Yep. I'll keep watching. The world sure feels smaller, though. Hopefully they introduce more characters/chaos soon.

We’ve already been to dragonstone, harrenhall and king’s landing, with much talk of the free cities and mention of the far north, as well as a glimpse of the crab feeders, I believe in one of the free cities.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I have enjoyed it, but it has been different than what I had expected. That may have been foolish on my part. I want more battles and dragons. I was actually worried when it started that they may overdo it with the dragons. I've comforted myself knowing that most of the good drama in GoT came at the tail end of each season.

I think crap will get crazy once they age everyone 10-20 years. That should happen any episode.

I have enjoyed it a lot so far. I like the flow that they have had and how they are handling stuff.

It’s been great. Only real standout character so far has been Daemon tho. Alicent’s walk in w the green dress was phenomenal, but they could have alluded to green being the war colors and not just said it.

The actors portraying Alicent and Rhaenera (sp?). Sad to se them go.

Ser Cristen’s heel turn is already great and will get better IMO. I think he and Alicent will be dastardly.

Ser break bones, his lumpy bro and their dad are also going to be something.

The new episode w/ new main actors and a ten-year time leap didn't sit well as a viewer.

As a female viewer, I'm pissed that all the women look older but the men look the same.

Yes, and does every episode need graphic painful births?

Very disappointing development. I liked him.

The first one really got to me. The latter two I handled better. Each one was less worse than the previous.

Aegon sucks, too. Like, I might dislike him more than Daemon by the end of this whole thing.

I cannot remember if I feel this way with each preview for the next week, but next week's episode looks particularly spicy.

Are you telling me you wouldn't jerk the gerkin in the window if you had that kind of view? Because I don't believe you, if so.

That's not even what I find most repulsive about him.

Holy buckets the last episode brought the goods. First one that felt like a real GoT. They could have just started here tbh

They didn’t have to kill all the townie peasants w the dragon scene. Unnecessary iyam.

It’s been good (enough) not great. Too many of the characters don’t have enough “character.”

Why didn’t she just have her dragon flame all the nobles and king and such? Does that mean she is on their side?
