House of Dragon
Matt
We’re watching the first episode tonight entirely because the buzz is so positive
Matt
I’m cautiously optimistic that they’re not going to fumble this one and focus on quality
They shot a high budget pilot for another GoT spinoff and didn’t go to order since they didn’t consider it good enough
Matt
We caught up with HotD over the weekend and HELL YES
I’m ready to be hurt again
Justin
Haha
same
I’m stoked about the new eposode
i was also excited about the new LOTR
but that has waned a little bit now that I’ve seen the first couple of episodes
although I’ll still watch them all
Justin
Man, I’m not sure who I am rooting for in this
the dragons I guess
Matt
Yeah I'm starting to wonder if this show doesn't want you to root for anyone, kinda like Succession
Justin
damn, yeah I’ve never thought about that on succession
Matt
Makes sense considering we already know nobody ends up winning
Justin
I like the youngest son of the king
he’s my guy
Matt
I mean now that I think about it how much you bet the pitch was "Medieval Succession"
in the GoT universe
Justin
Yeah
that’s pretty much it
The oldest blonde son is one step from eating his own cum
And the seafaring family is pretty much a corrupt cruise ship company
Matt
lmao the season ain't over yet
If Ramsay can chop another guys dick off, that son can certainly eat his own cum
Its,,, allowed
Justin
truth
I mean the uncle is fucking his niece
not much off limits at this point
sir cristin turned out to be a real fucking tool
Chris Piro
lol omg
Matt
Honestly the most surprising moment of the season for me was Daemon's wife scene
The cold open
Justin
Oh, I thought you meant the more recent one
where he seemed to actually care for her
but yeah, that one was a shocker too
Matt
Nah the one he hated, they allude to her being some kind of old hag and then she rolls into the scene as a good-looking badass
Justin
daemon is probably the most interesting character
Matt
Yeah that was a good Daemon scene too, like he just shows up wearing a goofy cloak and you have no idea what he's going to do
And how it all plays out is somewhat ambiguous, like sure he probably went there with bad intentions but had more of a "well this is a freebie" vibe
He even started walking away before she goaded him!
