No. We did not.

That tiny pier they shoved Laena's coffin from is pretty impractical for a funeral compared to a ship; coffins should be sticking out of the water

Fantastic episode. Dragon claiming felt a touch Harry Potter-esque but everything else just worked perfectly. The framing and movement of the characters in the funeral scene is the best thing they’ve done.

Yeah, that was a very good episode from top to bottom. I just carry the mild frustration with how fast they’re moving. This stuff would have even more of an impact had it come in a second season.

Beautifully done. Sets up all that’s to come quite perfectly.
Fuck me Damon is a devious bastard though isn’t he? The way he got rid of the two gay lads was brilliant.

Kind of expected Viserys to be a little more pissed about his daughter getting sliced up. "tHiS MeEtInG iS aDjOuRnED!" -- Really? That's it? Pfft.

Alicent deciding to push Aegon's claim because she misunderstood a story the king was telling is certainly a choice!

I was extremely moved by the last ride of Viserys I sitting the throne
