this scene

Rhaena, whom we’ve only seen briefly — she’s the sister of Baela and Daemon’s daughter from his previous marriage — wanders off from her caravan outside the Eyrie to investigate the dragon burnings nearby.

whats going on?

She doesn’t have a dragon and has wanted one her whole short life.
There is a wild dragon in that area. You see the burned patches where it’s fried and eaten some livestock. You see her going to it once or twice.

She’s gone to try and find and claim the dragon


The dragon is called sheep stealer it seems. And it’s a big mean bastard. It is in the trailer briefly for the final episode.

[psychobain]

there are wild dragons? dragons just roaming the world?
WOW

Hold on a sec—was there a scene missing this season? I’m halfway through watching the finale now, so spoilers…but how did Gwain find out that Cole was sleeping with Alicent? Am I forgetting something? Or did he just figure it out from how morose Cole was when Alicent didn’t wish him goodbye?

He was sniffing her boob sweat napkin

What kind of pirate captain has perfect teeth?

[Simple Torture]

Mecca, you don’t think

Spoiler: show

Sunfyre is really dead, right? For a second I thought they had committed to changing that part of the story, but there’s no way.

All those Daeron-heads are gonna “Enhance…enhance” that one quick shot of his dragon.

I was kind of surprised where the season ended, because it sure seems like Season 3 is going to contain, at a bare minimum:

Spoiler: show

The Fall of King’s Landing, the first Battle of Tumbleton, and the Battle of the Gullet. The Gods’ Eye probably comes in Season 4. Seeds were laid for all of these in this episode.

This is true, but it didn’t strike me as enough of a “gotcha” moment for Gwain to put a sword to his throat in front of their men. Spider gonna Spider.

There were parts of this that felt like a mid-budget Syfy fantasy series. There were certainly some good parts but I’m not sure this show has proven itself capable of reaching the highs of GoT.

Also, it needs to be 10 episodes per season.

[Ello Sailor]

Dreadful finale. These show runners are tripping balls.

[dimejinky99]

That was going pretty well, then kinda abruptly ends?

terrible way to end a season..this needed at least one more episode

[Simple Torture]

HOTD ordered that Night King off Temu.

In all seriousness, only a little bit spoiler-y:

Spoiler: show

Brynden Rivers (aka Bloodraven, aka the Three Eyes Raven, aka the guy in the tree beyond the Wall in GOT, aka the blotchy guy in Daemon’s vision) is a direct descendent of Daemon, his great-grandson I think, so he’s got a bit of that green sight in him, probably. Since HOTD has been working so hard to weave GOT into the show, they might even be suggesting that Daemon’s time at Harrenhal connected him and his descendants to the tree network, but that’s a stretch.

While I’m sure you’re right, that doesn’t mean the show doesn’t want us to make this connection.

Also, Mecca can check my work, but by my accounting, Daemon is Dany’s great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather (officially, there may be some contested parentage along the way).

why would an off the charts narcissist like daemon give a shit about what happens to mankind hundreds of years later?

He went on a ayahuasca retreat instead of reporting to rhaenyra’s training camp
