House of the Dragon: Second of His Name (2022)
Season 1, Episode 3
6/10
+30 min of redundancy + an absurd battle
5 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The first 2 episodes were really good, tbh. I enjoyed them very much. The first is an excellent pilot.

Here...this episode starts fine, but then we get into +30 min of boring conversations about the same succession topic, with the difference that this time is way less interesting.

The battle? Let me point out a few things:

  • The enemies approach Daemon 1 at a time. They are hundreds, but they go one at a time. I mean, c´mon!


  • The archers are, until the end, stormtroopers. They only hit him when he is about to be saved by the dragon. So convinient.


  • The dragons burn the archers...yes, but why couldn´t they do that before? Pause the image and you´ll see they were spread and didn´t have a quick path to caves.


  • The ending, is just fast food to establish the importance of a character. Don´t get me wrong here, Daemon is great and could become one of the best characters in the whole George Martin Universe, but he deserved better, something less artifitial.
