I just renewed Nebula 2 days ago because I needed to hear this and then you put it on YT for free. So now I’m going to have to listen to the fake John snow for a 4th time to justify my subscription. Praying to the old gods and the new that more Nebula releases will be forthcoming. It’s my birthday 27 November and a Glidus Blisstake Season 2 is top of my wishlist. Pretty please. Thank you muchly. Edit: no pressure, I know it’s a lofty wish. Thank you for all your videos. They’re extremely entertaining.

I think a big mistake the writers are making is thinking that Rhaenyra and Alycent talking to each other is what most people want to see and therefore they shoehorn situations for them to talk, when in actuality this should be the reason for not writing situations in which they meet, make the viewer really long for it, instead of just pushing that button repeatedly until they are annoyed. I also always wished for Starks to meet up, but that was only special, because we didn’t get it often

This is a good point. Alicent's crazy plot to have a climactic conversation with Rhaenyra is undercut by Rhaenyra's earlier crazy plot to have a climactic conversation with Alicent. Future climactic conversations may also be undercut by these.

It honestly shocks me they thought they needed to contrive it the way they did when you could follow the actual book plot and have those scenes organically in S3. But then again the writers think that Rhaenyra and Alicent friendship is the main story so I'm not really confident they would have done that well either.

@lukaslambs5780 6 күн бұрын
It’s SO satisfying being able to 1. Hear you two talk freely about spoilers 2. Not have to worry about spoilers in the comments (but to be safe we still should) I think George’s post was a passionate man desperately lashing out upon releasing that he could see his legacy tarnished even more than it has been. I don’t like how George said what he said, but I think there’s a lot of merit to some of it. Just to pick one example I think Nettles is super important to ASOIAF’s story as a whole. Nettles represents that to be important you don’t need to be born special and you don’t need fancy blood (though it is definitely possible she has Targaryen blood, fire and blood seems to frame it as if she DEFINITELY doesn’t, which could admittedly be in world racism by the maesters). If the intention was to have Nettles be a non Targaryen character use their intelligence, persistence, and courage to tame a dragon, then I think it is probably meant to be a precedent for Tyrion riding a dragon in Winds/Dream. It also adds more complexity to dragon lore because it’s said that they are very intelligent, but accepting a non Valyrian rider I think shows even more discernment and emotional intelligence. Instead of that, we get a weird happy baked Rhaena storyline. Overall I still really enjoyed season 2 but for non nerds like me I understand why they wouldn’t be satisfied with what they got.
@Zveebo
@Zveebo Күн бұрын
I think all that’s totally justified. But his post about dragons still made absolutely no sense given what he has actually written, and did feel very much like a Rowling move. If he was unhappy about losing Nettles, he should just have said that, and explained why, rather than making up some new lore out of head and then condemning HotD for not having followed it.

Another theory I’ve seen is that IF they do show Alicent’s death in the very end, they’ll change the words she says in her deathbed to mention reading with Rhaenyra instead of Jahaerys because that’s what they did as kids and they never said that show Alicent read for Jahaerys
@selina2052
@selina2052 6 күн бұрын
Makes a lot of sense, I don’t even think show Alicent was old enough to read when Jahaerys died, meanwhile we’ve literally SEEN Alicent & Rhaenyra reading together, and that page about Nymeria from that book has literally been used to symbolize the friendship trust and love they once had for one another. Good change imo

@ yess exactly!! It’d also be a beautiful conclusion to the story, sort of a full circle moment with the last ‘main character’ dying and all. Sure, timeline wise Alicent dies quite a bit later in the book but tbh I don’t think it matters enough to not move it forward since her death had no effect in the books at that timing anyway

I disagree, he seems to openly disrespect Rhaenyra from the start which begs the question why on earth he suported her in the first place and why she even had him on the council in the first place as he is not even an important lord. The characters don't seem to respect each other from the beggining. They should have made the rift between them more gradual and should have had him initially showing respect and deference to Rhaenyra and then growing desilusioned with her. They make the future betrayal too obvious and cartoonish. When Daemon and all the soldiers cheer and declare their allegiance to Rhaenyra instead of playing along and doing the same, he walks away in embarassement, it's as if the show wants to make him a punching bag for the audience.

13:46 George’s firm head-canon makes it seem like he wrote Fire & Blood as an unambiguous account of the history, then basically ran a nonsense-comb over it to obfuscate the facts and make it more “intriguing”. So in his mind he has the actual history and he assumes everyone is working off that, not realizing that when you add 2 alternate facts to every line in the book it turns the entire thing into a choose-your-own-adventure novel instead of a history book..

Sorry but Glidus' arguement doesn't make sense and the writers went out of their way to make Helaena not give a crap about Jaehaerys' death since she got over it after one episode.

also i just wanted to say i definitely agree about the white washing of every female character.. having read F&B, i was looking forward to seeing "Cersei"-esque characters portrayed, villainous, narcississtic, self-serving, self-sabotaging... but instead we just get hand-wringing and whinging and as a woman jfc it's so disappointing.... there is no complexity, they just become one dimensional and it's very boring...

God I really REALLY hope Alicent doesn't poison Aegon it would be so illogical and bad thematically. It's already really annoying that this show seems to place no responsibility for this war onto Alicent, the fact that Aegon is as bad as he is and the fact that he is even king IS because of Alicent. She created him this way, she forced him onto the throne, she instilled in him his whole life a fear of Rhaenyra. But somehow Alicent is the one who is righteous and needs to reject the evil Aegon. Its such a twisted message that Aegon is indoctronated his whole life for something he never wanted and is then killed and betrayed for it. Aegon deserves death for many reasons, but for it to come from the person who made him that way in the first place would be so weird.

Alicent is a culprit here, but what about Viserys? He neglected Aegon as well, and Otto was instrumental in putting Aegon on the throne and was way more hostile towards Rhahenyra. Alicent is awful and I agree that thematically her poisoning her son just doesnt work for me. I guess it would be okay if poisoning her son was made public and she would be remembered as an evil Queen. Because yeah, Alicent's begginins are tragic, but in season 2 its hard to root for her. Even Larys cares for Aegon more

Season 2's biggest crime is being fucking boring imo. Loved how every conversation in season 1 was so engaging, regardless of who was in it. Seemed like every scene in 2 was just written by someone far less intelligent who didn't understand how to write a good story. Also thought the quality of the actors' performances (which were amazing in season 1) were noticeably worse in season 2, probably also because of the direction rather than the actors themselves.

In my mind what they’re doing with Rhaena is that maybe Rhaenyra will blame Rhaena for the death/capture of viserys and she’ll want her dead and Daemon will protect her as he protects Nettles in the books. That is what would make Daemon realise how Rhaenyra is changing so he becomes resigned to dying in a face-off with Aemond, fulfilling these visions while still exercising a level of free will, also having kinda protected Rhaena, rounding out Laena asking him in the vision if he’s been looking after their daughters. Just an idea.

If they stick to four seasons as announced, my god is the pace about to pick up. The others only know what the budget for seasons 3 and 4 will have to look like. Because I can pretty easily think of FOURTEEN big things that can each be the centerpoint of an episode just fine (of a total of 16-20 episodes), them in chronological order being, Gullet (d), Honeywine (d), fall of KL (d), Lannister battles at Red fork and fishfeed, butcher's ball, ironborn attacks, 1st Tumbleton (d), taking of dragonstone (d), God's eye (d), KL uprising and dragonpit storming (d), 2nd Tumbleton (d), death of Rhaenyra (d), re-taking of KL, Muddy mess, death of Aegon, hour of the wolf. ((d) means there's a dragon on-screen during that event) With the Aegon III/Jaehera wedding being the final 10 minutes to end the show on. Now for those counting that's 16, but they can have both Honeywine and the ironborn attacks happen offscreen which imo would be fine. But even so, that's 14 "big things" that are kind of critical to the story, with 5 big dragonbattles (Gullet, 1st Tumbleton, God's eye, dragonpit, 2nd Tumbleton), 1 small one (dragonstone) and 2 other moments where dragons at least have to be rendered (fall of KL and death of Rhaenyra) even if they don't really do anything expensive, as well as 4 conventional but major army battles (Red Fork, fishfeed, Butcher's ball, Muddy mess). Only Aegon's death and the hour of the wolf are calm and cheap and "easy" by comparison. So yeah, HBO, if you want to tell this story in 2 more seasons and not infuriate the fans, that's now what you're looking at thanks to your penny-clinging, chopping of 2 episodes this season and pushing the Gullet. 6 dragonbattles and 4 army battles over two seasons. Better look for some change in the couch cussions, you're gonna need it.... My best guess/hope is they'll end season 3 with Aegon taking Dragonstone to contrast opening the season with Rhaenyra taking KL in ep. 2 (after the Gullet in ep. 1), as that neatly divides the dragon battles in half while getting 3 of the 4 land battles out of the way, so that season 4 can really focus on the God's eye and 2nd Tumbleton, as those two events are probably the most difficult, most epic and most expensive setpieces to make, and so they really should get the attention they deserve. Here's to hoping that something like this is what they'll do.

I feel like Jace was one character in particular who really got done dirty and I wish we got to see more of him in his diplomat era. Cregan coming in at the end would hit harder if they'd actually shown them becoming friends and the Gullet won't hit the same. I think my #1 complaint about this season is that characters who were actually doing things at this point in the book barely got any screen time for the sake of scenes with Rhaenyra, Daemon, and Alicent where they don't actually do a whole lot. Rhaenyra being hesitant would have felt less annoying and repetitive if it wasn't in EVERY episode. Iirc, the book also seemed to imply that part of her being MIA was bc she was recovering from the stillbirth and grieving, which would've made more sense imo. The sneaky meet-up scenes were also particularly unnecessary not only bc they were stupid but also bc they're literally about to be in the same place!

I don’t entirely love Schwifty’s notion that people are only mad about the changes made to Alicent at the end of the season because it deviates from the book or contradicts their own headcanon - I think even just taking the show on its own, in isolation, some of Alicent’s decisions and motivations seem truly baffling and contradictory to her own earlier characterization. Although this is a problem that goes back to season 1 and the whole switcharoo with the misinterpreted prophecy, in my opinion. But I do get and agree that folks on Twitter are WAY too heated about it, in both directions.

It’s very clearly an example of strawmanning the argument. I didn’t see basically anyone using that as an argument on why they didn’t like what was done with Alicent. He’s been having a lot of bad takes and way too much sympathy and steelmanning for the production of these shows. Instead of critiquing things now he just wants everyone to accept it for what it is because we “got more Westeros” or some shit. He’s clearly fallen off.

I think what we're seeing in Season 2 is something that wasn't able to be completed or refined because of the conditions of the writers' strike, which I consider more than worth it. My preferred scenario would be to allow them to pause production until the strike was resolved, and I don't really know who to blame for that, but I think the showrunners, actors and crew were doing the best they could with a difficult situation and I'm really happy with what they accomplished. I agree that Ep. 2 is maybe the best episode so far in this or even in GOT. I could feel it even as I was watching it for the first time. Perfect.

24:41 on #6, I think we can clearly see that Rhaena wil not die at the Gullet, but instead will take Nettles role. I think the books and especially the show imply that Daemon has some regrets about not being a good father to his children, and Nettles is his attempt to compensate for that by taking someone under his wing. I think Rhaena taking Sheepstealer is a pretty clear class show strategy of combining characters that play a similar role in some aspect, instead making it so that Daemon is making amends for being a bad father and trying to step up, but with a similar conflict as we see between Alyn and Corlys because Rhaena probably will have some frustration that, at least to her, it took her becoming a dragonrider (with a much harder path than Baela) to finally be recognized and treated as a daughter.
@sadieofficialreal
@sadieofficialreal 3 күн бұрын
Plus, with Rhaena having abandoned Aegon and Viserys to claim a dragon (Likely partially motivated by wanting approval from Daemon) it gives an actual reason for Rhaenyra to dislike Rhaena and Daemon's newfound closeness since what it took for Daemon to start to spend time with Rhaena was her abandoning Rhaenyra's children which in Rhaenyra's mind lead to their deaths since everyone assumes Viserys is dead after the Gullet. Rhaenyra will see Daemon spending time with and actually beginning to care about and love Rhaena because of her worst act, an act that makes him see himself in her and this will turn Rhaenyra further against the two of them and motivate Daemon to go off in a huff again to face Aemond at the God's Eye. I feel like that's a lot more of a realistic, dramatic and actually complex motivation than the one we got in the books for Rhaenyra's dislike for Nettles, far more in line with this version of Rhaenyra than just "Woman jealous because husband spend time with other woman, orders that womans death".

I really feel for GRRM. I remember reading (but take it with a grain of salt bc I don’t remember where) that he divulged a number of plot points to D&D about the end of ASoIaF that they messily incorporated into the show-the bells probably being JonCon’s thing vs Dany’s thing, for ex. Speculating here, but I think maybe the overwhelmingly negative response to how those plot points were interpreted for TV must have been disappointing. So he doesn’t want to see that happen again with House of The Dragon. Just my thoughts though! Hope he’s healing.

I think there are things to like about HotD as it is right now with two seasons, but I really don’t see how it can follow the same story as Fire & Blood without a drastic overhaul of everyone’s motivations/actions/circumstances. GRRM has given GoT and HotD a lot of grace before, and I think he respects changes and delineations if they still make for good storytelling, so perhaps what he heard for S3 was not very good storytelling. It IS nonsensical for Heleana to commit suicide for no reason, the tv writers really can’t even come up with a new reason? I think GRRM fears that he’s seeing the same things that caused GoT to slide into dogshit, terrible pacing, stale characters/character development, and wandering plots that go nowhere. GRRM isn’t the first author who dislikes the adaptation of his work, and he won’t be the last, but I’ve never seen an author face such vitriol and speculation because of it. There really is a spectrum between people who think GRRM is making an unnecessary fuss and those who feel vindicated about hating HotD. Sure we can talk about author’s intentions and death of the author, but I think it’s sad that GRRM keeps believing in HBO’s promises when they clearly will never deliver. HBO’s priority is money, not quality.

I mean yes F&B is a conflicting book of accounts but idk about you it’s pretty obvious and easy to pick and choose with much certainty which is more likely to be true or not. I mean it what historians do today we don’t have perfectly unbiased detailed accounts from every event in history we look at the accounts take into account bias, believability, other accounts and source and determine which is more accurate to believe as fact which I feel F&B does especially in some situations in Dance. People and the showrunner/writers have used this unreliable narrator point to ultimately change things that are genuine improbable to be made up and they have done it so much that this story feels actually worse than the worse interpretation of the book events.

I was really excited to see Nettles before season 2 made it clear that she wasn’t included in the show. Not only does she provide, in my opinion, necessary character development for Daemon. Daemon learns a lot about himself in season 2 and it would have been interesting to see him apply that to their “relationship”. She also brings another common born perspective into the narrative, (apart from Ulf and Hugh of course). Mostly I’m just sad that there won’t be a cool fire priestess in the Vale now.
