I am whelmed. Felt like mostly setup but the whole Aemond/Luc sequence was well done. They did a really good job conveying just how ridiculously big Vhagar is. Also Aemond's sapphire eye was p cool

looking forward to meeting the Stark lord next season

older Rhaenrya still seems kinda boring compared to the younger version, but maybe now that her wrath is about to be unleashed we'll see more from her. idk! I like just about everyone else on her squad tho (although Rhaenys looks like an even bigger dummy for not ending the war last week if she ends up siding with Rhaenyra anyway)

8 was definitely the high point of this season

idk I didn't mind the accident thing, you can still 100% blame Aemond cuz he was at best trying to "prank" Luc by chasing him around with a giant nuclear weapon, and seemed pretty serious about getting his eye for an eye retribution as well. He just didn't intend for it to escalate QUITE that far. I think now that the deed is done he'll slip into a more villainous personality tho (ala Jaime in S1, who may have been justified by being a Kingslayer, but his reputation wore on him), really this should push every character into their worst impulses if they were still holding anything back

If they're going for a gradual descent into madness/murder, I'm all for that arc compared to certain characters just being evil from the jump. Kinda like with Alicent in S1, they went out of their way to make her more sympathetic than I know she is in the books, even though she'll probably let out her inner Cersei a bit more as the war goes on
