Can you please keep responding in the thread? I haven’t been able to grasp the depth of how much you don’t care about the show through your bleeding thus far.

Not reading this whole thread but I assume these thoughts are in it. I did not read the books and don't care to.

Birth scenes, I'm done with them and this one was too much. JFC.

Show seemed predictable. The whole death at the end ypu saw coming a mile away.

Show should have ended with the last episode. This Show was the weakest of the season. Not much of a cliffhanger.

If people have to wait 2 years for a new season HBO better have something else to keep people watching their stuff.

Lol wow what a take. You don’t need a cliffhanger every season. The episode began with restraint against war and ended with obvious rage that will lead to war. That’s enough to get people to return come season 2.

yea, I think cliffhangers have been way overdone as of late. its actually refreshing to not end with one esp when the next season is so far away. imo cliffhangers are for mid-season breaks.

Show didn’t need a cliff hanger ending in any way. It ended at the perfect moment with aemon killing luc.

Just watched the episode and will read these 17 pages later. My takeaway is that I am pissed we have to wait two years now.

It's go time. Let's get it on!

Watched the episode last night. Thought it was the best one yet. Great directing and cinematography. I told my wife I would have liked to have seen the actress that plays Rhaenyra play Daenerys in the original GOT. She's sells her character better for me and seems like a better actress overall.

I don't know if I'd go that far, but I will say she has absolutely knocked it out of the park. Everyone was upset that the original Rhaenyra was getting replaced, myself included b/c she was great as well, but Emma D’Arcy has totally surprised me with how good she is doing in this role.

minor critique

daemon and rhaenyra left KL with viserys basically walking dead. Everyone knows he’s about to die. So they go home and just...wait?

why haven’t they scoured the realm for allies already? Why haven’t they traveled to every house to re-secure alliances and get ready to take over? She’s the heir, she can go anywhere and do anything she wants in the crowns name. They already know the lannisters and hightowers are a lost cause, they should have been ready for this.

Well Rhaenyra was supposed to be flying back to Kings Landing right after she got back home. Remember she told Alicent that she'd come back after dropping her kids off at Dragonstone. I think it was only a couple of days between when they left Kings Landing to the events of the Finale (I could be wrong there).

I did have a question to anyone who knows. Who was the 3rd dragon seen when the kids flew away from Dragonstone? Was that Rhaenys going to patrol like she said she would?

Daemon was definitely in on it, the scene that shows this is when he kills the guard on the staircase. That guard was the body that they threw in the fire and burned. Otherwise, why would Daemon kill that guard?



Thanks!

yes I suppose that’s true but realistically while viserys is alive she could have and should have done more (perhaps not personally but certainly by proxy). Anyway, minor criticism as I said

Yes that was rhaenys on dragon #3. Speaking of dragons it wasn’t until you saw vhagar next to Luke’s dragon that you realize how massive she is. I thought that was really well done.

So what’s the plan with the riderless dragon daemon goes to meet? Wiki says that’s king jahaerys’ dragon (vermithor?). Who else can ride?

Drogon from GOT is way bigger than their dragons and he's still 1/3 the size of Vhagar.

Wasn't there something in the original ASIOF where they talked about how inbreeding of the dragons resulted in the last ones before Dany's wedding present eggs being the size of chickens?

Also worth saying at this point, is for all the handwringing that Emma D’Arcy might not be as good as their predecessor, they have 100% knocked it out of the park.

SHE. IDGAF what her pronouns are. XX chromosomes = "she" and anyone saying otherwise is pandering to an unchecked mental illness.

Daemon has a daughter with no dragon.

May be dumb question but how would the Blacks actually even know Aemond killed him if it was just them in that scene?

That's a pretty reasonable question, IMO. Unless you're a farmer tending to his fields while Arrax confetti falls from the sky (assuming it's not over water), only Aemon would know what happened, right?
