    Ah, I found the casting for the young adult versions of the kids. cool, they got the guy from the Dunkirk and King movie to play Aegon II. There is a claim (allegedly from the showrunners, I haven't read the article) that the show is supposed to be 3-4 seasons. Probably 3 IMHO given what's in the book.

    Finished the episode. I got to say that it'll take another episode or two for me to warm up to these aged up actors. My mind is still connected to their younger versions. I like the children. This new arc reminds me of the Vikings TV show, where we had the children of the first generation being introduced- then eventually their adult forms. So there will be adult actors for all these kids in later episodes. Aegon II is looking to be a future deviant. I hope young-adult Aemond makes it this season, he looks badass and will be one of the chief characters. Clubfoot is well performed and menacing, and utterly looks the part. But wow, such a jump from the previous 2 episodes. It's rather jarring, and it will take getting used to. As a littlefinger derivative he is just as witty but in a very creepy/unsettling way. Littlefinger was a mustache-twirling villain that was fun to watch.
  4. per the exercise discussion, I've been doing the same routine for many years now. Besides 9 hours of walking/hiking a week, I just use a pair of 65 lb. dumbbells at home and do 240 push-ups twice a week. with the dumbbells I do shoulders/triceps, biceps, and forearms. Each group twice a week. Really simple. All the weight lifting/push ups amounts to approx. 3 1/2 hours a week.
  5. I feel the same way, philosophy and great stories that illustrate truth & the greatest experiences get straight to the point.
  6. I recommend it, it's a very good show. Very little wokeness or agenda. It is not up to the level of Game of Thrones during its prime (a 6 out of 5 show, a unicorn) but it is very well made, top tier show. I would give show maybe a 4.5 out of 5 so far. My favorite episode was episode 3. It is a different style of 'Game of Thrones'. The original was full length, highly detailed prose. This one moves extremely fast, with condensed events and a lot of things happening. There are time jumps of years between episodes.

    Oh you read the book? I should look at it when I have time. I miss Milly already. She was great as Princess R. Her replacement is a competent actress but I feel like she is very different from Milly, lacking her playful wit. I just find them two different women, and not an older version of the same woman. Her husband straight up is a different guy too. Alicent is a quite miserable woman now. This episode moves super fast. So many pivotal things in just 70 minutes. I haven't finished the episode yet, will comment more later.

    The way Sir Criton Cole develops is really abrupt and awkward. He starts up as a likeable, decent friend and then turns unhinged in one episode. Now he's essentially a different character. I think it was quite possible to write his character in a more organic way.
  12. episode 6 HOD dropped with the new, aged up actors. Aegon II looks so much like an archetypical anime character. I'm thinking Griffith from Berserk and others. Some comments are calling him a boy Homelander, it will be cool to see how he and Aemond develop.
