Final time jump is coming. Lot of ways it could have been handled. It could have been like Godfather II where you you have flashbacks sprinkled throughout. Or they could have simply started with everyone grown and ready to go, without any flashbacks. Ultimately I think it was the right decision to start from the beginning because it's important to establish that Rhae and Alicent were once best friends and as close as sisters. It was also important to establish various other things (the up/down history of Daemon, Corlys' early ambitions, Otto's influence, etc).

My issue is that I simply think they failed to establish a lot of the side characters at various moments. Like tonight with Laenor...he didn't have a single dialogue scene with his sister, as an adult or child. That's just weird to me. Similar to the way Harwin Strong barely had any scenes with Rhae before the wedding feast.

BTW now that's it's happened...remember Helaena Targaryen's comments on Aemond when he told their mom about the flying pig? "He'll have to close an eye...." Listen carefully to what she says in episodes.

Dope ass ep. Finally decided which team I’m riding with.

Alicent, nah. Rhaenyra? Hell no. Gotta be team Viserys. He’s the only decent guy in the show. I’m praying the fly in some holistic maesters and get him back in good health and have him on the throne for a couple more seasons.

Seriously tho, he might be the only character that isn’t driven by selfishness or just a straight up POS.
Viserys in my top 3-5 of both shows already :blessed:

No Whammies!!
:laff:

This nikka didn't even care that his wife and her uncle tried to have him killed. Mans gave that speech about wanting to be a husband now under duress.

Soon as he saw a way out, he sashayed right up outta there to brighter horizons and more lusty boys. :dame:

Ironically, he got to live out Ser Criston Cole's dream.

Good episode, I know it's GoT but the incest is getting too much now, Rhea/Damon just doesnt sit well even for GoT standards

I don't like how they are doing the only black family as well :mjpls:


Sir Cole the biggest bytch on the show
