Speak for yourself. I ain’t sympathizing with a nikka dumb enough to seed up the married queen. Bro was bringing heat and shame to his house.
Should have been watching his brother.

Twitter too busy being butthurt (hah) to realize that this is one of the best portrayals of a gay male character on TV
Just a regular dude who likes dudes, no overly effeminate BS and very likeable. Swap the men with the women and he would be the same character
(sans putting a DAMN BABY IN HER YOU FOOOL)
But Laenor does find milky titties intriguing, so maybe there is some hope yet
Gay breh acting like he couldn't have did his business on his own and umm....got creative with Rhaenyra
Hoes getting pregnant off used condoms, Laenor could've figured something out
Neo. The Only. The One.

how they gonna replace certain actors to age them (alicent, rhaenrya, laenor), age up certain actors (viserys, lyonel), and then other characters look exactly the same (daemon, criston cole, larys)
35 to 45 looks a lot more similar than 15 to 25

As a proud member of #targset since the OG series, I just wish I could step into the GOT world on some reverse breaking the 4th wall steez and yell at these nikkas "NO! Don't do this!
You have 13 dragons!!! Don't you see how strong #targset is right now!!! Nobody wins when the family feuds!!! It's those damn Starks, Baratheons and Lannisters who are the real enemy!!! Go kill them now!!! "
Is Alicent, really a Targaryen b*stard or something? 
Why her kids seem like they eat paint chips? None of them seem like they got it all together.

A lot of y'all are failing to realize, this is not game of thrones.
This show came out the gate with this pacing. Game of thrones set a precedent with its pacing and then in the later seasons said fukk all that.

It's a shame viagra wasn't around for the viserys in those days.
nikka it's a shame they don't have penicillin. He got 5 types of mutated VDs in his body for 20 years. How you the king and looking like the dirtiest mothetfukker in Westeros? Breh looks like he smells like a rotting corpse.
Props to the show for throwing me a curveball. At the start I was expecting Rhae to be some smart scheming girl who just wasn't getting heard. Turns out she just dumb as hell and shouldn't be ruling anything

Targs really got carried by Aegon & dragon eggs for centuries.
Whole family acts like a bunch of teenagers.

Now that the conflict is in full swing I dunno it's not that compelling as I would have liked.
I think the king could have nipped the conflict in the bud if he had an airing of grievances with his wife and daughter. But his tact of acting like there's nothing up with his daughter and her kids was just dumb. You don't have to go public but acknowledge what the Queen is talking about. If communication was a priority the conflict that people are going to die over and a family is going to lose great power over seems pretty dumb.

The nature of empires and dynasties. Mom and Pops scrap a living out of the dirt and turn it into gold, and the kids just want to fukk around and bullshyt.

The showrunners knew this when they took the project on, so I can’t accept this as an excuse for poor storytelling. They knew they were going to have to flesh a lot of this stuff out. I’m not even bothered by the time jumps, but stuff like Strong house mutiny is egregious. I don’t even remember seeing Cripplefinger, his brother, and his father converse. Was he consistently and chronically disrespected? Or is he just a power crazed maniac? We only have our guesses to his motivation. Does anyone even know Cripplefinger’s position in King’s Landing?
I realize how difficult it is to fill in gaps in a story as well fleshed out as ASOIAF. They added very little to GOT early seasons and still inadvertently invalidated Cersei’s prophecy with a 30 second conversation they chose to add. Plus, they have to add to multiple storylines to balance screen times all while keeping the story compelling or risk the audience calling it boring. But, again, this is what they signed up for. And House Of The Dragon has the advantage of being “history” to GOT. So minor misalignment from things we’ve seen/heard in GOT can just be dismissed as the accepted history being inaccurate, which is true of historical stories in our world as well.
Some of their other changes even gave them a reason to flesh things out more. For example, their decision to make the Valryons Black. That made Rhae’s b*stard children far too obvious and in doing so makes Cersei being able to pass her b*stard children off for years look funny in the light. Ned Stark and John Arryn shouldn’t have needed to read some obscure book to get an epiphany with this obvious example being in their history. Furthermore, with how obvious Rhae’s b*stards look, we should have seen the first one born. That was important to show. We should have seen if Rhae truly tried to get Laenor to fulfill his duty and he refused…could’ve drawn parallels between Maegery Tyrell and Renly Baratheon.
I could go on and on. I am thoroughly enjoying this show. It’s nowhere near as bad as seasons 7 and 8 of GOT, but they could’ve handled a lot of this much better. Like someone else said, we have to accept that this won’t be a GOAT level show, but it’s still very entertaining to me.
