      hopefully they stick to the book.. I really hope the writers *don't pull a Dorne* in HotD like the writers of GOT did.. they really ruined the Dorne's entire plot by combining characters of Arianna Martell into Ellaria Sand and reducing the Oberyn's bastards into just three, and it got so messed up the writers had to kill off every Dorne characters eventually so fast
      I am worried because Daeron is yet to be seen, and Alicent never seen to be pregnant with fourth child and now Viserys is dying.. and we know Daeron plays big role as well later.. hopefully they don't simply "combine" Aemond and Daeron huhuhu
      I hope you're right that Daeron is being a cupbearer somewhere but his character does exist in this TV version

      I think it's because they have to choose who is best at playing the role rather than their beauty. Like, if you had a beautiful actor but who didn't capture the essence of the character, this would be worse than having a pretty actor who did capture the essence of the character. I mean, look how good Matt Smith is at playing Daemon!
      I really liked Aegon II and Helaena's actors though -- I thought they played the characters really well AND had the looks to match, especially Helaena's actress, who had a kind of ethereal beauty. I think all the Velaryons are quite pretty/ good looking as well, and Rhaenys too. I thoughy Mill Alcock was also quite pretty and had a sort of otherness to her features that made her look Valryian.

    Rhaenyra and Daemon would technically gain the most from the king “dying in his sleep”, since Otto basically has the throne while the king is too ill to rule, I can’t see Rhaenyra offing him, but I could picture Daemon using the tunnels if it means ruling with his wife and keeping his family safe.
    Another thought is the King offing himself, although more unlikely, because of the prophesy.

    @dougjenkinson2422 Před rokem +7

    Rhenerya's line will eventually win out but at a cost that destroys her and her half-brother Aegon II. There is still a lot of Rhenerya's saga left to tell, enough to fill in quite a few seasons if that's what the producers choose to do. This is definitely the high point of the Targaryen history in Westeros and that's why HBO chose it to start with it even though it starts halfway through the book. A lot of the children are going to start coming into play, and Rhenerya has 3 more children by her uncle. The twins (Daemon and Laena's 2 girls) will have an important role later on.

    To everyone saying that Aegon now looks way younger than Aemond, their ages are actually accurate. Aegon's actor is 27 and Aemond's is 20 - they just look younger and older respectively. In the books, Aemond is the warrior who is strong and mature while Aegon is generally pretty weak, so it actually works out.

      no Aemond is the book was always shorter than Aegon. But he was the better fighter and tactician because after he loses his eye, Criston Cole trains him more than his brother. Aemond being shorter is to contrast the character, he looks less intimidating with only 1 eye and being shorter than Aegon but he's actually the more deadly of the two. Aegon is just brutal as a person, kind of like Joffery Baratheon and Robert Baratheon's drunkard late stage mixed into 1.

      Tom Glynn Carney is officially cast as Older Aegon. That's Aegon, not Daeron. Daeron won't be in Season 1, he's off squiring at Oldtown and will likely be introduced in Season 2. He hasn't been cast for season 1. There's 4 blood lines trailing from Alicent in the opening sequence, so he exists.

      Like with Vhagar, Targaryen dragons usually end up either going semi-rogue and leaving until claimed again or remain in the pit (if they can fit, which Sea Smoke could) to be possibly matched in the future (when their riders die). Sea Smoke does come up later in the books (no spoilers) but isn't really seen until that point. In the show, his rider is technically alive so who knows if we'll see Sea Smoke until he's conveniently needed, if he's essentially 'disowned' by Laenor, etc

    Book reader, so SPOLERS about the next episode and beyond below:
    Decided to go back and read what happens next, we're getting very close now, I think Viserys will die either at the end of next episode, or for sure the one after.
    This next episode will have the Seasnakes brother make a claim before the iron throne declaring that since Corlys is close to death (sustains a new injury fighting in the stepstones again), Lucerys is a Strong and Rhaenys is a Targaryean, that he should inherit Driftmark. Viserys cuts out his tongue as promised in the last episode of anyone declaring his grandsons bastards. However, in the book he also cuts his hand on the throne and starts to get really sick, even closer to death (in the show this has happened way earlier though, so maybe some other reason will occur), but essentially, Rhaenyra brings her Maester to court and he's able to save Viserys so they hold a feast in her honor where the Green boys raise a toast to how 'strong' his cousins/nephews are, looks like this leads to a fight in the show, and I think Rhaenyra and Daemon retreat to Dragonstone one final time afterwards. Viserys eventually passes in his sleep (or maybe the showwriters will have something else in store for us).
    Then it's the green council which is the name of episode 9, this council takes place following the kings death, and essentially the Greens make the decision to put Aegon forward as heir and the remaining council members agree, minus lord Beesbury (the dude asking Rhaenyra if he can help her during her walk with baby Joffrey to the queen). He gets killed for his defiance and they sign a blood pact before announcing to the kingdom that the king is dead and Aegon is the new king.
    I think the final episode will be around trying to recruit allies, the Baratheons specifically. The Greens had the advantage since they knew about the kings death first, they sent ravens to all the high lords of Westeros, they end up with the Hightowers, Tyrells, Lannisters, and Baratheons (basically the south and west). The Blacks end up sending envoys to the North, the Eyrie, the Riverlands, and they also try to win the Baratheons, because Rhaenys is half Baratheon half Targaryean (uncrowned queen) and the former head of the house was her close supporter. However his son now rules, and he was open to be persuaded by Aemond who went there to offer himself as a husband to one of his daughters. They come to terms before Lucerys arrives as the Black envoy, where he is confronted by Aemond. The Baratheon lord (his name escapes me) requests that no blood be shed under his roof, but says nothing when Aemond declares he will chase him down, and he does. Aemond gets his revenge for last episode and kills Lucerys, the first royal casualty of the dance of dragons.
    I wonder if they'll include Daemon's response, but I think it's more likely they open next season with it for the shock factor. But if you want the details, essentially he uses his former mistress to hire two assassins, and orders them to kill one of Aegon's sons in response, a son for a son. The worst or best part depending on which team you're on, is that the assassins catch Aegon's wife (Helaena) with all 3 of his children, they force her to choose which one to kill, she chooses the youngest, and they cut off the eldest's head (heir) right in front of all of them instead. She becomes so traumatized by the incident that she is unable to use her dragon later on.

If I was the princess, I'd just have all 3 killed but to do that you gotta have the man power behind you I suppose. Since I would've known this is a possibility, I would've had the king put in law or written that soldiers of the kingdom report to princess upon his death for an orderly transition.

      In our world, monarchs are supposedly chosen by God, so it's not something you retire from it's who you are. That's how they justified it, at any rate. In Martin's world, the Targaryens are "better" than regular people, they're more like gods on earth, or so they claim, and their mastery of dragons makes people believe it. That kind of thinking doesn't lend itself to "I'm getting old, I should retire" thinking. It leads to Daenerys shouting "I am the rightful Queen and I will take what is mine with fire and blood!" entitlement to rule.

    Regarding Driftmarkband the title, another reason to take it from Jace is to keep the Crown from absorbing it.
    The Duke of Edinburgh title is a perfect example. It was Prince Phillip's and they (the Queen and Prince) want it to go to Edward. However the title is officially inherited by the eldest son, who is Prince Charles. Now that Her Majesty has passed, all previous titles King (not Kung, Google) Charles held were absorbed by the crown to be retired (and reused as the monarch saw fit).
    This means King Charles can give the Dukedom to anyone, but will more than likely follow his parents wishes.
    Translating this to the HotD world, If it stayed with Jayce, it would be absorbed into the Westeros crown, meaning ANYONE could become Lord of Driftmark, not just a Veleryion so passing it to Luke bmeans it stays tied to blood (or name at least) vs a King or Quees whim.
    *Edited as I called Prince Phillip King at one point. While he was a "king" of a man, it was not his title and it's hard for the rest of my argument to be taken seriously with such a dumb mistake - just used to saying "King and Queen" that my brain autocorrected.

    Great breakdown and analysis here, even down to costume detail and other production aspects. Yes, it’s possible ‘The Queen Who Never Was’ might have poisoned him😱Alicent and Rhaenyra’s rift doesn’t seem probable
