Trivia
Viserys is a dragon rider. He was the last person to ride the dragon Balerion, known as the Black Dread. Balerion was the dragon ridden by Aegon the Conqueror during the Targaryen conquest of Westeros. Balerion had been the only surviving dragon from Old Valyria, having hatched before the Targaryens fled to Dragonstone. Unlike many other Targaryen dragons, Balerion died of old age rather than in battle. He lived for around 200 years.

Quotes
Laena Velaryon: Your Grace. It would be a great honour to join our houses, as they were in old Valyria. I would give you many children, of pure Valyrian blood, so that we might strengthen the royal line and the realm.
King Viserys Targaryen: Is that what your father told you to say?
[a pause. Laena does not reply]
King Viserys Targaryen: What did your mother tell you?
Laena Velaryon: That I wouldn't have to bed you until I turn fourteen.

Building!

I know we are only two episodes in but this is building so well! The cast is so small and yet you can only feel that something big is about to blow up.

When I read the book I was not really fussed and when they announced the show, I was baffled, why would they make this a show and not the Night King back story... I do take the latter back after these episodes. Gripping and excellent all round. (I still want a Night King story).

The cinematography on DragonStone Bridge is hands down incredible! The setting of the mid-day, hazy sun.... Wow... the intensity of the scene to top it off.

Safe to say, HoD is performing well and I look forward to how this show plays out.
