@@VoiceofOldtown Good to hear that about Matt, but one reviewer said they were disappointed in the lack of attention given to rhaenyra so far this season and that it felt like she was disappearing from her own show, but based on the things you've said about Emma I don't see how that could be true. Do you feel like rhaenyra took a step back in this first half of the season or was that reviewer just trying to stir up unnecessary drama?
@@VoiceofOldtown That’s wonderful to hear. I get a little proprietary where Matt is concerned. It’s kind of a Doctor Who thing. But thanks so much for the info!
Yeah I’m gonna have to disagree with you about the writing changes based on the facts that most of writers even admitted in interviews that they didn’t read the source material, it’s clear that all the changes they made in the first season are because of shock value and nothing else. If the leaks are true for the next season, they definitely didn’t learn or take any feedback
The fact that Emmas getting this type of praise for the part of the season where they don't even have that much to do yet is insane. Hopefully these award shows act like they have some sense.
Could you please answer a question from me with a yes or no so it won't be spoiling anything for anyone? After the event that happens in Episode 1, Does Alicent at least feel guilt realizing that she screwed up?
Do we finally get at least a decent amount of Sunfyre in this season? He is the best dragon in the book and they disregarded him in season 1. My biggest complaint
Are the leaks about Blood and Cheese true? Seems really stupid to change one of the biggest moments in Fire and Blood...it's like changing The Red Wedding.
@@phlasaban Just found out. I don't know if you've seen all 4 episodes, but I am willing to bet everything I own that now that the writers have made Alicent a bad mother who's only concern is screwing Criston and also managed to make B&C her fault shifting the blame away from Daemon, we won't see anymore Alicole. Am I warm?
As someone who has defended both Alicent and Cole, what they did to them was an awful choice, they worked better in that platonic/chivalry love kind of way 😢
Rhaenyra is a saint and Aegon is an animated cartoon villain, the writers will tell you "pick your side" when they clearly have a preference for black gear.
@@AnaAguilera-jc5kl Sad but true. It bothers me how people hate on Cole for murdering Joffrey and the old lord (among other things) but gleefully ignore the fact that Daemon murdered his first wife. Also, how am I supposed to root for Rhaenyra and her kids with Daemon when they’re illegitimate? I can’t ignore that and it bothers me.
@@spartanmuse Criston Cole is one of the coolest and most interesting characters in Fire and Blood, while in the series he is a resentful and hypocritical man. In the book he is the best swordsman of his time and the commander of the royal guard by his own merit. They completely butchered his character.
@@manvirshergill1739 That's true for GOT, not HoTD. The first four seasons of GOT cannot be duplicated and all we had then was pretty much the political intrigue to keep it moving. With HoTD, the writing is too sloppy and inconsistent and the pacing isn't the greatest. This show will need those fights, sadly.
Their fault for overhyping it like a superbowl event or a red wedding event. In the books B&C was clearly written for the sake of having a shock value event.
@@TheTidesong Red wedding moved and concluded plots. Blood and cheese didnt. What did B&C do ?? Only thing it did was make everyone depressed for lil bit. Haelena could've been killed and it would've been more effective
@@gudhaxer41343 I don't think "they" overhyped it.....fans did. This has literally been debated on forums since F&B was released in 2018, as it is on of the most wtf moments in Martin's universe. It's simple yet completely heinous....all I have to ask is how? How do you fuck something like this up?! The writing choices make no sense and I will be honest and say that I like Aegon, Helaena and Daeron, but, I cannot stand the other on team Green. What I have heard makes me hate Alicent and Criston more than I already do, something I didn't even think was possible. Their hypocrisy is beyond too much to stomach.
@@gudhaxer41343agreed. It was NEVER a 'Red Wedding' type event. All the hype RUclipsrs trying to pretend it was going to be like that were absolutely ridiculous.
Got early screeners? Our boy is moving up in the world
Did he get screeners because he’s a big channel in Germany?
He likes all of the Aegon scenes interesting......... Much love and looking forward to working with you every week!
Haha 😂 can‘t wait my friend!
I LOVE how he sits in that Throne of Swords...it cradles him.
The only preview I need! Super excited after hearing your thoughts amigo, can’t wait for the streams!
I'm so excited for Tom Glynn Carney and Emma D'arcy. Cant wait to watch the episode on 17th June
how did sunfyre look??? better than the trailer snippets?
I could already tell Tom was going to be great by the trailers. He’s a natural. I’m very disappointed to hear that Matt Smith gets wasted, again
He absolutely doesn‘t! I can‘t really talk about him without spoiling things and instead wanted to highlight Tom Glynn Carney😄

@@targlife2979That’s a product of the book, not the show. In the book she does virtually nothing most of the war.

A lot of leaks circulating that the North only gets a 5min scene. What a bummer.

The first episode is a cluster. Especially if your pro Greens. They managed to ruin two characters in just one episode.
I can’t believe how much Cregan Stark reminds me of Geralt from the Witcher 3 game, maybe he could play him at some point 😆
Fun Fact...I built CGI environments on Season 2! 😁
You did a phenomenal job! 😄😄
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts after Sunday.
Please tell me if we will see Vermax or not (in 1st 4 episodes)?
The fact that Emmas getting this type of praise for the part of the season where they don't even have that much to do yet is insane. Hopefully these award shows act like they have some sense.
Ah, strange to see you outside of the House of the Dragon official subreddit
So excited! 🙌 Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Where you can see the episodes ?
dont take this the wrong way, but you look like sir cristin 😅great video though!
Lmao I take that as a compliment 😂 Thank you!! 😄
Would you say Tom Emma and Matt smith are the mvp in the first half of the season
Thank you !this really seems promising🔥🐉
Go Green 💚
Usurpers! 😂
@@double_courage57 I know you're kidding, but I think it's hilarious that people get so upset by it. Zoomers 🙄... lol
@@jacebales2951 of course, it’s all cool. I think Daemon should’ve been King, he’s the only one trying to save the house.
I think it fun, we can choose different sides. Let us escape into this world. But at the same time get hurt by it. LOL
@@keystorm8598 yeah, I agree it's fun, I'm just messing around. I bought my Team Alicent shirt from the Warner Bros shop online today 🤣🤣...
Could you please answer a question from me with a yes or no so it won't be spoiling anything for anyone? After the event that happens in Episode 1, Does Alicent at least feel guilt realizing that she screwed up?
I'll take that as a yes?
Just found your channel and subscribed...
You said a particular new actor/actress impressed in the first 2 episodes - do they continue to impress in the next two? (Ep 3 & 4)
I've then seen episode 3 and 4 and was even more impressed with another new cast member. :D
Without spoilers... how is Sunfyre?
Whatcha think of Aemond
Do we finally get at least a decent amount of Sunfyre in this season? He is the best dragon in the book and they disregarded him in season 1. My biggest complaint
Nothing about Aemond? Everybody is saying he is going to be a menace.
How are the 99% of people that haven't seen it supposed to discuss?
How good was episode 4 was it epic?
Are you going to livestream after Sunday's episode?
Yes! Right after the episode 😄
I feel very conflicted about this season. Seems like they truly botched some important scenes
From where did u got season 2 episode before release
Good question
All hail king Aegon💚
Are the leaks about Blood and Cheese true? Seems really stupid to change one of the biggest moments in Fire and Blood...it's like changing The Red Wedding.
How long are the episodes? They better not be 1 hour
Very long.
@@VoiceofOldtown 🙏🏾🙏🏾 all I was hoping for
Is Jeyne Arryn in episode3?
I hope the Alicent and Cole thing isnt true, because it is going to ruin her character if it is. Even pro Greens people will hate her and Criston.
It is sorry
@@phlasaban Just found out.

S1 had 0 action until vhagar eats the little Prince in s1 ep 10.
What about the Tourney in episode 1, The War For the Stepstones, Criston vs Joffrey and Rhaenys at the Dragonpit?
Aegon II. mi rey 💚
I'm petty, the Blacks whitewashing prevents from liking the show lol.
Rhaenyra is a saint and Aegon is an animated cartoon villain, the writers will tell you "pick your side" when they clearly have a preference for black gear.
@@AnaAguilera-jc5kl yeah when the show started it was fun seeing the community pick sides and debate and meme it but as the episodes went on...
Get out of this echo chamber
@@AnaAguilera-jc5kl Sad but true. It bothers me how people hate on Cole for murdering Joffrey and the old lord (among other things) but gleefully ignore the fact that Daemon murdered his first wife.

Slower? I'm expecting dragon on dragon action. 😢
Just wait until Episode 4
Ep 4 you will get it just relax we have to earn it.
@@chrisb6753 I am ok with it. Episode one was great.
Woice of Wld Wown
There’s no action in season 2? 😭 I need dragon fights
There will be dragon fights lol trust me.
Why? The best part about this franchise is the political intrigue and the excellent character work.
