Wife and I were laughing at how much Tywin would have hated the feeble d*baggery attempts to gain favor by his ancestor Jason Lannister.

It seems to me like the writers at least want us to think Rhaenyra will look to wed Laenor Velaryon. It potentially solidifies her claim which she now likely feels is a way for her to remain heir after her talk with viserys. Laenor flies dragons, like her, so some common interest. Right after her dad told her to find her own match was the scene where he flew his dragon at the stepstones. He is heir to a wealthy family, has pure blood like her, etc. Or, does she try to really break tradition and go for Sir Christon Cole? The writers haven't really set up any others as truly being legitimate options for her so far (if she is picking and not her dad).

My biggest suspension of disbelief is that anybody who has the option of flying on a dragon would ever have interest in riding a horse again.

You don't always drive the Ferrari, sometimes it's just more prudent to take the SUV when running around town.

Beat me to it.

Said nobody who has ever owned a Ferrari.
Not that I have but it's a nightmare. Watch this video of a guy who tried it:

Or
Fuel economy - of course it's terrible
Excessive attention - Everywhere you go everyone wants to see it and talk to you (unless you are on Rodeo Drive).
Picking up more than one person ever.
Parking - don't want a tight spot, don't want an unsafe spot, don't want to valet cuz you don't want anyone driving it and messing it up, so you end up parking wya far away from anything and worrying about the car the entire time you leave it unattended.
Screw in tire - 3 days for an appt and $116 to fix because you cannot take a Ferrari to a non Ferrari dealer for anything or you'll never sell the car.
Insurance - most limit your miles in a luxury vehicle so it isn't worth it for most trips
Harsh ride - Roads are bad and worse in a Ferrari. Every pothole and dip and speed bump is like hitting a brick.
Clearance - gotta watch dips, small inclines, etc. or you'll grind out the bottom of it quick
Maintenance is unbelievable and few places can repair it, so you wait and pay a lot. Plus nightmare stories about batteries dying at a high rate means you are getting jumped a lot. That second video he even had an optional 2nd battery to just start the car as an add-on.
I enjoyed the hell out of it.
In hindsight you can find some headscratchers but it didnt take away while I was watching it.
Got was so great through seasons 2-7, and this is starting to have that feel.
Even season 8 until the last couple went off the rails was pretty wild.
This new dragon riding princess chick is channelling the best parts of innocent baby stark red head girl, cerci lannister and danarys altogether right now
They are doing a good job of taking her from pampered princess to badass

This is why I'm bummed we're switching actresses so soon. She deserves more screen time.
Are they time jumping to a new actress? That' is too bad.
It is going to be very interesting to see how the time jump is received. Certainly going to miss this first cast.
I hope it doesn't kinda ruin the show for me. I'm already attached to the current cast.
I live the sympathy they are setting up for the king. The payoff here will be great when it presumably comes.
The fight scene didn't do a thing for me, but the other hour made up for it.
And the scene of him beating up the messenger was great. Was perfect on a story, cultural and character level.

Some people were mentioning the dragon(s) looking weird in HoTD.
Caraxes is unique in his appearance. He is slimmer than other dragons and has an elongated body compared to other dragons. His nickname is Blood Wyrm.
If you take a look at Sea Smoke, he has a similar body shape to GoT dragons. Also Syrax also is similar in body style to GoT dragons.

I can't be the only one that thought Caraxes' long neck was gonna come in useful in the first scene, right? He could've gotten in there and taken out a whole bunch of those dudes in the caves.
As another poster said, it definitely seems as if ways existed to smoke out those cavesBrian Earl Spilner said:

Has the show told us who all the Dragonriders are yet? Rhaenyra, Daemon, and Laenor we've seen - are any others confirmed? I'm assuming Rhaenys but I can't remember if that's official.
There's a nice official guide that updates things as they are revealed. It doesn't have any spoilers past the current last episode, so it's a great resource if you don't want to know what happens ahead of time.
This is the dragon page
https://www.hbo.com/house-of-the-dragon/dragon-index
Only Caraxes, Seasmoke, Syrax, and the dearly departed Balerion are on it so far, but there's room for at least 2 more just based on the basic layout of the page. It has some nice pictures of each saddle used as well.
Nice character guide here which shows the family tree for the Targs, Strongs, Verlaryons, and Hightowers along with the Kingsguard and Small Council Members we've met so far.

Glad they are doing the viewer guide website again like they did for GOT. It helps a lot with names, locations, and background info. Seasmoke's saddle looks like cuts/punctures waiting to happen with the scales and "handlebar" position
I loved the past episode.
I do think Daemon's dragon looks stupid every time I see it.

I'm sure Aegon will have a dragon, when they do the time jump.
I'm kind of expecting for Daemon to eventually kill Aegon. I just don't think he has it in him to kill his niece. The show hasn't really convinced me he's a psychopath.

The shadow of the dragon flying around on the map was a nice touch (and clickable to view the dragon index as well!).The Porkchop Express said:
