Looks good!

I'm too invested so I have to watch it.

Same here. (But I had already totally forgotten that the show exists. )

I have just started re wtching GoT. The house of the dragon is pathetic by comparison

Yes, but might be on par with later seasons.

are we going to see one-eye get his come uppance? I doubt it. I havent watched esp 8 yet but I bet it fizzles out rather than a collosal dragon battle

Spot on. Not a bad episode but a tad limp as a season finale.

I totally loved the last third of this episode, making it perhaps the best episode of the show (for me)!

And not only because they spent a big portion of the show's CGI budget here.

I still get the appeal of this but I seriously think that it's mostly "look who can fall even lower next episode" sort of thing.

forceing myself through the episode just reconfirmed my thought that the biggest issue with HoD is that I couldn't give a .... on any of the characters or what is happening. The general writing is bad, the characters are weak, the cast and their performance pathetic.

Clearly shows the screenwriters lack talent to develop the scraps and few leads, pointers and names from the books into a convincing story arc and develop strong character leads.

And probably all decent TV show actors read the manuscript and said "na, let's better go and do another crime procedural, family drama or coming of age comedy.

at last some action long over due

I agree. They finally had some action. I had to re watch the fist few episodes again so I could catch all the sub plots. It is finally getting some traction.

I hope they keep the flow of action going in the remaining episodes from now on.
