Also, man, I ****ing knew I recognized Alyn of Hull’s voice. It’s the voice actor who played Bayek from Assassin’s Creed: Origins!

That dude’s voice is like butter. I love it.

It tends to wear on, but I look at it as an attempt to NOT do what was done with Daenerys, where there was a perceived "out of nowhere" shift/change in her decision-making approach and demeanor.

They're taking time to show the build-up.

I know Daemon is a bit of a fan favorite, but the picture we're getting of him is of a "man of action" who has some real strengths (he is charismatic in the right settings, and a powerful warrior) but also some real flaws (following through and finishing things rather than running away, not understanding the thought patterns of people other than himself, not connecting deeply with people he cares about/care about him).

Harrenhal is exposing those flaws. He expected to show up and say "Hello, I'm the king, famous and renowned warrior Daemon Targaryen and I have a dragon and a Valyrian steel sword. Bring your armies to me!" and it has gone differently than he expected (because there is more to it than he realized).

It's good character development. Yes, the pacing is a little slow, but I think it's important stuff.

As somebody who's favorite character is Daemon, I don't have a problem with his storyline because I can see the growth and character development that will come out of it. It also makes sense considering this is downtime for him in the source material.

Aemon and Deamon have so much in common its hard not to be hopeful for a show down.

I guess I have to buckle down and finish the book. I jumped over to a knight of the seven kingdoms and blew right through it. I just don't like the book from the Maesters perspective and have a lot harder time retaining the info.

the second season of HoD is riveting...never read the books

they just have to cram lesbian shit in our face, huh?

You could drink antifreeze and never have to worry about it again. Little beta cuck bitch.

The scene between Larys and Aegon was just amazing.

Honestly the more I think about it the more this season is starting to annoy me. It's like every episode is the same exact thing. We only get 8 episodes and over half of those are Daemon hallucinating at Harrenhall and Rhaenyra whining about not being respected or some shit. Honestly this season has some good moments, but it's a lot of boring filler shit and we shouldn't get much filler if we only get 8 episodes.
