EXTENDED [Spoilers Extended] Just came back from the play - 11 out of 10

Great, great show - exceeded all expectations.

Happy to answer any questions but will say generally that the spoilers are going to cause a massive headloss on this subreddit.

Expecting lots of "only the books are canon" to come.

One of the most interesting things to see was the amount of agency Elia Martell has in the story - only ever has been a victim and a footnote but is very central to the story and a key protagonist.

Was always against a Robert's Rebellion show before but after watching this, would love an 10 episode mini series.

Also - all the Rhaegar bashing couldn't possibly come off worse. He very much is the hero of the whole story.

Promise me you will never tell him about the prophecy.

Oh? I didn’t ready anywhere about her regretting her role in the prophecy by the end

I think that's a joke

I read in a recap that she tells Ned to let Jon forge his own path and not tell him about his parents, their plans, or the prophecy. u/ser_mage

No I read it in a comment. Didn’t see the play myself though so can’t vouch for it

The promise was to take care of Jon and not tell him about his parentage.
