Heirs of the Dragon Blisstake | House of the Dragon Episode 1

"Her body is a factory that converts royal spunk into royal punks." Have you ever considered writing poetry?

"No grandma, you're not gonna see Khaleesi, go back to bed now" Shows Olenna drinking straight up poison

Aegon the conqueror foresaw the white walkers, and a united realm. Obviously this means that he knew his descendent Rhaegar would become the night king and would unite the seven kingdoms under his rule.

This is what we've missed: The reason why Arya survives being choked by the impossibly strong & skin freezing Night King is that she had Rhaenyra's Valyrian steel necklace surgically grafted under her skin.

Viserys I "May the luck of the Seven shine on all combatants!" Robert I "Start the damn joust before i piss meself!"

This feels like a different timeline where something went right

The whole prophecy thing being passed to each heir kinda makes what Viserys told Jorah about having a dynasty on his shoulders since he was 5 years old hold more weight.

One small change I've noticed: In GoT, Balerion's skull had a normal bone color but in HotD they changed it to black, which is a) book accurate and b) way cooler.

“Blisstake” made me happy made me smile

I love how Daemon shows up for the council meeting, then the moment they're done talking about him he just dips lol. He knew exactly how that meeting would go from the start and doesn't care whatsoever about the other issues of the realm (also highlighting why he was always unfit to be hand)

😂 “Matt Damon” 🤣🤣🤣 poor Matt Smith can’t catch a break. Being Daemon in the show and Matt in real life is taking its toll on these reviewers.

Something I think this show has over even season 2 or 3 of GOT is that it's SO colorful. Every scene you can tell the colors were picked intentionally, and they didn't just drop a layer of blue on everything. A lot of the time in GOT, especially in the back half, everybody just wore black and the colors were only there to tell you what team everyone was on.

"I'll definitely be combing through the new theme the moment I hear it" Aged like milk

Council of 101 really did feel epic. THAT is how a continent sized kingdom would need to settle a succession crisis peacefully. NOT the terrible (illogical & tiny scaled) finale council of GoT :,(

I really love Viserys brandishing Blackfyre as he confronts Daemon. It's like watching an accountant father brandishing a shotgun he's never fired to intimidate his daughter's boyfriend. Which... isn't that far off actually

thank you for calling Aemma's death a murder. I really enjoyed the framing of that scene as one in which Viserys is sorrowful but unambiguously denying his wife any agency and having her killed. The show does so well expressing the depth there; the framing shows that this is absolutely horrible, but in universe, Viserys is treated as a man making a hard choice, and the only characters with speaking roles are other men who ignore Aemma's begging. It's such a complex, terrifying scene, and it doesn't get enough recognition for pulling it all off!

“And like an annoying coworker, he starts rambling about a dream he had” this had me laughing out loud.

Holy shit your rendition of Toto's Africa is unironically really good LMFAO

I think that Daemon handing out lists of names to his commander’s before marching out into the city would’ve been a great way of showing that the “night of terror” was in fact organized and not some random brutalizing of the peasantry

Answer this, H8ers: If Game Of Thrones and Hot-D are different shows, then why is Viserys the best character in both? Thought so. 😎
