I’ve been watching this and I am really looking forward to the finalé.
overall, I wish they hadn’t done the first timeline shift. I much preferred the original actors and felt there was still loads of story to be told that they brushed over.
That being said, episode 9 was amazing. I really enjoyed it, but was a little bit disappointed in the final scene:
Princess Rhaenys should have just torched them all with her dragon.
That would have been truer to the classic GRRM style IMO.
What sets apart the best of GRRM’s writing is the bits you think it will play out in the anticlimactic way like most other classic dramas because that’s the safer route, and then the plot throws caution to the wind and says “the hell with it!” and takes the explosive route instead.
At the end of episode 9, they set us up as if they were going to do that, and then chickened out instead. A disappointing end to an otherwise amazing episode.

GRRMartin said it might be 18 months instead of 24 months (although that still puts it in 2024). It’s tempting me to get the book instead. The same thing happened with Game of Thrones, I loved the first season so much I had read all the books by the time the second season came along.
