The way it came off to me was even though Reynera knew her and Damon couldn't be together unless her husband was dead she already had a scene Telling Lanor he was a good man. Even when Damon goes to Laynors boyfriend he just says there are places far away with enough money faces don't matter or something along that line, he never said kill Laynor

[@TaxpayingPatriot]

But when qarl asks what daemon wants from him, daemon says a quick death

You realize they killed an innocent bystander to cover Laenor's escape don't you? This is like Theon killing the two boys and claiming they were Bran and Rickon. This is the elites, including Laenor, not giving a crap some poor schmuck's life.

[@rasheedfraser5680]

yes thats the whole point. Its a show about the elites for the period theyre in. Its literally called game of thrones.

[@kateris1976]

He didn't give a crap about his own parents who had just lost their other child, just because he wanted to "be himself". And I don't believe for one second that they knew of the plan as I saw others commenting.

[@J55S]

@@kateris1976 I agree with you about his parents not knowing about the plan because they wanted him in the marriage, at least his father did. The same consideration Laenor was afforded when he forced into the situation, he gave to get out of it. Of course there are other factors that could be argued but as the saying goes, He is his father's son.

[@kateris1976]

@@J55S I just think that this is clumsy writing, considering how devastated he was by his sister's death. And one day after the funeral he does this?

[@J55S]

@@kateris1976 I agree with that as well. One moment he is proclaiming the world to Rhaenrya and the next with he is with Qarl in a boat ,bald, and bootless. Luke's conversation with Corlys was more than just the I don't want it line.

[@Outerlaw]

In the show they get married in the next scene, not immediately, it still could have been six months or more,

[@stephaniemomma]

Good point!

[@leerhode1021]

Thanks for such a concise breakdown.

[@larissanedelya2452]

Each of those changes actually prove how great the writers of the series are. Some of the scenes allow the director to make more impressive visuals, scenes with more movement in it, while other changes manage to compress the story in order to put all which is needed in the episode. Thumbs up to the writers who clearly respected the original material, but understood that a series is not a book.

[@HalfAsianDerp]

Correct, the book was a good skeleton that left enough open ended and the show writers have smashed it out of the park

[@Akva77]

I also think they learned from the hate Dumb and dumber got from season 8 of GOT maybe🤔

[@rickyandreou]

16:15 🙄 It really wasn't difficult. We were shown two young girls being good friends. An extremely common phenomenon of life. Literally no one besides the usual handful of predisposed sappho shippers who live in their own Twitterverse echo chamber, seriously entertained the narrative of something "more" going on than the straightforward friendship we were briefly shown.

[@thereadingtree3492]

We don't know if Rhaenyra and Daemon married immediately. It's assumed because it was the next scene. this could have taken place six months later.

[@understand-binah]

They had to have time for faking Leanor death and to travel to Dragonstone where they get married. I wonder how much time have passed.

The most interesting difference is that isn the book, Luke slashes Aemond’s right eye and in the series they slashed the left one. I’m here all week, folks

[@nicoletav2708]

I read somewhere some time ago that they had to change it because of the stunts. Probably hand-eye dominance and the effects of depth perception in fighting. Even so, I think it must be very difficult for him with one eye covered considering that there will be problems with judging distances, perceiving depth and tracking moving objects.

[@ferrm1992]

@@nicoletav2708 when you think about it, in the book, Lucerys uses his left arm knife looking up. And in the show he uses his right arm knife looking down. I think that’s where the stunt went hard to do. Anyway I was just trolling lol

I think house of the dragon show will tell more stories than just the dance of dragons. I suspect robert's rebellion will be in the later seasons. Judging by the time jumps, I think the dance of dragons will be over in season 1 or maybe 2 tops!!

It can still work! He can go off and fight and he dies. This is how it's said he has kids (his Dad's kids) and how his dragon ends up taking a new rider. He dies out somewhere fighting.

[@OcarinaSapphr-]

If word doesn't secretly come to Daemon or Rhaenyra that he died offscreen during the 6-yr time-jump- it's going to cause serious continuity & lore problems regarding the dragons, for two important characters during the Dance...

Number 7 is not completely correct. We don't actually know when exactly the wedding happened, I believe there is at least two time jumps in the episode. The Laenor's death and then the wedding. Both didn't happen just right after the another. There was a time in between for sure.

Aegon the conqueror did not ride Vegar. He rode Balerion the black dread.

The narrator didn’t say Aegon the Conquerer rode Vhagar. He said: “the dragon who once helped Aegon in his conquest” {negative 9:30} - meaning the dragon Visenya rode.

Me neither. There is not a need to change anything it is all right there. And also, I think George RR Martin specifically wrote Fire and Blood for this series. So why change it.

@@marksaunders7920 " Recently, Martin was a guest on The History of Westeros podcast (via PopCulture) and revealed he has more "influence" on the prequel series, but still no "control." "Hollywood will give you money a lot easier than they'll give you creative control," Martin said with a laugh. "You can go to negotiations and say 'Yes, I will thank you for paying me 8 million dollars, but I would like creative control as well.' And they will say, 'How about 10 million?' They would rather give millions of dollars than any creative control." "What I do have is influence, I have creative influence," Martin added, "but that depends largely on the relationship between myself and the showrunners and so forth. I mean, I can make points, I can argue and they can listen, but if they decide not to listen, then you know, I can persuade them. I don't have the power to hire or to fire. I don't have the power to dictate things, but what I have, if they listen to me and I can be fairly persuasive and I know this material pretty well, so, there's that something and it's always changing."

How’s that? She’s obviously an adulterer given her kids clearly aren’t Laenors. Hell, at least pick a golden(blond) haired guy to inseminate you? Don’t make it so obvious. She also screws Christian Cole, which the book leaves ambitious that she lost her maidenhood. She also acts like a petulant brat all the time her father’s trying to assist her choosing her own spouse. She engages in this weirdo blood ceremony on the beach with Daemon, which frankly made me wonder about her sanity? Frankly, I think she collectively leans toward ‘c>nt’ on the show. On the other hand, Alicent remains close to innocent still by resisting pushing her children to the throne accession or acting un-dignified until, of course, that single incident with the knife. Oh, her behavior with Larys does start to lean shady. Frankly, I don’t think anyone will be remembered as being civilized when all is said and done. The person who eventually sits unfettered on the throne is so racked with PTSD and is a partial ‘head-case’, it makes the entire conflict even worse!
