if it makes you feel better, that's just the young version of the character, and we should be seeing a time jump in the next episode, I think.
ahh thats why, so Hightower must be getting a new actress too

Including that Aegons secret dialogue was dumb, especially in the way it was delivered.

Other than that it was an excellent premiere.
I was sort of down on the Song of Ice and Fire thing at first, sort of a cheap and kind of cheesy way to have a tie-in with Game of Thrones. But having thought about it a bit, I kind of like it. The Targaryens, even the good ones, have always kind of been grandiose and prone to bouts of mania (a fairly popular fan theory suggests that they carry some sort of genetic predisposition to being afflicted with something akin to Bi-Polar Disorder) so I think that it sort of fits the characters well to have them be deadly serious about their quasi-divine purpose. It also makes the whole feudal system a bit more stomachable for the modern audience to have your monarchs actually, genuinely believe they are destined to save the world and have that be the ideological foundation of their obsession with preserving their dynasty, rather than simply having them grasp for power (playing the game of thrones).

You're creeped out by people filming the flashes of light from windows as seen from the street outside? That's not creepy. Creepy would be filming people themselves. Seeing synchronized flashes of light simply does not qualify.

That Tony Hawk joke was the exact thing I thought of when that scene happened. I said "one million points for that sick grind" so I'm glad to see a meme of it.

Its crazy seeing the non book readers reactions and seeing them think Daemon will be the true villian of the show lol

Yeah, I'm pretty curious when they'll do the time jump. I don't want to talk about this to much here

Same. It is honestly really weird.

Manages expectations .. been hurt too many times! Tru fans know all it takes is a couple episodes of bad lighting (eg: Battle of Winterfell) to leave a series in tattered ruins.

So it opened with 10 million people. That's pretty impressive for a show that's brand new and especially after how GoT ended. For comparison, the last episode of GoT was 19 million.

Very Impressive. Also that 19 million was after years of people telling people other people to watch it and it finally hooking. GOT started with like 2 million.

With HOTD coming in with 10 million, I dont think itll ever eclipse GOT, but a comfortable 15 million is possible.

After rewatching the episode Ive warmed up to the Aegons secret being handed down from king to heir thing, but I still dislike the manner in which it was delivered.

In the scene the king talked so urgently about it all as if he too knew there was only a couple minutes left in the episode.

There's one character later in the timeline (not in this show unless they have a BIG timeskip) that would be interesting to follow if Game of Thrones hadn't basically written him out of existence...

If you mean Bloodraven we are getting a Dunk and Egg show so he should feature in that.
