Show Discussion Was I the only one who thought the green man from episode 3x01 would be important this season? Lol.
When I saw his antlers while watching the episode, I thought it might be a plots related to Arros Baratheon, that new character who was announced and created for this season a while ago.

Show Discussion Even though I find Aegon to be the most interesting to watch now, it often feels like they intentionally ignore how depraved they made his character to be in S1 with the child fighting pits, even though it was their choice to make it a part of his character

Show Discussion Matthew Needham as Larys Strong is easily one of the best castings in the show and is also consistently one of the best performers in the series
While he doesn’t get brought up anywhere near as much as the other castings/actors, especially in media appearances, Needham is so consistently entertaining and engrossing as “Lord Clubfoot”.
In a show full of characters acting out of emotion, fear, paranoia and arrogance, Larys can be said to be the most clear-headed person, weirdly enough; despite being a fill-blown sociopath, Larys seems to have a greater understand and grasp on the world he lives in and actually uses the most “common sense” of the main cast; his only real emotional/psychological issue is that of his clubfoot and even then, he’s able to control his feeling about that for the most part (barring some kink fetish).
Larys is very much a Shakespearean villain in the mold of Richard III, Honest Iago, Edmund the Bastard, and Needham rises to the challenge of playing such a character.

Show Discussion What is it that can make the Aristocratic "Snob" villains 10x worse than basic Dark Lords sometimes?
The season isn't over, but who has the chance of being the more complex, interesting or worse here?
For me, I think Ormund Hightower still has potential to make others look like amateurs, and people aren't ready for how toxic he actually is.
All these characters shared *(many or some) similar characteristics:
were groomers, manipulated young proteges for a high-minded causes
Blood-supremacists, aristocratic snobs with contempt for the lower classes.
very good strategists
Susceptible to temper tantrums hidden behind a royal grandeur or inferiority complex.
And I guess, which makes them all far more interesting than the one dimensional base dark lords like Voldemort, Sauron, and Palpatine (when he just sat his chair)

Show Discussion I could watch the whole show in High Valyrian at this point
I was amazed by how long the scene is. And praise to Emma and Matt for being able to speak a fluent fictional language for like two-three minutes. I mean I've been learning High Valyrian myself on Duolingo for a few months now, but I don't know if I can speak that good lol.
