  • House of the Dragon Season 2 has finally arrived, and with it comes one of the most notorious moments in the history of Westeros.
    HotD spoilers follow beyond this point!
    In Season 2, Episode 1, "A Son for a Son," Matt Smith’s Daemon hatches the plot that leads to what has been described as the “Red Wedding” of House of the Dragon. After Rhaenyra's son Luke is killed in the Season 1 finale in a dragon chase with Alicent’s boy Aemond, Daemon seeks revenge. And this is what leads to the awful event known by fans of the George R.R. Martin book series as Blood and Cheese.
    With Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) in mourning, he hires a brutal member of the City Watch - that would be Blood - and a ratcatcher - that would be Cheese - to infiltrate the Red Keep. His orders, in the TV version anyway, are to kill Aemond (Ewan Mitchell). But when asked by Cheese what they should do if they can’t find Aemond, Daemon simply stares back at the killer… and the camera cuts to the next scene.
    Indeed, what follows is not the murder of Aemond, but of the child Prince Jaehaerys, the son of Aemond’s brother King Aegon II. We spoke to Smith, D'Arcy, Olivia Cooke (Alicent), and other major members of Team Black and Team Green about this startling and brutal development in the House of the Dragon S2 premiere!

    Does anyone notice when Helaena runs with her daughter in the Red Keep, how empty of guards the place where the royal family sleeps is?
    Cole is the worst kingsguard Lord Commander ever.
    at least in the book, Blood and Cheese had to kill some guards to get into the queen's rooms.

      You have to keep in mind that what they're showing in the series is actually what happened in the reality of the GoT world. What the books describe is biased as it was narrated by characters who were in favor of the Greens and hated Rhaenyra for thinking she, a woman, could ever be Queen and rule over a male-dominated society.
