Title: House of the Dragon

I know we have a few GoT fan boys.

I was wondering what your take on the new prequel that's just popped. No spoilers please

So far it's only one episode and for me it didn't have the impact I expected for a show opener... The look of the Chars feel like a prom dress bought from "Wish". For example the Daenerys lookalike has a quirky look that shouts out to much alcohol during pregnancy. Im struggling to take Dr Who serious. Viserys The dad gave me little empathy for the crap he's going through.

I hope it revs up but for the opening storyline it didn't get me engaged or shocked. The usual gore and sex we get for GoT seemed to be shoehorned in with no impact or investment to the consequences

I was thinking of holding off until the whole season was released but I'm not sure my attention could hold two episodes in a row

Lets hope it gets better 6/10:flirty:

I'm still feeling a little burnt from the end of GoT to know whether I wanna go back & do it all again, I might wait till the season is done & see what people think of it all then.

I'm waiting until the whole thing is out before giving it a go, but as Rizzy I can't say I'm terribly excited to jump back into the world. GoT left a bitter taste in my mouth overall.

Rings of Power however..... Seriously pumped.

Yep as above. The further they got from Martin's books the further down the drain the series went. I have zero expectations for this but who knows?
