I liked the premiere a lot. It was a good fast paced introduction.
Will be interesting to see the time jump.

The Kings Guard scene, I don't know if I caught it. Were all those people they were maiming actual criminals they knew about? Or were they just going around chopping off body parts indiscriminately to send a message to the peons?
Thanks for clarifying and correcting. At first I thought the City Watch was just doing no knock raids on all of kings landing. Then they started calling people rapists and thieves, and I wasn't sure if it was actually them just rounding up a bunch of prisoners or something.
Yeah it seemed like they were known, but it was still pretty sketchy with people just pointing and saying "you're a rapist: (cuts off balls), "you're a thief" (cuts off hand), etc.javajaws said:Definitely Not A Cop said:Charlie Conway said:That was the City Watch (gold cloaks) and yes, they were criminals and punished respectively to their crimes, arms for thieves and the rapist well, you knowDefinitely Not A Cop said:

Well I doubt those people had a trial or anything. I bet it was a case of known miscreants being called out and punished. And given their attitudes if it was debatable as to guilty or not they erred on the side of guilty.
Oh wow, good call. I also struggled trying to figure out where I had seen his face.CFTXAG10 said:It bugged the hell out of me where I knew him from so I had to stop mid-episode to find out he was Father Hughes in Peaky Blinders. I like his performance as Viserys so far.Sky Corrigan said:

I think he Poisoned the Iron Throne. That's why that sore on Viserys Back isn't healing. He also *****ed his hand again towards the end of the episode.redline248 said:

That and he'd have been de-horsed by the opposing lance before the opposing horse tripped over his lance. I thought that was stupid as well.Charlie Conway said:
My biggest complaint is that Daemon took out the horses legs with his lance, what, I don't know a lot about jousting but I can't believe that's allowable.

When Otto sent his daughter to "comfort" the king, are we supposed to assume that he is wanting her to get pregnant with an heir? It was right after the council meeting to discuss the heir. Seems like a good time to make a play. Am I reading too much in to this?

Targaryens were also family ****ers as well IIRC.
It was patterned after War of the Roses and the Brits had no prob chasing a sister nor cousin.

I call BS. Chart shows Drogon to be approx 5 horses and he was HUGE during the wagon train attack.
Those sizes are based on book descriptions.
My first thought would be that he is amazing at acting, because of everything you wrote.agracer said:That and he'd have been de-horsed by the opposing lance before the opposing horse tripped over his lance. I thought that was stupid as well.Charlie Conway said:

Maybe my dislike for the Smith casting is he instantly screams privileged, slime ball that we all love to hate. That and his acting seems forced.

So the exact character he's portraying? I'm confused.
