    Things I liked

    • Intro updated! Meleys and Sunfyre are on the tapestry.
    • The Lannister’s army bringing a live lion is such a vibe.
    • Aemond saying, “No, you idiot, I’m talking about Grandpa,” was hilarious.
    • I love the idea of Larys leaning into the new shared disability aspect between him and Aegon II. Clever.
    • Gwayne being a proud uncle is a nice setup for introducing “The Daring” in Season 3.

    Things / Random Thoughts

    • I honestly thought that was Casterly Rock… turns out it’s just the Golden Tooth. 🫤
    • Princes Aegon (the Younger) and Viserys seem way younger than in Fire & Blood. How is the Gullet going to work?
    • Did Aegon’s drinking buddies get ripped apart by the mob?
    • Can someone remind me if Rhaenyra is canonically bisexual in Fire & Blood?
    • “Here’s a description of sexual assault.” Great, let’s follow that with a makeout session…
    • Seasmoke: “You look like that kid I used to know—you’re my rider now, deal with it.”
    • Are they merging Nettles with Rhaena?
    • Also, Sheepstealer heard that the sheep are prettier than the women at the Vale. 😉
    • Steffon Darklyn totally could’ve claimed Seasmoke if he didn’t get cocky. As soon as he thought, “I DID IT,” Seasmoke was like, “What are you doing, buddy?”
    • I think Simon Strong knows more than he’s letting on. The way he described Alys trying her “healing powers” on Grover Tully was suspicious.
    • Men will literally commit war crimes and sleep with their niece before giving their big bro a hug.
    spoiler

    I’m starting to think Rhaena is going to go rogue (like Dad) and “capture” Sheepstealer to prove her worth, leaving Aegon and Viserys vulnerable in the Gullet. I wonder if this will lead to the events with Joffrey and Viserys, which will start Aegon’s dragon-related trauma and make Rhaenyra furious at Rhaena (after she trusted her children to her).
