am enjoying the show far more than I would have thought. I am nervous about the cast changes, but we shall see.
Not sure about the Rhaenyra swap but I will say the Alicent swap will be pretty seamless. I would swear the girl playing her now is just a young version of Olivia Cooke. Cooke is a pretty good actress too so that should be fine.

I'm with you on that skepticism.
Goes to show how much seeing a performance can change your opinion.
In all the previews and trailers I thought the older actress looked much more comfortable in the role and the young Rhaenyra looked a bit stiff and lacking personality. Now I wonder if the previews I saw with the older actress being more emotive is going to feel out of place with the sort of stoic, calculating, and dry wit qualities this actress brings to the character that works so well.
Hope not, but do wonder if this will be another Octavian from Rome situation. Where the younger actor owned the role so well, and while the replacement wasn't bad, it felt like a completely different character.
