Game Of Thrones fans we are now officially back in the world of Westeros and well then since I had such a good time giving you my first impressions of this show last week I thought that i'd give you an actual review of an episode from this show. So then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the second episode of House Of The Dragon with the episode in question being called simply just "The Rogue Prince" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is Prince Daemon continues his feud with his brother while Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen learns some very harsh truths about the realm. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad since this episodes plot does a good job of not only setting up possible plotlines for future episodes but also following up on plots set up in the first episode of this show as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is Paddy Considine as King Viserys I Targaryen and Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen. Also starring in this episode is Rhys Ifans as Ser Otto Hightower , Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon , Eve Best as Princess Rhaenys Targaryen , Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria , Fabien Frankel as Ser Criston Cole , Milly Alcock as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen , Emily Carey as Alicent Hightower , Graham McTavish as Ser Harrold Westerling , David Horovitch as Grand Maester Mellos , Bill Paterson as Lord Lyman Beesbury and Gavin Spokes as Lord Lyonel Strong.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Which is kind of a let down for me personally since this franchise has always had some really good acting in it and so then to see an episode where the acting isn't that good is kind of really freaking disheartening to me in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Doing the CGI for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Visualskies who I think are also doing the CGI for the entire show as well. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad altho I will admit that some of the dragons did look a little bit cartoony in a few shots tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!
This episode gives us something that was very sorely missing from the first episode and that's the opening intro. However for some strange reason they kept the Game Of Thrones theme which while I do like the Game Of Thrones theme quite alot all it does is serve to remind me that I could be watching a much better show which is a shame because the visuals in the intro are quite visually stunning in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
I will very much admit that I liked the concept of this shows opening intro since it shows us all around what assume is The Red Keep. Which is something that I rather liked since we got to see things that we didn't get to see in Game Of Thrones however I don't like that this shows intro basically just copied the concept behind the Game Of Thrones since it shows a complete and total lack of imagination and creativity in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
I can't describe why I feel this way but I get the feeling that Alicent Hightower is up to something just by her interactions with the King. Makes me think that she's either going to kill him or plot to kill him but I hope that i'm wrong since I would've just pointed out a huge plot point if i'm right and plus I really like this character but so far she's the only one that's got me thinking that there's something more to her then meets the eye which might be a really cool thing depending on how the show goes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty minuets and twenty seven seconds. Which really did fly by since this episode really did have more then enough there interms of plot to cover that running time and it really did help things that the episode was really good and as such I didn't really feel this episodes running time which is always a very good thing indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then since this is a drama that means that I have to talk about the actual drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode doing a very good job of spreading out it's more dramatic moments and presenting them in a way that feels totally organic and not at all forced in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!
Overall this episode was a bit of a let down from the first episode but given that this is a TV series that is something that's to be expected since not every single episode of any TV show can be perfect in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a freaking grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.
