S02e04 of house of the dragon is pretty good

Even though you know what's about to happen it's still quite impactful when it does.
Only trouble is that the characters getting killed are the interesting ones.lemonhead wrote: Sun Jul 14, 2024 10:25 amEven though you know what's about to happen it's still quite impactful when it does.
S01 was a bit flabby but they've tightened things up considerably so far, been quietly impressed given the lack of source material. Assume GRRM is leaning heavily on the script.
Not the same, absolutely. A hundred tonnerth of extras and spectacle doesn't come close to compareUncle fester wrote: Sun Jul 14, 2024 12:03 pmOnly trouble is that the characters getting killed are the interesting ones.lemonhead wrote: Sun Jul 14, 2024 10:25 amEven though you know what's about to happen it's still quite impactful when it does.

Overall, there's no characters anywhere near as good or interesting or 3D as GOT.

And although I've avoided reading up on the backstory you kinda get the impression everybody really does die this time. But enjoying for what it is. S7 and 8 of thrones almost put me off the damn thing for good.
Not a good look for him. There's plenty of iffy stuff with HOTD but this is not it.Brazil wrote: Thu Sep 05, 2024 8:16 am GRRM Speaks! (about something nobody gives a shit about):
