Fans react to House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 2, wishing for longer episodes

The second episode of House of the Dragon Season 2 has arrived. The narrative of vengeance deepens as the conflict unfolds on two fronts – the battlefields and the shadowy world of assassins. In the previous episode, we witnessed Daemon fulfilling his grim vow of “taking a son for a son.”. And following the trend of Game of Thrones, this episode was full of tragedies as well.

House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 2 veers slightly off the source material

Though mostly sticking to the source material, House of the Dragon takes many creative liberties of its own. For example, in Fire and Blood, the Flea Bottom denizens riot when the Greens take Jaehaerys’ body out for the funeral procession. That does not happen in the episode. Aemond never confesses in Fire & Blood that killing Luke was a mistake. He does so, though in secret, in House of the Dragon. Moreover, there is no mention of Erryk committing suicide, unlike the show, after the Cargyllbowl.

Despite its various inaccuracies with the source, fans have largely accepted the series as an artwork so far. A lot of them cannot even wait for the upcoming episode, while some were demanding longer episode lengths.

Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon justifiably receive a lot of criticism about some of its lighting but every now and then it pops up with an absolutely fantastic composition that always leaves me impressed. pic.twitter.com/iJmfAL6Wdf

House of the Dragon really only has one flaw, for such a beautifully-shot, immaculately produced show. None of these characters are interesting.

People were already comparing The Acolyte to House of the Dragon when it came to budget, acting, script, and set design and then HotD just went and did more engaging doppelgänger twin drama within four minutes than Acolyte has done in its first four episodes. pic.twitter.com/aw3jYdef0i
