A whole season of preamble :( Soooooo slow! House of the Dragon Season 1 was quite literally one of my favorite seasons of tv ever made. It was consistent in pace, compelling at every second, and the plot was constantly thick with turns.
THIS SEASON INSTEAD HAS MOVED AT A SNAILS PACE. NOTHING has truly happened apart from Rhaneys' death. I cannot BELIEVE this finale ended with a "promise of what to come" like we haven't committed 8 hours to this season?!
Daemon has been in a hallucinogenic state, Rhaena runs after a dragon all episode, Rhanerya takes NO steps of action when she finally has the upper hand, and another conversation between Rhanerya and Alicent takes up most of the show without anything truly coming of it when we know Aegon's gone.
I cannot believe this show has completely switched to one where for the most part nothing has happened. Scenes are dragged out and if you can believe it the war never starts.
