Things I liked

  • Intro updated! Meleys and Sunfyre are on the tapestry.
  • The Lannister's army bringing a live lion is such a vibe.
  • Aemond saying, "No, you idiot, I'm talking about Grandpa," was hilarious.
  • I love the idea of Larys leaning into the new shared disability aspect between him and Aegon II. Clever.
  • Gwayne being a proud uncle is a nice setup for introducing "The Daring" in Season 3.

Things / Random Thoughts

  • I honestly thought that was Casterly Rock... turns out it’s just the Golden Tooth. 🫤
  • Princes Aegon (the Younger) and Viserys seem way younger than in Fire & Blood. How is the Gullet going to work?
  • Did Aegon's drinking buddies get ripped apart by the mob?
  • Can someone remind me if Rhaenyra is canonically bisexual in Fire & Blood?
  • "Here's a description of sexual assault." Great, let's follow that with a makeout session...
  • Seasmoke: "You look like that kid I used to know—you're my rider now, deal with it."
  • Are they merging Nettles with Rhaena?
  • Also, Sheepstealer heard that the sheep are prettier than the women at the Vale. 😉
  • Steffon Darklyn totally could've claimed Seasmoke if he didn’t get cocky. As soon as he thought, "I DID IT," Seasmoke was like, "What are you doing, buddy?"
  • I think Simon Strong knows more than he’s letting on. The way he described Alys trying her "healing powers" on Grover Tully was suspicious.
  • Men will literally commit war crimes and sleep with their niece before giving their big bro a hug.

spoilerI'm starting to think Rhaena is going to go rogue (like Dad) and "capture" Sheepstealer to prove her worth, leaving Aegon and Viserys vulnerable in the Gullet. I wonder if this will lead to the events with Joffrey and Viserys, which will start Aegon's dragon-related trauma and make Rhaenyra furious at Rhaena (after she trusted her children to her).

How could you not mention Rhanaerya and Mysaria??

Also - agree about the lion…I lol’d!

Not a direct mention😉

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

That seemed like poor taste to me. Like why can’t a hug just be a hug?

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Ahhhh somehow totally missed that! Thanks for clarification :)

Simon strong definitely had a smirk on when he mentioned Alys. I get the impression he doesn't see Alys as we and Daemon see Alys. As if he sees through her glimmer.

[–] dornad@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Up until when he mentioned her, I was believing Alys was a ghost or manifestation of Harrenhal that only Daemon could interact with.

I still don’t think she has interacted with anyone else.

Alys the black goat that Daemon speak with was my head canon

[–] dornad@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Ohhh that’s a good theory!

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 1 points 3 months ago

Simon has looked at her as she passed him. That's it.
