Yeah, I haven't watched the episode yet and I'll take screenshots soon. However, my physical therapist gave it away when she goes, "Yeah, so I heard that almost half the cast is going to be recast." Now, I don't care if someone releases a spoiler, but it was the fact that I knew at that very moment when she said that to me as she was painfully stretching and pulling my arm, then I knew I was about to lose my Milly.

I enjoy pain, but to lose Milly so abruptly is not fair.

Okay, so Ty Tennant is the actor who plays Prince Aegon Targaryen II. That's the character who enjoys voyeurism masturbation, right? I don't know how to feel now as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Ser Criston Cole were like the IT factor. Like, if you're not them, then you're no one, lol! Of the recasts to age them 10 years later, they didn't want to keep Milly Alcock, but they kept Fabien Frankel? What. EVER. I like Olivia Cooke as Queen Alicent Hightower though.

Who is this Larys 'Clubfoot' Strong character? He just kind of popped up like a genital wart.

Oh, yeah. That's right. In S01E05. I totally forgot all about that. Well, since it has been a ten-year jump, I'm sure he and Queen Alicent Hightower have developed an untold relationship within that time frame. I was wondering why he ordered the tongues to be cut off of those guys in exchange for their freedom. Well,  because they cannot speak of it, but they can write about it I suppose. So, how many children does Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen have? It's 3, right? I wonder if the eldest son is Ser Criston Cole's. 

OMG. Me too. I'm sure by now his back has been sucked on by a thousand blood-sucking leeches. I don't know how Queen Alicent Hightower does it.

The longer this show goes on the more it really does resemble Knots Landing, lol. The domestic family squabbles and ongoing pressure cooker of the many enclosed, suffocating social events they share, the long-standing personal and social grudges. Even Larys Strong and his new leverage on Alicent (beautifully and tragically played by Olivia Cooke) after events with the Strongs closely resembles Abby Ewing getting way more than she bargained for from a helpful business associate in Knots Season 6!

LOL! I haven't had the chance to watch it yet, but after taking these screenshots, I think I know where this is already heading! Yes, the drama and the scandal!

She's fantastic! I really like Queen Alicent now.   Those family scenes after the kids' fight (which was also great, I thought someone was going to get killed) was so damn good.  I loved the tension and in-fighting and accusations.  

 

"I'm not a kid anymore, uncle. Please fuck me."  Ewwwww.......haha.

So gross. I'm still miffed that they took away Milly Alcock, but I sort of understand why they had to do a 10-year time jump. But, Rhaenyra Targaryen (played by Milly) and Criston Cole were so cute together. Now, she's an uncle lover.

Episode 1.8: "Say it."  "Her children.....ARE BASTAAAARDS!!!  And she is a whore."  Me:

Superb music for King Viserys entrance and walk to the throne.  He truly loved Rhaenyra and had to be there for his daughter one last time.  What a scene!

 

Episode 1.9: "You desire not to be free but to make a window in the wall of your prison." This scene between Rhaenys and Alicent was so good! That line by Rhaenys is one of the best from the season.   And then the dragon scene at the end.  This episode made me like Rhaenys. 

 

Episode 1.10: Can they please stop with birthing scenes????  This was the most gruesome of all, and I had do periodically look away.   What was the point of Rhaenyra losing the baby?  I hope we get a Rhaenyra/Alicent showdown scene next season.  They are my two favourite characters on the show. 

 

Incest question...... Earlier in the season, why did they make it seem like Rhaenyra and Daemon getting together was taboo, yet Viserys/Alicent's son and daughter married each other.  I figure incest marriage is mainly for strategy, but I don't see the point of Aegon/Haelena.  Why was Aegon/Haelena pairing okay?

      '92. I was looking for when Vanessa called Billy a sonofabitch. Then I got sucked into '92 and got rewarded by finding Vanessa and Mo getting sloshed. (3/6/92, I believe). Then the Blackout...lol, and just kept falling down the rabbit hole. This is lateOct/earlyNov. I couldn't believe my ears!  Reva's marriage to Billy was before they came to town. But yeah... Maybe it was Harley and Gus that CarJack lost to later. thanks! Thanks @Paul Raven  this is a fascinating read.

      I just have this feeling Bill and Leslie about to be the next big thing. Not sure what that means for Hayley but if they want to be messy they could put her in Jacob's orbit. They had a bit of chemistry during their scene at Orphey Gene's a few months back.

      You give her alot of credit. I really think she is in her feelings about what she feels Eva did to her. If this was just an act, there really wouldnt be a need to throw away her picture when she was alone. She's not feeling Eva right now and isnt thinking logically, which has been the case for her for much of this plan. I think she'll go back to Eva once she's calmed down but i dont think she's faking She's mad and in her feelings

      Did anyone like Greg/Paige as a couple? There was an age gap (in 1988 William Devane was 49 and Nicollette Sheridan was 25) but the ick factor to me was Paige being the daughter of Greg's frenemy Mack and at one point it was thought Greg was Paige's father. Also I didn't feel that Greg/Paige were a genuine love, it seemed more like mid-life crisis/rebound. Of all of Greg's main pairings (Abby, Laura, Paige), to me the only genuine love was Laura.

      I think it’s all an act. I think she’s cutting off Eva because she knows her daughter will run to Ted and counting on him on being a decent human being, he obviously will take in Eva. Once Eva and Ted have formed a bond Leslie will either use this to try and worm her way into Ted’s good graces and/or use Eva to destroy the Dupree/Richardson family form within. I don’t think Leslie is quite done with Eva just yet, she knows after all of this she still has a pull over that girl.

      I like Haley, but she was being irritating today as Peg Bundy.

      I really don't understand Leslie.  Cutting off her daughter now leaves her with absolutely nothing and no bargaining chip...

      And for all we know, there might be other siblings that Jacob has that haven't been mentioned yet.  It wouldn't be the first time a prodigal son and/or daughter is not mentioned by the family. A middle class family that's involved with the police force and police force adjacent would be a nice contrast with the more wealthy Duprees.  There is a lot of story material to mine from that dynamic.
