    So I don’t think there’s necessarily dysfunction in the writers room but I do say that the character writing has multiple issues. They aren’t coordinating about little character things and they don’t seem to understand certain things about the knock on effects of the characters’ actions. Mysaria especially is a really good example of, they have no idea how to write a character like this and because of that the character has a knock on effect on rhaenyra’s plot. Not the same sex kiss, that was an unplanned ad lib, but all of the other character choices were really stupid. Same with Rhaena and the vale. I would also say that the end with Daemons vision was a dumb idea because it tosses his character agency out the window and makes it seem like god reached a hand down and smacked him. That’s extremely weak to me. Rhaenys would have been a good character but the dragonpit hangs over her unfortunately and the inconsistency continues. Even little things like we’re going back to war is a change that they added into the story because timeline wise the only war in her lifetime was the stepstones and she wasn’t there in the show universe. The major failing were the attempts to keep rhaenyra and allicent in the story because in inventing those scenes they weaken the narrative and future plot points. Especially the ending which weakens rheanyra and allicent especially allicent and breaks her irreversibly. I just think they don’t have someone going over the scripts to catch all these and or tell them this is going to have a knock on effect in the future don’t do this, your idea is stupid.

      Within reasonable doubt, such inconsistencies might have been due to lack of rewrites. It’s difficult to say. But I DO say there’s absolutely no hard evidence of “chaos” between writers and directors WITHIN Condal’s staff.

      @@thedragondemands5186 I don’t know inconsistencies like what’s happening currently have been around since season 1 and they’ve continued compounding. Before they were sort of understandable/less noticeable because of the time jumps, but now that there are no time jumps the inconsistencies are more noticeable and less excusable. So I’m more questioning their competence with this in constructing a coherent narrative.

      @thedragondemands5186 agreed!! It's why writers fought so hard for writers to be onset for live rewrites during the writers' strike because they know how important it is even though most modern productions remove it to save money.

    I don’t get how you can defend Condal’s creative choices while bashing on D&D. S2 of HotD was a huge disappointment. Rhaenyra had more screentime one season than Dany had in all of GoT, yet she is so forgettable and bland. They should’ve let the younger cast shine, but we barely see any of them, save for Aegon. Who other than book readers will genuinely care when Jace and Helaena dies? The stakes of the world are also seemingly non existent, given how characters can enter enemy territory without issues. At least the first seasons of GoT made the medieval norms believable, and Renly and Stannis met under parley. It’s just such a disappointment. I was so hyped for S2, and feel nothing for S3. According to George, more toxic butterflies awaits, so that’s nice, I guess

    about inconsistencies, is it just me, or this a bit of an issue with TV in general? one could certainly debate how much, in HOTD, was due to the studio, how much to the strike, and how much to a lack of co-ordination among the writers.
    i still find HOTD significantly better than other shows i've watched lately.

    The reduction to 8 episodes could easily be both "not really their decision" AND a creative decision. The studio probably just said they have 20% less budget, and they made the decision to cut off 2 episodes rather than reduce the budget for each episode by 20%
