House of the Dragon (Game of Thrones Prequel - HBO) TV Show • Page 115

Just stopping by to say I fucking hate that this show makes me care so goddamn much about CGI creatures lmao

And also (and sorry if this has been mentioned, I am about 75 pages behind since the season started) when Cole first wakes up, the face they show totally looks like Rickety Cricket to me lmao

 

Was actually curious too if the dagger would be hot enough to show some of it:

 

Craaaaazy episode. Aemond is one of my favorites. He’s such a great villain.

 

I forgot to mention how much they are nailing Alys Rivers. One of the coolest and most fascinating characters in this story, and they are killing it so far.

 

Lmao

 

Amazing. I don’t think any other take or meme or parody will top this for me for the rest of the series.

 

Love that we are getting all these cool Riverlands characters from the books, but I am sitting here waiting on Black Aly Blackwood and Sabitha Frey like

 

hopefully getting at least one of them next week if the previews are to be believed

 

Finding out the actor who is playing Alyn is a founder of a really cool game studio that just released a really cool Metroidvania wtf

 

He also played The Father android in Raised By Wolves, which In totally didn't realize until now.

 

now i can be one of the annoying book posters

Be surprised how small the Dance of the Dragon parts are in the book compared to the other portions (I think the events covered in this show are less than 200 pages out of 740). You could really make at 3 or 4 other series just based off the other parts of that book.

 

yeah i think the ringer's pod said the show was probably covering like 100 pages? this was hardcover instead of the paperback like I have but still

honestly I'm more just interested in the targs as a whole and the little I've heard about the blackfyres, which I have to imagine will be a show at some point

 

I’m about 146 pages in, very surprised by how many pages are dedicated to Jaehaerys. I think I still have like 150 pages until I’m at the show’s prologue.

 

Don't expect to see the Blackfyres in the book. That part of history will be covered in Fire & Blood part 2.

The upcoming A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms show should take place a decade or so after the 1st Blackfyre Rebellion after the Blackfyres were defeated and exiled. So while it won't be in the thick of it, the show is for sure going to talk about the Blackfyre stuff a lot, and they'll be kinda looming in the background < where there Blackfyres fit in lore spoiler

 

The Jaehaerys portion is my favorite. I think I have said in here before that could easily be a show in of itself and it would rule.

 

ah gotcha, thanks

 

Did HBO ever green light the Aegons Conquest show? Is that a fever dream I had

 

You made it up

 

It was confirmed last year by Variety, and as of February of this year the writer Mattson Tomlin said he was in the early process of writing the script.

 

Yeah the history of their rule is just filled with cool tidbits and world building and lore and etc. i think my favorite tidbit of the entire story happens during jaehaerys’s reign and involves Balerion, but I also love the Elissa Farman story which also happens during Jaehaerys’s reign
