Brlliant first episode

[Anonymous]

OMG what a brilliant first episode, no disappointmens here. I won't give anything away as lots will not have seen it.

Can't wait for episode 2.

It was indeed a great episode, got my weekly dragon dose 🐉

I still think that Syrax did not grow at all since the first episode what is a bit disappointing 🤔

Yes agree Syrax doesn't seem as huge as I thought but maybe she will grow. I don't know if female dragons are smaller than the males, probably so. 

[Kelsingra]

There are a couple of theories going around about that.

• Some people say that Drogon and the other dragons were oversize for their age.
• Syrax grew up in the dragon pit, while the other dragons were free to roam and hunt, so they grew bigger.

I prefer to think the second one 😄 but it's true that she is one of the most useless of the dragons, I read that she is willing to eat only goats and cattle, but refuses to hunt for herself. 🤔 Still a beauty 🐉

I think the fact that Syrax was chained for so long has also kept her a bit smaller. 

An interesting fact is that dragons will only accept one rider unlike a horse who will have many riders.

My favourite dragon is still Drogon at the moment, the saddest scene ever when he picked up the dead Danaerys after sniffing her. I still end up in floods of tears when watching that scene.

A concept 'borrowed' from the Pern novels by Anne McCaffrey, I suspect, who was doing dragons before GRRM started writing.

I'm surprised no-one has picked them up for television, as they successfully bridge the fantasy and science fiction genres.

Also, there are more than 20 books...

Possibly but everyone steals a bit from someone elses writing. Look at JK Rowling, she stole loads from Tolkein.

GRR Martin is still a brilliant novelist

And rather more from 'Jennings', which no-one remembers now.

Season 2 certainly started a lot quicker than Season 1 did 😀. The big question is can they keep it up for the entire season?

[Anonymous]

I certainly hope so, think it could be epic 

[lettice]

Agree, Series 2 has got off to a good start so far, Series 1 was more of a slow let's build the story.

Liking the new titles for for Series 2, better than than the poorly done bloodline of Series1.

Do hope the tapestry changes  through the series, much like the Game of Thones titles did, with each individual programme change of location.

One criticism from me,

The occasional whispering dialogue in House of the Dragon, it's hard to hear sometimes and sounds mumbled at times.

[MarkGoldsmith]

Agreed with the title changes for season 2. I always thought the titles for season 1 of HOTD was just too much like GOT and it's good they are starting to differentiate it a bit more.

Anybody else get chills when Rhenarys whsipered "Your pathetic" to Daemon?

I feel this is going to be a 3 way fight for the throne now.

Yes I agree it is could to change so they are different. Although not too much as it is a fame of thrones prequel
