Ya that was really good.
The last scene with the dragons was deadly.
It's set itself up great for the next season.

Finally a properly good episode, right at the end. Dragon on dragon action, but still a predictable ending. Hopefully it picks up in the next season, but sure we'll all watch it anyway.

Cracking finale. Show really has come together in the last 3 episodes. Episode 9 standout for me. Visersys walking to reclaim the throne best scene. Show runner said in a recent interview Season 1 is the world building. A lot more carnage in season 2.

Last three episodes have been brilliant. Finale was good alright.

Watched the last three episodes last night. Certainly picked up a bit there but I enjoyed the whole season. Will likely give it all another run before the next one.


Would recommend revisiting last episode of House of Dragon before starting S2, at least if you only watched it once. We were a little lost for most of the first ep here  :laugh:

I completely forgot it was out now so I'll take your advice there and get the end of the last season in before I go for it


***SPOILERS***






That new episode was class! I was hoping Ser Cristan wouldn't be alive by the end, that cunt annoys me and I'd love to see him get a proper good battering!

I wasn't too fond of Aemond after he got his eye patch, but he's a right little schemer and he has grown on me. I thought he might have went a Jamie Lanister route and become a good guy... doesn't seem likely now  :laugh:

The dragon fight was great entertainment, if not somewhat predictable... had a feeling that Rhaenys wasn't going to come back. Got proper jittery waiting for Aemond to deliver the final strike, and kind of hoped that he wouldn't. Not gonna lie it was pretty exciting  :laugh: 
But I don't see why they couldn't have sent two dragons? If Aemond had fallen too, the Greens would be properly fucked and the war might have finished?

That crippled Master of Whispers lad doesn't miss a beat. Be interesting to see what roles himself and yer wan Mysaria have yet to play and which sides they will remain on.

Seems like Allicent has a bit more grieving to do anyway. She's not gonna like it when the lads tell her that it was Aemond's dragon that took Aegon down.

I've no idea what Daemon is going to go. He's fannying about and losing his mind.

I thought overall the first season was dire, despite the pick up towards the end.

In no hurry to tune in to season 2. Maybe I should give it a shot, but I'm a notoriously cuntish critic. Any wokist shite crowbarred in and I'm gone.

Hard to beat the first few years of GoT. Jesus, when you think back..... sensational.

S2 is just grand so far, will prob start picking up now though.

***SPOILERS***

Flaccid finale. The usual setting it up for next season etc. But in terms of action, that was 3-4 episodes of fuck all.

I'll still tune in for season 3 when it comes, but I wouldn't have minded a bit more action in this episode. Bit of a downer when you realise that there is about half the episode still left and you know that it's just going to be talking and whatnot.

Overall, yeah enjoyable season but definitely slow in places. Did it really need to take Daemon almost a whole season to stick his hand in a fucking tree?

It was 2 episodes too long but I enjoyed the season overall. Sets next season up nicely.

Zzzzzz to that finale.

Too much of this looks and feels like some BBC fantasy production for young adults. That mud wrestling scene, christ, the absolute state of it in absolutely every single respect. A few good moments, but way too up itself in the "epic" stakes for its actual quality.
