It is far from being bad. I have yet to see a legitimate gripe on this thread that isn't blind hate from people being sheep.

So far it is for sure better than the first 4 episodes of GoT. It isn't as good as season 4 or 5 but GoT was notorious for saving its best two episodes for 9 and 10.


I mean it's fine.

I wouldn't say it's good, at least not to HBO standards.

If you're looking to compare it to one of those teenage vampire shows on CW network then yeah I guess it's good.

Not that I won't watch still, as of course there is potential and yes GOT did also have some "down" stretches.

e/ and there have been several legitimate gripes in this thread but if you just dismiss them as "blind hate by sheep" then it's clear you've already made up your mind

I've seen people say nothing happened and then people turn around and say it is going to fast.

People are pulling shit out of their asses to blindly hate to try and fit in.

?? sounds more like you're just a fanboi that can't handle criticism.

I was not impressed with the second episode

it's like a watered down GoT with fewer storylines and dumber characters, but they think the spectacle of some dragon bs is going to make people happy. when I put it like that I guess it's exactly like the later seasons of GoT, but without the goodwill built up with good seasons. yikes

Wasn’t a big fan of that episode tbh.

Spoiler:

Crab feeder died way too easily. Bit of an anti climax.

I didn’t care for this episode. Daemon’s little 1-man rush was too over the top for me

Did I miss an episode or something?

Last episode it seemed like the Princess hated the Queen and didn't even want to be around her and now in this episode they are friendly?

And that last conversation between them when the Queen tells her about the rumor it almost seems like she is jealous and wants to be lesbian lovers even though just before this episode it seemed she had taken the attitude of "I'm the Queen now and you ought to respect me"??

:blink:

Is this just gonna primarily be a teenage drama or what lol


Crabfeeder was definitely anti-climatic. The slow build that made him look gruesome/fearsome over the first 2.75 episodes was good, but they threw it away. I don't care that he was a very minor character in the books, they made him more than that in the show.

So far 75% of this show is "I'm not respected because I'm a teenage girl wah wah" which like, if you like this narrative that's fine but I doubt most people are enthralled by it. Not to mention we got a lot of "woman not being respected" with Khaleesi in GOT.

So far it's mostly been a teenage drama, and not exactly the thriller/suspenseful/fantasy drama that a lot of people were expecting.

I definitely don't think its the best show out. It is still a solid 7/10.

People forget that Dany literally had the same attitude early and even later into GoT of being angry at not getting respect because she's a woman....as did Arya....and Sansa......and Brienne.......

Lol at all these people who clearly haven’t read the book and are comparing this to GoT or trying to whine about ‘wokeness’
Is that all anyone from ‘murica does these days? Must suck hating everything. Also lol at whoever thought the idiotic crabfeeder was a relevant character or ‘hyped’ up. If you whiners stick around, you’re in for a surprise with this story. Trying to pretend there is some forced agenda going on says more about you than anything. Read the book. What is happening in the show occurs in the book. Whether you give a fuck is irrelevant, because this show is based on that book you refuse to read.

I mean, far less biased than the manchildren screeching about forced diversity and woke agendas, but you do you. Imagine trying to make everything about ‘the evil sjw’s ruining media’ when this plot is based on a book and the show is being co-produced George. Having genuine criticism is one thing. Most of the complaints in here are the usual conspiracy riddled drivel though. The guy that said 75% of the show is ‘I’m not respected because I’m a teenage girl’ is a hilarious take.

Tl;dr Disingenuous complaints about ‘wokeness’ and shit are not unbiased takes.

I never said it had anything to do with wokeness or sjw or any agenda or anything like that. Sounds like you just have reading comprehension issues.

If you don't think the show has mostly been about a teenage girl having issues with the way she is treated/her lack of rights/etc. then I don't know what to tell you... we're watching two different things I guess.

Like I said, so far from everything we've seen it feels like a show that is more suitable for the CW network.
