House of the dragon. Game on! (1 Viewer)

Well, you know the episode was largely another snoozer when there’s not a single post about it.
I thought it was more entertaining than lasts weeks but still just a story mover. Seems to be a lot of that with this series, gotta sit through 3 episodes to get one that has some action.
At its peak, this is exactly what GOT was. One, maybe two action scenes a season.

I think it’s gotten so predictable. We all know they give us some cheese early and the last two episodes. You really gotta work those pens for episodes 3-7 and it’s been shaky at best.
I didn't see Rhaenyra and the White Worm making out coming so that was a nice surprise.
I just hope it goes somewhere…….like Mysaria is manipulating her for a reason. If it’s just……hey this will be cool……meh.

Pivotal to the story.

:mellow:

It could be pivotal. Remember that Rhaenyra is so horny she was openly banging Harwin Strong in King's Landing and her affair with him produced the kids which directly caused this entire horrible war. She has that insatiable Targ sex drive that can't be quelled. Daeneyrs Targ was the same - always with one bed-warmer or another. With Daemon out of town, Rhaenyra was losing her Fire and Blood mojo. I think there's a change on the horizon now that she's getting some action.
 
i know there are supernerds out there who dissect every little thing about this show but i like it and would probably only like it more if raineera could get hannibal from the a team on her squad then a plan would come together and it would probably involve strobe lights and it would be freeking awesome take that to the bank brohans

It's almost impossible for me to like this post anymore than I already do.

Afraid to read due to spoilers but has it gotten better? Haven't been motivated to catch up on the last three episodes :sleep:

I mean there is some significant character development going on. But I’d grab an edible on some random weekend evening and just binge them.

I'll eventually power through it. Unfortunately, I gave up the trees so getting lost in shows like is much more challenging whilst sober :kicksrock:

I'm bad at reading sarcasm, but this was one plot point that was etched in stone the second she showed up.
 
And I'm usually a fan of character development, story building, slower episodes... But let's get on with it already. Daemons fever dreams served their point and were old a couple weeks ago. We got a Stark in ep 1, teased wth that scene in "previously" segment, and bupkis with Starks. This seems to have turned into the wait to see who the new dragon riders are season.

Seriously? My wife and I saw that and the Milli Vanilli dragon rider coming from a mile away.

I assumed it would be the other brother, but yeah.

:lol: we only made the Milli Vanilli pick up this episode.

Any woman of color on a cable TV show is automatically made to be a lesbian. It's a tired, really overplayed thing. Black woman cop? Forget it. I'm including racially ambiguous advisor here.
 
And I'm usually a fan of character development, story building, slower episodes... But let's get on with it already. Daemons fever dreams served their point and were old a couple weeks ago. We got a Stark in ep 1, teased wth that scene in "previously" segment, and bupkis with Starks. This seems to have turned into the wait to see who the new dragon riders are season.

Maybe the season ends with the Starks crossing the Freys Bridge....and it's like GAME ON!!!

PREVIOUSLY, ON DRAGONS... ubiquitous scene from Ep1 with the Stark guy who otherwise hasn't featured at all...but wait there's more! Sick kid and parents too!
 
Also, I’m sure we’ll find out for sure next episode but how was the black sea guy (brother of guy that saved the husband of the princess lady that died when on her dragon) able to ride SeaSmoke?

He doesn’t have Targaryen blood, does he? Even if he was a ******* child of the guy with grey dreds, that guy had no Targaryen blood (only married into it).
I read that his great-great grandmother is a Targaryen. I think technically Corlys could also ride a dragon but he has never tried.

Yeah, and google says his family is, like the Targaryens, also from Valyria, so maybe that helps?

They did a decent job with payoffs in S1, but the treatment of too many of these characters feels like the GoT showrunners are guiding them. People like Deamond too much, so they are subverting our expectations by making his story so boring and meandering. People are excited about seeing Cregan Stark, so they tease it in the first episode and leave it alone.

Thinking this season is going to end with the dragons claimed and all the houses and armies declared. Setting up for the battles in season 3.

Typically with GOT the second-to-last episode each season had a big wow-moment. I'm sure there's one big battle scene coming in the next two episodes, but would agree its likely going to have an unsatisfying ending that is more about setting up season 3 than anything else. Its an epic story they are telling and are doing a decent job imo, just now coming up on the half-way point.
 
Still enjoying this a lot even though the Deamon scenes are stretching out a little bit. There is a lot of drama going down, and character development. I like the setup of Loras Strong vs. Aemon on the Greens side, that small council meeting scene was fantastic.
 
What the deal with Hugh, the bearded guy with the sick kid? He keeps getting minutes but did they connect him to anything other than him building weapons for the king for free?

He claimed to be of Targaryen blood in the bar prior to Aegon walking in. Speculation is he will be on dragonback in short order.

I think this character kind of had a dual role. He's a potential dragon rider, but he was also used to set up the plotline where the people of KL are going hungry and slowly turning on the Greens. Its kind of clumsy - with R sending the food to them and the scuffle involving Alicent and Heleana last week - but an obvious plot point that is leading to something.

It's funny because it's true!

Was that the same guy?
I thought it was a different guy too. Think he was in the last episode listening to Aemond’s cuddle buddy complain about the Greens in the bar.

Same guy. They definitely tightened up his look though in these last episodes. If you google Hugh Hammer you may get more information than you’d like.

Not the same guy. The bearded guy I'm talking about ganked some dude for this carrots. The other guy doesn't have a beard and claims to have Targaryen lineage.
