In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

It got me thinking, that marrying 14 year olds (not just in this fictional piece) was sorta accepted back ages ago. Imagine in 50-100 years, that the age is pushed and marrying a woman under 21 is seen as not good.
Anyway, random thought.I dont think Emilia is a bad actress. I thought she did really well with s8 despite the script and what was offered to her in latter seasons.

I would say that getting married when you’re under 21 is generally seen as a pretty bad idea right now.
The more we see Milly Alcock acting the feck out of that character the betterPaddy is also doing a great job at playing the weak, uncertain, second guessing king.
I see him in most of us, if we're at his position... his moves aren't actually unpredictable.
That's the thing, not everyone is fit to be a king.
It's easy for us to see who's who and what's what since we see with the eye of god.
If you only sees what he sees and hears It's not as clear cut
What I am saying is this character is supposed to be that way and the actor portrays it adequately.
It's a bit of a common misconception that people got married that early in the middle ages. For one thing, puberty generally came later. They definitely married earlier than today, but getting married at 14 was mostly just for nobility.
That was great. Closest to Game of Thrones season one so far.
Agree that Milly Alcock is brilliant and will be a huge miss.

Yeah I'm enjoying it quite a lot. We'll see how it goes once they start doing more fighting scenes, I haven't been too impressed so far (though the jousting wasn't bad).
It's a good show so far but looking on Reddit reminds me why I stopped following shows on there.
Majestic this, awe-inspiring that. Shut up.

Daemon is majestic and awe-inspiring though
Still, even if for nobility , then it was still a thing. Right?
I've liked the non CGI stuff so far in terms of duels and battles. Interested as you said when more fighting stuff happens as the first one wasn't good
Sure, to a certain extent. Building alliances and all that. In that sense it's not unrealistic at all.
I really didn't like the beach fight, but mostly for writing reasons. I guess it also didn't really give a proper sense of scale, like something like Hardhome or Blackwater. Though I think they're probably saving 'scale' for later.
She's 22 but I fully take your point! She does look and act like a child (unsure what Rhaenyra's age is supposed to be), which made all the sex scenes a rather uncomfortable watch for me. Add that to the fact that she was going to do her uncle ... geez
Can't unsee this.
A lot of how well this season works as a whole will rest on how well the time shift works.
Who was the knight dude who grabbed the princess when she was running away? What was that interaction about?
Dull episode I thought but then the overall story arc just doesn't seem to be that interesting to me compared to Game Of Thrones.
What it does have however particular in regards to Rings of Power is that the acting in this is pure quality by pretty much everyone in the show.

And does the morning after drink imply that her night guard got the princess knocked up?
I though episode 3 was a step up again so I'm gradually enjoying it more. Not fussed about the implausibility of some of the big battle scene as I don't expect too much reality from fantasy popcorn. Still missing a Bron and Tyrion type interaction to lighten the mood a bit. And the lack of gratuitous nudity makes it a bit one paced outside the battel scenes. Although given the number of young princesses involved I can see why.
She said Harwin, which would be Harwin Strong the brother of the club-footed guy. He was smiling in admiration when she marched into camp bloodied by the boar in the previous episode.
They seem to be giving us hints that we‘ll be seeing more of those guys in the future.
Every time I see him I think "that should be Haaland".Can't unsee this.
No, I don't think so, just something you do to make sure you aren't pregnant, it would take many weeks to know you're pregnant.
Think it meant that the king did not believe that his daughter didn't sleep with someone
While at the same time showing that he's willing to brush it under the carpet and go with her story
PTSD with PTWP
Yes Sir!
I believe it is to ensure you aren't pregnant.
How I saw it. He didnt fully believe his daughter, but doesnt have full details (but a precaution to ensure shes not 'tainted' before marriage) Basically covering tracks right?
Isn't she kind of tainted permanently since somebody already slipped her a length?
This show is not realistic enough. Every time a couple copulate, it results in a pregnancy. I for one, would appreciate seeing the hundreds of attempts it can actually take before the sperm does it's thing
But a potential new partner doesnt need to know right? Pregnancy makes it a fact. Im guessing her just saying shes a virgin would be accepted.
Did you not watch the first or second episode?
Why the actual feck would you not put a warning that that’s a book spoiler?
Seriously feck off with all the spoilers.
