Things I liked

Intro updated! Meleys and Sunfyre are on the tapestry.
The Lannister's army bringing a live lion is such a vibe.
Aemond saying, "No, you idiot, I'm talking about Grandpa," was hilarious.
I love the idea of Larys leaning into the new shared disability aspect between him and Aegon II. Clever.
Gwayne being a proud uncle is a nice setup for introducing "The Daring" in Season 3.

Things / Random Thoughts

I honestly thought that was Casterly Rock... turns out it’s just the Golden Tooth. 🫤
Princes Aegon (the Younger) and Viserys seem way younger than in Fire & Blood. How is the Gullet going to work?
Did Aegon's drinking buddies get ripped apart by the mob?
Can someone remind me if Rhaenyra is canonically bisexual in Fire & Blood?
"Here's a description of sexual assault." Great, let's follow that with a makeout session...
Seasmoke: "You look like that kid I used to know—you're my rider now, deal with it."
Are they merging Nettles with Rhaena?
Also, Sheepstealer heard that the sheep are prettier than the women at the Vale. 😉
Steffon Darklyn totally could've claimed Seasmoke if he didn’t get cocky. As soon as he thought, "I DID IT," Seasmoke was like, "What are you doing, buddy?"
I think Simon Strong knows more than he’s letting on. The way he described Alys trying her "healing powers" on Grover Tully was suspicious.
Men will literally commit war crimes and sleep with their niece before giving their big bro a hug.

spoiler

I'm starting to think Rhaena is going to go rogue (like Dad) and "capture" Sheepstealer to prove her worth, leaving Aegon and Viserys vulnerable in the Gullet. I wonder if this will lead to the events with Joffrey and Viserys, which will start Aegon's dragon-related trauma and make Rhaenyra furious at Rhaena (after she trusted her children to her).

How could you not mention Rhanaerya and Mysaria??

Also - agree about the lion…I lol’d!

“Here’s a description of sexual assault.” Great, let’s follow that with a makeout session…

Not a direct mention😉

[–] CookieOfFortune 2 points 4 months ago

That seemed like poor taste to me. Like why can’t a hug just be a hug?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Ahhhh somehow totally missed that! Thanks for clarification :)

Simon strong definitely had a smirk on when he mentioned Alys. I get the impression he doesn't see Alys as we and Daemon see Alys. As if he sees through her glimmer.

[–] dornad 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Up until when he mentioned her, I was believing Alys was a ghost or manifestation of Harrenhal that only Daemon could interact with.

I still don’t think she has interacted with anyone else.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Simon has looked at her as she passed him. That's it.

Alys the black goat that Daemon speak with was my head canon

[–] dornad 1 points 4 months ago

Ohhh that’s a good theory!
