Me too, but this is House of the Dragon, it's not just some regular show I'd watch two or three episodes of and then ditch.
109 sucked. Usually the production value holds my attention and I can sit through an episode, but I started jumping through 109, then just skipped to the end. So so dumb. Ugh. Just to pile onto this redundant conversation, sometimes it goes; good episode, dumb episode, good episode, bad episode, meh episode, but it's still worth watching until a certain point and that point is different for everyone; could be somewhere in season 3 you stop, could be the pilot. I'll still watch the end of this season, but it got worse.
well it is far better than the Lord of the Rings prequel
Not in my opinion it's not. I much prefer Rings of Power.
2020. Meh.

Same, in my opinion, RoP was a much better show.

That's exactly what kept me engaged throughout this season, especially with eps 7-9, although I don't mind the fantasy elements when done right. I loved the acting, dialogue, scheming, and its execution has been stellar so far. There is definitely a myriad of factors involved with each person's viewing pleasures and tendencies, and how much someone is willing to endure before calling it quits altogether. I like to keep things simple, so if a show is refusing to vibe with me then at some point it's going to end up in my rearview! I don't care if it's HotD, or the resurrected 9th season of GoT.  Westworld is a good example and my only exception. I watched the first two seasons but the second installment did it for me, so I dropped the series and haven't looked back since. I've heard good things about the 4th season (3rd season not so much lol), but I like to judge for myself. Still up in the air whether or not I want to revisit WW...

Lamprey pie gets mentioned every 5 minutes in the GoT books. Idk how much lamprey is around in your part of Canadia though. And you need plenty of mulled wine to go with it.

Check the food that goes forum, and let me know what you think. Never had lamprey, but the mulled wine is called Wassail in Canadia!

Re: House of the Dragon [Game of Thrones Prequel Series]
meh, I never finished watching this, now resumed - got to ep 6 and I think I will drop it, what a garbage, lol. Half of the cast got into a car crash? Suddenly story line abrupts and some strange lady is in the labor  King still alive, the rest of the cast went from shady to criminal. The knight, who punched to the death that guy, still alive and well, like nothing happened - these are The Mosquito Coast level facepalms. Will watch Barbarians S02 instead.

2x1. Good start, looks like they got a bigger budget for the second season. ▼Spoiler With season one being almost two years in the past, I had to google the relationships to make sense of the bloody 2x1 ending.

Anyone else notice Otto referred to his great-grandson as his grandson? Glad the writers have as much trouble keeping these characters straight as the audience does

Re: House of the Dragon [Game of Thrones Prequel Series]
I found all of Game of Thrones to be a 7/10. As far as fantasy fiction stories go, I think The Wheel of Time is more interesting, but just with half the production value/quality of House of the Dragon, like you can really tell the difference with an HBO production, just wish they'd produce interesting stories like they used to.

This is a show pretending to be Shakespeare with all the dialogue and scant action. Bored by it

When I saw her like that, I thought a hint of mud would probably have helped.

Tv series are like fine wine or food. Taste can be very subjective. What you may like, I may hate. etc etc. I was not impressed with the first few episodes and did not even finish ep2. I do not know if its because my tastes are changing and I am turning into a grumpy old guss. Or if the show is starting to suck.
