Scenes more dramatic/well-crafted than R+A in finale

Jaime and Olenna

Mysha crowd surfing (esp with her blue dress against the brown of the smallfolk)

Varys + Littlefinger + Chaos

Varys + Tyrion + Power

You’re a Greyjoy and a Stark

Jon Snow, King of the North

And yet the humanity and horror at the core of in Rhaenyra and Alicent’s scene were Rhaenyra asked Alicent to agree to let her son be killed came off as little more than filler. The Usurper Queen Mother arrived at Dragonstone, dialogs with the Queen, the two players who started this war and determining its course…. And it lacks any umph, any impact at all, and then Alicent leaves. 🤦‍♂️

Come to think of it, the short scene between Teal’C and Tomin in Stargate Ark of Truth was more moving than this.
