Felt like a setup episode . Daemon and Aegon scenes were the only outstanding plot points . Rhae and Alicent meeting was okay . Everything else was mad fillerish :ld:
I don't think any of it was filler, but it was a lot of board moving. Joffrey, Rhaena and her lil brothers shipped to the Vale. Cole, Gwayne and the crownland armies out in the field. Daemon taking Harrenhall. A dude claiming he is a Targaryen b*stard/half-brother of Daemon. First battle of the war between the strongest armies in the Riverlands, with both the greens and blacks setting out to add them to their side.

I'm not a book reader. What makes Harrenhal and Riverrun so important that both sides feel that they have to have it???

It's very strategically located, dominating the central stretch of the Kingsroad, the northern approaches to King's Landing, and much of the southern Riverlands, which explains why so many armies use it as a base of operations. Its also so huge that it can comfortable house any army that any Westerosi lord can muster.

In peacetime, the title comes with some of the wealthiest and most productive lands in Westeros, and is well-positioned for trade. Harrenhal is also the largest castle in Westeros and was once the "seat of kings", and is one of the only great castles in the realm that is not ruled by an ancient house that's had for millennia. Being granted Harrenhal can turn families like the Lothstons or Whents, landless household knights, into one of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms overnight. There's no other title in the world that can lift a man that high up the ladder so fast.
