E15 - HotDS1E10, Queen Rhaenyra: Restraint and Wrath ft. Steven Stark

October 29, 2022 • Silent Sisters • Episode 15

How did we get to the end so fast? "The Black Queen" has finally arrived, and to help us ring in the season finale, we have our dear friend, Steven Stark, founder of the Here Be Dragons youtube channel and slack community. Join us as we discuss the audience as Mushroom, the fool court chronicler of Fire & Blood, and House Velaryon as the "swing house" and deciding factor in the black's response to Aegon's ascension. One thing is for sure, Princess Rhaenys was the key player in so many instances that we dubbed her "The Queenmaker" this episode. Rhaenyra has been crowned, men have sworn fealty to her, but that doesn't make the patriarchy magically disappear in her camp. It's a rough first 24 hours on the job for Rhaenyra, starting with grief over the deaths of her father and daughter, but also a tug-o-war for power with her Queen Consort. Clearly, Daemon had expectations of being the real shot caller behind the throne, which unfortunately leads to domestic violence. Finally, we get into the climactic horror of Arrax vs Vhaegar, how it happened, the theme of revenge and instant regret. Yep, Aemond really shit the bed this time, because he just unleashed The Black Queen. All this and more with Steven Stark as we unpack the harrowing finale to an amazing season of top tier television!
