They want to get to the civil war, but they wanted us to know a little about the folks in it and how they got to that point. I suppose they could have really fleshed this baby out and only done these huge time jumps between seasons, but would the audience have had the patience for that after way GoT ended? Guess we'll never know. I'm hot mad at this show now, but I still think its salvagable in the long run. The day i don't think it is you won't see me in here bishing, I'll leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand of the King, even when the King is healthy and present, is basically running the Kingdom... I don't see that as what Daemon would want to deal with at all. I mean, in the very first episode he was dreaming about being king while sitting on the iron throne, then beyotching to the king that he never made him hand of the king. Good for him that he wound up accepting his place, but he absolutely wanted the power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemack8 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 So the last 5 minutes was great - the rest of that episode was pretty blah. Normally ep 9 for GoT was a banger. This one was not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawkins4prez Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I dunno man. It started off really cooking, loved how they set up Aegon's coup, put that all in motion, the noble hanging from the rafters, murder at the small council. Had a nice mood to it between the framed shots and the soundtrack. Then it just kinda fell apart with more cheap shock you moments. 10 yr old gladiators? Dude pumping his meat at the Queen's feet? Dragon in the building just for show? I respect the unique Chicago mix popcorn of genres they got going but since when is Flea Bottom Mad Max and the whole 50 shades of Gray angle seems desperate. I do love Olivia Cooke's Alicent Hightower. Easily the best character left IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawkins4prez Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 2 hours ago, Agent23 said: You forgot Daemon No I didn't. Daemon's a tad overrated at this point. Solid actor, good character, but he pretty much peaked back in like episode 3 and they haven't added any layers to him since. He's a 2 note mopey psycopath and doesn't seem to have any personal arc going on. Again, nice character that would fit in well in a bigger cast of cool characters, but the excessive spotlight is showing him to be a bit hollow. Alicent is much more interesting imho and Clarke is the best actor they have going post Paddy. She's seems to be the only genuinely good person on either side (loved her husband despite everything/protects her children/doesn't want to murder/doesn't wish for power or crown) but is surrounded by a bunch of lunatics and her situation is impossible. She even desperately clings to Cole's corrupted knightly code because its the closest thing to honor in her circle. That's good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always forget what happens by the time the new season comes out. Ozark was like that too. I couldn't remember who died, who killed them, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Omega Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I thought the finale was great and, up until the finale, I thought the entire season was really good. After the finale though the season seems really lacking. Coulda told the limited story that they did in half a season or less. An entire season for character development is a rip off.

dawkins4prez Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Episode 10 could have been episode 4 and it would have been equally impactful. Anybody who asks me I will tell them to just skip the season all together because a 5 min recap is all you need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglegenius Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Yes, the season started very slow with lots of filler. But finally it took off in episode 9 and episode 10 was excellent. I'm glad I hung in and look forward to season 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Binged the season the last 2 weeks. Surprised no one talked about this but as Viserys kept getting older & sicker, practically a skeleton I kept saying: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
