Didn’t love the last episode, but look forward to season two.

I loved the last two episodes. I thought that was a great way to end the season. Season 1 feels almost like a prologue, really. Season 2 should be bananas.

This is exactly how I described it to a friend who thought it was moving way too fast.

They should’ve shot season 2 right away. If this was a yearly show, they would have a good audience of people who just keep their subscription year to year

Good end to the season, but way too rushed.

See you in ‘24!

It was nice to actually feel something during the finale -- namely, the creeping dread from the moment Jace touched down in Storm's End until his inevitable death. That whole sequence was so well done and really had me engaged. I'm an old chunk of coal and it's hard to evoke any feeling like that these days.

Did you emote during Viserys’s last walk towards the throne?

Storm’s End sequence felt like the T-Rex reveal in Jurassic Park; that huge silhouette of a grumpy Vhagar…

I'm also apparently losing my memory. Yes, that definitely got me in the feels as well.

My fantasy booking of how to make the Rhaenys scene work in the story overall:

-she can still burst through the floor for the spectacle of it
-Aegon’s dragon Sunfyre is supposedly very protective of him, so it should have been Sunfyre standing between Meleys and Aegon that prevents Rhaenys from acting instead of “I’m going to fly to Dragonstone and see what my husband thinks, despite always telling Rhaenyra and Alicent to stop being in service to men”

Excited to see it.

Going to have to watch the first season again before hand.

I can’t wait for this

I’ll be watching premiere night but I couldn’t bother to even finish this latest trailer. I’m apathetic.
