That episode just kind of ended.

Almost like The Wire where they finish with simple conversation.

yeah that was weird, the music started ramping up like something big and dramatic was about to happen, and i had no idea what. and then i was right, nothing really happened. oh wait, they realized that they needed more dragonriders ... which is something i thought they knew during s1e10 when daemon was singing to vermithor lol
(plus they kinda planted the dragonseed idea with aegon's bastards in s1e9)

and like ... rhaenyra knows that laenor is alive. and he has a big dragon. you're kind of desperate right now. figure it out

also just remembered that harold westerling is out there ... somewhere. i believe he was rhaenyra's personal kingsguard at the start of the show before becoming lord commander, he refused to kill her when ordered to by otto, she currently only has 2/7 kingsguard spots filled afaik ... figure it out.

this show has a weird habit of introducing things and then just dropping them for like 7 episodes.
e.g. otto going to highgarden (and/or oldtown)

Is it really better than GOT? Loved first few seasons of GOT then obv we know what happened. Watched first season of HOD and liked it but production was obv less and wasn't super pressed for S2. May give it a try if this is consensus.

I didn't like season 1 very much and now I very much look forward to Sunday night as well. It was a slow burn, but show is starting to hit its sweet spot with a bunch of intertwined storylines all starting to evolve.

if you're loving the show, you'll probably also enjoy these asx/glidus conversations about the episodes. informative and quite a lot fun. also tend to agree with just about all their takes about what is working and what isn't

it is a terrible show with a poorly executed hole-filled plotlines...set against the back drop of hundreds of even worse shows on tv...that don't burn people with dragons...making it great.

But doesn't it look great?

Production values are sick.

Agree with that. The Daemon - Harrenhal plotline has run its course.

the daemon stuff is 1000x more interesting than rhaenyra having pointless meetings and doing nothing but whining how her problems are everyone's fault bu hers for like 10 straight episodes, gods she sucks. anyway yeah this daemon arc seems over now that he's realized he to not be an ******* or whatever.

should be some kool battles the next 2 eps with everything converging on the riverlands

nah they aren't starving. pretty sure my man said they have enough to keep the place going, fires burning, people fed and all that, but they didn't have the coin to fix up the castle and host an army of thousands as daemon requires

Daemon's become such a bitch at Harenhall that I've become #TeamAemond now.

The only direction this is trending in is down. I've never fell asleep during any GOT episodes,
but the last episode was a snooze fest. Disappointing.

Oh what a surprise, the characters we know about became the riders.

Show is better with action.

We needed a random sword fight that episode.

So it's going to be 6 v 1 soon in dragon count, once Rhaena finds this mystery dragon in the vale?

Who's going to defect to Aemond's side in S3? Probably Daemon, plus Otto will come back.
