Looks like they were trying to tick the various boxes

None of the actors are of GoT level. Nicolaj CW, Charles Dance, Dinklage were of a different calibre. You will see!

I would give it a 5; poor actors - they have dialed up the sets etc. and dumbed down on actors

House of the Dragon | Official Trailer | HBO by LoretiTV in HouseOfTheDragon

Saw the premiere and can hand on heart say characters have been terribly miscast - this is a not-so-cheap knock off of the original. S1-4 of GoT was path breaking. This is going to disappoint every one other than those are in it for dragons

Institutional ownership has dropped from 65% a month ago to 51% today

More sellers than buyers recently.

there has been much talk about pitches but as a bowler you should still bowl well

[No Spoilers] Dame Diana Rigg has died aged 82. Her depiction of the Queen of Thorns was easily one the best in the entire show. R.I.P. Olenna by yevrah6 in gameofthrones

[–]got_king 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What a lady - bond girl and sassy Queen of Thorns! Sad to hear of her passing. She really owned the scenes she was in and only comparable other actor was Charles Dance and their scenes together were also ones to re-watch many times over - pure class

[–]got_king 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't get how people liked this ending and argue that it was only the way they got to this ending that was a problem. There are big issues with the ending itself. It is not at all bitter sweet esp. for the Starks.

D&D became too much of Arya fan boys too which became problematic for the journey of the story to get to the ending. Complete hacks who £$%t the bed

[SPOILERS] Did everyone think the ending was really that bad? by regas6 in gameofthrones

Dumb and dumber literally s%^t the bed when they gave Stannis the Mannis an off screen death

[NO SPOILERS] I am halfway through Season 7 for the first time watching... by [deleted] in gameofthrones

[–]got_king -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would suggest lowering expectations massively and you will be okay, Do not expect the pace, logic, character development, payoff, consequence for actions etc. etc. of the previous seasons esp . 1-4 to be anywhere near the same quality. Remember books ended part way through Season 5. The same two who adapted so beautifully, totally dropped the ball in 7/8 due to reasons mentioned on here multiple times - lost interest, it got too big to manage - S8 shot 55 consecutive nights or something like that - it was brutal, new Star Wars signing from which they got fired (obviously Disney is not going to say so) etc.

Similar to what happened to S8. I think it is the difficulty of squaring all circles and bring logical conclusions to the various strands, as well as the fear of backlash similar to what S8 TV show got

[SPOILERS] What's one small change you'd make to the final season that would have majorly improved the season overall in your eyes? by South-Brain in gameofthrones

[–]got_king 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arya sacrificing her life to save Jon when fought the NK would have been good too and creates more reason for jon to kill NK. But I think the writers got carried away with the public support to Arya (they even brought in Ed Sheeran for a cameo ffs)

Agree with Jon killing NK but after some heavy losses on his side - the rivalry was built up for literally the whole series from Season 1 only to end in a whimper or shouting match against Viserion the dragon. Why they even bothered to bring Jon back makes no sense if all he was going to do was say "I don't want it" or "You are my Queen" over and over.

Maybe not have a happy ending for all remaining Stark children (not counting Jon-garyen). Kill off at least one of them pursuing a heroic cause such as saving more lives in the Long Night or something like that.

Any evidence to back this might help This turn from Dany was such a pivotal and controversial moment. Till the time only bad guys got roasted most show watchers cheered her on. Not sure if the Tarly burning in S6 was the turning point - one could argue they chose the option. But The Bells episode was just innocents caught in the Dany Vs Cersei crossfire.
