Plenty of action! Not much all out battle or swordplay, fair enough, but two scenes in particular were all about action.

Bit of a curve ball episode. Hard to predict exactly what way it'll go which is very much a good thing. That was a great scene.

Thought that was a good episode.
I just thought the time jumps in the season were badly done. They killed off that crab king way too quickly. Thought there could have been a cool character there.

Quote from: Grim Reality on October 03, 2022, 10:43:33 PMJust think back to the brilliant characters that littered GoT. From Eddard Stark and John Snow and the crew at the Wall, all the Lannisters, every little side character, I can't remember the names but Jesus it was packed with class villains and well acted by all. This is muck by comparison. Yes they are building a bit of a story of power struggle etc etc but it's nothing to watch at all at all.

I get what you're saying but I don't think it's fair to compare them like that. GoT was based on a story that sprawls a lot of territory and is written across five books (so far). House of the Dragon is based on one book that focuses specifically on the history of House Targaryen.

That latest episode was definitely worth watching anyway!

Rhaenyra and Daemon are not fucking, but making sweet, sweet love.....

A decent episode at last but it's still more of a chore than a pleasure to wstch. I'll finish this season but unless it improves dramatically, it'll be ditched then.

Today's and last week's episodes have picked it up a bit. I'm finally starting to care about plotlines, characters, and all the complicated politics. Looking forward to seeing Daemon and Rhaenyra's reaction to the events of this week's episode.


That was a great episode, really well filmed, lots of tension of all sorts throughout.

That episode was fantastic. All the threads coming together. Brilliantly filmed and the score was beautiful. Theres going to be bloodshed next week id say.

Think the show as a whole is brilliant. Respective to the canon and has the best parts of the court politics on GoT but obviously not as gritty and charming.

Rewatched the last episode again last night. Jesus its class. The tension throughout was top notch. Have to say Rhys Ifans is class in it.

Aye, Rhys Ifans has been excellent in it since the beginning. Even better than Considine imo.

He sure is. Considine has got better as it went along.
