'House of the Dragon' Creator Defends Controversial Finale, Show Will End With Season 4 | THR News

They failed to create anticipation; instead, they fostered boredom, leading to profound disappointment. This feeling is exacerbated by the two-year wait. It's akin to expecting a gourmet meal at a high-end restaurant but receiving instant noodles instead.

An Alicent-Rhaenyra girl power medieval soap opera is a lot cheaper to make than a grand scale dragon war epic. You can kind of just apply that from the top down when asking questions about this show and the “interesting” direction they’ve taken.

Filler season to appease David Zaslav money laundering scam. Characters repeating the loop over and over and the same dialog over and over "wHaT wOuLd YoU hAvE mE dO!" Daemon's scooby doo ark should have been 2 eps, he is right back to where he was at the end of season 1. Took 8 eps for the boat to get fixed. Boat bros have the same conversation 4 times.

I don’t understand how he thinks it’s okay to give us anticipation when they only gave us 8 episodes. he knows he was wrong for that.

[josephnjuguna]

House of Dragging on..what a terrible anticlimactic finale

[OldManGibb]

All these 8 episode seasons are crap, Bring back the 22 episode seasons, and scrap all the filler junk episodes.

[deyjohnson]

I’m not anticipating anything. Like not even a little. I was actually upset that I stayed up to watch it

[morenoh]

They don’t want a repeat of rushing GOT ending. Hahaha

[rustzz]

That was a horrible season ending. I'm just about done with this show it hypes up then never gets there only letting me down.

[tobeornottobe]

Millicent was assassinated, Mysaria is awful and played by a terrible actress, Rhaena replacing Nettles is borderline insulting to book readers, and connecting the show to GoT makes one wonder if these creators even understand the reputation that the show ended with. Why would you want to add prophecies and dream-seers to an era of Targaryen history where they weren't present or even needed to make the story any more interesting than it already was?

[Machete_soprano]

This last episode was just a bunch of nothing, Im not even sure if I wanna watch the new season

[marcbymarckim]

Yeah...this didn't need to go to 4 seasons...

[MistyAir]

There were some great episodes this season. Wish there were 10 episodes and a shocking cliffhanger, but I'm sure it's building up for 2 seasons of nothing but war. I'm happy we're getting more from this universe.

[rickmartinez]

Season 2 was dogshit the worst season of game of thrones ever .🤢

[Owen-ubfv]

You none book readers are going to be in for a shock when you find out what happens to Rhaeynera in Season 3 or 4.

[mashar]

House of Character Assassination and idiotic plot changes. Fire the guy, HBO.

[Ohana]

why was the ending controversial?? great season overall, sad that it's gonna end so soon!

[princegj]

It was a great season. People will never be happy.

[alphagerudo]

"A win with battle of the gullet" so... like rooks rest.. just 1 dance of the dragons moment S2. Wow 👌 keep blaming budgets Sara/Ryan. Treated this like a Sundance film festival project
