House Of The Dragon: Second Episode Kills The Hype
GOT is well-known for its shocking moments, razor-sharp dialogue that gets to to the point, and the way each scene develops and ends. However, many anticipated that Princess Rhaenyra would show off her skills in the second HOD episode but instead she was only given a few sequences that lacked substance from a directing perspective.
King Viserys' choice to wed a 12-year-old child shows what life was like in the age of the Kingdoms, but it hasn't produced many surprises. But the true surprise came when he revealed that he would wed Alicent Hightower, Hand Otto's daughter, who also happens to be Rhaenyra's best friend.
The only visually striking part of the entire one-hour programme is the introduction of Crabfeeder, whose methods of torturing men by feeding them to crabs are terrible yet intriguing. The second episode of the show is paler than the premiere episode, which is understandable given that the show is entirely focused on dragons and has few "dracarys" moments.
