MONKMAN Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I like the little throwbacks to Game of Thrones. Aegon wanking out the same window that Tommen jumped from last week, and the Valyrian steel dagger making a more prominent appearance this week. All in all, I think it's been brilliant so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 That was the best episode yet other than the obvious plot hole of why the gay husband couldn't just jizz on his fingers then impregnate her like a prize heifer. It would have saved a huge amount of trouble. I didn't like the switcheroo at the end though, it seems like they are scared to have Rhaneyra do anything that would be unpopular. Those mop tops are fucked as soon as Matt Smith pops a son/great nephew out his niece. I can't wait to see the back of the wee b*****ds. Coryls being chill about his line getting wiped out made no sense at all but he's the ranking black character so they obviously want to keep him popular online. His wife is just about the only decent actor in it, hopefully she steps up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corlys will be assuming that by the time any of Rhaenyras children get to the Iron Throne Viserys will be long gone and he can go back on his promise of them taking the Targaryen surname. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but they're not his grandkids. GIven that Rhaenyra was 16 when he made the promise there's not much chance of him being around either. The cuckoo in the nest plot is entertaining but also completely idiotic and dependent on Westeros nobles making decisions as if they are 17 year old girls on Twitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishBhoy Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 Spoiler Video breaking down the role of Larys Strong which I found pretty interesting. There might be a couple of book spoilers mentioned so if you don’t want to hear them maybe give it a miss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I felt like Helen Keller for large chunks of last night’s episode - could they not use stronger candles or choose a night when there was a full moon so that you could actually see what was happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't shoot at night. They use daylight then make it dark in post production. Watching in a dark room usually helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite obvious from the size of the shadows in the outdoor scenes last night that it had been shot in daylight, and darkened artificially. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that we saw very cool graphics with a dragon in the last series. The flight of the dragon is amazing. Now the whole family is waiting for the release of new episodes, and we even ordered something for dragon-vibe.com since I want to surround the sb with pleasant little things like dragons. Are there those who have read the book? Was much missed to shorten the screen time? Will there be interesting plot twists shortly? Do you work on commission? 3 posts, all selling shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Thought that was another really good episode. Paddy Considine has been really good the last few weeks after thinking they didn't give him too much to do early on.

Homer Thompson Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I'm enjoying this, it looks awesome and there's some really good performances but I've come to the realisation that I don't really care. I've not found myself invested enough in any of the characters to really be bothered if they are named successor or get their head chopped off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I wonder if they are going to widen the scope in season 2? They have already set it up so you have the Vale hating Deamon, the Lannisters don't like Rhaynera and the Reach is with Allicent. So that leaves the North, the Stormlands and Dorne uncommited as to whether they will recognise the mop top b*****ds as heir. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely scope in what's been written to do that but it may depend on how they adapt it. People and set pieces could be cut for time and budget. The characters introduced so far are the vast majority of the major players in the story but there's definitely some characters from elsewhere in the seven kingdoms that haven't appeared yet that could /should play a decent role. There's some characters/events that would be really cool but depending on where they want to focus on ending the timeline they may not even show in detail or at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoying it, but I’m ready just to see utter violence. Ive struggled for the first ten minutes in the recent episodes until you see Paddy Considine looking more like skeletor and realise there’s been a time jump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When things aren't written specifically as goodies v baddies, and you aren't pushed into rooting one way or the other. I find things more enjoyable when I'm just waiting to see what it has to offer, and who is next to get wiped out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Allicent is just doing what Ned Stark but she is being framed as a villain whereas he was the hero. The show needs some gruff Northerners constantly talking about Winter. It would make it so much better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Not really, Ned was objecting to Cersei's children as they had no royal blood at all whereas Allicent is looking to usurp the named legal heir. Whether her children are b*****ds or not doesn't reflect on Rhaenyra's right to rule. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having non true born children makes her a whore by the standards of their society as as the Driftmark guy said. Trying to put a b*****d on the throne makes her an Usurper. Having the show focussed on one extended family has allowed them to make Rhaneyra seem more reasonable than she is because you never get to hear what the realm thinks. A huge war is going to start because she was horny for the big Strong son. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 The hightowers were working fo usurp even before there were b*****ds so again not really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
