House of the Dragon
 

Are you watching this? What do you think?

I have some quibbles with things like the hair work and years between episodes, but I'm pretty engrossed at this point.

I'm so excited to watch it but have been so busy this summer. I'm hoping to make some time this weekend!

I watched a bit of episode one, but ended up watching the new Tolkien thing on amazon instead.

I may follow up on it in the future

i watched all episodes that are out yet but i must say the lord of rings series is way better...looking forward to the jon snow series i guess that will be better

It's mediocre compared to Game of Thrones. It will never be as good because Game of Thrones had a much more complex story line with tons of different characters and side stories.

The sequel to Game of Thrones will be the best one based on John Snow.

The Lord of the Rings series is a complete disaster.

It's like a Korean drama with dragons. It's completely a ladies show, which is a good thing or else there would be no one watching it.

It's ok. The visuals and storytelling is fine. However, I find it hard to get into any of the characters, unlike Game of Thrones. After 5 episodes, the series now jumps forward 10 years and recasts most of the characters. It has a different "historical overview" vibe, which is interesting, but not quite as captivating as GoT.

... and yeah, some of the wigs are hard to believe.

It's better than the last season of GoT, less good than the rest of the seasons, and a million times more engrossing than Rings. I don't especially care if Rings is not canon, but the characters just don't have enough depth to hold my attention. So HotD probably worth making the time to try an ep or two anyway.

Totally agree that adds a weird history vibe. Given that additional seasons would be a plus for HBO, I don't get why they are rushing the story. Those long time gaps really decrease how much I care about any of the story arcs.

It's way better than lord of the rings which has nice special effects. But Lotr so far fails in the writing department which isn't nearly as captivating as it should be (it's getting better each episode though)

It's also on par with and potentially better than Game of Thrones, because game of thrones was on its way to being the most epic series ever, but couldn't keep its dick hard.

I'm enjoying it. Some badass characters starting to emerge.

nor mine - since watching the first 2 episodes, i havent gone back to it since...

I'm a lil frustrated that every time I get involved now, they fast forward a bunch of years and are on to the next thing.

Yeah, ROP is a real turd.

I am enjoying the show so far about to watch yesterdays episode today

After the 10 year jump last night, I turned it off and did not go back.

You are sitting there waiting for the show to get interesting, learning the characters, you just begin to see some potential... And bam, time skip. Now do it all over again.

Really disappointed in both series'. Was looking forward to both of them.

Yep I felt the same way about the 10 year jump. It made it feel like everything that happened in the first 5 episodes was meaningless.

its amazing

This series is about the Dance of the Dragons. The episodes up to this point are just providing the background for this war. Once the Dance begins it will only span about two years (129 AC to 131 AC) where as the background leading up to this started essentially in 101 AC at the Great Council. Not enough happened from 101 AC to 129 AC to spend a lengthy amount of time on, just enough to set the stage for the war to come.

id rather watch beaches twice jeezus

So was the whole foot fetish for loyalty and favors thing in there before ep 9 and I only just noticed?

First time

Amazing series, in some ways better then Game of Thrones

Are you high?

I haven't seen either show, but considering this person doesn't know the difference between then/than...

I would venture to say that most people don't

Especially Milly Alcock was amazing. I would recommanded this series for everybody.

I watched this show, I love it!
I recommend!

He has to be 🙄

Edited: excepted maybe for the last season of GOT. In comparison, HoD makes more sense.
But for example, I don't find that time is well managed in HoD.

I really wish they had aged her up, instead of replacing her.

Best and most accurate statement in this thread so far

...I did notice they threw in the token black guy to make it period correct.:2 cents:
