He seems quite conflicted. He wants to be king, but he certainly didn't want his nephew and sister-in-law to die like that. He was probably hoping it would just be another niece or born dead.
Yah people were worried about the casting but I forgot what role he played in the story. His distinctive and slightly odd looks really suit the character and his performance was fantastic

@@wierdOchoketv Well , according to the books their relation is far beyond uncle and niece. If I remember correctly they end up marrying very much later
Episode 1 of House of the Dragon was very visually pleasing and the entire cast potentialised my positive opinion upon them with their amazing charisma. I'm in love with how Caraxes and Syrax were subtly involved in the first episode and, oh Lord, how lovely it is to see Rhaenyra and Daemon flying with their dragons. Ramin Djawadi is brilliant and his song playing towards the last minutes of episode 1 was fascinating. The fact that the first episode is quite short embitters me a lot haha. I can't wait for next Sunday to watch House of the Dragon on HBO Max at 10pm here in Brazil❤🇧🇷
Why is everyone surprised this episode is incredible? Tweedle dee and twiddle dumb aren't involved, George rr stories are still strong. This is how it should be
well they do some good writing too, I find that they are just a bit ragiddy to exit GOT and do another huge project but sad to say they backfire the bad season against them. they should have call george for his suggestions.
So you're blaming Weiss and Benioff because they didn't have source material to go off of? You do know that was part of the deal right? They signed up to ADAPT a show, not write source material because Martin couldn't be bothered to finish his books. It's mind boggling how many people blame Weiss and Benioff for Martin's failures and laziness.
1st episode was epic, everything was perfect and well made. This show is gonna be epic like GOT! Loved the star cast especially Matt Smith's acting was amazing. Can't wait to see the rest of the episodes.
The day Ramin Djawadi launched "The Prince that was Promised" I listened to it on loop. And when it played towards the end of the first episode... Man did i get chills, man was i astonished by the quality of the pilot.
@@black_foresst the prince that was promised should've been the son of Jon and Dany but they wanted to make Dany the mad queen so bad that they ruined the most important prophecy. the whole mad queen stuff was so obvious yet so dumb, literally she went from saving everyone on westeros by defeating the white walkers to killing all innocents in a heartbeat.
@@charsenlik296 Her decedent to madness or tyranny is westorosi terms makes perfect sense from both a show and book perspective. It was just rushed and not well executed. Jon should of had to kill her to fulfill the prophecy of Azor Ahia and ignite lightbringer to defeat the great Other.
@@bigdaddey101 how? It makes 0 sense. They literally did all of that so that Jon snow would go beyond the wall and live the rest of his days there and Sansa ruling the north and bran on the throne. It’s a joke. GOT should’ve been called game of starks
What I'd love is for this series to take a few years to allow George to finally finish Winds of Winter. This could then allow for a re-telling of the original series within this new timeline. Divorced from the GoT series, called A Song of Ice and Fire where we get the true version of the books and a true ending worthy of the story.
That would be great, although they definitely won't be doing a complete live action retelling unless it's like at least 15 years from now sadly. He has to complete winds and the a dream of spring first.
@@Love2Cruise Very little chance of that happening. GOTs had a noticeable drop in quality after season 4. The reason why is GRRM stopped working with the show, they ran out of book material to work with and D&D didn't have the talent to finish the story on their own. With HOTD D&D are gone, GRRM is back working with the show and the books are completed.
This is how you're doing an epic fantasy adaptation. You create an immersion, by creating a great story. Sticking to the original book and getting a perfect cast. All that Amazon didn't do with the Wheel of Time, and as we can see, they really didn't change a thing with the War of the Rings.
At the end, when they conluded with GoT score, it almost made me feel cry ! so nostaligic ! Glad to be alive to watch this creation ( and trying to pay bills on time..lol...)
I really thought they were going to have a hard time introducing characters that we could get invested in, the way GOT did, but they nailed it. I wasn’t optimistic about this show but now I’m jazzed
The Scene when Viserys talks to Rhaenyra Blew me Away. The fact that Aegon knew the Long Night would happen 300 before hand, it explains why he Conquered the Seven Kingdoms. To bring them together against what was to come.
He didnt know when the long night would actually happen, just like Daenerys* dream of Valerian being destroyed only occurred a few years later, there wasnt a time limit in the prophecy
@@sercastamere9853 im pretty sure we will to some degree white walkers on this series, if as a introduction for the creation of the myths for the people
Every first episode of a series should be graded on a curve IMO - I've rarely ever liked a pilot episode of a series, even the all time great shows. But this was truly fantastic. If this is episode 1... this series could rival or exceed the original GOT
I agree. I told my husband I'm not usually a fan of pilots and first seasons altogether as they're hard to follow with so many characters and storylines to learn but this one had a great pace and clear linear plot.
@@HB-ey2dk The amount of times I've told a friend or family member to "just give it 2 or 3 episodes" or "it gets way better after season 1" about shows I really like...
@@hockeyfan131993 , if you read teh books then you would know it doesnt work. it wouldnt even work if this was a real story based on ancient time period. dragons or no dragons. it doesnt make sense.
I really enjoyed episode 1. Great story telling so far, good amount of action, shocking moments and throwbacks/hints about Game of Thrones. Looking forward to the rest of the season.
You know it when a show is great when you have to rewatch the trailer after finishing the whole series and pretend like you didn't know what happened. 🤣😅
The show looks CLEAN. I think of the Targaryens like Jedis in the SW prequels. This is their heyday when dragons flew around and wasn't a rarity. Then Targaryens became rare like Jedis.
Felt like I was home having a big hug. A brilliant start and I'm beyond excited for more. I loved the opening with the dragon flying over the kingdom, reminding me of how it would be destroyed in the future, just brilliant. Seeing the Dragon pit in all its glory, just so much to enjoy. The Characters were great, with not too much given away but enough to keep me wanting to get to know them. A huge thankyou to everyone involved in the making.
First episode was amazing. Bloody, harsh, exciting with big moments. And man. I instantly recognized amazing Ramin Djawaldi's music in there. All that came together to deliver us Game of Thrones we all been waiting for.
Episode 1 was a total beauty, I knew Miguel Sapochnik was not going to disappoint, Kudos to Ramin Djawadi, his music is great as always, can't wait to hear the intro next week with episode 2 🔥
@@rosesweetcharlotte its all about having a son so make her suffer multiple times even though its been proven she cant have a healthy child anymore. Then when she and the baby dies the king is like "I always knew Rhaenyra should be queen" even though he has always disregarded her as far as succession is concerned.
@@launicamanera This sort of happened to my aunt. She is still alive and well, but she and my uncle kept trying for a boy even though my aunt kept having really difficult births. It was ridiculous. They kept having girls and my uncle really just was in complete denial about the whole thing.
@@rosesweetcharlotte That reminds me of someone I know too. A family friend. All he wanted was a son, because apparently having one daughter isn’t enough. He got with someone, she gave birth to a son. But the baby passed away a little while later so he left her. It’s truly bizarre, and quite cruel in my opinion.
This first episode was everything that I wanted !!!! And we're all waiting for so long, I'm so grateful to be alive and able to contemplate this masterpiece
The emotions in syraxs face during the first scene and before she burned aemma and baelon says it all!!!! Damn the dragons will be dope and amazing if all dragons have different emotions like this. Syrax as said is friendly to humans and she kinda understood whom she was burning :( . RIP aemma and baelon. I know she died by childbirth but by viserys choice was heart wrenching but hey hard life hard choices.
I was highly impressed by the premiere. The writing, the action, the excitement….I feel that familiar GoT feeling again!!!! Can’t wait to get immersed in these characters and their story! Bravo!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I know it sounds like hyperbole, but I genuinely think that this first episode of HotD was better than all of Season 8 and most of Seasons 5-7 of GoT. And it continues to look very promising.
It's true, this pilot stayed more true to the lore and it's characters focusing on humans and magic not doing fanservice for unnecessary reason. Also we got back the real politics scenes!!
@@darkflame3669 lol, there were fucking magical dragons flying all over the place, I liked the premiere, but I'm not super impressed yet, and almost every episode in seasons 5-6 of GOT was better acted, casted, amd plotted then this
They combined the best of both worlds. The politics and scheming of the early Thrones seasons, mixed with full grown dragons duking it out regularly. We should’ve known this would be a home run lol
I watch the first episode on HBO max + I love it so freaking much 👏👏👏 The cinematography is gorgeous and the acting is really top notch in this show 🔥🔥🔥
I'm happy to see Dr. Who travel into this timeline and join the cast of GoT. These trailers started off curious, now they are affirming. House of the Dragon looks fire. Drakonis to the haters
"From my blood come the Prince who was Promised, and his will be the song of ice and fire." this is so beautiful. the Prince will surely be Daenerys or Jon, I do not know.
@@blqest125 what are you talking about - the one black dude? Yo, blame the producers or writers. Did the author complain about it? Perhaps you are just a racist
The writing alone is such a step up from later GoT. Jesus, we have quote-worthy lines again! Very strong start to a series I was only cautiously optimistic about just 24 hours ago.
Man this episode was great. Aemma's death was visceral and hard to watch, but those are the types of things that make this show/world fascinating. I'm pleasantly surprised and looking forward to next week. Can't wait to see more dragons! Also, now I know GRRM is the sex freak and must be the one that insists on sudden and loud sex scenes 😂 Warning parents: close your door and have the mute button ready.
@@lalboimanlun1230 definitely a good call 😂 I thought we might be safe and then my daughter walks in right when the entire screen was a whole butt, in the castration scene 🤦🏼♀️
This was a damn good pilot! Excited for the rest of the series, my one complaint would be the addition of the white walker prophecy and the inclusion of the special dagger. Like, just keep any GoT season 8 nonsense away from the show and focus on the politics and morally complicated characters instead. I get they want to connect the shows together, that makes sense, but when they mentioned the long night I got a PTSD flashback to season 8 episode 3… focus on the your strengths House of the Dragon, not your burdened past!
@@msanjelica Did George RR Martin confirm all Targaryens knew about the prophecy? In the books, it was the Ghost of High Heart who made the connection of The prince who was promised to the line of Aerys and Rhaella, that’s why King Jaehaerys insisted they marry. You’re right about it making sense in a Roberts Rebellion story, but is it also confirmed that King Viserys (and his predecessors) also knew about this? I don’t remember that from the books.
@@BlackCrowOfDeath You can find the clip from 2018 where he goes into all of that. I think The Dragon Demands channel has it up. Seems to be one of George's (many) afterthoughts, lol, but it is his.
@@BlackCrowOfDeath He confirmed about the Aegon stuff (it came from him, look his 2018 interview) and that he is going to explain all about Targaryen prophetic dreams on his books.
I've watched first episode 2x already. My expectations were extremely high and they exceeded it so far. So excited for this new series!!! I can't believe they used real dragons in this show..
Phenomenal premiere. Absolutely worth the wait. Dialogue was great, can’t wait to see how the rest of this season is told. So happy to see ice and fire back on the screen again
I just watched the first episode. I have never been so addicted to something as great as this. GOT was great but this is just a masterpiece. Give me more 🐉🐉🐉
Everything you did wrong with GoT season 6-8, you corrected with House of the Dragon episode 1. This is pure GoT season 1-5 - or as some people called it: the very best of what made its predecessor the phenomenon it has been. I loved it and cant wait till the next episode!
after episode 1, I think Milly Alcock as Rhaenyra was perfect..now I kinda wish she would not get replaced later in the season..anyway, I'm just thrilled it's finally here! FIRE AND BLOOD! 🔥

Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him. True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness.
God is three in one; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him!
As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil. I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God.
Considering Hot D will only be 3-4 seasons long; i'll take it as an apology for GoT's season we do not speak of.
Love Daemon and Rhaenyra chemistry.
ain’t they uncle and niece lmao
@@wierdOchoketv so what? that's normal for Targaryens
@@Polytopiagod i know i know just always shocked LMAO
Yes the conversation they had in the throne room speaking valryan
@@wierdOchoketv Well , according to the books their relation is far beyond uncle and niece. If I remember correctly they end up marrying very much later
Was pessimistic at first but looks like I’m gonna be staying up till 3am for the next 9 weeks
Episode 1 of House of the Dragon was very visually pleasing and the entire cast potentialised my positive opinion upon them with their amazing charisma. I'm in love with how Caraxes and Syrax were subtly involved in the first episode and, oh Lord, how lovely it is to see Rhaenyra and Daemon flying with their dragons. Ramin Djawadi is brilliant and his song playing towards the last minutes of episode 1 was fascinating. The fact that the first episode is quite short embitters me a lot haha. I can't wait for next Sunday to watch House of the Dragon on HBO Max at 10pm here in Brazil❤🇧🇷
Potentialised isn't an English verb.

Why is everyone surprised this episode is incredible? Tweedle dee and twiddle dumb aren't involved, George rr stories are still strong. This is how it should be
Yet he still hasn't finished the last book like over 4 years later..😑
well they do some good writing too, I find that they are just a bit ragiddy to exit GOT and do another huge project but sad to say they backfire the bad season against them. they should have call george for his suggestions.
@@coreymckee4844 Takes a lot of time to write a huge book filled with so many details about world.
So you're blaming Weiss and Benioff because they didn't have source material to go off of? You do know that was part of the deal right? They signed up to ADAPT a show, not write source material because Martin couldn't be bothered to finish his books. It's mind boggling how many people blame Weiss and Benioff for Martin's failures and laziness.
@@slylockfox85 you are really out of touch, and clearly don't understand the details of their disengagement from the show.
1st episode was epic, everything was perfect and well made. This show is gonna be epic like GOT! Loved the star cast especially Matt Smith's acting was amazing. Can't wait to see the rest of the episodes.
The day Ramin Djawadi launched "The Prince that was Promised" I listened to it on loop. And when it played towards the end of the first episode... Man did i get chills, man was i astonished by the quality of the pilot.
I just cant get it out of my head that D&D RUINED this foretold prophecy.
@@black_foresst the prince that was promised should've been the son of Jon and Dany but they wanted to make Dany the mad queen so bad that they ruined the most important prophecy. the whole mad queen stuff was so obvious yet so dumb, literally she went from saving everyone on westeros by defeating the white walkers to killing all innocents in a heartbeat.
@@charsenlik296 Her decedent to madness or tyranny is westorosi terms makes perfect sense from both a show and book perspective. It was just rushed and not well executed. Jon should of had to kill her to fulfill the prophecy of Azor Ahia and ignite lightbringer to defeat the great Other.
@@bigdaddey101 how? It makes 0 sense. They literally did all of that so that Jon snow would go beyond the wall and live the rest of his days there and Sansa ruling the north and bran on the throne. It’s a joke. GOT should’ve been called game of starks
I was sobbing man
The younger actress who plays Rhaenyra is absolutely perfect. Her face conveys so much emotion!
Exactly! She's absolutely fantastic
That was a powerful "Dracarys" for such a small young person in grief.
@@AshleySC83 Drrrcarrrys
Noticed that too lol
A shame she is gonna die
What I'd love is for this series to take a few years to allow George to finally finish Winds of Winter. This could then allow for a re-telling of the original series within this new timeline. Divorced from the GoT series, called A Song of Ice and Fire where we get the true version of the books and a true ending worthy of the story.
That would be great, although they definitely won't be doing a complete live action retelling unless it's like at least 15 years from now sadly. He has to complete winds and the a dream of spring first.
Episode 1 felt perfect, just like early GoT S1, keep up the good work!
Haven't watched Ep. 1 yet, but uncertain if I want to watch a show for 10 years only to see the final season crash & burn again.
@@Love2Cruise Very little chance of that happening. GOTs had a noticeable drop in quality after season 4. The reason why is GRRM stopped working with the show, they ran out of book material to work with and D&D didn't have the talent to finish the story on their own. With HOTD D&D are gone, GRRM is back working with the show and the books are completed.
IT'S BACK!! Great character introduction, story, visuals, and Dragons!!! And we get a full Season....Happy times are here again!! 😄

This is how you're doing an epic fantasy adaptation. You create an immersion, by creating a great story. Sticking to the original book and getting a perfect cast. All that Amazon didn't do with the Wheel of Time, and as we can see, they really didn't change a thing with the War of the Rings.

It was wonderful to see them again
The score still gives chills. Ramin Djawadi is a master.
Great start, hoping for more awesome moments
ok
At the end, when they conluded with GoT score, it almost made me feel cry ! so nostaligic ! Glad to be alive to watch this creation ( and trying to pay bills on time..lol...)
My expectations were too high and they successfully filled them...loved it ..so much excited for upcoming episodes
I really thought they were going to have a hard time introducing characters that we could get invested in, the way GOT did, but they nailed it. I wasn’t optimistic about this show but now I’m jazzed
I was really concerned about this too. But it really felt easy to get to know these characters.
My thoughts exactly
Snake Got it Legs Back,,
ruclips.net/video/ehql3w-V8Qs/видео.html
Which characters did you like? I didn't like raenyra or daemon really, I only liked otto, and viserys
The Scene when Viserys talks to Rhaenyra Blew me Away. The fact that Aegon knew the Long Night would happen 300 before hand, it explains why he Conquered the Seven Kingdoms. To bring them together against what was to come.
He didnt know when the long night would actually happen, just like Daenerys* dream of Valerian being destroyed only occurred a few years later, there wasnt a time limit in the prophecy
I didn't like that. Gives him a "valid excuse" whereas before he conquered because he was, y'know... human.
Exactly! This was my favourite scene 🖤
@@sercastamere9853 what you really mean is that you didn’t like that scene because it wasn’t in the Fire & Blood book 😂
@@sercastamere9853 im pretty sure we will to some degree white walkers on this series, if as a introduction for the creation of the myths for the people
1st Episode was phenomenal, the cast , music , visuals, the dialogue all stunning 😍🔥🐉
Some reviews said that the first episode didn't have that "hook" the original did... THEY WERE WRONG. I AM HOOKED.
Every first episode of a series should be graded on a curve IMO - I've rarely ever liked a pilot episode of a series, even the all time great shows. But this was truly fantastic. If this is episode 1... this series could rival or exceed the original GOT
I agree. I told my husband I'm not usually a fan of pilots and first seasons altogether as they're hard to follow with so many characters and storylines to learn but this one had a great pace and clear linear plot.
lol not with the corlys velaryon casting!!!!

@@hockeyfan131993 , if you read teh books then you would know it doesnt work. it wouldnt even work if this was a real story based on ancient time period. dragons or no dragons. it doesnt make sense.
Finally we see Vhagar, the last of the Big Three. I'm so excited to see her in all her glory going forward.

Watch the premiere. Now this is what a show is supposed to be like. Very rich dialogue. Visually stunning. ❤️

You know it when a show is great when you have to rewatch the trailer after finishing the whole series and pretend like you didn't know what happened. 🤣😅
The show looks CLEAN. I think of the Targaryens like Jedis in the SW prequels. This is their heyday when dragons flew around and wasn't a rarity. Then Targaryens became rare like Jedis.
Yup, at the top of their game
Felt like I was home having a big hug. A brilliant start and I'm beyond excited for more.
I loved the opening with the dragon flying over the kingdom, reminding me of how it would be destroyed in the future, just brilliant. Seeing the Dragon pit in all its glory, just so much to enjoy.
The Characters were great, with not too much given away but enough to keep me wanting to get to know them.
A huge thankyou to everyone involved in the making.
First episode was amazing. Bloody, harsh, exciting with big moments. And man. I instantly recognized amazing Ramin Djawaldi's music in there. All that came together to deliver us Game of Thrones we all been waiting for.

Queen Aemma Arryn, you will always be remembered in our hearts!
Yeah, seriously. Her death messed me up. Especially since they didn't even try and explain what was happening to her or why.
@@rosesweetcharlotte its all about having a son so make her suffer multiple times even though its been proven she cant have a healthy child anymore. Then when she and the baby dies the king is like "I always knew Rhaenyra should be queen" even though he has always disregarded her as far as succession is concerned.
@@launicamanera This sort of happened to my aunt. She is still alive and well, but she and my uncle kept trying for a boy even though my aunt kept having really difficult births. It was ridiculous. They kept having girls and my uncle really just was in complete denial about the whole thing.
@@rosesweetcharlotte That reminds me of someone I know too. A family friend. All he wanted was a son, because apparently having one daughter isn’t enough. He got with someone, she gave birth to a son. But the baby passed away a little while later so he left her. It’s truly bizarre, and quite cruel in my opinion.
Oh man it’s so refreshing to finally have something follow it’s source material again. Let Dune and now House of the Dragon be lessons for the future.

The emotions in syraxs face during the first scene and before she burned aemma and baelon says it all!!!! Damn the dragons will be dope and amazing if all dragons have different emotions like this.

I watched the first episode like 3 times! Loved everything about it great start so far. I hope this continues.
I know it sounds like hyperbole, but I genuinely think that this first episode of HotD was better than all of Season 8 and most of Seasons 5-7 of GoT. And it continues to look very promising.
It's true, this pilot stayed more true to the lore and it's characters focusing on humans and magic not doing fanservice for unnecessary reason. Also we got back the real politics scenes!!
@@darkflame3669 lol, there were fucking magical dragons flying all over the place, I liked the premiere, but I'm not super impressed yet, and almost every episode in seasons 5-6 of GOT was better acted, casted, amd plotted then this

They combined the best of both worlds. The politics and scheming of the early Thrones seasons, mixed with full grown dragons duking it out regularly.
We should’ve known this would be a home run lol
I watch the first episode on HBO max + I love it so freaking much 👏👏👏 The cinematography is gorgeous and the acting is really top notch in this show 🔥🔥🔥
I'm happy to see Dr. Who travel into this timeline and join the cast of GoT. These trailers started off curious, now they are affirming. House of the Dragon looks fire. Drakonis to the haters
"From my blood come the Prince who was Promised, and his will be the song of ice and fire."

This was a damn good pilot! Excited for the rest of the series, my one complaint would be the addition of the white walker prophecy and the inclusion of the special dagger. Like, just keep any GoT season 8 nonsense away from the show and focus on the politics and morally complicated characters instead. I get they want to connect the shows together, that makes sense, but when they mentioned the long night I got a PTSD flashback to season 8 episode 3… focus on the your strengths House of the Dragon, not your burdened past!
It's directly from GRRM. If this does well, and they get to do more stories, that should all tie into Rhaegar's plot in Robert's Rebellion.
I disagree with you. I’m glad they added that. It was shown that there was full knowledge of the threat and by the time of GOT no one believed it.
@@msanjelica Did George RR Martin confirm all Targaryens knew about the prophecy? In the books, it was the Ghost of High Heart who made the connection of The prince who was promised to the line of Aerys and Rhaella, that’s why King Jaehaerys insisted they marry. You’re right about it making sense in a Roberts Rebellion story, but is it also confirmed that King Viserys (and his predecessors) also knew about this? I don’t remember that from the books.
@@BlackCrowOfDeath You can find the clip from 2018 where he goes into all of that. I think The Dragon Demands channel has it up.
Seems to be one of George's (many) afterthoughts, lol, but it is his.

This is the true essence of GoT, poetry in each sentence, conflict about politics and houses and war… I have missed this so much
Everything you did wrong with GoT season 6-8, you corrected with House of the Dragon episode 1. This is pure GoT season 1-5 - or as some people called it: the very best of what made its predecessor the phenomenon it has been.
I loved it and cant wait till the next episode!
Cool opinion . But very wrong
@@bilbobaggins9765 why do you think so?
