By Yurtlicious Go To PostShout out to Otto, magnificent actor.Maybe I haven't seen Rhys in enough stuff. To me, he was always a guy that showed up doing comedic roles in ensembles. On this show he's a schemer that conveys his emotions really well through his face and the tone in which he speaks. And in very important moments thus far he's had a penchant to do this lean-in move that has become a character trait of Otto's. It's not like he's shuffling into frame or anything, it's his body moving in like he has a magnet that is pulling him towards whatever conflict is in front of him.
I like how this episode paints Alicent vs how she's perceived now
By s y Go To Post1 was good, 2 was great.
Everything else has been a big budget CW "lol just turn your brain off" tier show.
I'm bout to start calling you Neil DeGrasse Sy-son, I can't imagine watching anything that I think is CW level 7 episodes after I think it fell off, just to talk spicy about it. They already got you, check already cleared and I'm gonna see you here next week, expeditiously
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostI can't imagine watching anything that I think is CW level 7 episodes after I think it fell off, just to talk spicy about it.I'm built different, agreed
Otto feeling too much like a cut and copy Tywin for me.
This show is basically Wrestling at this point

like comparing a blackberry to a pixel 7 yeah i guess
otto started off goofy and now its clear they don't even know how to write smart anymore

Most characters have some sort of parallel, or even reversals from things we've seen before. Alicent has as many Cersei traits, VLarys littletoes vs Littlefinger. Jamie is the best fighter and an arrogant villain then gets maimed and humbled and goes on a redemption journey. Aemond is a bit of a loser, the butt of the jokes, then gets maimed and turns into an accomplished warrior and an arrogant bastard.
It's fine as long as they find ways to surprise you I guess. This show is gonna turn up the double crosses and triple crosses to eleven.

they had otto round up every noble on the fence about who the next ruler would be, and the idea of lying only showed up in the form of a single guy hesitantly declaring his allegiance then sending a raven to alert others of the situation laying low to feed information or even sabotage otto from within attempting to escape the castle through the front gates on horseback in broad daylight
outside of littlefemur killing characters that were just introduced, this has been kinda barren

I like how the Kings Guard dude just did a couple double takes and gave up on finding Rhaenys after being separated in the crowd. He was so determined in his resolve that Aegon should not be king. Truly dedicated to the realm.
and Rhaenys just walked to her dragon during the fucking coronation scene. Why even include the goofy escape attempt?
Do these writers even know that poison is a thing? Anything would help make Cripple Tarantino being pre-alpha little finger more believable.

Otto is even dumber than the beginning of the season. He had same day delivery spies watching Rhanaerya fuck but can't find Aegon, his prized possession?sending a raven to alert others of the situationlaying low to feed information or even sabotage otto from withinattempting to escape the castle through the front gates on horseback in broad daylight

I was cool with a lot of the table setting going on earlier in the season and all the shortcuts it required regarding development, but if this is the level where everything settled at? lol
maybe
spending the majority of the season noting how one character is remarkably indifferent to her lot in life, has greater perspective than most especially regarding open warfare, and genuinely wants nothing more than her surviving family to be happy then quickly putting it in the back pocket to give her a girl boss scene even if it means condemning those same family members to a generation of war...
nah. and im all for being entertained but once i have to fill in the gaps past a certain point i just check out. its the little stuff too not just big moments being jank
like why on earth is otto meeting up with some unknown information broker out in the open - and not even realizing how much power he let daemon's old jumpoff get right under his own nose
why is this other new guy content to let cole 1 v 1 his guy like that
why is aegon hidden under a platform in a massive, open temple in the middle of the city
by the time season 2 rolls around i may just not even care anymore

velaryons dropped like flies all season, either dead or on a ship somewhere
also more and more teamDy
Understand its a prologue and some time jumping is required in season 1, but the moments they pick seam all shock/set pieces soc media cloud. driven. The latest eps was a nice mini cosmos in to the problems the show has for me with what they choose to show/pick.
I like the show when you have scenes like the two ladies talking, convincing to join sides. But not the silly goose chase, presume to show everyone the new rapist king is also really a bad guy. Were we find out there is a kid fighting club, so important that someone is willing to give the soon to be King up, just to make it stop, so we need to spend time on it. (don't get me started about the 2nd brother not stepping up to the plate) and we need to spend a lot of time on that.
But one of the main guys (Otto) got his job back when the old hand died, which he lost because he was team green. (nothing changed in that regard) But this all happened somewhere in a time jump, would have loved to see more from that.
And then the silly set piece ending, were you dress up in full battle gear, kill a couple of hundred commoners by going through the roof of the pit. To stand there in front of team green with your Dragon to end the coup and it happens to be NoDracarusDay in the realm, pls stop
They need to start showing the world outside the, cannot see shit Dark palaces, that exists in season 2 to get me onboard again and less silly set piece stuff.

By Not Go To Postmaybe losing basically every member in her family had something to do with itrhaenys literally the scene before: "where's my daughter, I can't leave without her"
rhaenys in the next scene: *commits treason and flies away* yas queen
It would not have been out of place if Aegon to turn to Alicent and say "did that just happen?"
You would get anything as grand as A Song of Fire and Ice. If you are looking for that you just won't get it. The story is basically a historical recount of the events rather than present day like in GoT. If Daemon walking alone to battle against an army and then going into a cave and just popping out with the crab eaters head didn't give that away I don't know what to tell you. It's going be all grand set pieces.
By markao Go To PostThey need to start showing the world outside the, cannot see shit Dark palaces, that exists in season 2 to get me onboard again and less silly set piece stuff.they namechecked yi-ti already, never did that in thrones
would be cool if they follow some explorer and we get summer isles and sothoryos and shit. but I'm sure that could be one of the twelve shows they'll greenlit a pilot for and never show anyone

He didn't want help, was cool being the bait if it got the job done, would go into a cave and do dirty work without the dragon, wrapped things up quickly to get to the next chapter, etc. I can work with that.
This week? Things actually grinded to a halt to get dumber while also highlighting nobodies and people forgetting their actual stances for reasons.
By markao Go To PostThey need to start showing the world outside the, cannot see shit Dark palaces, that exists in season 2 to get me onboard again and less silly set piece stuff.I was telling my friend the other week that HotD reminds me of Dragon Age 2. Confined story with time jumps
By RATHasReturned Go To PostRemixed the "Light of the Seven" track expertly.

Ending gave me chills. Bring on a Dance of the Dragons. Dreams didn’t make us kings. Dragons did. Next season going be pure flames, literally.
aight so i mustve grabbed a poor version. anyway it was entertaining but the ending was chickenshit from the writers.
By domino Go To Postaight so i mustve grabbed a poor version. anyway it was entertaining but the ending was chickenshit from the writers.Well that event was all hearsay but the result couldn't really have ended any other way.

Man..
By Yurtlicious Go To PostSome really fucking great shotsSeriously, not a lot out there that can even be part of the conversation.
By inky Go To Postwhat did he think was gonna happen…He just kinda forgot that dragons are deadly
By inky Go To Postwhat did he think was gonna happen…Mother fucker stole a dragon and thought it could be controlled real easy. Give it a chase and the dragon will go for a kill. Aemomd dun goofed.
