House of the Dragon (Game of Thrones Prequel - HBO) TV Show • Page 97

Yeah anyone saying it was done badly is just being a turd. Anyone who didn’t read the book is gonna find it horrifying as is. The choices of what they left out just took a little weight away from the moment that probably keeps it from that Red Wedding level of holy shit.

 

Aegon the DragonCock

 

New intro fucks btw

 

I knew what was coming and it still made me anxious and get sweaty ass palms. Thought it was fine. My wife was really going through it.

 

yeah once they got upstairs and that handmaiden saw Blood, I got an anxious feeling in my gut hah

 

“Hugh, your grace” made me audibly say fuck you

 

Me too. That motherfucker.

 

I thought they did Alyn really well. Excited to for them to introduce Addam

 

Jace breaking down trying to give his mother the report on how his trip went was rough

 

Same. No idea who he is though

 

I really need watchers on the wall back around to give me screen cap breakdowns of the trailer for next week plz

 

Damn this show making me seem like an asshole because I wanted a more traumatic child murder scene. Thanks Ryan Condal

 

I woulda liked 3-5 more minutes of Jace/Cregan bro’ing down, and a more book-accurate blood and cheese scene, but otherwise this was pretty perfect. I’m thrown off by Aegon not being a completely evil shit, but looks like that’s starting next week. Them having Criston and Alicent getting freaky is an interesting choice too. Iirc, that’s only like very barely alluded to in the book, like “oh he was Rhaenyra’s sworn shield and champion and nudge nudge she def tried to bang him or he tried to bang her, and it went bad and now he’s Alicent’s sworn shield…”…I don’t think it’s ever even openly alluded to, just more kind of like an unsaid, “they were very close friends” type of deal like when historians don’t say two dudes who were definitely gay are gay lol

 

I like the changes they made to Mysaria's character. a lot more nuanced. In the book she was depicted as being the willing mastermind behind the entire murder. In here involvement here was more muted and coerced by Daemon.

 

There was no dog kicking in the book though. Sick fucks writing this show

 

Oh shit we are getting the Cargyll twins duel next aren't we? That was pretty open ended and could be interpreted multiple different ways in the book. Interested to see how they will adapt that. Going to be heartbreaking regardless.

 

was the implication there being that Larys’ efforts to root out spies basically ruined her and she had to escape kings landing?

thought it was interesting to have him say he chose Alicent’s handmaidens personally and she immediately distrusts them. And he’s just walking around planting seeds of doubt in Aegon now.

 

Remember last season he had his ops burn down the building she was operating from. He tried to have her killed.

 

ahhh yeah, that’s how he got that real good foot show

 

Love the new intro.

Liked that they opened the ep in the north. Was nice to hear that score kick in.

As far as the ending, that's about as tasteful as you can depict a scene like that.

Didn't know Hugh was a character I'm supposed to hate, let alone one that would ever show up again, but I guess I do now...
