Comes out tonight at 9 PM EST.

The first episode was pretty good so I hope they keep up the momentum. They also better have an actual opening credits this time lol.

Decent episode. I dont think this show will ever quite reach the heights of quality that Game of Thrones saw, simply because of its source material, but I think it will do pretty well.

I have much higher expectations for the future Dunk and Egg series, assuming it ever gets made.

I'll admit I wasn't paying the closest attention but I don't really know why he decided to go with Alicent after having the conversation with the "unbiased" guy.

The opening intro is not as good as the original series.

Viserys choosing Alicent to wed could've been done better. In the conversation with the other counsel guy, he could've asked about her at least.

Daemon does not seem like he'll be a villain against his brother or niece. He might just be an asshole, antagonize and have family quarrels but he seems to still be loyal.

I think if Lord Corlys tries to pit Daemon against his brother, it would be a mistake but I think he cares more about protecting the shipping lanes and his house.

Are you all saying you were surprised he picked Alicent? I thought it was telegraphed to the audience very clearly throughout the episode that he was gonna marry her. Unless you mean in-world it could've used more explanation to other characters, I'd agree. Like, you'd think he would have at least mentioned to his daughter he was gonna marry her best friend...

Definitely should have gaven us a new intro song. Also animation wasnt clear like the original. Original was map of Westeros, this one is the brach of Targaryen lineage, but more cryptic.

same.

who was his other option, a little girl who repeated whatever her parents told her?

plus, (I'm assuming) he's dying and he knows it to some extent, and doesn't wanna wait on having more kids.

Yeah I think for me it was more like I thought he was leaning towards Alicent and then he has the conversation with the guy which doesn't get any deeper than "As a neutral third party I think it's probably best to marry Corly's daughter" without any extra moment of realization in between as far as I can tell.

So it just feels like, as you said, that they needed to convey to us that there are political consequences for making the wrong choice, but couldn't figure out how to have that conversation without Viserys.

People make a good point that everyone else changes clothes except Alicent after the scene when she goes to his room. So its likely when Otto was getting ready to head to Dragonstone he told her to see the king tonight; they had sex that night and thats when Viserys decided Alicent was the one. So Otto played the game and won, beating Corlys as Corlys couldnt play that game yet as Laena is too young.

I remember Otto telling her that and it seemed odd that there was no follow through. Good catch on the clothes.

Other than dramatic effect for the marriage announcement, was there any reason why Alicent was in the room at the time?

I guess I'm actually in the minority on this. I love the intro song. I like that they kept it. The actual intro (like scenes of the blood) are new, they're good. I just fucking love that song lol. I know it reminds people of Game of Thrones and all and people didn't like how it ended, but like, it's just the Game of Thrones theme at this point. Consistency, I like that.

And yeah, I agree there prolly should have been another scene between him talking to the dude and the scene picking Alicent. Just IMO.

I looked up the Targaryen family tree to remember the names better so I knew about Alicent and Viserys unfortunately. But still enjoyed the episode.

Dunk and Egg never did much for me. Theyre okay but much more simplistic than ASoIaF and Fire & Blood.

Honestly Id be okay with Fire & Blood II before TWoW. I enjoyed F&B more than AFfC and ADwD.
