Many are seeing echoes of Daenerys:

8 generations separate Rhaenyra Targaryen and Daenerys Targaryen, which makes Rhaenyra the great great great great great great grandmother of Daenerys…

Let’s hope Rhaenyra doesn’t lose it and fry a city:

It wasn’t the easiest episode for Rhaenyra ending with her finding out that her father has chosen to marry her best friend, but despite this, it seems to have set the stage for more action to come in the following weeks.

As we see from the preview for episode three, the princess might not have taken this news so kindly and as such is headed out on her own adventure. You can check out this preview here.

Of course, we won’t know exactly what her intentions are until the episode airs next Sunday so we’ll have a week to ponder and digest everything that took place during yesterday’s episode.

If you haven’t yet had the chance to check out House of the Dragon for yourself then you can do so right now by streaming the first two episodes on HBO Max.
