the dragon house has returned and has done so with a chapter that lives up to expectations and more. This first episode of season 2 picks up immediately after the end of season 1, that is, after the Cold War between the two sides for the throne was “accidentally” broken. But let the death of a child (now several) not distract us from what continues to be the dragon house. Like Game of Thrones, the dragon house It is a series above all political. Only here pacts and betrayals are usually accompanied by blood and death, not denunciations and discussions.
In this return of the dragon house We see the two great sides trying to become stronger than the other. A continuous war of influence in which the lords of Westeros have a lot to do with. In reality, we know that what matters most is the dragons, their numbers and their strength. However, it seems that for now both sides want to use their mythological creatures only for intimidation, something like the nuclear bombs of Russia and the United States. Therefore, for now, the intention is for the war to be limited to armies, to people, to the cutting of supplies or trade difficulties. We know that at some point that will not be the case, and that the dragons will do their thing. Of course, it wasn’t until Daenerys that dragon fire devastated King’s Landing. Dragon Rock was also still in one piece Game of Thronesso perhaps the “nuclear bombs” will not fall as much as we expect.
The important thing is that this influence peddling has given us the appearance of the most anticipated family in this prequel. The Starks, Winterfell, and the Wall make brief appearances in the series. We knew that this prequel was born from a book dedicated to the Targaryens, and that the Starks were nothing more than satellite characters, but there will be very few viewers who have not had goosebumps seeing beyond the Wall again. Mr. Stark, assigned to the wall at this time, promises to give Rhaenyra Targaryan some two thousand veteran soldiers. That is, the Starks join the black team. But the most important thing about this little scene is not that, but that the dragon house reminds us of the big bad of the series: Winter is Coming.
One of the things we can criticize most at the end of Game of Thrones It was never clear whether the great villain of the series was who occupies the Iron Throne with violence or the White Walkers. In the end, the second was what was resolved first, and left “Winter is coming” and its outcome, despite the epic chapter of the battle of Winterfell and Arya Stark, as something we expected more of. Game of Thrones He left his more fantastic side in second place and opted to put an end to, well, what its title indicates, the game of thrones. But let’s not forget that this is a world in which a wall separates the rest from the realm of death itself.
We know there is still a long way to go, but the return of the dragon house You have done well to remind us.
