      Daemon would never hurt his family in the books.. he probably wants to put some sense in her as she acts like her Father. Also Daemon is driven purely on emotion and the lost of his brother, daughter , kingdom and his wife backing off probably push him .. but again he would never do that in the books.. Also if Alicent didn't stop Otto , he would probably send someone to kill Rhaenyra ,so Daemon preparing for war is understandable..

    one of the parts of luc and aemond's final flight that I found extremely interesting was the continued contrast between how rhenyra and alicent raised their children...they show this through how luc and aemond each speak to their dragons when things go sideways, with luc speaking calmly in valerian the entire time and aemond starts yelling in the common tongue instead. this shows so much more than just Luc's death, it shows that luc and Jace have both been prepared, educated and trained much more and have taken it more seriously than aemond and daemon who essentially were ignored and left to their own devices in large part....very cool way to continue to show this contrast through such nuance....

      ​@@reeducated1281 It's a series dedicated on telling the story of the House of Targaryen. Game of Thrones had more characters and houses to explore that's what made it jam packed of excitement and rollercoaster of twists and turns.
      Game of Thrones is the blueprint for all the upcoming segue series of the different houses. So expect the writers to carry on the same tone, drama and doom and gloom.
      I'm also biased because my fave from GOT is House of Targaryen because of Daenarys and the dragons.
      I also love House of Starks but their story will probably only run for 3 seasons max.
      Dragons got me hooked on GOT. So long as GRRM keeps writing and HBO keeps producing, I'll be watching and rewatching every episodes.
      Although, I'm with the collective masses that HBO needs to make up for the disappointment of Season 8 of GOT. I mean, seriously???? I understand the budgetary constraints but damn that was a clusterfuck of a mess.
      I can sum up the Season 8 of GOT to someone squeezing lemons into an empty milk carton putting it back in the fridge and pranking someone with it lol. It definitely left me tart lol.

    I like the progression line they are choosing and what versions they take, even when not portrayed in the books. I.E. Aemond is such a more interesting character in the show vs the book because there is hesitation in his actions. Viserys isn't just some fat oaf who is too disinterested to rule or make decisions, he is more so a victim of conspiring agents. Rhaenyra at least for me, is finally shown in a more mature light, she isn't a child doing what she wants, she is thinking for others whereas before she did endanger her house with the recklessness of her actions. Daemon again shows how vicious he is even to his wife, it's why Aemond and him are so alike, they aren't wholly evil characters but there's enough anger/resentment in them that their actions are evil.
    I like how even though this season goes through a lot, there is character growth and you understand their emotions, their decisions, and how they reach this point of the story.

    I'm calling it now: Rhaena will ride Vermithor and will help avenge Lucerys death one way or another, directly or indirectly!!! Not in the book but I strongly feel that the show will go this route. Reasons: Aemond has now stolen two things very dear to Rhaena, her dragon and now her fiance... it's POETIC JUSTICE for her to help kill Aemond (Daemon will probably do it because that's what's written in the book but Rhaena will be a part of it).

      I agree. They made a point before that her egg didn't hatch. And that Vhagar was "stolen" from her. Whom Daemon would trust with a second largest dragon in the world if not his own daughter? This way he can be 100% sure, that the Vermithor's rider won't betray them.

    Aemond was terrified with Luke's death, not because of remorse, but because he drew the first blood in this civil war, as well as being a kinslayer. In the eyes of superstitious Westeros society, this made the greens the wrong side of the civil war, meaning the greens are thus destined to lose the war, which they do.

    Poor little Arrax.... he was just a scared, innocent baby dragon trying to puff himself up to look big because he was being chased by someone 4x his size. Granny Vhagar didn't have to take it so personally. The rest of this show is going to be hard. I care far more about the dragons than any of the characters, although Luke and Jace seem like really good kids (unlike Alicant's).
    Rhaenyra didn't do her job to prepare Lucerys adequately. In fact, she shouldn't have sent him at all. If she ever learned to read a room she'd remember how she snubbed House Baratheon during her marriage tour, along with every one of its vassal lords, and she'd have known to show up with some humility and a good offer to make peace before issuing demands. Luke was set up for failure from the moment he left.
    Rhaenyra's whole problem is that she didn't bother doing the work of preparing to inherit the throne. From the second she was named, she should have been currying favor from the lords of all the houses, knowing she would have to work twice as hard to have their support once Viserys died. She should have been building relationships with her subjects, and knowing about her sons, trotting them out in front of the subjects at every opportunity to get the people to love them and see them as the heirs.
    At the very least, she could have been gracious to her hosts on the marriage tour and offered the various vassal lords a way to save face when she turned them down. Then when the time came for her to defend her claim, they'd remember her as having treated them well. She could also have been way more involved in the running of the kingdom, in a public way, so as to have the peoples' confidence in her rule. Knowing that her claim broke with centuries of tradition and that she had bastard sons, it's common sense that she would have to get to work in advance ingratiating herself to the people whose support she would need. Instead Rhaenyra spent her entire adolescence pouting around the castle, frittering her time away on idle pursuits and taking her inheritance for granted, while it was obvious for years that her dad could literally die any day. And leaving for Dragonstone, while it may have been more comfortable, cost her years of opportunity to build necessary relationships for the future and protect herself. The cost to everyone is that a kid the whole of Blackwater Bay knows is a psychopath has now been installed to rule over them.

    But two heads
    To a third sing
    From my voice
    The fires have spoken
    And the price has been paid

    With words of flame
    With clear eyes
    To bind the three
    To you I sing

    Why wasn't Otto taken hostage? There's lots they could have extracted from him. Every rope of mercy the blacks extended was an opportunity for the greens to cause chaos. The greens are basically a paranoid mother, her ambitious father and two unhinged brothers. Rhaeynera has more dragons with way more experienced dragon riders. She has a ruthless consort who's a capable warrior. She has a superior navy with a formidable commander. Also if Daemon could sneak two murderers into the keep, why not go further than that? Couldn't they have snuck in an army of formidable knights to rid them of the guards? Then took control of the keep from within before the greens had a chance to strike back?

There is also the fact that killing a messenger gives you a very bad reputation, and in this case it was a royal messenger and there were plenty of witnesses at Storms End to prove who was the one trying to start a fight.

    Ep 10 was another good one (ep 9 was a bit blah for me), although if I never see another HotD birthing scene, I won't cry myself to sleep. I did, however, shed a tear over the demise of poor Luke and Arrax, and I was on the edge of my seat when Luke landed and I saw Vhagar lurking in the background, I almost wanted to stop watching because I couldn't bear what was going to happen. The emotion and tension I felt took me by surprise because I didn't realise I was quite that invested - so props to all involved for creating such an engrossing episode.
    All in all a terrific 1st season, with only a couple of meh instalments. I did prefer the earlier part of the season with Milly and Emily, but the standout episodes for me were Ep 4 with all the sizzling chemistry b/w Milly-Matt & Milly-Fabien, and of course Ep 8 with Paddy's astonishing perfomance as the (intially) half-dead and then (eventually) fully-dead Viserys. Two thumbs up!

    Vhagar looked so tamed and vell behaved with Laena, so I thought a bit of dragonfire in the face shouldnt anger a dragon of his age... but jeez was i wrong. It could be Aemond's influence over the dragon but still felt very uncanny.
    Everyone in the Storm's End knows Luke wasnt trying to fight and Aemond was the one looking for it, so i wonder what will happen in King's Landing, especially Alicent's reaction. Rhaenyra is not a child murderer, that's why either Daemon will move without her consent/knowledge OR it'll be that creepy Larys to stir up some shyt and put the blame on the Blacks.
