The theory that those who pursue a dragon to thirstly get burned is negated when you actually think about it. Every Targaryen and Valerian desperately wants to become a dragon rider. Aemond was extremely eager, but he was brave and overcame any fear, that's how he got Vhaegar. In Adams case, I think seamokes longing for a rider plus Addam's bloodline got him the dragon. So I think it varies from dragon to dragon.
King Viserys sat in that throne so many times without cutting himself. Only when confronting Daemon over the death of his son did he recieve his first cut. In this way Daemon is responsible for the entire Dance of Dragons.
@@YK-rs8pmIt wasn’t just the sending away of Daemon but also was the poisoning of the House of the Dragon against each other by Otto. Hence, his blood becoming poisoned and slowly wasting away as the House of the Dragon begins to crumble.
@@thomasleonardis711 Viserys bypassing the laws of succession and swapping between heirs on a whim provided the reasoning for a succession war. And him playing favourites between his (grand)children only fostered resentment that would ensure the likelyhood of a war breaking out.
No your wrong , in episode 1 the Maesters are treating a wound on his back that is getting worse , Viserys says " its just a small cut from sitting the thrown " that was prior to him yelling at Daemon
The Targs and Velaryons have intermarried a few times over the generations, even Corlys probably has a good dose of dragon blood. Plus, Adam is probably the closest genetically to Laenor. Two good reasons for Seasmoke choosing him
This season has been pretty good, even knowing what is going to happen they are doing a good job at keeping the excitement and small changes to the story
When they transition to Adam Hall holding the rope after seasmoke burning Steffon. It looks as if he’s sitting on a dragon holding the reins or the neck of a dragon.
Seasmoke doing a Vhagar and jumpscaring Adam who thinks he got scott free only for this ginormous animal only for it to pop out from behind the camera.
I don't think so. I think they put it on to prep him for Darklyn. Then Sea Smoke cooked them and left to go find his own rider before they could take it back off.
Daemon just shows how much he listened to his lessons when he was younger ……..hearing that they sing the same song daemon sings to vermitor was chillin awesome
I think Seasmoke burned Darklyn because he said "I did it" as if he has conquered or is in charge of the dragon, but it's actually the other way around - the dragon lets the rider ride as long as they are humble about it and don't think they are the dragon's "master".
I think the small folk who had his hand cut off outside of the sept when grabbing Alicent was “The Sheppard”. Plays a huge role in the dance of the dragons
The cricket could symbolize seasmoke finding its rider. Crickets usually "sing" to attract mates/partners and seeing as it stopped singing could signal that Seasmoke has found their rider
While it isn’t Mysaria in the books, it IS said that Rhaenyra, Daemon, and Laena were best friends when Daemon and Laena were married. All three would fly their dragons together, and there were rumors of them being a “throuple” of sorts. This seems like another avenue of exploring this dynamic, at least from Rhaenyra’s side and without Daemon involved at the same time.
Maybe Alys Rivers is just someone from long ago warging into different bodies. Kinda like the idea of the three eyed raven just swapping bodies with Bran, and leaving original Bran to die in the tree.
I love the fact that these shows and books stray away from the books a lot. Keeps that mystery of not knowing everything that’s going to happen relevant
King Viserys sat in that throne so many times without cutting himself. Only when confronting Daemon over the death of his son did he recieve his first cut. In this way Daemon is responsible for the entire Dance of Dragons..
He cut his back in the first episode, showing that he really didn't have the mindset needed for a king. Hell Otto was meant to be his training wheels, a figure to guide him till he gained enough experience. Instead his reliance on Otto doomed his family.
In the book it’s said that Alynn and Addam are Laenor’s sons but it’s also made clear that this is highly doubted because of Laenor’s reputation and Corlys’s visits to their mother’s shipyard. And the Velaryons have intermarried with the Targaryens in the past, so they have at least some Targaryens blood.
Rhaenyra started a revolution with uber eats imao the green aboit to learn you're only as strong as the people allow you to be. All this fighting for the crown matters not if there's no one to rule over.
Seasmoke: 🎵Where do you go, my lovely? Where do you go? I want to know, my lovely, I want to know! 🎶 Addam of Hull: 🎶So just leave me alone (Leave me alone, leave me alone) Leave me alone (Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone) Leave me alone Stop it! Just stop doggin' me around! 🎵

Darklyn totally blew it, he didn't deserve
I’m inclined to agree.
Had the same thought, boss
he had to hop on that thang and ride off into the sunset quickly
I liked how seasmoke came close enough to adam to block the sunlight with his body which made his face clearer. That's when adam stopped fearing.

I figured the balance between thirsty and true blood probably plays a role

i kept thinking that there mustve been a truck load of hidden easter eggs they dug up for them to be taking this usually long
They aint sweating HotD, They got early access to Deadpool 3
So Seasmoke has been wearing a rider's saddle since Laenor left? All those years? Poor thing!
Probably wasn’t that long honestly less then a year I’d think

Aemond using the "stress ball" to cause...stress. Typical Aemond. Magnifique.
Yea, Aemond is no angel but I hardly have any sympathy for Aegon either.
That slap was a) deserved, and b) cathartic for Rhaenyra. Not good in the _long term_ necessarily, politically, but goddamn was it good in the moment.
Nah the insect not singing is Alicent being kicked of the council.
I think Seasmoke burned Darklyn because he said "I did it" as if he has conquered or is in charge of the dragon, but it's actually the other way around - the dragon lets the rider ride as long as they are humble about it and don't think they are the dragon's "master".
The ball he used to hurt him makes sense because he can play it off as reinforcing his brother’s position by giving it to him.
Great thought bc I was confused!!!
I actually thought it to be Aemond telling his brother he has resumed as King which is the only way he could have had the ball in the first place.
@@eugenedavid3946I think it allows him to do both.

Not really , in the books it's been stated that he used to get cuts and scratches from the throne often
He was cut immediately upon sitting the throne, and was cut after naming his heir. He was actually cut often. Might led to his infections.
He cut his back in the first episode, showing that he really didn't have the mindset needed for a king.
Hell Otto was meant to be his training wheels, a figure to guide him till he gained enough experience.
Instead his reliance on Otto doomed his family.
I’m honestly really happy with the nettles stuff going to rhaena
The way Aemond replies often with the 'mmm' hum - I love it. Says so much with so little, and makes him... well, scarier.
SeaSmoke loves the Sea.. so he will love a rider who loves the Sea .
Perfect Match.
Excellent point, I didn't think of that!

I have a feeling theyre gonna say that Alyn is a bastard of Laenor so they can keep the idea that only Targaryens blood allows one to tame a dragon.

Alyn seems the same change as Laenor and Rhaenyra, though. Maybe even older.

I would like to think that Seasmoke chose Addam because he could feel the Velaryon in him, reminding him of Laenor
