Not even sure if I’m going to watch the last season of House of the Dragons.
I would absolutely go for another five years of this, though.
Yeah, I need to check this one out. I will probably do it when I finish with Fallout.
I liked the first season of the HotD but didn’t get to second yet. Is it bad? Didn’t hear much discourse on it
It’s no season one, but I still enjoyed season two.
Without spoiling anything the end of season two doesn’t really work, but it doesn’t work because the season just sorta ends. If season three can pay off and finish the story of season two, as well as tell the next step of the story in season three, then I think it will all work out.
There are some other issues with season two, and during season two and going into season three GRRM has some harsh feedback. A creator isn’t always right, but it is concerning.
I think season two is worth getting into as preparation for season three, but if you waited I think that’s fine too.
Between seasons 4 & 5 of Game of Thrones I read all the released books and three Dunk & Egg novellas. The first novella, The Hedge Knight, was my absolute favorite of the three and when talk of spinoffs began I was really hoping we would get Dunk & Egg.
The first season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has been basically perfect. It’s everything I could have asked for, plus some excellent new stuff that fits the story and world well.
I think the second novella is the weakest of the three, not bad but not as memorable as the first. However based on what we got from season one I expect the show runner Ira Parker will know what to add and change to keep it worth watching.
The lives of Dunk & Egg are interesting, so this show has lots of story left to tell. And if we make it to the ending (possibly 12-15 stories later), it’ll be a hell of a ride.
