The Rogue Prince (S01E02)

Average intrigue and machinations, typical GoT atmosphere and only one really gripping scene, the one with the dragons on Dragonstone. A bit short for one of only 10 episodes, but I want to believe it won't slow down and stagnate unnecessarily after the fresh looking one. (18.03.2023)

I don't think a quality episode of a fantasy series needs to be full of action, rivers of blood, and freely flying human body parts if the creators are able to put together dialogue on the level of Varys and Tyrion's conversations from GoT. Ryan J. Condal can't do that, though. So, the viewer is subjected to a lot of boring and somewhat unnecessary babble, which after half an hour of comparing who has a bigger one, really annoyed me. To top it all off, the dragons here only function as what the British called a "fleet in being." Nowadays, nuclear weapons are used in this way. However, compared to a nuclear arsenal, a dragon has the advantage that you can use its abilities for camping or cremation. What a pathetic episode. / Lesson learned: And the pedophiles howled in disappointment... (12.06.2023)
