Fans joked about what gave this show its dramatic tension, including some subjects that sounded objectively unexciting on paper. However, they felt that Toussaint's performance lent the gravity needed.

Many fans got the sense that Toussaint would not be the weak point in Corlys Velaryon's story. However, they worried that the writers would struggle to do the whole thing justice -- especially if the spinoff was greenlit.

Just by looking at him I already know Lord Corlys is gonna do some very headass things. Gonna be very Ned Stark-esque and gonna get himself stabbed https://t.co/ySmMjECq1n

Fans who hadn't read Fire & Blood had some bold predictions for Corlys and some preconceptions about what type of character he would be.

Viewers live-tweeting the show were quick to take Corlys' side in the first Small Council scene. Many felt that his warnings paralleled the council's conversations about Daenerys in Game of Thrones.

I’m so excited the GOT fans will get a chance to experience the Sea Snake tonight. One of my favorite characters and one of the true legends of Westeros. If you’ve read the Princess & The Queen or Fire & Blood you all ready know. #HouseoftheDragon #HouseVelaryon

Fans of Fire & Blood were already hyped for Corlys, but they were extra excited to see how the general populous would feel about him.

Finally, some fans were sensing early that Corlys and his wife Rhaenys (Eve Best) would be the comic relief for this show, in a sense, as their frank conversations together brought a little levity to these serious scenes. House of the Dragon airs on Sunday nights at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max.
