Game of Thrones & GOT Spinoffs

I don’t get why everyone rides so hard for Rea when it’s her habitual hoe-habits that keeps half that drama going. Alicent is just doing her best with the bs cards she was handed. Given the social dynamics of her time and place, she is kinda’ the good guy in the middle of all of this.

Am I missing something, here? Cause, I just don’t understand why she gets so much hate and Rhea’s messy ass is loved like she’s some type of Disney princess.

Maybe it's because Rhaenyra has been playing her victim card every chance she gets and even the audience bought into it. It also could be that she represents the idea of a woman ruler and progress for women (kind of), and since Alicent is the mother of the male heir, she by default represents the patriarchal status quo.

House of the Dragon is doing a good job of fleshing out the characters personalities & motivations (even with the time jumps) unlike the Fire & Blood novel which is told from a second hand hearsay narrative. Rhaenyra would probably be a decent queen if allowed to take the throne based on how she puts forth solutions to conflicts & issues in the council chamber (both as a teen & recent adult episode) but her own self centered & entitled nature is fucking her over. She knew going into her marriage to Laenor one of her duties was to produce heirs in order to continue the Targaryen dynasty, so she & Laenor obviously not even attempting to produce at least one legitimate heir in order to shore up her claim to the throne is a highlight of how short sighted she is when it comes to personal matters.

You think they would have locked those two in a tower and not let any males in besides the Father of the Bride and Groom until it was done.

Oooooohhh Weeeee!!! I prepared some St.Louis ribs from Rastelli Market Fresh with Mustard BBQ from Noble Made by New Primal of North Charleston, SC as my binder. Brand new, fresh and shaken violently lol and then seasoned with a brand new, virgin Pork Perfect from Fire & Smoke Society of Little Rock, AR so you know they KNOW pork lol!! Argentinian Steak Rub by Urban Accents of Whole Foods is N/A today . . . but I still got 50% left and added some nice color and flavor profile to the prep. By 1:30pm it was all sealed up and stored away for the "House of the Dragon" bar-b-que I will do Sunday afternoon low & slow ( two burners only).

Do you think HOD should've covered the 1st half of "Fire & Blood"? Reading the summary of F&B on Wikipedia, the 1st half of the book are 4 different main storylines that potentially could each be it's own season.

I don't think HBO wanted to do Aegon's Conquest whatsoever. According to "The Dragon Demands", it was never one of the five GoT pitches even. They could however do a spin-off on "Maegor the Cruel" and his life from boyhood to death. That would have its own lane lol and be very, very entertaining though quite sad and traumatic too!

Are the other planned GoT spinoff shows based on the "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" book (Dunk & Egg)?

How far along is HBO with the Dunk & Egg show?

I remember HBO shot a pilot for another GoT spinoff series before HotD, but ended up bushing that show. What was that failed spinoff about?

That was "Blood Moon" discussed at length earlier in this thread. It was about "The Long Night".
