Stuff I wished they would've shown
It's crazy to me how many scenes they deleted in favor of keeping other stupid shit, even in season 1. Such as: - Rhaenyra playing with baby Aegon and trying to get him to pronounce her name. - Rhaenyra helping Alicent prepare for her wedding. - Speaking of that, the wedding as a WHOLE. I have seen gorgeous bts photos of Emily Carey in an elaborate hairstyle and Targaryen inspired wedding gown, where was that? - Quite literally any scene that reminds us Aegon and Rhaenyra are literally related. - Daemon mourning Laena's passing with his daughters and hugging the two. - Daemon making a toast for Viserys. - Harold Westerling chewing Criston out ("the rats in the Red Keep have more honor than you"). - Rhaenyra and Alicent arguing in the Godswood after she finds out about the marriage.
Even besides the deleted scenes, there are so many other things I wanted to see, like more scenes with Harwin and Rhaenyra, less of Alicent and Cole and Daemon in Harrenhal, a Baela and Jace kiss - for the love of God, why would they cut so many things and refuse to show any others? It's so confusing.
