Your burning need to tell lies is troubling.

HOTD is killing it in the ratings averaging 29 million viewers a week. To put that in persepective Yellowstone was the recent rating leader, considereda huge success and was pulling an average of 10 million viewers a week. HOTD could lose half their viewership and still lead the pack.

We are going to watching GOT shows for a while.

Remember when that retard @ELTEXAN said no one would watch this
 
Great episode tonight. Might be the best one so far.
 
Thumbs down.

That was waaaay too big of a time jump. Way too much shit and too many characters dumped on the audience all at once. How the fuck are you suppose to develop a connection with the audience when you're just rushing thru shit like that?

Not much happened during the time jump, and the time jump was absolutely necessary. The children are going to be main characters now. You can't tell much of a story with toddlers; the kids needed to be older for the story to progress.

We will get to know the new characters plenty well in the episodes to come.

Book-wise, yes. But the show doesn't have to track to the book (and it hasn't in some cases). From a story-telling standpoint as a TV show, they handled this very sloppily. Make something up. Fill in the details to give a connection and meaning to your audience. If you're just going to rush thru events because its prologue, don't bother doing prologue. Skip straight to the war and fill in the necessary prologue details with flashback scenes.

Skipping the prologue and going right into the civil war would make the problem you're complaining about -- too many characters dumped all on the audience at once -- even worse: we would then be meeting ALL these characters in the first episode.

Instead, we've had 5 episodes to introduce us first to Viserys, Rhaenyra, Daemon, and Alicent. And now we're going to get to know the next generation in the upcoming episodes.

I often watch these shows twice to make sure I’m following well. That will be an absolute this week.

It was challenging at points early in the show to get my feet under me. I knew the actors playing Alicent and Rhaenyra were changing, so that was an easy adjustment. The kids took a minute, but they ultimately quickly connected who the kids all were pretty easily to me.

I’m not sure what important events you saw them glossing over though. There isn’t much in the intervening 10 years of note, aside from all the children being born or getting older.

Yes, it was a little bit like whiplash at first. To go against that and slow roll some births was just going to open up to the show to criticism of puttering along.
 
Book readers..............is that how Laena died in the book?

I am curious about this too.

I thought since Velayrons could ride they were fire proof. I was wrong.

I don’t mind the time jump but there is a lot of back story I want.

How did Laena end up with dipshit?
Why does that one kid not have a dragon?
Why are Laena and dipshit traveling around?
Why didn’t Rhaenyra and the gay guy not just do the deed to produce kids?
Why does Rhaenyra feel she has to do the Queen’s bidding like screw off bitch?

It felt like a lot happened that we were just supposed to accept. This episode should have been two hours and they nailed down all questions.
