House of the Dragon renewed for season 3 at HBO

House of the Dragon has been renewed for Season 3

What was in the comment, before the comment, before my comment?

Renewed for a third series.

terrible security in the castle

Decent first episode, moved along at a good clip without being rushed.

more than likely yea, I was just being a bit tongue in cheek.

It must be said, Olivia Cooke looks stunning as Alicent

Remind me who the girl prisoner is and her involvement?

Edit: Found it https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/Mysaria

A war about to breakout and people can just waltz into both castles not a bother(granted they thought it was his brother to be fair)

Otherwise very good 2 opening episodes.

At the very least I can understand what she's saying this season. Her affected accent and pronunciation last year was awful. Thankfully she's toned it down a bit.

I can't help but think they should just swap. They're the two most powerful families on the continent. Just do a time share on the throne. When heir A dies, then it goes to heir A from the other family. And so on. Die old and fat and rich.

I guess the problem with dragons is characters can zip around the world. Episode 3 was slightly less intereting then the previous two. I'd say like GoT the show will struggle in avoiding showing any battles.

She asked for the head of the adult who killed her son not a baby's head.

I was thinking that. Same as we did here with the O'Neills.

Another very good episode. Sorry to see the back of Rhaenys and her dragon Meleys. Her chickens came to roost but was a really strong character for the Blacks and the actress was good.

There was good payoff too in the Aegon & Aemond tension that’s been brewing.

I have watched the trailer for the next episode and (I can’t seem to add spoiler tags) it seems stupid that Aegon survived what looked like fire from Vhagar and a huge fall, even if his dragon Sunfyre possibly would have taken the brunt of it.

That was seriously one hell of an episode. Absolutely dying for the next one in a way I haven't been since the mid seasons of Game of Thrones. Huge ramifications on both sides to be dealt with.

And will Daemon ever leave the haunted castle…..that plot seems comically stretched to keep Daemon out of what's unfolding elsewhere.

Also found it strange that Alicent specifically mentioned that Viserys only died a few weeks prior. I absolutely did not get the sense that it was a matter of simple weeks, given all that's happened…… felt more like a year or so at a minimum.

I always think Viserys died ages back in the first series but what was left of him somehow managed to keep going til the end.

It's all been moving very fast since then and it would be interesting to know what "weeks" actually means.

Was a great episode and the anticipation for next week is a pain and a joy. It would take something away if you could just bing the next episode.

That look the dragon gives at the end is the saddest thing since Aegon broke Viserys Lego set a few weeks back.

(I had similar reaction)

Dozens of faceless men being slaughtered, no reaction… oh no, dragon sad eyes :(

I assume that's the usual perils of dealing with actors of a certain age. A few weeks still feels like a bit of a stretch though.

Would be good to have an accurate timeline.

Fantastic episode last night it was like being back in peak game of thrones. It might not have the nuance of the very best of GOT but I really love house of the dragon and I definitely didn't come into it thinking I would.

I deliberately didn't watch the first season when it came out as I was so burnt from the ending of GOT.

As much of a muppet as Cole usually is he has been a pretty impressive general.

He is feked now though cause no one will believe that the king wasn't part of the plan and he also knows what Aomond was up to which is dangerous.
