Is this why HOD went down so much?

Showrunner for first season was Miguel Sapochnik who directed some of GOT's best episodes.
He left after the first season of House of Dragon. Think that affected the show?

The dinner scene with the the Valeryons is where I stopped. It’s just dreadful right now.

Watched S1 and was hopeful. Didn't enjoy S2 nearly as much. Was about to pick up HBO again until reports of how bad S3 was being received.
Gonna pass on this one.

almost impressive that HBO was able to acquire elite IP and fumble massive momentum, twice

Anecdote/specilatiom from Gary Bucehler:
They were having trouble advancing the story after S1. The show runner went to Jr Martin and asked for notes to help straighten out the story.
Speculation is, George never gave them the notes in time, so they had to start shooting without them. Therefore, mass dropoff.
None of these shows have ever gone well once Martin's original text is gone.

That's quite a bit different than George R.R. Martins account of events. George says the guy he hired basically quit listening to anything he had to say.

That and basically excommunicating GRRM from the set and ignoring his suggestions.
The showrunner went rogue and it's been complete arse since. The first season had promise and it's a nut-riddled turd at this point.

As a nonbook reader, still a fun show to watch.

It's not like GOT where there's an unfinished story that Martin would need to flesh out for them
It's a fully finished novel that could easily be adapted faithfully if someone wanted to
I think the real problem is that as the book progresses, the main characters greatly change, and that's not good for a TV series. GOT had the core group of POV characters that carried the novels, and the TV series. But if they followed the books faithfully, we'd barely have seen 1/2 the main cast this past season, which isn't going to work

They’ve allowed too many women to run these shows and have told GRRM to frick off at each turn.
