Good ass episode. They really did a nice job of building the tension. And god forbid have some subtlety. Even though the dress thing was a bit bash over the head, but whatever. It was good.
Spoiler!
And I have to feel bad for Viserys. Early on he was bumbling a bit. But here he is making sound decisions, being a leader, doing the right shit, and every time he does, it goes to shit.
But it's getting interesting. The back a forth between houses is taking shape and building up conflict.
Didn't read the book. Don' know how it's going to go, but it is an interesting story.
I still can't get over how bad the carriages look though. Takes me out of it every time.
Viserys is more washed the Russ Wilson at this point. I feel bad for the guy. He's the king but it seems like no one respects him anymore. [Reply]

Viserys is holding on like that Christmas fruitcake that one aunt always brings every year.
I've not read Fire and Blood, but I'd be more shocked if Alicent DIDN'T kill her husband at this point. [Reply]
I just read a few spoilers from the books and, apparently, everybody dies. Fun episode though. I enjoyed it. It's always interesting to see how a show handles the visuals of someone being beaten to death. [Reply]
The fifth episode of the “Game of Thrones” prequel drew 3% more U.S. viewers than Episode 4, Variety has learned exclusively.
Additionally, Season 1 is now averaging 29 million viewers per episode across its first five episodes. That’s a massive audience for any premium cable series, and a very promising sign that it’s going the way of its predecessor: “Game of Thrones” averaged more than 44 million viewers per episode for its eighth and final season in 2019.

HoD writing is vastly superior
Shit writing, props/armor, real sets vs CGI, level of violence/mature themes.
Load of problems amazon has with ROP that probably would have been ignored by casual viewers if they weren't going H2H with The Princess and the Queen. IMHO. [Reply]
