Since 2007, Jezebel has been the Internet's most treasured source for everything celebrities, sex, and politics...with teeth.
All these years later, medieval incel Criston Cole can’t get over a teenage girl not wanting to run away with him.
Sunday’s episode picks up after the shock killing of the child prince, which everyone appears to be processing in their own ways. Otto Hightower—Alicent’s father and the King’s Hand—sees the development as a PR slam-dunk to blame and demonize Rhaenyra before the realm; King Aegon is predictably bloodthirsty; Prince Aemond is sad-horny for his much-older mommy-lover; and Criston Cole is determined to deflect the blame onto anyone but himself.
After all, within days of Rhaenyra rejecting him last season, Criston shows up to her wedding and quite literally kills someone . And his disgust with her proposal that they remain lovers clearly wasn’t really about honor and religious faith, either—look at what he’s doing, now, with the Queen Mother.
Criston’s entire positioning with the Hightowers, tracing back to Season 1 when Alicent stops him from killing himself at Rhaenyra’s wedding, is largely about punishing Rhaenyra for rejecting him nearly two decades later. For all Criston’s preaching to Arryk about the importance of honoring their vows and duties as knights of the Kingsguard, you can only really laugh at the hypocrisy of the spectacle.
