so. The pay off was kind of worth it. With the conversation between Alicent and rhaenyra, but seriously, what the actual fuck? The best use of the monarchs time is spending three months on a return boat trip alone to risk death to have a conversation? We live in a world where we cant accept stories where all characters arenāt constantly available to interact at all times
this is one of my favourite episodes so far. The sheer fucking excellence of the scene around the kitchen bench. Perfect maintenance of tension with the occasional perfectly delivered comic interjection. Fuck me.
this is also an almost flawless demonstration of what itās like being hypomanic. My wife literally turned to me and was waiting for me to make the observation. Not that Carmy is supposed to be, but the āIām stressed to fuck, super elevated, and Iām completely driven to act and do somethingā is pretty much what being hypomanic is about
Shes 50, but her active years started in the early 2000s. So, she would be in the generation after the bigger actresses of the 80s and 90s, like Meg Ryan, JLC, Goldie Hahn and such
I still canāt totally get my bearings down on who Iām comparing her to. But Viola Davis comes to mind as one who probably qualifies and who absolutely cooks every time sheās on a screen also.
Yeah, Cate Blanchett broke out at the end of the 90s, feels like she would count. Iād take her over Colman. Honestly feel like sheās still underappreciated despite her getting a lot of recognition.
