Things I liked
- The new intro - IMHO it is much better than 3D Valyria model, but not as good as OG Planetos’ map.
- Seeing the north, Winterfell and the Wall again
- Cregan Stark was better than I expected.
- Meeting new characters, a lot of time spent with this Alyn fella in the docks with Corlyn 😉
- Rhaenyra and Jacaerys mourning scene was the standout scene for me.
- Looks like they’re using humor to humanize Aegon II.
- Seeing everyone over at r/asoiaf loose their mind over Blood and Cheese ROFL
Things that puzzled me.
- Torren knelled at the wall ?
- Cole x Alicent - IMHO it came out of nowhere.
- The pacing of Blood & Cheese and the fact that the final minutes of the episode was split into 3 scenes: Blood & Cheese, Helaena’s random walking and finally her entering Alicent’s chamber.
Random Thoughts
- So… is Maelor chillin’ with Daeron (The Daring) over at Oldtown ?
- Change the intro as much as you like, every season if you will. As long as OG GoT theme song plays, it will never be skipped.
- I love that they are still leaving us with the idea that, just like F&B, some events are still not completely understood/shown. We never see Daemon give the explicit order to target <redacted/> - same as we never see Daemon explicitly say “Heir for a Day” back in S1.
- I really think that Rhaenyra will be furious at Daemon - not only because he single-handedly plunged everyone further into a MAD scenario, but Rhaenyra’s side (probably) just lost the moral high ground.
