Criston Cole becoming an angsty emo poet is something I wasn't expecting. I enjoyed this episode and the whole season overall. Now the long wait for S3 begins.
Daemon the goat ❤❤
Thought the episode was ok but thought it was an underwhelming finale. Looking forward to S3 though
Cobra Kai season 6 episode 5 when?
Hopefully this week I’ve been really busy my bad
i mean. it was a good episode. but a terrible finale. if that makes sense.
Red flags 🚩🚩 started happening when Miguel Sapochnik left the team because HBO refused to give his wife producer credits. He’s still an executive producer but he no longer directs the episodes as he was the main showrunner prior to Ryan Condal taking over. Then HBO decided to cost cut and it was reported that S2 would only get 8 episodes. Then both a writers strike and actors guild strike happened last year. S2 was already doomed from the start.
Now in terms of plot from the season, it started happening by Episode 3 The Burning Mill. This is the episode when Daemon started to get his visions and then finishes off with Rhaenyra needing to sneak into KL as a septa just to have a convo with her former bestie because Daemon left town. The season did start off solid from the first two episodes. Then a decline in Ep. 3 before a series peak with Ep. 4. Then another decline from 3 of the last 4 episodes as Ep. 5, 6, and 8 meandered and went nowhere.
Rewatching The Queen Who Ever Was (a poor title, btw), it’s not that awful. But the fact it was going to be the season finale, it had tons of expectations to deliver and viewers wants spectacle and fireworks knowing we need to wait another 2 years for the next season. Not saying it was a great episode. It wasn’t. Daemon seeing the White Walkers or saying winter is coming in High Valyrian only annoyed viewers because it reminded us on how badly Game of Thrones ended.
The worst scene was the Alicent selling out her two eldest boys. Um, why the change of heart after only 5 episodes later? Didn’t she accidentally start a war from misinterpreting what Viserys said? She’s a bad mother, a hypocrite, traitor, and she’s dead weight. This scene reached Game of Thrones S8 stupidity.
Had it just been an Episode 8 of a 10-episode season, it wouldn’t be looked upon as that awful with the exception of that White Walkers callback and Alicent appearing at Rhaenyra’s doorstep I just mentioned. I think Ep. 8 is about par to Ep. 3, 5, and 6. Nothing really happened. It’s about a 6 or 7 out of 10 but since it’s a finale with higher expectations, people will grade it a 5 or lower.
Season 2 was a step back from Season 1. While we did get some great episodes specifically 2x4 The Red Dragon and the Gold, great acting in 2x2 Rhaenyra the Cruel, and more dragon fun in 2x7 The Red Sowing, half of it sorta meandered and went nowhere. Character development didn’t improve with the exception of Aegon and giving Helaena more to do. Simon Strong ended up the most likable new character over Hugh, Ulf, Alys, and Jeyne, but it mostly comes from his reactions than anything he said.
I wanted more out of the Velaryons and got nothing. We saw Corlys mostly stand next to a ship having a conversation with his wife, one of his bastard sons, or Rhaenyra. Similar to Daemon, he too was stuck being filmed in one location. I wanted more out of Baela and Rhaena and got nothing. And Jace is supposed to be the Robb Stark of this series but I still didn’t get anything out of him that would make me feel emotionally attached to him. He mostly comes off as a whiner.
Why did we need 6 episodes of DaemonVision? Yes, he’s coping like Wanda did in WandaVision. Daemon did lose his only brother he truly loved. And yes, maybe there is a payoff to this after he dies next to Aemond. Don’t blame me because Helaena is spoiling everything. But why so many episodes only to come to the same conclusion? Daemon already bent the knee to Rhaenyra in 1x10 The Black Queen! We didn’t need to rethread this story again for an entire season!
Now let’s get to Alicent…. 🤦🏻 First off, Olivia Cooke is a fantastic actress. One of the best in the cast. Matt Smith and Olivia are two of the top three in billing. All we got out from Daemon in S2 is tripping balls. Having a bad mushroom/acid trip in a haunted castle. All we got out of Alicent is her having sex, dissing Aegon again that led him to getting drunk and getting charcoaled by his brother. And if Alicent wasn’t having sex or being useless, she’s taking a bath or dipping in a pond or having awkward scenes with Rhaenyra. And the show version of Alicent and Criston should get as much blame for Jaehaerys’ death as Daemon. If they weren’t screwing around, someone would’ve protected Helaena’s door.
Matt Smith and Olivia Cooke could’ve been used sparingly this season perhaps appearing in only 4 or 5 episodes but the writers pushed them to do nonsensical things to pad the runtime of these hour-long episodes and to give Daemon and Alicent something to do. Turn Daemon into a loser “husbuncle” to Rhaenrya and deadbeat father because he’s still thirsting for the throne when he’s damn near 50 and have people like Alys Rivers and Oliver Tully dunk on him when he is supposed to be the most dangerous man in all of Westeros during this time.
Aemond is supposed to fear his uncle. Daemon is not supposed to fear his nephew. Is Daemon becoming Jake Skywalker from The Last Jedi? Make Alicent into the shittiest character next to Criston Cole and make her a hypocrite, turncloak, and possible kinslayer? She’s now a worse mother than Cersei! She lost her grandson and she’s willing to sell out two of her sons? And she’s utterly USELESS at this time. As unlikable as Criston is, he can fight. While Alicent can’t even protect all her children from a war she “accidentally” started! It’s either sex or baths from her to cleanse her impurities if she isn’t berating Aegon or pushing him to a throne he never wanted!
Whichever side you’re on whether Team Black or Team Green, or if you’re not on either side and think HOT D is mostly rich white people’s problems and you think they’re all bad (except Helaena and the dragons), we all got to admit the character development from both sides was lacking. I rewatched S1 prior to S2 airing and there’s a noticeable difference in quality. S1’s worst episode might be 1x6 The Princess and the Queen thanks to some rushed plot points and the time jump, but even that is better than half of Season 2. And 1x6 was written by Sara Hess but directed by Miguel Sapochnik.
Sara Hess: White man bad! Make woman look good and heroic! Daemon is no Paul Rudd and is a terrible person! Down with the patriarchy! Down with toxic white man masculinity! And let’s add a lesbian kiss scene with Rhaenyra and Mysaria because I’m a lesbian!
Nice! We got another Leslye-bian Headland from The Acolyte over here. An activist. Not a writer and is pretending she read the books. Losing Miguel Sapochnik was a big deal. He directed some of the best episodes from Game of Thrones. Ryan Condom and Sara Mess will ruin it with their fanfic nonsense.
Again, if we didn’t get this ridiculous scene where Alicent is selling out her sons and Ep. 8 didn’t have the burden being the finale with higher expectations, it’s not that terrible. I even enjoyed the Abigail Thorn scenes when “they” joked about eating human flesh and asking Tyland to have children with “them”. Awkward pause from Tyland got me laughing 😂 as he looked obviously confused before Sharako mentioned about “their” wives. Do you remember from the early 90s the “It’s Pat” skits from SNL? People couldn’t figure out Pat’s gender. That’s what Tyland experienced when meeting Sharako.
Oh well, let’s hope S3 is the “action” season. S2 is the “filler” season. S1 was the “setup” season. The Battle at Rook’s Rest was still great though even with some changes to it and that’s probably where most of the S2 budget went to. S3 should start with the Battle of the Gullet. The craziest naval fight we may ever see. As disappointing as S2 is, you know damn well you’re still tuning in for S3 in 2026 the moment you can see it. Let’s just look at S2 as a mulligan thanks to some cost cutting decisions and strikes. The Age of Ultron of the four Avengers movies. Not truly awful. A mixed bag with a few merits.
Marvel, Star Wars, and ThroneVerse, the more they all want to expand their deep lore with so many different projects coming from different creators with varying visions to their lore, the more diluted the lore becomes. GRRM said they have 7 different projects in the works. It’s going to grow stale like what happened to MCU and SW. GRRM is already 75. His lore will get more diluted after he dies because it’s no longer coming from him but from several hack writers. Look at Disney Star Wars. It’s become a trash brand and George Lucas isn’t even dead yet. Tolkien will be rolling in his grave again when The Rings of Power S2 comes out.
Be excited for House of the Dragon Season 3 and 4, but don’t get too excited knowing there’s going to be changes we all have to live with. Look at HOT D Season 2 this way: Still better than most MCU and Star Wars series on Disney+. Even at it’s worst, HOT D S2 remains better than The Mandalorian S3, Ahsoka, The Acolyte, Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Book of Boba Fett, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, Moon Knight, Secret Invasion, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Echo…
Let’s wait 10 more months for A Knight of a Seven Knights. To some who only want to see dragons from these type of medieval fantasy shows, it may not be appealing to them. But the Dunk & Egg series with only 6 episodes should keep Burlington Bar busy with their awesome reactions in Chicago next year. A Song of Ice and Fire is truly headed to where MCU and Star Wars already are. Another IP trap filled with diluted quality. Star Wars no longer excites their fans. Just another visit to McDonald’s. Luster wore off years ago. May happen again to all these Game of Thrones spin-offs.
this show is a complete mess
Show sucks, I can’t even say I’m team black idk how tf you can be team black with how boring the characters are, this show is making the same mistake GOT made. So why even reference GOT in this show a bad Omen 😂this shit was a literal waste of a season, this entire season could’ve been made in 3-4 episodes easy. But HBO gotta make that $$$$ so we now get these SET UP seasons! wtf bro they fucked up, this finale just brought back memories of GOT ending and how season 1 was so true to the source material this season they thought fuck it let’s make up our own shit 😂it’s literal 💩
Don't watch then...
Yeah, make all the alliances and have all the issues solved in 3 espisodes EASY, SURE MATE ! Go back to Yugioh
It wasn't a good episode or a good finale.
And this scene rhaenyra and alicent was one of the most stupid and unnecessary scenes. They need to change writers because they suck.
There are two female writers that hate daemon and had him stuck in harrenhal for too much time . Thsi season was filled with unnecessary scenes first the kiss that was improvised with mysaria and now this one of Alicent.
@@carla3693 yes but So it's not the kissing scene that's improvised, that's written in the script, but the hug before it that's improvised.
Alicent isn’t EVEN around in the book at this point in the story. She leaves. This season is all crap the war is happening while rhanyra I can’t spell it and Alicent speak at dragon stone? Which never happens lol season 2 is hey guys get excited for season 3 because season 2 shows nothing. Then they show the armies marching, yet the war is already broken out lol ! I don’t get wtf these writers are doing, but it works listen to these people clapping, clapping for fucking cliffhangers! 3 year long cliffhangers like can’t yall see it’s just to keep certain characters around like Alicent who is nowhere this big in the book, or making rhanyra become this soft ass pussy who’s too scared to fight lol when that’s a 360 difference from her in the book. I heard the show writers were woman and it makes so much sense now. All the woman are emotionally smart yet tactical and almost perfect humans being able to forgive the other for murdering their children, like come on no fucking way does Alicent walk into dragon stone she’d be burnt to a crisp on her ship before ever arriving, this is all added for the show, also episode 7 teasing the armies marching and dragons flying overhead was a HUGE troll. People will not like this as long as they aren’t brain dead. Season 2 of house is literally brain dead, we see none of the carnage the civil war between the greens and the blacks has caused and just see the same location episode after episode, like why need to show them eating fucking dinner for 5 minutes to show Oaff is a dumbass we all already know that, or the mud wrestling scene??? Like wtf is this a show about a civil war or a playful show about how woman friendships can survive even if when both ordered the murder of the children of the other cuz that’s true woman power if you ask me😂 this shit is becoming a parody. And no excuses we didn’t have the source material no you chose incompetent writers no matter woman or man, both have destroyed the world of Westeros, and yes we will throw in some fan fair to GOT, cuz why not none of that happens for hundreds of years but who cares, I’d not be suprised if the white walkers invaded and the dance of the dragons was ended to team up in season 3 to become the avengers of Westeros! Let’s go marvel House of the Woman! Sign me up cuz the civil war obviously will just get time skipped and watch them give plot armor to a character in the books who 100% dies, any thing is possible now. Lmao I wonder how many people tasted that sour ending of GOT season 8 finale after seeing how far they’ve fallen from season 1 to season 2, season 2 might as well be hey guys we’re gunna take this season off but we’ll be back in 3 years for season 3 lmfao sad how bad these writers are even when they have the full source material
What would be a good finale then ?
@@carla3693 If Daemon switch his brain in two episodes to really be loyal to Rhaenyra after all he has done, does that make sense for you then ?
It wasn't a good episode
Terrible episode in all honesty
