It's pretty interesting to see people wanting more during this part of the story and big praise to the writers as well. To your point about the characters, themes, and how rich they were, I totally agree and it was an important part of why I love the books so much. Remember that HDR surround luminance reccomendation is 5nit. Amazing so far, surpassed my expectations. Orchideam Posts: 4, 958. An SI into House of the Dragon. No doubt, once I am done, there will be huge debate about which version of the story is better. Whatever, I'm still ride or die for Alicent. Additional cast members include Milly Alcock, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Emily Carey, Harry Collett, Ryan Corr, Tom Glynn-Carney, Jefferson Hall, David Horovitch, Wil Johnson, John Macmillan, Graham McTavish, Ewan Mitchell, Theo Nate, Matthew Needham, Bill Paterson, Phia Saban, Gavin Spokes, and Savannah Steyn. Was the highest honour his house ever received, he lived in a capital, he could bang the future queen on the regular basis. But since THESE books already exist, that particular issue won't be the case this time (GRRM has covered this show's probable subject matter rather extensively in a few of his any of you want to read them, check out A World of Ice and Fire, as well as Fire and Blood, to name the main ones. ) Rhaenrya wanting her Aemond tortured for calling her sons bastards (which is the truth) is wayy more crazy and fcked up.
I understand its thematic importance but I almost had to stop watching as I found it traumatic. This, and given the fact, that it is one of the badest day for night scenes ever shot. And out of all people queen shows up alone to stop him in the last minute. Its even making me want to watch the last 2 episodes of GOT which i skipped. Rhaenrya, Viserys, Otto, Cole, Aemond... all were great. Mysaria is discount Shae with a worse accent. House of the Dragon and Related Memes #1: Perhaps the Princess Would Like To Trade Her Crown For Some Oranges and Cinnamon? Cinematography is impeccable. And was enjoying a position of respected knight.
What is it worth grading for if one of the best consumer panels (and this one was calibrated by a professional) cannot display it and the viewership hates it? I'm team Green/Alicent here, she can't keep getting away with this BS. What I personally really like is that there is no filler. From there, we follow the Targaryen dynasty as many kings and queens (both good and evil) rule over the Six Kingdoms. Pretty visuals can only carry you so far. The blacks got a innocent servant person killed this episode toward the end lol. Rhaenyra and Daemon are the best characters. I have no doubt they are, especially as the showrunners have already expressed interest in exploring other parts of the Targaryen family the "multiple years" note, critical reactions seem to have been very positive overall and the ratings strong, so I suspect several more seasons are a lock at this point. Just binged everything to catch up. 1 will make everyone but risk management happy, 2 will make everyone but artists happy, so I bet they'll go with that one assuming they do anything at all and don't just force artists not to do dark scenes. To breath fire they would need a large internal supply of fuel, and presumably a spark. You'd think House of Dragon and GOT is the only thing they have. He didn't get much new writing done on the book until Covid lockdowns. I don't know that HotD merits three seasons but I guess there is enough material to stretch it out.
Damn, as a proud team Green/Alicent supporter, I have to say my side came across as all kinds of petty this episode. I want to know how George intended it to end. Master of Whispers | [News & Media] #1: Season 2 is coming... in 2024. He murdered Joffrey because he was ashamed of slighting his honour and ignoring his vows, and Joffrey was openly flaunting it to him which made him unhinged. The contrast with the setting for the tourney contrasts really well with Roberts tourney in season 1 of game of thrones. But then some scenes totally break beyond legibility. It's been just over three years since fans have seen the shores of Westeros. Sadly I think the fame/celebrity that the show brought to Martin provided too much of a distraction. Aemond claiming Vhagar the same night as the dragon's former rider's funeral. Well let me correct myself. I have a hard time believing ANY of what happened in season 8 was what Martin intended. The casting was really well done.
I got in the habit of waving the remote around any time we would start chatting too long until we could find one that would go off fully. No new viewpoints, I promise you that, but with all these journeys and battles and scheming to come, inevitably our major players will be encountering new people in lands far and near. He got a free pass after deflowering the princess. Martin was supposed to keep writing so they'd have more to do, but when he didn't, because he's a lazy little jerk, they had to do their own thing and we know what happens when Hollywood doesn't have guidance. And he screw up again by murdering someone in public - this dude acts like a psychopath (and dumb one at that). Much of the progress that Martin has made for The Winds of Winter seems to consist of material that was written for A Dance with Dragons but he decided to cut for length. Dragonstone | [Off Topic] #2: Title is loading..... 317. However there are some serious missing pieces of the full Targaryen story that likely won't be revealed until ASOIAF is completed, which may be never. Martin has no intention of ever finishing the books. Dialogues are good and characters are being nicely build. It's kinda like race swapping a British royal family member in the Crown. In all likelihood, they did view this on a consumer OLED when coloring or reviewing color, however it probably had that feature turned off, so no one considered what would happen.
Princess Daella for example who's half Targaryen/Velaryon also made racist remarks against a summer islander prince and thought he was a demon due to his darker skin tone, which tells you a lot about these people. HOWEVER, we all turn that feature off when calibrating and using in a critical environment. I will admit that his complicated plot lines are probably a real pain to plot out and keep straight when writing. HBO Max really overhauled it's app for the show. I never implied that I disagreed with the grading intent. So why does he not ask the qeen.
They really need a hit. So even with very large wings flying would be unlikely. They've spent over $100m on marketing - only big blockbuster films usually get budgets like Max really overhauled it's app for the show. The Green Queen [Alicent • Emily|Olivia] #2: "We do not rule but we may guide the men that do. Quaithe still has a part to play.
Then again Martin was super involved but still. I reckon there's a spark plug in its mouth. The boy (named Baelon, after the king's father) survived her only by a day, leaving king and court bereft…save perhaps for Prince Daemon, who was observed in a brothel on the Street of Silk, making drunken japes with his highborn cronies about the "heir for a day. " Greg Yaitanes is director and co-executive producer. I have legions of secondary characters, not POVs but nonetheless important to the plot, who also figure in the story: Lady Stoneheart, Young Griff, the Tattered Prince, Penny, Brown Ben Plumm, the Shavepate, Marwyn the Mage, Darkstar, Jeyne Westerling. I'd hate for season 8 to be the only ending we ever get.
The Tapestries | [Fan Art & Videos] #2: Everyone gets fan art, including Larys' foot fetisch apparently.... 2, 213. Not to mention the queen walks in on him completelly unguarded. Distinguished Member. This inconsistency and unpredictability of how the HDR content is going to end up looking on high-end consumer TV's seems to me to be problematic. Presumably with no reason, not to mention murdering another high born lad -.
I'm kinda disappointed to learn that there will be a time jump. He admitted to the knew bc he didn't know she was talking about the daemon rumour and thought that she knew so he saw no further point in lying and just accepted it. I like episode 2 being slow and not too action heavy, they are setting the stage just now and things from episode 7 should being crazy like it used to during GOT. I'm sure the threads are still archived here.
