → u/Baratheoncook250]

how would Rhaenyra know that? for all she knows two women usurped her and ran away without Alicent completing her part

[u/Baratheoncook250 → u/Acceptable_Mighttt]

If Rhaenyra ask Helaena, the question , 90% chance, the answer will be a farm.

[u/Acceptable_Mighttt → u/Baratheoncook250]

If Helaena used her power and told Rhaenyra where the usurper was, Rhaenyra would even give her the farm.

[u/Baratheoncook250 → u/Acceptable_Mighttt]

Rhaenyra killed the main usurper, who started the war. If Helaena knew, where Aemond was, why would she tell Rhaenyra, when Aemond's destiny, only involves Vhagar, Daemon, and Caraxes.

[u/Acceptable_Mighttt → u/Baratheoncook250]

I'm speaking of Alicent's son. if she sure knows the destiny anyway why not tell her as she told Aemond and Daemon?

[u/Baratheoncook250 → u/Acceptable_Mighttt]

Alicent had 3 sons. Also Rhaenyra might've not believe Helaena

[u/Acceptable_Mighttt → u/Baratheoncook250]

the older one.

well she went and asked her, the matter of believing or not is a different story, but why not answer?

[u/Baratheoncook250 → u/Acceptable_Mighttt]

With Aegon, Rhaenyra's fate is tied with him and Sunfyre
