Here is my full reaction to House of the Dragon S1 E3-4!!

I think I’m starting to like this show even more than GOT! I love that we’re seeing the ancestors of characters I’d already gotten to know, and the way they hint at this ominous future while still leaving so much room for hope is really compelling.

I’m still not quite sure how I feel about the Daemon and Rhaenyra scenes. The actors are incredible together and so captivating to watch, but at the same time, their dynamic is definitely messing with my head a little. 😂

Watched on: HBO Max / Runtime: E3 1:12:10 / E4 1:11:49

Hope you enjoy!

Regarding Targaryens and their practice of incest, I've found it easier to endure/root for or whatever you want to call it by labeling them special "magic dragon people" and keeping them in their box. It has to be some sort of special magic junk keeping them from being physically deformed and dying of their genetic infirmity given the less drastic examples in our IRL nobility of centuries past. I haven't really watched HoTD since it aired but I still love all the outfits we get. Rhaenyra's sleeping shift in Episode 4 towards the end of the episode in particular is so lovely. I wish I owned one. Daemon nursing his hangover by staying planted against the stone in the throne room is such a vibe. I've been there before, many nights of poor decisions. Stones look wet too which is even better for trying to stay cool.

you seemed a bit confused as to how Laenor (the sea snakes son) had a dragon. I was also confused at first but it’s because the sea snake married Rhaenys (the queen who never was) who is the cousin of Viserys which means the children of the sea snake and Rhaenys are also Targaryen aka meaning they are dragon riders as well. also I don’t know if you caught on but Laenor is the one Viserys wants Rhaenyra to marry

Jax, I love that you started episode 3 by wondering if we'd see what Daemon was made of in battle and by the end of the episode, you saw it in all its glory. Not having seen these episodes since they first aired, but knowing the direction everything goes, it is amazing how far reaching the repercussions of Daemon taking Rhaenyra out of the castle would end up being. It gets her riled up enough that she seduces Ser Criston and that leads to some major consequences. It forces Viserys to arrange her marriage to Laenor. It leads to Otto being dismissed as hand of the king. It leads to more coming up in the next episode and indeed future seasons.
