June 22Jun 22 Some thoughtsSpoilerIt would have been a great 2nd to last episode of the previous season as I would have been in to the story. I can't have been the only one who spent time trying to remember who half the characters were (sheep stealer rider) and what the plot lines were for them, because I didn't rewatch any of the previous season. They could have just used Nettles from the book there.I liked the dragon fight and the CGI. Was cool overall. The green people stuff was good. The High Towers coming in, nice (the main actor was mooted to be James Bond at one point and was great in a TV series over here called Happy Valley).It just didn't whelm me enough.

The section of the video I set the below to start it is a great example from GoT of this -- early on we might not have remembered the names of the characters, but we knew who they were (in this case, the younger sister, betrothed to the the second son who got eaten by Vhagar at the end of Season 1)

I've not really thought deeply about the program or the characters in any way since the season 2 finished, and in a cast of thousands, the specific character wasn't initially memorable enough for me to recall - I know they changed who it was from the books for a new character but their name or past, not a scooby. Will keep this vague. The weird lady that appeared post the defecation scene, no idea who she was until I watched a summary. And it made sense then with what will come.

June 29Jun 29 Completely obvious that these two episodes were episodes 9-10 of season 2 - stupid way to start a season. It's all downhill from here for the Targaryens

July 13Jul 13 Episodes 1-3 was easily the best run this show has had, ep 3 was the best writing by a country mile. Then ep.4 reminds you just how bad this show usually is. Painfully bad Xena level bs without the self awareness.
July 14Jul 14 Its been bugging me for a while about whio Rhaenyra reminds me of IRL. Its the ex UK PM Theresa "the Maybot" May. Talks like her, indecisive like her, can't lead, plummy Shires accentThe big positive so far is whoever casts the male Hightower leads (this time Ormund), they've found 2 really good actors. Can see why GRRM has disowned this series overall; way too varying quality wise.

The uneasiness to Rhaenyra first days as queen all accompanied by a brilliant backing score that just amplified the whole sense of it all. It will be interesting to see where Aegon's arc takes him

What an abysmal actor and character.
