It seems unbelievable that it has been more than three years since one of the best series of the decade pass. Game of Thrones It is one of those fictions that leave a huge void when they end.
Anything remotely related to the series fascinates us, such as the illustrations of the characters if they had been 100% faithful to the booksthat’s why we wait so eagerly alive the new HBO Max series, the house of the dragonwhich narrates the history of the Targaryen family and does so based on George R. R. Martin’s book.
Fire and Blood (A Song of Ice and Fire): 300 years before Game of Thrones. (Targaryen Dynasty: House of the Dragon)
Before the time of the premiere arrives (next August 22) we can get in tune remembering some chapters that could refresh our memory before the arrival of The house of the dragon. Although its history predates that of Game of Throneswe can have some previous brushstroke before the dragons flood our screens on HBO Max, where we can review these chapters to warm up engines.
Spoiler alert: If you’ve been living in a cave for the last 10 years and still haven’t caught up on Game of Thrones, don’t continue, because we’re going to tell you part of the plot in the remainder of this article. If you don’t care about spoilers or if you’ve followed the masses and are part of the mainstream tide that this HBO series was, feel free to read on and enjoy.
Winter is Coming (1×01)
The Targaryen house was introduced in Game of Thrones with the fantastic Daenerys and his brother Viserys in the first chapter of the series. In addition to meeting the Stark family (our first meeting with arya stark), the series takes us to the other side of the Narrow Sea to introduce us to the targaryen familyDaenerys’ commitment to Khal Drogo and the first contact of the character played by Emilia Clarke with the three dragon eggs.
A Golden Crown (1×06)
Few deaths have pleased us as much in the series as that of Viserys, who lived in his own flesh what it was like to have a gold “crown” on his head. “Every time a Targaryen is born, the gods flip a coin and the world holds its breath”says the saying of Westeros, and it is at this moment that we see how Daenerys wakes up from lethargy after losing her brother.
blood and fire (1×10)
Although in the previous episode, called baelor (1×09), it is discovered that Maester Aemon could reign instead of his brother Aegon (father of the mad king Aerys), we have chosen the last chapter of the season because It’s just what we expect from the house of the dragon: blood and fire. The mother of dragons is reborn from the fire to give us one of the most iconic images of Daenerys.
Valar Morghulis (2×10)
The one that does not burn enters the House of the Eternals of Qarth, the tower where the sorcerer Pyat Pree has imprisoned the dragons. In this chapter, after all the pilgrimage that he lives with the Dothraki people, Daenerys has several visions as he searches for his chained dragons. The destroyed throne room of King’s Landing. The wall. Her husband Khal Drogo with her son Rhaego. That’s when we discover that next to her, her dragons are stronger and vice versa. Will the same thing happen in the house of the dragon?
And now his watch is over (3×04)
“Dracarys”, pronounces Daenerys for the first time, and then the fire makes her not only the Mother of Dragons, but also the ‘She Who Burns Not’ and the Khaleesi. She is now also the Breaker of Chains. The Targaryen’s power grows as her dragons do.
Oathkeepers (4×04)
Following the rebellion of the Unsullied army, Daenerys orders the High Masters to be executed, without trial and without letting her pulse falter. This chapter is perhaps one of the brushstrokes that the series of the extreme cruelty and madness that can accompany the Targaryen house.
A Dance of Dragons (5×09)
The bond between dragon and rider It is just what we see in this chapter in which Daenerys mounts Drogon for the first time. That connection will exist in the new series, which everything we know about the prequelwill have many dragons.
Blood of my blood (6×06)
Brandon Stark, the Three-Eyed Raven, is able to see in this chapter a rampaging Aerys on the Iron Throneand that madness is something that does not seem to be missing in the house of the dragon.
Spoils of War (7×04)
Judging by the trailer (you got him here if you want to take another look), battles with dragons will be common in the prequel of Game of Thrones. In this chapter we see one of them.
Beyond the Wall (7×06)
If the previous chapter is not enough for you, press play on “Beyond the Wall”, a chapter in which Daenerys arrives with her three dragons to save Jon Snowlosing one in battle with the White Walkers.
The Bells (8×05)
We are still in shock with everything that happened in this chapter in which Daenerys is more Targaryen than ever. Nothing stands in her way when decides to destroy King’s Landing riding her dragontaking ahead an innocent people and oblivious to the confrontations of their leaders.
A sample that puts an end to the evolution of the character and a chapter with much more sense than it seemsas they explain to us in Espinof.
