House of the Dragon spoiler thread

[Stalker0]

Seems so. I think Laenor is doing a runner with his boyfriend to one of the free cities.

Just when you thought Gendry had invented rowing....

This was a very solid episode. I really like these kind of meeting episodes, lots of personalities and tensions all in one place, it creates interesting eruptions. The Alicent "explosion" was very interesting, as was the kid fight.

Got to hand it to the kid, he's like, "yep lost an eye, gained a dragon, totally worth it"....what a baller.

You can tell the king is basically done though, I mean the Queen literally grabbed his weapon against his explicit orders and tried to kill his daughter or grandson....and he did nothing. I mean you can argue whether the Queen was entitled or not, but the King had given express orders that this was done, and she publicly and violently disobeyed....with no repercussion. That is going to cost him I think....assuming he lives much longer.

I don't think he will be around much longer.


Watched S1E10 and S2E1.

Not quite peak GoT. HotD is holding up alright probably not as good as S1-4. There's no Need/Tyrion stand out so far imho king.

Enjoyed tonight's episode anyway. The plots thicken.

Probably my favourite episode so far. I liked the dragon riding scene, thought the show did a good job of making it feel both terrifying and exhilarating.

It didn’t take long (at least for me) to adjust to the aged up actors and all the new kids. I’m really looking forward to the remainder of the series.

That really was a good episode. Though the one "good" character killing off her husband set that back.....

Um, yeah, about that....

Spoiler

You realize that her husband was in on faking his death and was the bald guy in the boat at the end, right? That's why the body's face was thrown into the fire to be unrecognizable.

It wasn't clear to me that she knew that......but I guess she likely did now that you mention it.

And, it was clearly that when we couldn't see the face, let alone when they showed him....

Episode was excellent. Edge of my seat with queen vs daughter. Really good acting

We see Daemon murder someone just before the fight is staged.
Upon the reveal at the end it would imply that this was him supplying the body for the fire, and thus, he and Rhaenyra were in on the plan.

Some good tension and development. I'm not too pleased to see Laena and Laenor basically written off without much ado about the story.

Yeah especially when they pretty much erased the entire Laena- Rhaenyra relationship from the series
