The Season was great until Aegon fell off of his dragon, then the pacing slowed down too much and it became kind of meh

[Jay-omgr]

Biggest problem is that the source material is not long enough to stretch out for several seasons. Should have been a movie trilogy

[JaketheJust]

It’s not the dragon people watched the Song of Fire and Ice series. It’s the characters that they bring to the show. The best characters in HoTD were Daemon and Viserys, the rogue prince and the tragic king.

HBO ruined a great book with woke crap.

[jrtg]

i stopped watching this show when Rhaenyra grew up into Emma D'arcy

[havok]

At this point of the book, Rhaenyra is MIA. She's mourning Luke and recovering from her stillbirth. So the show had to find things for her to do.

[Wrath-Of-Storms]

This season was a hot pile of garbage.

[finikama]

Fun fact, it isn't the Hightowers vs the Targaryens but the one half of the Targaryens vs the other half. It's a civil war. Aegon and his siblings are full blooded Targaryens, not Hightowers.

[bospring]

overhated. Yeah the finale felt more like a preseason finale, but that doesn’t mean the story isn’t good. The build up was amazing

[MrGforce]

Another issue is that the paint the blacs as the good guys when the greens are objectively the good guys. Not perfect, but by far the better of the 2.

[nimrodsangero]

Although the critic of the season being too slow and leading nowhere, ending pretty much where the last season ended, is a valid one, I think saying that "nothing happened" is way too harsh.

Daemon's stoyline was almost completely pointless, it is true, but the interactions between team green were so dramatic, complex and human - you simply can't look away!

And if you truly believe that the 20 minutes battle was the best thing by far - and not for example Alicent trying to reach out to Aemond/ Otto realizing the mistakes he had made, and what he lost but never truly appreciated in Viserys, who ruled with wisdom/ Rhaenyra making Alicent face an impossible choice, and to realize she was also responsible for it - if that was "nothing" then I'm sorry to say Ben, but I don't think you were ever the fan Martin had in mind. I think seasons 7 and 8 of GoT might be more to your liking. Bookreaders know what I mean.

[thomasseptimius]

I called the first season "House of the Midwifes" and this season "House of Bridgeton" it's a show made for women.

[NoOneAtAll-bzzb]

They really are twisting the teat for every last penny at the expense of the story. The book HOTD is based on is literally just that, one book, that they are purposefully dragging out; kind of like how the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park had the gaps in thier DNA filled with that of a frog, the writers of HOTD are filling in the gaps of what should have been a 10 episode single Season one-shot spin off with thier incompetence and lack of talent. In the OG series GOT, they had Martin's Magnum Opus to draw back upon at an average of 1 book per season. Where they completely screwed up is after Season 1 (which was literally word for word, scene for scene the book, simply adapted on screen) once they started changing the story from the books they exponentially screwed up until we got the dumpster fire that was season 8. George R.R. Martin is a genius, the series writers are not and it shows... all they had to do was type up the novels into script form.

[adamkondracki]

And they really expect us to be excited for the season 3, 2 years from now??
😂😂😂 yea i just don't see that happening

[jamesthomas]

Watching Ben Shapiro talk about HOTD is infinitely better then watching the actual show.

[neppallv]

While we're on the topic of Dunk and Egg, I feel like this entire prequel would be better adapted into a Witcher 3-style game instead of a TV show.

[nimrodsangero]

SIGH...
BOTH Alicent AND Rhaenyra aren't villains or heroes, Ben. Martin is always making the point that he is trying to represent the human heart's struggle with itself. To show the good and the bad in people, and the resulting chaos of their character. Both these women did some very objectionable things to each other, and yet neither of them is beyond redemption.

Why are you treating this adult story like a Marvel plot? Is this truly the highest level of interaction with stories that the all-intelligent Ben Shapiro is capable of??

[rossharvey]

The Fire and Blood book is fantastic. Their problem is the fact that they are trying to turn like 200-300 pages of content from the middle of that book into a multiple season show.

[christianbaker]

Why people are still giving anything grrm touches a chance is beyond me.

[Bherm]

The reason the finale was lackluster was cuz it was meant to be a 10 episode season and they cut the last 2 episodes which were gonna be the battle of the gullet and the sack of kings landing. So they basically had to turn a buildup episode into the finale which blew.
