100%. Daemon is the best character in the show.

Yep. If it weren't for Matt Smith and Milly Alcock I don't think I'd be watching this show right now. Their performances are solid and I dread Emma D'Arcy's coming because I just don't see how she can outperform Alcock as an older Princess Rhaenyra.

I just watched it. Holy shite that was a great episode. Especially the last 20 min or so.

Walking out of the cave dragging half the crab feeder with his guts hanging out was so badass. That beach scene is one of the best scenes in all of GOT for me.

That was a badarse ending

They’re giving the show plenty of money on the budget to make it look good

Really enjoying it

I thoroughly enjoyed the first two episodes although I’m ready for some action.

I did enjoy seeing all those archers miss Daemon While we know Ramsay Bolton could hit Rickon at 300 yards

Not as easy as you think to hit a moving target

Didn't they get him 2 or 3 times? I mean, obviously he was wearing some plot armor but it's not on a Star Wars Stormtrooper level...

Dude took at least 3 arrows. He had one in the leg and two in the chest.

Ramsey had the field pre marked for distances.

Add in the lack of zig zaggin and having the target run straight away from you.

Kind of like the difference in shooting clays standing by the thrower versus off at an angle.

She's doing a fine job acting but she has one expression - resting bitch face. You guys are obviously the bigger fans.

As someone who wasn't that thrilled after the first episode, it's gotten a lot better. I've enjoyed the last two.

Was coming to say this. Huge difference hitting a kid running directly away from you in a field with distance markers vs. hitting a target on a real battlefield, running across your field of vision and zig zagging through cover.

What Ramsey did was more like the “hunt” in this episode than real battle. And he probably did it with better gear (particularly arrows) than these archers that have been holed up in a cave forever.

As someone else said there’s obviously a little bit of plot armor involved but I didn’t think it was egregious.

Anyhow, this was a good episode. Daemon’s response to the king’s offer of assistance was a nice twist. (I haven’t read the books so I have no idea whether this was already written.)

Seems like Viserys is probably gonna regret swearing on his wife’s memory at some point.

Show has been fantastic so far. As others have mentioned I’m going to miss Molly Alcock. Wasn’t a fan in the first episode but she’s grown on me. Completely nailed episode 3.

Dude is a warrior and showed it here in this scene, he just acted plum carazy. Lol But it is hard to hit a moving target with shooting arrows and all, he was running fast. They were shooting at him from a distance, arrows aren't bullets, they don't arrive as fast. But this was a powerful scene, I expected his dragon to show up and fry them. I guess you gotta be on them to give the order "Dracarys".
