Thoughts of the first 2 episodes & Targaryen family tree

+ Show Spoiler +
As a first impression, its seems House of the Dragon doesn't seem too explosive and thriller-like when compared to its sequel, Game of Thrones. The plot seems rather tepid and slow. Daemon can't decide if he wants to be a bad guy (king and brother-slayer, or a good uncle). But maybe that's all part of the plot, building up to some explosive actions in later episodes (and seasons).

Btw here is a nice family tree of the dynasty in case you are confused:

The spoiler policy should be specific for the thread. I think maybe a hard policy of only using information from the TV show House of the dragon.

my fear is season 2 onward will be over reliant on battle when all I want is character interactions like we've seen so far

Yeah the solo attack by Daemon seems far-fetched. Equally insane was the response of the crab feeders. Send out an entire army to hunt 1 guy??

I liked everytuing but the final battle. The battle felt really dumb and nonsensical. Otherwise, it was a great episode. Hopefully this isn't foreshadowing for future battles to come because yeesh.

I really liked the final battle. Yes it was silly but I feel like it just cinematically fit what was happening. Matt smith not saying a single word the ep was what made it work for me. It being obvious that the dragon was coming to save him didn't ruin it for me I just feel.

I don't think Daemon is just 1 guy though. This is a dragon rider that is suddenly vulnerable enough for a regular person to kill. Take him out and retreat and you've won the greatest battle of the war. They haven't established that there is some sort of jedi mind signal for them to send out to get it to come. He very easily could have died before the dragon got there.

And they didn't bother to explain the crab feeder which was great. They explained why they were such an issue and why they were suffering so badly. Him being enraged at this brother having to send help made everyone think this was the only way they were going to win. The way it ends with him just dragging out a part of the crab feeder like a crab and how he looked just worked for me. Rest of the ep was great too. Love the rest of the Velaryon family as well.

sort of weird Daemon isn't the dragon rider, some NPC yelling draconus 5 times as the climax just didn't do great with me. Personally watch hotd for surprises and this episode just didn't really have much.

not sure i'd call Laenor Velaryon an NPC but they should have given him at least a bit of screentime. I can see how he came out of nowhere.

I thought episode 4 was great. The political intrigue is what I tune in for.

Not sure how you can really say nothing much happened, there were several pretty big moments that will surely have large impacts on the plot going forward.

More stuff happened in ep4 than any other episode.

+ Show Spoiler +
wickedly tricky scenes to film too. All the city scenes I felt were just about to spin out of control. I felt like they handled the incest well. It's disgusting but apart of the house of the dragon. Even in that it's treated as disgusting as it is by all the normal prople. The struggle of the king balancing out the doubts about if it happened vs what it would mean if it got out.

It's an episode that has minimal characters over a day a bight and the day after in a season that jumps years. Can't spend that dragon money every episode.

The preview for next week seems like it set up a lot for a huge sucsession crisis. The last scene with the tea was heavy as shit.

fyi Uncle and niece isnt incest, at least not considered in Germany due to no linear relationship. Marriage is permitted too 😂 at least in that Sense Targaryens are Safe.
AS someone being uncle this feels very weird 💀

Best episode for me as well, a Lot of good setups

I cant imagine how gross Alicent must have felt to have this old dude covered in puss sores flopping on top of her...god his back was disgusting. I wonder if this is all from the cut he got on his finger on the throne. I know they showed he lost that finger and the next, but maybe it was too late and now his whole body is infected.

Also shocked at the little boy who was trying to court Rhaenyra and ended up killing that dude who was taunting him...holy shit how does a mini war not break out after that? Presumably they're all really important members of their respective houses

Viserys constantly gets cut. He's lost 2 fingers already.

As for blackwood and bracken...yeah I like the nod but to leave it hanging is weird
