Jaehaerys' reign was one of the most boring parts of F&B to me. Too much stability. Aegon/Aenys/Maegor would have made for a cool 1-2 season miniseries though


GET YOUR SPOILERS OUT OF HERE ,WOOD PULP TRASH!

What do you mean? We're still in the prologue.
With Aegon the Conqueror.
So you're saying doing a show that covers the entire Targaryen dynasty, all 300 years?

I mean it could work, but that wasn't at all clear from your post.

How would you know that without knowing the story?
Your shtick of trying to call me out for everything lately is getting super old.

Ironically, I've been defending you on the spoiler thread today.

Aegon the Conqueror wouldn't be much of a show because every show would end with someone resisting the Targs and getting burned to ash for it.

A better show, if Martin would allow it, would be Old Valyrian families trying to escape the Doom, or something.

That would be great, because it's such a blank slate. I'd love even a flashback scene to the "Grandeur of Old Valyria".

But then everyone would accuse it of being "fan fiction".

Still stand by my assertion this is the best thing on tv in years. All the way around. Bravo HBO/GRRM.

I have to say after all the teeth gnashing around here, Emma D'Arcy is just perfect as Rhaenyra. She is magnetic when on the screen.

Agreed and I was one of the critical. This show has been awesome. Hope they can keep it up. In HotD, I trust!

I am not seeing it - her reactions all seem a bit off or understated… not bad but the show is being completely stolen by daemon and the king from an acting perspective imo.

what's the infatuation with incest by this guy?!

that's at least three different instances of it (Jaime/Ceirsie, Jon Snow and his sister, and now the uncle and his niece)

it's almost like watching a Woody Allen film about old schmuck dating hot young coeds in EVERY movie!

Don't ever look into the British royal family.

Don't ever look into the British royal family.
To be fair, while the royal houses in Europe went way further than you or I would ever want to, there weren't any straight up brother/sister marriages. In Britain there haven't been any uncle/niece marriages that I can think of.

But to put it into perspective, by the time WW1 broke out, the Heads of State of England, Germany and Russia were all first cousins.
