House of the Dragon - Episode I

I enjoyed the first episode.

The tournament was really well-done; it was the colorful pageant and disgusting spectacle of violence combo that we should have seen in the early King's Landing scenes in Game of Thrones season 1 (the tournament in Ned Stark's honor, where he brought Sansa, and Littlefinger met Sansa for the first time and very quickly showed his fascination for her).
Queen Aemma Arryn's fate drives home the precarious position of married women, even queens who could expect the best medical care in Westeros, facing childbirth.
The friendship of the teenaged Rhaenyra and Alicent is bittersweet, considering what will befall them in the future.
Dragons! We see dragons in flight as a fairly commonplace occurrence for Targaryens and for King's Landing - Rhaenyra taking a fun ride on her Syrax and Prince Daemon and his girlfriend/spy-advisor Mysaria flying away on his dragon Caraxes.
That prophecy of Ice and Fire certainly came out of left field, didn't it? Wonder if that was GRRM's way of sticking it to the showrunners of Game of Thrones, who pretty much ignored the prophecy and the birthright of Jon Snow...

With that being said, ouch. Some of the dialogue came across cringe worthy. Some of the effects seemed unfinished...maybe rushed. There was also some lack of humor that GRRM always peppered in.

Overall, decent first episode. They are setting the stage obviously, looking forward to see how things play out.

If it's ok, I would like to post an individual thread each week, per episode just to see how things unfold. I am hoping for the best.

 

Spoilers will most likely to be incoming.

So why did they tell the dude to go, but take a dragon with you?

He was exiled for insulting the king / his dead son. 

They didn’t tell him to take a dragon - but it’s Daemon, he’s kind of crazy and the dragon is his.

      I mean the interception injury he ran down that KB gave up on and the TJ Watt shoulder hit basically did Cam in. He could probably still launch a better 30 yarder off platform than BY

      Another, Another Bryce Breakdown

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I mean, Cam had the arm strength to make those throws without his feet set but it also was one of the factors that led to his arm getting destroyed over time. No QB needs to be making those off platform throws or without their feet being set often, because they are lower percentage throws(usually) and they are more difficult on your body overall. Bryce's physical limitations weren't a complete unknown. He is a moderately below average NFL arm even if his feet are set and he has time. That's not what will solely keep him from being successful. It definitely is a career limiting factor, however.
