In case anyone's still watching. Episode 4: Begins with the aftermath of the sack of Duskendale. Criston beheads Lord Darklyn who says before, “Is there no honor left in this world, Cole?” Criston has a biting reply. The image of a bloody Criston beheading Darklyn can be seen in the teaser trailer.
Battle of Rook’s Rest
Alys Rivers spits and screams at some soldiers at Harrenhall. Extra's on set said Gayle's performance was strong and the character was creepy.
Criston, Gwayne, and Rhaenys need stunt doubles this episode. There were leaked images of Fabian and Freddie's stunt doubles. Eve will be using the same stunt double as Emma used for episode 2. In the teaser trailer, Criston appears to fall off his horse in the midst of battle.
Before the battle, Criston yells at Gwayne to get dressed for battle and ask him why he's not ready. There was a leaked video of Fabian and Freddie filming this scene.
Criston gives a rousing speech at the beginning of the battle and tells the army their king is with them. There was a leaked video of this speech.
There were leaked image of a Sunfyre sized blue screen behind Aegon’s personal cavalry.
Fabian filmed a scene of Criston getting on his knees beside a burnt body at the end of the battle.
There was a leak of Fabian and Ewan filming a scene were a tired and bloody Criston walks up to and talks to Aemond who is casually swinging his sword outside of a tent.
Alan Taylor is confirmed to have directed this episode. Better find out here how the Lannisters paid for the Doom of Valyria.

One of my favorite epiosdes of either series. After butchering Blood and Cheese, they made up for it tenfold with Rook's Rest.

Great episode that I don't think wasted a single second.

I think it's ridiculous that Team Black doesn't ask the question "What if Vhagar shows up?" when any move is planned. They literally shouldn't send anyone anywhere until they come up with an adequate plan to address that contingency.

I must say, the aerial dragon battle special effects were quite spectacular, and that's a significant compliment from me as I usually don't pay much attention to such details. I felt terrible for Meleys and Princess Rhaenys. Aemond is evil; did he seek out his brother to finish him off? I believe he intended to do that, and Criston Cole intervened, didn't he?

I saw people call "bad acting" about Rhaenyra not being convincing in telling Jace about Aegon's dream. And for a moment I thought of bad writing: why would Rhaenyra neglect the whole vision and prophecy thing only to bring it up now. Then I heard her say "that's why I must believe" and I realised it is political, not sincere. And indeed, Rhaenyra sounds and looks like she's passing on a carefully crafted lie, not a real conviction. Perfect acting.

I disagree that Aemond is evil. He showed remose for what happened to Luke, and Aegon kinda asked for what happened in the previous episode. It's interesting that the show has swapped his book intentions - in the book, Luke's death is most probably on purpose and Aegon's burning is collateral damage.

I share your sentiment; it would be refreshing if a series remained true to its book's narrative without alterations for the television adaptation. Regarding Aemond, it is indeed depicted that he shows some remorse when his dragon slays Luke. There are rumors concerning Helena's children being Aemond's rather than Aegon's. However, these are speculative and are they confirmed by the books?

However, these are speculative and are they confirmed by the books? The book only knows what was publicly known or said, so there is a lot of leeway as to what happened out of sight. It makes Luke's death intentional because Aemond never bragged about losing control and no one else was there to see the fight. If Helaena's children are Aemond's, how could anyone know? There was no historian taking notes in the bedroom. The show can add a lot of hidden stuff that would not make it in history books, like Aemond showing remorse in private or would have been left out for political reasons, like Aegon taking his guards to brothels. I don't mind changes as long as they make sense. Rhaenyra going in secret to King's Landing to surprise Alicent in a public place was so completely stupid and impossible it's a shame. As to the dragon fight, people on the ground could only see from a distance.

Remorse doesn't change anything and killing someone for words is far out of proportion. Aemond will be roasting kittens next episodes.

It felt like it could have been handled better to showcase their strengths and complexities.
