Interesting. He has an incredibly punchable face and is shaping up to be a badass so I'm interested in seeing more. I can tell he's a terrible person but he's good for TV. |

I believe it. There is a lot going on in this show, easy to miss things.
Which reminds me: who did Viserys think he was speaking to when he was dying, talking about Aegon's prophecy? Aemma? Rhaenyra? |
Quote:
But since it was Alicent she's going to interpret it as him saying put Aegon (her son) on the throne which will kick off the whole civil war |
the tea thing is ambiguous but I interpreted it as a parallel to Viserys giving Rheanerya the same tea to cover up her potential embarrassment to save face. previous Alicent was very "everything is black and white" morally and now she sees the value in saving face just like Viserys did

Yeah, I got that much. That was pretty on-the-nose. I just couldn’t remember the exact particulars of what Rhaenyra had said to him when they were in his chambers early in the episode. |
GRRM blog:
- says he thinks 4 seasons of 10 episodes would be perfect for the story. I think most agree with this, including the showrunners and HBO hopefully - confirms the existence of a character, which I personally never doubted (he's a huge character and I trust the showrunners, they've earned it, plus the opening credits), but a bunch of people were stressing about

i just took it as his brain being fried since he confused Alicent for Aemma at the funeral for Laena (? I think it was her) |

Viserys looked more like a white walker than a living man. Very good episode...

I chuckled. He did look like the undead. |

I don't hate Matt Smith as much in that role as I thought I would, but man, I think 'old Daemon' would've absolutely killed it. He's just a letter perfect representation of the character as I've always read him. Lean and angular, mean as a viper, incredibly athletic and dangerous. Like I said - mostly a badass. |
Quote:
Yeah, there's no way they can pull that off well. I feel like they just kinda rolled his character into Aemond. |

Interesting you say mean a viper. His demeanor gave me snake vibes. He spends the entirety of the dinner stock-still, like he’s just waiting for shit to pop off so he can strike. |

Really enjoyed the episode tonight.

We now know that Larys Strong is Rex Ryan lol

What an episode. So little talk or does it normally come during the week?
This is why I haven't checked out this thread until last week. Figured the show wasn't a big thing here. Man what a show. Granted I'm an ASOIAF universe fanboy, but objectively it makes it REALLY hard for me to watch other TV. The acting, music, directing, production, everything is just so ****ing high-quality. And then I'm just a sucker for the world. |
There isn't generally as much discussion here as there was in the prime of GoT, but it seems most here agree it's a damn good show.
I don't typically watch until Monday or Tuesday. If you've got something you want to discuss, you should kick it off. Just be sure to spoiler anything major until later on in the week. |
Yeah, I don't talk a whole lot on here because spoilers are an issue with streaming, but technically if you paid attention during GOT, you know exactly what happens to Rhaenyra. If you read the books, you pretty much know the big event that is happening in the finale and it looks freaking epic!!!!

The queen lets Larys jerk off looking at her feet. LMAO.. that's so GoT...

This season is just setting up the story and has been much more entertaining than season 1 of Game of Thrones. |
Quote:
Well.. didn't take long for Aemond to pine for the throne lol |
Another good episode. They really just swooped in there and took the crown before anyone knew what was happening.
Spoiler!
I really don't like Ser Criston. Dude is such a simp.
Spoiler!

Quote:
At the start of the series I thought Criston was gonna be a pretty cool good. Helluva fighter, loyal, etc. Then he had that fling with the princess, and just turned into an epic simp that I can no longer stand. Good effort by that actor. I hate the guy. Regarding the second spoiler,
Spoiler!

The people posting in here think it’s a good show too. Just not traffic like GOT thread. It’s first season is better than some years of GOT and it’s spending all year explaining who and why the dudes are in the next 3 years of war. Maybe some are wanting a Hardhome, battle of bastards level show before moving on from the season 8 debacle of GOT. |
Awesome episode. Prime GOT with nothing but the music and acting conveying so much.
|
Question for the group. If it’s a spoiler in the books, spoiler it but I’ve not read the books so no idea.
Bran can go back in time. All the way back to the first men. So could he be causing this or manipulating people and or events to keep their GOT history on trek? |

Spoiler!
That's how I see it at least. No book canon there. Heck, even the book canon is unreliable accounts of history. That's why it's such good source material, so much flexibility for the writers. |
Daemon is going to **** some shit up, and I'm here for it.
|
She shoulda cooked 'em.

And while i agree with your statement, GOT had the mystery and intrigue of the White Walkers, which is something missing from HOTD. After finishing HOTD S1, i'm not left with the same kind of intrigue as i had with GOT S1. There's going to be a war. Cool. We all knew that. There's no, "WTF are those zombie things and how is that going to come into play?" that GOT had. |

I'm not going to spoil anything, but based on what I've read about the book and the previews to next week.... We're in for a good one. |
Alright, what's the consensus on this one? Worth watching? I haven't seen a single bit of content from this series yet.
|
I would skip this one and go with go with lord of the rings

They are literally family and kinslaying is 1 of the absolute worst things in Westeros. What have any of them done to deserve death (BY Rhaenys as the executioner), ESPECIALLY Helaena and other innocents up there? What would the fallout be if she murdered the royal family? Every House in the realm would rise against her. (Granted, they don't have dragons, but STILL. WHY?!) What WAS stupid was coming up through the ceiling in the first place. Especially if she only intended to leave. Whatever kind of show of force or intention that was supposed to be, I mean it was just unnecessary (i.e. killing the small folk). The second she flies to Dragonstone the greens know what's up. And they already know she has a dragon. I just don't buy that she accomplishes anything with her actions. I will say this, although I still don't agree with the way it was handled.
Spoiler!

I do hope S2 gives more screen time to ... no spoilers so I'll just throw out names who could deserve more screen time ... Helaena, Jace, Baela, Rhaena, Harrold Westerling, the Cargyll twins, and multiple other characters yet to come. And then there's THAT guy who will add a VERY different flavor to the green side. |

That kid fighting pit addition was up there on the GoT list of horrific shit for me.

Whatever. I get it. It just doesn't do much for me. Quote:
I sound like a giant pussy here - the feet thing is whatever. But I legitimately can't do kids suffering. They didn't stuff it down my throat but I'm not here for that. Even before I had kids, I'll watch dudes murder the **** out of each other all day long. But not kids man. I can't do kids suffering. It'll be interesting to see how that story develops, they spent a lot of time there for it to be just a one off thing. Quote:
But here, where there are real stakes, he showed appropriate restraint and still executed his duty admirably. Besides, he is absolutely not wrong. And it's hard to mother**** that dude when he's saying that. Plus, when the family was staring down the face of death, his face was the only one with a reaction I cared about. Really strong performance, and quite the heel turn from my perspective. Quote:
Hat tip to Westerling. BAMF right there definitely with Ser Barriston Selmy vibes. I'm all about that. Quote:
Surprisingly, there weren't a bunch of deaths to start with other than that dude that kept bothering Rhyneara about if he could help her. I was shocked to see that dude eat shit. RIP to dude that wasn't a mother****er. Quote:

Sorry. My computer went ape shit. It’s a really ****ing old rig that was hot spotted through my phone on the tractor.
I shouldn’t post on the tractor. And that computer probably needs to go. My bad. |
So if you want your mind blown, I had the Replacements on in the background because why not. The credits pop up and I see a name that looks familiar. And yep. Otto Hightower is Nigel ****ing Gruff. CANNOT BE UNSEEN.
