I’ve enjoyed this season a ton. The only negative I’ll say is that I think 10 episodes wasn’t enough. They did the best they could to get as much in as possible in a way that respects the overall story but, I think HBO’s insistence on a traditional 10 episode season really shortchanged them. I’m also not sure 4 seasons of 10 episodes will be enough to tell this story, either. There’s so much to cover and even the newer material adds more layers that will need to be explored. 40 episodes is cutting it close. I think 12 episodes in the last two seasons would probably do it. Doubt HBO would be opposed, either.

And from my understanding, episode 6 was the creators preference on where to start the show, thats why it felt like another pilot but GRRM said the first five episodes would be necessary to show the backstop going on.

That birth scene was f***ing nasty
That ending put in context how big a f***ing dragon can be. Some real Jurassic Park shit

As someone who didn't read the books I am interested in wanting to know the differences
Like everyone is bad but has their qualities. Rhaenerys has been positioned strongly as the wronged party even if we are supposed to feel something for Alicent

It’s interesting that they’re going with dragons being hard to control.
Most believe the Doom of Valyria came as a result of dragons and dragon magic gone amuck. Dany’s Dragons had to be caged because they were eating children. Good Queen Alysanne’s dragon refused to take her beyond the wall. I believe a dragon even flew one of its riders all the way across the world before the rider could get control of it.
Maybe not having such massive animals as weapons of war is a better idea.

As I was saying earlier, what a great contrast to show size difference {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}

It makes it believable in a fantasy series that these big motherf***ers only a few could even dare to ride still have major problems training and getting them to obey

I assumed as much. I figured with the show she is still supposed to be an antagonist to Rhaenrys but someone controlled by everyone wants and wishes except her own. Tho they have done this weird contrast where she tries to act like she's such a lady and then she out here doing a private show for little foot

Will be interesting to see what happens I don't expect them to diverge too far from material but continue to make quality of life changes

Storms End was a case of the Greens outplaying the Blacks.
A promise to a distant relative is nothing compared to a royal marriage pact. No matter what the Starks might say.

I also do like how it ties back to what Viserys said at the beginning in regards to the idea that they control the dragons is an illusion and it came back full circle here with both riders

Rhaenerys has been positioned strongly as the wronged party even if we are supposed to feel something for Alicent Aemond is a LOT more one dimensionally evil in the books. Viserys is almost completely different too. he's a nice man in the books but instead of wasting away to nothing he's morbidly obese and that's what kills him in the end. He's also a lot more passive.
