I’m happy to say that after not being that excited about this show until it started, I will definitely miss it until Season 2. I’ve really enjoyed it, and discovered some new actors as well as being impressed by ones I already knew (looking at you, Paddy.) Never thought I’d be an Aemond fan, go figure.
Well, I still need to watch the 9th episode first because I was away on business trip to Dusseldorf, Germany this last week and didn’t get a chance to watch it yet. So I’m hyped to see both of them!
The Black Queen is a good episode title!
I hope whatever happens in this episode changes Princess Rhaenyra to act in Season 2 more like she did in the first 5 episodes.
Looking forward to the finale of a solid, yet uneven season 1. I believe this episode will increase our craving for S2 as soon as possible.
I’m at a loss for words right now. This is definitely not how I imagined the finale. The only question I have now is, when are they going to have the second season begin?? Does anyone have any idea whatsoever?
Enjoyed this episode. Good tension, and I guess dragon size does matter! Looking forward to next season.
The strengths & weaknesses of both armies fleshed out in episodes 9-10. One controls the land & has the numerical numbers but the other controls the sea, supply lines & a tactical air superiority.. Season-2 should be fun..
The time jumps are unbearable. But none of that in season 2 hopefully. No time to build the characters
Bronn,
Yes, the time jumps and some poor casting choices weakened this first season.
Erinn,
2023. Yes, its too long for me to have to wait as well!
