Things I liked

  • New intro still rules. I may have to re-watch it, afaict it didn't change from a week ago.
  • Laughin' out loud at Daemon smirking in his own corner while the Black Council was trying to figure out Blood & Cheese.
  • The scene between Daemon and Rhaenyra was incredible.
  • Seasmoke Sighting!
  • Daeron Mentioned!
  • The brother's duel

Weird Things / Random Thoughts

  • The cut at Rhaenyra with Viserys/Aegon was odd... I thought that was a flashback of Aegon with Jaehaerys/Jaehaera.
  • The Seasmoke scene... for a second there I thought that was John Macmillan (Laenor's actor)
  • Tom Glynn-Carney is the early MVP and IMHO most improved actor of this season. I really hope they update all imagery of HotD to feature him vs Rhaenyra for S3 and beyond.
  • Phia Saban (Helaena) is a masterclass at saying so much without words (or as few of them as possible).
  • Shoutout to the twins, once the Cargyll duel started - I was on the edge of my seat - and unable to tell them apart.

@dornad I genuinely fear for Rhaenyra when her and Daemon are alone in a room together.
