In episode 4 of HBO's 'Game of Thrones' spinoff, Daemon surrenders his crown and spends a night on the town; Rhaenyra's rumspringa doesn't sit well with the king-a.
Truth in advertising; you love to see it.up to this point, be assured that this week's ep is an unfailingly accurate representation of exactly what you've signed on for, and of what's to come. Namely:
How many people does she need? Boremund Baratheon , Rhaenyra and Criston Cole hold open auditions for a prince.How many people does she need? Boremund Baratheon , Rhaenyra and Criston Cole hold open auditions for a prince.But before that, we drop in on what will turn out to be the final date of. Only instead of Rhaenyra performing in a cone bra for the masses, it's a series of hopeful lords lining up in a humble, smoky throne room to plight their feeble, ill-fated troths.
Rhaenyra's had enough of this sword-measuring contest, and cuts off the tour two months early. On her way back to King's Landing, her ship is overtaken by ol' Uncy Daemon, astride Caraxes, who gives her sails a love-tap as he passes by. In her bedchamber, Rhaenrya finds a bundle of old clothes and a diagram pointing out a secret door behind her bed. She outfits herself in pageboy drag, skulks through the catacombs and finds her way to Daemon, waiting for her in an inconspicuous hood and cloak that's hilariously conspicuous.
This, by the way, is the showrunners telling us that she's possessed of the proper temperament to rule. A tyrant like's Joffrey would order the players' heads on pikes, while a weaker ruler might sulk and stew that the people didn't love them enough. Rhaenyra, for her part, rolls her eyes and shrugs her shoulders, accepting that the common folk need their outlet. This, it seems to me, is the Goldilocks Response — it's just right.
