:durtis:

I didn’t find the CGI on the dragon at the start of the episode to be that great!

Thought the crab people had potential to be interesting so a little bummed they were just tanked in one episode.

Daemon charging in and somehow surviving was an amazingly shot scene but plot wise pretty dumb. I wasn’t even worried for him. This became my annoyance with the original show so I am hoping this doesn’t become a regular occurrence.

Thought the king part of the story was good. The dynamics of everyone assuming Aegon is now the heir but the king being torn is going to be very interesting. I am excited/interested to see how Alicent progresses her relationship with Otto, Rhaenyra and Viserys is really complicated.

fav ep yet, I really enjoyed all the scenes at the king's hunt. Even though they had a big time jump this is the first time I really felt some strong continuity with the characters and their relationships, in particular with Rhaenrya/Viserys and Rhaenrya/Alicent (for the one scene we got, hope/assume there will be more soon). Gonna be sad when

not really spoilers but just in case	+
they do the big time skip and we lose this version of Rhaenrya cuz she's been portrayed sooo well. D'Arcy's gonna have big shoes to fill

battles were kinda whatever. Daemon killing/dodging everything at the end was approaching late GOT type plot armor tbh. Also a little disappointed that the Crab King didn't last longer, that was a really cool/memorable design. Although if that was greyscale Daemon might be uhh...kinda fucked!

Also, loved that little moment with the dude getting squished in the beginning. lol'd

Agree. Best episode yet. Starting to minorly like a character or two

Good ep. Viserys stole the show, I think Paddy Considine is doing great. Him and Daemon and Rhaenrya are an interesting trifecta of characters so far

I thought the CGI throughout the whole ep was wonky af. Some of the arrows flying at Daemon looked so cartoonish lol. That sequence was dece but could've been done a lot better. I hated the off screen death for crab man

Same @ crab man. I thought that was a weird choice to not show

Spoiler	+
Agreed, not excited for the Rhaenrya switch but excited for the Alicent switch. I thought young Alicent was kinda...bad in this ep but Olivia Cook is always great

Another good episode! I'd give it a strong A. A+ if not for some of the arrow scene stuff. People motivations are making a good deal of sense and no one is really doing anything too ridiculous or outright evil for evil's sake. I enjoy!
