Pretty sure Viserys is doomed, whether it’s the scabs or something else. Rhaenyra is my new fave. I’m kinda sad she grows up because I love the actor. Also I missed all the references to the missing dragon! LOL. Such a funny image.

Viserys is going to get killed six ways to Sunday, or whatever the phrase is! So true.

We are SO team Rhaenyra!!! I am so sad about her growing up and VERY curious if the new actor will grip us in the same way. I'm sure she will, but change is hard.

If these references to the dragon on the coast don't get payed out later, Ima be so mad. Chekhov's gun but a dragon.

THIS IS PERFECT. I would rank this exactly like this!!! (CRABS HAHAHAHA πŸ’― ... but also ... πŸ˜¬πŸ¦€πŸ™ˆ) Except I'd bring Otto Hightower down to #8 because I JUST CANNOT. The only one lower would have to be King Viserys. I get that, for these first two episodes, this dud probably is higher in the power rankings, but like, IS HE REALLY??? He is barely hanging in there by his toenails. Daemon is gonna have no trouble flicking him off the ledge soon enough.

I am such a huge Rhaenyra fan right now. She is waaaaaaaaaay more BA than Daenerys was at the beginning (AND at the end?!). But that doesn't look good for her trajectory. 😬 Also, Ser Criston, I AM A FAN, but again -- will we simply end with some kind of violence/stabbing betwixt Rhaenyra and Ser Criston because this is way tooo resemblant of Daenerys and John Snow?!

Also, SO MANY QUOTABLE LINES in this that made me laugh OUT LOUD literally. "...who’s just out here taking child brides and getting gangrene??" Oh, SNAP, called out, Viserys!!

YESSSS!!!!!! So glad I made the right rankings!!! haha. It was SUFFERING to put Otto Hightower as high on the list as he is, much like watching Littlefinger be gross and win all the damn time. But journalism demands honest. (ha. ha.) I hope Daemon flicks him!!!

Yeah I'm very curious if Rhaeny is going to have a similar trajectory to Daeny, like the mad king spiral. I hope not. That would feel so..."done before." You are so right about the semblance to Daeny and Jon? Uh-oh.
