My only real issue is the actors they picked to play Aegon and Aemond. Before the previous time jump we had Aegon the tall and skinny young teen that was oblivious to everything and just wanted to goof off and drink. Then you had Aemond the quiet and short one that got his face slashed and became someone totally different after getting the dragon. Now Aemond, while still sadistic, is the tall and skinny one and Aegon is the short one and turned into a douchebag. I hate the flip flop and it makes me constantly have to think of their names besides the obvious eye patch on Aemond. They should’ve just switched the characters and kept up with one being taller than the other.


Why?

Just because the older brother is bigger as kids doesn’t mean he will be when they are men.

Aemond is obviously meant to be the more imposing figure.

by the way, Vaemond wasn't wrong in regards to Rhaenyra being a whore like i've been saying all week. everyone in westeros knows it but won't risk their tongue to say it in public.

RIP Vaemond

I love the choice for Aemond but do agree they missed the mark with Aegon. Aegon doesn’t look much older if at all, and seems shorter. Won’t affect me moving forward, but definitely a thought during the episode.

GREAT episode!

I love the idea of the Dance occurring partly because of a misunderstanding.

Prophecy always poses a problem. Mix prophecy with pure ignorance creates a shite show. Matches GRRM’s vision to a T

Daemon has evolved into the absolute goat of this show. I do wish he wouldve showed some heart and had final words with viserys when he had a chance. But he did immediately slice off idiots head for questioning him

That probably had more to do with calling his wife a whore in packed court than questioning his brother.

We don't know. The last dragon before Dany's died about 150 years earlier. IIRC those eggs were considered dead and petrified when she got them, but that ritual brought magic back into the world and gave birth to dragons again. So they may very well be centuries old.


Yes and no. It is speculated by many that the 3 eggs stolen by Elissa Farmen in the book that belonged to dragon Dreamfyre were Danny’s dragons. Like you said petrified as they were centuries old. Again it’s speculation based on the book.

That was the straw that broke the camels back for sure

How does this show continually impress me? Every episode is well done

Do we know which dragon’s eggs Dany’s are descended from?


there are various theories but nothing has ever been confirmed.

I'm a fan of the theory that they're the three stolen by Elissa Farman and brought to Essos in Fire and Blood. It's suggested they were eggs laid by Dreamfyre, who was Princess Rhaena Targaryean's (King Jaehaerys' older sister) dragon and now dragon of Heleana Targaryean (King Viserys' and Alicent's daughter.)

Well Daemon certainly solidified his place as my favorite

Viserys was a close second. Kind of breaks my heart what happened to him and how he suffered

You can sum this episode up simple. Daemon, frick around and find out. Holy crap. Stared down Aemond and basically said that's enough of this youngster.

Shoutout Viserys for living 20 years beyond the normal trope of “cough into a napkin, dead within a week”

Is Vaemond Velaryon the dumbest motherfricker in the whole game of thrones universe? He’s trying to stake his own claim for the seat at Driftmark to a Hand he knows will listen to him. Then the King shows up unexpectedly. He still chooses to call the king’s daughter a whore and her sons bastards to the King’s face. If Daemon didn’t kill him, one of the Kingsguard would have shortly thereafter.

Dude. Vaemond. Just find a way to assassinate Rhaenyra’s sons. It can’t be that hard. Then Driftmark is yours. You absolute dipshit.

I thought the same thing. Neither has Daemon.

Does riding Vhagar make you age faster?Because Aemond looks older than 75% of the cast now


Viserys’ corpse walk to the throne was epic and a big f you to all the snakes in his court.

Also I like how we’re getting weekly Helaena prophecies. ”Beware the beast beneath the boards.” No clue on this one.

Adult Aemond looks like a complete psychopath. I almost expected him to kill one of the Strong kids at dinner
