mr_hunt Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 On 8/29/2022 at 10:19 AM, Agent23 said: this is basically season 1 of thrones without having half a dozen locations and POV to be thrown at us at once. Jon/Nights Watch Winterfell (Robb keeping afloat when Ned is gone, keeping the peace when Ned is attacked, I think being crowned end of 10 after Ned's beheading) Kings Landing (learning Robert's backstory and motives, bond with Ned, injury and succession, battle for power with Cersei and Joffrey, Jaime as antagonist) Riverlands/Eyrie (Cat takin Tyrion hostage, learning about the crossroads where people will continue to pass in the series, meeting her psycho sister and widow of the former Hand of the King, Cat) Tyrion - basically his own POV character that crossed paths with Jon early on, then Cat later on, then goes on his own adventures with Bronn leading to meeting Tywin and Jaime commanding an army Danerys - basically everything with her and Jorah and Drogo and Dothroki and learning all the lore of these people This show is basically just saying "what if we only had the Kings Landing political intrigue to start with and just focused episodes on those people and players" yeah...so far, i don't have to watch each ep multiple times & read online recaps to follow the story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannan Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 When I first watched GoT there were so many characters thrown at me in such a short period of time it was several episodes before I got them all straight and started piecing together who the protagonists were. This show has a much simpler approach but it takes you right back to the GoT universe. I just want a solid hour of good entertainment, and it definitely has done that so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiPros Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I may give this one a try even though I never made it through the end of GoT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoEagle Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 The only complaint I have so far is a lack of boobs and wangs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps that I've probably seen the first 4 seasons anywhere from 5-8 times a piece over the past decade, but its wild how jarring that was originally, but now I probably know more about each of those character than people in my real-world life 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorontoEagle Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Speaking of wangs...you think we'll see some actual dragons banging? I'd like to see how they bang, and how they produce those wonderful eggs. Like, what makes an egg come out black? Is it the colour combo of the two dragons banging? Does the broad dragon lay an egg, then the dude dragon come in and fertilize it? Inquiring minds need to know 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent23 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I thought I explicitly referenced Baywatch, but it seeing my quoted text I just alluded to it. But while she was still hawt in that film, they went about as modest as possible given the nature of the film and the rating of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemack8 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 She’s one of those who got in the game doing nude scenes and then I guess tried to become a serious actress? With hits like Baywatch and San Andreas of course 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
