I have been liking it a lot. Just all of it really, but especially the two protagonists. The little boy who plays Egg is going to have a hell of an acting career ahead of him. He really steals every single scene especially with his emotive range for such a young actor. Dunk is also great in that humdrum naive farm boy aspiring to be a hedge knight way but his performance is far more subdued. Together their performances compliment each other wonderfully.

No but I'll check it out (not like how I told you I'd check out Fallout). I was actually enjoying HotD for whatever its flaws because it felt like they weren't quite as up their own ass about owning the epic behemoth IP, if that makes sense. Kind of like what FlakesBongler said about this series compared to GoT or HotD ironically. I wish we'd have gotten those last two episodes of season 2, I am always ready for some fantasy medieval naval engagements and Abigail Thorn is serving [user was intercepted by v*lcel police before finishing this thought, carry on citizens] volcel-judge .

I kind of didn't think about AKotSK even thought I saw ads for it because I thought, oh they're going to try to keep milking this. But if it is more of a human-level experience in the ASOIAF world, that actually does sound enjoyable. It's been .... a decade?! yes-honey-left since I read the books but I like how GRRM breathes life into all the small folk who are getting absolutely steamrolled by events.

those last two episodes of season 2

Wait what?

Unless I am mistaken, S2 of House of the Dragon was planned to have two more episodes. Those were cut because of scheduling restraints around the writer's strike. This would have included a big naval battle around King's Landing? I think, it's been a minute.

It's not 100% known why the episode count was reduced so late in the process, but it likely had something to do with the actors and writers strikes of 2023 making production more difficult. To ensure that House of the Dragon season 2 still got out in a timely manner, HBO may have lopped off a couple episodes at the end.

Damn I did not know that. I would have loved to see more of the naval stuff too. One of my favorite parts of the books was Euron Greyjoy and his mysterious journey to and back from the smoking sea.

The plot beats from the cut episodes are very impactful to the story, so they have to put them into the beginning of s3 in some form.
