i like a lot of the changes they've made, and that one is fine too. i could go either way on it, but it humanizes aemond as not a complete monster, at this point anyway. kinda feels like it's going that way, especially now because he will be blamed for this, but i don't really see how it's a better story if he's just pure evil from the jump basically.

Aemond is a fan favorite among casuals because he's been shown as the opposite of Aemon so far. They wanted him to not be a monster too, but he is.

Also garbage people are mad Daemon choked Rhaenyra. This entire universe is so ruined by tv idiots.

You realise all the episodes were written/shot before anyone knew X would be a fan favourite or regarded in a certain way.

You are being ridiculous.

The miscarriage scene was weird. Why would she not let the nurses help her? And why the multiple quick cuts to images of dragons while she was pushing to get the baby out?

I swear for a minute I thought a dragon was gonna come out, Rosemary's Baby style.

her baby had dragon features in the books, so that's probably it. some of the targaryens have these stillborn dragon babies throughout their lineage (dany had one too). something related to how dragons where connected to the targaryen in old valyria. some say it took some magic & some dragon ****ing.

Didn't like the prop dept cutting corners and making a 2000 page book seem like cardboard box light when held or touched.

No, they both lost control of their dragons.

Yeah they did it for the racial equity and trans rights crowd.

You mean the kind of IDIOTS that think they film one episode per week

Far from a 10/10 finale of a show that's also far from 10/10. Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but this show has a lot of scenes so cringeworthy that I have for real occasionally wondered if they're in fact doing a parody of a "serious" GoT type show.

Having said that, I have somehow -- yes this makes very little sense -- enjoyed this more than GoT. Although I was never high on GoT and still haven't gotten past early season 4 (iirc). That show was just glorified trash, this one at least has some attempts at character development and writing.

I'd give this season a solid 6/10.

Any interaction involving DC and prizm is not to be taken seriously.

People have high expectations after Game of Thrones. This show has certainly not met all of those expectations (especially in regards to characters and acting). Some of the episodes were absolute ****. At times the show has done a poor job of conveying what the producers intended. Some viewers aren't as big into birthing scenes as others.

I do not dislike this show but there are certainly plenty of reasons for someone to dislike it.

I've often found it better than GoT because it has managed to do so on intrigue and dialogue. They haven't had to beat us over the head with battles to keep us interested. A few of the scenes were more tense than anything GoT has ever done. I'm very impressed.

The dialogue is not even 1/10th as good as Game of Thrones.

think most ppl had like no expectations after how got ended. i was fully expecting it to be like seasons 7-8 of got, worth watching once and then forgetting about forever. hotd s1 was obv much better than that, i'd tentatively give it a ~8.5/10. it does some things better than got, some things worse.

also not sure how many ppl have re-watched got recently, because even the early stuff isn't that great. calm down

I just watched seasons 1-3 in their entirety since House of the Dragon started and the early seasons are light years better than House of the Dragon and it's crazy to me that anyone would even dispute this.

I'm also rewatching Sopranos. It keeps me very excited to want see the next episode. House of the Dragon really didn't do that, but to its credit at least I finished it unlike the Lord of the Rings show. I give House of the Dragon a solid 7 out of 10 for season 1 but I do think it finished on an upswing considering the worst episodes were in the earlier part of the season.

HOTD is just bloated and flabby compared to GOT.

GOT delivers deh dramas much more efficiently and HOTD does a fair amount of dramatic thumb twiddling.

We waited for HOTD to come out entirely after E4, because we found week to week was lacking. What a difference it made binging it. 7-8-9-10 is spectacular in a row, truly. You'd be hard pressed to find a better 4 episode run in TV the last few years. There's some, sure. But not many.

I had zero expectations and wasn't even considering watching HOTD. My wife talked me into watching the premiere and it was better than I expected. From there it mostly got better and the 2nd half of the season took the show from good to great. I disagree on GOT, though. I re-watched S1 and it was excellent.

I can understand quitting got, but early s4 seems like an odd place to do so. Do you enjoy other shows/movies in this genre?
