YOU KNOW WHY
It's those bytchass maesters who are anti science.
They don't wanna try any new experiments but wanna stick to old procedures.

Those were the books this is a TV show.
You can’t suddenly jump 10 years later in a season with new actors and new characters without it feeling jarring like a MF.
I was expecting the episode to pick right up after last weeks where the King collapses which was a cliffhanger instead we go 10 years forward and there’s a bunch of new cac kids running around

I wonder if the Eddard that was helping Viserys with his Legos was a Stark? He did have dark hair.All this show tells me that #StarkSet has and will always be right.
We chilling up in the Nawth, leave us the fukk alone
And WTF is Viserys building? He been working on that shyt for at least 12 years.

A model of Valyria. He told Alicent this when she first came to seduce him. It helps calm him; it’s the medieval version of a toy train set. It’s not the type of project that is ever supposed to complete. It’s just going to get more and more detailed until he dies.

The showrunners knew this when they took the project on, so I can’t accept this as an excuse for poor storytelling. They knew they were going to have to flesh a lot of this stuff out. I’m not even bothered by the time jumps, but stuff like Strong house mutiny is egregious. I don’t even remember seeing Cripplefinger, his brother, and his father converse. Was he consistently and chronically disrespected? Or is he just a power crazed maniac? We only have our guesses to his motivation. Does anyone even know Cripplefinger’s position in King’s Landing?
I realize how difficult it is to fill in gaps in a story as well fleshed out as ASOIAF. They added very little to GOT early seasons and still inadvertently invalidated Cersei’s prophecy with a 30 second conversation they chose to add. Plus, they have to add to multiple storylines to balance screen times all while keeping the story compelling or risk the audience calling it boring. But, again, this is what they signed up for. And House Of The Dragon has the advantage of being “history” to GOT. So minor misalignment from things we’ve seen/heard in GOT can just be dismissed as the accepted history being inaccurate, which is true of historical stories in our world as well.
Some of their other changes even gave them a reason to flesh things out more. For example, their decision to make the Valryons Black. That made Rhae’s b*stard children far too obvious and in doing so makes Cersei being able to pass her b*stard children off for years look funny in the light. Ned Stark and John Arryn shouldn’t have needed to read some obscure book to get an epiphany with this obvious example being in their history. Furthermore, with how obvious Rhae’s b*stards look, we should have seen the first one born. That was important to show. We should have seen if Rhae truly tried to get Laenor to fulfill his duty and he refused…could’ve drawn parallels between Maegery Tyrell and Renly Baratheon.
I could go on and on. I am thoroughly enjoying this show. It’s nowhere near as bad as seasons 7 and 8 of GOT, but they could’ve handled a lot of this much better. Like someone else said, we have to accept that this won’t be a GOAT level show, but it’s still very entertaining to me.
I understand everything you said and your points are all valid. I see the current pace as a lesser of two evils. After all the shyt that has occurred with other shows (GOT S7 & S8, LOTR ROP, HALO etc) I would rather have gaps than trust hollywood writers to fill in shyt. Somehow they always manage to fukk it up.
There's also so much stuff to get to that some of these events and characters are relatively minor. Even for 5 seasons some of these events are a irrelevant and in 5 years you may be wondering why they even bothered to show it.

And he still alive and kicking it.
We should have a Vicerys death pool at this point. Let's bet coli cash on whether or not he's still alive this Sunday
