HoTD is still in it’s infancy basically and it’s already improved and polished certain things from GoT and the show has easily done things far better than most of the last few seasons of GoT down to the writing and cinematography. HoTD obviously isn’t meant to be a replacement or direct comparison to a sprawling fantasy opera like GoT, but the intimacy of the family drama/timeperiod in HoTD as well as how they portray House Targaryen at it’s peak, and it’s still going strong and we have 5 episodes left

Thank you Adam for acknowledging that there are no photos in Westeros lmfao. See so many people say things like, 'how is she not being recognized?!' Like bro it's not like everyone sees the queens face as much as we do they prob just have a vague idea of what she looks like, and if the hair is covered there's no way some random would be able to recognize her off of face alone.

@@Xionize Not the common folk but surely the Gold Cloaks would. Also it's just really bad setup on several levels. Making Rhaenyra "peaceful" unintentionally has made all the trauma she endured in the lead-up feel pointless if this is the turning point because neither of them should really even want to talk to each other. Also why didn't Alicent call the guards after she left? Wasn't her goal "Aegon on the throne with Rhaenyra bending the knee?"

something i think this episode was good at was letting us know where rhaenyra and alicent stand with each other right now. how complex it all is in that they do still love each other and want to get through to the other but there’s so much in the way of that. i read an article about this episode and they said ‘it feels like each time alicent and rhaenyra are shut down, they think of each other, as if they’re wishing that their closest friend up until this point was with them to defend them. even amidst family deaths that they believe the other guilty for, these two are still yearning for a relationship that is impossible in the world they find themselves in, and it makes it all the more tragic.’ and i really saw that in their interaction this episode

It's one of the theories, the other one being that Morning will not exist (which pisses fans off, because it's literally an important dragon and a very cute one at that) but Rhaena will rather try and attach herself to an already existing/alive dragon, thus "stealing" the role of another character who would then not appear in the show (which, also pisses fans off lol)

The two Houses fighting at the start were Blackwoods and Brackens. They don't really need a reason to fight each other. Just a place. Also, the Blackwood was Samwell. We saw him last season.

Rhaenyra channels the Conciliator, Jaehaerys, to avoid war. Alicent, **Pikachu Face** ---Alicent has left the chat. Rhaenyra switches channeling to The Conqueror, Aegon.

“Housekeeping” you guys are so funny.

One of the thing I love so much about you guys is how Adam, you're always looking out for Jay and check in with him. It's not done in jest but in concern.

Otto Hightower actually ordered a Kingsguard to kill Rhaenyra and her kids immediately after the death of Vicerys, so it is naive of Rhaenys and Rhaenyra to think he wouldn’t do it.

The eggs are not Dany's (unless they do that for the show only). But the episode director intend to give us the idea that they are. She didn't considered the books, but only one of them goes with the boys to Pentos, for Viserys. The other 3 stay with Rhaena. They resemble Dany's but even in this take are diferent.I can't explain more without spoilers hahah But three eggs were stolen during Jaehaerys' reign, taken to Essos and were never officially found. Btw, you guys are the best of the best ♥️

Those eggs are confirmed to be Dany’s eggs, the silver one is Morning, Rheana’s dragon

Well, technically, the town of Bayeux got to the weaving of tapestry first.

Very glad they came to a conclusion for the whole "It's all just an honest mistake by Alicent, it was all a misunderstanding". Now Alicent and Rhaenyra both know what really was said and what Vicerys probably meant. Sure, we know Otto would have still attempted a coup. But I'm just glad that we are now past that trope.

I don't necessarily think Alicent's 'it's too late Rhaenyra' means she'll do nothing. The seed of doubt has clearly been planted. The way Olivia Cooke played the scene and said its too late seems more like a 'I don't know what I can do now it's so far gone' instead of a 'fuck you you're wrong my son's the king'. Olivia even said in an interview that this moment kicks off the start of the rest of Alicent's life so it clearly has an impact.

Honestly loving the perspectives of the common folk in this show so far, it’s an angle of the civil unrest that game of thrones doesn’t touch on nearly as much Honestly it’s a wonder the common folk don’t full on rebel against the nobility at any point in these shows

That was NOT Rhaenyra's fault AT ALL! She can't control Daemon, no one can. She never even said she wanted him to go kill Aemon, let alone a child. When she found out, she immediately kicked him out, as I was hoping she would. She's one of the few good and honorable people in this story, and easily my favorite.
