Why does Prince Baelor not have the signature white hair?

Mother was dark haired, so he took after her.

After reading Martin's comments and starting the show, I have to think the opening tree scene was for him.

Specifically (lore context): Dorne joined the Seven Kingdoms peacefully by marriage. Daeron the Good, Baelor and Maekar's father, married a princess of Dorne (Myriah Martell), while Daeron the Good's sister Daenerys married the ruling Prince of Dorne (Maron Martell).

Thanks! Appreciate all the back story here, for us casual watchers and non book readers, I enjoy getting some lore and back story on this thread without having to dig and risk possible spoilers. Keep it up!

Late to the party, but finally caught up and had to jump in to say this show is INCREDIBLE. The showrunners (and GRRM too) knew exactly the tone they wanted to strike and they nailed it. Funny and light, but sincere. Earnest without being cheesy. The classic hero's journey+lone wolf and cub trope but still feels fresh. 10/10.

And shoutout to Lorna Marie Mugan as the series Costume Designer. Every character's wardrobe looks believably lived in and authentic to the 'time.' Obviously the OG Game of Thrones set the bar, but this meets that standard and really stands out when compared to other high budget 'time period' shows like Wheel of Time.

Lol I kinda wish this was just 1 long movie released in theatres, because the quality is so good (and I hate waiting 7 days for each installment).

I believe he's referencing Ser Arlan's "lance" lol

Similar to another Targaryen prince we know

I mean, that was like looking in a mirror, so it didn't bother me any.

These HBO prosthetic dicks keep getting bigger and bigger. The crew making them is probably similar to the scene in Weird Science

If there was a Top Ten for "Dongs in Cinema," Ser Arlan is definitely on it.

Happy to do it. Honestly this might be the most confusing time period house Targaryen because it is the most abundant time in the dynasty's history.

This is a period where for a time the Targs stop marrying incestuously (there is a reason for this) so you get a lot of non-Valyrian looking Targaryens for a bit. Daeron the Good's wife is Dornish and each of his sons is married to a non-Targaryen lady.

I'm enjoying this so far, definitely more light hearted than typical GoT. Some of the scenes with Dunk and Egg have been a lot of fun.

Also interesting to see a Targaryen royal who seems like an actual decent human.

Comes across totally different when you read that while recalling the opening of the last episode!

My only nitpick so far: If Ser Arlan had shown literally any Lord his dick, I think his name would have been remembered throughout the realm and Dunk could have avoided all this trouble entirely.

Have one slightly spoilery question. If any reader could answer in spoiler text, would appreciate it.

Is Egg the same Egg that Aemon talked about at Castle Black? His younger brother, if memory serves?

That is mostly correct, except Aegon is the elder brother as I recall.

Really hoping we get a flashback episode of how Egg ended up where he is and why he left.

And hoping they filmed it this season rather than doing it in Season 2 when the kid will be visibly older.

Correct, Aemon was at the Citadel studying to become a Maester and was offered the opportunity to leave and become King but declined to break his vows, which is how Egg ends up with the crown

It makes me sad that the last two books will never be finished, but the Dunk and Egg short stories are great and I'm excited about this. It will be way better than House of the Dragon.


Haha! This series blows hugely. HOTD is insanely better. Watched Epi 1 and 2 lof this Knight series last night. Won't watch any others. It was awful and uneventful trash.

Joffrey and Aemon already provided most of the spoilers for this timeline.

Don't understand the mindset of people to come on the thread only to s*** on it with their HIGHLY subjective takes. Must be a miserable person in real life.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's episode and the rest of the series. I love origin stories and if Ser Duncan the Tall garnered 4 pages in the Knights Book (that Joffrey read when he was shaming Jamie in GoT) I'm excited to see what he does.

And I never understood taking what someone thinks about a tv show to draw conclusions about their life and that they must suck as a person lol. He doesn't like the show and posted it on a thread about the show. Big ****ing deal.

Wait so are we not allowed to discuss the goings-on of things that have already occurred on screen? Why were all my posts deleted?

Because not everyone is caught up. Use spoiler tags.

...that's not the etiquette and never has been on this forum. If you're not up to date on the show/movie/series (or simply not paying attention), it's on you not to participate in the thread until you are.

Carry on then. Ask moderator@texags.com, they don't much like being called out on threads.
