it also depends on how strong the blood magic in the world currently is, 1st generation dragons grow bigger and faster than 2nd generation dragons, same goes with 2nd gen to 3rd gen, Balerion and Vhagar have only grown so big cuz they were 1st gen of after the doom of Valyria with the doom of Valyria the practice of blood magic ended so over the generation the magic fades so do the dragons, the last born dragon of the last generation only grew as big as a house cat.

not completely right about the page lizard guy gave her. I assume he thinks that the queen is around the age to be her mother, so when she was a child it was like a mother reading a story to her.

@@GiubileiFernando There is no one named Darmon. If you mean Daemon, Rhaenys is his cousin. The king before Viserys was Jaehaerys, who married his sister Alyssane and had a lot of children but outlived almost all of them. (One of his daughters outlived him, but she had run off to become a prostitute in Essos rather than letting him force her to swear vows of chastity and become a septa, basically a nun, after discovering that she had been sleeping around with a lot of boys. He also had one living son, Vaegon, an Archmaester of Mathematics at the Citadel. He had no interest in ruling and would never produce heirs of his own, as swore vows of celibacy upon becoming a maester and was an asexual aromantic anyway.) Jaehaerys's eldest son was Aemon Targaryen, who married Jocelyn Baratheon. (Jocelyn was Jaehaery's half-sister, as his mother Alyssa Velaryon remarried Robar Baratheon after King Aenys I died. Alyssa died in an emergency c-section to deliver Jocelyn.) Rhaenys is the only child of Aemon Targaryen. (In the book she is not blond, as she inherited dark hair from the Baratheon side of her family. She started greying early though and had mostly silvery hair by the time of this episode.) When Aemon died Jaehaerys chose to name his second son Baelon Targaryen as his heir instead of her. Baelon Targaryen married his full sister Alyssa Targaryen. They had two children together: Viserys and Daemon. After Baelon died, Jaehaerys called a great council of lords from all over the seven kingdoms and allowed them to vote on who his next heir should be. (In the book it is implied that he did this to avoid another major argument with his wife Alyssane, who was very upset when he favored Baelon over Rhaenys. The book also implied though that the council may have been the idea of his third son Archmaester Vaegon Targaryen, whom the show seems to have cut entirely.) In the show the council dismissed most candidates quickly and then votes 20 to 1 to elect Viserys instead of his cousin Rhaenys, but in the book they actually dismiss Rhaenys in an earlier round as chose the 24 year old Viserys over Rhaenys's 7 year old son Laenor.

I love when you see the big dragon (Vhagar) at Storm’s End and say “he sees another dragon…is that…what that is?” It’s so much bigger than anything you will have seen, it really is a good question! This really tickled me! Brings back memories of when you did this for GoT. Great job!

Smirky, Little Boy, blonde heir.....your names for everyone was killing me LOL

"These boys look nothing like her!" Congratulation, you discovered the plot, essentially. Also we found Greens fan.

When he called Jace “sharp jaw”, I got excited for him to see Aemond “sharper jaw” xD

And I love how the difference between the Targaryens and Lannisters is the length of their hair. “Short hair queen, remember her?” This was great. Very entertaining!

This was hilarious! I’m so shocked you caught on to the uncle-niece incest and that the “tall haired lady” was Daemon’s cousin. You got everything right besides the parentage of the two girls. Impressive!

You got a lot right. Lannisters and Starks still show up, but they're secondary characters. Another thing is Aegon who was crowned is the brother of blonde heir (same dad, different mom), but the Greens made him king cuz he's a dude and blonde heir is not. Nailed the part with the page (blonde heir and the mom of Aegon were BFFs once).

I guess it's a testament to how well the show is written that you can still make sense of the plot mostly fine. You got way more correct than I thought you would, even your family tree was pretty on point.

This is the funniest HOTD review I've ever seen. Pleaseee do more😂😭

I'm generally impressed with how you guessed the family tree. Aside from aegon being matt smiths brother and the father of rhaenyra's brown hair kids ( which is forgivable as you haven't seen the house he's from yet) you were pretty much spot on.

So happy to see this series return! You're amazing, Steve.

It's a testament to how cleanly the story flows that you got so much accurate without knowing any of the background.

Omg you’re back! I loved this, would definitely be excited to watch more if you continued to do the rest of the season

"Also Matt Smith is here and he looks ridiculous" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm dying

STEVE!!!!!! You're back!!! Please watch the whole season & do what you do!!!! I'm cracking up!

You had a surprisingly accurate analysis of the episode. Great job!

The reason it's only really following the dragon family (targaryens) is because at the time of this show they're in total control over all the other families basically and have been for a few hundred years thanks to their dragons, nobody else has any. This civil war that's about to start is apparently what weakens them enough that the stark/baratheon rebellion is able to win and overthrow them just before game of thrones season 1 starts And that's why there's so many relevant families to follow in game of thrones compared to this because nobody has total power any more at that point
