want her to secrete herself away somewhere

“Also, wood is famously flammable, so why in seven hells didn’t Baela just blast some dragon fire after them?”

Eh, it’s not a rule that’s been established on the TV side of things, as far as I recall. Though it does come up later in the story, it doesn’t have to. there are other ways to handle that uh.... event I won’t get into cause it’s a huge spoiler.

Rhaenyra and someone else had a conversation about Seasmoke seeming restless. 

Remember Damphair? Who had damp hair?

This fantasy novel is much too silly!

Disqus had HBO Janitor of Cock, Kinja has HBO Janitor of Hot Dog. The fellatio in the brothel was the fakest-looking dick ever.

Has there been (simulated) fellatio on an erect penis (very erect) on prestige TV before? I cannot remember anything so graphic.

I love it every time we get to see the HOTD King’s Landing, with the budget to actually show it as a thriving, crowded place full of people. It’s pretty cool.

Oh god I genuinely blotted that one out of my mind. I mean, sweet Jesus. 

Aegon may be a shit king, but he does seem like he’d be pretty fun to party with. I’ll give him that

Decades of mature television (including HBO) have managed to find ways to depict fellatio without actually showing it. This week, we got literal pornographic imagery. We’ve come along way... 

This is the man who gave us Grover, Elmo, Oscar, and Kermit Tully. 

I’m most excited to see if the show is going to stick to the book’s conceit that all the Tullys of this era have the names of Muppets. Lord Grover’s been mentioned several times, but his grandson Elmo and great-grandsons Kermit and Oscar may be pushing things on a TV show in a way that the book could just barely get…

which I read as the reason for Aegon’s later humiliation of Aemond.

I think he just made up that rumor to get himself a job on the council / make himself seem useful to the king.

Can I just say that’s the weirdest Arthurian reference I’ve ever seen in a serious piece of work?

the Brackens and Blackfoots were so easily goaded into annihilating one another, weren’t they?

Man if there’s one thing you can say for JK Rowling it’s that she doesn’t rest on her laurels. Nope, she’s out there showing her whole ass all day every day.

How did everybody not see this coming?
