Rhaenyra’s sex scene
Kept hoping Milly Alcock would show some skin. Sadly no.
shareYou could see a small portion of her breasts but not much else, it was pretty hot though. Oh well, maybe she'll give us the full monty next week.
The brothel scene was quite spicy too.
Next week is her last episode so if she doesn’t, hopefully we’ll see her au naturale in something else soon.
shareI thought she was in 6 episodes. Pity if true, I'm starting to view her as the star of the show, so I'm not sure how I feel about her leaving.
shareI heard they do the ten year time jump in episode 6 but I could be wrong.
shareShe definitely grew on me. I love Daemon the most, but Viserys and Rhaenyra are good too.
shareDaemon is a pretty good bad guy I suppose, I just think the character development for him has been a little slow and slightly uninteresting and perhaps this holds true for all of them.
And the king is getting a little annoying. It's been decent acting on Paddy's part but he's just not that interesting. I think good acting can only get you so far in shows like this. Characters and stories are so important and HOTD is falling a little short in this regards. Things could pick up though, we'll see.
I think that the problem is that House of the Dragon (or whatever the title of the source material is) was an afterthought to A Song of Ice and Fire. In addition, it is to my understanding that it was written as a historical account, so I'd imagine that they don't have GRRM's dialogue to draw from.
shareYeah, I believe that's correct, Phil.
From I've heard about the book, Fire And Blood, is that its not written in novel form, there's no dialogue, it's written from a Maester's point of view. I haven't read it but it sounds more like a reference book rather than a story.
I can only assume Ryan Condal is writing the dialogue but GRRM might be helping in this regards because his name does show up in the writing credits but I don't know for sure who's writing the dialogue.
Here's the link on IMDB to writing credits.... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11198330/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm
