Season 2 was locked in almost immediately and they're hoping for at least 3-4 seasons.

I understand this POV, for sure, but if they were moving that slowly, we'd be looking at 6-7 seasons of this show, at a minimum. Not a bad thing per se, but I've heard the goal of 5 seasons thrown around (not anything official, just rumblings in the industry) which HBO probably wants so they can move onto the next project more quickly.

I don't really want 1-2 seasons with kid actors. The time jumps make sense to me given the budget and everything else.

I don’t care about what goes on at court during peacetime for 15 years tbh. I guess I would appreciate developing the Harwin Strong relationship, Daemon and Laena’s marriage.

For me it was when Daemon came to help him up the steps.
Have yet to see a credible source say this, but apparently the crown falling wasn’t intentional, but Matt Smith and Paddy went with it

I read the same thing. Seems a little too good to be true.

If the next episode starts with him getting out of bed, I will laugh. Also think he died this time.
Very cool episode.

Not just one spontaneous take, but the crown was originally not supposed to fall off, and… the link explains the details well.

I saw a reddit thread theorizing about whether or not Daeron was going to be in the show, but I don't think this quote was in there. This sounds like they're planning to have him enter the story later on.

Is there a prophecy for Viserys?
Additionally, one just died.
