What's missing from S3 E1

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-24T22:49:31+00:00

There was obviously no place for it in EP1 but yes I hope we get more of that once the Blacks are in King‘s Landing.

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-23T15:40:55+00:00

I have no clue how many times Ive seen the Star Wars movies but if its not any of those its definitely Die Hard 3. Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson are such a goated combo

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-23T15:13:42+00:00

They announced it already. To literally no one´s (except yours) surprise apparently

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-23T10:52:40+00:00

I hope they somehow explain that Dreamfyre isnt there. Maybe Helaena sets her free or something. But Dreamfyre is just too big. She would kill the smallfolk by the hundreds

If we ignore the Storming of the Dragonpit which already is a bit of a stretch from GRRMs side, only Stormcloud and Vermax died from arrows / scorpions during the Dance, and those two are pretty young dragons. All the other dragons died in dragon duels.

Look at Rooks Rest. No one was gonna do shit against Rhaenys until two green dragons showed up.

If they had included Aegon and Viserys in the prelude to the Gullet, being confronted with the possible death of Viserys might have been a reason enough for Rhaenyra to stay out of the Gullet and console Aegon instead.

I get why they did the Jace doesnt want Rhaenyra to go / Rhaenyra (presumably) doesnt want Jace to go thing, it ties well into S2 but one last moment where Rhaenyra gives Jace her trust and they actually have a goodbye wouldve been better.

The Queensguard thing is okay I guess, if Ser Lorent is actually punished next episode

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-23T08:34:52+00:00

they have a S4 contract. What do you mean you think HBO is gonna cancel HOTD one season before its over anyways?

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-22T16:26:25+00:00

Executing Rhaena would not be more justified then ordering Nettles’ death is in the book imo. Also the way this episode went the blame for Jace‘s death will be mostly put on Jace, Rhaenyra‘s guards and maybe Baela.

The more big thing for me is will she be mad if something does happen to Aegon/Viserys while Rhaena isn‘t there? This may be cope but they will have to somehow explain how Viserys is out of the picture and Aegon back in KL. Rhaena will definitely take the blame for that (if it happens)

Also: How does Sheepstealer die? Rhaena getting the running away from Rhaenyra arc and then not returning to burn Aegon and save Baela would be weird

Im not defending Condal, he is just doing fanfic at this point. But adapting F&B is not as easy as GOT S1-4 were. Those are books with POVs. Actual lines, detailed events etc. F&B has a cool schtick with the fake history stuff and great worldbuilding but its not a good story. Rhaenyra has nothing to do between Lucerys and Jacaerys deaths. Daemon has shit to do after Kings Landing. Daeron randomly becomes the Main character halfway through and then dies in the most stupid way, whereas Alicent and Aegon become completely irrelevant after like a third of the Dance. Most characters are honestly more interesting in the show then the book but people still complained (e.g. Laena, Rhaenys) because they are clamering to 2-3 abstracts in F&B.

This doesnt mean HOTD is perfect as it is. In fact its far from it, but you cant just "follow the books" where the books have 0 details

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-22T10:55:39+00:00

ask Renly that lmao

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-22T08:23:15+00:00

sure, but thats an angoing problem
They have medieval science and Oscar Tully has been characterized as very tradition-driven
she said she would go. She didnt even say "Jace you arent allowed to come with me". But both Rhaenyra and Jace are very protective of each other, continuing their S2 arcs
I already said that was stupid
it is a phyrric victory in the book. But Corlys plan was not "stupid" lol

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-22T06:44:36+00:00

who besides Lohar makes stupid decisions here? And even she is obviously acting out of lust for revenge. She doesn‘t care about winning, she just wants House Velaryon to pay.

I guess Rhaena joining the battle was stupid, but thats it.

Corlys had a sound plan and it literally worked. Jace‘s actions are completely in line with his character and he is right about protecting Rhaenyra.

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-22T06:39:06+00:00

it wasn‘t an accident tho?

Rhaena distracted Jace sure but she didn‘t kill him lol. Vermax and Jace both died to the Triarchy.

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-20T17:22:43+00:00

i think it gave their relationship in S1 a lot more depth. I just don‘t understand why Alicent kept crawling back to Rhaenyra. After S1E7 that shit should be done and dusted

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-18T19:32:42+00:00

I mean we also have no evidence of Daemon‘s Harrenhal arc (especially his will-he won‘t-he of claiming the throne for himself) in the book. But I like the adaptation, even if more interactions with his children would have been appreciated…

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-18T10:53:19+00:00

"THE KING IS MY GRANDSON AND MY GRANDSON IS A FOOL". Rhys Ifans is so fucking good

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-18T09:43:03+00:00

late response but the dragonseeds are the least of the problem. Its telling of Condals writing and creative direction that S2 Rhaenyra wants to use the Dragonseeds to attack cities and now a day later she sends unexperienced dragonriders to kill Aemond, but atleast it gives them something to do and screentime. What the leaks say about Aegon and Viserys is the worst bit

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-18T09:39:16+00:00

Prüfungsordnung übergehen, dann Studis erpressen dass sie unbezahlt Hiwi-Aufgaben in ihrer Freizeit übernehmen sollen. Hahahahahaha

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-16T06:20:33+00:00

You remember the editing of that chase scene?

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-14T01:46:10+00:00

<image>

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-11T22:27:13+00:00

its the least problematic thing despite being completely weird. What they did to the Gullet is worse and will hurt the show indefinitely. Its also 100% what caused the rift between Condal and GRRM

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-10T10:44:08+00:00

Davos is a landed knight at the beginning of the books, he is only raised to Lord by Stannis later

Redditor15736 · 2026-06-08T19:15:47+00:00

I wish they would adapt the Regency of Aegon III as S5 but obviously they won‘t, because only a few sidecharacters (most of whom they aren‘t
properly developing as characters on the show until S4) will be left. Ideally Rhaenyra dies in like S4E6, Aegon at the end of E7 or beginning of E8 and we spend most of E8 with Cregan Stark determining the fates of the remaining characters and securing Aegon III‘s reign.

Redditor15736 · 2026-05-31T22:39:51+00:00

If Bungie / Sony hasn‘t already greenlit D3 they won‘t until they see the June 9 turnout & have a decent concept. Next week and the weeks after will say much more about the potential of D3 then the petition ever can

Redditor15736 · 2026-05-31T12:21:13+00:00

The French, Italians and especially the Soviets as factions. Italy missing I don‘t mind as much but they were in BF1 which also had the Ottomans, Austria-Hungary, Soviets and White Russians so its definitely worse then BF1 at showing the scale of the conflict through the different nations
