Is this based on any source material or is it an original screenplay? I’m worried it won’t have all the political maneuvering that made the early seasons of GoT great since it apparently revolves around one family. I will watch though because dragons and shite.


This show will be nothing but political intrigue. It is based on story about disputed succession with different factions...that all have dragons.

Spoilery









Then pretty much at the end, the Starks/northerners show up, wreck shop just for the hell of it because they walked that far and wanted to kill some people, and then they marry all of the widows.

I'm more excited fit it than I thought I'd be. No D&D, a good complete source material and HBO delivers more consistently than anybody.

You might want to edit the post to "no book spoilers" or "hodors thread." Because this will be very easy to drop spoilers in.

So the main Targ actress is a non-binary thingamajig? It's like they don't want people to ever watch this shite and do everything they can to dissuade us.

Titties and treachery. It's not a radical concept.

Wasn’t Martin or HBO’s fault Game of Thrones shite the bed, was all on D&D


Oh frick off for letting Martin off. It was primarily his fault. HBO gave them a blank check, so they get off, but not tubby.

Not for long. Won’t hear me in here after the episode premieres. Don’t have an HBOMax subscription so not going to be watching.

So the actor is non-binary. Not necessarily the character. Even if the character discusses how her sex or gender has affected her life, it makes perfect sense in the context of the fact she was passed over in the succession because of it, and is not a new thing at all in the genre.

Not to mention, sex in reptiles is far more fluid than genetics, so possibly right on the nose for the House of the Dragon.

This being said, my biggest issue with non-binary people is they often come off as completely self-obsessed and for people who I think are trying to downplay the role of gender in their lives, it sure as hell seems to be the only thing they constantly talk about.

My understanding is there will be extremely little nudity, if any.

Did the fact that Sir Ian Mckellen sucked penis stop people from watching LOTR?

Nobody is going to care what she is if the show is good and they don't make that part of the story.

Arya is one of the best characters on any show that I've ever watched. I didn't care for the girl with no name training, but it was necessary for her to get her revenge.

We'll see. You've already broken your "I'm not going to post in the episode thread" statement you've said all along.

I get the Bran hate, his character sucked donkey balls.

But, putting aside the decision to have Arya kill the night King, why would you fast forward through her scenes? She had one of the best character arcs in the show.
