Summary House of the Dragon season 2's biggest mistake was ignoring a rule that was present throughout most of Game of Thrones. By the time of House of the Dragon season 2's ending, the reception from fans and critics alike was notably mixed.
Although the criticism that "nothing happened" in House of the Dragon season 2 does not hold too much weight, having two more episodes after the season finale would undoubtedly have led to further progression of the show's overall story. The finale especially felt like a lot of set-ups with no payoff, which could have been avoided by having the teased Battle of the Gullet in House of the Dragon season 2, episode 9.
If this had been the case, the set-up found in earlier episodes would have felt warranted, raising even more anticipation for season 3 as opposed to the frustrating wait fans now face. Rather than have a season's worth of build-up culminating in nothing, the Battle of the Gullet would have continued Game of Thrones' episode 9 "rule" in perfect fashion, allowing episode 10 to tease what is to come in season 3.
