Game of Thrones - House of the Dragon Spoilers Thread

[Tasha And]

I agree with you for the most part but I think there should have been more tact than just intimidation. The Greens obviously have dragons too.

Oh I agree. They fukked up by assuming Borros would be friendly to them based solely on his relation to Rhaneys, and because his father Boremund was friendly with Rhaenyra. They could have sent Rhaenys with Luke and have her treat with her cousin. But they calculated that it was more important to close off the gullet immediately with Rhaenys to control the seas and ports of King's Landing before Aegon could mount any counter measures. It was a misjudgment.

But they def should have had something more to offer Borros. But this is true in both the book and the show, and shows that the greens were more politically savvy since they came with offers and deals. But Luke being 14 isn't the problem. We're going to literally see lords in the war that are his age (Bloody Ben Blackwood.)

if they do a rhoynar show starting right when Nymeria and her people have to dip would be a HUGE mistake.

You gotta show the Rhoynar shooting dragons out the sky with river magic man. You can't not show that. The entire first season shoul be focused on Nymeria and the other Prince's fighting a war with the encroaching valyrians, and then the end of the season is when she is forced to flee.

I forgot about Nymeria..

A show about her and or a show involving the Starks(The Long Night) will print fukking money.

Seeing how involved GRRM seem to be with the shows and given the fact that he won't finish the books, I think TV will be when we explore the age of heroes, long night etc.

Can't fukking wait.

Honestly fukk the long night. I’m so sick of white walkers. They were the worst part of the original show in my opinion. Zombies are so goddamn boring.

The man dug up a dead body from the ocean and plucked both eyeballs out to give to his wife. He’s not a sympathetic figure, he’s a sociopath. Somehow worse than his counterpart Daemon

Thats mushrooms account and you cant believe a thing he says lol

George has no interest in exploring the Long Night/Age of Heroes. He prefers for stuff like that to remain myth and legend.

A couple weeks behind, but still a good wrap up

Not gonna post this in the official thread, will probably be shot down for having "spoilers"

You wouldn't even know Rhae and Aegon/Aemond are sibling. They have no dialogue together. Even before that...Laenor had no dialogue scenes with his sister, whose death later became a plot point. Rhae had two scenes with Harwin Strong, and barely 5 lines of dialogue, before it was revealed they were lovers after the time jump. Even with Erryk and Arryk last week...they couldn't have had a scene 3-4 eps ago of someone (Viserys/Alicent/Rhae/etc) saying "you guys are twins?" Maybe a scene of them training with Cole and Aemond?

I watched a bit of GoT S1 and the difference in quality of storytelling is stark. I've had nice things to say about HOTD, it's a good show and reminds me of the early GoT seasons...but on a pure storytelling perspective they dropped the ball about 10 times this season on big things. The exhaustive amount of "two people talking" scenes in the early eps, typically focused on Viserys and Rhae, hurt the development of a lot of characters.

I also think the show is being too faithful to the books. If you can't even give characters some brief scenes, why include them in the show? Martin is out here saying that Daeron Targaryen will be in S2. Why? Surely audiences are going to scoff when someone says "oh btw Queen Alicent remember your youngest child, who you haven't mentioned at all and there's been no reference to? Yes him. He'll be coming into town next week." LOL. They need to get back to the GoT practice of mixing characters together to save space and focus on more important stuff.

A couple youtubers have pointed out the opening credits shows viserys/alicent line having 4 bloodstreams, that's been the only indicator of dareon...plus the creators acknowledging him

I think It's fine. He's sent to oldtown 2 years before viserys dies, and the important part of his story takes place down at the reach. I expect him to be around for at least 2 seasons
