Another dull ass episode with some of the worst telegraphed scenes so far. The scene with Seassmoke and how that ended up was clumsily edited. Boy, I didn't see that ending coming. :sarcasm:

It was better than last week.

The point of Daemon’s story at Harrenhal was to just bring season 1 characters back.

I’m guessing the dragon Rhaena found in the Vale is Sheepstealer. That would seem to point to the fan theory that she is going to get Nettles storyline from the book,
Spoiler:
Minus banging Daemon

The preview said only two episodes remaining?! Didn't realize it was a shortened season, I'm bummed! Still they've all been good/great episodes.

This episode was almost feature-length.

I enjoyed the episode.

Episode is titled "Smallfolk"

Another good one.

With 2 episodes left my guess with how they finish the season is either

Spoiler:
Dragonseeds next week and Battle of the Gullet in the finale.

or

They drag the Dragonseed story out and they the end the season with Hugh claiming Vermithor.

Yeah, I'd be surprised if they're aren't setting up Sheepstealer, though replacing Nettles with Rhaena introduces its own set of problems. :lol:

I'm thinking that the Daemon Harrenhal storyline is probably going to become more significant than we think...

BOOK SPOILERS FOLLOW

Spoiler:


Really... go back if you don't already know how the Black/Green Civil War plays out or don't care if you find out...



Spoiler:

Daemon and Aemond (and their respective dragons) both perish at the Battle Above the God's Eye. Aemond's body will eventually be recovered (with Daemon's sword Dark Sister stuck in skull through the eye socket), but Daemon's body or bones will never be found.

There is speculation that he didn't actually die, but instead went into seclusion with Nettles and lived out a quiet life away from all of the political fighting that defined his life.

I think that all of the stuff he's seeing at Harrenhal is going to burn him out or give him the self-realization that he doesn't want to continue on this path, and we'll find out that he doesn't die at the God's Eye but instead left his sword behind and went away with Nettles (whose arc as Daemon's lover might be passed on to Alys Rivers if they don't introduce Nettles and give her arc to Rhaena) as has been speculated. If Daemon does run off with Alys, then he'll probably end up raising Aemond's child who she'll get pregnant with after he takes Harrenhal and executes the Strongs.

I'm happy with the series so far. Sad to think only 2 more episodes left. I've been fighting the urge to rewatch GoT. lol

The People: We want great character development, drama, and intrigue on HotD.

HotD Show Writers: Cool. Here you go.

Those Same People: This is boring! More Dragons blowing fire!!!! :mad:

I want a crossover episode where Daemon's dream sequence and Tony Soprano's dream sequence overlap. Like Daemon finds himself in a New Jersey deli, but the customers are waiting in line to be ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and his number keeps being skipped. Tony is in the corner wearing a robe and eating fistfuls of prosciutto.

Enjoyed this episode overall, minus some issues with the editing and flow of sequences. My only real complaint would be that
Spoiler:
kiss between two people who have all the chemistry of non-incestuous siblings. That and it was super awkward following a story of sexual assault.



I read afterwards that it was improvised by the actors. It was so tone deaf that it should have been left on the editing room floor.

Again, I know I am way late with this season. I don't have Max (or whatever it's called these days) so had the wait to get my hands on the discs.
