They probably could age her up a wee bit with makeup. They did that with ealhswith in the last kingdom and she changed up her voice to sound older. The actress was playing an old woman by the end and she was probably late 20s/30 at the time
Same with ser crispy, he's out here looking the same age as he did at the tourney 20 odd years before

Maybe he’s wearing Melisandre’s necklace 😂

That's what I was wondering, I couldn't tell if the scene/his character was meant to be serious or not.

Yeah they didn’t make it clear for people who haven’t read the book. He’s a dragon seed, same as Hugh Hammer. Targaryen bastards. Alyn and Addam are Velaryon bastards.

Who is Ulf? Is he really a Targaryen?

Gotta be. I say that only because why add such a scene unless it’s paramount to the show? It didn’t feel like a filler scene?

Also can we all appreciate how funny Queen Rhae is. Her facial expression/body language and tone was hilarious when talking to the worm about her gay husbands dragon, and the way she walks off when worm makes the lonely comment 😂 also I can’t remember the wording but the way she delivered it and her facial expression was comical when she says to Alicunt re her approach ‘oh I did that a little wrong’. It was only on the second watch that I appreciated both scenes 😂

Absolutely loved the scene of Baela and Moondancer - love all the details on the different dragons and their riders. They, the dragons, feel like proper characters in HOTD, different from GOT.

I agree, I also love seeing their connection with their riders - Syrax and Rhaenyra, Caraxes and Daemon, Meleys and Rhaenys…it’s just a shame what happens to them all in the end :(

Watched the last episode only yesterday; not as intense as the previous one but still good. I need Aegon to find out where exactly Ser Crispy was when his son and heir was killed 👀 make dragon food out of him, I beg you, oh crazy one.

The whole thing of Rhaenyra getting into King‘s Landing to talk to Alicent was straight out of Game of Thrones seasons 5-8 plot insanity 😁 what was the point other than getting the two actresses back on screen together (which I enjoyed, yes)?
It did show though that Alicent has no power whatsoever. Rhaenyra was willing to call off the war, but Alicent can’t do the same. She’s not the queen, Ser Crispy is thisclose to turning against her, her father lost his job and fled the city, creepy LittleFoot has her under surveillance and her son the king will never listen to her. What’s the point in Alicent even being there, is what I’m asking, I guess 😂

I mean, true. It was pointless. But I also really enjoyed it 😂

It pains me it doesn't air on Sunday nights here! What am I supposed to do, go to bed? Boring... Where are my dragons?
 
I can't believe there are only 8 episodes this season. I think its because of a sensible plot stopping point potentially. My theory -
originally I thought this season may end with Rhaenyra and Daemon taking Kings Landing but now I think that may be too fast timeline wise?

I think it would be too soon for that, not even sure if we’ll get the Battle of the Gullet in this season tbh.
 
Damn. I wasn’t spoiled for anything and now I kind of wish I was.
Not going to spoil it though as many won’t have watched yet.
I wish Ser Crispy was played by a better actor, there have been many characters I despised in the GoT universe, but I enjoyed seeing them because they were mostly played by really good actors. Not the case here imho, he looks and acts way too modern.
Ok, need to recover 👀
