TV: House of the Dragon (HBO) - Season 2 - Summer 2024, please use spoil tags where it makes sense

[The Marquis]

I knew what you meant and you're likely right. Just seemed kind of random though. Has anyone in this thread even complained about the show not being accurate?

Complained? Yeah, a bit, but really more holding them to account.

The thing I love about House of the Dragons is that it reminded me of the 70s Pina Colada song where the guy is signing:

"If you like making love at midnight,
in the dunes on the cape
then I'm the love that you look for
so write to me and escape"

And then Rhaenyra asked her Uncle if he liked making love in the dunes on the cape and then of course uncle and nephew made love out there.

Just finishing up my rewatch ahead of the new season.

I think I like season 1 even more on a second go through.

I'm 5 eps through and I agree. I'm noticing more things now. Also i didn't realize how much stuff i forgot, it's like a whole new series

Going to save the last 2 eps of season 1 for Sunday evening and then go right into the new season.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

No surprise but, renewed for season 3.

Just finished my S1 rewatch.

Forgot how much of a punk Ser Criston Cole is. Acting like hes in high school because a teenager didnt wanna run off with him. Little *****.

Forgot how much i DONT like the greens. f*** em. Bunch of gosh dang rats.

This is easily my favorite show ever. Ive got a weird obsession with dragons so this is right up my alley add in high fantasy, medieval setting and bad *** armor and great effin acting im all about it.

Cant wait for S2. Havent read the books yet, i mean to, but im fully expecting everyone to die.

Finished my rewatch last weekend and gotta say I agree, I liked it the first time around but second time was much better. Can't wait for Sunday!

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Can't wait til tomorrow. Though I'm wary of a certain scene from the book that will no doubt be in the first or second episode . No clue how they're going to approach doing that. Going to shut up before I give away any spoilers.

Not seen this series yet, but my impression is that its just about the targaryans and only fantasy element is the dragons. Is that correct?

As far as fantasy creatures go, yes, but the show is filled with creepy personal fantasies.

So no white walkers, demons, lord of light kind of stuff?

As far as I remember, there are only humans and dragons in Season 1, but it's been a few years. I haven't re-watched it recently like others have.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

I wonder what the budget is. There are a bunch of battles during the Dance in the book. Want to see just how many that they actually film and put in the show.

Dragon on dragon violence every episode, lfg!

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Happy Dragon Night!

 

[Osprey]

Happy Father of Dragons Day!

None of that type of stuff yet.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Let's f***ing go! Waited almost 2 years for this. This season should be fire if they stay faithful like they did with the 1st season .Sooo many things are going to happen. I doubt they will be able to fit it in 8 episodes. The Dance will probably take up 2 seasons at the least.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

I love where they started it at.

 

[Megahab]

My God.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Brutal. I knew that was coming and it still shook me. What a dark end to the episode.

 

[Sad People]

Holy smokes.

 

[Tuggy]

I like that they started basically right where season 1 ended. Although Jace's hair grew really quick

What the rat catcher and friend did there at the end was pretty brutal. Will throw gas on the fire of war.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

We're in for great season , folks.
