Spoilers Game Of Thrones’ Spinoff ‘House Of The Dragons’ ordered to series

  • Thread starter Enterprise is Great
  • Start date
They're not something directly mentioned in the books from what I can find online, they were created for the show. The dragon Dreamfyre and and the Targaryens ruling Harrenhal are from existing lore though.

A reddit post talking about it, it includes spoilers from stories set after where we currently are.

I wondered if their existence was created for the show but good to know Dreamfyre wasn't.

I'm not going to read the reddit post because Alys is one of the few interesting things about the show and I don't want to spoil myslef there. However, I'll see if I can research Dreamfyre without spoiling myself.

Could those eggs end up making their way to Daenerys someday? Or three of them anyway?
Weren't her eggs found in Valyria or somewhere else in Essos?

Yes. But they had to come from somewhere. I don't know
 
Delighted they don't have a budget for loads of battles.
The best seasons of Game of Thrones had no battles at all due to budget. Way better than over rated fan service stuff like Battle of the Bastards.
It's not really wanting more battles, but the feeling that the show is spinning its wheels a bit because they know they can't get to the next big event (the battle at Tumbleton...not a spoiler, it's pretty obvious what's coming) until episode 8 because they aren't budgeted to get to it earlier.

I haven't read the books, but get where you're coming from.

Perhaps a 6 or 8-episode format might have been a better format for HoTD?

Plenty of tight, solid British dramas clock in at 6 episodes / season.

Anyway, I'm still enjoying the show. The pacing is a bit funny, though. I felt like they floored it episodes 1-3, and now as you say, we're spinning the wheels for the next major bust-up.

I don't see any of whats happening as wheel spinning. Things are happening people, we are learning about people and it's mostly interesting or fun.
 
I like the rather strange dynamic between Gwayne, Ormund and Daeron. Gwayne want to protect Daeron. Ormund wants to use Daeron. Daeron justs wants to see his mother. I can see where all this is heading to.

Jon Roxton is a solid right hand man. The Greens are still in the game thanks to him.
 
Ormund's spies in King's Landing may have seen Uff being slapped around by Daemon and informed their master about it. After that it is just a matter of finding out when it was Uff's turn to keep a watch over Tumbleton and then reaching out to him when he landed for a break.

Mad Respect to Lord Tyland for remaining at Aegon's side and preparing to accept whatever fate that awaited them.

Ser Larys Strong just looks after himself, i guess.

I see that Rhaenyra has a habit of cheating on her husbands whenever she feels unhappy with them..

I saw an interesting and thought-provoking comment about the series in the latest AV Club episode review... so I felt compelled to make an equally meditative, scholarly reply: :p

Book and show Spoilers
From what I understand, Sunfyre was never presumed dead in the books just badly injured, Criston Cole kept men near by to protect the injured dragon as Aegon was sent home. They are eventually reunited, but not like in the show.

What they did with him in the show does make it more dramatic.

Last couple episodes I was wondering why he looked so damn familiar. He played a character in Andor.

I never thought we were supposed to root for any of them.

3.7 - Good episode. Aegon's speech and Sunfyre finally waking up was a great moment, and that shot of them with their burned faces mirroring each other. Tyland is up there with Gwayne as being one of the very few honourable characters (even though he's loyal to a monster.)

Of course beer would be the key in turning Ulf to the other side! Rhaenyra and Daemon really have no one to blame but themselves.

Poor Sheepstealer has no friends.

Alys just saying "idiot" after Aemond was poisoned was very funny. It will really strain credibility if Alicent manages to get back to King's Landing all by herself by next episode.
 
I loved the dragon battle...but I wept for poor Rhaena. Not just because she's now at the mercy of Rhaenyra, but also because of her connection to Sheepkiller must've been painful. I can't help but wonder if Daemon foolishly spared Sheepkiller. I would've thought Rhaenyra would demand Sheepkiller's skull but I guess she learned her lesson (or not).

Sadly, we've reached the conclusion of the Mad Adventures of Larys and Aegon: Arya & the Hound Redux. But kudos to Tyland for sticking with Aegon without knowing Sunfyre would show up.

I keep meaning to mention this but I realized a few episodes ago that Matthew Needham (Larys) reminds me a lot of Ben Whishaw in the manner of his speech and facial mannerisms. They look nothing alike but their style of acting is quite similar. That's probably why I've been so drawn to Larys despite being a slippery eel.

Honestly, I'm shocked it took them this long to become lovers.

She's clearly a witch. I've lost count the number of times she has magically traveled great distances between episodes while others continue to wander. It's all quite silly. :lol:

I just got very excited and then down in quick succession. I thought that was Shakespeare's Globe they were standing outside not the Royal Shakespeare in Warwickshire.

Gonna have to wait a while longer to see this so.
 
"Fuck you too" - Ulf the White

Damn. :lol:

I went into S3 with lowered expectations after the mixed bag that was S2. Aside from a few hiccups though, I enjoyed it thoroughly.
