HOUSE OF THE DRAGON

Extended trainer here:

I am so excited for this!!! Anyone else???!!!

HOTD will be premiering on the 21st Aug (22nd Aug for U.K.)

What's the context for why she wanted to ?

It airs at 2am and it will be on playback just after 3am.

Because Jacerys accidentally took out Aemond’s eye in a fight.

Just watching it now! 😱

They do cover why Rhaenys didn’t roast them all.

Just finished watching it 😱 just shows how accidental events can have catastrophic consequences ☹️

Thought it was a great episode with all the people shuffling into position, Daemon showing his true nature and Emma D'arcy acting was just fantastic.

One question, how did Arryk/Erryk (not sure which one) get the crown??

Just watching it now-should those of us who've watched it give a trigger warning for the earlier scenes or is it classed as a spoiler?

I don't know - not sure how you could possibly put a trigger warning without spoiling. I suppose if you are watching it, you expect it to push the boundaries of what it shows but it is definitely on the edge 😔

Don't think this is a spoiler as such but just read on DS that if ever there was a facial expression of 'oh shit' that was it - and that sums it up for me. So well portrayed by the actor (being suitably vague 😉)

Great episode! I think we can be sure that a second season will follow. The second season is going to be very gritty!

Just finished watching it 😱 just shows how accidental events can have catastrophic consequences ☹️

Yes, I thought the same. Misunderstandings seem to happen a lot.

We last saw Alicent putting the crown on Viserys’ wrapped body. Aegon was crowned with a different crown. I’m not sure how he swiped it but as a member of the King’s Guard I don’t think it would have been difficult.

Did she answer Otto? That’s what I was confused about. Did Otto already leave before Luke left for Storm’s End?

Ah I assumed that Aegon was crowned with the same crown - makes a bit more sense then.

As for Otto - did all the subsequent events happen between his visit and the next day? I assumed so and her answer is fairly clear what it will be.

Also, I thought it was interesting that Daemon didn’t know about the song of ice and fire. It confirms that Alicent also probably didn’t know about it and also explains why Viserys was reluctant to change his mind about Rhaenyra being his heir, if she was the only one he told about it. I thought it explained it well.

OMG, OMG, I had no idea dragons could be such different sizes.

The stillbirth was so sad & now another child 😢.

Really liked Rhaenys & the Queen (can't spell her name ) relationship in this episode

Aegon should never have chased them though

No I know he shouldn't (wasn't it Aemond, not Aegon) but he clearly wasn't intending on doing what his dragon did, just wanted to shit him up a bit I assume, not cause the war to start 🤦‍♀️ Just shows dragons cannot be fully controlled doesn't it?

sorry i get so confused by the names!

good point re control. I guess because of his behaviour in the hall with witnesses no one will believe it was an accident. Did J get eaten or fall off?

Yes, it was Aemond. I think he looks much older than Aegon even though he is actually younger than the actor playing Aegon in real life in real life.

I think he may have got eaten judging by the rags of clothing left behind?

Shireen. Always the wise voice of reason.

It was Lucerys btw not Jacaerys who was killed.

I have never forgiven GOT for what they did to lovely Shireen.

I think he may have got eaten judging by the rags of clothing left behind?

that's what i thought

@ClaudineClare fuck i really am shit with the names!
