Driftmark

Well this part moved at very fast pace. The unusual relationship between daemon and rhenyra has been officialised in this part. The clear evidence of green vs black's war is shown in this season.

The prophecies are important part of the story and in this one you'll see one truelly happening.so from next time I ll pay more attention to Helena because everytime she speaks it will be the climax of next episode. The screenplay is very smooth.dialogues are compact and poetic while you are watching please focus the dialogue between daemon and rhenyra where daemon says "at least i got a chance to mourn " The only negative point was the lighting. There is already lot of comments and memes circulated about the bad lighting. Overall a joy to watch.

To see the famous Eye for an Eye scene adapted so flawlessly on my screen was a sight to behold. I have been waiting for this scene since the show was announced 3 years ago and it does not disappoint. Everybody delivers in this episode, but for me the stand outs were Aemond, Alicent & Viserys. Watching Olivia Cooke in that episode was exactly how i envisioned Alicent to be, from the hair, to the costumes, to the dialogue, she truly shined tonight. The show looked gorgeous tonight, including the night scenes, i've seen some complaints about how dark it was and people couldn't see, i hate to tell you but those are your TV settings, not the show, these are the clearest night scenes they have ever done, it looked great on my TV.

Best episode of the season hands down. While i have enjoyed every episode of the season thus far, i can understand people's frustrations and confusion with the constant time jumps, the good news is that the time jumps are officially over next week and i'm ready for the main story to begin with the tensions at an all time high!

This episode is just perfect in every way.

More and more characters are showing their true colors, people claiming other dragons for themselves, stabbings and backstabbings, seeds of a civil war being sown, relationship dynamics of pretty much everyone changing.

This is the episode where ish really hit the fans and characters stop being coy and show their true intentions to each other, especially Rhaenyra and Alicent.

I really loved that the twists kept coming and multiple times throughout the episode, even till the end, the character we were rooting for just 3 minutes ago does something and becomes a pos immediately, and it shows that none of the characters here, at least the main ones, is that good and all of them are drowning in depravity as Rhaenyra herself said.

Last episode that we were introduced to the children, they were mostly side characters and had a less direct impact on the events of the episode and the show as a whole, but in this episode they're pretty much the main characters as they start a domino effect of a series of unfortunate events that escalates quickly and is gonna change the course of history.

Everything in this episode was pretty much perfect, from the direction and the pacing which got more intense and escalated as the episode went on, to the acting, music, and cinematography, and the great twists and the writing. Though the CGI isn't perfect, it is still acceptable and I'm sure this season definitely doesn't have the budget that GOT had for later seasons. It is still really good, but it's still noticeable in scenes where people are flying a dragon.

All in all, this was a great and enjoyable episode and the starter of a chain reaction that will presumably lead to even more intense episodes and events in the following episodes.

After introducing us to a new cast, this episode gets under way in explaining the relationships between not just the Rhaenyra/Alicent but more important they're families. It leads to a lot of suspense, a great climax and you see further division between the families and one of the coolest parts: start to see how young characters understand the game of thrones and their affinity or lack thereof for playing it.

I see lots of complaints about the show saying how there is no tension, how the show is a soap opera, and focuses only on families. A lot of the complaints compare this show to GoT, saying there's too much talking and that nothing happens. To anyone complaining, you realize Westeros is at peace right? No one is at war? So people aren't looking to kill each other.. yet. The very reason there is so much fighting in GoT is because dragons and Targaryens are gone in Westeros. So give the show time, and realize that is a different show, just as Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad are different. Great acting, great production, great writing.

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Driftmark", a 7th episode of "House of Dragon" was a superb because it moved story forward in a dramatic way (no spoilers). Sometime one spark causes things to move. And talking about dysfunctional families - they got nothing on this family we are seeing.

I loved the mood of this episode. It was dark, and you can see and feel how the clouds are becoming darker over heads of this family. Alliances are being made and friends becoming even closer.

Overall, 7 episodes into this show i really like it. Haven't read any of the books but i love quality television, and "House of Dragon" is one to admire.
