Did anyone else notice the little Easter egg in the Ormund intro?


Nope. What was it?

Man, that thing was all over the place.

And was the Aemond-Alicent thing just shock value or what? I mean…we've gone siblings, cousins, nieces/uncles, and now mom and son?!?

Agreed. And it's making me dislike the show.

This episode was grand and action packed, but also full of head-scratching character decisions.

I think he's referring to the Dragon that was shown.

It's interesting to me that some of you cannot see the difference in an old dragon Vs a young dragon being kind of important. Also dragons that are battle tested. Anyway, I think many just look for reasons to not like a show now a days.

The dragon belongs to Alicent's youngest son Daeron. Daeron is presumably in that scene.

I'm not. I wont say anything because it'd be a major spoiler. But if you pay attention to casting you'd know.

How dumb. Just tell them what you think you saw.

He's saying the squire Daeron Targaryen is shown as its the same actor cast as Link in Zelda

Well ok then yea.

The red head squire behind him is Daeron

You let the cat out the bag

It's not confirmed but that actor is way too prominent and talented to just be playing a random squire

Is that the guy Ormund orders to take the courier for a bath?

Yes

And was the blue dragon not his?

It is his, Tessarion

And I wouldn't call it an easter egg.

Aemond already set the expectation that Daeron was on the way to KL with the Oldtown army when he told Alicent as much in the throne room.

The army camp scene: Dragon present. Conspicuous green-wearing auburn-haired dude present.

Lol. This show has had its fair share of very obvious flaws. Don't act like the people criticizing it are just being too nitpicky.

I already pointed out that there were missed shots that occurred on the show so they are nitpicking stuff that is not happening. If you have to make up stuff to be able to nitpick that is telling.

I guess they want everything to be like storm troopers that never hit their target.

Good call - I thought this was an immediate payoff for tons of establishing work done during S1 and S2 about the needs to train the dragons and their rider, to work on battle symbiosis, and to be deeply strategic when deciding how many (and which) dragons to send for any event.

The lack of control, discipline, coordination, and tactics really showed how much they can get in each others' ways and neutralize the advantage of having them.

Also from an engineering standpoint there's no WAY those scorpions would be launchable from ships with enough energy to carry the grapnels over that distance and elevation, dragging all of that rope behind them, and arrive at the dragon with enough energy left to pierce their skin - even if they could be fired as accurately as HOTD showed.

Accurate AF. Probably posted somewhere on this board before but still relevant.

If you're going to start questioning physics in high fantasy, then you'll have a long list of issues to get past.

How DARE you suggest a genderwashed character with barely 20 minutes of airtime in the entire series is not fit to fire a scorpion at a dragon!

How misogynistic of you!

I wonder if this is the same green man that Daemon saw before his vision at Harrenhal last season

The three rookies were waiting on the Isle of Faces (which shouldn't be considered a spoiler). It is where the Children of the Forest and the First Men signed their pact to stop fighting. Anything beyond that y'all can search about what they saw before Alys appeared

Yeah that looks like a satyr so a green man/fairy. Will be interesting to see if they flesh it out at all.

Overall I liked this ep than just about all of last year. I actually liked the chase scene with the boats and the boat battles.

Is the 2nd time we were supposed to think the Sea Snake was dead? Although, how they find him is beyond me.

Oh yeah, now wonder the Lannisters and Starks hate each other
