Some angles she's cute. Other angles she's got a little person look to her. I'm getting to the age where she doesn't look legal.I keep getting these vibes.
Last night, my MIL asked me if I thought her face looked weird. I actually think she's pretty cute.
(22 to save you the search)
You sure about that? I looked 'er up and I saw she was born in '92.

if only I knew how to read
it literally says time jump. I guess I didn't make it to the end of the sentence before my attention jumped to something else.

Yup
Lol, it’s even highlighted.Ohhh, I missed that nugget. Must be a time jump?This won't confuse anyone.some good identifying tidbits on House Hightower here (it talks about episode 1 but no spoilers beyond that):
The Hightower family is filling a devious role in 'House of the Dragon.'
'House of the Dragon' Episode 1 introduces plenty of new faces, names, and royal houses for viewers to become acquainted with in the coming weeks. With that in mind, here's what fans should know about Alicent Hightower.www.inverse.com

Let's go! Expecting lots of action in Dragonstone tonight and hopefully meeting a few new dragons. I do think this will also be mostly set-up for future episodes, but its possible they will move things along quickly. I don't think anyone really knows what the first season is going to cover, where it will end and how much they need to get in.

First episode was okay. This one felt more like early GOT. I’m in

I like that they had a scene that was like "I see your silly wig, and raise you a silly accent!"

It was cool, but I didn't understand it.
This is a good story. The source material is basically an outline of a history, so there is a lot that will be filled in by the writers (almost all of the dialogue). So it does seem a little choppy with time jumps -- but I like it more than I thought I would so far.

They are really speeding through the build-up. Ain't nobody got no patience for world-building.
I liked it but WTF did it mean? I know the GOT map was obvious but I had no idea if I should have gotten what it was or not.
Yep, I enjoyed this episode way more than the last one. The last one was just so many people and houses that us book readers were lost and it just didn’t have that pace or coolness like the WW intro in GOT episode 1.
To a certain degree we kind of already know stuff. I think the world building will be minimal because of the scope. No idea if
guy was in the books but he seems like a McGuffin to get Daemon and Night Court together. Something tells me that Daemon may pull the rug on Night Court.

Not really a surprise. All the trailers showed shots of the adult Rhaenyra actress....so we knew they were going to jump forward very quickly. It will be interesting to watch the pacing. If every episode is "1 year later" (or more) it will just be sort of weird.

It's the Targaryan bloodline. I need to go back and watch it a couple more times but from what I do know, the Targ family tree is riddled with incest so the line diverges and converges and diverges again. There were symbols/sigils along the way, hopefully they'll become more clear as the story goes as to which belongs to who.

I thought it was blood running through the family tree.

Yea, I could not make out the gold things that were flipping around.

Yeah, I couldn't follow it at all. Was cool visually.
I still really miss the maps. Would love to have an idea of where the stepstones are.

I thought the time jump last night worked but agreed that it'll be weird if every episode is a time jump.

And the potential queen (rejected) is, uh, 12. I think the chosen new queen is ~18?
Obviously Martin has had some input.

The Stepstones are a chain of islands between the southern narrow sea and the northwestern Summer Sea. The islands are east of Dorne in Westeros and west of the Disputed Lands in Essos.[1] The Stepstones are notoriously filled with pirate dens.[2]

I thought the chosen Hightower girl is closer to 14 or 15
Maybe just wishful thinking

The actresses are 19 and 22 and the Hightower one is younger IRL. On the show, I agree she’s the one who looks older.Oh, interesting. She seemed older than the princess to me.

According to dates in the Wiki, Alicent is 17 or 18 when she marries the king.The actresses are 19 and 22 and the Hightower one is younger IRL.

I'm nervous discussing "spoilers" here that are only evident from the trailers. There's one guy in the marvel topics that didn't even want discussion of the movie poster, which he strives to avoid so as to preserve his virgin experience. I guess the only thing I would say is we knew about the one big time jump that is obvious in the trailers and discussed at length in interviews and articles but as you noted they had a 6 month jump to episode 2 and will jump ahead a year or more in episode 3 so its going to get a bit confusing as to some of the story lines - probably in a good way. I've never really known how much this season 1 is expected to cover but it might be much more than just the battle over the Stepstones.

We just saw the Alicent actress in Slow Horses on Apple - in which she plays an MI5 agent who must be mid-20's at least. Great range I guess.

The scene on the bridge with showdown for the egg and general deviant behavior by brother was excellent.
The guy playing The Hand is great as is the guy from The Crown playing the crazy brother.
Not sure how many episodes we are getting but they are building a nice base here.

Think at the council meeting they said one of the guards died in their sleep
