The Red Sowing

Yeah.. that finale scene were perhaps one of my favorite scenes in this season! I could feel what Aemond must have felt, being overwhelmed with the sight of something I can barely handle!

This episode felt like a slow tense build up toward what was gonna take place in the last part of the episode! We also gpt some of the better scenes with Darmond and the kid playing that young Tully, actually did a great job!

However the best part is the ladt part! This offeret a completely new perspective on Dragons, and we really see how proud and intelligent this creatures are! That they indeed are smarter thsn humans, and that we still know so little about them!

Remember how terrifying JAWS was without even seeing the monster much at all? This penultimate episode said "screw that method, we're showing the monsters in all their glory." And boy were the dragons epic. Bravo to the FX and sound design crew, this should win them the Emmy. The scene in the ale house, setting up Ulf as a potential dragon rider, was a bit cheesy, but otherwise the episode packed in a lot of tension and action. My only complaint is that they've kept Daemon in limbo for the entire season, almost as if they weren't sure what to do with him. The ending shot was pure chills.

My fear, as in most seasons of these epic tales, is that we've peaked at the penultimate episode and the finale will let us down a bit.

If you've been following GoT since 2011, you'll recognize the slow storytelling and progression of the story. I still don't understand the people who see a lot of filler episodes in Season 2 of HotD. Yes, it may be told slowly. But that's what the GoT universe has always been about. I have the feeling that the loud critics here only know Seasons 7-8 and S1 of HotD. Don't get me wrong: I also see a few weak points in this season. Nevertheless, HotD is still one of the best that the series world has to offer and I especially don't understand the people who constantly give it 0-4 stars. What do you expect??? A dragon fight every week? That gets boring quickly. You need the slow storytelling so that there can be special episodes like E4 or the last minutes of E7. I understood that a long time ago. But apparently there are enough people who don't understand that.

This episode is indeed CINEMA ! An absolutely fantastic hour of television.

Rhaenyra at her best for this one, she had shown what's meant to be the blood of the dragon.

The dragonseeds plot was well developed and now it came to a very satisfying conclusion, Hugh's character is really growing on me, the depth the showrunners have given to him makes him more intriguing than his F&B portrayal.

What else can be said you'll discover great cinematography, CGI at its best, Alicent has a really beautiful scene and of course the whole dragons claiming moments.

The final scene was absolute badass, FOR HERE COMES THE DRAGON QUEEN !

Hyped for the finale.

This is TV with Capital Letters. From start to finisth. The dragons steal the episode, the CGI is formidable and the worldbuilding is quite believable. I use to think the best episodes of GoT will be never comparable to any other tv series in days to come, but this show is making me wonder if that will remain true. Beside that, Emma D Arcy is just wonderful as Olivia Cooke is too. Even when action is absent in the screen, the shakesperean vibe of the dialogs conveys depth and fleshness of the characters. Keep watching this show, it deserves our best attention, the world of GoT is safe and sound by now, thanks MAX.
