The episode while good wasn't fun. Every character was just moody, they really needed some light hearted character / dialog for contrast.

Moody characters aren't interesting. In GoT S1 the only moody character was Ned, everyone else had range that hid how Fd up they were.


Thank you, yes, you nailed it.

Well you have also only gotten an hour of screen time with all the characters. The girl was lighthearted up until her mom died.

No doubt. Daemon was right when he called Viserys weak. Funny how his namesake later was also weak.

*** Viserys 1 rash/wound is definitely Greyscale right?

I don't remember the signs of greyscale but he being pricked apart by the throne. He had the spot on his back and he also gained a cut on his hand during the episode after talking to daemon

WTF is this??

Replace white with literally any other race and the statement still holds true.

True, which is why I said that I will keep watching in hopes of good character development. First episode doesn't inspire a ton of hope for me though.

It sets the stage for inter-family strife to sit on the throne. Same family where every family member has a pet dragon. Same family that intermarries causing even more inter family riffs. Targs were the most powerful family to ever exist in ASOIAF. Shite to hit the fan bigly.

I’m not sure if this point has been made but while Dameon might be a douche he isn’t hiding who he is and he actually seems to be right about the people on Viserys’ small council only working for themselves. Otto however definitely seems to be plotting something since he just sent his daughter to frick Viserys right after his wife and son died

Looked like he dismissed that, right? Or did he frick her?

I understand the events that transpired, and what they are setting up


None of the characters/actors move the needle much for me. This is my concern dude.

Yeah I can see that. Viserys was purposefully made to look weak. Otto was kind of deadpan. I guess I have a bit of faith because the story line is already set up for it to be intriguing.

Favorite part of first episode was when Dameon was about to give his speech in the whorehouse and one of his baws said EVERYONE STOP what you are doing and in the background you could see one of the whores stopping while on top of her man and turning to listen to his speech. My wife was the first one to notice this while we were watching and I was like " she's right you know" mem popped in my head

BTW we enjoyed the first episode and it's great getting some GOT back.

He may very well be but casting a black man to be a Targaryen makes zero sense and feels like a forced woke agenda



he is not a Targaryen

Isnt she the one who everyone on the first page was bitching about being the non-binary actress? Looks like a woman to me, but agree I would’ve expected/hoped for a hotter princess in the likes of Dany. She’s definitely bucktoothed

She's very ugly

What is it with people getting upset about people not loving the first episode? Its just a TV show for Christ's sake. I'm actually pretty shocked that so many on here liked it so much.


You seem upset that people do not agree with you.

No. She looks like a child. She looks like most blondes without their faces painted.

But she still looks like a kid

Pretty sure that's not a legal jousting move but he is a Targ so nobody was going to say anything.


You would think except the rider he did this to was the son of the Hand of the King and one of the most powerful families in the kingdom at that time.
