Remember how terrifying JAWS was without even seeing the monster much at all? This penultimate episode said "screw that method, we're showing the monsters in all their glory." And boy were the dragons epic. Bravo to the FX and sound design crew, this should win them the Emmy. The scene in the ale house, setting up Ulf as a potential dragon rider, was a bit cheesy, but otherwise the episode packed in a lot of tension and action. My only complaint is that they've kept Daemon in limbo for the entire season, almost as if they weren't sure what to do with him. The ending shot was pure chills.

My fear, as in most seasons of these epic tales, is that we've peaked at the penultimate episode and the finale will let us down a bit.

Everything about this movie feels lazy. Some of the actors did the best they could with the garbage they had to work with, but it's still hot garbage. Honestly, there's nothing redeeming about this movie. It's not cute, it's not funny, it's not endearing, it's not worth watching for free. My kids stumbled on this on Netflix and they giggled and asked to watch it again at some point. I'm deeply disturbed that they enjoyed this film. I'm not sure these are my kids.
