House of the Dragon abandons its source material in setup-heavy season 2 finale

We’ve concluded the second season of ‘House of the Dragon’, and I find myself compelled to express some thoughts. Despite the impressive production quality and aesthetic appeal of the final episode titled “The Queen Who Never Was”, there are a couple of significant issues that I can’t help but address, one related to structure and the other to theme.

Tonight marks the finale of “House of the Dragon” season 2, and HBO isn’t letting the captivated audience pass without a show. In addition to shows premiering this year, they also previewed upcoming series set for release next year. Notably, we got our first glimpse of “The Last of Us” season 2, starring Pedro Pascal reprising his role as Joel and Bella Ramsey returning as Ellie, two resilient figures navigating the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. Predictably, they saved this exciting sneak peek for last.
