CNN —“House of the Dragon” star Emily Carey is reacting to actress Olivia Cooke now stepping in to reign as the series takes a time jump.

☆ 'House of the Dragon' closes a chapter, but not before touching on a painful trope
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-19 | by ( Brian Lowry | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +1 min

The following contains spoilers about the fifth episode of "House of the Dragon," which premiered Sept. 18. (CNN) "House of the Dragon's" fifth episode is actually significant for logistical reasons, essentially marking the end of the chapter before the show time jumps ahead, featuring older versions of some characters and somewhat shuffling the deck. The strides made in terms of greater inclusion have coincided with debate about how those characters are portrayed and the fates that they meet, giving rise to a much-discussed trope known as "Bury Your Gays." The phrase refers to a history in which gay characters have disproportionately died as a plot device, creating the impression they are more expendable in the eyes of storytellers. (The series plays on HBO, which, like CNN, is a unit of Warner Bros.

☆ 'House of the Dragon' plays a less-addictive game for an earlier throne
▼ + stars: | 2022-08-19 | by ( Review Brian Lowry | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +1 min

(CNN) HBO has followed the majesty of "Game of Thrones" with what might be called "games of throne" in "House of the Dragon," a series whose epic visual grandeur belies a smaller and less addictive power struggle, more narrowly focused on the Targaryen line. It's not bad, and there are dragons aplenty, but it doesn't produce the sort of characters that defined and elevated its predecessor to prestige-TV royalty. Martin 's prequel "Fire & Blood," the new series has the disadvantage of being set almost two centuries before the key events in "Game of Thrones," taking place 172 years prior to the birth of Daenerys Targaryen. That ratchets up the pressure to sink or swim -- or rather, soar or sputter -- strictly on its own terms. (As an aside, all those flowing blond-white Targaryen locks should lock up a hairdressing Emmy, if nothing else.)
