U also have to think about the fact that alot of the book is written as second hand accounts being passed along. It specifically states in the book several times that we don't know exactly how it went down like the green council there is like 3 different theories of what happened at the green council from 3 different people. That is why they r able to change some stuff bcause of the fact that it's not written like a novel but as a history book told by people who were there or heard about it.

2023-08-27 21:42:34 +0000 UTCYikes lol. I get it but Rhaenyra and Laenor had an agreement. She tried to have children with him but it wasn't possible. He couldn't do it. Then both of them figured they could pass the kids off as their own. Didn't work out though. This is why she should have been married to someone else. Nonetheless the kids aren't to blame, You should like Ser Criston Cole lol. He is cited as Jamie Lannisters main inspiration and idol lol hahahahaha.

2023-08-26 03:13:10 +0000 UTCGreat editing decision: They go directly from Alicent telling Cole that decency and honor must prevail, to her walking in on this moment with her eldest son and not seeming surprised that he’s masturbating in public.

2023-08-25 15:57:09 +0000 UTCI guess we just have different opinions on this one though! The same way people draw a line in the sand in the show. Apparently this one from Senor lboyd was just unexpected to me!

2023-08-24 23:06:13 +0000 UTCI actually thought the casting for the younger/older versions of the characters was great!

2023-08-24 18:03:16 +0000 UTCI think Alicent acts by envy and revenge that she could not do what Rhaenyra did, marry a young suitable man and have a sexual enjoyable life with a man of her choice. Is not that she is righteous or fighting for what is right and moral, is just envy that she did what her dad told her and married the old king. No matter she is the queen now, she envy Rhaenyra’s life
Anabel Gonzalez
2023-08-24 14:50:29 +0000 UTCNo shot you're taking the side of Alicent! Each to their own! All raenaera wants to do is live her life on her terms, like she always has done. Alicent wants to destroy her for no other reason than to make her son king; shes basically Cersei with brown hair at this point imo!
Matt Rumsey
2023-08-24 08:41:30 +0000 UTCI'm a little confused as to why you suddenly don't like raenaera. Her and Laenor had an agreement that they would do their own thing and the marriage was just a facade. She has a long lasting relationship with another man, but she wanted that anyway with cristen cole; he turned her down. EDIT: Just saw that you forgot the circumstances :') :')

2023-08-24 07:53:18 +0000 UTCThey did it because time jump. No, none of us were fans of it. But by the end you should feel fine with it

Jeremy Cairns
2023-08-24 00:19:17 +0000 UTCAlso....not for nothing Emma D'Arcy (older Rhaenyra) is a kick ass actress..I think she is so talented especially since identifies so differently in her personal life. Both her and Allicent (apologies...forgetting her real name now) and Paddy and Matt Smith are phenomenal!
PatronPioneer
2023-08-23 19:55:15 +0000 UTCMr B....it's early! Lol...so while you love this Queen now, that could change. Rhaenyra has a duty which is to have kids...which Laenor reneged on...though distasteful she found love in Ser Harwin...but Allicent and her kids are no saints bro!!!

2023-08-23 17:49:20 +0000 UTCIt’s only the unusual physical feature of silver-blond hair that makes anyone’s illegitimacy obvious in GOT world, including when Ned Stark realizes that all of Baratheon children have dark hair, therefore Cersei’s kids are illegitimate. I mean, we all assume that randomly dark-haired characters like Alicent are the legitimate children of their dark-haired fathers, but there’s no way any of them could have known for sure unless their mothers wore chastity belts. The cultural meanings of legitimacy, and the medieval notion of inherited power (talking to you, King Charles) are major themes here and in GOT. Martin seems to want us to question what legitimacy even means, especially in a world where brother-sister incest can produce a king.
Susan B
2023-08-23 15:47:36 +0000 UTCI felt the same way. I wasn't aware of the facts that it was going to happen. So I was shocked that the Rhaenyra I'd grown to love was gone. But Emma D'Arcy won me over pretty fast. She's an amazing actress!

Alyssa Dyson
2023-08-23 13:45:05 +0000 UTCCame back to comment that Rhaynera and Laenor couldn't just have their marriage annulled if they did it would put both of them and the children at risk same reason why the king wont acknowledge it...he doesn't want to have his daughter and grandsons killed.
Alyssa Dyson
2023-08-23 13:14:07 +0000 UTCIf Mr. Boyd only knew how Alicent is going to reward Larys LOL
Dasypodidae
2023-08-23 12:31:25 +0000 UTCThis first episode of new actors was kinda jarring for me because I loved the younger actress who played Rhaynera, but I grew to really like this actress as well. As someone else mentioned the actor change was kinda necessary as this first season is a prequel of events leading up to the main story where the characters are much older 💜
Alyssa Dyson
2023-08-23 11:47:47 +0000 UTCKeep in mind that Laenor and Rhaenyra did agree before they were married in the previous episode that they would allow each other to persue their own desires. I mean Laenor's not even interested in women. So just to be clear, Laenor knows fully about "his" children's true parentage. It doesn't bother him because he's not even attracted to his wife and never has been lol. So it's certainly not surprising that Rhaenyra hasn't produced any children with him
Jeremiah Smith
2023-08-23 09:42:00 +0000 UTCI always stick too the logic that the Tully's are complete schmucks except for the Blackfish based on the fact that the author George Martin has named alot of them after literal Muppets. Half of the Tully lords are named Grover, Kermit, or Elmo lol.
Christopher Wichman
2023-08-23 08:09:22 +0000 UTCThis may be some modern day ideology which doesn't belong in this setting but personally I don't think it matters one lick who fathered the children or why that should have any effect on their capabilities to rule.
Christopher Wichman
2023-08-23 07:25:47 +0000 UTCLarys was already introduced in the episodes you thought were 'superfluous', he's the guy with the club-foot. Alicent calling Rhaenyra's sons 'plain featured' was because she can't come out and call them Bastards without her husband the King being forced to send her to have her head chopped-off. That's the kinda stakes there are here. Now... How to bring this about delicately.... I can kinda see your position, but... end of the day, it's Your position. And I think that you're projecting too much of your own perspective as a heterosexual man viewing marriage and procreation through the lens of 21st century western ideals of heteronormative marriage and procreation. This is not a modern, western-style marriage that isn't working out so let's just quit it and have a do-over. This is an Alliance between Medieval Dynasties. For her 'Husband' to go gallivanting off while the politics at court are as they are can be Literally deadly, and to call it off could see their heads and the heads of their children up on pikes. Rhaenyra NEEDS to have kids, she's the Heir to the throne and she needs to produce an heir of her own, ANY Heir. It's possible that after Ser Laenor failed in his 'duties' (And you know damned well, a woman can 'lie back and think of England' but it just doesn't work that way for men. You can't take one for the team if you can't swing the bat). ...she drafted lord Harwin to step-in... at first... maybe... It could've become something else and she developed real feelings for him while her 'husband' was off galavanting about as he was. You're getting all down on Rhaenyra and saying she's trash for doing this to Her Husband, but, he's not you, he's there like, "Hey, babies, that's a woman thing and I'm not about that, lemme go get drunk and chase boys." While she's left there shouldering the burden of birthing 'suspect' children while he get's to play around with the equally horrible secret of being 'a Deviant' but he get's a pass and a kindly blind eye while everybody puts the hairy eyeball on Rhaenyra. Yes, politically it's all kinds of fucky, but morally you're judging them by standards that aren't relevant here. Speaking of 'lying back and thinking of the realm'... Remember that fan-theory that Allicent and Rhaenyra had semi-romantic feelings for each other? The idea that Allicent was fully a closeted lesbian (or perhaps asexual), she literally was lying on her back thinking of the realm underneath the King. If we take the fan-theory as factual, she has no concept of sexual pleasure as something a man can give to a woman, therefor she has no concept of why Rhaenyra would commit acts which would sire children for any reason other than a deliberate act of spite. Makes Allicent's attitude all the more interesting.
Molly McAllister
2023-08-23 07:02:09 +0000 UTCThe actress that plays Rhaenyra from this episode on is also the voice you hear in the beginning of the first episode. Emma D'Arcy is the 'main' Rhaenyra. Milly Allcock is cast to play the younger version of Rhaenyra.

2023-08-23 06:51:50 +0000 UTCI dislike this queen even more than Cersei.
Ashley
2023-08-23 06:11:02 +0000 UTCRhanera’s job is to produce heirs. But her husband can’t help her do that. So she found a man who could. The earlier episodes made it clear that the princess was under pressure to do two things: make the politically expedient marriage to the Sea Snake’s heir, and make male babies. No marriage, no babies, no purpose to her existence. She has tried to find some happiness in a situation not of her choosing, while allowing her husband to seek happiness in his own way.
Susan B
2023-08-23 06:02:19 +0000 UTCalso to me harwin is being honorable watching over his kids, but unfortunately it’s too obvious that they’re his kids. and it wasn’t a good idea to beat criston up but i understand how he felt, criston has become absolutely insufferable. and at least rhaenyra is having heirs, she wouldn’t have any kids if she didn’t sleep with someone that wasn’t her husband and unfortunately that’s unacceptable for the heir to the throne. and laenor loves “his” kids, and doesn’t mind that she is involved with someone else and that they’re not his biological kids i think you’ll grow to like rhaenyra again. this episode was sort of a quiet episode for her!

2023-08-23 05:55:38 +0000 UTCthe scene of aegon… pleasing himself… at the window is incredibly uncomfortable however it tells us something very important about his personality in that he is a perverted weirdo 😭

2023-08-23 05:41:58 +0000 UTCfinished the video, this might be the very first pro alicent and anti rhaenyra reaction ive ever seen. the rest of the season will definitely be an interesting watch through this perspective
peyten
2023-08-23 05:22:59 +0000 UTCTo think that her and laenor never tried in 10 years to have their own kid is crazy they had to have tried a few times at least that was the entire deal in the first place to do their duties but it never worked and he went back to his ways with men and she found a man of her own. That was their plan all along I feel if he had given her a child she probably would have used the plan b tea with harwin but since laenor never gave her a child harwin was the next best option.

Molly McAllister
2023-08-23 04:39:31 +0000 UTCSer Cristen isn't Jealous, he's Angry, he feels Betrayed, but it's not Jealousy. He doesn't want Rhaenyra, that's not what this is about. This is about his feelings of being betrayed, being Used, and then set-aside. All those stories where a naive virgin has their virtue taken by someone of charisma and class well above their station and expecting them to marry them and make an honest person only to be denied? Ser Cristen is in one of those stories, and He's the Chick.

2023-08-23 04:17:17 +0000 UTCHe’s at least 170 😂
Conner
2023-08-23 03:43:38 +0000 UTCthe entire actual plot of house of the dragon takes place when the characters are way older. the younger versions of them were all set up episodes for the rest of this season and the next seasons to come. also all of the older cast are the original cast. the younger versions were casted after them to match the older versions, not the other way around.
peyten
2023-08-23 03:42:11 +0000 UTCTo be fair, you were warned there was gonna be a time-skip/actor change.
Molly McAllister
2023-08-23 03:37:22 +0000 UTCThe reason for the time jump and the recast is that the actual story takes place over like 25 years and the writers want to focus more on the tail end of that 25 years so the first season is just the build up to what the show is truly gonna b about. Rhaenyra and alicent started the series at about 14 or 15 by the last episode u watched she was about 17 to 18 years old and in this one 10 years have passed making her somewhere around 28 to 30 max. And both of them have had 3 kids. Also in the book it states that rhaenyra never really loses the baby weight so she isn't the skinny beautiful princess that she starts out the series as. And the theory on her kids is that her oldest is criston coles and that she was pregnant at the wedding and the other 2 r harwins. Her oldest has straight brown hair like criston the other 2 curly brown hair like harwin.
