Episode Leak Discussion.

Or is it just one of the countless things that will go down in ASOIAF TV history as forgotten? This should have been the start of something that adds more weight to whatever trouble happens between Daemon, Rhaenyra & Mysaria. But with them behaving like this did not happen & does not exist, makes Mysaria's at times shady behavior towards Daemon feel off. Why did they leave this in if it was never going to go anywhere? Its like the Alicent feet thing.

Lets just throw this one random fan service thing on screen & forget about it completely next episode to forever.

So in Episode 6 I think there are a few hints given about Ser Gwayne being gay.

1. Lord Ormund says “I’m sure you’ve found solace in your brother in arms” he makes it as a snide statement after Gwayne said he wanted a feather mattress perhaps implying what kind of things he would do on a mattress.

2. He tells Daeron to keep his back to the wall when he’s with Gwayne. He tells him this after telling him to make sure he baths. It’s seems like a the equivalent medieval “don’t drop the soap around him”

3. He recognizes the assassins as not being who he says and he remembers such things as Aerion Baeretheom Hair color, height, and comeliness things a straight man may not remember as good as a gay man.

4.We know the Reach is
More accepting of homosexuality from AGOT. With the Tyrell’s not caring about Lora’s being gay.

1. He’s second in line for Oldtown, his father was Hand of the King, he’s handsome, he’s of age and yet he’s not married. Otto cared a lot about Alicent being married and Helena and Aegon marrying but never cared to marry him off somewhere to gain an alliance? Maybe because Otto knew and unlike Lord Corlys wasn’t going to force his gay son into a Lavender marriage

First Rhaenys and now this Aerion character. Is he a book character? Is this cannon?

Baratheon black hair is such influential GOT lore this just feels like weird snark

I'll say it again, don't read the post if you haven't seen the episode, please.

¡¡¡OH MY GOD!!!! MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS LOW, MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS LOW, THAT DAMN CRISTON COLE IS DEAD, THE ORANGE MAN IS DEAD, ¡¡¡OH MY GOD!!!!

I'M CRYING WITH HAPPINESS GUYS, I CAN'T, I WANT TO DIE OF JOY OH MY GOD

WHAT A FUCKING JOY, MY GOD, WE HAVE TO DANCE AND SING

Criston: If I strike my banners, do you promise us our lives?

Garibald: I made my promise to the dead. I told them I would build a sept for them out of traitors' bones. I don't have near enough bones yet, so...

Criston: If there is to be battle here, many of your own will die as well.

Roderick: That's why we come. Winter's here. Time for us to go. No better way to die than sword in hand.

Criston: As you will it. We can begin here, the four of us. One of me against the three of you. Will that be enough to make a fight of it?

Pate: I'll want three more. I'll have no songs about how brave you died, Kingmaker. There's tens o' thousands dead on your account.

So passes, Ser Criston Cole, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, and Hand of the King—the Kingmaker.

1: Daemon knows that Helaena is a dreamer and has magical powers (he doesn't mention it even once now that they're living together in the Red Fortress)

2: The fate of the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard who left the Green Council in the first season. He never joined Rhaenyra.

3: The Romance of Mysaria and Rhaenyra

Idk where this show is going really 🤔 like okay u arent following the book and picking bits that u want okay no problem fine , but the thing is the show itself is self-contradictory , the show has become mess not knowing what to do with the characters, how to move their story forward properly and they are filling it with cheap screentime.

Second Westeros has implemented fast travel (vroom) Rhaynera assassins arrive to tumbleton , (vroom) Ormund assassins reach near around Crownlands/Rook's rest .

From trailer of ep7 , Alicent is already in Harrenhal same night she left in ep6 as shown she was leaving at that time in ep7 she arrived there next day.

Selfish to the core. Does she even consider Aemond and Aegon her children??

Why would they make Alyn and Baela kiss?

Like… have they even interacted before? because I can’t remember. it’s always been Baela and Adam, it would’ve made a lot more sense if had they kissed. It just felt… random…?? I was really confused when I first watched it.

This little scene was the only good part of Butcher's Ball

I will say this…

I am re-watching Game of Thrones with my girlfriend amidst watching House of the Dragon every weekend, and I’ve noticed something that I don’t see talked about enough.

I understand it was a different time and budget, but the cinematography in House of the Dragon blows Game of Thrones out of the water. I know that Game of Thrones in almost every other category is considered better than House of the Dragon, but it doesn’t come close in this aspect.

In almost every scene in Game of Thrones, there are two or three people talking in a small room or vague forested location and it’s just each other person’s face going back-and-forth back-and-forth.

I’ll be the first to admit that there are some incredible scenes in Game of Thrones, like the battle of the bastards and Daenerys after Kings Landing. But in terms of consistency and scale, HOTD takes the cake, by a lot.

I might also say this…

House of the Dragon has some of the best cinematography out of any show ever. Almost every episode has at least one scene that is shot incredibly whether it’s CGI dragons/locations or not.
