In fairness they balance out those dim visuals with low mumbling audio, so you can't see or hear shit. Can we talk about how shit security is? In 20 minutes, the inner chambers of both royal houses were infiltrated with next to zero effort. I did like how the former gold cloak gave up Daemon with zero torture applied. Such loyalty!
June 24, 20241 yr 31 minutes ago, Rex Kramer said: Yes. They were given no other instruction if he couldn’t be found. Daemon probably wouldn’t have been in favor of that, but he put forth 2 buffoons, so it’s on him. It was strongly implied that Daemon gave them instructions to get a son-for-a-son no matter what.
June 24, 20241 yr IIRC they cut away when Daemon was giving the instructions, and one of the goons asked something about if they didn’t find Aemond. Something like that, anyway. Last night others implied to Daemon that they figured he didn’t care or said take the next heir. Which of course he adamantly denied when talking with Rhy before he stormed off.
June 24, 20241 yr Do they have to keep killing off the cool characters that look like they would be good to see in battle (off a dragon). My only complaint about HoD series is that is lacks the likeable charcaters / warriors. Or even unlikeable ones. Everyone is so young. Aemond is all bones. Missing a Jorah, Hound, Mountain, Drago, Oberyn, any Stark, Grey Worm, Bronn. Daemon just isn't it.
June 24, 20241 yr 54 minutes ago, Rex Kramer said: By Daemon? I don’t recall that. He specifically mentioned Aemond. He may have used son for a son language, but that doesn’t mean go off script if you can’t find who I mentioned and kill a toddler. He himself is way too smart for that. Regardless, again, it’s on him. His incompetence led him to choose two incompetents. Daemon was pretty vague on purpose to those goons regarding a back up plan. Big goon told rat catcher "you remember what he said...son for a son". Which implies is was said offscreen by Daemon. By being vague he knew what the consequences could have been as in they may go off script....but it lets him deny responsibility. He probably never thought that a small child would end up being an option though.

Those characters were fleshed out over thousands of pages by George in the novels. Fire And Blood is a history book. lol@fuckin grey worm tho. Edited June 24, 20241 yr by Dark Horse

Still a shitty way to end both of them. Wish they ended up teaming up and fucking over the Greens. Stupid Cole and his orders.

Those characters were fleshed out over thousands of pages by George in the novels. Fire And Blood is a history book. I think this is an important point to remember when people complain about inconsistencies between the book and the show, for example the level of brutality of Blood & Cheese. The brutality described in the book is coming from a history text written by a single maester, entirely based on secondhand information provided by the Hightowers and almost certainly greatly exaggerated in order to portray Rhaenyra in the most negative light possible. Basically, the book is an unreliable narrative and the show is trying to portray how things really went down. At least that's my interpretation.
June 25, 20241 yr They brushed that up a tick to make it worse, right? If not, damn son, eat a couple doughnuts once in a while.
June 25, 20241 yr Ewan Mitchell is a twink but he ain’t that emaciated. Definitely lighting and effects Edited June 25, 20241 yr by Js1

June 25, 20241 yr Hard to take Aegon seriously because he looks like a high school sophomore at oldest. Joffey was a literal boy-king with a temper but is Aegon supposed to be a full grown adult or what

Joffey was a literal boy-king with a temper but is Aegon supposed to be a full grown adult or what I’m guessing his character is somewhere around 19-22. I think Aegon is a lot like Joffrey in many ways, but not in that psychopath cruelty way. Now Aemond is as bad, or worse, in the underlying, don’t give a shit, violent psychopath way.

June 26, 20241 yr "there's too many dragons in this show!!" Yeah I doubt there will be any exciting action in this series. Just a bunch of pissed off royals with dragons who sit around and talk.
June 26, 20241 yr wait a minute how is it that viserys has platinum hair like all targareons do but his beard is salt and pepper

July 1, 20241 yr Although this show's first season may have started slowly, it just keeps getting better and better. This build-up to all-out war is really good.
July 1, 20241 yr I feel like the 1st season covered far more ground. This season is like watching soccer for me; it’s a big deal when someone crosses midfield. Fucking get on with it.
July 1, 20241 yr Was that the first visible BJ on cable TV? Even if it was a stunt dick, I’m here for europeanization of our TV morals.
July 1, 20241 yr Really enjoyed that episode, the previews for next week look awesome. Finally full out battle time.
July 1, 20241 yr Another bad ass episode. Lots of dialogue and intrigue. You can see Aemonds psychoticness. And he’s scary skinny I mean hit golds gym fella i have a feeling aegon dies soon. Not a bookreader
July 1, 20241 yr Alicent fucking sucks. I hope Rhaenyra burns it all to the ground now. Team black all the way. Also Rhaenyra putting all her literal eggs in one basket like that can’t end well.

July 1, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, closetohumping said: Yes. Much better. regarding Damon Hide contents What’s with him referring to himself as the king? He's married to the queen and he's long fancied himself as the rightful heir to his brother anyway. Remember in his latest argument with RT that he referred to "our reign" or something to that effect and she had to correct him.
July 1, 20241 yr After pioneering the inclusion of gratuitous and needless female nudity in almost all of its shows, I guess HBO has decided to pivot to fully nude dudes now.
July 1, 20241 yr 20 minutes ago, Rex Kramer said: Aemond, when exiting the brothel, looked like one of the Night King’s white walker henchmen. That is a sentence I will never repeat out loud. What a fucking nerd. I that he was the bad motherfucker of the two

July 1, 20241 yr The scene with the ladies in the sept was very well done. Both queens are killing it.
