Having said that, HBO would be doing itself and the millions of fans a disservice if it didn’t listen to George R.R. Martin this time. According to the Game of Thrones creator, it will “take four seasons of 10 episodes each to do justice to the Dance of the Dragons, from start to finish.” Martin’s latest piece of news about House of the Dragon came as he let his inner football fan take over for a while before complimenting Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik for how they handled all the time jumps so far. Specifically, Martin described last Sunday’s episode as exactly how he “hoped it should be.” House of the Dragon’s time jumps has been quite controversial and divisive despite the show’s success. But, if Martin thinks that they’re okay, who are we to complain? In the same post, Martin said that House of the Dragon could have “showed all the things” that the time skips jumped over. But, at the same time, Martin explained that having more episodes risks bogging down the show. House of the Dragon will return for Episode 9 on Sunday, October 16.
