I know I've said it before but this is the last time I can say it. I can't undersell how fucking stupid HBO was to cut season 2 down from 10 to 8 episodes without a plan in place. This is a glorious season 2 final episode.

As Daemon approached his "gift" I was running through my head who could possibly be trapped in the cells. Otto wasn't fresh in my mind, but I remembered Alicent talking with her brother about their father missing. I really hoped Otto had a bigger story left to tell, but his death is brutal. Aegon is a shitty kid, but Otto? Brutal. And then Alicent shows up? Brutal.

Also Aemond killing off Strong boys again. I think only Larys Strong survives? For now at least. I assume he'll be dead before the war is over. Maybe by Aemond.

Also shout out to Corlys who is apparently impossible to kill.
