Yeah thats what i was thinking, but i just remember the one White Walker that was on one of the horses who had the long blond hair, it looked closest to that one if it was supposed to be a specific one.

2024-08-06 16:09:59 +0000 UTCYeah it definitely wasn't the Night King and I don't think it was necessarily meant to be any specific White Walker.

It was a bit jarring for me to see her in this role, like I couldn't help seeing her just as Abi but the scenes with her were pretty fun.

2024-08-06 14:04:07 +0000 UTCWas that the Night King in Daemon's vision though? it looked like that one general of the Night King with the long blonde hair, the Night King himself had no hair.

2024-08-05 23:11:56 +0000 UTC#HouseOfTheDragon showrunner Ryan Condal says showing Daenerys in the vision doesn't confirm she is 'The Prince That Was Promised'. "We are not trying to make any kind of specific interpretation of a prophecy that has yet to be revealed by its author. That is George’s space to tell that story" "[The reason there was no Jon Snow was] the connectivity for us is specifically in and around the dragons … The connectedness between this family and the family to come" "We know who Daenerys is watching that image, but Daemon has no idea — that could be his future daughter with Rhaenyra … So for that reason, I think it was important that it was Daenerys in the image"

2024-08-05 21:41:07 +0000 UTCI dont get it at all. Most of the plot will be forgotten when season 3 starts. A cliffhangar is better than all pieces at the startline. With a cliffhangar you got something to hold on atleast and think about, yeah that only happend because that and that, but now its just like everybody starts at zero, only that Rhaenyra gets a head start.

2024-08-05 12:55:59 +0000 UTCLoved the episode but it didn’t feel like a finale and we have to wait for so long. Should have been a 10 episode season, even 9. I wonder how much the writers strike affected things.

2024-08-05 11:44:48 +0000 UTCReportedly this season's storyline & pacing were impacted by the writer's strike. Also HOTD will always have to work within budget constraints. Dragons doing anything are a massive drain on the budget, dragons fighting dragons most of all. Next season is going to be mental, we're seeing battles on land, sea, & in the air set up. Hopefully they go back to 10 episodes. I felt a bit frustrated as well but I get it. Ultimately this show is about family, politics, identity, & destiny. The action is just the cherry on top. Now our watch is ended & the long night begins...

2024-08-05 11:28:33 +0000 UTCLove this episode. Chess pieces and prophecy built up from season one all aimed at the throne. Everything so open ended my imagination will be running wild in 100 different ways. Subverted expectations...well played GoT. Well played. 10/10.

2024-08-05 10:40:08 +0000 UTCI thought there shoul have been way more action in the Finale. Daemon practically did nothing all Season. I know after this Episode was over, and the Cast and Crew were talking about afterthoughts, they said this whole Season was to prepare for War, so the whole next Season will be War and violence. I really don't want to see 🐉s killing each other, but that is because the beautiful creatures did not sign up for having to kill tons of people. They just want to chill and be peaceul. Still, the Show-Runners should have made the last Episode of Season 2 way more action-packed, because we waited 2 years to watch this Season, and they cut Season 2 down to 8 Episodes. And now, we have to wait another 2 years to see some action. It looks like Season 3 is going to be awesome though...Unfortunarely, there will probably be a lot of 🐉 killing in Season 3. Helaena Targaryen's 🐉, Dreamfyre, is the Mother that laid the 🐉 🥚s, that contained Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion. I am glad that they gave us a glimpse into "A 🎶 Of 🧊 & 🔥" though. I can't wait until next Season. "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" will be coming out on HBO MAX, on 06/15/25 to take up some of the time (Crap, even that is still a year away). 🥱🥺🥱🥺🥱🥺🥱🥺🥱🥺🥱🥺 🔥🐉🔥🐉🔥🐉🔥🐉🔥🐉🔥🐉
