DBW Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I was beginning to feel like this show wasn’t going anywhere and was hard to watch, not being fully invested in any of the characters really, then last night happened and it pulled me back in.

You could say that about Breaking Bad or parts of Game of Thrones or Better Call Saul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawkins4prez Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 So far this is basically a soap opera with (occasionally) dragons. Half way in and now they are going to do a big time jump and add a bunch of characters? While the first half ended with the death of a dude we didn't even get to learn his name. You start to get the feeling this show has too much riding on these dragon battles. they better be really awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they named him Jon snow, ned stark, or Tyrion Lannister… I’m not sure if there’s an easier name for former GoT’s watchers for them to have given dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 3-4 seasons at best before we get to the GoT we all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemack8 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 For me, so far, House of the Dragon is slightly ahead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're different enough that I like them both, I'm just enjoying HoD a little more. I could see RoP taking over at some point once things really start heating up, however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think RoP has clearly set up a lot more exciting things to look forward to. Neither show is better than The Witcher yet, but then again neither was the Witcher at this juncture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawkins4prez Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Last comment for now, if there is one actor in either show that I think has absolutely slayed it, it has to be Paddy Considine's Viserys. How that man takes a character with so many obvious weaknesses and still emanates such power and dominates every scene is a marvel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rings of Power is condensing 2k years for the sake of story. It’s not a problem unless you make it a problem. I’m just saying the obvious, it’s hard to fit hundreds of what’s into a show that may only be 3-4 seasons at best without some time jumps. If that bothers you then it’s a personal issue you can choose to hate it if you wish. As for Dork of the Rings, I’ve never read a book or watched a single one of those so I won’t comment on it.

Time jumps mid season, much less every episode, is pretty whack. Especially when the entire 5 episodes feel like they could have been covered by Littlefinger in 5 minutes with 3 dancing prostitutes in the background. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFit Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I saw half of one of the lotr movies when I was in highschool. My brother rented it and I figured I'd give it a try. I saw an hour and a half of walking and then right when something semi interesting was about to happen, the movie ended. Never watched another second after that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
