I kind of like the way they did it. If I had to wait a whole season in between, I think I would have been very confused as to who was who and what their character did during the prior season.
We shall see. Didn't his actions elevate him from less than human to one of the more powerful Lords in Westeros?
They haven’t fleshed out Larys enough at all. I thought he was a legit schemer (ala Littlefinger), but now he seems like a crazy, wild card. But again, we don’t know bc his character screen time is very light.
Read way too much into the Lore to know it was GOING to happen but didn't know when. I think her running to Dragonstone and his wife dying just made sense...Watching now.
Yeah I’ve seen a couple tweets from people who have seen it early saying this will win all the awards. Easily best episode of the season, I hope so!
Yeah I’m the same way. Definitely could have been better. Man, Viserys had better days. That poor guy.
Paddy Constantine absolutely nailed that episode. I know it’s a ton of CGI but still. The scene of him dragging himself to the throne was incredible. Supposedly Matt Smith ad libbed the part of picking up his crown for him. That’s a quintessential Daemon move and they pulled it off great.
Daemon gets a bad wrap but he seems very family oriented now compared to the first couple of episodes...You can see he pities his brother and his niece...Well....We know all that. The fact he stepped in the middle of Aemon and Lucerys tells a lot of his alliances to Rhaenyra.
They have a shout out to this in Ep1. He cuts his pinky after kicking Daemon out (for the first time😂) that leads to him losing his fingers.
Right, but they don't develop that aspect of the story after that episode. They just show him continuing to lose body parts. Which might be interpreted as him having a poor immune system, being slowly poisoned, etc.
For sure. For some reason they decided to make it pointedly unknown as to what’s causing it. Not sure why.
That final scene was wild. She finally got her moment. Should have ended it right there though!
Well, technically they are all family, so I bet that had something to do with it.
Pretty sure they are clueless. Rhaenys will deliver the news to them when she flys to Dragonstone on her dragon.
At first I was thinking you were wrong because it wouldn't take more than a few hours for a dragon to fly from KL to DS. Then I remembered that they were travelling by ship, so you are probably right. I don't know if the travel time has been documented, but it makes sense that it would take at least 24 hours (depending on weather conditions). So, they will be home by the time Rhaenys arrives, but won't have been home for long.
I disagree. This was the perfect ending (completely subjective haha). This season was the lead up to the Dance of Dragons. “Then the storm broke, and the Dragons Danced.” The war crimes she’s about to commit will be wild.
Well you won't have to wait a full year. More like one and a half. Filming starts spring 23. Probably April 24 release at the earliest.
