Whole season was a buffet of cliffhangers.


Think it’s funny how all the GOT fans thought that was Daenerys in Daemon’s vision. Show watchers saying she’s the Prince that was Promised is hilarious.

Daemon had a vision, saw the white walkers, and a random girl with white hair. Right after that, he goes and declares Rhaenyra his queen. I’m pretty sure he thought he saw Rhaenyra in that vision, not Daenerys like most think. Would explain why he said “darkness is coming” he thinks it’s coming sooner, not later.

She had 3 baby dragons. That was Dany.

He declared Rhaenyra his queen because he saw her sitting on the throne.

I would say the first season was on par with early GOT. This season was mostly mid-late GOT, quality wise. Which doesn't bode well for the next season but there should at least be more action.

I would take season 8 of GOT over this dreck every day and twice on Sundays!

I didn't have high expectations for the finale, based on how terrible the whole season was, but even it managed to "limbo" it's way beneath the low bar it had already set!

I think you may be forgetting exactly how bad s8 was lol

I think the first real taste of season 8 level was probably the finale.

Likely because HBO forced them to use 8 episodes instead of 10 like originally planned. Any war drama is being pushed to season 3

I swear I remember we were promised a ton of action in Season 2. Either I'm making that up, or we were duped.

I apply the same philosophy to TV shows that I do to movies. Movies and TV shows can be bad. I've liked plenty of "bad" movies and shows. However, what they absolutely CANNOT be is boring! Season 8 of GOT was really bad, but it wasn't boring! HOtD season 2 was mind-numbingly boring! That is way worse!

I can't believe how boring this show is. People were saying it early in the season. I thought that was hasty. I'm fine with slow-burn build-up, but this ain't it. I'm not even sure I like a single character. I think I only like Daemon because I like Matt Smith, but wtf do I actually like about Daemon himself? Not his storyline this season, that's for sure. 6 episodes of him losing his mind...

These characters collectively suck. Each on their own is fine, but I just don't have anybody to root for. You could kill any of them, and I wouldn't care.

My wife dropped off after 2.7 and I'm at the point where I don't even care if this show comes back.

Slow burn is fine if there is a payoff that makes it worth the wait.

Even the slow burn of shows like GoT or Deadwood there were interesting characters, people that you begin to fall in love or hate with. It was entertaining.
