  1. I wouldn’t say that. I mean, season one of House of the Dragon was pretty good, but given its subject matter, it should have been so much better, imo.
  2. I mostly liked House of the Dragon, except for two episodes, but I didn’t love it. While it’s my favorite of the new fantasy shows, it still doesn’t hold a candle to GOT. I suppose that could change, but reducing the second season to eight episodes is worrying. I feel like they still need to take time to develop the characters.
  3. I’m sure he gave his advice from time to time, but I don’t think he was a full time consultant. It’s not like he was on set every day. I disagree about Feast and Dance. I found them to be very bad books.
  4. Maybe you know something I don’t, but the only help I’m aware he gave D&D was writing one episode for the first four seasons and that meeting D&D had with him when the show was about to overtake the books. That doesn’t account for the twelve years it’s taken for him to write Winds. Personally, I found the first three books to be astronomically better than the last two, and they were more limited in scope.
  5. “It’s my belief that Winds is taking longer than Feast and Dance combined because he really messed up his story with those two books. His story has grown out of control.” Already explained it.
  6. I disagree. Martin’s writing pace was slowing down long before the show. Feast took 5 years, Dance took 6. It’s my belief that Winds is taking longer than Feast and Dance combined is because he really messed up his story with those two books. His story has grown out of control.
  7. Even without the HBO deal, Martin would have found some other way to distract himself.
  8. House of the Dragon was very good (except for two episodes) but it pales in comparison to GOT.
  9. It’s very easy to comprehend if you simply accept the fact that not everyone shares your opinion. That’s how I understand why people gave The Green Council a higher score than me.
  10. It’s not crazy, not for me anyway. I gave The Green Council a 5/10. The rest of The House of the Dragon episodes, as well as the 73 episodes from GOT, received 6/10 or higher.
  11. It’s been even longer since I’ve seen Lost. Thanks!
  12. Oh, I don’t remember the tattoo part. It’s been a while since I’ve watched.
  13. 5/10. For me, this was the worst episode in the entire GOT universe. After the last two episodes, which were fantastic, I thought HotD was finally finding its legs and was starting to live up to its potential. This episode dashed my hopes a bit, but maybe the finale can right the ship.
  14. It doesn’t matter who was showrunner, they would have run out of source material and had to go their own way eventually.
  15. 7/10. I really liked it, but besides Viserys and Daemon, I don’t feel like many of the other characters stood out as much as the characters in GOT did. The writing wasn’t as good either, but it has potential. My favorite scene was Daemon and Viserys facing off in the throne room. I also thought the tourney and the birthing scene was appropriately brutal. I wasn’t fond of the prophecy at the end, but I don’t like prophecies in general, so it’s a personal thing. All in all, I’m excited for the rest of the season.
  16. Yes, the cast and crew were very happy with how the show ended. What of it? Even if they all hated it, which clearly isn’t the case, that doesn’t change the massive pile of evidence that the final season was well received.
  17. Please do. True, but that might have something to do with some of you trying to turn this into another D&D bashing thread rather than focusing on the upcoming Dunk and Egg adaptation.
  18. Lol, sure, because Benioff and Weiss are such scary people. I’ve seen enough of your videos to know that they carry very little factual information. Your credibility is shot to hell. You should give it a rest already.
  19. Watchers on the Wall have way more journalistic integrity than you, it’s not even close. Like I said, there’s an entire tape that disproves what the lying Twitter user said. It is beyond dispute, though you’re such a partisan hack you’re going to try desperately to disprove it anyway.
  20. I don’t even care if they disliked the final season (why would I?), I just don’t understand why they’re trying to demonize the showrunners. It’s like D&D personally offended them.
  21. The earth being round is backed up by scientific facts, and that’s what I’m doing. Using facts to support my argument. You should try doing the same. All the facts I listed are concrete and clearly point to the final season being highly popular, and you can’t even begin to counter them.
