I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
It’s hard to understate the amount of pure damage the rushed, non-book-based ending of Game of Thrones did to the entire series in season 8. The show has some of the highest scored episodes of television ever, 9.7s-9.9s, ending with…a 4/10, a finale featuring a dead Lannisters, dead, newly evil Daenerys, useless Jon Snow and Bran as King.
House of the Dragon is also able to use dragons in a way that Game of Thrones could not. One issue with that show is that it made Dany eternally overpowered, as nothing could match her three dragons until they started being killed off in rather silly ways . That was…not that best aspect of that show, but instead of House of the Dragon, the dragons themselves are also characters, and their victories and deaths have been thrilling and tragic.
But House of the Dragon is working on every level now, and I hope future projects do in fact emulate its success. It’s nice to have Thrones to talk about on Sunday nights and Monday mornings again.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
