King Renly, seen for the first time with his queen, Margaery Tyrell.
And then, rising from the froth and foam and salt, the Priest of the Drowned God, Aeron Damphair, with his weak-willed nephew Theon Greyjoy.
My image of the Damphair involved a thin, haggard, intense religious fanatic who might be a zombie. But whatever. It might make more sense to have him be fat with the sea's bloat. More importantly, let us resolve never to be one of those lames who derides Game of Thrones for insufficient fidelity to A Song of Ice And Fire. ("... WHERE'S STANNIS' BEARD??????") This team presented a masterful (and surprisingly literal) translation of the first book. I will trust it with all seven, by The Seven.
Nope, can't handle it.
FAT DAMPHAIR JUST RUINED MY EARLY-TO-MID-20S

Even at this early stage, I'm sweating how they'll handle the dragons. CGI lameness works OK when they're babies, but as they get older/terrifying I hope they go with a Jaws approach: always just off-screen, quick shots of scales and fire. Threatening but looming just out of view...always looming.

Eh,
the Damphair used to be a lush, it can still work.

Apparently it's just some random priest. Crisis averted.
