Things I liked
- New intro still rules. I may have to re-watch it, afaict it didn’t change from a week ago.
- Laughin’ out loud at Daemon smirking in his own corner while the Black Council was trying to figure out Blood & Cheese.
- The scene between Daemon and Rhaenyra was incredible.
- Seasmoke Sighting!
- Daeron Mentioned!
- The brother’s duel
Weird Things / Random Thoughts
- The cut at Rhaenyra with Viserys/Aegon was odd… I thought that was a flashback of Aegon with Jaehaerys/Jaehaera.
- The Seasmoke scene… for a second there I thought that was John Macmillan (Laenor’s actor)
- Tom Glynn-Carney is the early MVP and IMHO most improved actor of this season. I really hope they update all imagery of HotD to feature him vs Rhaenyra for S3 and beyond.
- Phia Saban (Helaena) is a masterclass at saying so much without words (or as few of them as possible).
- Shoutout to the twins, once the Cargyll duel started - I was on the edge of my seat - and unable to tell them apart.
I loved Otto in this episode.
Slowly realizing that VizzyT was great.
Also Peak Otto:
“Daughter, as long as we are together we can work through any issue”
“I have sinned, dad”
“OMG y’all are the worst - that does it - leavin’ right now for Oldtown to hang with Daeron”
