HOTD In The Media: News From The Citadel

[CountryGirl]

Emma was nominated for a Golden Globe. I'm so happy for them.

[PatsyandEddie]

I’m very disappointed that so many important scenes ended up on the cutting room floor.

I'm disappointed that Paddy Considine didn't get a Golden Globe nomination.  Hopefully the Emmy committee will rectify that mistake.

That was a good scene! I don’t know why they cut it. I would’ve prefered that one than footage of the stillbirth (they could’ve shown Rhaenyra cramping and then cut to a bundle to indicate the baby died). This one pushes the narrative more.

Someone on Youtube is making a lot of videos on him and the comments are crazy. Like they should just go take  a cold shower at this rate.😂

Youtube, huh?  Doesn't sound suitable for work, though, so I guess I'll have to wait until I get home. 😍

Hello All,

I am new here but wanted everyone who is a fan of House Of Dragons, please show your support for Emma D'Arcy for her Golden Globe nomination in HOD.  PLEASE pass the word on and watch the show on HBO. Also pass the word on to help her win the Golden Globe.  She deserves it.  Thank You for the support.

It's been confirmed that HOTD won't return until summer 2004.

Erm. I meant 2024, still quite a while from now.

I was just going to ask if any ravens had arrived with news of S02, then I saw this. Alas...There is such a thing as too much time in between seasons, and this is it.

I know.  I'm gonna run out of things in which to see Ewan Mitchell way before then.  And I'll probably have re-watched all of GOT by THIS summer, damn it.

[cambridgeguy]

Looks like season 2 will only be 8 episodes

The article mentions that they're still going back and forth about whether they need 3 or 4 seasons to tell the story.  There are a few logical places to finish season 2 if they want to end with a bang.

I can't imagine them wanting to use a particular battle before the end of season 3, so I think they will really need 4 seasons. 

[magdalene]

A resounding meh! having the second season reduced from 10 episodes to only 8. Not exactly a vote of confidence, is it now?

Depends on how many seasons they expect, I think.  Plus, given the viewing numbers HBO got for the first season, they probably have a great deal of confidence in season 2.

Some new season 2 cast members

Alys Rivers, Gwayne Hightower, Simon Strong, Alyn of Hull.  Gwayne has already appeared (he was unhorsed by Daemon in the pilot) but that was just a stunt guy.

[Archangel]

Let’s just hope that no matter what happens for Season 2 or beyond, we don’t have anymore Alicent/Larys “footsie” scenes…..that visual was more off putting that either of the childbirth scenes in ep 1 or ep 10….just saying…

Some filming updates for S2:

• Filming is underway in England, Spain, and Wales
• Filming is expected to wrap in October 2023
• The premiere is sometime in summer of 20-freaking-24 (which we already knew, I think)
• There will be 8 episodes, with no time jumps
• S3 is already mapped out
• And the best news of all? Five - count 'em - f-i-v-e new dragons are set to appear 🔥

Yes, I've watched it more than once.  Hoping it hits the local PBS station this summer.  I've watched everything I can easily get my hands on, so now I'm going to have to hunt for things on various streaming services.  Not sure I can watch High Life, though; it sounds horribly bleak.

I don't know if you've read the interview he did for The Face, but if you did, you'll get why I found a particular line in last night's Young Sheldon so funny: "I hope you like 7 sugars".

lol I did read the face interview, 7 sugars is alot lol. High Life, I fast forward to parts where Ewan was in and when he was killed, I turned it off just like Trigger point.

I'm surprised he wasn't bouncing off the walls. 🤪

I may just try your method for watching High Life, since he's in his skivvies in it.  I did finish Trigger Point but only because I wanted to know if I was right about the identity of the bomber.  (I was.)

High Life he actually takes his clothes off but you only see the back side for a moment lol. Who was the bomber?

Thanks for the info.  I've seen that page but haven't frequented it.  Guess I will now.  (Oh crap, I'm probably going to end up joining Twitter, and Ewan himself isn't even on there. 🥴)

I looked on the Twitter page and the only photos I could find appear to have been from the filming of season one.  Will have to check youtube, though.

Emmy nominations are out.  HOTD got one for best drama but no acting nominations at all.  Paddy Considine, Emma D'arcy and Olivia Cooke got robbed.

I'm in shock that Paddy Considine wasn't nominated. Sometimes I wonder if they actually watch shows because how on earth does this happen? It's also annoying how two shows basically dominated the drama categories for acting. 

I think Emma took herself out of consideration but what's the excuse for not nominating Olivia Cooke? 

Very disappointing. I hope this show gets more love in the future  

[benteen]

I find the lack of major nominations past Best Drama to be stunning. A show like Yellowjackets, which was a complete train wreck this past season got more awards love which to me indicates the voters didn't actually watch it. Succession winning another Best Drama is not a surprise to me. It deserves it and the actors nominated for supporting actor are all worthy. But I would substitute any one of them for Paddy Considine, that's how great he was on HOTD. It feels to me that his performance has been almost intentionally overlooked. I'm also not a fan of two shows getting cluster nominations in one category.

They managed to nominate practically the entire cast of freaking White Lotus and couldn't managed one slot for Paddy at least.  Does indeed make me wonder if the Emmy voters watch the shows at all.

[aghst]

Maybe they favor American actors or at least those who live in Hollywood, with the Emmy voters.

I'm guessing actors socialize or run into some of the Emmy voters now and then.
