The Green Wedding
19 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
As we've used to see on Game of Thrones: NO HAPPY WEDDINGS !!! I think this is the best episode so far. In the first half hour we started with the relationships between the characters and the intense that they would make later. And I can assure that the King is NOT Okay at all. I loved how they showed the castle of house Velaryon in Driftmark

The other half of the episode was a MASTERPIECE. It began when Alicent entered the Throne Hall wearing a GREEN DRESS! You don't how I was hyped on that scene, and with that soundtrack I was just HYPED! So from here we can see the beginning of the conflicts between Alicent & Rhaenyra, the Greens & the Blacks. Alicent realises that Rhaenyra betrayed her by lying to her, And of that she blames her for discharging her father, Otto, from being the hand of the king.

As usual the wedding ends tragically. Joffrey is murdered by Ser Criston Cole. Ser Criston was feeling ashamed for breaking his oath. The King's guard's oath is sacred and he just needed a tease to kill someone and there was Joffrey. Criston Cole dumped his heat on him. But still, Ser Criston didn't forgive himself, as he should, he walked into the garden where is the Weirwood tree is, takes off his dagger and tries to cut his guts, Queen Alicent Hightower yelled his name and there he stops.

From this episode we can assume that the war of the Blacks vs Greens is beginning to start, it didn't start yet. We haven't seen all the allies yet but they're coming on later episode, I hope.

I can go on and on talking about the episode so I should stop here. There alot of interesting characters that I haven't mentioned such as Harwin Strong & Larys Strong, sons of Lyonel Strong. The actors had done a very great job. Hats off to Mily Alcock & Emily Carey whose this episode is the last for them, they were both GREAT. I hope we could see them on other future works, they'll be missed.
