It was a rocky road to get there, but the multi generational aspect of it is now, after 2 full seasons, playing out really nicely. And while there is the potential for the focus on the dragon fighting to draw into the worst bits of what GoT became (big expensive fight scenes that take the focus away from the individual scheming that made it interesting) the way the episode ended last night was fucking great.

Emma D’Arcy - I’m not ready to say great actress. Sometimes I hate listening to her as Rhaenyra but some of her expressions (when she doesn’t speak) gave me goosebumps in this episode.
After he discussion (in Old Valyrian) with the order guy before entering the dragon pit and even more in the dragon pit when she touched Vermithor.
Just started watching Silo. 3 episodes in and wishing i had watched it sooner.

What an amazing disappointment that season ender was. There were good elements in it, but as an end to a season it fell completely flat and killed all the momentum gained in the previous episode

Watched the remaining episodes this evening. Absolutely loved it (bar the odd accent slippage). Can’t wait for the second season in November.

Am I the only one who steers clear of any film or TV series that has the word “dystopian” in the marketing blurb?

I’m referring to the official spiel released by the marketing department, not online reviews.
So you can take your boom back.

To be honest I had never noticed the blurb. I knew David Oleyumo and Tim Robbins were in it and that it was a mystery/suspense show and thought I would give it a go, expecting to not watch more than 1 or 2 episodes.
House of the Dragon season finale felt like an one hour trailer for season 3.

It’s being reported that budget cuts caused them to cut the season from 10 to 8 episodes, but the episodes had already been planned out. The writers striker then prevented them doing enough reworking to cut back enough to squeeze the same story into 8 episodes so they just filmed what they had and stopped the season with effectively 2 episodes left to film.
WB skimping out on the one product it is banking on to save itself.
Reminds me of the animated Lord of the Rings back in the 80’s which ran out of money so they missed out something like 2/3rds of the book - basically adding the last 5 minutes of the story onto the first third

Have moved onto Archer for my switching off cartoon. I’m enjoying it; there’s better Bond parodies, but this one is decent.
