Getting to this episode again in the rewatch was every bit as special as the first time viewing. There entire episode could've just been the scene of Viserys crawling his way to the very throne that has taken his life and family from him and I would have it rated just as high. For all of Daemon's faults (of which there are many and even more to come) the moment between him and Viserys as he helps him finish his journey is one of the highlights of not only House of the Dragon, but in all of Game of Thrones lore so far. I'm so excited for the direction the show is taking and we should all feel confident that these writers won't betray us the same way the GoT writers did.

I think the biggest trap people have fallen into over the last 5 years or so when it comes to movies is that if a movie doesn't have a chance to make a billion dollars or win a gluttony of awards then it's not worth the time of day, which is such a terrible way to view anything. If EVERY movie is supposed to be the best movie ever, then no movie would be the best movie ever. We need movies exactly like this that are somewhere between above average and good where we can go, get a popcorn, laugh a little, be a little surprised, and leave knowing it was a two hours well spent.

This movie was perfectly ridiculous, with some of that standard Matthew Vaughn flair we know and love. It's an absolute homerun of a cast, littered with Oscar winners, nominees, and general fan favorites and it was clear to see that they had fun making the movie, and you probably will have the same amount of fun watching. Probably not something I'd ever go out of my way to watch again, but I'm not mad I saw it once.

6.1/10.
