Thread Name: BS: House of the Dragon or Rings of Power?
Subject: RE: BS: House of the Dragon or Rings of Power?
Each to their own! I enjoy fantasy films and TV, along with one or two others, so I thought a discussion may be fruitful. I guess if the only comments are from people with no interest in the genre, I was wrong :-(

I have caught up with both now. Overall, House of the Dragon seems better produced but I am enjoying both. Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryon in HOTD is brilliant. Rings of Power seems to be trying to cram to much in but considering the scope of Tolkein's work, that is not surprising. One odd thing about Rings is the regional accents. So far, Elves are posh, Hobbits are Irish, Men are from Yorkshire and Dwarves are Scottish! It is odd seeing Lenny Henry as an Irish Hobbit but he makes it work :-)
