Finally the talk about Henry we've been waiting for Sylvester to have.

I found a similar 'celebrity facts accumulated by an algorithm' article but it gave his date of birth as March 12, 2002, making him 20. But another one with the same birth year claims being born in 2002 makes him 22, which is mathematically wrong. Yet another says March 12, 2022, making him seven months old, lol.

D&D outright said that Arya killing the Night King was something they came up with (explicitly they, not George) because it would be less expected than Jon or Dany doing it, so the prophecy making sense was not their priority.

On paper, lords don't have that right in the Seven Kingdoms, but in practice it's hard to enforce. That particular right endured longer in the North than the rest of the Kingdoms, until Good Queen Alysanne had it outlawed during her and King Jaehaerys's royal progress through the North, but some houses such as the Boltons still practice it. Which is what gave us Ramsay.

That and his being seen by Otto and Alicent in private give the impression that, unlike Rhaenyra, Daemon and Rhaenys, Vaemond came in under the radar on purpose.

Spoilers for the resolution of the show's events and afterward:

And not in the Night's Watch. No. Unless the Northern lords really, really wanted it to. See above. The land north of the Wall is still Westeros. Westeros is the continent, the Seven Kingdoms are the country.

Alicent always had religion. Now she gets to blazon it everywhere.

I'll just be happy to see Jenny again, especially if she doesn't look radically different.

As I said above, in all the Seven Kingdoms except Dorne (where the eldest child inherits regardless of sex) all of a lord's daughters come after all his sons regardless of age, but they normally come before their father's younger brothers unless ruled differently for whatever reason because the application of Westerosi law is slapdash. (source: GoT DVD extras. Also we saw in this show that Rhea Royce's male cousin Gerold Royce only became heir to Runestone after she died.) It's different for the Iron Throne because of the precedent set by the Great Council where Rhaenys was passed over despite being the eldest son's daughter, hence Myrcella was not in consideration as long as any male heirs existed. Shireen was Stannis's heir only because he had no sons, living brothers or legitimate nephews. (source: GoT DVD extras)

Not quite. At the time of Rhaenyra and Laenor's wedding (in the show, at least), Aegon is three and Helaena is one. Aemond comes next, so he and Jace would be of an age or nearly so.

In theory, that's correct. By default a lord's daughter, and by extension her children, is supposed to come before said lord's younger brother if said lord has no sons or other living descendants in the direct male line. In practice, the arbitration of these things has been somewhat messy and inconsistent and there are historical examples of daughters or descendants of daughters being passed over. Vaemond seems to have been banking on one or all of the following: Laena herself died before Corlys, her daughters have the Targaryen name, the Hightower-Targaryen political faction would like his support, an adult male military commander looks like a more stable prospect than a teenage girl, possible appeal to internal Valyrian/Velaryon/non-Westerosi tradition, etc. Plus, Baela and Rhaena are close to people whom he's not enamoured of.

Dany, who doesn't know the significance of what Rhaegar was talking about in her vision, muses at one point that there was no Visenya, but we don't know what Rhaegar thought or whether he cared about the gender of his third child; all he said in Dany's vision was three heads. It's possible, but personally I think the Aegon name was just D&D compositing in the Aegon storyline from the books and I lean towards Lyanna never having named Jon. Which would have been less dramatic for their purposes.

I think you mean Aegon V, Aegon the Unlikely, aka Egg from the Dunk and Egg stories, and his brother Maester Aemon (without the D). Aegon IV was Aegon the Unworthy, their great-grandfather, an all-around nasty fellow. Yes, it was implied they tried to hatch dragons at Summerhall at least, and it went wrong. Rhaegar was born at Summerhall on the same day it happened, which is likely why he initially thought he was The Prince That Was Promised after researching it, and later thought that his son Aegon was. The jury's still out on whether the prophecy refers to Jon, Dany or both of them. They've both had signs pointing that way (Jon has a dream where his sword glows red like the real Lightbringer, Dany was born at the place of salt and smoke and has woken dragons from stone, which is apparently something Azor Ahai is supposed to do given that Mel, who doesn't know Dany's already done it, keeps trying to get Stannis to do it), and there are supposed to be three "heads" of the dragon, with no definitive answer in the books yet.

I believe Cambrigeguy is referencing how Daemon said that he did that cleansing because he believes all the people of King's Landing deserve to feel safe. Also, he shows at least some respect for Mysaria, who is a commoner. Funnily enough Tom Glynn-Carney (Aegon) is 27 and Ewan Mitchell (Aemond) is 20.

Sylvester's reaction to the painting erases any doubts that he has PTSD.

Yes, the Baratheons are descended from Aegon the Conqueror's bastard half-brother Orys Baratheon, who was one of his generals in the Conquest. Orys killed the last storm king of the Stormlands, Argilac Durrandon ("Argilac the Arrogant") in battle and later married his daughter Argella. The Durrandon words, colors and symbol became the Baratheons'. They've had other marriages with the Velaryons and Targaryens since then as well. Which is why Rhaenys addressed Lord Boremund Baratheon as "cousin" at the tourney; her mother was Jocelyn Baratheon. And part of the reason why Robert was hailed as king rather than Jon Arryn, Ned or Tywin; his paternal grandmother was Princess Rhaelle Targaryen. (These facts are present in the Baratheon lineage book Ned consults in Game of Thrones and the DVD/Blu-Ray historical extras, so it's not book talk strictly speaking, also it's just history and doesn't spoil anything.) House Celtigar on Claw Isle off the coast of the Crownlands (the area around King's Landing and Dragonstone) is also originally Valyrian but hasn't kept the look.

Times change. For example, the Presbyterian Church in America preached strict abstinence from alcohol until the 1980s.

Beekeeping suits were developed in the 16th century, though the mask didn't provide much visibility.

Although the woman he was with might have.

Hmm, interesting question. Would organic "gems" like pearls, jet and amber count? No pun intended. ;) His name being spelled "Gemmy" would continue with the pun, but it's actually "Jemmy", from Jeremiah. It seems like gemstones just react strongly to Jemmy's touch (possibly because he has a double dose of time traveler genes like Bree speculated), I don't think someone can travel with just a gemstone and no stone circle or pool.

I have Spectrum, and adding Starz Encore to my package only costs an additional $9 per month, plus as Scarlett45 said it's easy to cancel. If you're in New York (and not NYC) like I am, then you also get pro-rated for the rest of the month if you cancel before it's over, but not if you're in another state or NYC. I wouldn't say that. The men who commit rape in this show are explicitly scalawags, scoundrels, ruffians, outlier cases, dregs of society. Unfortunately, Claire and her family run into such people multiple times.

Because it's a moment like that is not supposed to be clear until afterward, I would think, just as it wouldn't be clear to Claire what she did while it was happening. Making it more precise takes the tension and relief out of Jamie's survival.

I first heard of him as Mordred in Merlin and now know him best as Dorian Gray in The Confessions of Dorian Gray: https://www.bigfinish.com/ranges/v/the-confessions-of-dorian-gray
