are we going to see one-eye get his come uppance? I doubt it. I havent watched esp 8 yet but I bet it fizzles out rather than a collosal dragon battle

I totally loved the last third of this episode, making it perhaps the best episode of the show (for me)!
And not only because they spent a big portion of the show's CGI budget here. :D

This feels like a random horrible TLC show where everything is despicable but you just watch because you hope it gets better. And then it never does. You get occasional glimpses of greatness in characters but they're buried deep within their past often horrendous mistakes.
I still get the appeal of this but I seriously think that it's mostly "look who can fall even lower next episode" sort of thing.

Ok, I did bite when I read z1rra's comment. Tried to stay awake through the episode hoping I will be rewarded. And... na... even that was utterly disappointing.
forceing myself through the episode just reconfirmed my thought that the biggest issue with HoD is that I couldn't give a .... on any of the characters or what is happening. The general writing is bad, the characters are weak, the cast and their performance pathetic.
Clearly shows the screenwriters lack talent to develop the scraps and few leads, pointers and names from the books into a convincing story arc and develop strong character leads.
And probably all decent TV show actors read the manuscript and said "na, let's better go and do another crime procedural, family drama or coming of age comedy.

I agree. They finally had some action. I had to re watch the fist few episodes again so I could catch all the sub plots. It is finally getting some traction.
I hope they keep the flow of action going in the remaining episodes from now on.

After wanting to see a fight with dragons for a long time I feel like it is okay not to see it that often :D

Yes, but might be on par with later seasons.
Spot on. Not a bad episode but a tad limp as a season finale.
