22:06 An interesting point here: Rhaenyra doesn't technically lie to Alicent. As you said, Daemon doesn't actually sleep with Rhaenyra - he planned and intended to do it, but at the last moment he couldn't go through with it.
One can quibble over the exact meaning of "touched" (obviously Daemon did touch her in both the most literal and a romantic sense), but it seems clear from context that when Rhaenyra says "he (Daemon) never touched me", she means it specifically in the sense of "we didn't have sex", which is true. That's also how Alicent interprets those words, though she mistakenly expands them to mean that Rhaenyra didn't have sex with anyone - this of course isn't true, but Rhaenrya never actually claimed that.
Naturally, Rhaenyra isn't telling Alicent the whole truth, but nothing she said to Alicent during their conversation is an out-and-out lie. It's the best sort of deception: never technically saying anything untrue, but still deliberately deceiving through omission and allowing someone to draw false conclusions from those statements. Certainly Alicent will view Rhaenrya's words as a lie if/when she finds out everything that actually happened.

Iām really enjoying that two people watching the same show can come to two completely different opinions as to who is in the right, who is acting in their self interests etc.
Theyāre doing brilliantly with setting up viewer camps of Greens Vs Blacks and itās almost artful how theyāre using the āunreliable narratorsā in Fire and Blood.

I've got so much respect for you taking your time to put these videos out. The level of research, and attention to detail really shows. So many videos out there, that come out within hours of the episode airing, trying to hit peak relevancy, at the expense of quality. Your videos are the youtube equivalent of a fine aged wine, or cheese.

i read it as Rhaenya saying she could learn to like the blackwood boy, not the bracken. You could see her smiling while the Blackwood was speaking and to me came off as her thinking he was cute and admired him for coming forward, after the Bracken comment she said 'I could learn to like that one' while speaking about the Blackwood who she was smiling at previously. She was also looking at the Blackwood the entire time while saying her line.

Daemonās sexual failure is 100% related to his political prowess/power. each time we have seen dameon having sex he has been unable to continue, both times in the wake of being less powerful than viserys, or not being able to get what he wants.
In episode 1, he canāt keep going because he is bothered by viserys choosing a new heir.
In episode 4, it seems he canāt keep going because he wants rhanerya, but knows he canāt have her due to viserys.
guarantee we will be seeing some climax to the daemon sex scenes if he wins this power struggle

In fairness to the Brackens, they did originally support the Starks before submitting to Joffrey. They still suck though. Get a free audiobook with an Audible trial: www.audible.com/asx
