Yes but Apple and Amazon both have more money that anybody, you would think they could afford better quality wigs where you cannot see the weave.

True but I read a good piece following the blowback after the first previews for Amazons LOTR series that while companies like Amazon and Apple have all the money they don’t have the infrastructure and experience already in place where as HBO has had Warner Bros backing for like 30+ years and Warner already has warehouses full of costumes and sets and everything else needed to make a movies resources that HBO can easily access. Apple and Amazon is still building up all that stuff up from scratch. Money is important but infrastructure and know how are needed too especially with some of these epic series they are putting together.

Bad hair on FAM? I hadn't noticed.
Somebody on Reddit said that Jimmy looks like an adult version of Chucky and now I can't unsee it.

I agree! There was a really tough scene in there though.
Very much so. I'm excited for the next episode.
One question that I have unreleased to the show per say, is I forget the story of the Mad King. It's been awhile. Anyone care to fill me in? And do the events of this show lead to the Mad King rising?
Also, anyone see the Twitter post about the whole apartment building watching the premiere last night? There is a video where through most of the windows windows the lighting within the apartments are changing in synchronization
I have seen the tweet on the Today Show, but I can't seem to find it via google to share.
Edit: found the same video on Reddit:

Yeah, that was rough. Almost gratuitous. Still enjoyed the ep overall tho.

Mad King Aerys was the last Targaryen on the Iron Throne who was making a mess of things until he was killed by Jaime Lannister, his hand, and the throne deposed by Robert Baratheon. His surviving children, Viserys and Daenerys were banished to Essos, which of course lays the groundwork for GoT. There's a whole subplot with his son Rhaegar who dies before GoT too.
House of the Dragon takes place 200 years before this though, I don't think it'll go that far.

As someone who had to block Sundays for 10 years to watch Game of Thrones, this is a much anticipated show that's going to fill that void inside of me. Especially since GOT fans were handed such an awful end to the series.
Now try watching that scene next to your pregnant wife.

Yeah, my feelings too.
I finally got around to watching HotD and I am liking it so far. I am interested in where it goes. I did read all of the Martin Song of Ice and Fire books, but I didn't read HotD because I heard that it was more of a history text and quite a slog.
Just saw this teaser for the first time. Can't wait!

This show is a gem. Got a huge kick out of the Ocean Spray skateboarding Fleetwood Mac TikTok dude starring in episode 3.
