I was iffy about his casting but (as my husband never lets me forget) I was famously wrong about Heath Ledger's Joker casting, so I'm always open to giving an actor a fair shot - and boy, oh boy, did I change my mine almost immediately. He's charismatic, charming, cunning, and a little goading shit head... Smith brought him to life with zero flaws in my book, so far. Absolutely perfect! He's also my favorite character!!

Daemon in the book is described as being both loved and hated in equal measure. If you are with him he inspires great devotion and loyalty.... and if you're his enemy as equal hate and fear. So far Matt Smith plays it perfectly. I also like paddy Constantines king Viserys. He's slightly different from the book. He's more of a tragic character in this, a good person but weak king. The crown sits heavy on his head. So far it seems they have done a great job casting all the characters.

Fire & Blood is an unreliable narrative from a maester & jester. GRRM has confirmed that the show - which he is heavily involved in - is the actual history as told by those involved. All that to say, just because the book says Aemma died when Rhaenyra was five, doesn’t mean she actually did. Just like we can only make our best guesses at what happened in our own world history when there aren’t too many records.

I was on the fence purely because I was worried that the hate of s7 and 8 would impact the show itself. But as more details were released like Matt Smith and the books being used for the show already being finished by GRRM I was slowly getting excited. But this episode erased any doubts I had. I just hope they keep the show going forward at or above this level of intensity. I guess part of my worry was that I'm still salty over how Daenerys ended and what with this being her ancestors it kinda feels sad knowing what happens eventually.

Now how the showrunners will execute the story is still a mystery, but the script is finished. Also having actors like Matt Smith who is faithful to Martin is a great start. The pilot was dark and gritty as hell like it's supposed to be, I'm curious to see how it will work in film.

It also helps that GRRM has complete control over this series down to his handpicked showrunners, Condal and Sapochnik who know this stuff inside and out. I have complete faith just knowing that GRRM will not let this go crazy. From what I heard, they might do a different period in Targaryen history after 3 or 4 seasons. This series should be fun.

Catch that Daemon did admit to saying 'heir for a day' but we don't see how it was said. The scene cuts away. He also looked remorseful. Perhaps the comment was taken out of context.

But explicitly showing a group of midwives and maesters holding down a woman and forcibly cutting open her womb and ripping her baby out while her loving husband refuses to listen to her and tell her what's going on, harrowing screams and all?

"Horrible saga"?? Saga? Like what? He has a PHENOMENAL standing with TV series, that not many actors have. He's the 11th Doctor, the ONLY doctor with a BAFTA nomination. His portrayal is also one of the most famous internationally. The Crown is a critically acclaimed series, also gaining him an Emmy nomination. He was just in an Edgar Wright Film, Last Night In Soho, last year. Next September he will be with Ralph Fiennes and Jessica Chastain. He does more indie films. Morbius is just one bad call. He already has The Doctor and Prince Philip in his resumé, he can get away with anything. Daemon is another iconic character for his already iconic TV resumé.

Fascinating how people get different views based on the same content. I didn’t see Daemon as the villain. He seemed the most honest. What he said to the king was right - all the council do think the king is weak and are manipulating him. Plus he does seem to care about his family. That being said my favourite character in GoT was Jaime Lannister so I clearly like the complicated ones! Mind you, I went off the king the moment he didn’t even think his wife deserved to know she was about to die. No choice over what happens to her body. I won’t be crying for him when he dies, which seems inevitable.

So on the Inside The Episode feature the show runners said that even though Daemon is murderous bastard and an all around prick that he genuinely does love and care for his brother and his niece. Which I did see. Yeah he want the Iron Throne more than anything but I think deep down he doesn’t want it if it means the cost of his brothers life. Also as much as I disliked the cutting between the scenes of the tourney and the birthing I understand why they did that. Emma said that giving birth is a battle, and she was right.

He enjoys the clout as Prince/heir but doesn't necessarily vie for the absolute power of it.

Everything about this first episode from the birth scene all the way to Viserys's speech to Rhaenyra was a sight to behold (which his speech gave me chills down my spine, combined with the music just struck a chord with me). So far I really love Paddy Considine as Viserys you can telI he wants to be a good king and an even better patriarch for his family but he's struggling to do both and he has the potential to do it but like Daemon said he is creating his own downfall in some aspects, he inherited the throne from the previous king who had a reign of decades of peace that he's still trying to uphold and I just love the struggle we're seeing with his character. I have faith in this show, the world, and the possible stories to be told and so far with this episode alone made up for Season 8 for me 😂 Can't wait to continue watching this along with you guys and seeing your reactions to how this story unfolds! (P.S sorry for geeking out so hard this world is just so detailed and alive and I enjoy how good George R.R Martin is at creating that very history)

I really loved how they made the iron throne more imposing in this, they raised it up with more steps and surrounded it with so many melted swords. It looks much more like it is described in the books and often portrayed in artwork. Even from the beginning when the show was great I never really liked the iron throne from game of thrones, it always seemed to small just sitting in the throne room it is supposed to be raised up and I never really believed it was made from the collected swords of multiple armies.

The birthing scene was one of my favorite of the whole episode. I didn't feel disturbed by it because unfortunately since the beginning of time many women died exactly like that. It's a very sad scene, but also interesting and very well done. Also I've watched The Knick and nothing can compare to that level of intensity regardless pregnancies and women dying during childbirth.

If you go back and watch the trailer I believe they do a jump forward, Rhaeneryas looks older in a lot of the scenes (the actresses look strikingly similar).. and even the Alicent character has a different actress portraying her.

@jeremypinnell4058 Жыл бұрын

I knew there were going to be 2 different actresses playing Rhaeneryas and Alicent, but I was thinking they were going to do flashbacks. It looks like they are going to jump ahead a little bit in a few episodes to show how close the 2 are for when they want to kill each other 10 to 20 years later. Should be a fun civil war

I really liked Emelia Clark's performance in general, but after watching this I've realized how bad she was at speaking her Old Valarian lines. I know they've had several more years to develop it but this series have people delivering old valarian in a way that felt way more natural and it felt more like a fleshed out culture in this. Like whenever Dany did it, its was super dramatic and over the top. But there was so many regular conversations in this.

@roguechevelle Жыл бұрын

Well it's good to keep in mind too that this takes place many years before then and she moved around alot as a child, languages have different accents or dialects depending on where your from or places you live in influence your accent. Anyone who speaks a second language or that has lived abroad for a while can tell you that accents differ. They have a professional linguist that developed the language and works with the actors, it may have been a conscious choice to have the accents differ because of the difference in timeframes and upbringing. They also seem to speak it with more frequency being that there are more Targaryen's in existence at this time while it seems Dany was the last of her line (or so she thought) also it sounds a bit like her Dothraki influenced some of her accent in Valarian as well since she spoke Dothraki with more frequency.

@LS13. Жыл бұрын

Because the language was still somewhat around during this time within our characters. During danys time the language was basically extinct in Westeros, so they made it a point that she could speak it. And yes it wasn’t well developed then. She wasn’t bad at delivering, it was what it was then

@judigemini178 Жыл бұрын

Dany didn't have the kind of security and support and accessibility of the targaryen empire & culture that we're being shown here, she was an exile being hunted & figuring everything out on her own. In GOT I believe valyrian is seen as an old & dead language by that time. She was surviving in a post targaryen world, if anything this new series has made me realise that her rise is kind of a miracle given all that context. I wouldnt really expect her portrayal to be that of a self-assured targaryen who is fully in tune with her heritage & roots. But to each his own, everyone's interpretation of it is going to differ.

@LS13. Жыл бұрын

@@judigemini178 correct, she barely even spoke Valyrian through the show, only a few lines. She mostly spoke Dothraki if anything
