House of the Dragon: Smallfolk (2024)
please listen to me... it's not that bad
You all can't be serious. I get the disappointment, i also thought season 2 would have much more action and twists. But just because there is no major death or battle in the last 2 episodes (especially considering that we got a hell of a half-season finale with episode 4), thousands of imbd users spam a 1/10 rating? Right now the average for this episode is 6.4, is it really that bad?? Do you remember the first seasons of Game of Thrones? How many battles have there been in the first 3 season (which is 30 hours indeed)? Yes, 1! Only Blackwater. People loved the world building and the dialoge, and they hated the show when it became rushed in season 7 and 8. Now we got the show of our dreams, which takes its time to not be rushed again. And people give it a 1 just because there weren't major plot twists 2 episodes in a row.
Ryan Condal explained that this season is both the start of the war but also a epilogue to where the war will lead. This tik tok generation can't stand great dialogue and story telling anymore, it's ridiculous. This episode has some amazing scenes like the resistance in Kings Landing or Seasmoke finding a new rider. Every scene from the greens is great as well. The green council scenes are delivering as always, but the scene between aemond and aegon, aegon and larys and alicent and her brother have also been soo good. We really get some great dialogue here, and i believe that the build up is done pretty well. Don't worry, there will be a huge payoff and i believe that the episode does a great job in setting up the last two episodes of this season.
I get it, when people want more highlights, and i'm also a bit annoyed of Deamons storyline in Harrenhall. But blame the source material, deamon spends a year in Harrenhall in the books, so it kind of makes sense that he spends a huge part of this season there. And considering the unnecessary sex scene with his mother last episode, this episodes hallucinations actually serve more purpose, since we saw him relive the scene with Viserys from the heirs of the dragon (S1E1), which actually made sense as this was the moment where all the drama for him begun.
Overall, this episode is definitely not as good as others, but does it truly deserve so much hate? The ratings are unbelievable lower than GOT season 7, do you really think it's truly that bad? Considering the production value, please give it a 5/10 or 6/10 but the people that gave a 1/10 just because there aren't big events clearly need to overthink their action.
House of the Dragon: The Green Council (2022)
By Far the best Episode of the Season
Episode 7 and 8 were already great, but this one was even better. The Music in this episode was some of the best in the entire Game of Thrones Universe, thank you Ramin! The Directing was also outstanding this time and the pace just felt on point. Every second of this hour was highly exciting and it was all concluded in a epic finale. If this episode would have been the season finale i wouldn't have had any problem, as the episode perfectly set up the last steps for the dance of the dragon. And now it can finally begin. A tension filled episode that blowed me even more away than its two predecessors.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part IV (2022)
It's sooo bad
You remember the times when Star Wars was special? Well, those times are over. Star Wars music used to be the best Music any show or movie ever delivered, probably except Game of Thrones, but nowadays the music just have nothing to do with Star Wars anymore. It's so average and forgettable. The action is so unspectacular that I had to trie to not fall asleep. Remember the amazing directed fight scenes of Revenge of the Sith or Rogue One? Well now you can watch how so much potential gets lost and instead once again laughable fight scenes that are just unspectacular (remember Mandalorian season 2? Why is the action so stupid now?) Furthermore, you watch 1000 Stormtroopers overseeing an absolutely obvious Obi Wan walking down a one mile long Hallway while the base is getting shut down and everybody has to watch out for Obi wan. But of course no one sees him. So hilarious. God how easy he heals from his injury, how easy they get in the base and how easy they are able to escape. The episode is so stupidly written i can't believe it. And gosh, the Dialog is soooo bad and boring like it has been written by a 10 year old.
Even if the story is not intelligent at all, it should at least be visually and musically impressive. But laughable dialog, unspectacular action and music and the stupidest villains of all time made me laugh at this show that I was so hyped for.
Narcos: México: 12 Steps (2021)
Promising start in the next season
Narcos: Mexico is still probably the best Netflix originally show, maybe after Narcos itself.
Season 2 already was soo amazing. Can't wait to see how it will continue.
True Detective: The Secret Fate of All Life (2014)
One of the best Hours in TV-History
Even better then Who goes There. Episode 4 was probably as good as ozymandias or the winds of winter, but The Secret Fate of All Life was just even better. If you haven't watched True detective, do it!
And wow, that music, acting and the dialogs. Just...Wow.
Disney Gallery: Star Wars: The Mandalorian: Directing (2020)
For all real fans
Well even if mandalorian had this completely bad and disappointing 6. Episode with the cringest Charakters since hat jar binks, it was a great tv show for all real Star Wars fans.For everyone who enjoyed the series as much as I did I would really recommended you to watch this making of series
Game of Thrones: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2019)
Not as good as the previous one but still great
Another episode full of reunions and exposition. The battle of Winterfell is approaching and seeing how the characters plan to defend the attack and what they do in the night before the battle is very interesting.But this time the dialogs are not always good and the episode is a little boring at some moments.There is no scene with Bronn, and there is also no scene in Kingslanding. So the whole episode is in Winterfell with people preparing for the next episode. And that is my only problem with this episode. So it's not as good as "Winterfell" but still a awesome got episode and a good setup for the big battle in episode 3 which is high expected.
Game of Thrones: Winterfell (2019)
Fantastic start for new season
The wait is over! "Winterfell" was a perfect start for season 8. The new intro is great and the episode is one of the funniest of the entire series. That opening scene with the music "the kings arrival",all those long expected reunions, dannys talk with sam, and his with jon and finally that scary umber scene followed by jamie seeing bran make this episode an great opener for the last episodes of this series
