Season 2 Of House Of The Dragon is going to feel very different. Why? (youtu.be)

One of my biggest complaints about season one was the constant jumping between time periods. I understand the necessity, given the story that they are trying to tell, but I think it took an awful lot of people out of the show, and made it even harder to bond with those adult characters that are going to be carrying the show going forward.

Season two should feel a lot more.....stable by comparison.

was interested in watching the 3 body problem. but then I realised it was a DandD project.

no thanks.

To be fair to DandD, they've proven themselves to be pretty fantastic at adapting source material. They're not fantastic when it comes to making new material, but adaptation? Pretty great.

fair. I just find it so hard to forgive and forget

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

That's actually a good point. When they ran out of source material is when it went to shit.

I actually thought it was pretty good. You should give it a chance.
