I agree with all your points. One of the best episodes for me

Oscar Tully is certified already, what a legend. More Corlys, Alyn and Addam please. All three actors are cooking when they are given things to do. I was stunned by the sowing of the Dragonseeds. That was unexpected how callous and indifferent Rhaenyra was, she didnt even give them basic Valyrian commands, any clues or exit strategy, she even had her guards stop them from fleeing. She didnt care if 98 of them burned if she got 2 new dragonriders. Welcome Rhaenyra the Cruel! Where have you been? I loved Jace confronting her about her decisions leading to his parentage, the danger she put him in. And she's creating further danger for him by demonstrating bastards can dragonride (undermining his main defence of his lineage and his right to her Throne: "of course I am full-blooded Valyrian cos I can dragonride"). Hugh the Hammer is a G and Ulf is acting all new money with his ride 😂 Gotta wonder how those 2 are gonna feel about being left out there to die like that. Aemond and Vhagar vs. Rhaenyra and dragons was an epic staredown. You could tell Vhagar was down to go Leeroy jenkins about it while Aemond bricked himself and fled

They keep hinting at a massive change from the books, that I am here for. In the books there are two wild dragons. Rhaena is seeking out a wild dragon in the show, when in the books she never gets a Dragon. One of the wild dragons is called Sheepstealer the smallest dragon, but that was claimed by a rider in the books yet to be introduced in series yet. But there is another wild Dragon only mentioned in the books and I think they are bringing this Dragon into the plot of the show by having Rhaena claim it and that will be a game changer. The Dragon’s name is Cannibal and said to be even bigger than Vhagar and eats other Dragons. And it would great that Rhaena claiming the only Dragon that beat Vhagar one on one after she had Vhagar stolen from her.

I still don't want to give up on Nettles! Are they giving Rhaena her story (i.e. Rhaena is about to claim Sheepstealer), or is Rhaena about to sneak off and track Sheepstealer down, only to find Nettles already taming/riding it? I'd love more Cannibal but I dunno if they will feature with a rider- surely that would have been recorded in the histories of the Dance, and possibly even have tipped the scales of the war?

@@osman732 I seriously don’t believe they will not have Nettles one of the popular characters in the book, not in the show, I think they are doing a misdirect by making people think she is tracking Sheepstealer, but it turns out to be the legendary Dragon Cannibal and the TV shows often confirm legends hinted in the books, like Hodors origin and Jon Snow’s parents. It would be so epic to have Cannibal a Dragon rumoured to be biggest living dragon going up against Vhagar.
