The Lord of the Tides

This episode is by far the best one yet, and as I understand it is the final major time jump/casting change. As someone who is currently reading the book and hasn't even reached where the TV show is, the time jumps make a lot of sense to me, even if the recasting has been jarring at times.

My only real issue is the casting of Aegon and Aemond. The actors should have been swapped around, going on the looks of their predecessors.

But apart from that, I'm loving the progression of the show. Matt Smith and Paddy Considine are absolutely smashing their roles and I'm really beginning to appreciate the ladies in their roles as well.

I think people really need to read the book and understand the history behind the inspiration for this how, to appreciate what the shoe runners have had to work with.

One of the best, if not the best, hours I've watched in my life for a TV job! And I think it's better than many hours or events I've seen in many anime and movies as well! A great work done by the actors, especially Visers, who played a real paternal role in which he conveys the feelings of fatherhood to the viewers in the initial advertisements for the series. He deserves a lot of awards and I hope he gets a Best Actor award in the Emmy! And it would be a great betrayal if he didn't get it! The music was of the utmost magnificence and beauty, especially the music of The Last Supper, with Gesser's dancing and Helena, and the smiles of Viserys and the rest of the family, which embodies a scene of exceptional purpose and beauty!

What a masterful performance. Absolutely stole the episode. You can feel the tragedy of his character through his emotions.

Can definitely see why he received a text message from the man himself George R. R. Martin letting him know that his version of Viserys he portrayed in the show was better than the one he wrote. He kept us on the verge for his whole screen-time.

The hype for the dance of dragons is real. Whether it's this season or the next one, all we know is all hells are going to break loose, which keeps the show going.

Honorable mention to the Cinematography of this show, which has been breathtaking so far.

Paddy Considine's thank you , this actor he's one of my favorite actors, I've seen all his projects and he never disappointed me ever, he's a phenomenal played this arc that no one can do it only Paddy, the entering room to his throne i was SOBBING like I've been fan of this character for 8 years but no it's juts a month and half ,how the crew and team behind this show working is flawless from costumes ,ramin djwadi this man he's just doing warm up this season i know he's preparing for something big in next seasons, the acting like I said everyone's played their part so well but Paddy is another level.

Shireen Baratheon said it herself, by the time the Dance of Dragons was over, thousands were dead and the Targaryens never fully recovered. Brother fought brother and dragon fought dragon. Everything leading up to this has been some of the greatest setup in tv history and we are now about to see what could be some of the greatest tv period. The writing has been amazing and the intricacies have been painted so well. So many different happenings between all of the relationships. It's almost like nobody is truly in the wrong. However, it's impossible not to root for team black even though Alicent has a legitimate reason to claim Aegon as true heir. So complex and so amazing. Prepare for hell to break lose. Viserys was the door that was holding hell back.
