Shit is about to get real. Seeing the eggs of Drogon, Viseron & Rhaegar made me feel sad all over again because of how GoT ended. I still can't figure out which dragon s in the fourth egg though.

Oh, was that what those eggs were? Hadn't realised.
I didn't also. Because in the book those 3 eggs have different story. I will never again read a book before watching a show first.
The one Euron claimed to have that never hatched maybe?
They changed the story to honor GoT but I figured that's what they were and looks like it was confirmed on an Instagram post. I don't want to link it here because the comments are riddled with spoilers. I'll just include this quote.I didn't also. Because in the book those 3 eggs have different story.

Ahh probably. The story can continue with so many different angles if only GRR is willing to write it
Huh, in game of thrones pilot illiyro Mapatis gifts Dany the eggs and says the eggs came from the shadowlands beyond Ashai.
They seem to hate him hugely and want him dead, unclear to me why. Although they also shout 'Smash' whenever he appears which is a bit confusing. And when the one eyes kid appears it gets even louder. Never had this problem with GoT.
Obviously you have to retaliate by watching it with them and saying stuff like; "Get those feet out, Alicent, you slaaaaaag." or "Rhaenys can ride my dragon any day."
Controversial opinion possibly but neither of those two would make top five hot female characters in Game of Thrones. And nor would anyone else in the show. Male gaze is not a thing this time round.
I didn’t realise Aegon is only a year younger than Olivia Cooke in real life 
the ageing in this is so weird. In fairness he pulls teenager off a bit better than Aemond does.

It's a GoT staple. Remember Rickon? No of course you don't, because why would anyone remember Rickon.
I do but you seem more obsessed with GoT than I am.

I used to be.

What would you call it now? Did you read the books?
Yes. But the way GoT ended and then the day GRRM ceased wanting to be a novelist pretty much killed my excitement about A Song of Ice and Fire. I find myself genuinely not caring if he ever finishes the series.
The worst part is actually that he'll never finish Dunk and Egg. At least we'll get a TV series.
I hear ya. I'm still hoping he'll finish the books. That would be the only consolation and the only redemption of the mess they made of the series.
I think we're getting the next one, but the last one seems a stretch. Doubt he'll do a Robert Jordan and have someone else finish it either. Ah well, there are plenty of great fantasy authors out there who are active right now.
Agreed.
Not even slightly controversial.
As for blokes, Rob, John and Jaime have no competition here.
Bobby B and his raw sex appeal still reigns supreme
They had the same story as the book in season 1, if you look at the dragon designs it's very clear where the eggs came from. They decided to retcon it for the show in season 2 for reasons.I didn't also. Because in the book those 3 eggs have different story. I will never again read a book before watching a show first.
It was Cheese. The Rat Catcher who killed the young prince. His body was still hanging.
Do you have any decent recommendations that comes close to GoT?
Fire and blood?
First Law series by Joe Abercrombie
At this stage it is virtually guaranteed that he won’t finish the series.
It doesn’t matter if he lives for another 20 years (highly unlikely), he has just stopped writing.
Close in style or quality? My favourites atm are Joe Abercrombie, Brandon Sanderson and Anthony Ryan right now. Sanderson is currently writing his 10 book epic, The Stormlight Archive. I've list count of how many novels he's finished since Dance came out. All of them, really.
I have a sofa full of estrogen that disagrees.
Just watched the first two episodes of season one. I quite liked it. There aren’t any decent historical tv series around and I’m a sucker for medieval settings.
If Aegon is still alive I swear to God...
I don't think so, but plot armor is plot armor. Assuming not, does that mean Rhanera is the official heir again?

Woah.
S2e4 was good fun; shame we lost two of the best characters.
I want to know how Daemon reacts when he learns Aemond pulled the old end-around on him.

I can't decide who I hate most patches or cole.
Wow what an episode bordering line GOT level (1 to 6 seasons). Truly shocked and loved the sequence, the dance has truly commenced.
incredible episode. last 15 minutes are early GoT level imo.
Great episode. Aemond doesn't give a feck about anyone.
He's dead right? Surely?
Thing is....Aemonds the one that killed him. The gods don't forgive kingslayers and all that.

It's a Rhaenyra v Damon situation again from early season 1 but worse with these lot. Though I doubt they'll feck about and risk anything and give it to Aemond from the jump. Probably has to marry his niece when she's of age or something too.
Well I don't think people can say the show is a bit slow moving after that
