One thing that people forget about Lucerys is that with no body being found, Rhaenyra could not cremate him with a traditional Targaryen funeral...

[@rubbish_kat]

my theory for why Danny and crew never made saddles for the dragons is that they didn't have any dragon handlers around to do the saddling and unsaddling. It would be incredibly difficult for Danny to have done it on her own and how many other people were around that would have been safe and comfortable doing that job without fear of becoming a dragon snack? In HOT D the dragon handlers are highly trained and have entire buildings, gear and tools designed to help them manage the dragons, and I think that includes saddling and unsaddling them. Danny and her team ain't got none of that. Sure, they could have made a saddle, but how and who is gonna put the saddle on the dragon?

It’s fascinating what you said about Viserys being the one to say that Targaryens don’t control the dragons because he had Balerion, maybe bonding with the oldest most powerful dragon in the world gave him that insight? Or maybe the Targaryens can control the dragons but he couldn’t control Balerion, which led him to believe it was impossible.

[@wolf-xf6hf]

Maybe but he always talks about Balerion like they had a really good relationship and that he was heartbroken when balerion died so I read that as more of a loving admittance that the dragon riders cant control dragons. Kind of the sake vibes as like friend you really like but occasionally does something fucked up and you are like yea thats just balerion. He can be a mess sometimes

[@fitzofpassion]

I was reading about the helmet adornments (years ago during the GoT heyday), and they were used almost exclusively at tourneys and were made of something distinctly breakable like plaster of Paris. Otherwise they would be something to grab onto and wrench your opponents neck with. Written records of them exist, but no actual examples, because they were designed to be impermanent. (PS, I know that Westeros and our real world medieval Europe are two different places. I’m just talking about the inspiration.)

[@Blueeyesthewarrior]

That's really cool to know! Makes total sense, especially since it would be extremely expensive to have two separate helmets.

[@nodiggity9472]

Nearly all the armour and weapons are designed around medieval examples. My main gripe though, is that the main characters almost never wear their helms in battle.

[@zenebean]

It makes sense you would have a basic helmet practically made and just add stuff on top. Just chip that stuff off when you actually need to go to war

Its more likely the hightowers and oldtown have a glass candle rather than alicent having dragon dreams. Also could alicent be on the Isle of Faces. Cuz george told them about Aegons dream could we see the threat of the walkers and the apocalypse play a role in the decisions we see

[@DeLtA8042]

[@Ssweis23]

We may not see Daeron until the Green army from Oldtown mobilizes, which they could delay until S3, but to not have an intro to him before then seems odd.

[@dromankass8655]

I like the idea that while her three old children all have sliver hair, young Daeron has dark hair, and looks exactly like Prince Jace. This is the reason he's been swiftly moved to Old Town and not seen at court very much. Basically at that funeral event on Driftmark when King Visiry mistook Alicant for his former wife Aemma, she got rather frustrated, and made use of Ser Criston Cole to relieve 16 years of pent up frustrations (I mean why not, she knows he's already done with for the Princess). So the irony is that Cole is the father of both Jace and Daeron, who are both brave daring boys that rise to command in difficult circumstances, but are on opposite sides of the war.

[@pandepanda31]

​@@dromankass8655but then daeron will not be able to ride a dragon at all if he's cole bastard

[@dromankass8655]

@@pandepanda31 Hmm, good point. In the books he can ride a dragon, but I see your point that if he didn't have any dragon blood on either side, he shouldn't be able to. Though Nettles, Hard Hugh Hammer, Wilf the Sot and Adam Velaryon could all ride dragons, and although it's claimed that they all must be 'dragon seeds' and have some blood of the dragon, that is never proven, and perhaps common people can ride dragons and the idea that you must have the blood of the dragon is just a lie of the rulers. It's not like many got a chance. Also if the Hightowers are also from an ancient older line of dragonriders, from when their fort was Battle Isle with dragons roosting there, it would be from them on his mother's side that Daeron gets his dragon blood.

[@guccifer764]

@@dromankass8655 You’re forgetting the many hundreds of other smallfolk who tried and died to tame dragons. The idea that a Cole bastard _coincidentally_ had the super-rare ability to tame a dragon which was absolutely necessary to fit in with the Targs is kind of a longbow. It’s Time Travelling Tyrion levels of tinfoil and doesn’t add as much as you think it does.

I'd like to mention that because the founder of House Baratheon was likely a Targaryen bastard that having Robert on the throne meant that a Targaryen was still in power, thus fulfilling the prophecy.

[@earl_gay]

seconding the desire for a novella on the Lannisters- honestly I'd love 3,one from the POV of each of the siblings, at slightly different times that were more relevant to them.

[@laurenbastin8849]

tbh the double match was arguably the only offer that would please both Corlys and Rhaenys; Corlys cares first and foremost about the Velaryon name on the Iron Throne (and Driftmark, to a lesser extent) but with Laenor dead he would also want to further secure his access to power by way of that name - meanwhile, Rhaenys only cares about Laena’s daughters inheriting driftmark (and Vaemond’s claimed argument was that he wanted Velaryon blood on the driftwood throne). With all these conflicts rife within house Velaryon, itself the only major ally Rhaenyra had at that time, the double match was arguably the only solution which appealed to all factions, and even then it didn’t fully work when Vaemond grew too fixated on succeeding Corlys

It's not weird that Daeron doesn't show up in season 2. His role in Fire & Blood doesn't start until events we won't see until season 3. So season 3 is where they should introduce him. Of course, unlike season 1, season 2 should MENTION him. Maybe have Alicent talk to Otto or someone about being worried about him all the way in Oldtown. But the Battle of the Honeywine won't happen until, at the very earliest, the first few episodes of season 3. And he does absolutely nothing beforehand.
