haha right but im talking about transitive property. The only common opponent they've faced, Aemond beat and Daemon did not. So it'd def be a fair match!
I'm sure the guy whose job it is to protect the royal family is actually trying to hit a prince with a weapon. No chance he was holding back.

Am I the only one here that could probably not name more than 2 characters of this show, yet love every episode and pay attention to every moment? It was similar for GoT. I just don't have a mind to store names and keep up with bloodlines. Most posts on this thread when names are mentioned, I have to reference to google to see what character is being talked about.

Maybe I have some name association disability but GoT has uniquely exploited it more than any other series/show.

How many episodes do we have left for this season? Last night would have been a great season finale.

2. Then the long night of no episodes for at least a year. Filming is not supposed to wrap until Summer 2023.

How many dragons does each side have now?

I'm counting 3 for the hightowers, 6 for Rhaenrya with Rhaenys joining their side? But the hightowers have the monster dragon.

Did they answer who took Laenor's this episode?

9.6 on IMDB and the highest rating of the season. Have to agree with that.

Right there with you. Whatever you do, don't venture into/admit as much in The Rings of Power thread. I'm getting all kinds of sh*t for not remembering the name of character who had, like, two scenes in a movie released 21 years ago.

So you really think he would have injured/killed a prince during training?

You don't survive 20 years in Kings Landing by being an idiot.

Leanor's dragon's fate is unknown at this time according to what the show has shown and told us.

Left up to the imagination at this time...

What? No, but it looked like they were sparring full speed. I'm sure both had control enough to pull back a blow that was certain to land (as Aemond did when he won). haha it's not a big deal either way. I was just saying Aemond is clearly a sick fighter now and Cole said as much (a knight who has won a tourney by besting Daemon)

you are getting too much crap for that, not everyone has to be a devotee, but there is a difference between the most iconic, foundational classic fantasy epic that has been a bestseller for eighty some odd years, versus a recent fairly relatively obscure show and books, which frankly is secondary to the main bestseller.

that said, i can't follow who all these people are or remember their names and i am enjoying this show.

Haha doesn't help when half the characters' names are recycled 2 or 3 times. We've got now like...4 Aegon's in the GoT/HotD universe now? lol

Come on now. He had a couple of scenes, yes, but one of the biggest plot points of the series was Aragorn being Isildur's heir, and therefore the rightful King of Gondor, and it's the entire reason Aragorn was able to command the army of the dead, and he was the reason the War of the Ring was happening at all, because he refused to destroy it when Elrond led him into Mount Doom. They showed him take possession of the ring at the very beginning of the FotR and mentioned him throughout the entire series of films. If you didn't remember that you just weren't paying enough attention.

Sorry for derail.

Princess Rhaenys is one of my favorite minor characters. She is amazingly shrewd. Last week, she was ticked at her husband for keeping one of the Strong-boys are heir to Driftmark (and he replied with the best line so far "history doesn't remember blood, it remembers names" ) and this week she's pulling a quick-change on betrothals.

That is why I will forever be grateful and rooting for Luke and Jace. For no other reason than the fact they have singularly unique names that sound nothing like any other characters lol

When Jace was toasting to Aegon and Aemond, he should've said "As men, I hope we can see eye to eye".

My wife's side of the family has a big trend of naming kids after aunts, uncles, grandma, etc. Passing out presents at Christmas is kind of a clusterF

Daemon absolutely did beat Cole, he just didn't finish him off and turned around to start showboating, so Cole was able to get up and blast Daemon in the back with the morningstar.

Daemon should've forced Cole to yield, or driven a sword through his throat if he wouldn't, but he didn't. But they fought hand to hand and Daemon put Cole on the ground and had him beaten. And not by way of a sucker punch.

True. I'm just saying Daemon fighting Aemond wouldn't have the forgone conclusion i think some here would expect based on what we've seen him do in the training grounds against a guy who did win a tournament by beating a host of knights (including Daemon; dirty or not).

I sure would like to know how Cole would have held up if Aemond made a mistake and was about to get cracked in the skull. Flail doesn't have the kind of stopping power that a sword does.

Oh, and Luke and Jace are only nicknames. Lucerys and Jacerys are the real names, thankfully barely ever used.

I actually chuckled at myself for being defensive about Daemon being besmirched.

He's by far my favorite character, and watching Vaemond's head go flying off was outstanding.

Great episode. May rewatch - what were his last words?

Did i get it that he thought he was telling his daughter she had to have the heirs to unite, but was actually talking to his wife - and his wife didn't realize the mistake?
Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra and was telling her that Aegon I's dream (the Song of Ice & Fire prophecy, ) has to come to fruition. Viserys believes that Rhaenyra has to succeed him for that to come true.

Alicent thought he was rambling about her son, Aegon II, and mistook that as him saying he wanted him to be his successor.

Relive the best scene in Ep. 8! I had chills when they announced the king. Also the music in the background is pretty epic!

Also... as if anyone can forget from GOT...

John Snow's TRUE name is Aegon Targaryen, hence completing the "Song of Ice and Fire".

Aemond is breaking the long-standing GoT trend of noble second-born sons who underperform expectations (I know Bran got named king, but bleah anyways)
