    It was an odd episode. I was enjoying it much as I’d enjoyed all season but it needed an event, a climax.

    I think the shot of Aemond atop Vhagar outside of Shark Point was a complete underselling of what he had done. In the moment I wasn’t sure if that was what he had done, or one of the new dragon riders. Was it somewhere important? I didn’t know until Jace told Ulf. Should have been a sequence, and I’d have replaced last week’s joyride if money was the issue.

    Seems like they felt the sowing last week was their “Episode 9” moment, and this was the “positioning for next season” episode, but with only 8 episodes I don’t think it worked. At least let Rhena…

    plot twist

    …get immolated by Sheepstealer, with Nettles saying “Hands-off my dragon - Dracarys!”.
