House of the Dragon: Season 1 Explained 

The show appears to be changing the timeline for various reasons. Will address that in the next video. Channel Memberships are back for anyone that wants this channel to keep going: ru-vid.com/show-UCB3w8ltYiIpSqH7sgjg1a8wjoin

It's admittedly been a really long time since I've watched one of your game of thrones videos, but you're voice instantly brought me back to how fun you're speculation videos were before GOT was over ❤️

I'm so ready for this series! More Targaryens, more dragons, more Westeros. We finally get to see House Velaryon & their home of Driftmark. Dragonstone looks much more eerie and gloomy, because it is an active volcanic island afterall. The Throne looks awesome with more swords. I hope we also get to see Storms End, maybe Summerhall and perhaps a better view of the Hightower. What else are you guys looking forward too the most? I think the biggest thing i can't wait to see is Princess Rhaenys & her dragon Meleys battling Prince Aemond on Vhagar and Prince Aegon on Sunfyre above Rooks Rest! If they dont include that in the show, i'll be so sad.

Fantastic vid Kev! What a great breakdown of the background and the beginning of the story. I much appreciate the refresher! I'd forgotten a lot of detail apparently. Look forward to the next vid, and of course the series itself 😁 You truly are the guru of all things ASOIAF related!

I don't care about spoilers.. That's how much I care about this show.

Spectacular breakdown! Excellent work. No idea how I just stumbled upon your channel but I'm glad I did.

I've read fire and blood and agree rheanera had her faults. What the hightowers did was a grade A dick move. Team black 🖤

Great overview, thank you! Has been some time since I read the book so this is a nice refresher before the series comes out

Can't wait for your breakdown videos! Better than some of the GoT episodes 😅

It sounds like the Targaryens practice a form of Salic law. This is the idea that the hereditary lands can't be inherited through the female line. Rules like these are always enforced or set aide for ad hoc reasons--whichever is best for the family. It wasn't necessarily "patriarchal." The story of the House of the Dragon does bear some resemblance to the story of Henry I wishing to bequeath the crown to his daughter, Matilda--which was opposed. The intermarrying, incest angle bears a strong resemblance to the Habsburg family. I have no doubt that Martin drew from these real world exemplars.

I soooo can’t wait for this! Another great vid Kev, I love how you end your vids with a deep question, a profound statement, a sentence that sums up the entire vid etc. Most other channels aren’t as deep a thinker as you and finish their vids with cliche RU-vid stuff, subscribe, share, like etc. , great reviewers but you make connections and see things many do not, and leave us deeper into the greater mysteries with those final lines. Hope life is treating you well my GoT buddy

Love this looking forward to more. Thank you ….. you have gained a new subscriber

This was such a fantastic video! And so well edited! I was enthralled If anything, this video got me excited for the House of Targaryen I wasn't before. But now I definitely am

Hi Bridge!!! I’ve been on the road for a while, and binging your videos is a great welcome home. Awesome production as usual! ♥️

Right on brother.. cant wait to go down this journey with u

After house of the dragon, I’d love a series on the conquest/ just the rest of the Targaryen reign in general.

Thanks for the refresher, hope you are well! I’m really looking forward to this show.

Awesome video man. This has gotten me even more excited for the show now.

Thanks for laying it all out. I had no idea what was happening in the trailer ☺️

Did anyone else notice that Rhaenys haircolor is actually wrong? In the book it is said that her hair ist black like the hair of her mother, Joslyn Baratheon😅 But of course she looks stunning with silver hair🤩

Wow, that is awesome. You broke down the show by the previews. Very cool.

This is the best breakdown I’ve heard yet!

Watching this 4 weeks after your video aka the premiere of house of the dragon and you are so spot on in how you explained this first episode in foreshadowing of your knowledge. Bravo! Also it helped me understand that pilot more and the path of the show!!

Great work on the explanation video! 👌🏿

This is by far the best explanation of Fire and Blood I have seen. I am so excited for August 21St! Thank you. PS I learn more from your Westeros Videos than any others. You are the BEST🤓💃🏻

I’m interested to see the timeline changes, especially with the projected 3-4 season run time

i''m SOOO ready for this series! 🔥🔥🔥

Excellent work on this dude, made me subscribe.

6:35 I love this, it is a great example of George "human heart I'n conflict agianst it self" despite being a great king Viseris faltered on this single issue of the succession cause of his brother and seppoust heir drunken outburst agianst his dead son.

Now that is what I was looking for. I haven’t read the books and need an understanding of what this series was going to be about. Now I am ready..yay

Loved this video x wonderful knowledge and insight!!

I listen to a lot of asoiaf content and, i wanted to say i keep searching for your take on things. Also your voice has a wonderful quality. I would listen to you read chapters of whatever you're into! ✌️

Fantastic video Kev!!! I really like how you break things down..

What are the odds on getting a full narration of all the books from you? Sign me up

As usual great video Ser! We’ll need you for HotD

Sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!!! You made a GoT video..... Just like old times! I cant wait for the season to start, and the breakdowns to begin!

This is the best explanation video on RU-vid i have seen.

You just got me even more hyped for this show!

The best breakdown on RU-vid. 🙏

Awesome description. Well done

thank you for this ! it was really helpful as a casual GOT fan

I have read this story at leat 5 times and this was still a captivating and interesting video! Great work!

This is a voice I haven’t heard in a long time. Glad to be back :)

Truly enjoyed this story breakdown 👍💯

very detailed , very good video so informative !!!!!!

Excellent explanation. Very clear and concise. Great job.

Thank you for this background!!!!

I can't wait for the show! I'm going nuts waiting for the next book, so I need something to keep me occupied & my interest piqued, before I forget alot of details, & have to start all over. I'd rather have something to physically read, but I'll take what I can get for now. I'm super excited!

I just hate that the beautiful relationship between Vhagar and Caraxes comes to the end that it does. Whhhhy, George? Whyyyyy 😓

Glad to see you around!

QUEEN ALLISANT to Princess Raynera... "My, my.... your sons all look so 'Strong' "

I'm excited to see your take on HotD.

I’m glad I stumbled upon your vide, best story teller… I’m stoke to seeing the show now… 3 more weeks till the first episode of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON 🐉

Thanks for vid. Like I said, I don't watch anyone but you for this show. Tbh, I haven't been very excited about it. Your enthusiasm makes me want to watch 😁Can't wait for next one❤️❤️

Love your videos!! Looking forward to the new series and also Jon snow series

Great job, Kev!

Great video!

I used to watch your videos all the time back in the day when GoT was airing. Looks like I'll be back for House of Targaryen

will we see a time where theres a few years of winter, we never saw this in the original show, but seasons are supoused to be very random

This show is going to be awesome. Multiple dragon riders and all the cutthroat / backstabbing politics that George RR is known for in his writing. I feel bad for Amazon cause this show is going destroy Rings of Power in the ratings. I love Lord Of The Rings but Amazon has its work cut out for it going against HBO and this IP. Either way it’s going to an awesome late summer into fall. So many cool fantasy shows dropping. Even Disney plus is in the game with the Willow series. 👍

Harrenhall is such a creepy place! Yet despite being in ruins, GRRM keeps returning to this place, time and time again. As book readers we probably know why given its proximity to the Isle of Faces. I am slowly starting to look forward to this show as it looks like we will see Stepstones in the first season. I still won't be subscribing to Murdoch's grift in Australia to access HBO content. Everyone should check out "Upright" to see just how good Milly Alcock, a complete unknown, was as a young teenager. She owns that mini Australian series where Tim Minchin was meant to be the star. I have done that road trip but in reverse order from Perth to Melbourne. Mildura, Victoria is not on the route but the scenery of endless fields of hay bales is real. My daughter studied metallurgy and mining engineering in Kalgoorlie, which as pointed out in the first episode is some considerable distance from Perth.

So excited 😊 great review/preview

Dear sir, I owe you much sincere respect. I enjoyed this thoroughly

Ya had 69 likes... it pained me to like the video and push it to 70. Anything for bridge tho. Miss ya man

Honestly the best breakdown of important events for this season of House of the Dragon! ♥️🔥🖤

Look forward to your videos once this goes live (discovered you during WOT)

AHHHHHH .....we are here again sharing our love of GoT.....so excited its been years :)

excellent video, as expected from you

Wow, this video just got me so pumped for HOTD!

You’re back!

Duuuuuuuude! I’m so hyped to be getting new GoT content from you! Or should I say HotD 🐉 ⚔️ 🛡 🏰 🔥 This is gonna be so dope!!!! Lol

Whoop! So excited 😆

Aemon, caraxes 1st Ryder, is such an underrated character!

Good to see another one of your good videos

I have the book read some of it. Do not enjoy the way it's written though. So I appreciate this. You did it real well and you sound nice.

i think this show is going to take alot of inspiration from the last kingdom in how it's story progresses as in multiple months/years can go by in the same season. the last kingdom has something like 15 years go by before season 3. i think one of GOT's biggest problems was that it tried to keep the story as tight as possible and it could have massively benefited from some time skips.

Wait! Keep going!!! What happens next!?!?! You’ve got me hooked lmao

Excellent. New sub!

I can’t wait to see the battle above the gods eye

Thank you 😊

Great job

Fun Fact Jaehaerys would at times mistake Alicent Hightower for one of his daughters that he banished. There's a theory that Alicent herself was actually a bastard born daughter of Jaehaery's exiled daughter and a Hightower when she left Westeros

Love this Channel

wow -- THANKS :)

I WANT MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE plz do the next season, i love your stoytelling

Was that Valerian blade the king had tyrion's blade from the first Game of thrones

Good vid

Where can I watch it in the UK please?

Can't wait for this!!!!!

Thanks

Terrific, as always. 😄🤩

Me laying in bed listening to you talk 😌😴 calming

I’ve read the book three times and loved it, but I’m so afraid they’ll mess this up too.

7:09, 12:19, 21:30 Meraxes* Not Ceraxes.

My fave is back 🙌🏼

That was great story telling

Can't wait for the battle above the gods eye

Oh wow, it's been a while since I saw your vids. House of the Dragon was an excellent opener. So much to take in and so many characters to remember! I've not read the book yet, have it here but going in blind with this one. Looking forward to next episode and more of you're reviews!

I’m alittle confused. I watched a dance of dragons video with the GOT voice actors, where the line of succession was between Rhaenyra and Aegon II. Is this one between Rhaenyra and Daemon? Or am I just thinking alittle ahead. Just alittle confused here

What an honour…I’m so happy I’m blown away by everyone…who’s taken been part of the Journey…everyone in entertainment…I feel like I’m living a real life fantasy…I’m even more happier that we are all living this spiritual fantasy together….I think you are phenomenal people….(I’m just a fan 🥹🏎🔥) I don’t even have any words but I’m Happy that God turned what was meant for harm into something beautiful so we all could enjoy and benefit from….I love you ❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️
