I have been thinking about something for a while. Guess, HoTD is a very rare example where the TV show can be considered the canonical version of the events, while the book that it is based on is actually the rendering with "changes in the story".

Hahahahaha, okay will try!

Lol, here you go! Hope it is close to what you visualised.

I really like the explanation he gives for what Rhaenyra is doing. Makes so much sense.

Melf's Minute Meteors are better ^^ Is that what happened? Oof, have to watch that scene again, the way I remember it, it cut between Daemon being reflected in the eye of Caraxes, to Caraxes being reflected in the eye of Daemon. Ooh, yes, they should have given some screen time for the three sisters, and Maris goading Aemond. Had forgotten about that scene from the books. If they had shown those scenes, then what Aemond is doing makes total sense. Also, went to sleep for 3 hours, and already 15 pages smh.

^yeah I really liked the Strom's End scenes, and the illuminated table, even though they went overboard with the minifigs again lol.

What I did not like about the dragon fight was how easily Vhagar catches up to Arrax. Arrax should have been faster and nimble, but it looks like Vhagar just outmanoeuvres Arrax despite being larger. Visually, it was pretty cool though. And yeah, same question, what was Aemond even trying to accomplish there. They also showed some kind of psychic connection between Rhaenyra and Syrax, which showed a bit of skinchanger like abilities, something that was downplayed in GoT (was so disappointed that we did not get a full-fledged Varamyr Sixskins). This was one aspect of Westeros that always intrigued me. Oh, and they gave Daemon some pretty kickass lines, that Matt delivered gloriously.

Im actually liking the changes in the show. Rhaenyra not being hesitant about sending her kids out, shows more confidence in them. Aemond killing Luce because he lost control of Vhagar.

Rhaenyra was 14 when she became the heir? Oof... Rhaenys gets armoured up before the audience lol. She could have given a more convincing argument for not killing the Greens. Finally, in the last episode, they are clearly referring to the factions. I just wish the show would have clearly depicted how it all started in the tournament. Jace is every bit the badass I thought he would be. Wonder why they are not showing the malformed Targaryen babies. So it begins. Solid first season.

Hmmm 17 pages. Lots to catch up on. Disgusting stuff in this episode lol

Exactly. I mean this episode is either boring or not much to discuss about. Paddy was awesome tho.

Think people are finding it boring. Last episode's thread was into 8 pages within four hours after airing lol.

I was thinking and thinking what Helaena's rambling reminded me of, and it finally clicked! The intro sequence to Wheel of Time.

I noticed the same thing lol! I posted about it also earlier in the thread! Daemon seems to have a thing for shipwrecks.

Keep your enemies closer... Daemon would snigger at this.
