The Red Sowing

A great episode that pushes and charges up the finale next week, really a very good if not great episode, the seeding was glorious and very gripping, great dialogues between Rhaenyra and Jace and finally Daemon has an army. Very beautiful the scene of Hugh and Ulf in reclaiming the dragons and very indicative the ending as to make Aemond understand that even the blacks are there and are well armed after this last episode, with an army that comes down from the North and the lands of the rivers. Now the battle and the dance of the dragons is more fiery than ever. Who knows if Daeron will appear at the end of this season. I can expect anything. Can't wait for next week.

This episode is indeed CINEMA ! An absolutely fantastic hour of television.

Rhaenyra at her best for this one, she had shown what's meant to be the blood of the dragon.

The dragonseeds plot was well developed and now it came to a very satisfying conclusion, Hugh's character is really growing on me, the depth the showrunners have given to him makes him more intriguing than his F&B portrayal.

What else can be said you'll discover great cinematography, CGI at its best, Alicent has a really beautiful scene and of course the whole dragons claiming moments.

The final scene was absolute badass, FOR HERE COMES THE DRAGON QUEEN !

Hyped for the finale.

This is TV with Capital Letters. From start to finisth. The dragons steal the episode, the CGI is formidable and the worldbuilding is quite believable. I use to think the best episodes of GoT will be never comparable to any other tv series in days to come, but this show is making me wonder if that will remain true. Beside that, Emma D Arcy is just wonderful as Olivia Cooke is too. Even when action is absent in the screen, the shakesperean vibe of the dialogs conveys depth and fleshness of the characters. Keep watching this show, it deserves our best attention, the world of GoT is safe and sound by now, thanks MAX.

After some completely forgettable episodes, reminiscent of the worst moments of GOT, we are relieved to watch a good episode.

I still consider the season weak, with a lot of delay and little evolution. However, we finally got a head start on the Daemon madness. We saw dragons being claimed. And small character expansions that will be important in the Dance of Dragons.

My only criticism of this episode is the need to show Alicent, which is completely irrelevant. And Daemon's visions, which no one can stand to watch anymore.

Finally, a solid episode, with a great soundtrack, insanely good CGI and finally a movement for this season. 9/10.

Remember how terrifying JAWS was without even seeing the monster much at all? This penultimate episode said "screw that method, we're showing the monsters in all their glory." And boy were the dragons epic. Bravo to the FX and sound design crew, this should win them the Emmy. The scene in the ale house, setting up Ulf as a potential dragon rider, was a bit cheesy, but otherwise the episode packed in a lot of tension and action. My only complaint is that they've kept Daemon in limbo for the entire season, almost as if they weren't sure what to do with him. The ending shot was pure chills.

My fear, as in most seasons of these epic tales, is that we've peaked at the penultimate episode and the finale will let us down a bit.
