We don't know if she has machinations for the throne, but she still has legitimate claim. That's good, though, because they have enough problems within the family.įirst, there is Rhaenys Targaryen, still referred to as "The Queen Who Never Was" by some of the citizens of the realm for how she was overlooked in the line of succession for Viserys. In this era, the Targaryen's have firmly been in control of the Iron Throne for more than 100 years and there is no other indication that any other family or House is vying for it. In "Game of Thrones," much of the battle for who would sit upon the Iron Throne happened within the Lannister family, but there were also other Houses of Westeros in that battle, and we all know how that turned out (best to forget, if we're honest). Maisie Williams Was Shocked to Find Out Arya Stark Wasn't Gay on Game of Thrones These tiny details go a long way in immersing us believable into this world. King's Landing does like brighter, more vibrant and cleaner than it will in 172 years time, but it still has dirt and rocks along the corridors, and clear signs of wear and usage, as to the clothing of even the finest royals. Unlike criticism levied at more recent epic fantasy's, like Amason's "The Wheel of Time," "House continued "Thrones'" tradition of a meticulous attention to details, and making sure that things looked real and lived in. That time was notable even in the visuals of this series. That set the stage for the next generation of deception and ambition as the narrative quickly jumped forward nine years, also letting us know that this is 172 years before Daenerys' birth. Who he neglected was the eldest in line, Rhaenys, because she was a woman. That meat sits after Viserys Targaryen ascends to the throne peacefully after his uncle Jaehaerys announced that he would be officially named his heir, in an effort to try and avoid outright war.

There is a hint of Daenerys Targaryen to come in that opening narration, and there is a hint of the epic war to come in the original series, but those are just asides to the meat of this story.
GAME OF THRONES IRON THRONE SVG SERIES
HBO Developing Game of Thrones-Jon Snow Sequel Series with Kit HaringtonĪ good spinoff, or prequel in this case, needs to stand on its own, and certainly "House of the Dragon" does that. Fans of the book series have some sense of where this story might be going, but what makes this premiere so effective is that it's just as gripping if you know nothing of what is to come - or even anything of the predecessor series. There is very little actual magic going on, aside from talk of prophetic dreams and, of course, the existence of multiple massive flying beasts.īut those moments aside, we're again dealing with the political machinations and ambitions of people vying for the Iron Throne. Like early "Thrones," this episode starts more like a medieval drama that just happens to have dragons in it. In place of traditional credits, we got the kind of narrative exposition that die-hard "Lord of the Rings" fans can quote from "The Fellowship of the Ring." It was effective in quickly getting fans new and old up to speed in this world. There were no epic opening credits for this premiere, but we've been promised they do exist and will be coming. The show isn't ashamed of its "Thrones" legacy, either, utilizing the same theme song notes throughout the episode, and a variation as its closing credits.
