HBO renews contract with controversial House of the Dragon writer, fans react
Sara Hess has been a writer and producer for big-name television shows like House and Orange is the New Black. Her latest project as a writer was House of the Dragon, season 1. A section of House of the Dragon fans, especially the ones who have read the book Fire & Blood, on which the show is based, are disappointed with HBO’s decision to renew their exclusive contract with her. They fear that with Sara Hess coming back for House of the Dragon season 2; the show might become a tragedy and disservice, like Game of Thrones season 8. (Minor spoiler alert about the show concerning Sara Hess’ writing.)
As per the fans, the writer is behind some of the worst decisions of the show. In her interviews, she has revealed that she and the writers added Rhaenys’ scene in episode 9 because it was “awesome.” Fans haven’t been satisfied with the scene because Rhaenys’ didn’t attack the Greens as it wasn’t her war. In the same episode, the writers managed to give Larys Strong a fetish associated with his impairment. She has also mentioned that she was surprised how fans loved Daemon, who is a bad husband, father, and brother, and this statement didn’t sit well with the fans. We must note that Daemon Targaryen is George R.R. Martin’s favorite Targaryen.
Do we need to start a petition to remove Sara Hess from HoTD S2?? Girl’s been taking L after L with her bad takes and not understanding the source material

-completely ignored Rhaenyra and harwin's relationshipsorry but they're a menace and need to be stopped pic.twitter.com/pVV6Ud4jiL

sara hess: there's a side to daemon you've never seen before in the finale because it doesn't exist. we made it up.

Two of the best character moments of Daemon was an input by the actor, and Sara Hess wanted to diminish the character into something 1-dimensional. Who's gonna tell her "House Targaryen has produced both great men & monsters. Prince Daemon was both" ??#HouseOfTheDragon #HOTD pic.twitter.com/cNFe913lBW

Sara Hess cuestionando al fandom por apreciar los matices de Daemon, ella es de esas guionistas mediocres que solo dan personajes planos, buenos o malos. Martin se caracteriza por crear personajes grises y darles un arco de crecimiento.

‘rhaenys didn’t dracarys alicent bc it wasn’t her war’ sara hess, i need you to understand that rhaenys’ granddaughter is queen consort to be. she’s jace’s betrothed who is rhaenyra’s heir. if rhaenyra is targeted so is jace AND baela. i need you to understand it, sara hess.

Imma need Sara Hess to never write for HOTD again. I support women writers. I don't support her. What a FUNDAMENTAL misunderstanding of these characters. Thank you Sara, time to go, its been ok, not great. Thanks for turning Rhaenys into killer girlboss.
