Lol HOTD looks cheap compared to LOTR. 

 

Not to mention critics love LOTR whilst they all shat on GOT

I'm a little tired of the stan war between both shows. They are both amazing in their own ways and quite different despite having similar genres. Waiting to watch episode 3 with my family which is lowkey killing me

[Bad Wolf]

I don't get the hate. Ep 1 is glacially slow, yes... but Eps 2-3 are SOOO good (at least I thought) 

[twinkpeaks]

3 was boring 

 

 

 

[Ampersand13]

I really enjoyed episode 3! Perched for tomorrow 

[Harriser]

Epsiode 4 was my favorite yet, the world building 

[Xoxogossipgurl]

Episode 4 is GREAT. Also Halbrand is hot lol. His chemistry with Galadriel is fun to watch. I don't expect a relationship though so people on twitter can calm down lol. 

 

The Dwarves continue to be a huge highlight on this show. 

[mystery]

I have to agree that the scenes with the Dwarves uplift the show so much. Definitely a highlight. I also want to note how horrifying the vision scene with the wave flooding Numenor looked.

[Pinter]

Episode 4 is the best so far wheww....

 

Looks like the meteor man is not gandalf but.... No wonder he killed those bugs.. 

[zaso]

i gave up on the show after watching the first two eps but my brother forced me to watch ep 3 with him and i loved it i didn't expect them to introduce numenor so early in the show but i'm loving all the numenor scenes so far

the cast still sucks and galadriel's actress is still bland tho. i still wish they chose a better actress for the role cuz her journey is the most interesting to follow but she's just so damn boring to watch

 

 

[SpankGangsta]

I havent been watching past episode 2. Doing it now and I hope it gets good

[northwest]

The ep 4 is the best so far.

 

Galandriel is still the least interesting character, i don't like her very much 

[SpankGangsta]

Ep 3 and Ep 4 is good, each episodes is getting better and better

How does Elnord father hold nothern star(?), does that mean he lives in the sky? Idgi

Numenor looks so ******* pretty, the location and everything, I wish I lived there. One thing RoP done right is the visuals imo

Elnord and The Dwarves are still the best thing in this series, honestly, they should get paid the most

The humans are getting more interesting. I'm shocked the old tavern guy is evil, I thought he's just an old boomer

The issues I have with this series:

Galandriel is so one dimensional, like they deliberately make her selfish and uncustomed to court/manners stuff and it does not make her seems quirky at all.. it just made her a rude ***** and honestly if this is how the writers view "strong woman" then they should go back studying in University..

The dark elf is a Mary sue...dude legit is the most OP character

 

Overall I think the series is getting good and I am now pumped to watch the series on time

I agree. Both are fantasy but different stories. Imagine complaining about having two high budget fantasy series airing on the same time

Elrond is so cute

He grows on you. I admit at the beginning he didn’t catch my eye that much and I like the dark elf but with time I started to like what I see from Elrond. Like he is special kind attractiveness.

Elrond and Arondir WHEW

[Elusive Chanteuse]

I really liked episode 4. The singing gave me chills.

[Park Jinyoung]

EP 4 literally so SLAY  felt like i was watching a movie. 

[Xoxogossipgurl]

The crazy thing is I think the pilot episode may be the worst of the series so far. The show literally picks up and finds it's footing in episode 2 and it hasn't let up at all yet since then IMO.

As a true lover of GRRM, I will say that House of the Dragon is becoming more... idk, trash. It feels super rushed. I agree with the cheap statements. I've never seen a single Lord of the Rings film but I am becoming more invested into the TV show.

omg so you-know-who is who we think he is?

i don't think there is really a stan war. I think RoP haters (you know...book purists, righ-wing people) are just using HotD so trash it. It happens everytime when something is being hated nonstop.

This is the Rings of Power thread , also you should do yourself a service and watch the Lord of the Rings films. They are truly amazing.
