  • I review, breakdown and explain House of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 1. I discuss the HBO show which is a spin off from Game of Thrones and the ending which was focussed on Blood and Cheese. I react to the rat catcher, Daemon secretly ordering the death of Jahaerys Targaryen, Aemond's rivalry with his brother, Lary's looking to cause issues with Ser Otto Hightower and what it means for Rhaenyra. I also give my theories and predictions on episode 2.

    Does anyone else think the Blood&Cheese scene could have been more dramatic? The book version sure was. Making Helena choose then doing the other one. The writers had it right there on a silver platter. Were they worried it would be too shocking or disturbing? I guess so. Darn shame. I didn't expect them to show a childs head being chopped off but the whole scene was way too watered down. There was almost no tension and zero shock. The tension in the book was from making Helena choose. The shock from when he killed the other one. This had none of that. I think people should be pissed but they want to like it so badly that they give it a pass. Then they go directly to Alicient and Cole doing it. Lame. It was terrible actually.

    I get people being disappointed in the ending because they feel they didn’t make the Queen choose, but she did. She on the first go around gave up the heir, they thought she was lying but wasn’t she now has to live with 1.) seeing a young boys head get cut off 2.) giving up her son. While I would have too liked something closer to the book version this was still a brutal scene

    • @victorpradha9946
      @victorpradha9946 9 днів тому +2

      I read it as she was, in the impossible position, thinking that they expected her to lie and thus would go after the other child, thus sparing Jaehaerys. It would have been rather savage of them to make her watch as they did it, and she instead took the other child and fled to the Queen only to find her shall we say giving Ser Crispen a royal "dress down".

    For the 2nd episode, I genuinely hope that when Daemon finds out about Blood and Cheese killing Jaehaerys instead of Aemond, he’d be completely fine with it if not expect it.
    Not only because it fits with ruthless devil may care attitude with him being satisfied with the head of ANY son of the Greens(as well as add tension with Rhaenyra) but as a seasoned warrior, even if Blood and Cheese do encounter Aemond, he probably knew those two don’t even stand a chance in a fight with him. So who else was the closest male Targaryen apart from the Aemond and Aegon, Jaehaerys.
    In regards, to the discourse defending Daemon ‘innocence and blaming D&C for the misunderstanding.
    This is Daemon Targaryen, the Rogue Prince, He clearly is not afraid to get and play dirty from pretending to surrender toward enemies to indiscriminately punishing (with NO TRIAL)presumed criminals by cutting of their parts. In modern times, he would be a war criminal. The only honorable trait he has is true loyalty to the Targaryen family, but even then only to his family.

I haven't read the books but isn't the house of the Dragon book meant to be a retelling of the targaryen civil through a peasants eyes from centurys afterwards or whatever so what actually happens in the show is what actually happens?

    I’m so disappointed….I didn’t need or want blood & gore. As crazy as it may sound that’s not the point of the scene. Yes it’s bloody & brutal but it’s the emotions of what is about to happen. The TENSION & FEAR…SOMETHING ANYTHING!! Helena’s actress is incredible & this would’ve been an amazing scene to just see her lose her shit. I was really looking forward to seeing her really give her all but she never got that chance. What a complete waste of a life altering traumatic event….instead we get Alicent riding Cole…..thanks for nothing HBO 🙄🙄🙄🙄
    Edit: oh yeah & dont think showing us 2 seconds of Aegon “playing in a great dad ! Look at me bringing my kid to work bc I really care about my kids!”

      Not in direct reply to OP, but I do sympathize with people who have read F&B and were expecting more for the screen b&c… wasn’t the major reason why Martin joined the show as a direct consultant was to avoid the gaffes made by D&D for GoT (s8) so logically these viewers are expecting not maybe necessarily a word for word, 1:1 adaptation but something that builds tension and dramatizes something to the max, which was books faithful and what made Got s1-4 (incl. RW) so good.. haven’t seen any HoD aside the YTs free screening of S1e1 so I can’t absolutely say much about b+c except based on the general complaints that it was underwhelming to some extent (I will give credit to Sapochnik and team for keeping the actual gore off screen… just the sounds is disgusting enough!
