:35 Luke's theories and thoughts
4:07 Laena's death
6:50 The duel between Daemon and the Sealord of Braavos' son to marry Laena was removed from the story
8:20 More book differences. Would've been cool to see Laena getting her dragon
10:00 Kids are going to be very important after the final time jump
10:34 Intro was updated — Alicent had 4 bloodlines. Where is Daeron Targaryen?
13:13 Rhaenyra definitely should've been banging a guy with blonde hair instead
15:05 Rhaenys Targaryen (in the book) had black hair, so it was more ambiguous with the grandkids' hair color
16:17 Ad break
16:50 Daemon was right. Viserys could overrule Alicent but he's a weak king
17:40 Maester leeches guy is gone, and probably why Viserys is even alive still
