No be everybody get that time like you. It's the same people that watched and enjoyed GOT dey complain about HOTD. Each man to his opinion.

It's a 10/10 movie - good for you but I consider it a 4/10.

I don't have problems with anyone not enjoying this season. I also consider this season below par compared to S1.

Where I have problems with is people clearly misunderstanding character arcs or story development. So I have a problem cos some don't even fully grasp what they watched and then now rate something they hardly understood in the first place. It's easy to pass off shït cos many people deservedly have issues with this season....but some will judge it on something they genuinely don't fully understand.

I remember how here was filled with controversial fights a month or so ago, cos some people somehow couldn't detect that Frenchie was g@y in THE BOYS. Despite seasons of obvious signs.
Later them go shout say "this came out of the blue" when na dem no pay attention.

Na where I get problem be that. Not genuinely stating and critically analysing the problems within the show.
How can you expect me to trust your certificate as my mathematics teacher when I hear you say 1+1= 11??

What my cousins do is that they all pay one one account. 3 brothers, 3 accounts on a netflix plan. So you only pay 4 times a year.

I don't pay for netflix but that is what they told me.

Can that work?

Even with that the billing has gotten too much.. it was just barely how many months ago that they increased premium price from ₦4,200 to ₦5,000...

Now ₦7,000..

I am sure before the year is over they will hike it again

True but I have become over reliant on the ease of getting my shows in one place but they haven't released any good stuff I care about in months to warrant the hike. I am still on the fence sha to continue or no. Lets see how the rest of the year goes.

I really don't understand you people in this thread again oo. Y'all are making me feel crazy cos e no be like na same show we dey watch.

Helaena seeing visions was as plain as day for me since S1.
• She forsaw Aemond losing his eye as punishment for acquiring Vhagar and told him
• She saw Rhaenys using her dragon to break free during the coronation.
This are S1 I can remember off the top of my head.

• She knew her son was going to be killed by Blood and cheese this season.
• Told Aemond his fate.

So I don't understand how are these not obvious to a viewer. Only those two feats in season 1 is enough to make you believe she is a seer, knowing about two big events before it happened.

E just be like everybody dey choose wetin dem wan see and believe. No wahala sha. Everybody go dey alright.

She's a background character. She has no depth in the show. I read the books that's why I know she was born like that. In the show between season 1 and 2 I barely remember her sef.

The fact you can and do remember her doesn't mean everyone else does. Her character in the show is negligible and not given much consideration

Her character in the books is even more negligible than the show itself. The show even tried to give her more prominence and added depth. She had basically no depth in the books. She's probably the most improved character vs the books and prolly Rhaena. Cos they're mostly insignificant in the books. In the books, it wasn't stated Helaena was a dreamer or not... She was just distant and lacked any character depth.

I think HOTD needs time. The first few seasons of it's predecessor, GOT, were very horrible, bland, and boring. Infact, I almost gave up. GOT didn't start packing steam until the third season, that is when it became interesting and enticing.

Wait a minute!!! It may seems as though, that i have been seeing different folks dropping comments on how season 1 and 2 of the games of thrones were boring and wasn't that good and i am beginning to wonder if it was the same game of thrones that i watched.

From the episode 1 of the season 1 of the games of thrones all the way to the entire season 2 were hits back to back for me.
Infact i was addicted to game of thrones right from season 1, i never really cared about the dragons if i am being honest, my addiction was for the plots and characters especially sansa stark.
From the season one to 2, my major likeness was for the plots and characters and not until the dragons started coming up but even before the dragons, i was already deep, so deep in love with the series and the character development of the casts.

Sansa stark was the reason i fell in love with the series right from episode 1 of the season 1 and this is why till today, she remains my most favorite character in all game of throne franchise including house of the dragons.

Another cast i fell in love with too was queen cercie.

The reason we are angry with house of the dragons is that we are in 2024 and we no longer have the patience and time we had many many years ago when the game of throne season 1 was released, back then we had all the time in the world, we were younger, no distractions and we had limited series to watch.

But in this 2024 and this new age, time is no longer on our side, so many things to face in life like work, family, personal time, economy, politics, and more and let us not forget the numerous series in their hundreds being uploaded daily, so in this time, if you will be dropping a series, you better hit the ground running because it's not like they will be giving us the 10 to 15 episodes they use to give us back in the days without fillers.

If you are going to be giving us 8 episodes, then you better hit the ground running without fillers.

For example, i just read that the next game of thrones spinoff coming out next year will be just 6 episodes.
Personally thats nonsense because they will still waste our time like they did in the season 2 of the house of the dragons.
At this point, if they continue like this, the entire game of thrones franchise will soon die and lose its fans influence and people will soon move on from the franchise.

"I'd give House of Dragons Season 2 a solid 4/10. Contrary to what some people say, it's not comparable to Game of Thrones. GOT was only slow in the first two episodes of Season 1 because we were still getting familiar with the numerous characters, their names, regions, and cities. But after episode 2, it was pure gold until the end.

As for Rhaenyra, she's an ashawo character, to say the least. Her promiscuity is quite striking, and it's hard to imagine how she'll rule the kingdom when she can't even control her desires. She's had children with three different men, married her uncle, and who knows how many more children she'll have by the end of Season 4? And now, she's kissing a girl ? It's a bit excessive, if you ask me.

On the other hand, Alicent Hightower is a different story altogether. She remained loyal to Rhaenyra's father until his death and only got intimate with Ser Criston Cole after that. And when she got pregnant, she took charge of her situation by drinking potions to eliminate the pregnancy. Now, that's a queen who thinks smart.

Game of Thrones had well-developed characters, memorable quotes, and valuable lessons to learn from characters like Littlefinger, Tyrion Lannister, and many others. Unfortunately, House of Dragons doesn't quite live up to that standard."

Exactly, you nailed it. The characters in GOT were all likable, you see yourself rooting for a whole lot of characters. When it comes to the wittiest character, you just have to love Tyrion Lannister, Arya Stark is a perfect depiction of revenge is a dish best served cold, Daenerys Targaryen the perfect definition of an overachiever, our golden boy Jon Snow, then if you're looking for a mentor to walk you through the ropes of how to become a good villian, Cersei Lannister is your best bet, Theon Greyjoy the rude je..rk. Ramsay Bolton the psy..chotic power hungry little socio..path, the list is endless.

The characters in HOTD are just there, there's nothing likable or remarkable about them so far. Otto Hightower who is supposed to be the primary antagonist was MIA all through season 2. Take out Aemond Targaryen now and the show dies a sudden dea.th.

And some of the notable quotes from GOT I still remember them, that's to tell how remarkable the show was. Winter is coming, Leave one Wolf alive and the sheep are never safe, My watch has ended, A linnister always pays his debt.

GOT set the bar really high, I'm not sure any show would ever be it's equal or be better than it.
