Battle of Burning Mill happens mostly off-screen in House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 3
Did HBO just skip the majority of the Battle of Burning Mill?
The second season of House of the Dragon is expected to be bloodier than the first. Fans are drawing comparisons between the upcoming battle scenes and the notorious “Battle of the Bastards” from “Game of Thrones,” anticipating even more gruesome sequences. With the new season comprising only eight episodes, there is hope that several fight scenes from the book will be adapted for the screen. Among these, the Battle of the Burning Mill was highly anticipated.
House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 3 shows the aftermath of the Battle of the Burning Mill
The Battle of the Burning Mill was the first significant battle in Dance of the Dragons, where forces who declared for Rhaenyra (Blackwoods) fought against those of the Greens (Brackens). Though most of it happens off-screen, the aftermath is as bloody as one can imagine, with huge losses from both sides.

Fans are confused about the Battle of the Burning Mill
The show once again skipped a major content from George R. R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, leading some fans to question if it even was the aforementioned battle or something else. Some of them took to X and said:

Rant 2. Tagliano tutto. Tagliano il nord con il patto del ghiaccio e del fuoco, tagliano tutta la rilevanza dell'assassinio di Luke e il kinslaying di Aemond, no burning mill. Ma cosa cazzo lo adattano a fare il libro se tolgono tutto.
Okay ora taccio. 😭— 𝒃𝒍𝒖𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒊𝒆𝒔 🫧 𝑳𝒖𝒄𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒔 𝑪𝑬𝑶 (@blueliliies_) July 1, 2024
If they show every battle like they just did with The Battle of the Burning Mill rather then spend a shit ton of money on action sequences I wouldn’t complain. #HouseOfTheDragon
