well blood and cheese might have been written filmed acted and directed badly enough to warrant calling in a wellness check for Ryan Condal, who has clearly experienced a TBI, but at least Alicent got to cum exactly twice in her miserable fucking life so really it’s 50/50

Otto :

House of the Dragon is an enjoyable show, but I think that to really appreciate it you have to have read the books, and I say this as someone who hasn't. The problem is that the first season went way too fast and it didn't develop some characters properly, and even this one just keeps introducing new stuff without giving the viewers time to adjust. I see book readers say how excited they are to see a new character, but I just can't share their feeling because we'll probably see said character for two episode before it's killed off. And this is a big problem in my opinion, because many things that should be heavy with feelings for the characters just fall flat. (ex. blood and cheese)

Where are the slow beginnings? Where are my filler episodes? GIVE. ME. TIME. TO. GET. TO. KNOW. THE. CHARACTERS.

one of the hundred things I love about Andor is that in the end, all the villains were destroyed not in an epic showdown with the rebels or whoever but by the machine that they worked for. syril was a faceless casualty of the genocide he helped create. dedra was done in for putting ambition over conformity to the machine, and she took down partagaz, who essentially created her, along with her. even heert was quite literally killed by his own droid and his own men. all of them were crushed by the wheel they dedicated their lives to keep turning. it's just so deeply deeply satisfying.
