Tell you what happened:
NOTHING HAPPENED!
What a waste of 200 million and 8 hrs of screen time. What a waste of a season..
Looking back to, for example, Game of Thrones season 7, Tyrion and Varys cock jokes, Ninja Arya, Dragons, the Night King, Ice Spears, the North, The Wall, Beyond the Wall.., what the hell were they even doing beyond the wall, and how clever idea of going there was.., either way, no matter how nonsensical plots were, and teleporting across Westeros, Dragonstone - King's Landing Fast Travel, Winterfell - Dragonstone Bullet Train/Concorde, at least it all had soul. Characters mattered, and we, the audience, cared about them, even dragons were characters with a soul, as we all remember how sad things went upon facing Night King's Air Defense..
House of the Dragon is, different to that, completely BLEAK, and while at least season 1 was solid/average, dull nothingness wrapped in low tier dialogue that took over season 2, pushed the show into a struggle for keeping itself just below mediocre..
