Feel like the writers forced alicent and rhanera together just so they could have those actors in the same scene, and it seems pretty crazy that Alicent betrays her son that she put on the throne so she can live a quiet peaceful life as if she isn’t the whole reason everyone is at war in the first place

I’m frustrated. I wish the show runners would STOP bringing up the white walkers! We all know that the white walkers were defeated in LITERAL HOURS and by a 90 pound little girl with a dagger no less, so the writers reminding us of this constantly just HURTS! In season 1 this show was removing the stain of season 8 of GOT but now Condal or HBO is trying to make this show Game of Thrones and I can’t take it! And I can’t watch Rhaenyra anymore either. This isn’t the Rhaenyra from the book. Lord knows why the writers thought a more peaceful, calm, rational Rhaenyra would be more entertaining than the Rhaenyra GRRM crafted. The woman lost her son, lost her throne, lost Rhaenys, lost her father, lost her baby and came within an inch of being ASSASSINATED and that STILL wasn’t enough for her to want blood or to become a bit ruthless. I don’t need her to be the mad king but it doesn’t even seem like a lot of those events happened because she barely reacts to them or she reacts once or twice in an episode, and then it’s dropped. They constantly tease fans with these “mad queen” face expressions she keeps making and pretending that she has become dark, having her glare into the camera or glare at Aemond like sh*t is about to POP OFF, only for us to learn a few scenes later that she actually still wants no bloodshed. Corlys had to CONVINCE her to fight FFS! Like, f*ck me. Rhaenyra actually said that she had just planned on using her newly gained dragons as a deterrence for Aemond. A F*CKING DETTERENCE. END ME ALREADY. Many characters just aren’t allowed to change this season. For instance, by the end of the season, I had FORGOTTEN that Jahaerys was murdered! The green characters just act like that never even happened after the second episode or so. I’m just not feeling the impact of that death. Moreover, 15-20% of the episode was focused on Tyland and a girl boss androgynous pirate who no one gives two sh*ts about! The pirate seemed cartoonish to me. But maybe that’s because they chose to put it in the FINALE of all places! It would’ve been better to spread that out through the season and I would’ve been fine with the pirate. But since it was in the finale, I was looking at my watch during those scenes thinking “WE DONT HAVE TIME FOR THIS! Why am I watching Tyland wrestle in a mud pit with some pirate when there is so much more important sh*t to cover?!” And I don’t care about Rhaena either. She makes the same damn pikachu face all season and we’ve ALREADY seen the storyline of a Targaryen child being belittled because they don’t have a dragon and then gaining a dragon, and that child’s name was AEMOND! Why would I want to see that similar storyline again with Rhaena? Just claim a dragon or don’t! They’ve dedicated like 5 scenes to this! I don’t care anymore. I hope Sheepstealer EATS her. At least that would add a little more excitement and shock to the show. Who TF thought a made up Rhaena plot would be more entertaining than seeing Nettles? Ryan Condal is starting to remind me of D&D where he writes to spite the fans or the subvert expectations to be a creative genius, and not to please or give the fans the most faithful adaption as possible. He is coming off as little big-headed. We wanted Fire & Blood, not a Ryan Condal original story using Fire & Blood characters! Some liberties taken with the story are fine but he went too far in season 2. The hubris of this man or of HBO… especially given what happened in Game of Thrones. I see no lessons were learned there, huh? I cautioned fans all season to wait for the finale before passing judgement and now I have egg on my face. Ryan Condal, make this right! I’m starting to miss Miguel Sapochnik…Give that man a bag of money, meet his other demands and BRING HIM BACK. I haven’t given up on the show yet but they better fix this sh*t in season 3.

Roddy, Daeron, and Otto had no dialogue. Up until that I loved it. Make the Wolves crossing longer, make Sharp Point longer. End it on Daemon and Rhaenyra.

Season 2 and the finale was extremely boring... I understand they are stretching the short story into 4 seasons... but writes could hv picked exciting timelines instead of this waste of a budget characters and screenplay

I thought it was boring. They should have come stronger for the finale.

I'm disappointed by the episode 8 teaser, we only saw Daeron & Tessarion few seconds, same for Rhaena & Sheepstealer, and I thought we would see at least one battle. But I'm excited for season 3, a lot of great battles and events are coming ! I recently read Fire&Blood, I was initially surprised that there were many differences from the book.. But in the end I find it interesting, especially the final vision of Daemon or the arrival of Alicent at Dragonstone. I'm looking forward to seeing how things develop, and if any major things will be different from the book!

It was bad. It felt like there is suppose to be one more. It's like they are in the same spot they were in at the end of season 1..

Terrible. Terrible season as whole really, we had to wait 2 years and they cut the season length from 10 to 8. Reeks of late season Thrones. HBO learned nothing

Entire season was pile of dogshit. Worse than season 7 which was though stupid but entertaining at least. This couldn't even be the latter. This shows fancy English isn't equal to good writing 7 out of 8 hours were filler. Character staring blankly doing nothing. Esp alicent rhae and daemon.

It was poorly paced and not engaging. The writers had too many plot holes and important characters were missing to the point the overall story felt empty and one-dimensional. I mostly blame this on them throwing too much information at once and not even bothering to explain its importance. For example, Daeron; the conflict in Oldtown; the conflict in the Step Stones; the Greyjoys; even Rhaenyra's council; etc.

Wasn't impressed how they butchered the remaining story. Don't know if I'm going to continue watching.
