Hey, just for the record, Joffrey spoiled the ending of House of the Dragon loooooong before I did!
In other words, if you've watched Game of Thrones, you should know how this prequel is going to end without needing to read the books.

Very tense build up during the dance.
Oh something epic is gonna happen!
Oh. Damp squib

I can agree, though I think Alicent is my favorite character right now. Her father gave her that intense (and probably very accurate) prophecy. At some point Rhenera's reign will be threatened, her son will be used for leverage, and Rhenera will be incentived to "deal" with her son. So will she strike first?
The dance was solid, though I wasn't too surprised. Classic GoT blunder, guy figured out some secret intel (Christian was with Rhenera), got cocky, and instead of holding onto that very vital piece, he immediately spills the bean to the guy to try and work some leverage. And..... got got.
I really liked Alicent's actress, its going to be hard to adjust to the timeskip. Meanwhile Rhenera I can take or leave, though its very strange to me that they have made her the posture child for the show (literally she's the main thing on the poster) but is getting replaced mid season.

I would agree but I still just can't get over her moralizing in a room full of tapestries graphically depicting orgies. Like, it's OK to have those on your walls - even in the room where you nurse your kids - but it's not OK to visit a place where the depicted activities actually take place? It just does not compute for me.
Also, she really ought to be more upset with her father, since he's the one who put her in such a terrible position in the first place.

The fist fight at the end. Did the knight just jump into the crowd after the conversation

Yes, it would appear Ser Criston's feelings of guilt and shame got the better of him and he used the cover of the dancing crowd to assault Ser Joffrey.
Apparently in the book Ser Criston
kills Ser Joffrey in the wedding tourney while jousting and it's left open as to whether it was deliberate or an accident. (Same with Daemon's killing of his wife, Lady Rhea.) I was reading a review from someone who was saying they preferred the book's more ambiguous takes on these events over the show's methods. I have to agree.

You're the one noticing all this porn in the background I haven't seen any of it.
Romans had some interesting art as well but still preached morality.
In the show what women can get away with vs the men are two different things.

It's pretty bloody obvious! I'm surprised you haven't noticed it yet.
The Targaryens’ Home Decor in House of the Dragon is Extremely NSFW
House of the Dragon’s royal family are clearly very… comfortable with their sexuality.
