Great scene! Great premier episode!

Looking forward to the series.

And it seems, so are many others.

A Lotta People Watched House of the Dragon (Game of Thrones prequel premier breaks ratings record for HBO)

There was a similar scene in the 1991 movie, Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, starring Kevin Costner as Robin Hood with a California accent.

The abortion was performed by a noble muslim character played by Morgan Freeman, who sliced open the belly of the wife one of Robin Hood's band of merry men. Of course it was heroic, empathic music swelled, the mother was soon seen lovingly snuggling the baby, and there was no onscreen hemorrhage. Because Hollywood.

and saving the prospective heir to his throne should the child be a boy. ‘Viserys’ chose to try and save the child, which meant putting his ‘Aemma’ through an absolutely pre-medieval C-section:

Future ruler born via Caesarian section. Where have I heard that before? Oh, it was Julius Caesar legendarily born by the procedure named for him. And from literature there was McDuff "from his mother's womb / Untimely ripped".

Actually an ectopic pregnancy would justify an abortion

I watched it last night. My only thoughts during the c-section scene were “ how that baby and mother could’ve been saved with modern medicine.
I don’t know if I’ll watch any more episodes.
The jousting scene was pretty good. I was hoping the king’s evil prince brother would get skewered, but he survived to plot another day.
Maybe I WILL continue to watch it.
It certainly is a counterpoint to “Resident Alien”…🙂

“However, in the time period of the show, about 110 A.D...”

You shouldn’t be allowed to write about GoT or spinoffs if you aren’t even aware that they are not set on planet earth, and do not use the Roman calendar.

The morally depraved vs. the morally depraved.

Like the envirowhackos pushing electric cars vs. envirowhackos opposing mining for the elements necessary for them to exist.
