TangledThorns Posted March 21, 2024 Posted March 21, 2024 I'm gonna watch it but I'm not wholly invested in it like I was with the og GoT. Quote
Mog Posted March 21, 2024 Posted March 21, 2024 At least, there’s a book ending we can all compare it to. So, if it enhances the story and adds more depth, awesome. But if it strays too far off, then we can scream bloody hell murder and dracarys the whole lot of them. Quote

Duke Togo Posted May 15, 2024 Posted May 15, 2024 Watching the new trailer I am left wondering if this is moving faster than I thought it was. Quote

505thAirborne Posted June 17, 2024 Posted June 17, 2024 Did anyone else watch House of the Dragon tonight? Quote
jvmacross Posted June 17, 2024 Author Posted June 17, 2024 Wanted to but just barely winding down the Father's Day festivities...so going to postpone watching until tomorrow....any good? Quote

azrael Posted June 17, 2024 Posted June 17, 2024 Non-spoiler comments. I thought next week would be where the events of this episode's ending were going to take place. I guess next week will be... Reveal hidden contents (the very short and uneventful) Assault on Harrehal, the civil war in the Riverlands, the removal of Otto Hightower as Hand, and maybe the duel of the Twins. Quote
Mog Posted June 18, 2024 Posted June 18, 2024 So, I read up on books vs show differences for this week’s ep. Reveal hidden contents Sounds like the book version is pretty brutal and puts Helaena into a far worse scenario. And as if my “Eff the Greens” stance needed more incentive, you got Ser Cole being one of the biggest hypocrites ever with his, ahem, “encounters” with the Queen Mum. Quote
Duke Togo Posted June 18, 2024 Posted June 18, 2024 Thought this was an excellent start to the second season. And I much prefer the new opening over the one used in season one, which I always found hard to follow. Quote
Duke Togo Posted June 24, 2024 Posted June 24, 2024 Really solid second episode, with some real excitement at the end. I haven't reread Fire & Blood or The World of Ice & Fire in a long while, so I'm enjoying being surprised by things I only half remember, at best. Quote
azrael Posted June 24, 2024 Posted June 24, 2024 I liked that ending... Reveal hidden contents a real emotional Brother vs Brother fight unlike the last one. Harrenhal, war the in the Riverlands and lots of lords losing their heads coming up. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 25, 2024 Author Posted June 25, 2024 During... Reveal hidden contents ...the funeral procession...I was actually thinking that the show was going to 'go there'....referring to the scene where the horse drawn casket gets 'stuck' and the camera kept switching between the baby with it's head sewn getting shaken about and the mother having a nervous breakdown....glad they didn't...it would have been too much... Quote
Duke Togo Posted July 1, 2024 Posted July 1, 2024 Episode 3, the show continues to fire on all cylinders this season. If I had one complaint this episode, it's that Reveal hidden contents I don't buy Rhaenyra being able to sneak into the sept to meet with Allicent; however, the scene was so good I didn't mind the need to suspend my disbelief. Quote
Mog Posted July 2, 2024 Posted July 2, 2024 Just finished this week’s ep. They haven’t exactly done much to make the Green’s sympathetic. Quote
505thAirborne Posted July 2, 2024 Posted July 2, 2024 (edited) Season 2 has been really good so far, looking forward to next Sunday! Reveal hidden contents By the way, hats off to the producers for taking a Brothel scene that one-ups anything from GoT... yikes!! Edited July 2, 2024 by 505thAirborne Quote

azrael Posted July 8, 2024 Posted July 8, 2024 We're now at the half-way point of the season. Reveal hidden contents Definitely thinking we will end this season on the Fall of King's Landing. Quote

azrael Posted July 8, 2024 Posted July 8, 2024 Reveal hidden contents On top of being a kinslayer, Aemond almost became sibling-slayer. Almost. Now we get to see Aegon, the opioids user. Quote
Mog Posted July 10, 2024 Posted July 10, 2024 (edited) ^^Technically, Reveal hidden contents ol’ one-eye is a kinslayer twice over. Sad to see Rhaenys die. But it was quite the scene to see the dragons throw down with each other. Edited July 10, 2024 by Mog Quote
Duke Togo Posted July 15, 2024 Posted July 15, 2024 (edited) I now see how this story is going to play out over four seasons. The pacing of it. I'm not sure I like what they're doing with Daemon. Based on this episode. Season 1 Daemon pretty much fit what I saw the character as, but I'm not on board with where they're taking him now. Assuming they continue in this direction with him (which they may not!). To be specific, I don't like the idea Reveal hidden contents that he's turning on Rhaenyra. Thinking about being king himself, sure. But actually acting on it? They have to turn him back from this. Edited July 15, 2024 by Duke Togo Quote

What is in the books, what happens on screen, 2 versions of the same story because it isn't told by the people who performed the deed but by people who were 3rd party witnesses, hearsay, with a touch of embellishment from the writer.
