So Season 2 as a whole:


8 hours to tell us:

Daemon went to Harrenhal, hallucinated a whole lot and got an army from the river lords.
Rat catchers killed Jaehaerys
Rhaenyra secretly met Alicent to sue for peace and vice versa.
Aemond burned his brother to overthrow him and killed princess grandma.
Rhaenyra found 3 new riders for her dragons.
Black dad was absent
Ser Criston Cole is even more boring and uninteresting than thought possible.

Riveting.

I chuckled at "Princess Grandma".

Season 2 also taught us that if people don't get enough food, they'll become hungry. It was shown so many times that even I know it by now.

That's actually a very accurate description, though the length was probably closer to 10 hours. It felt like 30.

reply

"Black dad was absent" is just so boring. And they kept and kept repeating it.

We get it the first time.

And they didn't tell the only interesting part - how and why Corlys Velaryon cheated on his beloved wife. With whom. And affair was going on for few years since there are two sons. And how did they knew it was him who is their daddy. And they all silently acknowledge that they all know who he is.

I decided to try and give this show another chance but it just doesn't work for me. The only interesting and appealing character to me is Daemon. But not enough to continue watching this boring show.

So long House of the Dragon. This one's for you:

Never have I thought I'd be fast-forwarding an HBO show based on ASOIAF.
In some scenes you can actually feel good actors struggling to do SOMETHING with an unbearably meh script.

Season 2 taught me that fanbases are whiny, entitled little pricks that throw a world class hissy fit whenever a show dares to commit the biblical crime of going three seconds without a dragon fight or panty shot. And they'll throw dumb buzz phrases like "bad writing" and "filler," like every other idiot does when they want to convince other idiots they're smart, but the reality is that they have the attention span of a gold fish and don't actually engage in the story on screen.
