I really liked it. Yes I know whats going to happen, yes there are things that happened that I don't like that they did but its definitely got the special effects budget and I have at least confidence that the entire story of the show is going to be adaptable.
I hate what the show runners did with the show but it was really good while they had the story already out there written in great detail for them. that being said
Could we avoid talking about the book, there is a separated thread for that. Spoiler tags are for the newest released episode.
I've never actually read the book but this brings up another conversation.
Its a prequel show so we have knowledge of what comes a couple of hundred years later. Do we keep all speculation about the future of the series in regards to the original game of thrones show out of this thread and in the other thread? Does spoilers come when we talk about Hotd book spoilers or soiaf book spoilers?

Direct HOTD book spoilers I would like spoilered and tagged at the very least.

We're in a vague area now. Not all of this is written in the books. Might have to make some changes to the thread again to see what has to spoiled again.

+ Show Spoiler [HoTD - 02] +Dang Miss Underbite got spunk!
The marriage proposal "twist" was something everyone saw coming a mile away. Execution was lel.
Was Daemon and Corlys' convo the birth of the Second Sons? Thats coo
Third ep preview looked sick. Fuck damn.

That was a great second episode. The marriage twist was way too obvious though. Seeing the crabs eating that man alive was horrific for the brief time it was on screen. Lots of establishing future plot points, further establishing of character relationships, and exploring the political world of Westeros in this time period. Lord Corlys is one of my favorite characters so far. He's a goal-oriented man of action. I like Rhaenyra quite a lot, but I wonder how much her blunt approach and seeming distaste for politics (like with the Kingsguard scene) will come back to bite her. The damaged relationship between Alicent, Rhaenyra, and King Viserys and the alliance between Lord Corlys and Daemon has me excited for episode 3.

I think we can treat things said in the original show to not be spoilers because they can very easily change things under the license of "People forgot things over times or remembered events wrong"
+ Show Spoiler [HotD S1E2] +Loved it a lot. Matt Smith is killing it. Milly Alcock is a star. Steve Toussaint is the pivot point of the $30 million an-episode show that frees everyone else to do what they want. Didn't notice the dragons are designed around different animal sounds for their roars. Episode three looks incredible.
They're moving a lot faster than what Got did during season 1 and they don't have anyone like the cleganes but it does look like they know how to push past when things get boring in order for events to actually happen. There is Pace that you don't see much of.

Not the best ep to watch with your family.
