I will forever be weirded out by the way the internet decided that Emerald Fennell with season 2 didn’t single-handedly take a good limited series(that let’s be honest, lost momentum after 4 episodes) and turn it into a suspenseful drama that elevated the chemistry between the leads to the sky.

I think people just had the wrong idea about what the show is. Anyone who thought the show is a thriller about catching Villanelle just hasn’t watched beyond episode 3.

The biggest strength of the show are the scenes between Eve and Villanelle, and it was season 2 that wrote those the best. Not season 1.

Phoebe set the tone perfectly but that whole prison storyline was such filler and she worked really hard to not have Eve and Villanelle together in scenes so that it becomes more suspenseful. Season 2 had them meet frequently and it was more suspenseful than ever.

What a sad strawman argument.

Criston had literally just learnt Laenors biggest secret. Why would he try to inflate the situation even more?

Rhaenys isn’t written as the boss bitch you are so trying to hate the writers for writing her as. The irony of her character is that even when she calls out Alicent for bowing down to men, when she gets the chance to end that, she backs down to just go ask the man of her House what to do.

But do keep trying. You will eventually find a logical enough argument to hate on the show.

Wtf is that logic.

Her granddaughters are betrothed, so law and faith bound them to to Rhaenyras boys, meaning they couldn’t escape their fate with them?

Rhaenyra is literally, by law and faith, the Queen of the seven Kingdoms. And people here and there are just ignoring that.

Rhaenys did what was best for her house and family. If Corlys had decided to side with the Greens, Baela and Rhaena would just not be married to Jace and Luke anymore.

Not only that, but I find the idea of George not appreciating the qualities of a time skip really weird, considering he is probably wishing he had gone with the original plan of time skipping asoiaf to Daenerys arriving in Westeros, back when he could.

Then again, television and book writing are two completely different things.
