TV Series Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon

I don’t mind the time jump but there is a lot of back story I want.

How did Laena end up with dipshit?
Why does that one kid not have a dragon?
Why are Laena and dipshit traveling around?
Why didn’t Rhaenyra and the gay guy not just do the deed to produce kids?
Why does Rhaenyra feel she has to do the Queen’s bidding like screw off bitch?

It felt like a lot happened that we were just supposed to accept. This episode should have been two hours and they nailed down all questions.
On further posting like above I do find some common ground. These are some questions I had as well.

Especially Daemon and Laena…. That was just thrown at us. And what happens to his whore consort?

The kids with no dragons I just kind of accepted. This is the first I can remember from tv shows saying not all eggs hatch. I definitely feel I picked up on Aemon with no dragon and bullied. He’s going to be somebody.

Daemon and Laena traveling around….it just made sense that Daemon isn’t left with much to do but travel around aimlessly after the events 10 years ago.

Gay husband couldn’t do the deed. But, while we are here….the level of foreboding at the children being fathered by Breakbones just doesn’t make sense. Like, that should have been enough to just make it where that didn’t happen. They had to all know they couldn’t just run against that current forever. That was a big illogical part for me.

The Queen undoubtably has the kings ear. Not enough to convince him to see what’s right in front of him. But if Rhaenyra just goes all “fuck off” on the queen than she could possibly gain the kings ear, get Rhaenyra off the succession…..and possibly worse with the truth of the boys.

Alicent Hightower is not the sweet girl she was at first. She learned to be just as cut throat as her father. And by now she has had 10 years at it. She’s a vet.

You lose all credibility by calling the best character on the show, "dipshit."

Sorry, I'm not nerdy enough to remember exactly how to spell all these fictional characters' names and the guy is a dipshit because he could be the hand of the king and the second most powerful guy in the land if he just reined himself in a little. Entitled people with no self-control are dipshits in my book.
 
Book readers..............is that how Laena died in the book?

I am curious about this too.

I thought since Velayrons could ride they were fire proof. I was wrong.

I didn't recall how she died in the book, but looked it up, pretty similar childbirth complications. In the books, she dies after a few days of struggle. The child was stillborn and grotesquely malformed.

IIRC, Targaryens aren't fireproof either. Dany was just special.

As others have said, not much really has happened that is worth extending the show several episodes for a full storyline. They can be covered in short conversations to get everyone up to speed. Basically, it's all pretty inconsequential and the pieces are in place for civil war to break out as soon as Vizzy-T eats dirt.

As a side note, I don't think the maesters had yet perfected the science of artificial insemination, so if homeboy's dingus couldn't get up for the fight, he and Rhaenyra couldn't "just do the deed to produce kids".

Dude is getting it up with his boy toys, unless he is just a bottom, so put a blindfold on him and stick it in her ass and right before make the switch. It ain't rocket science.

Outstanding.

Interesting. I just took Dany being fireproof to mean all Targs were. And then I extrapolated that to Velayrons.

I forgot which book it was in, but there was a passage of a previous Targ king (before Daenerys but after the timeline of the current show) that was convinced he was a dragon reborn and tried to "hatch" himself using wildfire (the green flame stuff) and succeeded only in ending his own life pretty swiftly...which i wouldn't mind being depicted on screen in some future series if im being honest.
 
How did Laena end up with dipshit?

Because they find each other attractive. That's basically all there is to it. They were shown flirting with each other at the Green Wedding in the previous episode.

Why does that one kid not have a dragon?

There were two kids in this episode upset about not having a dragon: Aemond, Viserys and Alicent's second son, and Rhaena, Daemon and Laena's second daughter.

Remember how in the first two episodes Daemon stole the dragon egg that was originally placed in Baelon's cradle? And the scene in this episode wherein Rhaena put her egg in the fire and is then sad when nothing happens?

When a Targaryen baby is born, a dragon egg is placed in his or her cradle, to start bonding the Targaryen with the dragon even before hatching.

The problem is, sometimes the egg never hatches. Then the child has no dragon.

Why does Rhaenyra feel she has to do the Queen’s bidding like screw off bitch?

Queen outranks Princess. Recall the scene at the beginning of episode 3: when Rhaenyra and Alicent gave conflicting orders to the singer, the singer obeyed Alicent.
 
Yep! It's even hinted at in his name:

Larys = Littlefinger + Varys

This is the book readers thread, dumb cunts:

Move on. You've already made your complaint in multiple posts and been answered by multiple posters. That thread is for future plot. Which isn't what is being discussed in this thread.

Beating this dead horse isn't accomplishing anything and isn't going to change what is being discussed. If the discussion bothers you so much, then just stop reading this thread.
 
That was quite an episode with plenty of twists and turns.

Bitches gonna be bitches.

So are you Team Rhaenyra or Team Alicent?

They all suck. Laenor had the right idea. Fuck it. Let's go to Pentos

In the book, the trio of dragon hatching scene, all of the clothing and hair is burned from Daenerys body (although she keeps her hair in film). She's fire/heat resistant.
