Finding the attempts to tie this series into the GoT white walker arc excruciatingly painful and clunky. The rat catcher episode should have been a lot stronger too. The foreshadowing as early as the midway point of last series... and that's all we got? In the book it was far more savage, in that they forced the queen to pick which child should be killed while both children were awake, only then to kill the other - leaving the 'chosen' child alive and aware their mother loved the other more. They beheaded a child and still it somewhat didn't feel as devastating as it should have. It was more dramatic watching the life drain out of Melys in this week's episode. Agree a punch or two was definitely pulled there . I don’t mind the foreshadowing that was always part of the book, what I am hoping is there is going to be more magic this time. GOTs later seasons would have been much improved if they had followed the books and gave us Lady Stoneheart the actress wanted to do it!! And went proper supernatural even Jon Snows resurrection was less fantastical .

I dont think I'd want to see a child beheaded on primetime tv really, it was shocking enough when they stabbed pregnant Stark gf in GoT. Surely everybody saw one brother kill the other though, so he's the latest Kingslayer? It's a bloody massive dragon!

Ah yes, they made a big fuss of the armour. He just looked like he'd been laid out as if dead? Was the other brother about to finish the job (knife in hand) and then Sir Shagalot Hand of the King, Hands on the Queen turned up? Personally I'd assume he would have killed both of them at that point with no witnesses. Maybe I should see if my local library has the books

Maybe I should see if my local library has the books I reckon he's been melted and sort of like when Lister became part Robocop in Red Dwarf. First cyborg king of Westeros.
