Huh, so Jace threw the dirt, and Luke went in for the slash. I totally missed that.

Guess that makes the last episode make a lot more sense now.
Was also why Aemond was mainly targeting Luke with the trash talking at the big feast, and when Luke laughed at the pig Aemond decided to escalate

I also was not aware that almost all of this dialogue was written specifically for the show, I would have guessed it was pulled from Martin himself. They did a great job of emulating his style of writing, I think.

Am I the only one that thought this was incredibly underwhelming and didn't care about any of the characters?

Agree. It is my least favorite of the new 3 shows. (Andor, LOTR, HoD). Although it's still better than most.

It thought is was pretty good. They took their time with the set up and developing the characters which was a good thing, IMO. It's certainly 1000X better than the garbage show on Amazon.

George is credited as one of the writers for this episode. Now, I don't know if that means he sat in the writers room or if it's simply bc it's based on his book.

I really believe I enjoyed this season of House of the Dragon better than any season of Game of Thrones. I think because the world is smaller for HotD, and allows for a tighter story (so far).

I think if they knew the show would land with the audience as well as it did, they would have made some changes to the timeline they opted for the show.
Either let some of the time jumps last longer, or maybe even skip one, to make it easier for people to form attachments to characters and better understand who is who.

Was the baby that didn't make it one of the half dragon half human ones that Alt Shift X has talked about before? I swear I saw some scale like features. Although, if they wanted to go that way, I suppose they would have made it more obvious and I really don't want to go back and watch that again to look for clues.

You're the only one to watch all 10 hours and complain about it at least.

wouldnt mind getting my wife started on GOT/HOD

but i really think got is the way to start.

she is not much into fantasy/sci fi at all, but i think the drama is interesting enough that she might watch it with me.

but i think both started really slowly.

poll - would you start a newbie on GOT? or HOD?

I personally think that though they both started slow, the way GOT brought the dragons along was INCREDIBLE.... and this show they dont look as well filmed in CGI and they are kind of taken for granted.


Maybe a horse being brutally killed to a woman is a lot like a graphic birth scene is to a man.


You may be on to something here. I have zero recollection of the horse killings, but I'll never forget those birth scenes!

It did take me a few minutes to figure out what horse we were talking about.

So it's only considered an opinion if you loved it, but if you didn't think it was the greatest thing in the last decade it's considered complaining?

Are you replying to the right person? His post is just about what a great performance the actors gave.

I'm not sure how they messed it up, given the other person replied to their own post.

Is that when they chop the horses head off and it winds up in the bed of some Italian mobster?

My wife freaks out when horses "die" on a show. And I think I had the discussion with someone here about watching Apocalypse Now in high school when all the girls in my class cried out thinking a puppy was about to get shot, but didn't say a word when the innocent civillains on the boat were raked with machine gun fire.

George used his credit card to order a 76-course feast for the writers while he explained to them why it's important for Fake Aegon to continue making an alliance with the 3rd and 4th Sand Snakes before reuniting iwth Jon Connington, who wanted to bone Rhaegar it seems, in the opening scene of The Winds of Winter. He's written the first 7 pages of the new book so far.

Reading his reaction to the series on the Not-A-Blog from earlier this month, I think it's just that he wrote Fire and Blood. At most, I'd imagine he read and edited the scripts.

Texags on Chrome now has ads that take up the whole screen and you have to scroll all the way through it to get rid of it and it moved the post I meant to reply to.

Good stuff, especially with the analysis of maps and houses. Although he is incorrectly saying the dragon Daemon went to in the cave was Cannibal (not Vermithor).

The mountains horse. I think there was another before Dany eating the entire horse heart. The horse being slaughter to bring back khal drago. The horse dying as they making their way to quarth.

I had also not really cared about a horse dying and it was a blip on the screen. However, my wife was brought to tears.

Yeah, Stannis didn't have the owner's manual and missed out on a great feature.

So if you break down what this war is largely about in the end, it's two women feeling their kids had been wronged. And anyone on the planet knows that's nit who you mess with.
let me just say, it's just terrific that tens of thousands will die horrible deaths, entire kingdoms wiped out/bankrupted..

because one part of the family wants to have a bigger castle.

and by the way... WHO IS PAYING FOR ALL THESE SOLDIERS AND CASTLES AND SERVANTS?!!

Raenyra says they have like 300 people with her - who pays the salaries for these people?! you never actually see massive farms and communities of citizens other than Kings Landing.

it would be nice if all the related clansmen from Raenara and Alicent all killed each other off

and left the innocent citizens alone
