The 'House of the Dragon' finale featured dragon-on-dragon chase scenes, births and deaths, but there are already questions that need to be answered in Season 2.
What the finale didn’t have, though, was catharsis. In its final shot of Queen Rhaenyra’s sneering facial expression, the show appeared to answer the question of whether war will erupt for the Iron Throne. But that war has been punted to Season 2, which isn’t expected to land until“Dragon” fans who might have been expecting an epic battle — perhaps another go at the always-contested Stepstones, or an ill-timed, premature siege of Dragonstone or King’s Landing — didn’t get their bloodlust sated.
With Martin directly involved, “House of the Dragon” appears to be hewing very closely to elements of “Fire & Blood” — a source known for its— while fleshing out its characters’ ambitions and struggles with more emotion and nuance. As a TV show of the moment, “Dragon” can, for instance, include brutally depicted birth scenes that are clearly meant as commentary on the country’s reproductive rights battlefront while foregrounding its female protagonists.
Anyone curious about how these power plays will conclude or who will die first on the TV screen can read the book or study the. But for those of us who enjoy watching the dragon drama unfold in real time, without such spoilers, there’s still a lot to be excited about. What began as turgid and claustrophobic, with jarring time jumps, found itself by midseason, and soared like a majestic, well, dragon, toward the finale with sharper plot turns, solid acting and increased stakes.
