House of the Dragon (2022, HBO2theMAX)

[bada]

I used to be so into this show I forgot about it.

[Ello Sailor]

Episode 5 was boring as shit. Reminded me of that S2 stretch where nothing happened for ~6 episodes. Wack.

Criston Cole needs to shut the hell up and die already

[Matters]

The first 3 episodes of the season were actually decent but the last two have gone back to the formula from the first 2 seasons: boring storylines about characters who aren’t worth caring about.

And yes,

Criston Cole needs to shut the hell up and die already

I'm so fucking sick of Harrenhal. That place is an energy/entertainment vampire. Boo!

[Mecca]

It’s an important place in the song of ice and fire

[Simple Torture]

Let’s rank the important Harrenhal events.

5. Arya soft-joins the faceless men
4. Great Council of 101
3. The Pact (I’m aware this wasn’t at Harrenhal, but it was in the neighborhood)
2. The time a Targaryen prince spent some spooky time there and had creepy visions, but whichever one you’re thinking of first, I’m referring to the other one
1. Lord Whent’s tournament of 281

[Norah]

If you can include The Pact you can include

The Battle Above the Gods Eye (https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/B ... e_Gods_Eye)

Sure, but it has made for boring television in HotD.

Ser Simon Strong do nothing for you?

[Ello Sailor]

Great character, but he was in ~5% of scenes overall. Quit being obtuse, bro. You know I'm talking about Daemon tripping balls for six episodes in S2 and now Aemond & Alys doing sweet fuck all for God knows how long.

Boring.

Did not realize until after Aemond iced him that he was an icon.

Shout out to all the cool people at Harrenhal

Boring.

They’re doing sweet fuck

[Ello Sailor]

I can't believe you've done this.

[Ello Sailor]

S03E06 is the best episode of the entire series. Holy shit that was badass. And it didn't even require a dragon fight.

[spike]

Did the script not include the word craven 50 times or something?
