Nah, I'm certainly not going to report you for this. It is a very clear and simple rule, though.
Television House of the Dragon (GoT Prequel) - No book spoilers allowed
- Thread starter ha_rooney
- Start date
I feel like "Sheepstealer" was let down by whoever named him.Dragon size chart, according to Reddit at least...
Never even heard of most of those. They mentioned Vhagar is off nesting somewhere though. Hope they show it.
I'm going to guess at a timeline... someone will be thread banned by the end of episode 4 at least!Plenty of book talk in this thread already
We still need someone to guess at a timeline though.
The first two have been alright, but definitely getting the buildup vibes which should likely lead to some epic future episodes.
I agree a little with this. There is a bit of harmless mischief missing that early Thrones had with the likes of Robert, Tyrion, and Bronn. Only major thing I’d say is missing so far
Yup , I agree too.
It's a bit wooden but maybe that's because we haven't met the misfits yet.
I've missed this. People getting arsey about a spoiler policy that's been in place for a very long time. Other people misinterpreting comments and accusing the posters of posting spoilers. We're back baby.
He looks more like Sauron than slim shady in the Rings of Power.
Is this just 1 season or how many could it have?
Already been renewed for a second season. Been rumoured that the show will run for about 4 seasons. But who knows really.
Sweet.
A bit like Shaggydog for a Dire Wolf. No wonder the wolf was slightly more aggressive than his siblings.
Really getting into this it’s been great so far.
This and Lord of the Rings on Amazon going forward, could be some great TV.

Yeah seen that, weird how the dragons from GOT look as big as these ones though.Dragon size chart, according to Reddit at least...

Deeply worried about that one to be honest. Amazon managed to make the Wheel of Time into fairly forgettable YA fluff and the trailers and character bios released on Lord of the Rings looks like they are going for another soapy teen drama with pointy ears.
I thought that it was a little weird to see Lord Corlis (or whatever his name was) visiting with Daemon without any attention being paid to how that meeting would need to be arranged secretly. But I take the point another poster made that this show will be jumping ahead in time as it progresses.
I was disappointed that they have moved forward the week that it would have took for him to travel to Driftmark rather than show the immediate aftermath of showing the princess that everybody has been lying to her.
We will probably see a rift rather than an immediate consequence.
Yeah they look about the same size if not smaller. Shat the bed there have the CGI folks.
Wow, I thought Drogon seemed larger in GOT than any of the dragons in this so far.Dragon size chart, according to Reddit at least...

Yeah they proper fecked up with the dragons in GOT, they went for the "ooo AHH amazing" not thinking about what would happen if they got a spin off.
That can’t be canon. Everybody knows the blue whale was the largest animal ever, even including dinosaurs.Dragon size chart, according to Reddit at least...

Already happened.

Well I…I have no response to that.
Every time I see Erling Haaland I think about how he'd be so much better as Daemon Targaryan.
Can people talk about things that happened in the GoT TV series? I didn't see a rule about shows from the same universe. In this case, info from that TV series could spoiler things for people only watching this one.
How would it take him a week to make it to Driftmark?
Which dragons have we seen in this series? I'm guessing that huge skull we saw in episode 1 was Balerion.Dragon size chart, according to Reddit at least...

Already the pacing feels designed to get to the next bit of action. The guy with the dreads turned on a fecking dime to sidle up to that big freaky brother. It's all heavy plot stacking with very little in the way of story or character. I know that this is actually my fault and an unrealistic expectation to have of modern tv shows, especially one spawned by late seasons GOT, but I want what I want. I thought the bridge scene was Marvel levels of lame and felt like every episode of the last 3 seasons of GOT - blonde girl swoops in by surprise to show the boys how it's done with a feck off dragon.
I like the enfeebled king stuff, the anxious queen to be stuff and the queen that never was angle (even if they've rehashed a bunch of speeches from GOT here), but these detail-focused strands feel somewhat ephemeral given the rate at which louder plot elements are being cycled through.
Not given up yet but I'm hoping for some character drama rather than just roleplaying an avatar through a fantasy land with a bunch of big events. I get this is a minority view.

Can't help but notice an awful lot of greenscreening in this. Not sure if I've just gotten good at noticing it or it's particularly obvious but you can tell quite a lot is shot on a sound stage.
The aerial views of Kings Landing look like a PS3 game and it doesn't look like they went back to Dubrovnik for it.

I imagine that's a lot to do with the fact that it was mostly shot during Covid.
Looking at the map of Westeros Driftmatk is about as far away from kings Landing as the Stoney Sept or Harrenhal which makes it about 470 miles away. A ship from that period could travel 50-100 miles a day depending on weather. So an optimistic view would be 5 days but a week more likely.
Just need to get into the cycle of “too slow, boring, too much buildup” followed by “jetpacking, how did they get from Location A to B so quickly”
By a margin the most ridiculous criticism of a show like this. Who fecking cares how far apart A and B are? And why the feck would you have any interest in watching people commute?
Its very strange, almost like people are/were just desperate to complain about something.
**Tonight in Game of Thrones, Sam shits over the side of a boat and Jon pisses on a tree.**
I have this impressive ability with game of thrones where, when I read a book spoiler, I start reading a different subject entirely and I manage to get said spoiler completely out of my mind. I know I read one ages ago about house of the dragon and haven't the foggiest what it was now. Don't know if I should be worried infact 
Can I. Please? I'm probably going to binge on this eventually. Only got three eps left of Better Call Saul which is my favourite before finding something else. Hope you're loving House of Dragon.
Please no.
I surprised that you ever got into the show in the first place as most of the more memorable scenes from the first five seasons were of people travelling. Arya/The Hound, Tyron/Bronn and Jaimie/Bronn to name but a few.
I'm surprised that you actually like fantasy at all as most of the iconic fantasy series are based solely around the hardships people suffer whist travelling, Lord of the Rings and Wheels of Time to name two.
The problem with the last season of Game of Thrones is not that they cut out the travelling that was fine if that's the way that they wanted to go. It was more that people Insta travelled from one side of the map to the other. Take Euron Greyjoy for example. They showed him in King's Landing then 2 minutes later he was outside Casterly Rock destroying Danny's fleet, two minutes later he was back in King's Landing. The whole idea was so unfeasible as to be comical. Plot holes like that completely destroy the story.
