The implication was that Rhaenys knows that Corlys has bastards from his seafaring days and she's come to some sort of peace with it. The younger brother also mentioned that Corlys owed them both. At first I couldn't tell if Corlys knew they were his sons or not, but it seems like he does and was keeping it quiet so it didn't embarrass Rhaenys.
My question was rhetorical btw, but yes, I don't know where he's headed :3
Ngl until this episode spelled it out I was not paying much attention to those scenes beyond finding it neat Salim is in Hot D
Got it! Thanks for the clarification!
Coryls' brother went bowling on the floor of the throne room.
That was a very exciting and expensive looking episode, hope that doesn't mean the rest of the series will be in dark candle lit rooms like the 1st few episodes have been.

No, they talking about the bald dude who seems to be Corlys' bastard possibly having a brother.

Loved the entire episode.
Rhaenys will be missed as well. That fucker Vhegar though? needs to go lol.

It seems like in this universe, they don't invent jack shit ever.
It's never made sense to me that the level of tech just stays the same no matter how many years go by. Whether it's the time of Aegon the Conqueror, or 200 years later in the time of Rhaenera, or 100 more years after that in the time of GoT, they're just forever stuck in 1600. Nobody ever invents a condom, a light bulb or a firearm. It's just pre-industrial forever. I guess that's what happens when the seasonal cycle lasts 20 years and there's rarely an extended period of peace.
Is it just me or did "Vhagar coming up from below" already feel a little played out in this? Guess there's only so much you can do with dragons fighting eachother.
I absolutely loathe dreams and visions in shows/movies. Hate it so much.

Rhaenys strapped in the seatbelt before going back in, she knew she was ride or die with her dragon at that point lol.
Loved the episode. The only thing that really bothered me was cheap sneak attack by Vhagar. After an amazing initial brawl I expected Melys/Rhaenys to go out fighting and not just caught by surprise. They deserved better.
She thought he looked similar to someone she knows really well……..
You are correct, it's why she was like seriously? Raise them up you idiot we all know.
Yep. I hate this kind of writing. Aegon somehow not dead after that is some real nonsensical stuff

Just an FYI folks Alyn is the same man who voiced Bayek in AC Origins!
Still taking it in.
That was peak GOT quality if not more.
Superb direction and pacing all the way right up to the end.
10/10.
So happy we've got this back!

What an absolutely phenomenal episode. HotD has surpassed the OG GoT thrones for me. I much prefer the characters and plot.
That's who I'm talking about. Like the fact he's not dead dead at the end of the episode was frankly eye rolling.
Calling that plot armor when the choices are either him being dead or being physically unfit to rule (which the remaining characters will take advantage of either way), on top of him having lost his dragon, hardly makes sense
Plot armor would be like if he was largely unscathed, which is certainly not the case
Dusts himself off at the start of the episode. "Whew, that was close! Totalled my ride! Can I get a ride home, bro?"
I guess my read of that last scene wasn't very generous and I'll be okay if he croaks afterwards, but that scene gave me whiplash because I had already written him off tbh.
Shoves his entrails back into his body
"Huh, how'd that get out there? Anyway…"
Did you miss Cole stopping Aemond from putting him out of his misery?
Oh man I hope he gets more screen time.
AC Origins was a massive surprise to me mainly because of his amazing voicework and the writing. I know people loved Odyssey but the story and the protagonist in Origins had no right to be that good.
No spoiler policy yet everyone comments on the preview that isn't shown outside the US. Thanks everyone.
Excellent episode though, knew it would be a great one with Taylor directing.

Yeah. I know it's not in the rules, but if people could tag that stuff in future I'd really appreciate it.

Uhm, not sure how to handle previews. Spoiler tagging seems to be the sensible thing I guess?
There was a little discussion about this in the official pod. Alan Taylor (episode director) praised the propmaster for coming up with the design and implementation of that. Basically wanted it to reflect that it was go time.
This isn't strictly a book or a show thing, but I believe GRRM has said in the past that he imagines that gunpowder isn't possible in the world he wrote for whatever reason. Gunpowder accelerated our own technological advancement and because of its absence (combined with having magic and dragons to help take care of more of what was needed for hundreds of years) things just stalled.
great episode, finally some good fuckin dragon action! the Luigi's Mansion arc is weird but hopefully going somewhere
dragons are definitely not like dogs, no loyalties or fucks given ☹️ they are basically giant cats, right

100% spoiler tagging. You've got folks in here revealing the fate of a character and squashing speculation.
