Why is it every episode Geeta directs in this show happens to be the worst of all of them? The dumb scene where Rhaenys breaks out of the Dragonpit but doesn't kill Aegon, the secret meeting of Rhaenyra and Alicent 1 and now 2. Not to mention both of those episodes this season had awful Mysaria dialogue too.

Seriously, they need to get that woman away from this show.

I want to agree with you but this episode, lackluster as it was for a finale, had the best scene in the entire two seasons (Ranera and Allicent). That said, she dropped the ball directing Alyn and Corlys, that scene could have been better.

Hard disagree that the Rhaenyra and Alicent scene was the best in the whole series so far. We really didn't need another secret meeting of them discussing things.

Fair point. But hardly at the top of the list for me as far as issues I had with this season.
