House of the Dragon Season 1 Ep 1 Recap 

Yes yes we’ve heard this bout 1,000 times

Also Myseria souldn't have to go pick a silver haired bedwarmer for Daemon since in the book she's got that herself

All the gold cloaks were specifically chosen by Daemon, and all of them grew up in and around the slums. They knew exactly who the criminals were, and went for them accordingly.

@@chadwood4412 that is also true.

@@chadwood4412 You see? That's the thing I don't like in the show. They don't tell you anything, and this makes the whole show look dumb as fuck. I don't know, maybe they should spend less time complaining about patriarchy, and more time explaining the actual plot...?

@@sensuscommunis2526 dude it's been one episode...what are they supposed to do tell you how everything will happen in the first episode?

I genuinely could not believe it when I saw it. How could George approve that?

can you explain this please? i've blissfully forgotten much of got and i can't remember the dagger

​@@okikiosk Littlefinger owned it, then it was used to assassinate Bran, then LF claimed he lost it to Tyrion, which made him a suspect. Fast forward to S7, LF gives Bran the Dagger for no reason, and Bran gives it to Arya, who uses it kill the Night King.

@@okikiosk they were trying to retroactively foreshadow that the dagger was always destined to destroy the white walkers, hence justifying the arya bullshit

@@CultureVultureMedia1 it’s easier then finishing a book series, especially when it’s this built up, so instead he used one of 5 ideas that came to mind that might have fixed the previous shows after taste in someway/ start this one off further linked thru the HBO GOT Universe for way more $$

Glad you liked it ;)

Thanks a lot! Stoked to hear you're enjoying it :D

Ha slot of people feel the original show was too slow.

@@Qqxx22 I didnt think so. In the last few seasons it was way too fast paced

I think it had to be. It’s a pilot and had a lot of stuff to set up.

@@whateverreally1347 GOT pilot wasnt this fast paced though. Although I dont remember it that well

@@ruaruam haha when I say a lot of people I mean me. Hahah I like the politics stuff but my god it would drag out.

Glad you found them useful ;)

Thanks a ton!

I think maester Luwin says dragons and magic have been gone for a long time, not thousands of years :) But dragons existing at the time of HOTD is in line with the lore, yes.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it :D

Thanks! Will take a few days to deliver, so bare with me ;)

I'm glad you liked it :D

Hey thanks, I appreicate it! Glad you like the videos :)

Thabk you! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)

Thanks Leon, I’m glad you liked it :D

That’s true. I have appropriated the berries for my own purposes 😈

Thanks a lot for the kind words :D

@@CultureVultureMedia1 ☺️😂

I’m with you Kaister. I had tempered my expectations going into the first episode, and while they hit the plot developments very nicely, I was disappointed with the pacing and execution. But it’s only one episode, so let’s see if it gets better!

I haven’t read the books but maybe Robert got rid of them because he felt intimidated by them (just like he did with the skulls of the dragons)

@@mailin2207 aw man, I was kinda hoping for like a guard slipped and took a sword into his head so they removed them

@@mailin2207 that is the explanation given by the show runners

@@jacobbrotherhood876 doubt it. We see a flashback of the Mad King in GOT and the throne is already small and puny with all the extra swords gone.

@@whateverreally1347 that is true but as my previous comment states the show runners gave that as an explanation it’s also what all of the breakdown channels have been saying about it so there isn’t really any other explanation as of yet

The negative always stands out more, but I try to keep as positive as I can, I promise :)

But his story doe sheeeesh

Just pointing out what I see, including the good stuff. Is that so bad?

@@CultureVultureMedia1 no, you carry on. what you belive and see thats your right to do on your own youtube channel. not everyone will agree but thats life no one ever does agree with each other on everything. imagine a world where we did thst would be amazing & solve 90% of mans problems. it would be a more boring world but would be more peaceful

Viserys was never the most comely of Targaryens

And your heart, friend.

Haha, thanks, I'm glad you liked it ;)

I’m glad you liked it :) Over all it looks good, right? Just a few too many shortcomings for my taste tbh, but it’s only one episode after all.

@@CultureVultureMedia1 Absolutely. Hopefully it gets better.

Obrigado :)

Unexcusable

I guess that largely comes down to the fact we’re only seeing kings landing, but mostly the fast pacing and clunky exposition. There were some good scenes though, like the council meetings and Viserys denouncing Daemon. Do you think it’ll get better with the initial introductions out of the way?

@@CultureVultureMedia1 I dont think Viserys denouncing Daemon was good at all. This seems more like a "mid-season" event when we actually know these people. They could have shown perhaps how the boys grew up together or anything that showed the bond they have as brothers. At least something that makes us care about their relationship. Same with the tragic death in childbirth. If we had know man and wife for a few episodes, maybe show more how lacking a son hurt them, maybe some scenes from happier times, how they met or anything like that to make us care. And yes GoT was all about traveling the world and seeing weird and wonderful landscapes, meeting exotic cultures. The politics were only a small part of this. The show feels like its just one of the plotlines and just one of the locations out of the many from GoT. I was waiting the whole episode for things to change. Maybe we would go to Oldtown, maybe some new character in a different place and we could wonder and theorize how he would fit in the story. None of that im afraid. In the GoT pliot alone we see: Beyond the wall and the white walkers, Winterfell and the Stark family, Jamie and Cersei in Kings Landing, Robert Baratheon and the full court and of course Daenerys and her brother getting introduced to Khal Drogo. Like I said, the show feels like they just took one of all these stories and bloated it up to an entire episode.

@@ageoflove1980 totally agree, the pacing is taking the punch out of the drama as these scenes are not built up to properly. I hope this was just a first episode thing, but I suspect it’s not :/

@@CultureVultureMedia1 Well if they already start to waste our time by introducing characters and killing them 20 minutes later, its not exactly promising. And of course the completely gratuitous sex scenes, violence and dragon cgi, as you point out, i fear for the worst. The sex in GoT was actually essential to the plot, the brothel of Lord Baelish for example, and the foreshadowing that Tyrion loved the ladies of the night a bit to much, that all proved to be crucial in later story development. Also the violence during the tournament of the Hand was important. The guy killed by The Mountain was a loose end that needed to be dealt with. It was important to the story, it was "functional" violence. In this tourny we dont even know who the people are getting brutally murdered for no apparant reason. And dont even get me started about that dragon... Its "House of the Dragon" right? So we got to have one! Im sure we will get to see him breathe fire around a bit but ill doubt they will become as integral to the plot as in GoT. But what irritates me the most is that so many hail the first episode like the second coming of The Lord while , at least to me, its so obviously average. Edit: Im rewatching it as preparation for ep2 and just now notice that the whole plot makes absolutely no sense... If you are afraid of rivalry and succession... wouldnt the last thing you do is give the rival a literal army... in your own city? The Hand is clearly plotting against Daemon but he was somehow perfectly fine with that? I mean, he is very capable to sway the Kings opinion, thats made pretty clear.

@Sander Fitzwilliam Yeah the flaws are showing early, and it's sad. I certainly had modest expectations, but so far I'm honestly a bit dissappointed x) There's no build up to pack the drama punches, like people dying, or Rhaenyra's stand-off with Daemon. I hope they turn it around, but I don't see it happening :/

Haha, I'm still coughing up bits of theme after having them shoved down my throat though ;)

@@CultureVultureMedia1 imagine being such a loser that you reply nearly too weeks later with a come back that just makes it sound like you can't handle a TV show having a theme if it's about women. Things can't be going great if this is what you spend your time on.

@@rachelblake2350 when you spell the Number 2 its with a W

Whose culture?💀

i agree. same thing that probably killed game of thrones by the end where they changed the characters so much making half the male chars that carried the series into idiots suddenly

having a black character triggered you?
