House of the Dragon - Game of Thrones spinoff (SPOILERS)

[Anonymous]

I was totally thinking that Reanyra was going to become a psycho killer. Then end mad eme think she doesn't have the fortitude to truly climb the throne.

I totally want to discuss this show with you all, but I can’t read the thread any longer because I’m afraid someone is going to say how it all ends.

The book spoiler pp ruined the thread.

Yes! First blood drawn when the future belligerents are young.

loved how Reanyra set her husband free though I couldn’t discern who was used as his corpse. His poor parents.

I think it was the random guard they killed just before the staged "fight." It happens really quickly seconds before the fight.

Will Laena's daughters stay at Driftmark with her grandparents or go with Daemon and Rhaenyra?

Did she know that he didn't really die? And yes, the corpse is one of the guards who died right beforehand.

It wasn't clear to me if Daemon and Rhaeneyra were in on the "Laenor isn't actually dead but escaped to live his own life" twist.

Did Daemon kill that guard just as part of the plan to get the assassin/lover in the room with Laenor or was he helping secure a decoy body?
Did the assassin/lover go to Laenor, tell him the plan, and the two of them staged his death and escaped?

Rhaeneyra coldly killing (or thinking she did) her husband who just tried to recommit to being a good father make her a very different player than staging his death does.

Can the book spoiler posters start a new thread? Would like to read this thread about the HBO show but now cannot.

Stop whining. I didn’t read the book either. You sound like a rigid control freak.

This was my impression. I think Daemon and Rhaenyra were a part of the plot to fake the death. Daemon recruited Qarl and provided him with the decoy body.

Why do you think that was her choice and not his and Ser Quarl’s?

Exactly right. All three were complicit in the plot to get the lives they wanted.

In the book she died (not by fire) after giving birth to a horribly deformed child. I really wonder if they are playing down the fact that incest has consequences. Apparently Viserys and Daemon’s mother and father were also brother/sister as were their grandparents, plus a few generations before that, the original Aegon married both his sisters. Plus Laena and Daemon were cousins. That’s a pretty big ick factor for me.

No the Targs are allll about incest. They do it to keep the dragon riding ability strong and located only within their own house (See: the problem here with some of the Velaryons having their own dragons). Vicerys was married to his first cousin (Aemma, the woman who died via c-section). R&D eventually get together and have kids. Alicent marries her son Aegon to her daughter Helaena. Aegon’s daughter marries Rhaenyra’s son after the war and that’s how the Targaryen line continues down to Dany.

They truly don’t care about incest, lol.

Aegon’s daughter marries Rhaenyra’s son after the war but that’s not the line Dany came from.

OMG I have stop reading this thread since some of you are determined to spoil the show for the rest of us!!!

Family tree - spoilers I guess:

Wow - instead of having 4 sets of great-grandparents, Daenerys only has 1 set.

DP. NO SPOILERS PLEASE!

Did you read the title of this thread?

OP here. I did not write Spoilers in the title, although I expected them. Jeff must have added the SPOILERS because crybabies were sad they couldn't read the thread until they watched the most recent episode.

Wrong. I asked Jeff to add it after they wouldn’t delete the posts giving book spoilers. I am always current on all the episodes. People are spoiling from the books, telling people who will die, who will marry, etc. Its really $hurry of them but they don’t care. They just want to be know-it-alls. There should be a separate thread for those wanting to discuss the books, but it’s too late they’ve already spoiled the show.

Omg, the books have been out forever. If it was important to you, you would have read them already. Will you also be upset if I tell you that both Romeo and Juliet die in the end?

Lots of people want to just watch the show and not already know how it’s going to end. Surely a book lover like yourself can understand that. It ruins the experience. I would say just be considerate but that seems a foreign concept.

+1. It's one thing to point out how the book is similar or differs from the series AFTER an episode comes out, but to run down the entire plot of the book is kind of rude.
