Ballsy… she is learning from “chaos hoodie” Daemon.

Things I liked

• Intro updated! Jaehaerys and Rat-catchers shown. Luke’s death no longer shown 😔
• Braken v Blackwood!
• Rhaenys keep speaking truths.
• “It’s a big chair, made of swords” - Daemon cracks me up.
• Ulf is growing on me.
• I love how we were shown a gruesome after-battle in the Riverlands, and everyone is basically saying “That was a cheeky skirmish between the Brackens and Blackwoods”
• Loved seeing “little” Moondancer.
• It seems we’re walking towards evil stepmother and Maegor with Teats after all/

Weird Things / Random Thoughts

• That was Bloody Ben, right ?
• Hull is everyone’s favorite shit-talking uncle.
• That was Alys Rivers over a Harrenhal, right ?
• Did… they make Aegon’s posse from the previous episodes the new KG ?
• It’s been a while since I read F&B, but I don’t recall Daemon getting prophetic/dragon dreams.
• Wait… is the show implying that the curse of Harrenhall could be tied to the weirwoods ?
• The premise of the secret Sept meeting is ridiculous, but the scene itself was great.
• I am not buying “Seasmoke is acting out because it’s bored” - I think this might be a sign that something happened to Laenor.
• I appreciate that the “misunderstanding” angle in HotD is being sidelined. While misunderstandings did play a role in the events leading up to this point, the conversation at the Sept makes it clear that Alicent knows Viserys didn’t truly want Aegon to be king. At this stage, Alicent’s actions are more about ignorance, greed, ambition, and other emotions that have entangled her and the rest of the characters deeply…

I loved Otto in this episode.

Slowly realizing that VizzyT was great.

Also Peak Otto:

“Daughter, as long as we are together we can work through any issue”

“I have sinned, dad”

“OMG y’all are the worst - that does it - leavin’ right now for Oldtown to hang with Daeron”

Things I liked

• New intro still rules. I may have to re-watch it, afaict it didn’t change from a week ago.
• Laughin’ out loud at Daemon smirking in his own corner while the Black Council was trying to figure out Blood & Cheese.
• The scene between Daemon and Rhaenyra was incredible.
• Seasmoke Sighting!
• Daeron Mentioned!
• The brother’s duel

Weird Things / Random Thoughts

• The cut at Rhaenyra with Viserys/Aegon was odd… I thought that was a flashback of Aegon with Jaehaerys/Jaehaera.
• The Seasmoke scene… for a second there I thought that was John Macmillan (Laenor’s actor)
• Tom Glynn-Carney is the early MVP and IMHO most improved actor of this season. I really hope they update all imagery of HotD to feature him vs Rhaenyra for S3 and beyond.
• Phia Saban (Helaena) is a masterclass at saying so much without words (or as few of them as possible).
• Shoutout to the twins, once the Cargyll duel started - I was on the edge of my seat - and unable to tell them apart.

Things I liked

• The new intro - IMHO it is much better than 3D Valyria model, but not as good as OG Planetos’ map.
• Seeing the north, Winterfell and the Wall again
• Cregan Stark was better than I expected.
• Meeting new characters, a lot of time spent with this Alyn fella in the docks with Corlyn 😉
• Rhaenyra and Jacaerys mourning scene was the standout scene for me.
• Looks like they’re using humor to humanize Aegon II.
• Seeing everyone over at r/asoiaf loose their mind over Blood and Cheese ROFL

Things that puzzled me.

• Torren knelled at the wall ?
• Cole x Alicent - IMHO it came out of nowhere.
• The pacing of Blood & Cheese and the fact that the final minutes of the episode was split into 3 scenes: Blood & Cheese, Helaena’s random walking and finally her entering Alicent’s chamber.

Random Thoughts

• So… is Maelor chillin’ with Daeron (The Daring) over at Oldtown ?
• Change the intro as much as you like, every season if you will. As long as OG GoT theme song plays, it will never be skipped.
• I love that they are still leaving us with the idea that, just like F&B, some events are still not completely understood/shown. We never see Daemon give the explicit order to target <redacted/> - same as we never see Daemon explicitly say “Heir for a Day” back in S1.
• I really think that Rhaenyra will be furious at Daemon - not only because he single-handedly plunged everyone further into a MAD scenario, but Rhaenyra’s side (probably) just lost the moral high ground.

To put that into context:

if all you had was a $100 USD Note, the equivalent of that “slap on the wrist” fine would be $1.23

For Colombians who suffered at the hand of the guerrilla-paramilitary conflict, it was not 70 years ago.

The paramilitary group mentioned in the article, AUC, disbanded around 2006-2008.

Can reliably code in: Swift.

At some point in time have written code in: C++, Java, Python, ActionScript 3, Objective-C, C#, Lua, GDScript.

Charles was never dead in the original series. It came really close to him dying…. If not for Lilandra coming along in the finale and saying that she can save him, but she will have to take him out to space.

During the first couple episodes of the series , I thought that the whole “Charles’s dead” was a cover-up by the X-Men and Magneto.

But now, I am starting to believe that Charles decided to just YOLO it with Lilandra and don’t tell anyone back on earth that he’s ok.

… you work in offensive security and… game development

Are you … Thor ? 😁

Thanks everyone for the feedback and replies! Much appreciated.

I’ll take a closer look at my pcpartpicker list and update it with the suggestions. I’ll probably end up dropping the liquid/water cooling and just get an ATX power supply (vs a SFX power supply).

🙏 😁

This is amazing… is this a well documented feature in Godot?

Cousin, I wear unstable molecule suits now.

Mine is a spoon that is different from all the other… and it is specifically for cat food.

That’s the supplemental one. Main one’s offscreen.

Merry Christmas! Deep Rock Galactic.

Kang the Convicted

He has been tapped, but AFAICT not confirmed yet.

Something that I find interesting is that he is a superb parent/father character actor (I.e.: Joel and Mando), so a possible older Reed with Valeria and Franklin is a very interesting take.

Great LastWeekTonight episode. Very clearly the F in FDA is silent….
