Well, holy crap.

The dance has finally started. Great episode.

Vagar was much stronger, but Rhaenys should have been more aware of its whereabouts, it shouldn't have caught her by surprise.

I think Aegon II is still alive.

Vaghar has that new dragon stealth technology. Rhaenys never stood a chance

When is that big ass dragon from the end of the 1st year come out to play? That Daemon went to go find in that cave?

LA Times: House of the Dragon writer Sara Hess and actress Eve Best see Rhaenys as Hillary Clinton:

Sara Hess and Eve Best said:
What Rhaenys represents is someone with absolute authority, power, wisdom, intelligence, expertise, political savvy and utter compassion — a constant awareness of [the need for] collaboration and making a choice for love, as opposed to destruction.

Sara Hess and Eve Best said:
There’s so much of Hillary Clinton [in Rhaenys]. God knows you couldn’t compare Viserys to the other one [former President Trump], but the similarities are very clear — to see that the person who is absolutely, hands down, best suited for the job is sidelined simply because she’s a woman, and then has to somehow find her way.

Sara Hess and Eve Best said:
One of the things that gave me the most respect for Hillary Clinton was in the aftermath of [the 2016 election], how she navigated her role/non-role and brilliantly maintained her dignity, self-respect and leadership. That felt like territory that Rhaenys was treading.

Sara Hess is also the writer responsible for Larys's foot fetish (invented for the TV series, with no basis in the books):

Sara Hess said:
I just remember we were in the writers room one day, and I was like: it would be awesome if Larys came at the sight of Alicent's feet

Oh come on, you have such a good show, you don't need to ruin it with modern day American politics.

I want to love this show, but this season I'm not really digging everything about it. It will be just 8 episodes, there shouldn't be that much filler. It still has many great moments, but some of the storylines are just dragging.

1. Sidelining Daemon, one of the most interesting characters. The Harrenhal haunting / hallucinations was interesting for a while, but not for a full season arc.
2. Rhaenyra and The Blacks aren't doing anything compelling so far. All the interesting bits are happening on the Greens' side.

I'm sure next episode, being the second to last, will have something big happening.

Ok I dont care for cliff hangers.
If someone can tell me who claimed Seasmoke, that would be great
You could put it in the spoiler tag if you like.
I know a ton of you know these stories already.

One of Corlys Velaryon's bastards, the one with the dreads.

BTW, question: Since Velaryon's are also dragon riders, what happened to Corlys' dragon?

Corlys never had one. Velaryons are, in general, not dragon riders. That's why it is such a surprise that Corlys's bastard can ride one.
