re: House of the Dragon S1E10: “The Black Queen”--Official Thread. Season Finale NO SPOILERS!!

And yet not one example has been given lol. Regardless, I’m more interested in speaking to the shows quality rather than this and already told mick I’d do as he asks even though I do it thinking most of you are weak and are yet to give an example other than someone above putting forth that I said aemon takes Luces eye in fire and blood after his death. Oh major spoiler there thatll surely impact big things…: except it absolutely won’t and doesn’t mean anything in the slightest

I just rewatched the episode as I wasn’t aware of anything they’d be showing beforehand on my first watch last night. There are a lot of good things to say for it. It’s is as to be expected supremely well shot, the acting is across the board top of the game again as it has been in the other 9 top notch, I come down a tad softer on Rhaeynera and her characterization in the episode than I did initially as for tv purposes it sets a nice tonal balance between alicent and her not wanting to tip the audience into on camp. I still think the whole storm lands scene was abysmal though in its execution but beautiful in its rendition.

As I said earlier I give the season a 7.5 and best episode to 7 which was a top 5 in the whole HoTD and GoT series episode.

They have had to do a few interviews already promising increased pacing and not a slow burn that doesn’t pay off next season because of complaints about this seasons pacing. Personally, I thought it was paced very tight and well until 10 and while most say the time jumps hurt the pace I’d argue they helped it.

Are you suggesting the show was bad? Or just this episode? If the former that’s a bad take, especially in this entertainment climate

And yet Episode 10, here you are.

Lol you're a terrible fricking troll. Always have been

Here’s a great interview with Olivia Cooke on Alicent and some behind the scenes stuff (her feet comments and then the other about the kid’s names are great). Thought some might enjoy.

Truth? You do realize that interpretation of any art is purely subjective right?

You didn’t like it. Ok, cool. Millions did.

Mad had his mind made up before the show even broadcasted.

He’s been hate watching from the beginning.

I don’t get why people are questioning this - everything from rhaenyra points to them facilitating his escape. Does she seem like the type to kill her husband? Daemon would but that was obviously the compromise that was struck.
