Yeah I did enjoy individual scenes like with Fury and his wife or Talos. Still bummed about Talos, he was great. 

Yeah. It almost felt like they cut a scene establishing that she was weary of life or had something to prove? 

I like that people are doing planned out horror trilogies released relatively quickly for some reason lately. 

I still can’t get over how they spent like $250 million on Secret Invasion and I guess none of that went to hiring a competent writer? That show was shockingly terrible.

“I think everyone wants to go out on a strong note, and I think there’s nothing worse—and I’ve been involved in a show that did this, it was fucking horrible—you do that last season and it’s shit. And you get remembered very poorly and you have to kind of wear that,” Starr continued.

It’s entirely possible I’m just out of touch, but Plaza is the only name I recognize from that all-star cast. 

I really felt for Maelys. Rhaenys is like “once more into battle, old friend!” and she’s probably thinking like “oh, ok I haven’t roasted humans in ages.” Then when she got there and was commanded to fight Sunfyre she must have been like “wtf is this shit!?”

Makes me hope they actually do show the Cannibal at some point when they finally get to the feral dragons, since he’s supposed to be at least as big.

I think it’s the bond. His previous rider wasn’t violent and claimed him as like an eleven year old girl. Vhagar seemed fine when Laena rode him, friends with Caraxes and hesitant to roast her rider on command.

There was an Elmo, and a Ser Kermit. It seems like they’ve (wisely) skipped over Elmo by having him die off screen years ago and moved on to his son Oscar as next in line to rule the Riverlands. 

That’s still true though. Doesn’t mean you have to kill everyone. That was (one of) the mistake The Walking Dead made.

Yeah, could be. I don’t remember anything being mentioned in Fire and Blood but the show is free to make up it’s own history*.

In the books at least it’s not the case that the dragons were very much active overseas. Aegon I does some stuff before the conquest, but after securing Westeros they don’t get involved in the wars of the Free Cities.

To my knowledge only Caraxes and Seasmoke fought in the stepstones. 

The deviations from the source material are so much better on this show than on Game of Thrones, where they were almost always bad.

I dunno, I’d argue that even before the Targaryens most Westerosi were conquered and forced into a governmental structure they didn’t want. It was just that you were oppressed by one of seven or eight more local kings. All the Targaryens did was put a high king ahead of all of them and thus greatly reduce the number…

yeah maybe she fought overseas like Daemon.

Right I’m just saying it seems like Rhaenys then wouldn't be old enough to have fought in a war.

One thing I don’t get is when Rhaenys and Maelys had waged war together if Rhaenyra inherited eighty years of peace. She didn't seem like she was meant to be 90+...

I can’t believe that dumb “syfy” branding has lasted all these years.
