You guys have to separate it. It’s not Game of Thrones and you have to stop comparing it and contrasting it. It has its own identity.
This episode was fine. It was all politicking and polidicking, literally. Everyone is trying to make their moves to get the crown next and it’s all playing out. The Hand, the Sea Snake, the Princess, the Queen, Daemon ….. all went straight dirty politics and Daemon polidicked his own niece to try and be king.
This episode was like plenty of GoT episodes over the years, especially early to middle seasons with all the Little Finger politics
It’s always going to get compared to got, that’s inevitable. And it should be, the show was marketed clearly as a game of thrones prequel. It doesn’t get to simultaneously gain the benefits of that and skirt around being substantially worse than got
And the difference between the politics here and in got is the quality of the characters. Little finger is leagues more interesting than anyone in this show and he wasn’t even one of the best characters
