Two years is a LONG FUCKING TIME to wait for episode 9... but holy shit!

Watching the press tour, seeing Jace's actor, "Oh, I wonder what he'll get up to this season?" As soon as he locked his mother away I knew he was doomed. Also drowning a dragon is diabolical. I loved that he got away the first time. Then just slowly falling into the water. Jace escapes, then gets Robb'ed. RIP Jace. RIP Vermax.

Also Sheepstealer is why you don't bring a nuke to a knife fight. We ballin' fuck everybody else.

And of course shout out to Alyn of Hull for stepping up. I did a rewatch before this season and one of the last discussions he had was about not wanting to be in charge. I'm not confident Corlys is dead, but he'll be proud if he isn't.

Also Aemond kissing Alicent. Wild. Her face says so much.

Sheepstealer seems more like a case of why you don't go to battle before you've completed basic training. Seems very much what you'd expect from a dragon you only just managed to mount with great difficulty.

I wonder how much Rhaena really knew about "wild dragons". All the other dragons she grew up around bonded quickly with their rider. When Aemond bonded with Vhagar he took right off to the sky. And while she didn't see it, she must have heard of Ulf bonding with a dragon and almost immediately taking off to fly over King's Landing.

Plus she also arrived at Dragonstone to see a battle and made a game time decision.
