I had no idea that's what the opening titles were about. I've been trying to figure it out.
I like the show but what is with the horrendous wigs??? They look like they are made of wool and would be better on a sheep.

This show started off strong but felt more rushed as it went on. By episode 6, there's thirty sub-plots that get set-up and resolved instantaneously and there's no time to invest in anything. I hope it gets better because I was really digging the opening episodes.

I hope it gets better because I was really digging the opening episodes. Episode 6 was a huge disappointment for me. The time jump was too great - so many things had obviously happened that we didn't get to see. The Rhaenya we knew in the first 5 episodes would never allow the queen to give her orders - especially when it came to wanting to see the newborn and her having just given birth. The princess can't have changed that much in the intervening years. Queen Alicent was sweet and loving in the previous episodes, I can't see her changing into a monster in that time even though her father's parting words to her were definitely a wake-up call. I also don't see Ser Christen changing into what they have had him become - and how was he not punished for what he did but is now Alicent's right-hand man? None of it makes sense and has ruined the show for me.

Yikes, episode 6 was complete trash. They need a big comeback this week because I'm starting to waver. When the dragons are the best characters in the show you know something is not quite right. Damn, that was a weak episode.

Damn, that was a weak episode. How people see things today Its either the greatest thing ever or its the worst thing ever There is nothing inbetween its ether 10/10 or 1/10 Its stupid and makes no logical sense.

The simple can't use more than a three value scale: "yeah!"", "meh" and "bah!". IMDb user ratings on a 10 level scale are a constant joke as the mob can't possibly make sense of the concept.

I can be impartial, but 6 was pretty bad. I haven't watched 7 yet. Hopefully it will be better.

Bu then again, I didn't think episode 6 was horrible.

I watched 7, it was pretty good.
I'm still not completely sold on the new cast but this episode had some good dramatic scenes going.
I am not sure I liked the ending though, why have Laenor survive? That was an odd choice. He had to give up his titles and let his parents think he's dead... etc...
And it's crazy how dark everything is in HotD. Whereas in GoT, Westeros was never this dark unless you were up north. I had to actually get close to the TV to see who was on that boat at the end.

Not the biggest fan of that because I think having Laenor killed would served the story better. It would've show that Rhaenyra is as ruthless as Alicent and muddled the waters between "hero" and "villain". Now as it stands it feels that Rhaenyra is the hero and Alicent is the villain. Instead they could've followed GRR Martin idea that the "villain is the hero of the other side"

HirundoRustica Thanks for posting all the 'Inside the Episode' vids. What'd you think of the first season overall? Thankfully, I shouldn't have to wait too long to see it as it's scheduled to be released here on DVD/Blu-ray sometime in December according to the place I buy my DVDs/Blu-rays at.
