- Creator George R.R. Martin, showrunner Ryan Condal, co-executive producer David Hancock, and more discuss the storytelling and work that goes into creating the dragons, plus give an overview of some of the major dragons featured in Season 1.
Wow. Just wow. Episode 7 really gave us what us book fans wanted from the show. We finally saw some of the major events, especially with Aemond. Absolute kudos to all the actors involved!
In the books, Aemond was saved by Vhagar not the Kingsguard
that would've been a whole lot cooler
Shut up
@@waltuhgoodman3427 ok Walter White.
We approved your comment.
Cringe af.
@@Lamiishere rude af
For book readers, this episode had so much to it that kept a lot of faith to Fire&Blood. Absolutely loved the whole sequence from Aemond taking Vhagar to the confrontation between the families that’ll forever divide the House of the Dragon
Phenomenal episode. The scene with Aemond claiming Vhagar had me in awe and was beautifully done. Praise to Ramin Djawadi aswell for his masterful score in this scene. The small hints of Dany’s theme made me so happy. Bravo. 🐉🐉🐉
Ep.7 was the best episode yet, Aemond is an absolute legend
Yet he's an absolute prick in the books and is extremely cocky
Aemond claiming Vhagar is my favorite scene from the show so far
Lol every episode is the best each week 🤣🤣
@@thehoopman88 facts
Baela legit punched the guy XD i was like yo and then Aemond was like “o we punching now?” Bam XD
I love what they've done with Caraxes' design. He's like this weird perversion of the usual bulky dragons (e.g. Vhagar here and Drogon in GOT) -- much leaner, and with a weirdly long neck and short stubby feet. Really feels like a good match for Daemon's character, as well as also being easy to recognise on screen
Ceraxes resembles a Chinese dragon!
@@TheCandiceWang he's actually, supposedly, a mutant "failed" experiment of trying to breed different species of dragons.. like he's legit not supposed to be able to fly but his mutations and little wing legs allow him to function
@@marlyqxi2615 wdym species? There’s different species?
@@waffleosaurus1 yes there's one's who look like dany's three dragons in GoT. Vhagar is a different species, Meraxes, Meleys, of course ceraxes, syrax is totally different too. They don't say their breed name though
Edit i think Seasmoke is same breed as drogon, viserion, and rhaegal too. I think they show balerion as being the same breed as them too
@@marlyqxi2615 ohh nice. I didn’t know mixing them would create something like caraxes
I've never seen a show that puts so much effort in being spatially consistent. And episode 7 drove that home even further, the whole island on which it was set was a real place and not just a backdrop. The distances and the perspectives all added up. This must have taken an insane amount of effort, but all I can say is that it's worth it. It's noticeable and it's appreciated.
The arts dept did an incredible job with queen dragon Vhagar when Aemon approaches her the detail in her skin, eye balls, body language was just amazing
I like how they didn'yt show how Laena tamed Vhagar. It just made Aemond's taking of Vhaegar more impressive and awe inspiring as we are seeing how its done for the first time.
Ever since the showrunners teased this episode a few months ago I looked forward to it. And it absolutely delivered. The Greens and Blacks confrontation at Driftmark was tense and absolutely flawless in how it was executed.
I swear I could listen to young Rhaenyra say "dracarys" a million times. So exotic the way she says it versus Daenerys. I love the older Rhaenyra but I miss the younger one. I hope she and younger Alicent can both come back for season 2 in a flashback scene or something.
@@annie--sc exactly. You hit the nail on the head. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@annie--sc Dany's "dracarys" was not in proper High Valyrian. Rhaenyra's is. She was thought the right pronounciation and grew up with some part of Valyrian culture
What an episode this was! A page right out of peak GoT.
The CGI in this show is so fucking good.
Good enough they hide with darkness this episode
@@thehoopman88 How would Aemond have claimed Vhagar in the day and while at a funeral? At least it wasn’t the “Long Night” dark, I could certainly see Vhagar very clearly.
@@thehoopman88 that’s a smart tactic lol. In my personal opinion they don’t do it enough
@@whoreofdragonstone1031 they did it in the first Jurassic park and honestly it saved allot of time and meant every shot with the trex looked great.
I am loving Vhagars design more and more, I didn't like it much at first but it has grown on me. She just looks old and worn and with good reason, she's the oldest dragon and has seen many battles so I'm not surprised she looks the way she does(and she's still very strong so imagine her in her prime)
Vhagar looks fantastic, it’s a shame she is rode by such a brutal character as Aemond, if only Vhagar could know the pairing will cost her her life
And Vhagar is the oldest with a dragon rider, but there are wild dragons at this time and The Cannibal is suppose to be older, we should see him and will see some other wild dragons during the Dance of the Dragons
@@frenchiesaparis5741 You mfs need to stop spoiling shit that hasnt happened in the show
@@frenchiesaparis5741 you're speaking as if Vhagar is a docile dragon but it's actually the opposite, Vhagar is quite short tempered, angry and dangerous, that's why Aemond had to sneak at night to approach her, his parents would never allow that. Vhagar and Aemond both have strong and violent personalities, it's a great match, just like Daemon and Caraxes.
@@frenchiesaparis5741and here in this interview GRRM finally put that theory about Cannibal in the rest , because he just confirm in this interview that Vhagar is the oldest & largest living Dragon in Westeros.
"She's like an old cat" 😂
3:22 I gotta love how vhagar takes off and flys above ground at great speeds witch is very nice
They showed the Valyrian culture that all of us are waiting and wanting for years! I may assume now that ancient Valyria is basically inspired to Rome, Egypt and Japan. The war, the gods, the ancient myth of dragons and more. WoW!
The wedding ceremony definitely had Shamanic and Korean-Japanese vibes to it. Very cool to see more of the culture of old Valyria.
I totally agree about the Egyptian inspiration being in the mix, especially with the dynastic incestuous marriages which were practiced by the pharaohs. I also think the legend of Atlantis plays some part in the “real” inspiration - an advanced civilisation that suffered a catastrophic event causing its destruction, rumoured to have great knowledge of magic and science or some mixture. Just love the depth of the stories in the world.
I love how different the dragons look from each other. Not only the coloring but also the type itself. Syrax, Caraxes and Vhagar look vastly different than what Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion looked like. Seasmoke looks a bit the same like Drogon and his siblings. Arrax might be of that same species as well.
bcz Seasmoke is big brother to Drogon Rhaegal and Viserion their mother was Dreamfyre at this moment ridden by Helaena Targaryen
It’s amazing how this show keeps getting better and better. Thanks for this informative dragon breakdown.I loved episode 7. It was an emotional roller coaster and intense.
Episode 7 was phenomenal can't wait to what else is in store for this season 🐉❤
I absolutely LOVE the look of Caraxes... he's more serpent and viper like then dragon in all honesty. Also love how backfins
That's why the nickname of Caraxes is the Blood Wyrm
This is a 10/10 show so far!
This is why we didn't see Laena Velaryon claim Vhagar - because Aemond does it as well, and having two characters claim the same dragon as children would have been repetitive storytelling. Better that we witness the character who lives on to play a larger role in the plot claim the oldest living dragon than the one who, unfortunately, largely exists in the plot to pump out children!
The war has finally started, that scene with Alicent and Rhaenyra is so powerful! And I love how we see who takes which side!
Ugh the poetry when Drogon destroyed the throne. A statement saying, “you almost annihilated your blood and mine with this fucking thing. “
Caraxes is such a well designed dragon!! His high pitch scream is bad ass!!
I like how Martin and Miguel have given the Dragons their own personality as well as being technically slaves. Rhaenyra in one of trailers says, they are a power men should not have trifled with. Though not Tolkien’s dragons like Smaug who intellectually superior, I like how there are some similarities especially with magic. It gives more weight to what Ramon Djwadi said about Drogon recognising the Throne as evil, just like the one ring was. I wonder if when the books are finished or if Martin releases notes of what happens, whether the Dragon’s will be their own race within the world.
please HBO show us a flashback of Balerion
I hope they do a aegons conquest prequel
Yes agree. Also hoping to see The Cannibal 🤞
2:29 "Vicious, some would say. Short-tempered."
Me: *_lovely noodle boye_*
Every week the show gets me hyped for next week. Episode 7 🖤🐲 💚 is the best one yet imo, every scene was again perfectly executed. The tensions between characters and subtle dragon details were portrayed with such care. HOTD is the gift that keeps on giving, great job from everyone involved! I'm very pleased with this show.
just want to imagine the show through the dragon's perspectives
What an amazing show, thank you so much for that. We’re having a total blast 💥.
They did great work with Caraxes voice
I love all these stories about each dragon personality. I need more.
Ok Episode 7 did it. I'm all aboard. #TeamBlack all the way.
Such a phenomenal show. Ryan is amazing.
The kids fighting and the family squabble that followed reminded me so much of GOT season 1 and Robert’s visit to Winterfell. When Arya destroyed Joffrey in a duel and the kids started bickering in front of their parents.
The costumes are amazing on this show, literally had goosebumps.
Vhagar being an old cat made me laugh😂😂💗💗💗 so cute
I could listen GRRM talk about dragons all day long.
Such a good show so far my god
I love the way George R.R. Martin says something about what would someone do with a dragon, would they use that power? he would burn cities and armies? Something similar to what Tyrion says to John Snow, that he already rode a dragon and had the power but didn't use it. Also about the particular way that sometimes dragons have certain similarities with their riders like Caraxes with Daemon, he does not deny it but he does not say that it is totally true either, it can vary depending on the situation and the way in which the rider and the dragon come together , there is no doubt that this is the author of this work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Interesting that Ryan says that show Syrax hatched in Rhaenyra’s cradle when book Syrax specifically was not a cradle egg and rather was claimed as a young dragon by a young Rhaenrya.
Syrax is like an elegant lady...so beautiful and queen-like
I hope we get to see sunfyre soon...I was expecting to see him at ep 7... But overall, great episode!
Sunfyre was the golden dragon at the funeral
Sunfyre was in the ep 7, u havent see him ? Lol
@@tysam5867 from episode 1? that was Syrax
@@demirkazanasmaz6097 Sunfyre hasn't appeared in any episode yet. Lol
@@nel.tharion7 sunfyre was there with the other dragons at leana's funeral
Wow !!!! After watching this episode I know 100% that I can trust on these writers. A masterpiece is the best term to use for this show, the war has finally started and as a reader of the book I know with no doubt that will be epic
Truly a masterpiece
Quote about Vhagar by Ryan Condall really reminds me of George Martin's first novel "Dying of the Light" and character Bretan Braith ( who has one eye and glowstone for his other)
"Dirk almost felt sorry for them. They were misfits, he decided, more outcast and more alone than Dirk himself, worldless in a sense, because High Kavalaan had moved beyond them and could be their world no longer. No wonder they came to Worlorn; they belonged here. They and all their ways were dying.
Bretan in particular was a figure of pity, Bretan who tried so hard to be a figure of fear. He was young, perhaps the last true believer, and he might live to see a time when no one felt as he did. Was that why he was teyn to Chell? Because his peers rejected him and his old man’s values? Probably, Dirk decided, and that was grim and sad."
I just love the dragons!! I don't want to see any of them get hurt!
I know! I remember being so heartbroken watching Rhaegal & Viserion getting killed in Game of Thrones, I can still hear the cry’s. And it gets me very anxious & sad thinking of what’s to come considering the population go from 20 to 4 during the Dance of the Dragons so that’s allot of dragon deaths we will see during the series 🥺
Sexy to see George being involved again 😊
Love this Show!!!!!
They have dragon saddles. Daenaerys had to ride dragons with her life 🤣
Just imagine in the next few seasons once the war kicks off seeing everyone lined up on their dragons ready to fight
If the last three episodes are half as good as Ep7 we're in for a treat for the remainder of the season.
Can't wait to know how Seasmoke story will continue.
Yeah what the heck happens to seasmoke now
@@ijbokn In the book, Laenor actually dies in 120 AD. Seasmoke goes riderless for years until he is eventually claimed by Addam of Hull, who is believed to be either Corlys or Laenor's bastard child.
I really love how they made the dragons keeper mostly talk in high valyrian. I kinda disappointed a lil bit in Vhagar size bcs im expecting her to be larger, but still nice design showing her being a centuries old dragon.
Thanks for the info
Can't wait to see Sektor, Smoke, Triborg and Frost.
😂the mk bot names😂 technically there's already smoke with sea smoke.
Cant wait to see Moondancer, and Morning's hatching
BEST SHOW 😍😍😍😍
Ep 7 was hype
i'm already miss Milly Alcock pronounciation of "Dracarys"
Yes Milly had an aura of her own ☹☹
Respect from Algéria 🇩🇿🇩🇿❤️🇩🇿🇩🇿❤️🇩🇿🇩🇿
An old Valeria show would be awesome imagine a 1000 dragons
i hope we see dragons similar to the original trio, with horns and everything.
My favorite dragon will always be Drogon...you could SENSE he made his own choices. He wasn't a slave...and even rebelled against Dany. I think he will grow to become larger than Balerion without the restrictions of growing inside a dragonpit
This show is really phenomenal! Honestly I had zero expectations, but Sapochnik and the new showrunners has done a fantastic job!
Another proof that D&D were just fools with GoT
I love this series. Every episode gets better. I started to post clips related to this series on TH-cam.
I ove how you construct every part of the show, but I feel like missing some opportunities (kinda unique opportunities because of wat will happen) of showing the dragons together, scenes of them, like close ups or this. I LOVE how you treat Chagar in this last episode but take note of this!
We really are in the golden age of ASOIAF again and my god, it feels great to say that! I wish episode 7 wasn't as dark as it was, but otherwise it was fantastic! My only other complaint is that some of the fight scenes have been quite poorly shot and edited (in the early episodes though). Hopefully when the war starts for real, they really step up the fights! More longer cuts, better coverage and less editing. Let us see the action!
Vhagar is the largest dragon we've seen so far...
Until the next prequel series about Aegon's Conquest with Henry Cavill as Aegon Targaryen who rides Balerion The Black Dread 🙏 🤗
The Cannibal is alive on Dragonstone currently and is suppose to be older than Vhagar & Balerion. We should see him in later seasons & hopefully GRM confirms more about him like his exact age, bloodline & origins as he was on Dragonstone before Aegon & Balerion arrived in 114 BC.
@@frenchiesaparis5741 did you not hear what Ryan Condal say "VHAGAR is the Oldest and Largest Dragon alive currently in ASOIAF World & The Largest Dragon ever see in Game of Thrones" that means if we follow the Age diagrams of Dragons the Oldest is Vhagar > Dreamfyre > Vermithor > Silverwing now where this fit Cannibal because the next Bigger is Meleys & Caraxes so its probably Cannibal is the same age of this two Dragons of Rhaenys & Daemon.
Now all the dragons from all the trailers that HBO release we seen it already and we have 3 episodes left I wonder if we going to see more dragons and if they do I wish we see close up looks between daemon and caraxes like the scene from episode 1
This is so cool
I miss Milly Alcock so much🥺 She is perfect for this character 👑
it's weird how caraxes is a "deformed" dragon yet they still considered him fit enough to ride into battle despite that noodle proportions and teensy waist and squeaky voice
That's because Caraxes is extremely vicious, despite his deformity. He garnered a reputation when Aemon was his rider as being fearsome and unpredictable. This is probably why he's so well suited to Daemon when he eventually claimed him as his own. In the Dance, you'll see exactly how much of a formidable monster Caraxes is during The Battle Above the Gods Eye.
Lol that noodle will be the 2nd strongest dragon in the dance
@@s8theninjawarrior916 You have to love the design on him, fuck, the attention to detail is amazing. His roar being a screechy unsettling wheeze makes so much sense because of having a deformed neck.
@@winternitz_ yes, not all chads have a deep voice
Sunfyre is the one I'm most excited to see. 🤔
he was in the episode
He's seen sitting whem they arrive at driftmark
Espectacular......
GOD
Can’t wait for the red kraken
Caraxes is my boy!
Drogon will always be my favourite dragon always.
For real. The true MVP of the series
Ya drogon is the OG
Always and forever...
Im really missing Milly's Rhaenyra
Yeah both young actresses
Maybe It's just me gettign mad, but his scene makes me laugh 2:36
An old cat... an old, flying, fire breathing cat lol
Oh Milly sad to see you go but job well done. Of course dragons exist look at shields in heraldry, don’t get me started on their variations from China and beyond.
Wonderful ❤️🐉🐉🐉🇮🇹
GOT!!!!!
Aemond vs The Avengers
Vhagar is my favourite dragon
Old is gold
where can I find the video where cute little luke is dancing I've been seeing it on twt 🥺🥺🥺
But one thing i have to say...
In game of thrones
There are so many lines , that have deep meaning like
Let me give you advice bastard
Never forget what you are because rest of the world will not....
But I miss this thing in house of the dragon maybe because there is no Tyrion.....
But still I love it....the show is amazing, looking forward to second season....
Good
Blood of my blood 💥💥💥
lets wait until episode 10
just like ned stark beheaded
I love the episode, but please, for goodness sake, please lighten it up (brightness) for the blu ray / dvd release.
I had no issues seeing things during the night-time scenes. If you can't see things during the night scene, maybe you're TV is set to an inaccurate picture mode. There are industry standards for SDR/HDR, colour, black levels, etc. and there's a reason TV calibration services exist, to make your TV match those standards. Also, a lot of the streams for HotD are likely quite low bitrates, leading to heavier compression artifacts (they can look like a bunch of weird blocks everywhere) during night-time sequences like that. Compression artifacts won't be an issue on blurays/4K blurays due to their higher bitrates.
@@krismate2895 Thanks for the lecture, Professor. But there are no problems with my TV or its calibration. A large majority of viewers found it too dark and there's even mainstream media discussing the problem today. It's nothing to do with people's TVs and everything to do with HotD's post production grading. They had a similar issue with the Battle of Winterfell episode in GoT and literally had to lighten up the grading before DVD release. Seeing as this is a widespread problem, you must be special.
@@jenni5104 Large majority of viewers? So, every viewer has weighed in with their opinion and the “large majority” of those thinks it’s too dark? Either your TV is setup properly for the room environment and you have no issues seeing the performances by the actors and visibility or it’s not and you can’t see things properly. And if you’re tv’s setup properly and have no issues with visibility, why does it need to be brighter? What does that accomplish? It’s a scene taking place at night with clouds and only the moonlight as a light source. Brightening only serves to look unnatural and goes against the creative decision. I can guarantee you, after having worked for Geek Squad in the past, 90% of people don’t have their TVs setup properly, that’s why they complain things are too dark.
@@krismate2895 so if i see all other shows properly and just Hot d in gray tone - it`s my display setup problem?:)
@@DeVitar it’s a creative decision. Again, if you find it too dark and can’t see what’s going on, yes, your display isn’t setup properly and/or not calibrated. Dune did the same thing with the night-time desert scenes. If it’s too hard to see, because your TV isn’t calibrated, that’s YOUR problem, not the creators. My TV is calibrated and I had no issues with the scene or being able to see the performances of the actors.
Awe Vhaghar ❤️🩹
Only thing that tear down house Targaryen is it self......
Dracaris🔥
They made this dragon graphics in Mumbai, India
where's the behind the scenes?
Short temper I wish we can see that from caraxes like GRRM said
GRRM please give us WoW
