Watching both "House of the Dragon" and "Rings Of Power", both are proving to be interesting so far... Of course the first few episodes are going to be a little slow as they have all new characters to introduce, but they are quickly picking up steam..
HOTD as one would expect has lots of Dragons.. It also feels like it's going to include all the British actors/actresses not in GOT, not that Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, Rhys Ifans are slouches... Apparently, last night's episode went full GOT last night.
The hubbub over the casting of ROP is just more white fragility on display, it's fantasy FFS.. and besides the Harfoots are described as being of "Browner of skin" then Hobbits.. Anyways, it would appear that ROP is building towards the main characters banding together eventually, hard to say as my only exposure to that universe is the movies...
