The impatience over the build up to this war has divided fans of the HBO show so far.
That sentence is the only context we get about studio fuckery, and this article is largely the actors trying to apologize for the studio fuckery.
So, a standard season of Game of Thrones is 10 episodes. The first 8 episodes build to a fantabulous 9th episode, and then the 10th episode is the epilogue and setup for the next season.
House of the Dragon’s first season is 10 episodes, largely follows this formula, and is fantastic.
Season 2 was supposed to be 10 episodes. However two thing happened, first the writers strike, second the number of episodes was reduced from 10 to 8.
Reducing the number of episodes isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The season feels stretched a bit and you could definitely tell the story for season 2 in 8 episodes. However because of the writers strike, they didn’t retool the season.
So instead what we got was an 8 episode build up. Then nothing. So fans are “impatient” because we got blue balled.
As an aside there are plenty of complaints to be made about the show itself, but overall I think the story is working, but just cutting where they did resulted in lot more damage to the show.
Also while season 2 was an 8 episode with just build up, it also took two years to come out with season 3.
I’m so confused by all these responses. What about the huge fucking battle in episode 4? There were dragons tearing chunks out of each other and hundreds of soldiers getting killed and mutilated. That shit was dope.
Funny I swear I heard all the same about last season.
Y’all have fun with this.
And there was a fuck off huge battle in episode 4. Pivotal characters were maimed and killed changing the whole dynamic for the rest of the season. It was wild. I’m hyped for the next seasons.
And then there were four more episodes of pretty much nothing happening after…
Didn’t they do this the first time, and when no one gave a shit they cancelled the show?
