So there were NO guards watching the future king heir?? Wondering if that will be a plot point next week.

Also why is there almost no discussion here? It's a popular show and thought there would be more activity....

Re no guards, I'm guessing it's a combination of

  • Ser Criston Cole putting guards in strategic locations to ensure he isn't caught.

  • Larys Strong eliminating a handful of hand maids (and similar folk), replaced with his own. These new folks might not have the family in mind.

  • Kingsguard hanging out with King Aegon.

  • Overall not expecting an attack like this. Kings Landing is confident if attacked it will be via dragon.

Yeah, this is exactly why. It just wasn't explicitly spelled out in the episode.

These are all great possibilities. And each come with their own repercussions.

Re no discussion,

For some reason Movie/TV discussion on Lemmy is limited. I'm guessing it's just too niche still. It's an uphill battle but assholes like me are still here, so we can discuss.

Love the new opening credits. Much improved.
