Was really looking forward to this season, but this first episode was really mediocre. Little happened in the ep until the end. We didn't get to see how the Greens initially reacted to Aemond informing them about Lucerys, which is something I think a lot of watchers were looking forward to, instead just moving forward in time past that.
The way Blood and Cheese were presented in the book, they felt like competent and ultra dangerous assassins, whereas in this TV episode, it was more like they were bumbling goons who got lucky. Helaena also rolled over real quick and way too easily compared to the much more brutal way the scene is presented in the book.

I agree.
they started it just how season 2 should have started. To think they didn't do it right is silly.

Doesn't help that half of them have the same names as Targaryens from the original series too.
Good episode overall though.

That was a real intense ending scene there.

I am aware...I haven't read that one as it feels to just be a history type book and I really have no interest there...I can just read Wikipedia.
my comment on Dance with Dragons is not related to the current show

What does that even look like? No storyline? Just facts and figures?

basically.
x is married to y, they have 3 kids...
some detail as to how some things went down, but not told as a story.
most like a textbook
What @ill said.
It's basically a historical timeline going back to Aegon the Conqueror and stretching to the present (I think in that book the "present" is basically Robert's Rebellion).
Some factiods, history of internal struggles within the family tree, etc.
It gives details on war, deaths, etc, but as far as building a show off that material it gives the foundations of the storyline but doesn't give much in the way of character building, motives, etc. If the showrunners are good (and not D&D), then they can make a hell of a show out of it, particularly the Dance of Dragons section which Hot D is based off.
