It's not exactly a spoiler to point out that HotD Season 1 shows the Targaryens near the height of their power while GoT shows largely the opposite.

Rhaenys Targaryen from the Black trailer for HotD Season 2.

Rhaenys seems to be getting the best lines in the S2 trailers.

If this continues during the season, we might conclude that the Queen Who Never Was is the Queen Who Should Have Been.

Harry Collett (Jacaerys Velaryon) and Elliot Grihault (Lucerys Velaryon) at Marvel DC Plus Comic Con in Birchington (east of the Thames Estuary in England) on May 21st.

Yes, Elliot has gotten notably taller since Season 1 was filmed.

Harry and Elliot ran into a familiar face (or should I say “faceless”) at the event.

A man can imagine all the fan speculation that is bound to set in motion.

Though I don’t think Faceless Men like Jaqen H’ghar have extended lifespans like Red Priests/Priestesses. So it doesn’t seem likely we’ll be seeing Jaqen in HotD.

Matt Smith spoke with the Los Angeles Times about Daemon Targaryen. He's particularly insightful on the way Daemon and brother Viserys relate to each other.

“There’s a lot going on with his brother that he’s coming to terms with,” says Smith, who noted that scenes with Considine really helped him define the character. “Viserys ostensibly brought him up, and for Daemon it’s either try to piss him off or impress him.” So it’s more Freudian than just plain pervy when Daemon corrupts, and almost seduces, underage Rhaenyra? Or is he truly in love with her, as it often seems? After all, Daemon even marries Rhaenyra years later (when she’s played by Emma D’Arcy); typically, he murders at least one of his other wives in the interim. “Well, in the land of the Targaryens, it’s more commonplace to be with your immediate family,” Smith explains with a slightly nervous laugh. “I think he’s quite a solitary creature, really. But he’s also quite a political one. There’s a sense that his brother and Rhaenyra particularly, are the two people he would go to war for. It’s like he’s got this very weird sense of loyalty. To him, sometimes he’s doing the right thing even when he’s really doing the wrong thing.”

Matt had to get lessons on how to be a proper Targaryen.

Much more than locating the man inside the monster went into creating Daemon. It takes the better part of each morning to get the Targaryen clan’s identifying silvery-blond, chest-length wigs on just so. There were lessons in horsemanship and broadsword handling. Smith also learned multiple dialects of Valyrian, the Latin-like language Westeros nobles use among themselves, which he often employed to bring out Daemon’s more thoughtful dimensions. And of course, there was dragon riding. Daemon has his own flying fire-breather: Caraxes the Blood Wyrm. “They built this huge plinth that you have to get up on, then they move you around by remote control,” Smith says of the dragon rig. “Last year, they did it on a volume stage, which is like a reality stage [it surrounds actors with immersive sky visuals as opposed to blank bluescreens]. It’s quite high in the air and it’s like a bucking bronco, essentially. You’re sitting on what looks like a massive motorcycle, a low-slung Harley-Davidson.”

Like many GoT and HotD characters, Daemon is complex. A word Matt Smith often associates with Daemon is chaos.

“Daemon sort of thrives on chaos. There’s an element of him that’s walking on a tightrope made of glass, and he loves that he could fall off at any time. He operates on his own sort of strange and often violent plane. But to him, the violence is not gratuitous. He’s not doing it clumsily, he’s doing it with purpose and precision. Now, whether that’s right or wrong is for other people to debate.”

ICYMI, a script for an apparently deleted scene from HotD S01E10 Involving Rhaenyra Targaryen and Jacaerys Velaryon. While not officially confirmed, it makes lots of sense in the context of the episode.

If Rhaenyra was having any reservations about going to war, they disappeared when she got news that Luke had been devoured by Aemond's dragon Vhagar.

That deleted scene in the context of the end of the episode does seem to boost Jace's cred. So in Season 2 Jace's counsel might be taken more seriously by Rhaenyra.

Respect to images originator @darksvster.

Welsh actor Rhys Ifans is a lot more than Otto Hightower. Off camera he's one of the funniest people on the House of the Dragon set.

He's a passionate supporter of Wales. He recently gave an impromptu patriotic pep talk to the Welsh team before a Euro 2024 play-off.

As for Wales, House Hightower may not be blood of the dragon, but the flag of Wales does include a dragon.

HBO-MAX has released six House of the Dragon posters for Season 2. In addition to the one of Rhaenyra above, here's one of Aemond.

^^^ A strong pose.

See all six here.

«ALL MUST CHOOSE»

They are committed to a S2 premiere in June but as I type this I haven't seen a specific date.

Why Team Black is in the right.

Something that was pointed out in the vid: Aegon II came to power by means of a coup – albeit a palace coup.

Daemon as a character is not way out of the norm in ASoIaF.

We've seen good people who sometimes do bad things and bad people who sometimes do good things. And there's a lot of ambiguity in between.

One of the reasons Game of Thrones struck a chord was that its characters tended to be less cartoonish. It wasn't all saints vs. orcs.

As for Daemon's popularity, it certainly helps that Matt Smith is brilliant in his portrayal of him.

«She's like a woman for Trump.»

— Olivia Cooke telling EW last year how showrunners Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik described Queen Alicent Hightower to her.

Not being a fan of the House Trump, Ms. Cooke tried to find other ways to get into the head of her character.

"I just didn't want to give them any more mental real estate than they already had," the actress says of that particular family. "So I tried to find a different route into her, but I could see what they were saying with this complete indoctrination and denial of her own autonomy and rights. I just couldn't be asked to go down that road."

« It's a really different season. I think the audience will be very surprised. I don't think whatever you're expecting to happen is what will and that definitely applies to Criston. »

— Fabien Frankel quoted at Man About Town about Season 2 of House of the Dragon.

So does that mean Ser Criston Cole will suggest to Alicent Hightower that the two of them elope to Essos? 😛
