In the youtube reaction I think the word you're both looking for is pitiful, but know exactly what you mean when you call them pathetic. Can't wait to see what the rest of the season has to offer considering we've started off with Blood and Cheese, really hoping there are no Rhaenys bursts through the floor moments like last season

In the books, dragons can apparently change their sex -- "as changeable as flame," according to one character -- but it's all very mysterious.

Some other people have mentioned it, but you guys should definitely watch Gen V before you watch The Boys S4

Here is the book version of blood and cheese at the end of the episode. It’s much worse https://youtu.be/ihQRKcs_xTQ?si=NTgPqoClMhNaohnX

I was as happy as you girls when I recognize it's the Starks and Winterfell and I was expecting it . I think you will like Cregan Stark and I will leave it at that .

You should be happy it want the book version of Blood and Cheese. In the books everything is described and showed when they kill the son. She also points at the other son (she has another one not shown in the show in the books) in hopes that they would kill the youngest one and not the heir. In the show it seems she pointed at the heir in hopes they wouldn’t believe her.

Fun fact since I don’t know how the show will represent her reaction but Rhaenyra in the books was while not ordering his dead specifically was rather okay with Aegon’s sons death. Both sides in the book are more sinister and are okay with way more horrible shit to put it lightly lol. I like the show too but imo the show made it too much of a good vs evil narrative. Non spoiler video I highly suggest watching which gives info on this first episode and can expand your knowledge. I promise it’s safe to watch. https://youtu.be/YxsznRf4xwM?si=nKVy5KdV6Jjq8EX6

no, daemon said a son for a son in his first scene. we then see blood say the same line. daemon ordered it.

Hated what they did with cole's character, but this is only the first episode, they might explain wtf that was other than that the episode was great.

i think rhaenyra spoke a total of 4 words the entire ep and yet they still carried the emotional weight of the ep. (also its my birthday today and i didnt expect hotd being the 1st slot this week so thanks🫡)

At 12:05 ish you are 100000% correct. As a diehard book reader myself I haven’t had that many issues with the show tbh and it’s been very good even when taking its liberties from the book. But that scene when Rhaenys came up and killed a bunch of innocent people except the king who usurped the rightful Queen (Aegon is also not as comically evil he was made to be in s1 so far s2 has depicted him more accurate to the book since he wants to be a liked king as you see in the episode) just to have a girl boss moment was truly the lowest part of the show. Only thing out of very few things I have massive complaints about tbh. In the books that didn’t happen to my memory and also Aegon’s dragon sunfyre (extremely beatify dragon not yet seen in the show) was at his coronation and would have attacked Rhaenys immediately if sunfyre attended the coronation in the show.

The Rhaenys thing is true, but from what I remember the stuff about Aegon in s1 was in the book as well. If anything, they toned down some of what the book says about him (though the whole thing is full of unreliable narration, so it's hard to say how true everything is). I don't think they've changed his characterization, it's just that even awful people are multifaceted. He can be an awful person and still want to be a good ruler.

Jace actor is the same one from episode 8 and forward from last season just saying.
