As a father he wants his daughter to be happy but in doing so he is really weakening himself and frankly feeding Rynera's worst personality traits, but you can feel his struggle and I think he is genuinely trying to do the right thing...but its the weak thing.Rynera is doing herself no favors. While she looked good in the first few episodes up against Damon, as she has grown into a teenager frankly she's a brat. For all her talk of getting supplanted in the succession, she is acting like a terrible heir: being petulant, spoiled, argumentative, and filled with nothing but complaints. She acts like limited control is no control, she is pissed she has to get married yet tries to exert no power or control over the choice until its basically thrown in her lap at the end of the episode. Instead of trying to reinforce her father's choice in her, every action she takes makes that choice look worse and worse. I am hoping that Boar (and the stag) will act as a bit of a wake up call, telling her to get her s*** in gear and start acting like she actually wants the job.As for the end battle scene.... we have moved back into the late GOT era school of tactics. So the master plan is to send Damon out alone....hope he doesn't get instantly killed by hundreds of arrows (and of course he doesn't, because that late GOT era plot armor is back on the menu), and somehow this will coax the enemy to send out their entire army. Because.....why would they do that exactly? For all accounts the Crab guy (can't remember his name) has shown himself to be a cautious and shrewd tactician, able to beat a superior force that includes dragons. Hell the entire battle scene we see how paranoid he is about dragons, constantly checking the skies. Yet when he has Damon dead to rights, instead of...you know.... having an archer just finish the job, or send like 10 guys to surround him and take him out....he sends his whole army because reasons. It makes no sense, it's an incredibly stupid plan...and if we were back into early GOT logic.... Damon would be food for the crabs at this point.Now if they had gone with what it first appeared, that Damon had gone rogue and took an insanely risky gambit that just let him get close enough to the Crab guy to take it out....I could buy that. Damon seems the type that would easily rather go out in a blaze of glory rather than have to bow before his brother again for bailing him out.</blockquote>
