After 10 increasingly dramatic episodes, House of the Dragon<\/a>\u2018s debut season has come to a close with an especially brutal finale.<\/p>\n Throughout its run, the series hasn\u2019t shied away from violence and brutality and this was evident once again in the closing instalment \u2013 with one scene in particular proving controversial among viewers.<\/p>\n The moment in question was yet another traumatic birth scene \u2013 bringing the show full circle from its debut episode when Queen Aemma (Sian Brooke) died in childbirth after being forced to undergo a C-section.<\/p>\n This time around it was Rhaenyra who suffered a distressing birth, going into labour prematurely before delivering a stillborn baby.<\/p> In between these two aforementioned instances, there have also been a couple of other difficult births on the show \u2013 and some viewers have taken to social media to criticise the recurring trope.<\/p>\n \u201cOne thing this show will always do is show you an unnecessarily graphic birth scene,\u201d one Twitter<\/a> user wrote, with another<\/a> adding that they were \u201cverrrry much over all these traumatic birth scenes\u201d.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a third fan wrote: \u201cMy only complaint \u2013 and it\u2019s not even a complaint, just a personal ick \u2013 is that I never need to see another birth scene on TV ever again. I\u2019m 10000% done seeing people give birth, thanks very much.\u201d<\/p>\n My only complaint – and it’s not even a complaint, just a personal ick – is that I never need to see another birth scene on TV ever again. I’m 10000% done seeing people give birth, thanks very much.#HotD<\/a>#HouseOfTheDragon<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Black Abby Blackwood – ????HotD Spoilers????
