Smallfolk

I still can't believe we waited so long for a whole lot of nothing this season. There are so many sub-par plot points going on that it makes it a chore to get through at times. I hope the writers and creators learn their lesson and concern themselves more about telling a good story and keeping it interesting than virtue signaling. Almost nothing has been gained so far this season except for the battle of Rook's Rest. It shouldn't be hard to make a compelling series with such great source material but here we are. Can't say I'm excited for the next episode now if we stay on this track. Very disappointed.

I happens rarely, but this is the second time in the entire series, that I used the fast forward function in some scenes.

It wasn´t bad but it also wasn´t good either. I don´t care about action as long as there is either real character development, a clever or catchy story development, the introduction of something you feel that really matters or anything with a bit of special wit, charm other something that would be genuinly simply exciting.

Many things felt kind of random, the dialogues are ok, but without verve and certainly not to the point. Some story elements that were introduced in the episode, will drag on a bit but as viewer you expect they will be kind of pointless and basically will just provide the "action cannon fodder" for the final episodes.

All in all it´s still solid but authors shouldn´t complain too much if they get replaced by an AI soon.

I do not know whether it is a problem with the "writing" or a problem with the "directing", but what I am sure of is that what we are seeing now is a very, very "big disappointment".!!

We wait two years of suspense to give me 8 episodes of extreme badness and weakness? Is the story this weak and poor?

Frankly, I am not satisfied with the episode or the entire season. Even the dragon battle in the fourth episode was not epic and does not compensate or cover the extent of the weakness and poverty in the series.

In fact, this season is one of the worst I have ever seen from George R. R. Martin, and many unimportant scenes are filled in instead of important ones.

For me, the series is a big "disappointment" and I did not expect it to be this weak and bad after waiting two years, and I do not expect that the next two episodes will change anything in my opinion of this series.

I remember that after sixteen episodes of Game of Thrones, there were many interesting characters, some of whom we became attached to, some of whom we hated, some of them whose intelligence astonished us, and some of them whose conversations about politics and cleverness were amazing.

If you want a strong female character on the good side or the bad side, you have Cersei, Daenerys, and Catelyn, and without the need to remind us each episode, she is a "woman," strong, and understands more than men.

If you want intelligence and cunning, watch how the dialogues between Lord Baelish, Lord Varys, and Tyrion Lannister were written.

If you want friendship and honor, watch Jon Snow, Sam, or the greatest Ned Stark.

All this and I am only talking about the first sixteen episodes of the series. I am not comparing a complete series to another that is still running.

House of the Dragon series lacks everything mentioned, in addition to the fact that it has become one of the most professional series in destroying the characters that attracted our attention in the first season. Its main motive is agendas and treating the viewer as "stupid," just as the actions of most of its characters are, "Stupid." It is a master of repetition, it is a master of boredom, it is a master of bad writing, it is a master of what is known as FILLER episodes. How do you write an entire episode like the fifth episode or the sixth when it is empty of any events or developments and the entire season is eight episodes!

For me, this season ended up being one of the worst I have seen in general inside and outside the world of ice and fire, and hope remains in the next season because the current one has disappointed expectations.

You need the characters of Lord Balish and Lord Varys, you need the malice of Cersei and the charisma of Daenerys. Even the only shrewd and intelligent character in the series, Otto Hightower, was marginalized and hidden from the events for 3 episodes for the second time in the events of the two seasons. What kind of drug are the writers on?

The title of this review pretty much sums it up. I'm seeing a lot of negative reviews saying how boring this is and how nothing is interesting but I can't for the life of me understand why.

There were so many rich character interactions in this episode especially in Kings Landing. There was even a few actiony scenes that people have been clamoring for.

The only thing I'm not sure about is the development with Rhaynera and Mysaria at the end but only because I'm not sure where they'll go with it. If it becomes something worthwhile then I'll be completely fine with it.

Other than that I loved this episode. Gwayne had a great scene here and Alicent shined throughout the whole episode. But the main standouts here were Daemon and Larys. People have been upset about Daemkns plot line and I guess I can understand but there's no way people don't like his scenes this episode.

Please just don't watch the show anymore if you find it so boring. Just because there isn't a battle doesn't mean nothing is happening. If you pay attention to the character work then many of the dialogue scenes will become so much more and you'll hopefully realize how well thought out and brimming with subtext and nuance this show is.
