House of the Dragon is an enjoyable show, but I think that to really appreciate it you have to have read the books, and I say this as someone who hasn't. The problem is that the first season went way too fast and it didn't develop some characters properly, and even this one just keeps introducing new stuff without giving the viewers time to adjust. I see book readers say how excited they are to see a new character, but I just can't share their feeling because we'll probably see said character for two episode before it's killed off. And this is a big problem in my opinion, because many things that should be heavy with feelings for the characters just fall flat. (ex. blood and cheese)

Where are the slow beginnings? Where are my filler episodes? GIVE. ME. TIME. TO. GET. TO. KNOW. THE. CHARACTERS.

HBO when the writers and creators keep rushing series that could be 13 seasons and 20 chapters long

It is repeatedly emphasized in the show that the process of minining kalkite is invasive and risks destroying Ghorman’s biosphere, that the Empire had sought other options before committing to strip mining Ghorman, and that because Ghorman is a prominent Colonies world it would take time to turn public opinion against the Ghor - multiple years! - before they could begin. The entire point is that fascists can’t simply leave well enough alone - to get what they want they will eagerly manufacture consent for genocide. The Empire carefully manages public opinion to spin the massacre as a years-long terrorist uprising being put down, and it’s only Mon Mothma’s speech in the Senate that is able to blow a hole in that narrative.

This is just basic basic basic narrative analysis, but unfortunately we are dealing with Star Wars fans so that is not in their toolbox
