.ShaneRyanHere & JoshJackson are back with their letter reviews for House of the Dragon, Episode 3
is starting to feel like Westeros at the 5,000-foot view—a retelling of the royal story where only the names that make it into the history books matter. You’re right in that we never get the name of the poor sap who thinks Daemon and his dragon are his salvation only to be pounded into sand. And it suffers in that comparison. Evengives us some Harfoots and village folk to care about.
Fortunately, as you’ve pointed out, Martin knows how to make political intrigue intriguing, and that’s what I’m holding onto for now. Viserys has the weight of Westeros on his shoulders, and Paddy Consedine is mostly carryingon his back, although Milly Alcock has been terrific as Rhaenyra Targaryen so far. I may not fear for the princess’s safety, but I will miss her when she’s swapped out for an older actress.
But maybe all this backstory will provide for a better payoff once we’ve moved forward enough in time for the show to slow down. Is it fair to expect any kind of investment in the stories of the small folk when their part in this history is fleeting at best? These episodes are snippets in a grander story and until there’s some immediacy to the events, it’s going to feel more textbook than novel.
