Yeah said the same thing. So oddNot sure if it was just me but Daemon's voice seemed weird all episode. It was all high pitched and nasally.
My apologies for that.No book comments - read the spoiler rules.
Warnings and thread bans will handed out from now on.
Thanks - I didn't give you any points as I'm sure others have been forgetting the rules.My apologies for that.
Yep. The oldest went to the Starks and the Aryns who are up north. Though I think there's an even younger "Valaryon" kid.That was the younger son right?
I dont think they did. It makes some sense that dragons would have proper equipment at this point when the whole ruling family has them.Anyone remember if the dragons in GoT had the saddles and harnesses?
The writers apparently said they approached the birth scenes like battles because childbirth was for women what war was for men so they made it bloody and painful. It is pushing it though. They've replaced grisly rape scenes with dying pregnant women and miscarried babies.They love a grisly, tragic birth in this.
Hoping to see the Starks, the honourable fools, next season.
Reminded me somewhat of a particular scene in Prometheus.Can we take a minute to talk about rhaenerya literally pulling her dead baby out and dropping it on the floor like a sack of potatoes? Because feck me.
She beasted that corpse out of her, I’m looking forward to someone creating a 64 bit version of her ripping the dead baby out as a react emoji.Can we take a minute to talk about rhaenerya literally pulling her dead baby out and dropping it on the floor like a sack of potatoes? Because feck me.
From a purely Machiavellian perspective he doesn’t seem like he would make a good medieval era leader, not assertive enough.Lucerys reminded me of Robin Arryn. Good riddance I say.

GOT does seem to push the idea that being a massive bastard is a plus. That said, pretty much every king in GOT and HOTD is bad.From a purely Machiavellian perspective he doesn’t seem like he would make a good medieval era leader, not assertive enough.
That's like saying every politician is a liar.GOT does seem to push the idea that being a massive bastard is a plus. That said, pretty much every king in GOT and HOTD is bad.
Would probably be a bit of a Sinbad type of vibe; I think Corlys went on like 9 voyages to totally unknown places across the world.Tweet

The LEDs had long since stopped working by Stannis' time, and no one could figure out how to replace themAlso, how did Stannis not know he could light up the map at Dragonstone
But the dragon certainly didn't forget about him.The Strong kid kinda forgot about the big dragon
True, but remember that the chart goes by the books, so up until A Dance with Dragons. He had a bit more time to grow bigger by the end of the TV series. It's hard to make comparisons, but they definitely made the bigger (older) dragons truly and spectacularly massive here. I also like that they all look rather different, brings more personality to them almost automatically.And that dragon chart shows that Drogon was one of the smaller ones? insane.
I for one am glad they made the Valryons black. If they were white like the Targaryans, it would be so hard to track who is who, especially since some of them were recast 3 or 4 times during the time jumps. Its much easier to tell them apart this way. And the actors portraying the characters, especially the Seasnake, have been great.The last two episodes were surprisingly good, the rest were a bit shit.
Few gripes:
• Harley-Davidson handles on the dragons, ffs come on now. Try a bit at least.
• the Milli Vanilli family with the blonde dreads. Can't get over their goofy looks.
• the CGI of the dragons is almost as bas the Crash Bandicoot bats in Stranger Things. Not impressing or intimidating at all.
• the eyepatch guy, looks like a cheap Matrix baddie gone wrong. Laughably cheesy.
I wish they step up their character writing game and use more resources to make the dragons and props look less like plastic miniatures. Despite all the shortcomings I'm hungry for more.
I think it also helped in really ramming home the point that there was no doubt in anyones minds that Luke and Jace were not Laenors kids. And that it would have annoyed them all the more because it was so obvious, yet they couldn't say anything because Viserys demanded it.I for one am glad they made the Valryons black.

Jon snow is a Targaryen and his hair is black.I think it also helped in really ramming home the point that there was no doubt in anyones minds that Luke and Jace were not Laenors kids.

Aside from softies like Viserys or Tommen inheriting it, I guess you're right.That's like saying every politician is a liar.
You can't reach that level without being a badass in one way or the other.
Whoever won the Queen contest would have gallons of blood on her hands
I think thats because his mother was a Stark while Rhaenyras kids had two parents with white hair and 4 grandparents with white hair.Job snow is a Targaryen and his hair is black.
Hes a half Targaryen. His hair is the same colour of his mother, Lyanna Stark. It would seem that only "pure blood" Valyrians have the silver hair.Job snow is a Targaryen and his hair is black.
They showed a tiny white haired child in the kid fighting pit that was supposed to be Aegon's bastard, so that may not be correct.Hes a half Targaryen. His hair is the same colour of his mother, Lyanna Stark. It would seem that only "pure blood" Valyrians have the silver hair.
Ah, youre right. I forgot about that kid.They showed a tiny white haired child in the kid fighting pit that was supposed to be Aegon's bastard, so that may not be correct.

But I do agree that the connection between second name and hair colour in this show is weird. It's like every family draws from just one gene pool rather than intermarrying for centuries which is what's actually happened.
Rhaenys Valeryron's mother is a Baratheon and she originally has black hair. Her hair is actually grey and not blonde. Her children all had blonde hair so the whole theory that only pure blood Targaryen isn't necessarily true. She is half Targaryen though so maybe that made the difference. If one really wants to argue they could have said Rhaenyra's kids inherited their grandmother's dark hair from the Baratheon lineage. We all know this isn't so but I'm also curious(I have a theory) as to why the kid in the pits has blonde hair.Hes a half Targaryen. His hair is the same colour of his mother, Lyanna Stark. It would seem that only "pure blood" Valyrians have the silver hair.
Exactly but there's another reason that explains this but I really can't say it here. I'm not sure how it'll be explained in the show.They showed a tiny white haired child in the kid fighting pit that was supposed to be Aegon's bastard, so that may not be correct.
Which is why it made no sense to me why Viserys' kids with Alicent all had silver hair...Hes a half Targaryen. His hair is the same colour of his mother, Lyanna Stark. It would seem that only "pure blood" Valyrians have the silver hair.
Yeah, I forgot about that kid. And then @3KDré pointed out above all Viserys kids with Alicent had the silver hair. So Im putting my foot down right now. I was wrong, and I wont hear another word said to convince me otherwise.Rhaenys Valeryron's mother is a Baratheon and she originally has black hair. Her hair is actually grey and not blonde.

So two Valyrians = silver hair. One Valyrian + random = whatever the plot needs to happen, I guess.
Guessing we will find out next season. The last ep was really focused on all things rhaenyra given the previous one was alicent.Did we find out what happened to the baldish kingsguard captain who threw down his cloak when the greens said they were going to crown Aegon? I thought he'd end up at Dragonstone in Episode 10 but apparently not.
Oh thats fair. I do also agree about the dragons looking different, with different sizes and the way they look. It adds to it instantly.True, but remember that the chart goes by the books, so up until A Dance with Dragons. He had a bit more time to grow bigger by the end of the TV series. It's hard to make comparisons, but they definitely made the bigger (older) dragons truly and spectacularly massive here.
