I think this episode was the first time I really felt (some) sympathy for Otto Hightower.

I was cracking up during the scene he confronted Aegon and Ser Criston Cole about hanging the rat catchers and sending Erryk to kill Arryk. I thought Rhys Ifans did a convincing job in that scene; watching Otto realize that (1) not only was he surrounded by idiots, but (2) there was no fucking way he could control the idiots was quite satisfying.

Also, Ser Criston Cole just becomes a bigger piece of shit every episode. The audacity he had of trying to blame Erryk for Jaehaerys’ death when he was the one fucking the queen instead of doing him job.

Overall, a really good episode.

I loved Otto in this episode.

Slowly realizing that VizzyT was great.

Also Peak Otto:

“Daughter, as long as we are together we can work through any issue”

“I have sinned, dad”

“OMG y’all are the worst - that does it - leavin’ right now for Oldtown to hang with Daeron”

@dornad @Coffee_Addict He is very consistent with his disregard for his daughter's emotional well being.

I think it also have to do with open keeping face and pretending to not know what's happening.
