No but I'll check it out (not like how I told you I'd check out Fallout). I was actually enjoying HotD for whatever its flaws because it felt like they weren't quite as up their own ass about owning the epic behemoth IP, if that makes sense. Kind of like what FlakesBongler said about this series compared to GoT or HotD ironically. I wish we'd have gotten those last two episodes of season 2, I am always ready for some fantasy medieval naval engagements and Abigail Thorn is serving [user was intercepted by v*lcel police before finishing this thought, carry on citizens]

I kind of didn't think about AKotSK even thought I saw ads for it because I thought, oh they're going to try to keep milking this. But if it is more of a human-level experience in the ASOIAF world, that actually does sound enjoyable. It's been .... a decade?!
since I read the books but I like how GRRM breathes life into all the small folk who are getting absolutely steamrolled by events.
Wait what?
Unless I am mistaken, S2 of House of the Dragon was planned to have two more episodes. Those were cut because of scheduling restraints around the writer's strike. This would have included a big naval battle around King's Landing? I think, it's been a minute.

Damn I did not know that. I would have loved to see more of the naval stuff too. One of my favorite parts of the books was Euron Greyjoy and his mysterious journey to and back from the smoking sea.
The plot beats from the cut episodes are very impactful to the story, so they have to put them into the beginning of s3 in some form.
