Yeah that was the best part of Nettles, but honestly what would be the point of doing It like that? Rhaena already has valyrian blood.
They cut her off because of GRRM asking them, I am pretty sure. Nettles taming a dragon with no valyrian blood tells too much about the upcoming books.

This decision is so stupid. Nettles was the only one that challenged the notion of so called targaryen supremacy and her relationship with daemon is one of the catalysts to rhaenyra losing her bearings. The writers for this show refuse to let rhaenyra do anything unlikable at all

[@user-ju8jb7tk5x]

I don't agree, Nettles challenge in the end didn't mean anything to anyone.Her claiming dragon didn't change people's perspective to the point that nobody remembers her in the war even after Daemon and Rhaenyra.Looking Daemon's time in Harrenhall makes absolutely sense to me that Nettles never had absolutely no power what Daemon's decisions will be, which is so Daemon thing.I never believed that someone could influence his decision facing Aemond himself.In his core it's always his relationship with Viserys and Rhaenyra that makes him to take an action not some peasant girl he knows for couple of months and decides that he will protect her from the bad queen who decides to punish people who betray her.True or not true having relationship with consort of monarch is treason and the punishment is death penalty.Period.

[@jdexcalibur1989]

Go back to what was said about the book fire and blood.... written by meisters and accounts from a court Fool. Nothing in Fire and blood is purely accurate. the narratives are form 3 sources who were never there when it happened. So nettles not being in the show is understandable.

[@jordanshepard8919]

I get George's dismay, and as much as I love Fire & Blood, I think merging Nettles and Rhaena for the show was the smart choice.

[@Schali]

But I hoped Nettles would save Daemon in the show, since she survived. In the Vale, she was seen again on the dragon and in the books, Daemon's body is never found. In GOT, there are the Brandlings in the Vale who tell of an old tradition of being burned. Supposedly, when this tradition began, there was a black witch in the mountains. Fan speculation believed that this could have been the surviving Nettles and Sheepstealer. This book story gave me hope for artistic freedom in the show to save Daemond.

[@vieweronthewall137]

Rhaenyra already has Syrax, Daemon’s Caraxes, Baela’s Moondancer, Jacaerys’ Vermax, Joffrey’s Tyraxes and Aegon’s Stormcloud. Now she will also get Rhaena’s Sheepstealer, Addam’s Seasmoke, Hugh’s Vermithor and Ulf’s Silverwing. What are they waiting for to attack? Green’s really have only 1 dragon, Vhagar.

[@enfieldlammergeier]

The fact that GRRM is pissed that Nettles was cut and hasn’t said anything about the shitty GOT seasons speaks a lot about her possible importance and relevance to GOT lore.
She’s a common girl who managed to tame a dragon despite possibly not even being related to Targaryens. I get the feeling this plot point might be relevant to what will happen with some of Dany’s dragons later down the line.

[@Josephofthejoestar]

Ok so nettles and morning wont exist in the show???
Nettles was the catalyst of daemon essentially divorcing himself out of rhaneyra cause and the desire for the throne and moreover, Morning, rhaena's real dragon was one of the 4 surviving dragons in the ASOIAF including silverwing, cannibal, sheepstealer. According to the estimates, morning STILL lived during the era of GOT meaning she was supposedly the oldest dragon.

Nah, I get it. Nettles is an extra character in the books who's only significance in the plot is that she got Sheepstealer and was later on Daemon's lover - and is then forced to flee once Rhaenyra orders her arrested for it. I think she's the weakest part of the Dragonseeds storyline and she really loses any significance after Daemon at the God's Eye. I don't mind the change as they'd have to set aside time for her character and it's already gotten to a point that the show has just enough for the other characters. Rhaena's right there and doing nothing - giving her a portion of Nettles' Dragonseed story is a good change and gives her more plot significance in the show.

Tbh Rhaena isnt fit to replace Nettles. Rhaena is a graceful noble lady , her characteristics doesnt lead her claiming a dragon as wild as Sheepsteeler. Nettles on the other hand is a commoner and that though with unknown parentage and ancestry. She was a wild & bold girl and was brave enough to regularly feed a wild dragon .

WHEN THE BETRAYERS HAPPEN RHAENYRA WILL ORDER THE ARREST OF RHAENA IN REVENGE TO WHAT HAPPEN TO AEGON & VISERY AND DAEMON WILL DISOBEY IT & SENT AWAY RHAENA WHILE HE WILL CHALLENGE AEMOND YOU SEE THIS SCENARIO THIS WILL BE HIGHLY POSSIBLE TO HAPPEN.

[@shaunnarichards2716]

I really hope Rhaena doesn't take up Nettles entire storyline and start up an affair with Daemon, I know she's supposed to be his bastard daughter in the books and Targaryens do the whole incest thing but I dont think I can stomach an actual father and daughter affair. Kind of disappointing because Daemon's affair with Nettles was a large plot point that really pissed off Rhaenyra and drove her mad along with the other dragon seed betrayals.

[@newdilemma8577]

She can’t make team black look bad . She would probably just have a father and daughter relationship

[@martynmr]

Hope at least they make rhaenyra angry with her for leaving her sons alone in the travel to pentos

[@levivanderveen4671]

Respectfully that one GRRM complaint makes 0 sense. I reckon the reasons they dont roam far from dragonstone (that makes sense at least) is that it has the caves they prefer to roost in, and the sea as their feeding area. Sheepstealer has a massive mountain region (possibly with caves) and his preferred food.
IK dragons in GOT are magical, but they've always been explicitly bestial, You cant emphasize their bestiality and then complain when they behave like animals, it feels

[@Oflgpatxa]

I agree his complaint here is very dumb.
You cannot make dragons as voracious as they are, grow to the sizes they do, having them all concentrated in a very narrow geographical area (one in which massive war veteran granma Vhagar is too) and say something as stupid as noooo they don't roam far for food.
Unless your lore includes a magical infinite re-spawn rate for sheep and other cattle in the Crownlands and Dragonstone.
I could understand tamed dragons would not FREQUENTLY roam too far from their riders, but wild dragons? And if there is a shortage of cattle which war, blockade and the presence of a decent number of big predators in a reduced area is almost certain to ensure, then all bets are off. Big predators need a lot of prey.

[@TheJunierBug]

Well they can always say sheepstealer followed Rhaena to the veil from dragon stone. Wanting to be claimed by her 🤷‍♀️

[@user-ty3lt5sf4w]

no they cant? sheepstealer is a WILD dragon. he didnt even want to be claimed by nettles but she put in the work and won his trust.
and btw dragons are the ones who chose their riders. if he wanted her to claim him then he would have pulled a seasmoke and chased her down.

[@peterelidyrx]

This is just soooooo stupid.
Rhaena not having a dragon just yet will soon come full circle once her dragon egg hatches and grow as "Morning" the last known Targaryen dragon.
Nettles also plays a big part in harnessing Rhae's rage and demise, as Nettles supposed relationship with Daemon would drive Rhaenyra crazy towards the end.
I could forgive the changes that they made last season, and these pas episodes but NOT THIS ONE!!!!
Dumb dumb dumb dumb!
Nettles and Sheepstealer are supposed to RUN AWAY!!! HOW THE HELL WOULD THAT HAPPEN IF RHAENA'S THE ONE WHO WILL BE CLAIMING SHEEPSTEALER??! And their sudden disappearance was one of the book's mystery
Rhaena can't run away with sheepstealer because she'll soon come back in king's landing while riding HER OWN DRAGON, MORNING. They can't change this part, so what will happen to sheepstealer?
Idk mann. I hope this is just a false theory and doesn't actually happen. The bond that Nettles and Sheepstealer is one of my favorite, because of it's odd yet pure nature. And her claiming the beast despite not being "allegedly" a Targaryen or a Valyrian descendent was one of my fav mysteries from the books. Was is just because of her genuine love and care for tye dragon? Or was it because she hails from a distant valyrian family that somehow manage to survive the doom.
I hope Rhaena will just ATTEMPT to claim Sheepstealer but fails to do so, and Nettles' character comes in. That will make perfect sense more over this fuckery.

because the show is a blatant black propaganda made by rhaenyra simps. They erase every single thing that makes him look good and add new made up non canon nonsense to make him and the greens look bad. In the end it has the opposite effect, and you just root for the guy because he can't win with the biased show runners. At least those are my reasons.
After reading the book I was team black, but I can't stand how the show tries to portray the blacks as saints and the greens as monsters so I switched sides.

Do you blame him? The reasoning behind this is bs..utter bs. We are not interchangeable. Because Rhaena is racebent on the show doesn't mean her character has ANYTHING in common with Nettles, outside of her skin color. This is to pacify a certain fandom and when Rhaenyra and Daemon split permanently, it'll be easier to take if it's over Rhaena and not Nettles.
It is SOOOOO obvious, and funny enough there were people saying this would happen directly after season one ended. I just knew this was a lie....sad to know it wasn't.

Here's how i hope this goes.
Spoiler alert-
Rhaena gets Nettles storyline, and the division between Daemon and Rhaenyra is brought on by something else. Rhaena confronts Aemond, and Sheepstealer is killed with Rhaena presumed dead, which is what drives Daemon to confront Aemond at the God's Eye. Rhaena however, has survived and returns to the Vale, where she finds Morning's egg. She brings it to King's Landing at the end of the war, where she hatches the egg, to Aegon III's horror.
