☆ 'House of the Dragon' season finale review: 'The Black Queen' soars into the battle to come
  + stars: | 2022-10-24 | by ( Review Brian Lowry | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
Editor’s Note: This story contains spoilers about the “House of the Dragon” season finale. CNN —The two giant fantasy series that premiered within weeks of each other shared massive scope and scale. The “Dragon” season finale that premiered October 23, subtitled “The Black Queen,” in a sense brought this first season – at times uneven, but always interesting – full circle. Although it wasn’t a direct competition between “Dragon” and “Rings,” the parallels between them and the timing of their release made comparisons virtually inevitable. But based on its opening salvo, score “House of the Dragon” as a victory for the old guard.

That said, many of the characters in "House of the Dragon" are ancestors of the characters we meet in "Game of Thrones."
☆ ‘Game of Thrones’ ended with a thud. But ‘House of the Dragon’ has caught fire

New York CNN Business —HBO has created a kingdom of hits, with none as popular as “Game of Thrones.” But “Game of Thrones” ended with a thud in 2019 when critics and fans were unhappy with the fantasy epic’s ho-hum conclusion (Bran Stark on the Iron Throne? Create more “Game of Thrones,” of course. Enter “House of the Dragon,” a prequel that takes place almost 200 years before the events of its predecessor and focuses on the Targaryen family. To put that number into context, season seven of “Game of Thrones” averaged 32.7 million viewers per episode, and season 8, its final season, averaged 46 million viewers. (It doesn’t hurt that “Game of Thrones” is pretty much like watching sports, albeit with more dragons.)
☆ The case for — and against — watching movies and TV shows with subtitles on
  + stars: | 2022-09-28 | by ( Travis Clark | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
But for "House of the Dragon," I've found that it's necessary and supplemental. I've also been watching Amazon's "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" with subtitles, for similar reasons. With a recent survey revealing that people are increasingly using them, I took a look at the case for — and against —turning on subtitles. Subtitles can also be helpful if your TV doesn't have the best sound quality (although there are ways to adjust that). "House of the Dragon" and "The Rings of Power" are some of the best-looking shows on TV, and the subtitles can distract from the beautiful imagery.
☆ Olivia Cooke reacts to replacing Emily Carey on ‘House of the Dragon’

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. Cooke and Emma D’Arcy will now play the adult versions of their characters, Queen Alicent Hightower and Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. Carey and actress Milly Alcock departed the series after five episodes. Before the new episode debuted on HBO, Carey complimented Cooke, writing, “Tune in to House of the Dragon tonight to FINALLY see what @livkatecooke & @emmaziadarcy do what they do best.”She also shared a photo of herself as Alicent alongside Cooke’s older version. “House of the Dragon” airs on HBO, which like CNN is part of Warner Bros.

Sept 22 (Reuters) - When audiences tune into HBO Max’s “Game of Thrones” spin-off “The House of the Dragon” on Sunday, there will be a few changes. Olivia Cooke will now take over the role of the Queen and Emma D’Arcy will be playing the Princess.

I have only met them a few times, which is why this whole experience has been so weird, being like 'Oh we play the same person, but I've never really met you'." It was almost essentially like we were playing two different characters, two very, very different people."
☆ '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.)
