MY REVIEW
The Intro
First of All can we talk about how gorgeous the intro is. The have hanged the intro to this beautiful embroidery of a tapestry featuring All the key moments and components of House of the Dragon. i love the traditional trademark intro but this one is also very pretty.
On The Wall
Dragonstone
Rhaenyra is in mourning. She flew with Syrax to find whatever remains of her son and she did found it. That scene was heart wrenching to be honest Emma Darcy did an an impeccable job portraying the grief of a mother.
Rhaenyra wants Aemond.
Driftmark
Lord Corlys Velaryon can now walk and there is an intro of New Character Alyn who seems to be someone important for the season in future episodes.
King's Landing
Queen Helaena yet gave another cryptic dialogue or prophecy whatever you say that she is afraid of Rats.
Aegon is now king so he si sitting teh throne sending ravens for houses to declare for him. he is also listening to teh small folk and might I say he is rather kind in that solving problems of people but his grand father the ever evil Otto hightower has the mission to make him evil.
Alicent and Cole. I mean what the actual hell 🤢. According to Cole Alicent has a gentle heart and Rhenara is cunning spider. 🤔
Aemond is now on small council which means it's going to get bloody.
Blood and Cheese
Daemon puts in motion son for a son mission. The scene of Queen Helaena pointing the boy and a second later realizing what she did. That scene was epic. The expression of Phia Saban were so beautiful and tragic. It was sad and it broke my Heart. Queen Helaena was the victim in the whole scenario she does not deserve that.
