But has ever been as show that went from 1# Goat Candidate to Bad in the way Game of Thrones did?even though I'd disagree with them, a lot of people would say Lost.
I cant think of a franchise I fell out of love with as quickly as GoT.House of the Dragon is pretty good, especially the first season. Its definitely back to what made the series fun.
Mayyyybbbeee Star Wars, but thats been over the course of several years, and for the most part Im just neutral about new Star Wars stuff, but can be convinced to watch some of it here and there, and Ill still go back and watch the originals from time to time.
After those last 2 seasons of GoT I have no interest in watching or reading anything from that franchise again.
House of the Dragon is pretty good, especially the first season. Its definitely back to what made the series fun.
Season 2 was ... Not great. Basically nothing happened and it was extremely frustrating to watch.Yeah season 2 ending on "well finally somethings going to happen. Wait its over?"

For many years people said this about Twin Peaks.Naaaaaaaah not even close.
Don't know if that still holds now since it got that follow up years later but boy did it's rating die in the second season.
House of the Dragon is pretty good, especially the first season. Its definitely back to what made the series fun.That's what I keep hearing, but the fact that it's a prequel series I think really turns me off, cause I know everything it builds up to is plot-wise going to eventually lead to the ending of GoT. So I'm like "I know where this goes long-term, I'm good."
I'm all for shitting on GoT, but I skimmed a few points and I dunno if this video does the best job at listing out abandoned plotlines. It mentions Mirri Maz Dur says "only death can pay for life" and says that it's then never explained how the Thoros and Melisandre are able to bring people back to life without sacrificing someone to do it, but those are different magic users casting different spells. There's no reason Thoros and Melisandre aren't just better at it.
Or that Sansa is still technically married to Tyrion, but obviously that marriage would be considered null by anyone not loyal to the Lannister crown.
Or wanting explanation on Craster's sons when it's pretty straightforward: they're turned into White Walkers.
Or that Sansa should be annoyed with Edmure for not sending Tully troops to fight the Walkers when his forces were wiped out, being watched over by Lannisters, and would be marching millions of miles north in the dead of winter.
He does bring up actual abandoned plotlines, but I think a lot of it is just padding.
Season 2 was ... Not great. Basically nothing happened and it was extremely frustrating to watch.Overall. But I think S02E02 was probably the best episode of GOT television ever.
I mean from a book readers perspective there was so much that had to be left out to even make it work for tv that it was already kind of a joke from very early on. Missing characters, missing stories, characters merged together, ages changed, and long drawn out complicated stories that just got reduced to simplistic barely noticeable substories.This. I considered the show a dumpster fire from the moment
With that being said I still thought as far as tv goes it was a decent show if you just treat it entirely separately from your book knowledge and just roll with it for the entertainment value and the wonderful set pieces.
I thought the first season was really well done before the story starts introducing more characters and lands and inevitably gets more complicated. The first season took pages of dialogue straight out of the books and did well. As far as everyone always hating the final season the show was off the rails from like season 4 on. Again you just had to roll with it.
Overall I thought some of the casting was great and I loved seeing my favorite characters come to life in Tyrion and Sandor Clegane. I thought a few characters were off but I dont think it was bad casting or acting but more that they just couldnt properly convey their character as a lot more nuanced and gray neither showing to be good or bad like the book.
Basically I still think as a show its pretty good. I just rewatched it a month ago. Also watched both seasons of House of the Dragon. I think the less complicated overarching study in that with less stuff involved helps the focused narrative.
Also the set pieces, seriously fucking great. I know a shit ton of the show is digitally made but fuck it looks so good. Really enjoyable to watch and comes out looking very fucking good on my display.
So yeah I know people are still pissy about this but I went into it expecting to be disappointed and let down as a book fan and came out of it with a actually that was better than I expected and it doesnt bother me.

This. I considered the show a dumpster fire from the momentPoor Bashirthey butchered the Dorne plot, which I think was in season 4. It went to shit long before season 8, casuals just didnt know any better.

Yeah season 2 ending on "well finally somethings going to happen. Wait its over?"What you're describing is season 1 for me. It didn't draw me in until the very end and I quite enjoyed season 2.

What you're describing is season 1 for me. It didn't draw me in until the very end and I quite enjoyed season 2.I actually liked the peaceful king and the scheming more in season 1. I think a big detractor of season 2 for me might have been Daemon because I really didnt like his scenes.

I think a big detractor of season 2 for me might have been Daemon because I really didnt like his scenes.I actually kinda love his character. Or maybe it's more the actor's portrayal of the character. Idk. I think I'll have to re-watch the first season because I can't really remember a thing about it.

I think I'll have to re-watch the first season because I can't really remember a thing about it.Yeah it was different for the GoT universe I know. I dont hate season 2 though I just dislike when seasons are building to something but then it just ends with a see you next season while the point is finally front and center. Its a show that will probably benefit from binging later.
Yeah, Paddy Considine killed it as Viserys in s1, easily my favorite character of the show (which was a welcome surprise since I only knew him from Hot Fuzz and The World's End prior).
Daemon has that perfect mix of self-importance and lack of personality that would make me tune in every week hoping for his death...if he was a dedicated villain and not a pseudo-protagonist. Though Criston Cole still easily takes the crown of 'character I most want to see screaming in agony in an inferno of dragonfire,'and I'm genuinely pissed that they seem to be setting God's perfect asshole up for a redemption arc.
upon retrospect I'd say that the 'power is power' scene between Littlefinger and Cersei early in s2 was the first clear sign that they really did not understand Littlefinger's character.I remember seeing that when asked early on, GRRM said that Littlefinger was the character that was the most different from their book counterpart because everyone knew he was a lying, scheming little turd. In the book, Littlefinger is everyone's friend. Everyone trusts him or at least thinks they know him well enough to trust what he would do.
As far as everyone always hating the final season the show was off the rails from like season 4 on
ou could definitely say the quality started to dip in s4 though,I can't believe Season 4 is getting hate.

Season 2 and 4 getting smacked?
What's with CE
even though I'd disagree with them, a lot of people would say Lost.Lost was fine till the final episode. Most dont like it because they dont understand it.
Naaaaaaaah not even close.
Yeah sure Season 2 was weaker than Season 1 and it got wobbly in the middle of season 2. But Twin Peaks was never bad.
Okay James was bad but the show as a whole was always good

There's no reason Thoros and Melisandre aren't just better at it.Finally getting around to watching TC's video, and it really does sound like "they never explain how the Statue of Liberty made it to the Planet of the Apes." He really said that the Three-Eyed Raven said Bran wouldn't be able to walk, but he'd be able to fly (metaphorically), so he expected Bran to become a Dragonrider for some reason, but since he didn't it's an abandoned plot point.

At least House of the Dragon has a written ending they are aiming towardsBut is it a good ending tho
Nice I'll watch that later, GoT really is the only show I can't re watch due to how bad the last 2 seasons were. That video just makes that case even more valid.
You were on board with shirtless ramsey,
littlefinger revealing his grand designs to a bunch of prostitutes going at it in a brothel,
and season 5 buddy-comedy in dorne with jamie bronn? It was only until the last 2 seasons that did it in for ya?
But is it a good ending tho
