sure okay posted:Typical Targ hypocrisy for Rhaenyra to first shrug her shoulders at her 12 year old cousin getting shotgun married to her dad, going "Well, he is the king after all!" And then walking out in a huff when it's actually her friend getting married instead. Boy are you in for a wild ride.

Hoping that the third Valyrian house, Celtigar gets involved soon for some more Crab Action as they are the Crab House.

In the next episode preview Viserys and Alicent's kid is like four years old. Personally, I'm excited about a time jumping structure. It avoids a lot of the problems of late GoT where characters are teleporting around the map and resolving huge wars in like a week. pospysyl fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Aug 29, 2022 |

I hope every time they do a time jump they put it in relation to Dany, so the whole show (which will probably wind up having a lot of things more important than anything Dany did) will just be a big countdown to Dany.

I don’t think they did enough to foreshadow the Alicent marriage. I mean they’ve been spending time together but this is clearly one of those major twists where it’s Love over Duty and they haven’t done nearly enough to signal the depth of the relationship between the two.

Also he was being pressured from all sides to marry right away, with Rhany endangering herself at Dragonstone being the final push. Alicent was the best option he thought he had. A more strong-willed king would have put his foot down and declared that he will marry when he chooses, and everyone would have to shut the gently caress up about it. Viserys is not that.

He's getting led around by the nose by Otto Hightower and the grand maester whose name I forgot, and he doesn't realize it. They talked him into thinking that he must marry right away and steered him to Alicent.

I know people were joking about having Bronn show up as-is with no explanation, but now it has me wondering if we actually will get some holdover characters from the original series. I could see them sticking Mellisandre in a scene somewhere, or one of the other characters that were hinted at living through multiple generations.

Yeah, there’s a ton of noble houses who would love to be married into the king’s family, but they’re trying to railroad him by making it seem like he has only 2 choices and the other is a terrible one.

This is better than I expected for sure. I was prepared to loathe it but it's firmly decent and I even like Doctor Who as the deranged inbreeding guy. Warhammer King rules. I like the dragon content more than I ever did in GoT. Prolly being too generous because I was expecting season 8.

I don't necessarily think it's the wrong thing for the Viserys to get married ASAP. If he dropped dead, there would obviously be a huge crisis. Should probably think about a few other candidates than a child and his daughter's best friend.

They're a bunch of dudes who are basically personally loyal to Daemon so if he says "come to dragonstone with me" they're gonna do that no matter if the rules say about that. And also yknow, if a bunch of goldcloaks are boarding a ship to dragonstone, the goldcloaks sure as he'll aren't going to stop them.

She's a teenager. I mean it's not hypocritical or inconsistent at all. The reasons she's upset about Alicent marrying her dad don't exist in the little girl. She's okay with one situation and upset about another, different situation.

Extremely disappointed with the lack of twist at the end of this episode. Should've said he wanted to marry his daughter, since the preceding scene just had him saying how much she reminded him of his mother, plus he didn't want to undermine her as an heir. Real goony rear end king too deep in the well to see the obvious solution to all his troubles.stev posted:Re: The opening the main issue for me is that the GoT theme doesn't suit it at all. This needed something a bit darker and more Targaryan-y. GoT's theme was well suited to the globetrotting journeys that comprise most of that story but not to a series that's going to be mostly focused on one city and a war. The visuals were a good idea but it needs tweaking. Just having nameplates on the little blood nodes to show that they represent the family tree would be a start. reignonyourparade posted:They're a bunch of dudes who are basically personally loyal to Daemon so if he says "come to dragonstone with me" they're gonna do that no matter if the rules say about that.

I honestly thought he was going to say he’s marrying his daughter. I know there was some scene in GoT where they said the Targarians inbred themselves to madness, i.e. the mad king, and he kept looking at her. So I was honestly surprised he went with Hightower. God I’m so terrible with names sorry.

There really should be like some mention about the impact of an entire city’s police force going missing. Or maybe this was the point all along. That they never needed the cops

I can't remember what Viserys' deal is but some Targs before him decided against incest because they realise it's really weird and offputting to most people and makes the church actively hate them.
