Why The HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Season 2 Finale DIDN'T Work...

I review, breakdown and explain House Of The Dragon Season 2 finale. I react to why episode 8 is one of the shows lowest rated episodes and why it felt different to Season 1. I discuss the comparison to the book, the Game of Thrones TV show, and answer why it was disappointing. I also give my theories and predictions on how it will impact season 3.

What did you think of the House Of The Dragon Season 2 finale? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

[ptitecame]

Alicent selling her children to her enemies so she can peace out with Haelena was atrocious writing.

[vincentvega]

Miguel Sapochnik's absence was felt quite a bit this season, his departure clearly hurt the show, I'm surprised how little people talk about it.

[gals.]

Its annoying that in just a couple of episodes Alicent went from standing infront of a dragon to protect her sons, to betraying them and planning to kill them 😂

[annabellebanna]

I honestly hate the whole prophecy plot line on so many levels. And how Helaena said that her life doesn't matter. Everybody forgot about Blood and Cheese. WTF, why should I care if the characters themselves don't care whether they live or die?

[kevz]

I remember sitting there looking at the TV when it ended like...."its over!?"...That's it!?!?

[hmm_]

battle of the gullet and rhaenyra's descent into messiah complex should've been sprinkled since the beginning. Jace's North and Vale arc should've been included so that he's not standing in the back mewing. Remove the dang prophecy because now it throws away Daemon's entire development over feeling remorse for his actions. And Alicent...my god...willing to sell out her children and put her brother, father and Daeron in danger, seems like she forgot Jaehaerys died with his head lopped off.

[TheNovaimmortal]

I guarantee no one will remember this season in 2 years because of how boring it was. It may affect season 3s performance, because who would want to sit through another season where nothing happens.

[hayleys-wq]

It's doing some of the same things GoT was doing when it went off the rails. Characters doing things completely out of character, and things happening that make no sense. Helena went from mumbling cryptic things into the void to clear, bold communication of a definite future. What? Alicent went from throwing herself in front of a dragon to protect Aegon to giving Rhaenyra permission to kill him. Seriously? The daughter of Prince Daemon, granddaughter of Princess Rhaenys and the Sea Snake is wandering the countryside alone and no one even noticed let alone went after her? Smh. Not good. Not excited for season 3.

[bryandorrell]

2 years? People already forgot about season 2 and its only been two days. They screwed up

[Oxcymoron]

I watched this episode the exact same way Jace watched Ulf at the Dragon seed dinner because this finale feels like an insult honestly. I mean alicent even offered Rhaenyra Kings Landing on a silver platter, without bloodshed, and they couldn't even give us that. She spent the entire season hesitant, not wanting to spill any blood and she got exactly that, SOMEHOW, and they couldn't even let us see her restraint actually paying off! Man after episode 4 it has been a straight drop 😪

[Problematicphilosophie]

This show has officially established the same pacing and style as TV soap opera. It takes the cast an entire season to take a walk across the room and sit in a chair (figuratively speaking)

[jesuismila]

4:49 GOD!!! YES!!!! The world is so tiny this season that it feels like a theater production.

[KP-zdhc]

I wished Miguel S stayed as showrunner… the show lost its subtlety when he left.

[winniejoshi]

House of the dragon S2 🤦‍♀️

Rhaenyra - let's not go for this war
Alicent - 😛

Alicent - let's not go for this war
Rhenera - 😛

[WreakHvok]

I think they literally cut out the last 2 episodes and didn’t even adjust to make the season satisfying…

[Kawada-rkhf]

The frustration comes a lot from the fact that it looked very promising, especially after the excellent first season. I was sure we were going to see something historic in the vein of GOT's best seasons. But now we're just talking about HBO's limited budget, and it's getting very frustrating. Why launch the project if they can't afford it? The first season and S2 ep4 show us all the potential, only to tell us ah! no, we're going in another direction after all. So frustrating!!!

[evansonhakeem]

I was tweaking with the amount of times they cut away from Rhaena. GIVE THE GIRL THE DRAGON ALREADY

[TheChromePoet]

I still cant believe they prioritized showing us Lord Tyland fight a woman in mud, and Criston Cole's long speech to Gwayne Hightower over giving us a dragon fight for the FINALE!. They really thought that was more important? We're all doomed for season 3.

[brooklynbarbieedoll]

I’m shocked that someone has the EXACT same opinion as I do. This are the same points I brought up to my friends and family. The entire season wasn’t bad by any means but it felt short. 8 episodes IS okay if they do the pacing right. And somewhere along the way the pacing fell off.
