I haven’t seen firm confirmation yet other than a tweet from an account that has had correct info before. I remember seeing that too but I wouldn’t be surprised if the showrunners/actor lied about it lol
Jace being super Jacist even though he was literally the one to come up with this idea just two episodes ago
To be fair to Jace the next big war, which lasts like 20 times as long, happens because of what he was saying there
lol I was thinking the same thing. She’s described as like the most people-friendly dragon there is, I can’t remember if Rhaena or anyone else tried to claim her before
Really curious what they’re doing with Alicent. In the preview we see her try one more time to get through to Aemond. Loved that shot of her and Maester O as she sees the rat.
I believe they’re talking about something that isn’t even going to be covered by the show — ”the next big war” being an event after this civil war ends
Yeah it makes sense that giving dragons to more and more people would, down the line, give lesser houses a stronger basis to oppose the Targaryens. They had a complete monopoly on them before
Every show should have an episode where Nikki and Paulo show up and just have to navigate that world then die at the end
Are there any things that they have outright explicitly changed from the books so far? My understanding is that more of it is just filling in gaps in the historical narrative
the ages of the Hull brothers seem to be swapped, either that or they switched the narrative each one gets ie gave the older brother the younger brothers story and vice versa. And they significantly aged down both Alicent, and the kids of Aegon and Rhaenyra/Daemon by a few years. In the book Alicent is like 10-15 years older than Rhaenyra and they weren’t exactly BFF. They were on friendly terms until she married Viserys but they didn’t exactly grow up together, to say the least. Aegon’s kids are like 4-5 in the books and have a younger 2 year old brother, and Rhaenyra/Daemon’s kids are supposed to be wanna say like 8 and 6 or something like that? With Joffrey being 10-11ish or so I think. That’s off the top of my head, I’m sure there’s more if I sat and thought about it lol
