mikeyp102 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I enjoyed the start. Setting the scene well. Think they’ve gone for more gore this time around. Matt Smith seems a good fit for the role, in typical GOT style they’ll probably kill him off first (I jest). I’m putting it out there, he’s going to become the Ice King (complete guess not based off any lore of the books). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Decent start, but when they mentioned the potential threat that will come from the North it brought back all the disappointment from the end of GOT. I’d prefer if they don’t tie in too much to GOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoyed the first episode. Just enough references to the original series as well. Looking forward to next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I'm liking it. I might wait for a few more episodes to air so I can have a bigger helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Political posturing, a slither of gratuitous violence and a sprinkling of bewbs, it’s like early Thrones again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Sounds like it has gone down well. Will watch it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 It was pretty decent all things considered. It's never going to be up there with Reno 911 but it has potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Fell asleep twice trying to watch this, may wait until all 10 episodes are out then watch it all at once. It took me a while to get into the original GOT so not writing this off just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only show I've done it for in years was Severance as I made the mistake of watching the first couple and got hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Enjoyed the first episode. Some good stuff some bad stuff some hideously unsubtle stuff. Seen a lot of criticism online for Matt Smith but thought he was excellent and slimy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Enjoyed it but like others don’t want to wait a week for the next one. So may need to let a few episodes build up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Not bad. Not even remotely close to peak GoT standards, but that is a tough ask for any show. Will stay with it. Edited August 25, 2022 by El Zen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 GoT was at its best whilst both following the source material but with the political manoeuvring and such. So House of the Dragon leaning more towards that its been good so far. Spoiler Viserys asking what he should do with his brother then suggesting he send him to the Wall as a ludicrous suggestion that is quite literally the best case scenario for him to do if he wants to keep him alive as he doesn't have to kill him, he cannot politically move against Rhaenyra or the crown, and means he can't sire more children which is also a potential future problem. Why was sending him to the Wall not the immediate course of action?? Crush his rebellion and exile him to the North! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I fell asleep watching episode 2, which is never a good sign. What I watched was pretty boring, and the most potentially exciting scene was basically Spoiler pretty stupid. "Daemon stole a dragon egg" is a plot twist that a child would've come up with. I really hope the rest of the episode improves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 We got the theme tune and intros back. It’s not bad, let’s not forget GOT was slow to start. I think Matt Smith is doing a good job. A 12 yr old… eurgh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 The Targaryens are basically all Jimmy Savile cosplayers. I'm glad their gaff got blew up or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 30, 2022 Watched the first episode last night. It was ok. Started poorly and got better. Considine did a lot of the heavy lifting as he often does. I'll watch it, but like many others, with how GoT finished so terribly I'm struggling to muster much enthusiasm for this. It doesn't matter all that much but the effects look awful in this. The dragon looked incredibly fake and most of the scenery looks like a cartoon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 Finally got round to watching 1st episode. I thought it was great. Has massive potential Definitely feels like game of thrones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 30, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 30, 2022 The beauty of waiting is that if it's good I can binge. Seems promising so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
