How well do you think "House of the Dragon" is going to do?

[jacobdarling]

It honestly looks like they just kept the best people from the production team on GoT and just put them in charge. Definitely a good sign.

[wrain]

GoT was one of the best shows i've ever seen, but season 8 is the reason i haven't rewatched or thought about it since.

[brackabrack]

saying this guy directed "The Long Night" episode is not the ringing endorsement you seem to think it

[adrianvanleeuwen]

House of Dragons can certainly do much better in its final episodes (whenever that comes to pass) than how badly Game of Thrones botched its final season. I think the writers and producers may have learned their lesson from fan reaction but time will tell. Hopefully the entire series will be exciting and great character building. Characters than fans liked not just spectacle is what made Game of Thrones exciting.

I’m really excited for this series. Can’t wait to see it.

[MotherCrackerxx]

I got excited when he said that Sapochnik, who is one of the co-creators and director for HOTD, was the one who directed "The Battle of the Bastards"... Then I heard him say he also directed "The Long Night".

[orashfordfranklin]

How dare you compare Daemon Targaryen the rogue prince to freaking Viserys 😕

[Teffy]

Season 8 was such a blur and rushed for reasons we don’t know, but people saying they hate the series over one season is kinda crazy. They went 7/8 not bad!

I think they learned their lesson and will be very patient and more detailed oriented in the final season this time.

I’m excited to see game of thrones on Sunday, it’s been a few years can’t wait to dive into this new series!

D&D: We weren’t pissed at the season because we’re TOXIC. We felt the season was rushed and character arcs that were set up for loooong were butchered. You rushed GoT to go make Star Wars shit.

Ya I am one of those who just could not believe the end of Games of Thrones. So many hours watching to see that ending was brutally disappointing.

[Glenn]

Having just watched the first episode of HOTD I can tell you this is going to be f**king EPIC huge budget on this and fans are going to love this.

[augustusg]

R.R. approving and having an involvement in this tv is s good sign.

[elegantbird]

A good spinoff would be;
The Doom - The Last Days of Valyria

[SoulOfRaife]

I personally say that Game of Thrones ended in season 6. We have yet to see an actual season 7 and season 8. Maybe someday we will be able to see season 7 and season 8. Much like how there has been 6 Fantastic Four films.. yet we have never had a Fantastic Four film because what we had so far was horrible.
I am however happy and cant wait to watch House of the Dragon. Hopefully it will be awesome.

[leontubrok]

Could the red witch Melisandre turn up as she was so old in GoT?

[pimisi]

We don’t need to see the old characters. We’ll come to love the new ones, who would then become our new favorite characters.

[viewmann]

I’m a little sad we may not get to see Balerion, (hoping we get to see him in a flashback) but if we get to see a lot of the other dragons that’s fine with me. Saw the first ep and it’s already off to a great start

[varunsen]

Saw the first episode today, it was so so beautiful. Terrific, amazing. This show has potential to be even better than game of thrones.

[mikelachey]

I was committed to this series the second I saw that Matt Smith was in a lead role.
