I just wonder what impact all of this will have on the Targaryan descendants hundreds of years later.

Probably will be an epic ending to all this Aegon's dream stuff. Super excited for that!

Inside Man on Netflix was very disappointing.

I love David Tennant and you can't really go wrong with Stanley Tucci and their acting was just fine in this. However, the writing was just off enough to ruin it. The characters were put (presumably) into situations where they had to make some crazy decisions. The problem is, the characters just made such ridiculous decisions based on the scenario. Like really... it would have just taken an ounce of creativity to write in a scenario to make their decisions less ridiculous. I tried to suspend disbelief, but it just kept nagging at me there were SO many easier and less destructive options given the position they were in. Then they try act like this was the only option.

I dunno, I really enjoyed Dillon and Tucci. Dillon kept making me chuckle.
 
Nothing! But shouldn’t we be talking about it? I realize that maybe it would be dangerous to do that with you guys if you’ve read the books and know what happens next. Though that was the case with GOT too….
 
that it was her whiny son that bit the dust?

Love how they set her up as the wise womanly peacemaker only to slaughter her kid and invoke the wrath. So good.

I liked that kid, actually. Just an innocent lamb. Yet clearly bravery was in him. Felt terrible when he got swallowed up. Fuckers made it seem he had gotten away, and then that. Bastards.

After he was dead, I looked up quickly on wiki that he was actually the second born, and Jayce is the older one, which is how they looked and acted. Unlike Aegon and Aemmond, who still seem flipped.

I read in the episode reviews that apparently in the books Aemmond totally kills him on purpose, but here they did it like he didn't intend it and the two dragons sparring caused the tragedy. There's a fair amount of pooping on that decision, but I think it's a good one, makes it more interesting that it was a bullying that got out of control.

Yeah we got confused because they kept talking about the younger one inheriting a throne but of course that was Driftmark not King's landing. Makes much more sense. I don't feel bad for him, he was a spoiled whiny brat and he sliced the guy's eye out. not a good guy.

kinda wish that they had made it intentional tbh. patchy is a badass and it would be better if he was just a remorseless asshole. of course likely he'll end up saying he did it on purpose anyways and make himself even more assholish, which is good too.

it was also pretty cool to see the actual difference in size between the dragons. Vhagar is a fucking monster.

also love when Daemon listed all the dragons and then went down to visit that ugly motherfucker. was that his dad's dragon? more dragons please.

minor detail but the fact that the map table lit up like that was cool.

Sliced the guy's eye out? Patchy was about to smash his brother's head open with a rock. Don't be like the girls out there and go for the bad boy.

I think he'll actually go back and say that it wasn't intentional, but no one will believe him after that scene in the castle and him taking off right after him. It'll make him more of an asshole, but a more conflicted one. Still, intentional or not, only bad shit could've come out of chasing after him like that, so it's almost like a felony crime where an accidental murder gets committed but the law says fuck you, you shouldn't have been robbing the bank with a gun, so it's first degree. He'll deserve whatever comes, which I assume for now is Daemon at some point slicing him open in the Battle of You Stole My Whole Look.

Yeah, there was something about the massive dragon and apparently the song he was singing. I get all these crazy spoiler articles on my FB feed but I don't dare read them. I do know that there are untamed dragons held in captivity and that may have been one of them. Yes, more. And it's kinda fucked up that in GOT there were no dragons other than those three. Feels like something monumental has to happen for them to totally die out by then.

Yeah, the table was cool, I think I read that when it appears in GOT when Dany reclaims Dragonstone, they didn't know it lit up. I love when they go to places we saw in GOT. I think where Rhaenera steals the dragons and busts open the place, that's the red keep, which Cersei destroys later with the wildfire assault?

The kids are a product of stupid parents. The kids themselves were pals before the parents shaped them into hating each other.

Yes it was his dad's dragon. iirc the second biggest (aemonds is the biggest).

The fun part is just how small Drogon was.

Aemond is a bad ass.



Below is a mild book spoiler
Jacaerys becomes a stark stan. He is the one going to winterfell. So that will be cool to watch in season 2.

Sucks we are waiting two years until season 2.

Vague book spoiler.... But a bigger deal than the one I provided above.
The red wedding is nothing compared to what happens next. Should happen early in season 2.


Less of a spoiler... Bit of dragon history from the books and original game of thrones

The dragons died out before GoT. Danys three eggs likely came from dreamfyre (helaena). So I do expect her to have a riddle dream about danys dragons before the series ends.

GoT references quite often what happens to the dragons in the world. Dragons were gone over 100 years before the start of game of thrones.
