I understand 10 years have passed, but the only time they felt like the same characters was when Rhaenyra told Laenor to bring his boyfriend to Dragonstone.

Yeah this episode lost me a bit.
I thought the aging of the Queen was actually done okay - the actresses at least felt like they had similar mannerisms and personalities. It was realistic that it would just be her, but 10 years more jaded by this point.
Rhaenyra's new actress really lost me though. Didn't have any of that underlying fire or attitude that really was always present in the younger actress. Also the writing lost me a bit (I know there is some pre-written stuff here but still), she came off as very cunning and strategic in her younger days, and now she just seems like she has no sense to even try to be coy.
