Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon are both big shows in their own right and they also share a universe. The golden question we are answering in this post is whether the original show needs to be viewed before the new one. The answer to that is no. You do NOT need to …
Dowager Queen Alicent has been through a lot it seems to get her son Aegon on the Iron Throne. She realises now that the Green Council won’t accept a woman sitting as regent. While she has no claim to the Iron Throne herself, Alicent did sit as regent as her husband, Viserys, was getting sicker. …
What is going on with Aemond and Alicent? In the most recent episode of House of the Dragon, ‘The Red Dragon and the Gold’, we got two surprises we were not expecting from Team Green. The first is that the Dowager Queen is seen drinking Moon Tea while her youngest son, tries to take out …
I am not the first to say that Dowager Queen Alicent and Ser Criston Cole are hypocrisy goals. They have no self-control when it comes to the lust they have for each other. However, what makes me roll my eyes so hard they almost fall out of my head is how they slammed Rhaenyra for …
House of the Dragon is back for its second outing and it’s beginning in a brutal fashion. After the death of Queen Rhaenyra’s son, Lucerys, at the hands of his Uncle Aemond, his stepfather/great-uncle, Daemon, proposes revenge. He sends two assassins, known only as Blood and Cheese, to go after his murderous nephew. Of course, …
No one could have predicted the sexual relationship between Dowager Queen Alicent and Criston Cole in House of the Dragon Season 2’s premiere. What’s more is this uncharted territory as it never happened in the book, Fire and Blood, on which the show is based. To add to the confusion, when did this start? We …
House of the Dragon is returning to our screens, but some fans might not know it is based on a book. What book is that, you might ask? That book is Fire and Blood. It stands out from the other Game of Thrones books because it does not use character perspectives like the other books. …
Promotional material has started to drop for House of the Dragon Season 2, and Rhaenyra and Alicent are about to face off. From a close friendship that was as close as siblings to betrayals and blackmail (mostly from The Dowager Queen’s horrid father, Otto Hightower) the two warring Queens will be out for blood during …
Hollywood is failing. We’re into month three of the writer’s strike and two months into the actor’s strike. However, woke culture plays a prominent role in this disastrous downfall. It gives off so many ick-factor vibes. So, the downfall of Hollywood has to have been going on well before the pandemic. Projects were beginning to …
July was an odd month as we were still soldiering through Fire and Blood. We had to add something to our reads of 2023, so we read the Harry Potter prequel story on Muggle Net. Going into August, we started getting behind on Goodreads, so we read the first screenplay for the Fantastic Beasts films. …
We’ve finally finished reading Fire and Blood, the unreliable textbook about the Targaryen dynasty from Aegon the Conqueror to Aegon III. However, the book also explores themes that even its sequels in the Game of Thrones series of books and the television series covers. In this post, we’re going to explain what these themes are. …
Many stories of fiction are contrived from aspects of reality. One trope that pops up in the fantasy genre is incest. Also known as inbreeding, many tales, such as the worlds created by George R.R. Martin (Westeros) and J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter), have dove into this a lot in their works. It has also been …
House of the Dragon is a few months away from completing filming on its second season. For those who mightn’t be aware, the series is adapted from the inaccurate history book, Fire and Blood, released in 2018. However, the series only covers the lead-up to the Dance of Dragons, the war between the blacks (Rhaenyra) …
Daenerys Targaryen might be the Mother of Dragons in Game of Thrones, but did you know she was married during the show’s first season? Her husband was Khal Drogo, a Dothraki warlord. He had no issues with murdering people and raping women as he did with his wife. Drogo’s name was taken from the name …
Our current read is Fire and Blood by George R.R. Martin, the prequel novel to the famous books that inspired the hit HBO series, Game of Thrones. We recently reviewed what we’d read so far in the “historical tome” written about the Targaryen dynasty. But there is more to this. Since we’ve watched House of …
It’s no secret that House of the Dragon is one the most significant shows to hit HBO since Game of Thrones ended. But where did the lore come from if it didn’t come from the same books? That’s where Fire and Blood comes in. Fire and Blood is formatted as a history book told by …
Matt Smith will always be Doctor Who to science fiction fans. However, in George R.R. Martin’s Westeros, he is the infamous Daemon Targaryen, the brother of Viserys I Targaryen and the uncle-husband of Rhaenyra Targaryen. In House of the Dragon, Smith’s character is one of those who have an agenda that doesn’t always align with …
Who was the Mad King?
The Ahsoka panel at Star Wars Celebration Europe gave a few surprising reveals while not confirming certain things that have come out in recent months. At the same time, there may be a reason why this might’ve been. That’s what we’re going to cover here. Many sources in this post are usually credible, but no …
Never mess with a mother in Westeros. The following season of House of the Dragon won’t drop until 2024. Still, we can only speculate what is coming for Rhaenyra Targaryen, her uncle-husband Daemon, and their allies in Season 2. We will also be jumping back and forth between Team Black and Team Green as we’ll …
A look at Targaryen marriage.
Are Aegon and Aemond the faces of the Greens or just pure trouble?
Absolutely more gentlemen.
Is Daemon Targaryen good, bad or in-between?
Will Aemond have to face Rhaenyra’s wrath over Luke’s death?
