Take the Black: Complaining about the latest episode of House of the Dragon, “Regent”

BBG News

As a devoted fan of “House of the Dragon,” I have to admit that the fifth episode of season two, titled “Regent,” left me feeling a bit underwhelmed. Don’t get me wrong; there were some moments that hit the mark, such as Baela Targaryen’s emotional scene with her grandfather Corlys and the opening scenes featuring the head of the dragon Meleys in King’s Landing. However, these positive moments were outweighed by others, particularly those involving Daemon Targaryen, which left me feeling flat.

The fifth installment of the second series of “House of the Dragon,” titled “Regent,” has been completed. While it had some strong parts, it may not be the episode that stands out when reflecting on memorable moments from the season as a whole.

As a passionate gamer and avid fan of all things sci-fi, fantasy, movies, TV, and books, I’m excited to share that on Take the Black, our weekly chat show, we deep dive into these topics. Every Wednesday, my co-hosts and I gather to discuss the latest news, trends, and releases in our favorite genres. And after each new episode of “House of the Dragon,” on Sunday nights, we come together for an in-depth analysis. So, join us as we explore the intricacies of these captivating worlds – watch our latest episode below!

We don’t entirely dislike the show; there are parts we truly appreciate, such as Baela Targaryen’s emotional connection with her grandfather Corlys, the thrilling opening scenes featuring Meleys’ dragon flying over King’s Landing, and the engaging interactions between Team Green members. However, certain aspects leave us feeling frustrated. Specifically, we find it hard to understand why the writers chose to portray Daemon Targaryen as inept and ineffective instead of the exciting and menacing character he was initially presented as. It’s a disappointment for us.

The episode felt a tad sluggish and lacked the usual excitement. Some plotlines seemed to be building up to nothing, at least not just yet. Following last week’s intense installment, we can cut some slack for a more subdued one. But keep it brief, please?
