Focus the first season on the Targaryen's & Velaryon's fleeing the Old Valyrian Freehold, and The Doom unfolding. Show the settling of Dragonstone & Driftmark. Probably a lot of time jumps, but let the first season end with the birth of Aegon The Conqueror.

Maximum a flashback or a starting episode... then Right to Aegon having a dream and waking up, speaks with his sister wifes (which after having being safed by the dreams of Daenys take Aegon's dream seriously) and they all agree they have to conquer Westeros. Then, they begin the conquest. That would tied up with HoTD tv show as well.

The thing I called out was that earlier in that episode Daemon questioned how they were taking care of Viserys’ having him drugged out of his mind, in which Alicent said something along the lines of “we keep him on milk of the poppy to help with the pain and in doing so it causes him to ramble”. So if he was constantly drugged out and just said nonsensical things, why would him saying anything to imply Aegon should be on the Iron Throne be taking seriously? Like girl go prop ya feet up somewhere.

David lightbringer has an amazing series about the doom of Valeria and what happened to the Targaryens during and afterwards that would make for a great show. I hope they continue making more on screen stories from this interesting world GRRM has created.

it was also the blood magic that bonded her to the eggs. The Targaryens have a tradition of putting a dragon egg in the crib with a newborn, so Daenerys literally had 3 eggs with her. It's not always the case with dragonriders, as Leana Velaryon only gained Vhagar at 15, and Rheanyra actively looks for adult dragon riders for the old wild dragons

Harrenhal isn't necessarily cursed. It's just a castle that's far too large to be supported by the meager lands it controls. Harren the Black took tributes from the Iron Islands and the Riverlands. Immediately after the conquest, Harrenhal's lands were greatly diminished, making it comparable in tributes to Riverrun. During Maegor's reign, he diminished the lands further, giving parts of those lands to other lords loyal to him.

Fun fact: The inspiration behind "House of the Dragon" comes from an actual dynasty in real life. The dynasty was House of Drăculești and was a Romanian dynasty of Principality of Wallachia. The dynasty started with Vlad Dracul the father of more famous ruler Vlad the Impaler (Vlad Dracula, "son of the Dragon"). The family originated from House of Basarab the founders of Wallachia, in which the Principality is located in modern day Romania and currently the Capital is located in its region. The name Drăculești means Dragon as Dracul in Old Romanian language ment Dragon but now means Devil. It was generally believed that Vlad Dracul was part of the Order of the Dragon, a Christian Order ment to stop the expansion of the Ottoman Empire into Europe. But now due to a document, it mentions a certain Mihail who came to the court of Sigismund asking to become part of the order and he was Prince of Wallachia. Vlad Draculs oldest son and older brother of Vlad the Impaler whose name is Miahi was the one who founded the Dynasty of the Dragon (Drăculești). The name Drăcul-ești could be put this way, Drăcul in the sense of Dragon and ești is in Romanian and originates from Latin ēscō meaning in English "you're" which the name could be translated as "You're Dragon"

Eh, I feel like that would be really boring. It’s basically Aegon and his sister-wives show in Westeros and wreck everyone with their dragons. The only interesting thing that actually happened was Rhaenys and her dragon getting shot down in Dorne. Besides that, it’s a really straightforward and kind of boring story.

House Velarion and house Celtigar are both from Valyria as well. With the difference that they survive after Robert rebellion

Excited to see vermitheon vs vhagar

The Targaryens and Velaryons weren’t actually the only houses to survive. There was a third. House Celtigar was also from Old Valyria, although they were not highborn. The Celtigars were no more than peasants in Valyria, but when they fled to Westeros they landed on Claw Isle and became lords. Unlike the Velaryons, they never married members of House Targaryen, but they were commonly given seats on the Small Council, usually as Master of Coin. They also have a Valyrian steel axe.

Making Aegon and the dagger connected to "the long night" was a horrible decision

Seasons of TV used to be in the 20s lol.

After watching Game of Thrones, everyone thought that Rhaenyra wanted to seize the throne that originally belonged to men on a whim, but her inheriting the throne was just the result of Viserys' stubborness. She had no choice in the matter as long as Viserys said so and prepared her for it, so her defending her right was the logical thing to do after the greens stabbed her in the back. Had he named Aegon in her stead, they could have had a relationship at least a bit close to the relationship Jaehaerys had with his elder sister, Rhaena, even though at times she felt wronged by being passed over in the succession. Perhaps if Viserys named Aegon his heir, then his relationship with his older sister wouldn't have been so tense, and the greens wouldn't have conspired against her.

All I keep thinking was: Which Aegon? Considering that Rhaenyra and Daemon talked to him earlier and he met Aegon III and Viserys for the first time? What if that dream he kept talking about actually showed his grandson and he realized it, when he saw him for the first time? He was about to die. Maybe he didn't even realize, that he was talking to Alicent and not Rhaenyra.

@@superunknown2812 that's not really a fair comparison to make at this point in time. Game of thrones has 8 seasons of content to assess whereas house of the dragon has only one. Instead you should compare the first season of each series - in which house of the dragon really gives GOT a run for its money. While i wouldn't say its better than S1 of game of thrones, it comes extremely close, and is much better the the shit show that is season 6, 7, and 8 of GOT. The writing in HOTD is amazing and each character is very well written (just as GOT 1-4 was). If HOTD keeps this standard up through its whole duration it will be a really good comparison to make between the two shows.

Viserys died from a from of leprosy, according to his actor. Aerea Targaryen died of a horrible disease that seemed to resemble greyscale, the green fever and skin cancer. Balerion was heavily wounded from the flight by unknown forces. Anything that could wound the Black Dread is frightening enough.

I think one other thing was answered. Whether Tyrion is a Targeryan or not. They made an emphasis on birth complications when it comes to their kids and mixed with the hints given in game of thrones I felt that is probably true now and hope that comes into play in new Jon Snow spin off.

I have some concern that one of the two key figures who survives the Dance are not in the series... Wondering how they're going to swing that one in the series.

The answer to #9 was strictly scripted for the two TV shows (GoT and HotD) to tie into one another. "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, "Fire and Blood" as well as Martin's newest publication; "The Rise of the Dragon," do not state Aegons conquest came about because of the impending threat of the white walkers. In fact, the night King doesn't even exist in AsoIaF yet, he may never for all we know. George has also spoke recently about how the ending of GoT will be different than the novels as he has made some creative decisions writing the last two novels that steer away from how the TV series concluded. While I do think it was a clever way to validate each of the shows within the GoT world, I want people to understand that it does differ from the original source material.

Hope we will see The Mad King saga someday.

Prophecies aren't always 100% correct. As an example, during Viserys and Aemma's dialogue he told her he saw their son ascending the Iron Throne.

Just because Larys ordered their deaths it doesn’t mean harrenhal is not cursed. I always took it to mean that whoever held the seat would befall a terrible fate. You see this with Lord Strong, Larys, Janos slynt, Littlefinger etc

Vhagar counts as three dragons by herself.

I always figured the Dragons and their rider like a really bonded horse to their rider. Sure you have a close bond, even sense one another, but ultimately the horse is charge and will do whatever the hell it wants if it feels like it or gets scared or angry. Seeing the Dragons like that, just confirms it and makes it more realistic imho.

There were also dragon lords that escaped but they went to this summer vacation spot that the Valyrians conquered but then the locals jumped them.

Жыл бұрын

So, as I´m not in the matter entirely I´m not sure how precise my answers are going to be, but I´ll give it a try. If you're really interested, there are also yt videos to most of these questions. 1. the faceless men are seemingly simply assassins who worship death, and therefore believe that only life can pay for death? 2. Arya saved Jaqen Hghar earlier in the show and 2 other prisoners, so for saving these three lives, he offered to take 3 others. 4. If I recall correctly, Kinvara was simply one of the priestesses sent out to preach of the lord of light. 8. The Valyrians were known to mix species, resulting in hybrid forms, using blood magic, which is supposedly similar to today's genetic engineering. In order to create dragons, they mixed the naturally occurring wythers and wyrms (not sure if those two are spelled correctly), using said blood magic. They then proceeded to bind the valerian houses to the dragons using blood magic, resulting in them actually having dragon blood. This is also the reason why the Targaryans try to keep their bloodline as "pure" as possible, as intermarriage with non-valerian houses would "dilute" their blood, and weaken their bond to the dragons. 9. I don't think that the situation with the gods is ever entirely explained, but each of the ancient "races" has a connection to a certain type of magic, which they, later on, refer to as their gods. The Targaryans have their fire magic, and the lord of light, the north, descending from the first men have their animal possession and the old gods etc.

Can I just point out the stellar performance the actor of Joffrey (Jack Gleeson). There were times I forgot he was acting I hated him so much, played a spectacular villain character, and will probably go down as one of the “best” in terms of sheer hatred.

Nothing will ever beat the cast and dynamics or the original GoT series....seeing The Hound at the beginning of this video reminded me of that hard truth. Still, HoTD was great. Hopefully the Jon Snow spinoff series gets made.

I think its also because both Aemond and luc was unexperienced with dragon riding and probably didn’t even know about not fully controlling the dragon. Aemond doesn’t even have control over himself lol

Technically a Targaryen did unite the divided groups of men to defeat the others.
