I’d say the kings mother tells them to leave so she can bang her toy boy in peace.

Homelander

Decent first episode, moved along at a good clip without being rushed.

Think it was more to do with the guy with the cane saying he replaced her staff, so she felt uncomfortable with them around because they're likely loyal to him.

more than likely yea, I was just being a bit tongue in cheek.

Solid return episode I thought. No security at all though seems very strange regardless.

The Golden Miller

It must be said, Olivia Cooke looks stunning as Alicent

Homelander

This is turning out to be rather good indeed. Not as slow as early Game of Thrones, but not rushed like the later seasons of that show either, just strikes the balance really well with plenty happening every episode.

Remind me who the girl prisoner is and her involvement?

A war about to breakout and people can just waltz into both castles not a bother(granted they thought it was his brother to be fair)

Otherwise very good 2 opening episodes.

Otto calling Cole's plan a prank, LOL

but Otto started this war, why talking about peace…

Rhaneary didn't seem to have that much guilt after asking for yermans head, its her fault as much as Daemon's

At the very least I can understand what she's saying this season. Her affected accent and pronunciation last year was awful. Thankfully she's toned it down a bit.

Sudden Valley

A very strong start to the season. Really enjoy how the writers write powerful conversations like the one between Aegon and otto this episode. Criston Cole is a great character to hate.

I can't help but think they should just swap. They're the two most powerful families on the continent. Just do a time share on the throne. When heir A dies, then it goes to heir A from the other family. And so on. Die old and fat and rich.

I guess the problem with dragons is characters can zip around the world. Episode 3 was slightly less intereting then the previous two. I'd say like GoT the show will struggle in avoiding showing any battles.

Great scene with Daemon and the dragon land at Harenhal.

Aemond looks cool with no patch.

She asked for the head of the adult who killed her son not a baby's head.

I was thinking that. Same as we did here with the O'Neills.

Doubt it was his eye that most of the viewers were looking at.

Another very good episode. Sorry to see the back of Rhaenys and her dragon Meleys. Her chickens came to roost but was a really strong character for the Blacks and the actress was good.

There was good payoff too in the Aegon & Aemond tension that’s been brewing.

I have watched the trailer for the next episode and (I can’t seem to add spoiler tags) it seems stupid that Aegon survived what looked like fire from Vhagar and a huge fall, even if his dragon Sunfyre possibly would have taken the brunt of it.

 it seems stupid that Aegon survived what looked like fire from Vhagar and a huge fall

Yeah why can't they do a realistic depiction of a high-speed dragon crash?😝😆

Homelander

That was seriously one hell of an episode. Absolutely dying for the next one in a way I haven't been since the mid seasons of Game of Thrones. Huge ramifications on both sides to be dealt with.

And will Daemon ever leave the haunted castle…..that plot seems comically stretched to keep Daemon out of what's unfolding elsewhere.

Also found it strange that Alicent specifically mentioned that Viserys only died a few weeks prior. I absolutely did not get the sense that it was a matter of simple weeks, given all that's happened…… felt more like a year or so at a minimum.

Guffy

Is there a series one recap?

Started ep 1 season 2 and about ten min in both of us were like wtf happened in season 1. Torn between watching the whole thing again or watching a recap atm
