Considering how top-notch I thought the rest of the season was, House of the Dragon's The Green Council sucked. Surprising because I thought the Greens plotting around Viserys' death would be an entertaining scenario, but then they decided to frame the entire episode around finding Aegon in a whorehouse, and it was just bad.

Book readers were very disappointed in that episode. The Green Council plotting the usurpation of the Crown is a really interesting section of Fire and Blood and rife with cool angles a live action depiction could take. Sadly, they fumbled it. It’s not a horrible episode but it didn’t live up to its potential.

I’m really not a fan of the liberties they take from the source material. I strongly suspect that this setup will leave people dissatisfied with the endgame of the show. It feels like the greens are not even a little sympathetic and Rhaeneyra is Daenerys 2.0.
