House of the Dragon Season 1 Episode 1 breakdown. In-depth recap & review of “The Heirs of the Dragon” with the ending explained. Please subscribe! 👉 bit.ly/PetePeppers
HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel series is here and the season 1 premiere was a promising start. Episode 1 brought us back to Westeros nearly 200 years before the events of the original series. It’s a time when the Targaryen family is at the height of its power, and King Viserys I (Paddy Considine) is hoping to have his first male child with his wife Aemma. He needs an heir to solidify the line of succession because his small council, and especially his hand Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans), is worried that his younger brother Daemon (Matt Smith) might take over if something goes wrong.
By the end of the first episode all of his plans have fallen through and he decides to name his daughter Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock) the Princess of Dragonstone making her his heir. This goes against the decision of the Council of 101 where king Jaehaerys I let his lords decide who would be his heir. They passed over his eldest descendant Rhaenys (Eve Best), to choose his eldest male descendent Viserys.
Episode 101: “The Heirs of the Dragon”
Directed by Miguel Sapochnik
Written by Ryan J. Condal
Original Air Date August 21, 2022
Official Synopsis: Viserys hosts a tournament to celebrate the birth of his second child. Rhaenyra welcomes her uncle Daemon back to the Red Keep.

I liked how they were talking about her being the heir in front of the Black Dread’s skull, and you still see the mark he left on Harrenhall when the episode opens there. I’m curious to see what the opening credits sequence looks like since they decided not to include it with this week’s episode. Let me know what you think. Are you ready to go back to Westeros?

1. 1 big thing is that otto hightower in the books supported the war against the tri-alliance he helped fund it with money. 2. really wished for mushroom. 3. daemon quote its high likely it was taken out of contest--- or never happened in the books. 4.the half asian atcress she's supposed yo be Valyrian distinct and a dancer not a proustite.

15:05 You're a demonstrating your bias When you say the story was not really your favorite How can we trust your reviews and your analysis now when we know that you don't like the story and you're going to be critical of any changes from the book but yet you don't like the book How can we trust your reviews?

@hollycooper7177 Год назад

I really liked it. I thought they did a great job bringing us back to Westeros, but in a different century. Kings Landing looked familiar yet different. I think it's going to be a fun series!

@PetePeppers1 Год назад

I'm saying that as a big fan of the stories. It wasn't one of my favorite choices to make into an adaptation. Not sure why my being truthful about that would cause you to mistrust what I say about the show. I don't think it's an uncommon opinion either.

As someone who read the GOT books and watch the show but has not read the source material for House of the Dragon: I really liked the first episode and thought an excellent job was done by the writers and editors in slowly bringing us back to Westeros. It wasn’t until the final minutes of the episode did we feel like “okay, now we’re back in this world.”

@likeskaplaybass Год назад

I also read books/ watched the show and have not read Fire and Blood. I thought the episode was good enough to keep me watching but I can't say I am excited at this point. The only compeling character is Matt Smith's Deamon. The visuals are up to snuff and way better looking than anything we have seen of Rings of Power.

@twstf8905 Год назад

Remember, we had season upon season in this world where absolute horrors were being depicted in virtually every episode lol from Theon's torture at the hands of Ramsay Bolton, to Harrenhal being shown as a massive ancient ruin used primarily, at the moment, for torture and depravity. Every single episode I can recall, at one point or another, saying; "Jeezus! Can't [this character] catch a friggin' break already?!" 😁 Whether it was Arya, being captured and mistaken for a boy made to sleep in the mud in a cage, or burned bodies of children being strung up at Winterfell, or all of the disgusting terrors taking place at Craster's Keep, beyond the Wall. We went from highlight to highlight like the battle of Blackwater bay to the Red Wedding to John Snow "undercover" with the Wildlings before having to fight against them at Castle Black, without anything even resembling relief in-between! The introduction and fleshing out of new horrendous characters, and witnessing what even the most seemingly unimportant ones were capable of, doing even to the more important characters, or so we thought lol a band of Bolton men chopping Jaime Lannister's hand off, or multiple seasons of everyone believing we'd see Caitlin Stark reunited with her children once again, only to see her murdered unceremoniously by old Walder Frey! And that's all without even mentioning what we had to watch Daenerys going through, across the narrow sea. My point is; This world that George R.R. Martin created is quite typically an extremely difficult place for even the most seemingly "secure" characters to survive! And, there was a reason we all tuned in every week lol because we needed to see what would happen next, because that balance of power was so precarious most of the time there really was no telling which one would be ahead or which one gone forever, week to week! If they're trying to get everyone submerged back in all over again, they've got a TON of heavy lifting to do, even with George R.R. Martin right there helping them, for it to have any chance of being anywhere near as compelling. But, I'm hopeful. 🤞

@keykilla78 Год назад

Agreed. It was that constant feeling that ever structure and power dynamic in GoT was a house made of cards just waiting to fall apart on itself that made it so absolutely intense and utterly suspenseful. I hope they bring that intensity back in full swing. The first episode came off as really strong, for me at least. If they can keep this momentum going they have the chance to produce another masterpiece. Hopefully with a better ending, too, which I know is a horse that's already been beaten to a pulp. Still, though, that was what made the ending feel so weak - the main characters started to feel like typical protagonists with little to no chance of actually dying, and it ended up feeling more like a traditional good vs. evil with good prevailing.

i found your Recap & Reviews via Better Call Saul (which btw, absolutely awesome. looked forward to your videos after every episode. and thank you for that in-depth content). i really enjoy your Breakdowns, and think theyd be helpful with House of Dragons. With you knowing the book knowledge, you can help elaborate where its needed and have an idea of what not to say [spoil]. Plus, Game of Thrones is such a vast world and history, so your Breakdowns would serve as a great reminder of things they may allude to from the first series of GoT that we as the viewers may have forgotten or missed. With that said, do what you gotta do. I appreciate your content quite a bit and honestly dont ever hop on RU-vid for this kinda stuff.

@stealth11 Год назад

Great review. I really enjoyed the first episode. It had a bit of a darker and foreboding tone to it than I had anticipated. As a book reader I didn't really like the tie in with the Targaryens passing along the warning of "A Song of Ice and Fire." It felt a bit forced. My favorite scene was Daemon telling Viserys that he was weak and needed his help. The visuals of the meeting served to confirm his claim because Viserys chose to meet Daemon in the throne room. It was as if he needed all the trappings of his position to have the strength to stand up to him. Promising start to this story.

@stealth11 Год назад

@@cybele_mullejz Yes, and the thing is that Daemon's biggest problem is that he hasn't gotten the respect and consideration he feels he deserves from his brother. If Viserys was a bit more intuitive and secure he would've recognized that Daemon offering to be his Hand would be a good thing for him. Daemon is the perfect counterbalance and willing to play the bad cop role. Instead he foolishly trusts a snake like Otto Hightower .

Love your videos! I look forward to your show reviews.

Personally I need to brush up on what was said about the past events, in GOT, but I hope nothing in these reviews will spoil any future episodes. The main thing I’m excited to see, that was talked about in GOT, is the Dance of the Dragons. Can’t wait to tune in next week!

@i.turner9841 Год назад

Great recap of an excellent first episode. Thanks for all the detail and observation. Something I noticed that surprised me - the dragons are decked out in saddles! Remembering how Daenerys has to hang on to the back of her dragon, it was interesting to see these special saddles that make riding a dragon so much easier. I wonder why Daenerys didn't have one made for her dragon. Maybe that detail wasn't remembered 172 years later? The second thing - I am a dragonholic. I watch anything with dragons, and I first came to GOT for the dragons before falling in love with the entire storyline. I think the dragons look kind of cartoonish and puny in this opening episode. And I was hoping for a shot of 10 dragons in the air. Didn't happen. But enjoyed it and I'm excited to see what happens next. Thanks for your excellent recap and I look forward to seeing others.

Like your break down. Hope you keep going with it. Personally I really liked the "vision" message he gave to Rhaenyra. Makes me think that the message was handed all the way down to Rhaegar and then the secret was lost when Robert killed him. Nobody in the 7 kingdoms believed until it was upon them thus no planning could occur. Overall I was very happy with episode 1. The laying the ground work of characters is nice although there was a part of me that really loved the fact the original series just threw you into the pool and for pretty much the entirety of season 1 I referred to characters by their appearance or actions. It's got a lot to live up to but if episode 1 is any indication it should be a great series. I have to say though being "back in this world" really makes me miss all those characters.

I would definitely watch your episode breakdowns of HotD 👍

@meowbacca5624 Год назад

Started watching your Expanse recaps, then Raised by Wolves. I hope your HotD recaps find enough of an audience that you continue them. I don’t read the books and find your recaps the perfect level of detail and insight for somebody who doesn’t care too much about some deviation from the source material.

Please continue!

@PetePeppers1 Год назад

I hope to. Haha, I'll be spending the same amount of time thinking about the show either way.

Even if it's not a big hit, I hope you continue making videos about this You've read the books, which I cannot. And you're excellent at picking up things I missed. Frankly, this won't be nearly as interesting without your review

@PetePeppers1 Год назад

Thanks, we'll see!

@@PetePeppers1 I concur! I appreciate your insights. These reviews help to make sense of the show by pointing out the little details and connections to the books. They enhance my understanding and enjoyment of the show. Please don't disappoint your fans. We're all suffering from BCS withdrawal!

Did anyone notice the the knights jousting were riding in the wrong direction? They should be riding so they can use their right hand to knock other rider off their horse. That’s why in England, the steering wheel is on the right side of the car.

I listen to a lot of breakdown and recap videos and i always enjoy your calm and collected demeanor. You’re easy to follow and understand! Loved listening to you recap The Expanse!
