I just finished watching the pilot episode of #HOTD and all I can say is that it is bloody good to be back in Westeros again. Fantastic beginning and it took me back to 2011 when #GOT first aired. Goosebumps all over again. Can’t wait for the madness to unravel. #HOTDonHotstar

When Viserys mentions Aegon’s dream as ‘The Song of Ice and Fire’ to Rhaenyra with Ramin Djawadi kicking in with the surreal score, it’s just plain goosebumps. Looks like #HOTD is not shying away from anything and it’s going to be much bigger. My watch begins. #HOTDonHotstar
