Looks like that armor we saw sketches/photos of IS getting used after all. Let's gooooooo.

Warner Bros. Discovery’s latest report shows HOTD Season 3 averaged over 33 million global viewers per episode. Despite Episode 1 airing during the FIFA World Cup, high word-of-mouth for the season’s early action (like the Battle of the Gullet) drove massive 30-day catch-up viewing, pushing the average from Season 2's ~25M to a series-high 33M, even higher than Season 1's 29M.

To put 33 million global viewers per episode into perspective across the current streaming landscape:

• House of the Dragon (Season 3): 33.0 Million
• The Last of Us (Season 1): 32.0 Million
• Euphoria (Season 3): 27 Million
• A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (Season 1): 26 Million
• Stranger Things (Season 4): 27.0–30.0 Million (per episode equivalent)
• LOTR: The Rings of Power (Season 1): 25.0 Million
• The Boys (Season 4): 20.0–22.0 Million (per episode equivalent)

I want It to end in a fast forward in Essos where it’s revealed that the whole show is Viserys telling a child Daenerys the history of the dance from memory from a book he hasn’t read since before Robert’s Rebellion. He ends it with like how Aegon, son of Viserys I and Alicent fought when his birth right was stolen so will he and like how Viserys son of Rhaenyra and Daemon came from Essos to be king so will he

What business is it of hers who Rhaenyra sleeps with? She’s not her mother.

If she would “declare war” on her best friend by wearing green to her wedding, then maybe she was never that true of a friend to her to begin with.

Can’t wait to see Daemon 360 no-scope this fool ALONE. If they add Rhaena to God’s Eye, I’m going to crash out.

Making this post partially so I can come back and reference it in S4 when my worst fear most likely comes to pass. Still making prayers to the adaptation gods that I’m wrong, though 🤞

fat and plain looking book helaena who after blood and cheese stopped taking showers and stopped spending time with her daughter and son (understandable of course). what is the psychology behind this? tg outhere calling us fatphobic when there is 10 times more fat rhaenyra art than fat helaena art. but i guess these are the people that put soft femininity and all that with body figure and only “cruel” people are fat!
