tv show House of the Dragon | Season 2 | Episode 2: 'Rhaenyra the Cruel' | GoT Prequel

[Venom]

Is anybody else still holding onto hope that this show somehow resurrects Daenerys?

 

I know it's probably impossible but I'm still hoping that this series has a scene like:

 

one of the characters, specifically Rhaenyra, being the one to discover that "The Prince That Was Promised" is actually referring to a Princess. She keeps it to herself as she's just content knowing it was about a female Targaryen all along. 

 

If this was the finale, it would flash forward years and years into the future where a dragon arrives to Asshai, and along with him, the body of a dead Targaryen princess. We see a couple of magical men and women come out to see who it is and once they do, they look at each other knowingly as if they know what they have to do next.

 

*black screen*

 

Daenerys will return

 

I haven't read the books so please don't come for me if this sounds absurd. I'm just fantasizing

i don't think so. I think they are trying to leave the prophecy vague enough so they can link it with the original ending and probably an alternate ending once GRRM finishes the book. BUT i think that Jon Snow show is probably going to fit into it too and try to fix that.

 

I only see Emilia Clark coming back with this character for an animated adaptation of Winds of Winter and A dream of Spring because she said she's done with Daenerys.

Fair enough.

 

I didn’t know Emilia Clarke said that about Daenerys though. Ouch. 
 

But understandable.

I am curious as to how explicit they will be with laenor's sexuality. They haven't made any hints yet right?

I think Joffrey Lonmouth, Laenor's lover, was present in the third episode but they didn't hint anything among them. He will appear in the wedding, tho

that is the episode that REALLY got me into the series. The first season is all talk and talk with some shocking moments. The action starts with Blackwater and it gets crazier with each season

just watched "The Rains of Castamere" 

[Ampersand13]

I really liked last week's episode (just got around to watching it)!

 

Made me love Rhaenyra even more

HBO’s House of the Dragon didn’t make Nielsen’s streaming rankings for the week of Aug. 15-21 — but only because it was available for just a few hours before the weekly tally ended.

 

According to Nielsen, the Game of Thrones prequel racked up 327 million minutes of viewing time on HBO Max in the few hours after its 9 p.m. ET premiere on Aug. 21. The streaming rankings measure viewing from Monday to Sunday, but even with that short a window, House of the Dragon nearly cracked the top 10 for the entire week: The No. 10 acquired series for Aug. 15-21 was the Canadian drama Heartland at 422 million minutes of viewing time.

 

(In future charts, House of the Dragon will be part of the acquired series rankings since Nielsen counts the show’s airing on the HBO cable channel as its first run.)

 

The series premiere has a 65-minute running time, which translates to an average of about 5.03 million viewers — more than twice as many as watched the show’s initial airing on the linear channel and half of the nearly 10 million viewers HBO claimed for the show’s opening night (it also had several on-air replays).

 

Game of Thrones also improved week to week in the lead-up to House of the Dragon, rising by 30 percent 559 million minutes of watch time.

New promotional video on Snapchat showing some things that are to come in the season. 

Viserys serving Baldwin IV from Kingdom of Heaven with the mask, I wonder how far the rot has spread. Our first glimpse at young Aegon II as well.

The one at the start is Caraxes, there is another promo with Vhagar as well I think.

Caraxes, really? I thought it looks like Drogon's/Seasmokes's breed at first. But now that you say it. The tail really looks like Caraxas.
