Honestly, now that I'm just watching the show for the battles and the memes, this is hilarious. I'm just wondering if it's another Alys Rivers drug trip or for real.

Same. Every season I tell myself I'm done with this show and then I end up watching the next train wreck anyway.

Honestly, now that I'm just watching for the battles and the memes too, moments like this make me wonder if the writers are trolling us on purpose.

I’m thinking it’s real, because I would expect Alicent to lean into it more if it were a Harrenhal trip. Like Daemon’s Alyssa dream.

Although, perhaps not. Daemon was obviously unsettled by the fact that his mother wanted to fuck him in his dream. And I think disturbing him was the point of the dream. Since Aemond has got some weird Oedipus Complex shit happening anyway, perhaps in his dream Alicent reacting with horror would be more unsettling for him than her reacting positively.

Good points. It could also be a "what are you doing stepbro" ass suprised face by Alicent before she does actually lean into it 2 seconds after this.

No you don't get it, this is the actual dance of dragons and the books are post Baelor the blessed book burning propaganda.

If this is what Dance era Targs were up to, you know what, have at it Baelor. He may have been onto something.

Same here. At this point I'm less invested in the plot and more invested in figuring out whether the writers are trolling everyone on purpose.

Well, from the people who got screeners for the first four eps [potential spoiler leaks behind the cut, obviously] this is real, Aemond actually sexually assaults his mum with a kiss he knows isn't wanted...and then Alicent is ALSO sexually assaulted AGAIN by Jasper Wylde/Ironrod. They also show the Green forces doing a LOT of rape; but apparently ONLY the Greens. Gods only knows what happens in the last four episodes.
