House of Dragons on HBO
« on: August 23, 2022, 12:18:40 AM »
We saw the first episode last night and it looks promising enough for us to continue for a few more episodes. This is the prequel to GoT,  set 200 years prior.

I recorded the first episode. Saw part of it last night.

Having REAL problems looking at Matt Smith's character and seeing a sleezy royal family member and not Dr. Who.

Seeing him as Prince Charles in a earlier series of 'The Crown' prepared us for that.

Never watched the Crown so I don't have a transitional break.

Did they drop this all at once, or are they doing an episode a week? I want to watch it, but if the latter, I'll wait a month so I have an episode buffer. I have been spoiled by entire seasons of a show dropping at once.  =)

HBO generally releases an episode or two a week.

That's ok.  Not all of them are straight.
