George R.R. Martin Already Revealed The Truth About Otto Hightower's Death | House of the Dragon S2

[@chadharrison19]

The actor that plays Otto is probably the best actor on that set. He plays that part so well!!!

Six, if you count Lord Stark, who is going to strategically swoop in just as the whole war is coming to an end, and basically mend everything back together again. At least in the book that's what he does. lol

[@Elnont]

Rhys Ifans is a powerhouse and I have a feeling Otto’s death is being changed. He’s been absent most season and I think he’ll be used to introduce Dearon. I hope he’s around longer anyway, Rhys Ifans is the GOAT.

I think it might be changed, and Otto survive for a while longer. They seemed to be hinting at a bit of a Young Griff situation, and having Otto act as a guide to Prince Daeron.

[@twistedelegance_]

Nah but you're half right. Since they have faced budget cuts they have merged season 2 with season 3 (RIP to any amazing footage that has been already shot). This means Otto's demise happens in Season 3 episode 1. Otto will plead with Team Black to jump on their side but will be rejected. Only one person will be spared.

So, about Aegon; from the way Larys interacted with him in the latest episode in his bed; I have a feeling that he'll be the one sneaking Aegon out of the Red Keep, or King's Landing while Rhaenyra takes the Iron Throne. As to where they'd be hiding, I guess we'll find out in the next season. I could be wrong, because I'm not a book reader.

[@crinklescat1871]

@@nupsi13que😂😂😂 you are spot on about all of this. I’m a book reader by the way, but we’re all looking forward to where they go to hide! Assuming the show keeps that because they’ve changed so much from the books though.

[@soulsharts]

We don't find out where Aegon is hiding until close to the ending of the "dance" part of the dance of dragons. There's plenty that happens in the aftermath, but who knows how far the show is going to take the book and how much of it they're changing. I agree with you that it's likely Larys that helps Aegon sneak away from what they show in the series, but the book didn't specify how he evaded, only that the blacks took King's Landing to find Aegon gone IIRC.

[@crinklescat1871]

@@soulsharts I thought the book confirmed that he was helped by the clubfoot? I need to do a reread of just the dance because really the regency interests me more as does the first part of the book like the initial conquest and all of that history like the first I ever read of the dance was the princess and the queen. But I mean, he expanded on that a lot lol.

The final shot will be Rhaenyra seated on the Iron Throne. A closeup shot of her face, then you see the crown, then the room with everyone bending a knee.

[@extraplain2412]

I reckon Otto will return to Kings Landing in episode 8 and assure Alicent that everything will be okay only for Rhaenyra and Daemon to attack. After they've captured the keep I hope Otto begs for the life of his daughter showing his true nature as a good man before Daemon executes him. It'll make his death quite tragic and hint at the ruthlessness of Rhaenyra going forward.

[@rec-reation9620]

Otto Hightower is not a good man lol, hes a big part of causing the civil war all so his own blood will be on the throne.

[@zsht]

It will probably end with Rhaeyra sitting on the iron throne, then cutting to either her palm bleeding or Aegon being smuggled away.

[@samalvey8168]

Good riddance to that traitor. Otto betrayed his king and usurped his throne in order to secure his legacy and, in a way, he did. He became the go-to example of how NOT to act as Hand of the King and all the good work he did do was overshadowed by his later actions so he's remembered as little more than an overmighty, ambitious, grasping snake.

[@InsanelyGhostly]

They will end it with Daemon leaving Harrenhal

[@Michael59197]

The Fall of King's Landing will be the final episode. Larys will save Aegon. Otto will probably be beheaded, because he is the architect of the coup in Rhaenyra's eyes and was always against her. And what would he do if he was imprisoned and survived for the final season? That's what I think.

I think itll take more than 2 episodes to get all the dragonseed stories done. Id love to see a final scene in the vale of Rhaena seeing a sheep tied to a tree and sheepstealer comes down, roasts and eats it, then the door to a small hut or house opens.

[@MrHazz111]

As far as I know, there's no evidence that the Battle of the Gullet or Rhaneyra's King's Landing seize will be in the final episode. Which makes me really wonder what the finale will be about. They need two banger final episodes if they want casual fans to wait two more years. We're getting the sowing of the seeds and the other on ground wars, but what else?

[@mbranche4234]

Lary's Bees should have told him that Aemond has a dislike for Strongs. Harrenhall should be clinging to Daemon for security even though he is acting crazy.

[@reek3654]

Lary's Bees don't have access to Aemonds thoughts. Any public outburst towards House Strong is known by Lary's. It's not possible he is unaware of Aemond calling Lule and Jace bastards before they took his eye, he was in Driftmark when it happened. He also has to know about Aemonds taunts at the dinner table. Aemond even asked Lary's how he can trust him when he first became regent. Lary's knows Aemond doesn't like the Strongs.

He did also supposedly reveal the end of Rhaenyra, supposed to be fed to a dragon that is already dead.

[@rodrigomadera3048]

Sunfyre is not dead. Cole said he left a garrison of men to guard both the castle and the King's Dragon. He said "Sunfyre was long in the dying" meaning the dragon was taking too much time to die so he could not wait anymore and just left him, thinking it surely would die sooner or later, but we know that against all odds, Sunfyre does recovers enough to move and even fly again. Rhaenyra, or the poeple that got the information for her probably had the same wrong information as Cole.

[@aleksanderpopov5060]

I think you are getting too ahead a bit. We will not see Otto's end until season 3 or 4, there is still so much that needs to happen. Ser Crispin goes first by the wolfs and the fishes hands.

What do you think of the final shot on this season finale? will it be the fall of Kingslanding with Rhaenyra sitting on the iron throne with Daemon on her side or Daemon and Rhaenerya together flying on their dragons approaching Kingslanding and accompanying them are the dragon seeds Vermithor, Silverwing, Sea smoke and Sheepstealer! 🐉🔥🐲 Could be a final shot in the garden of Harrenhall?

I think what the show is saying vis-a-vis the reliability of the source material is that one version is the church’s take, another is the intellectual elite’s take, and the third is a perverted fool’s take. None of these versions will be necessarily honest in their depictions of females. So perhaps none of the versions are completely accurate.
