Thought the first ep was very good. I hope they keep the focus reasonably narrow based mainly on the two sides of the Targaryen conflict. Thrones became a beast they couldn't control a bit with the multitude of storylines which they couldn't wrap up neatly

Yeah I enjoyed that first episode.. not as gripping as the first GoT first episode but that was special .

I was surprised there were no opening credits or theme tune .. unless I was so engrossed I missed them

no spoilers but apparently the ''high septon'' actor is 87 yr old Gary Raymond whom had actually retired his career in 2017, but he was convinced by producers here to say yes to this role and make a mini-comeback of his career

basically most famous from The Rat Patrol and from playing in films alongside stars like Charlton Heston, Sophia Loren, as well as having starred in another film with Katherine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Mercedes McCambridge

and also
Quote:
Raymond worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company in the 1950s, playing roles such as Macbeth, Oberon and Claudius, and others. He made his film debut as Charles Stuart (King Charles II) in the British swashbuckling film The Moonraker (1958).

Great second episode. They are building up the intrigue and animosity nicely

The books were doing better with all the story lines I think, they were able to flesh them out better. I refuse to read anymore of GRRM books though because of him not finishing A Song of Ice & Fire series so I don't know how much of this series is based on books?

Really enjoyed the first 2 episodes, pretty gruesome though also

From Ep 2

Spoiler:

That scene with the king walking with that little Valarian girl talking about being married and her giving him Heirs was pretty vile

i thought that was pretty dodgy too Neem, but they rescued it by him later saying he was going to marry the other woman

Spoiler:

Yeah (even though she's only supposed to be 15 or something?) But she at least looks more like a woman, that other little girl looked around 8 years old (though they said she was 12)

Yeah she definitely didn't look 12. It was very very uncomfortable and I was close to giving up on the series if that went ahead. Mind you a 15 year old girl is bad enough

They really could have done without that scene, the rest of the ep was great though. Rhaenyra pulling up on Daemon at Dragonstone :omgno:

That was amazing, I think Rhaenyra is going to be the Daenerys that should have been :flutter:

That's part of the world that GRRM built, and part of our own history. You could see his shock and slight revulsion which redeemed it a bit.

Niamh. 31-08-2022 12:22 PM
Spoiler:

Still really gross though. And a lot was to do with despite them saying she was 12 she looked even younger, i thought she was around 8 years old

The Slim Reaper 31-08-2022 12:33 PM
Spoiler:

Of course, but it is obviously a realm-defining decision to choose one girl/house over the other, so I think they had to provide the background, and at least provide some context as to why he made that choice, when he ultimately makes the "wrong" decision for himself and the realm.

The Slim Reaper 31-08-2022 12:42 PM
Show has made a great start and brings back all the old pre-season 7 memories of how good it used to be. I hope they end up rotating producers/runners so this one won't be beholden to the ambition any runners have to destroy star wars.

Niamh. 31-08-2022 12:45 PM
Spoiler:

I think he made that decision not only because she was young but also because he clearly wants to be married to Alicent more because of her father making sure she acts like she's interested in him. If that wasn't the case he may have decided on the younger girl who would benefit him more

a 12 yr old girl as your stepmom would've been just creepy :umm2:

Not quite on the same level as a 12yr old girl as a wife, though.

I have this channel. Will have a look on catch up.

Zizu 31-08-2022 04:10 PM
I’m loving this series ..

I would have omitted that scene in the garden walking alongside the very young girl though .. that is my only complaint..

Oh and I’m not liking the colour ( salmon pink ) of the dragons or that they seen skinnier

i think we all like it because it returns us to the pre season 7 sanity of the world of GoT :laugh:

I know Rhaenyra is 15 but don't know if they've said what Alicents age is, thought she might be a bit older

I'm not really sure what to make of Alicent atm, I'm guessing her father has been pretty awful torwards her in the past but I'm not sure if she has genuine affection for the King or was just doing what she was told and I don't know if she realised what her fathers plan was or not. Only 2 eps in I know but hopefully they'll flesh her character out a bit soon
