re: House of the Dragon S1E6: “The Princess and the Queen”--Official Thread

How many episodes are there in this first season?

That is something that GOT did very well.

Even though most of the power players were not likeable a lot of the side characters and supporting characters were very likeable.

I don’t think it’s fair to ask this show to produce a Tyrion he’s one of a kind. But a Bron, Hound, Red Vioer type of character is easy enough to to create. Someone who loves fighting, fricking, and crude jokes, should’ve made one of the brooding knights that type of guy instead.

Yeah, this is an odd situation where they actually need to stray from the books. The book goes through all of this with the important details, but there aren't any small moments. The TV show is the same way. Every scene is a major plot pusher.

They need to add some small moments in. This episode did a better job of that than the first four, but it is still absolutely trucking along through the story.

It makes me wonder if they know they have a set number of seasons to get it done. Like HBO said "you get three seasons, no more."
