  1. This is just a guess...but I think Daemon is trying to "claim" Vermithor for his daughter...Rheana....in the scene where he said some of the older dragons were riderless the scene i believe then cut to her...and maybe this is his way of making up for "losing Vhegar" to Aemond.... He also then mentions these wild dragons who live on the island....he thinks they can claim them? Who's going to ride them? I'm with Queen Rhae on that one....they are really no match dragon wise to Vhegar...maybe IF someone can ride Vermithor, but they don't really have 13 to 4....that was a pipe dream thinking the next day they could "have all of the greens heads on spikes" Then again after what happened, maybe they should have let him try....
  2. OMG YES! thank you! I try not to think of him 🤣
  3. RIP Luke and Arrax Something tells me this is going to be the topic of this episode like the whole, "who started the take out the eye fight", but CLEARLY NEITHER AEMOND NOR LUKE HAD CONTROL OF THEIR DRAGONS IN THAT MOMENT! Luke even told Arrax before they took off to "listen" and "serve" so obviously the younger dragon had a habit of not listening, and Aemond clearly can't control his Grandma after all of these years, Vheager killing Arrax in self defense? yeah right, she was just annoyed that little baby dragon tried to burn out her eyes, (it looked like Arrax was going for the eyes which was smart) Viserys was smart not to take another dragon after the black dread died Did people forget Daenerys couldn't control Drogon? Remember the what was it, 2 seasons he was "roaming free?" Did you watch GOT? there are people who ship Cersei and Jamie..... And one can't really be "team green" either considering Aegon is married to his sister and has kids with her....... I think he'll take ownership of what happened and say he did it next season, but I think deep down he won't like being the villain, (that's Cole's role LOL), while I don't like the greens, Aemond is 50 shades of gray like his uncle....he's "complicated" I think the straight up villains are Cole and Otto, I'm anxiously awaiting their deaths (someday) 2024 can't come soon enough 😞
  4. I kind of figured- I think she’s trying to still “save” Aegon so to speak so he’ll be a good king and better husband/person but it’s like-lady that ship has sailed perhaps if you hadn’t been fighting with Rheanerya when he was younger and plotted so much for their downfall your kids would not have turned out this way I can’t believe I’m saying this -but I’m not hating the religious version of Alicent but I’m sure that’ll change
  5. Congratulations Alicent-only took you 20 plus years to figure out your Daddy played you I don’t get why that one lord didn’t just send a raven? But Otto probably would have intercepted it anyway-too bad all of them got killed I don’t even know what to say about Cole this week-I have a feeling we are going to see him kill a of people- be nice to see him kill larys though 🤣 but what was the point of the fight with one of the twins????
  6. Dare I say/use the term “alternate facts” or more so “alternate perceptions “ first off - everything with Netflix is “massive” is it not? That’s why they are in debt and are cutting/canceling some shows they probably should have given some more time with second - just because Netflix threw money at it doesn’t mean it will be “good” sex/life anyone? third-technically the term is used as a noun for “disfavor” so I still by my words 😎
  7. Yeah I think they’ve set up since we’ve seen teen aegon he likes the ladies plus ….
  8. I remember hearing about the Netflix gig but I thought that got dropped just like the Star Wars gig? If that’s not being blacklisted what is 😆 plus isn’t Netflix dropping projects left and right due to budget/the fact they spend more than they bring in 🙄and they dropped the ball being A+ writers by season 7 😉became D+ by season finale.
  9. Right now all I can think of is that Lord Caswell (and they probably won't even make it out of King's landing next week) I feel we gotta give Viserys a pass here....the guy was a walking corpse....even old people today when about to die think are talking to someone else.....it was just good timing for the Greens, bad timing for Rhae/the blacks, plus Alicent is "religious" now, I truly believe she will think she is "doing right" by Viserys by following through on his "deathbed wish" Rhae should have sent Daemon back to Dragonstone, no way she should have left Viserys alone with them, but then again, had that happened, we wouldn't have a story I believe he has already said (years ago at this point now 😐) that the end of the story will be different than the garbage we got Those two deserved to get thrown under the bus....HBO wanted 10 episodes each for those final 2 seasons, those two were the ones that were like, "peace out" we want to do other stuff...which i believe now that they are blacklisted they aren't doing much of anything these days Plus I think heard HBO has altered the show runners contracts now after that mess, notice how Sapochak is already out (as the main person) LOL Well, they don't call it "Game of thrones" for nothing 😆
  10. If Mufasa came back from the dead with the way Viserys was creeping to that throne
  11. I originally thought Aegon was "Joffrey light" Joff from GOT that is....and I still stand by that, because Joff killed the people he brought into his room..... At least Alicent didn't kill the maid, you know Cersei would have 😑 It was funny seeing Otta get mad how Alicent backtracked wanting Rhea's friendship again...well...that's all out the window now that Alicent thinks Viserys wants Aegon as the "prince who was promised" As for what happened there....i thought that was a good plot point....it wouldn't be the first time in history someone has believed/misinterpreted something than what was originally intended (especially when it comes to religion) That's my Matt Daemon for killing Vaemond defending Rhea! and did you see the impressed look from Aemond 🙃 I did like the exchanges those two gave each other, i sense some showdowns brewing Man those scenes with Viserys were hard....the show should win emmy's for the special effects for those scenes alone I'm predicting the three dragon eggs Daemon found are Drogon/Vicerion/Rhegal....(the one looks very much like Vicerion's egg just saying)
  12. Okay....good thing this show is a work of fiction because I cannot believe I'm defending what is illegal in this day and age but....he already crossed the line and took advantage the minute he took her hat off in that brothel, he wanted people to see that so she would be "runined" But...if he had done the deed so to speak, as wrong as it would have been....if Rhea had married him and had his children, she wouldn't be the position she is now, her claim would be pretty strong and no one would be calling those kids bastards....and no way Otto would be back as Hand What was terrible was how Cole turned on her after she turned him down....for someone he "supposedly" loved....you don't do that to someone you love, even Daemon did the right thing in the end....that shows more love than what Cole has ever done. Daemon gets pleasure out of everyone's misery I think....but as of yet, we have not seen him stoop so low as to do the things Cole has done to kids As for the whole....don't want to have your kids be bastards, don't have bastards....well....she's got to produce heirs....like others have said, funny how her father's kids all came out with the white hair but not hers, AND, the men can have 100 bastards and no one blinks an eye Jamie Lannister had something called character growth, Cole/Alicent are declining as the episodes go on (and we are only in season 1)!
  13. Let's get real here, the reason he didn't do it was because the "king" forbade it and he's at least smart enough to know not to go against the king....and if you noticed when Alicent grabbed the knife, Cole was quick to pounce like the whipping boy he is but Daemon was the one who held him back you just said "planning" and "essentially" 😉 Cole, Alicent, and Otto HAVE done the things they are accused of.... What has Cole done? let's see....asked someone to give up everything her Father risked the realm for to run off with her, and when she refused, he turns on her and beats someone to death at a party because he didn't like what the guy said to him....he eggs on little kids to fight each other...gets pleasure out of seeing Rhea's kids outed as bastards....was quick to step up to the plate to TAKE OUT A KIDS EYE without hesitation..... yeah, he's a real peach....not toxic at all Sure, Daemon has done some pretty despicable things too, but when it comes to who's worse...for me it's pretty clear which "team" is worse here.....
  14. worse than Sir Cole? worse than Alicent? Worse than Otto Hightower? I don't think so.... I'm team Matt Daemon any day over those duds and those psycho kids Speaking of Cole and Alicent, back at "court" they have to be whispering about those two...its pretty apparent he's in deep with her...they made a point of showing us that look the lord commander gave him.... I know it will take a while, but I cannot wait to see that man's downfall
  15. Yes, i know CGI budget and all, but I wish they would do more shots like this.... we can't see shots like this in King's landing because they are in the dragon pit.... Speaking of dragon pit, where is Aemond planning to keep his dragon? not the dragon pit... Definitely and... Yes....I think what made that scene confusing was the cutting from Rhea (like this shortcut) and Daemon plotting and the scene playing out I'm a little surprised Rhea and Matt Deamon are already married, but alas here we are....I felt bad for the kids, the girls just lost their mother, their father is distant, and the boys lost-two fathers i guess you could say 🤷🏽‍♀️ At this rate next week Rhae/Dae will have 3 kids, at least Alicent cannot say they are bastards right 😉 For sure....why do I get the sense we are going to see a scene of the daughter torturing humans with those insects/spiders? At this rate I'm hoping its by Matt Daemon via Caraxes 😁
  16. ^THIS! but i felt this way about him at the end of the last episode after he murdered Joffrey without punishment, and then what he did with the baiting? Talk about a character who fell from grace. Well, they say the gods flip those coins..... LOL, well, I'll give Aegon this....he didn't seem to care about being King, and he showed affection for Rhaenyra's kids.....unlike Cole who is a grown ass man still acting like a hurt baby HOWEVER, I'm sure as we've seen with Alicent, that the teenage version of a character will not be the same version we see as an adult, so I'm sure Aegon will turn into a villain to add to our long list of villains on this show Anyone know who that dragon was we saw in the dragon pit that scared Aemond? Shame on the Targeryns (the dynasty-not this family) for building that pit and keeping those magnificent creatures chained up in a dungeon, no wonder they all shrunk in size I can't believe none of you could see what us Matt Daemon fans saw 😉
  17. Interesting theory, I wouldn't be surprised if that was part of his plan I think he just said she was hideous to explain why he wouldn't "perform his duty" I know there's been a lot of talk about him not being able to perform, but I think the show is just focusing on his "inner demons" Clearly- Now Ser Cristin....where to begin....there's a reason this guy is reminding me too much of Jon Snow and with that "confession" along with killing Joffrey I lost all respect for him...I think he should be punished but it doesn't look like that will be happening I mean I get why he's hurt/angry, but Viserys is risking a lot by standing by this decision to make Rheanyra heir and to ask her to throw it all away and to run off with him is short sighted
  18. Exactly-I guess one can could call Jon Snow a feminist in a Westeros world--but he declined as the seasons went on, hopefully that doesn't happen with this character As for the Uncle/Niece brothel scene....for some reason this didn't disgust me as much as the twincest did.....perhaps it's the GOT effect? a conditioned response to incest 🤨 Or maybe its what others have said, the two actors have pretty intense chemistry. But the best part of the episode-Otto fired!!!!!!!
  19. Well keep in mind I'm pretty sure we are lead to believe Viserys rode Balerion when he was a teenager or in his early 20's so this would have been before he was King....I don't know if he would have been able to just "get" another Dragon so easily since he wasn't first in line for one.... Also, they mentioned in that intro that during the "height" of the Targeryen Dynasty they had only 10 adult dragons....and in that GOT conquest and rebellion DVD that came out with season 7, it was mentioned that when the Targaryens left Valyria for Dragonstone and took their dragons with them, i think we are to assume there was only maybe at the most 20 dragons that survived the doom and Balerion was the only one to make it to Jaherys reign I would say the only clunky thing the writers have done is the aging of the characters....making Leanor an adult when he looked about 13 in the first episode and Rhanerya being 17 when she was 15 three years ago, and making Leana look 10 when she was supposed to be 12 But the writing and acting is top notch for sure.... as for if the show gets better
  20. I forgot to respond to this before-loving the "Matt Daemon" reference btw 😆 As for Otto, I think his problem is that he underestimates everyone-except maybe Viseyrs.....he underestimated Rhaenrya this episode, thought he could boss her around in his subtle way by choosing the next kingsguard He really underestimates Matt Daemon-I think he thought the gold cloaks would reject Daemon, he pretty much tried to shame them during the confrontation at Dragonstone-speaking of that confrontation, when I re-watched the episode tonight with the hubs, he is very much a casual watcher, he watched all 8 seasons of GOT during COVID lockdown-the minute he saw Otto and crew he said, "seriously, does he not know this guy has a dragon and they want to square off on a bridge?" 😆 I told him what i said above, that i really think he is so full of himself he thinks he can manipulate his way out of any situation!
  21. 1. the music is different, certain elements remain the same, but what they are doing is no different than Star Wars, the "theme" is the same, but the music is different 2. why change the sets when they are at the same place? (King's landing) 3 I'm assuming the majority of the budget is going to CGI (dragon's aren't cheap) plus all that CGI in the background
  22. He's been giving those smoldering side long glances in all of their interactions it seems like, yeah, I think the writing is on the wall where this is going..... As much as I love Matt Smith as an actor, I'm not loving his look in this (looks too much like a Lord of the Rings elf as others have said) but when he pulled out his sword in front of Otto and his the kingsguard and gave that "look" while his dragon came up behind him, I was like, "that's hot" 😂
  23. I so look forward to Sunday's now 😄 I think at this point the only character i LOATHE is Otto....even with GOT I had a hard time really liking anyone except Dany and Jon Snow (it took a while for me to get annoyed with him)....I didn't even like Tyrion until episode 6 when he had his "confession" that scene alone made a fan, but Otto just reeks of Tywin mixed with Littlefinger into one, its pretty apparent he sees Rheanyra as a threat, but I'm team Daemon, its so obvious to everyone but King Viserys that Otto is no good- At least Corlys is "family" and Viserys is an idiot for dismissing what is happening in that stepstone region, but like Daemon said, he's not a good king... That whole scene made no sense to me....did he not think Daemon would "dracarys" Caraxes on them???? I even laughed when Rhaneyra showed up, they all looked like they had never seen a dragon before-this is HOUSE OF THE DRAGON I did really like that-not only does Caraxes look really different from the GOT dragons, but sounds way different too....very cool scene....you could also really see how much bigger he is than Syrax from that brief wide-shot this is pure speculation but i cannot wait for
  24. The CGI was iffy, but I'm pretty sure that was his mistress from the brothel, considering all the lovely names he was calling his *wife* I don't think he would be taking her a joy ride on Caraxes and I think it was pretty obvious dude wasn't going to Runestone anytime soon, most likely going to Dragonstone I don't think anyone can fairly say this after 1 episode compared to what, 75 episodes of GOT? Yet wasn't there a revolt from the fandom considering how the show declined after what? Season 4 😉 As for the budget, I'm hearing 10-12 million per episode? Surprising given how I was little underwhelmed by the opening CGI with Syrax....but it was still better than Dany riding Drogon for the first time (that was still worse CGI) I really enjoyed it, granted there's not as many characters but i think people forget a lot of the GOT characters came into play later on, I personally don't like how a lot of the names are too similar sounding and 80% of the characters being Targaryen's don't help because they all have the long blonde hair, but I always felt the GRRM world and its characters were episodes that required repeated viewings and not a series you watch once if you truly want to grasp/understand the material/plot if you are not a book reader (I myself only read book 1 so far) And they are saying 10 million viewers on night 1? I'd say for all the people who were going to boycott, they are secretly hate watching 😄
  25. 😄 This show lost me at the end of episode 7, when host William went full on William I was so disappointed, because I was really liking the season up until that point, but I too was like, "seriously, this is our ending?" I was hoping for some closure with the hosts, either they all go to transcend or go to the sublime, was hoping for a delores/teddy reunion in the sublime myself and did they actually explain what the "transcendence" was for the hosts? if this show gets renewed for a 5th season i'll be a little perturbed considering they gave the ax to Raised by Wolves which had real potential for its 3rd season, this show just keeps getting more boring and more confusing My ranks for the seasons go 1, 3, 2 then 4....season 2 was just too dragged out and I liked season 3 for the change though I missed seeing the original hosts.....
