I debated watching this, since i had watched the full discussion episode first, but wow am I glad I did! The editing is top notch. Great video.

[@kimsdharma]

Awesome video, clever effects. Really enjoyed it so I'm feeding the algorithm (no smallfolk tithing required)

[@jackson857]

Great episode summary. Good stuff 👍

[@haiku5756]

Excellent (and witty) breakdown - thank you!

[@johndcoffee632]

Looking forward to spending the next 8 weeks with yall watching this show

[@HashtagWhattaNerd]

What a fantastic video! I’m really proud of you guys :)

[@JsHolgersson]

Awesome as always HoW! 🤘🐺🔥

[@Brellowcrop]

The video we've all been waiting for. Seriously, though. I've literally been sitting waiting for days, doing absolutely nothing. I can finally get my life back on track, or can I? No one knows, or do they? No, they don't

[@uriustosh]

It was an episode that we watched and will lead to more episodes that we shall watch. It has been said and it is known.

[@johndcoffee632]

"His eyes, plural" 🤣

[@ReallyGoodandKind]

We’re so back!

[@TaeSunWoo]

It is know 🗣️✨

[@DewkChronic]

The still shot of the tapestry of Vagars big bite and you see luke is falling so he didn't get eaten. We might learn that he survived.

[@TaeSunWoo]

Time for me to hit the traditional Targaryen griddy

[@MooseyGooseyy]

They showed that one servant girl of Helaena a few too many times this ep not to wonder.. it was either just so when blood runs into her we know he’s near Helaena, orrr this girl is gonna have more a part to play, hmm

[@DewkChronic]

Bravo, The Dungeons of Dragonstone. hehe

[@ozlemdenli7763]

thank you

[@LucidHorizons]

"Aegon the strong.... my nephews already took that one" (or something like that).

[@uriustosh]

Larys saying Otto is your fathers hand is odd since his own father was also the father's hand. Feels like he would have said the same thing worded differently.

[@andaas91]

Good episode :) Only note I have is that I feel the little interaction between Daemon and Rhaenyra should have been in Valyrian

[@ER2381erikDaRedd]

Ur alive! Plot twist

[@wayne47able]

They fumbled the blood and cheese scene. It was too PG13 ans Halena just gave in without a fight

[@HistoryofWesteros]

They toned down the cruelty and gore but I don't think that was necessary to keep. She doesn't fight back in the book either so I didn't have a problem with that. But yeah a lot of readers were disappointed, I'm seeing.

[@wayne47able]

@HistoryofWesteros when I say fight back I mean she offered herself in their place. To me it looked liked once they said choose, her mind was made up. And no whispering in little Maelors ear.

[@cassianandor1844]

Awesome

[@KdSm-r8f]

Yessss
