What are you looking forward to most in Season 2 of #HouseOfTheDragon ?

[@Dr.DragonSeed]

Conversation of cregan and Jacaerys.

[@b4thedragonpod]

@@Dr.DragonSeed Good choice!

[@anthonywarren9885]

You gotta do a better job kid

[@b4thedragonpod]

@@anthonywarren9885 Who? Me? I will try! Thanks for watching! :)

[@MrSecretweapon174]

Im conflicted with how i feel about that upcoming battle. Rhaenys is the most down to earth character. To see her die so horribly is tragic, yet at the same time she went down swinging. I will raise a cup for her

[@b4thedragonpod]

I will raise a cup for her as well!

[@ashtton_tapiwa]

I'm convinced Rook's rest will be either penultimate episode or last. Taking of Kingslanding will be the big event for S3. Then the last season will feature God's Eye battle

[@b4thedragonpod]

Interesting! Gotta work the Gullet in there too (that's gotta be a S3 thing)! Thanks for your thoughts and for watching! :)

[@NightWolfNym]

Double L was a great switch up to surprise the readers once, but it would feel like a cheat to keep doing it. Rook’s Rest is going to be epic and hurt! Criston Cole is always a 🤬🤬🤬

[@b4thedragonpod]

Agreed on all!

[@DragonIsNotASlave]

Nice jab at Stannis.

[@b4thedragonpod]

Thanks for checking us out!

[@alcestia2934]

This battle and the Daemon/Aemon battle are the things I've looked forward to the most since they announced they were making this show. I just hope they do both battles justice and give them satisfying ends.

[@b4thedragonpod]

Great Choices!

[@Dr.DragonSeed]

Good details..👍

[@b4thedragonpod]

Thanks for watching!

[@brucemilburn8896]

I really like your theatrical video 😊

[@b4thedragonpod]

Thanks for watching!

[@CrayZTracy]

Exactly why TF would you show up alone like come on now how dum is that and let's say rhaenyra did excuse herself from the war room that was seriously the wrong move especially being the first battle wrong timing for allowing the stress to win smh

[@b4thedragonpod]

I know right? Not good decisions!

[@matthewmurdick]

Rooks are birds... correct?

[@carrorallison7656]

And also a popular card game

[@user-iv2iu2wf4w]

Or chess pieces
