Good morning, Courtney!

I almost didn’t start watching House of Dragons because I’m among those that were bitterly disappointed in how the whole GoT series ended... like a symphony that starts with good themes, colors, form and then has a terrible “ta-dah!” finale. (sigh) So, my investment was cautious initially in HoD, and I nearly didn’t get through the first episode with the rather exploitive (IMHO) death of the first queen. I’ve stayed with each episode and I thought that once the first time jump was made, not only was the violence more carefully focused (while still graphic), but the slow burn started to pay off. I do think the casting is generally excellent, and my husband and I discuss each episode for a couple of days afterwards. So that must mean something, eh?
