House of the Dragon is gearing up for its third season, and Sport of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin has lastly up to date his Not a Weblog about what he plans to write down subsequent. No, it’s not a tangible replace on the Winds of Winter; it’s a dissertation of types on everything that went wrong with the HBO present.
In Martin’s brief blog update, the creator regaled his followers about his much-needed trip, which he’d simply returned from, and his bout with covid. Martin additionally handily acknowledged that his time away meant he had a whole lot of catching as much as along with his writing. Extra particularly, he expressed his ideas on Home of the Dragon season two, which wrapped up in August.
“I don’t look ahead to different posts I would like to write down, about the whole lot that’s gone improper with Home of the Dragon… however I would like to try this too, and I’ll,” Martin wrote. “Not as we speak, although.”
Whereas Martin hasn’t been shy about vocalizing varied critiques of HBO’s dealing with of Sport of Thrones and Home of the Dragon—most lately relating to visual inaccuracies of the Targaryen flag—it’s uncommon for him to say there was one thing improper with the present explicitly. When Game of Thrones‘ contentious series finale rolled round, Martin alluded to the showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff going down a different path than he would have liked.
Though Martin doesn’t disclose what his upcoming critiques will give attention to, most unfavourable fan reactions to Home of the Dragon season two have taken problem with the present’s pacing, particularly how the collection plans on stretching out an admittedly free part of Martin’s Targaryen historical past Hearth & Blood into 4 seasons. This, in flip, has led many viewers to really feel just like the second season dragged in locations with filler content material to area out the gaps between the supply materials’s main story beats. Seeing as how Martin initially wished Game of Thrones to end in a movie trilogy to avoid its pacing points, there’s a non-zero p.c likelihood his forthcoming critic might take umbrage with Home of the Dragon‘s pacing points.
As with most issues with Martin, we received’t know precisely what he’s cooking in a critique of Home of Dragon till he places the proverbial pen to paper. Let’s hope no matter he writes lights a fireplace below his ass to get again to ending the very long-awaited Winds of Winter.
