Looks like the next (E08) will jump again (10 years or so), on youtube I saw Aemond as an adult on the video image.
Yep, a lot of the child actors seem to have been replaced - again.
I thought that the beginning of this episode was boring but it ended stronger.

A 6 year jump for this episode. The best so far though.
My minor quibble is Aemond seems a lot older than the other boys even though he is the youngest son. But yes, that was an improvement on the last.

##spoiler
I was hoping that the impending war would start in Ep 10. Viserys did tell us that the Targaryens do not control the dragons.
##endspoilerTotally, you could see that coming.
##spoiler
It was like the late series GoT how lucy was eaten over the sea. His, and his dragon's bodies were dispersed. Yeat Daemon is telling the Queen about it that day. Hate that shit. In reality, Aemond should just go home, stay schtum, and no one would be the wiser for weeks, or even ever

WTF was with that creepy cripple tossing himself off over a bare ankle. Of all the unnecessary scenes in GoT over the years that one takes the cake.
He has a foot fetish doesn't he, thanks to his club foot (I assume that's what the close ups of his feet before all the creepiness was implying).
Seem perfectly in line with both characters IMO.

One thing this show is been super unclear with, in a Witcher seasone 1 way (ie not good), is how much time is passing. How do you know it was just a day?

I got into this late.
It really didn't grab me until the last part of the season, took a while to find it's own identify from the original show. I missed jumping around of locations and different types of characters from GoT, so being focused on one house in one place wasn't as interesting.
The story fixed that for me later in the run.
I also found the Crown style recasting jarring. Unlike the Crown who has the balls to recast everyone, keeping some and not others is a mistake.
Certainly want to see what happens next, so they have done their job. Older Rhaeneyra had a cracker of a final scene, and her child birth scene was excellent.

##endspoilerDoesn't matter how long, it's ridiculous that anything was found, in what is now hostile territory, and communicated with Daemon. Queen would've been fretting if it wasn't very soon. It's like killing someone in a forest in a fantasy computer game, and th e guards arresting you when you hit the next settlement, despite no non magical way of knowing. Immersion breaking

The only import point was that they found out. Maybe the magical dragons can magically find dead dragons, super unimportant detail IMO.
If you look that hard at anything then logic will start to fall apart. Suspension of disbelief and all that.

In the book bits of Arrax washes up on the shores a few days later.
Also that the clash could be seen from the walls of Storms End. So there were witnesses.
Yeah in the books, on the TV it would be impossible to see through that storm. For me, that was a teleporting travel in late GoT scenario. It annoys me, maybe I'm the only one but I hate that sort of laziness.

I think the point of the original comment was that you didn’t have to look far at all to wonder “how did that work?”
Yes it is a fantasy show, but that doesn’t mean logic has to fly out the window as well.
If you want a good show that is. -
They certainly are shitting on poor old Daemon, all the 'nice' and 'clever' things he has done have been got rid of, and they've added charming things like choking his wife. I don't think that anyone will be surprised to see them attributed to Rhaenyra, cos women are the real brains/power etc. Alicent has transformed from a grasping mother, and Rhaenys the voice of reason. They also are happy to miss out that it was one of the Baratheon girls that goaded Aemond into action
Unlike the shit they are crapping on RoP, which has a canon, HotD is open to do what you like with it as it is an in-world book, with an unreliable narrator.
