American TV series《House of the Dragon Season 2》Episode 1 plot introduction

《House of the Dragon Season 2》 is currently on the air. Once the show was aired, it received unanimous praise from the audience for its wonderful plot, excellent production, and meticulous interpretation, and won the first place in the ratings.Throne is a great drama worth watching!

A crow soaring over a mountain lake and a voice-over with a northern accent. The majestic and stern Winterfell stands in the distance. This is the North that we are familiar with. This North that pays attention to responsibility and honor and is far away from palace intrigues is refreshing..The narrator is Ned's great-great-great-grandfather Cregan Stark, now King in the North and Lord of Winterfell.

At the beginning of the film, Cregan talks about responsibility and honor with a strong northern diphthong:

Duty is sacrifice.It eclipses all things,even blood.All men of honor must pay its price.

Responsibility means sacrifice. In front of it, everything fades away, including blood. The pursuit of honor must pay a price.

At the same time, in Game of Thrones, Maester Aemon Targaryen also said something similar.After Ned's death, Jon Snow tried to leave the Night's Watch to support Robb. Maester Aemon Targaryen left a motto to enlighten Jon who was about to make a move:

Love is the death of duty.

Love is the mortal enemy of responsibility

These two mottos actually echo each other, because this is the core of the Stark family philosophy (Aemon Targaryen also has Stark family blood). The nobles of the North have always been guided by their values ​​​​of duty and honor, andIn the Game of Thrones universe, terrible consequences often occur due to love and betrayal of responsibility. For example, the trigger for Robert's Rebellion was Rhaegar Targaryen's falling in love with Lyanna Stark, and Robb Stark's betrayal of his wife.Ray family marriages and more.

At the same time, Cregen's motto is also a reflection of the previous plot. It echoes what Allison Hightower said to Rhaenyra in S1E07 when she burst out emotionally:

Where is duty? Where is sacrifice? Its trampled under your pretty foot again.

Where is the responsibility?Where is the sacrifice?It is trampled under your beautiful feet again.

Although the show portrays Allison as more sympathetic than the book, almost every character in the show, including Allison, has a hypocritical side.These maxims that appear constantly in Game of Thrones also reflect, to some extent, how the characters themselves view their own actions.

Cregan mentioned Torrhen Stark when describing his family's tradition of sending new soldiers to the Night's Watch - he was a very important figure in the Stark family because he was the last king in the North and ruled for nearly a century.300 years, until Aegon's conquest, Torrhen realized that there was no chance of defeating Aegon and his dragons, so he surrendered to Aegon, so he was called the “Conqueror”.

At the end of last season, Jakaris, who flew to the North to seek support on his mother's orders, finally came to the Great Wall. While riding in the elevator with Cregan Stark, he mentioned Torrhen Stark again.The short dialogue implies that it was because of Torrhen's humiliation that the peace and unity of the North and the Seven Kingdoms were achieved. At the same time, the implication is that the disputes in the kingdom at this time reminded Cregan to stick to his oath to defend the kingdom.

Cragen obviously heard the implication.The two came to the top of the Great Wall together, and when they looked into the distance, Cregan changed the topic and mentioned that King Jaehaerys I and Queen Alysanne Targaryen had witnessed their dragons refusing to fly over the Great Wall.

Jakaris did not understand the implication of Cregen's words, and mistakenly thought that the Great Wall was just to protect against dangers from the north when winter came - “savages and weather”, but Cregen gently corrected him.Him: Beyond the Great Wall is death itself.Cragen said “winter is coming”. Although winter has not yet come, even though there are snowflakes around the Great Wall, it is still the end of summer in Westeros. In comparison, what is happening in the south is just the living room of the princes and nobles.game.But Cregan also immediately promised to send people to fight for Rhaenyra, and said that their “veterans” could leave immediately to join the battle.In the books, this army of approximately 2,000 white-haired northerners is called the Winter Wolves.The reason for sending veterans to fight is related to another ancient custom in the north: older people will go to fight, firstly, in the hope of dying gloriously, and secondly, to relieve the pressure on precious supplies and rations needed in the northern winter.

In addition, those with sharp eyes can notice that the giant sword behind Cregan Stark is the two-handed sword of Ned Stark in Game of Thrones - Ice.“Ice” (Ice) is the ancestral two-handed sword of the Stark family. It is forged from Valyrian steel. Lord Ned Stark uses it to fight and execute criminals himself. Unfortunately, in Ned,After Ed's death, the greatsword fell into the hands of Tywin Lannister and was reforged into two swords, the Widow's Wail and later the Oathkeeper.

Finally, Jakaris, who was far away in the north, received the news of Lucreth's death from the crow. The crow brought the news of Lucreth's death all the way to the far north. This also shows that the dispute between the black and green parties has spread throughout the world.Seven Kingdoms, the war has officially begun.Unfortunately, the series has deleted a lot of plots about the North from the books, and the next appearance of Cregan Stark and the Winter Wolves will probably have to wait until season three.

Saying goodbye to the North, my eyes returned to Dragonstone Island.A restless Daemon ordered Princess Rhaenys to fly with him to King's Landing to kill Vhagar and Aemond, “a son for a son”, he told her.This is reminiscent of Alison's appeal to Viserys in Season 1 after Lethris maimed Aemond - “eye for an eye”.But Princess Rhaenys refused Daemon on the grounds that she was exhausted from patrolling Blackwater Bay on her dragon.Daemon then believed that he had the power and that Rhaenyra was just a woman wallowing in the pain of losing her son.Princess Rhaenys has experienced the pain of losing her daughter, and naturally understands that grief is also an inner strength, and enduring pain is also part of healing. She thinks that Daemon is ambitious and impulsive, and she knows that Rhaenyra did not approve this revenge plan.The conflict that ensued between the two was actually a legacy of the previous season. Daemon tried to ridicule Rhaenys for failing to eradicate the Green Party when she had the opportunity, which led to today's situation. Princess Rhaenys heard it and said nothing.Turn around and leave.

Rhaenyra rode Syrax and landed near the Stormlands. She stared at the Shipwreck Bay intently, searching for traces of her beloved son.The long shot shows a lonely and rugged background, and the close shot switches to a sad look. There are no lines. A great mother who has lost her bones to the bone. Needless to say the sadness at this moment.

The camera returns to Tidestone Island, where the sea snake Corliss has just returned from the rough waters of the Stepstone Islands.The bald young man talking to the sea serpent is Aelin, the second new character in season two.Aelin in the series seems to be just a crew member who saves the sea snake's life.In the book, Aelin and his brother Adam belong to the Velaryon family, but there are contradictory rumors about their origins. Their mother claims that they are the illegitimate children of Laninor Velaryon, but there are also rumors thatThey are actually the illegitimate children of sea serpents.The two brothers Aelin and Adam in the book responded to the call of Prince Jakaris of Dragonstone Island during the Dance of Dragons and went to Dragonstone Island to tame the ownerless wild dragons. The elder brother Adam managed to tame the sea salt of Lannino and in theHe proved his loyalty by dying at the Second Battle of Tumbleton.Although Aelin failed to train the dragon, he still survived the period of the Dance of Blood Dragons, eventually became the heir of Chaohead Island, and lived a legendary life.

In addition, the sea serpent Corlys mentioned that Velaryon's fleet blocked the roar.The Gullet is a narrow stretch of water between Dragonstone and the Tidal Islands extending to Marseille Head.Essentially, it is the outlet of Blackwater Bay and connects Blackwater Bay to the Narrow Sea, an extremely valuable trade route.The Velaryon fleet's blockade of the Throat put a lot of pressure on King's Landing, because King's Landing is a port city and a large part of its economy has been dependent on the ports of Westeros and Essos (such as Bratrade between Foss).Today, there are dragons in the sky, Harrenhal on the land (not yet in the series), and the most powerful navy on the sea. The Black Party has suppressed the Green Party in all directions by sea, land and air.《 House of Dragons 》 this is a great adaptation, the writing room realizes the importance of small families, strategic strongholds, and location, which 《 Game of Thrones 》 later episodes ignored,Because in George Martin's world, wars cannot simply be won by battles between dragons, the Throat will also trigger one of the bloodiest naval battles in the history of Westeros in the future - % ThroatBattle in the Gullet.

The scorpion crossbows all over the walls of King's Landing are obviously preparations to resist the sudden attack of the Black Gang.The Scorpion Crossbow has a long history in Westeros, and was used by the Dornishmen to kill Meraxes during Aegon's conquest of Dorne.

When the soldiers of King's Landing discovered that the dragon approaching from above was Vhagar, they put away their scorpion crossbows.This scene may show that even though the Green Party owns Vhagar, one of the oldest dragons, it still has a considerable disadvantage compared to the Black Party in terms of the number of dragons. The Green Party is well aware of this and has beenPlan accordingly.

The series seems to deliberately portray Helena as a mysterious character. She looks innocent and kind, and seems to be always busy doing embroidery handicrafts, oblivious to everything around her.In this scene from the play, Helena expresses her worries to her husband Aegon. Aegon mistook it for a fear of dragons, but Helena responded: "It's “rats".Audiences who see this scene will feel as puzzled as Aegon, thinking that Helena has too many thoughts and is uninteresting.But previous episodes have given Helena more of a prophetic character. She seems to be a green prophet who can predict what will happen in the future.Helena's worry about ”rat“ here is actually a metaphor, so the rat is not another rat, but a rat catcher named ”Cheese“. After Helena finished saying this, she turned around and looked at the person behind her.Jaehaerys' crib.At the same time, the trailer shows that Helena will be the first veil at the funeral, and this veil is exactly what Helena is embroidering at this time.

Unlike the original novel, Allison and Kriston Cole have an affair in the series.And no matter how contemptuous this scene is, it cannot be ignored that for Allison, this may be the symbol of her true autonomy so far.She was forced to marry King Viserys when she was a child, reluctantly performed the duties of husband and wife, and committed herself in order to win over Laris Strong. She even lived under the control and supervision of her father Otto for a time.And in this scene with Cole, she said afterward: ”We can't go on any longer, perhaps indicating that she is actually in control of everything, and Cole is the person she chooses to experience it with.

Cole, meanwhile, was the initial rift between young Alison and Rhaenyra.Rhaenyra and Allison used to talk about everything, until Rhaenyra lied in front of her. The fact that the knight slept with the princess changed Allison's view of her friends. Coupled with the conflict of political interests, the two finally drifted apart.Far.Alison, who had clearly longed for the freedom Rhaenyra had, now has the experience and choice she has been denied for so long.But her unethical behavior with Cole also caused her to lose something to a certain extent. The most intuitive manifestation is self-loathing and regret.

Allison was stopped by Larris Strong after the imperial meeting and hinted that he knew her and Cole's secrets. He eliminated the spies planted by Messaria and Otto, but he did not hide it., replaced by his own spies.So Allison took away all the maids while taking a bath, because this moment made her feel uneasy, and she began to show a certain tendency to self-harm.

At the council meeting, Jason Lannister mentioned that the armies of the West were marching towards the Golden Tooth.A fortress in the Western Territory of Golden Tooth City is also the castle of the Lefford family. It is located on the border of the Western Territory and the Riverlands, so it is a key fortress for marching to the Western Territory.During the War of the Five Kings in Game of Thrones, Robb Stark's army, guided by the direwolf Gray Wind, bypassed the Golden Tooth City through an extremely steep mountain path, penetrated deep into the West, and finally ended up inThe Lannister army was defeated in the town of Oxford, a village only three days' ride from Lannisport.Footage from the trailer has already shown the Lannisters at the Golden Tooth, most likely in preparation for the Battle of the Red Fork, a battle focused on the Lannister family.

At the same time, the Maester also proposed Dalton Greyjoy as Sea Lord.Dalton Greyjoy in the book was the king of the Iron Islands during the Dance of the Dragons. According to legend, when he was fifteen, he followed his uncle to the Stepstone Islands to work as a mercenary sailor. In a battle, his uncle was killed.Dun was injured in dozens of places but succeeded in avenging him. After the battle, he was covered in blood, so he was called “Red Kraken”.In the battle in the book, Dalton Greyjoy chose to join the Black Party camp, but he also had the same inertia as the Ironborn and would sway back and forth for his own interests.

The Great Hall of the Red Keep has an impressive new addition this season, with a majestic statue of the late King Viserys standing at the entrance.

When Aegon stepped into the Iron Throne, the red lion emblem on his collar of the Maid Maid on the left was clearly visible - he was from the Reyes family.The Reyes family sounds a bit strange, but the most famous song - The Rains of Castame - is related to it.The Reyes and Tarbeck families once defied the authority of Tytos Lannister, the guardian of the West, and openly rebelled against the Lannister family, setting off the Reyne-Tarbeck Rebellion. In the end, Tytos LannisTywin Lannister, Nister's eldest son, took action to suppress the chaos. Tywin first destroyed the Tarbeck family, and Castamere City, the fiefdom where the Reyes family was located, was easily defended and difficult to attack. Tywin LannisHe ordered people to build a dam to divert the water and let it pour into Castelme. All the Reyes family drowned, and the two rebel families were destroyed.Tywin even left the ruins of his family as a warning to other families. The singer later composed a song about this, called - The Rains of Castamere -.Afterwards, the Farman family in Fairy City disobeyed Duke Tywin's order. Tywin sent a harpist to Count Farman's castle to play for him - The Rains of Castamere. In response, the Farman family has sinceI dare not have any further objections.

Aegon in the Red Keep hall began to listen to politics. Before, he was somewhat like the shadow of Emperor Joe. Now he is eager to prove himself, trying to solve the difficulties faced by civilians before the war, and acting as a good king.This is also the first time in the series that the cost and impact of a war are visually shown. Dragons need food supplies, people are short of salt, iron prices are rising, etc.In the episode, a blacksmith named Hugh tells Aegon about the difficulties caused by the rising price of iron.It is worth noting that this blacksmith, with silver hair and blue eyes, is the Hammersmith in the book.The monk in the book is the illegitimate son of a Dragonstone blacksmith, and is said to have Valyrian blood. The hammer monk in the book also responded to the call of Prince Jakaris Velaryon and tamed King Renrui's sword.The dragon, Wormisor, the Bronze Fury, joined the Black Party to fight, but in the subsequent battle, he defected and joined the Green Party.In the series, Hugh is set to be in the Green Party camp, and according to the scene in the trailer, Rhaenyra recruits the dragon race in front of Vermithor, and he should go to Dragonstone to join the Black Party camp.

This episode doesn't focus much on Rhaenyra.She looked around on the coast of Storm's End, and finally saw the remains of her son and the dragon washed up on the shore, but what she held tightly to was only the cloak containing the remains of Lothris.When we next see Rhaenyra, she has returned to Dragonstone and utters the only line of the episode: “I want Aemond Targaryen.Covered in mud and with red eyes, she looks vulnerable and heartbreaking, but still formidable, thanks to Emma D'Arcy's layered performance.

At dawn, Rhaenyra, her eldest son Jakaris, her youngest son Joffrey, and the Velaryon family attended the funeral of Luthris.Rhaenyra personally lit and bid farewell to her son's remains, and at the same time, in a montage, Allison, who was far away in King's Landing, participated in the prayers of the Seven Gods.As the memorial candles were lit, Alison named three people, two of whom were well-known to the audience - the late kings Viserys Targaryen and Luthris Velaryon, while the first had a slightThe unfamiliar name is: Arielle Florent, who is actually Allison's mother, but whose name and family lineage are never even revealed in the book.Florent's family crest is a dazzling red and gold fox surrounded by a circle of lapis lazuli flowers.In the first few episodes of Season 1, young Alicent wears a blue dress, which is representative of her mother's Florentine family. Later, as the conflict intensifies and Alicent herself changes, she wears it in Episode 5.Wearing a green dress, her heart gradually moved closer to the Hightower family. From then on, she has always been seen in green.

Interestingly, in the trailer for the second season, Allison once again wore a blue dress outside King's Landing. This may indicate that Allison has never found her true self and is full of contradictions and struggles in her heart.

The adaptation of the series has obviously strengthened the portrayal of Allison, giving this character more room for interpretation. In this season, she prayed for the dead Luthris Velaryon in the church, as if today's situation was very different.She meant it, she always seemed to want to do the right thing - to avoid war and destruction.The original work - Blood and Fire - borrows the historical narrative perspective of the great scholar Dr. Galdan, and his narrative relies heavily on three sources to record the narrative of the Dance of the Blood Dragon, namely Orwell'sBooks, Grand Maester Mukhun and Court Jester Mushroom.In other words, this is a pseudo-history book, and it is a ”history% written by three men.The bloody civil war of Dance of Dragons completely changed the historical direction of Westeros, and the two women Rhaenyra and Allison were the core roles in this event. The narrative of history often has a certain purpose., Rhaenyra and Allison may not be purely good and evil in the book.

Messaria, who revealed Aegon's whereabouts in last season, escaped during Otto's arson.In the book, Messaria serves as Daemon's go-between and hires the assassins Blood and Cheese to infiltrate the Red Keep.As one of the relatively most moral characters in the series, he inadvertently caused the most evil events.In order to redeem her freedom, Messalia agreed to exchange information about King's Landing with Damon, which allowed Damon to successfully sneak into King's Landing and find blood and cheese. The treatment here in the episode also fades away the Mafia for the “blood and cheese” incident.The camp is subjectively evil.

What Eamond said in this episode "Words are wind." - the word comes from Shakespeare's play - The Comedy of Errors -, and is actually a classic saying that George Martin is very fond of,He even uses it a dozen times in A Dance with Dragons.Although what Emond meant here was that actions speak louder than words, he believed that the Green Party wasted too much time on words and words in the early days of the war. In fact, anyone with some reading experience understands the deeper meaning of "Words are like the wind": wordsFaster and more deadly than a sword.But this famous saying is actually more in line with the current history of the drama, because winds have levels of strength, east and west, north and south, and hot and cold ends. The spread of words leads to the truth being misunderstood, oaths being broken, and blood relatives betraying each other. History often happensbetween the accidents of words.

One of the most controversial adaptations of the premiere episode was the “Blood and Cheese” incident.First quote the original text:

On Dragonstone, Queen Rhaenyra collapsed upon learning of Path's death.Xiaolu's brother Joffrey (Jiaojie was still negotiating in the north at this time) swore a terrible oath of revenge to make Prince Aemond and Duke Boros pay the price - only because “Sea Serpent” and Princess Rhaenys desperately stopped, the boy did not immediately mount a dragon and attack (“Mushroom” said that he also played an important role in stopping the boy).When the “Black Party Meeting” was discussing how to fight back, a raven came to Harrenhal.“An eye for an eye, a son for a son,” wrote Prince Daemon, “Lothirith's great revenge must be avenged.”We should not forget that in his youth Daemon Targaryen was known as the “Prince of the Capital” in Flea Bottom, and his voice and smile were well known to pickpockets, prostitutes and gamblers.Today, the prince still has many friends in the slums of King's Landing, and many golden robes are willing to follow him.What even King Aegon, Prime Minister Otto and Queen Allison don't know is that he also has allies in the palace, even within the “Green Party Meeting”... This time he chose a middleman, aA special friend whom he trusted completely, a pale stranger who was as familiar with the taverns and rat-fighting pits that proliferated in the shadow of the Red Keep as Daemon had been, and who could walk among the shadows of the capital with ease.The prince contacted the man by secret means and prepared to exact a terrible revenge.Prince Daemon's intermediary found suitable candidates among the low-class brothels of Flea Bottom: one was a tall and rough former sergeant of the City Guard, who was expelled from the Goldcloaks for killing a prostitute in a drunken rage; the other was a man from the Red Keep.Ratcatcher.Their real names have been lost, and they are only remembered as “blood” and “cheese” (to be precise, they are reviled forever).

In the book, “Blood” and “Cheese” were not explicitly assigned by Daemon Targaryen to kill Aemond as in the TV series adaptation, but only received “eye for eye, son for son”order, but in the series he was directly assigned by Daemon to find Aemond Targaryen and kill him, but “Cheese” asked: “But what if we can't find him?”There is no further text.This means that it will not be Aemond who dies next, but someone else.In fact, according to Daemon's character, he can never believe that just a former golden cloak and rat catcher can completely kill Aemond. Even if Aemond has to pay for his life, Daemon may prefer to do it himself on the front battlefield.Kill this nephew with your own hands.

The defense of the Prime Minister's Tower was slightly loose, and the two passed through the spearmen guarding the tower door through a secret passage in the wall.They were not interested in Sir Otto's residence and slipped into his daughter's room on the lower floor.After King Viserys died, Queen Alicent moved here to live, leaving Maegor Towers to her son Aegon and his queen.As soon as “Cheese” entered the room, he bound and gagged the Queen Mother, while “Blood” strangled the Queen Mother's personal companion to death.Then they waited quietly, knowing that Queen Helena would bring the children to pay their respects to their mother every night before going to bed.At dusk that day, the queen, who knew nothing about the danger, came to the Hand's Tower with her three children: six-year-old Jaehaerys and Jaehaera, and two-year-old Meral.Helena entered the room, holding her youngest son's hand, and called to her mother.“Blood” immediately closed the door and killed the accompanying guards, while “Cheese” grabbed Meral.“If you speak out, you will die.”“blood” warns the queen.

Different from the book, “Blood” and “Cheese” went directly through the sewers to the Red Keep Hall, and then went straight to the Prime Minister's Tower. The whole process was like being in no one's land. After passing the Red Keep Hall, they also met someone on the Iron Throne.Aegon, who was chatting and laughing happily, still encountered no obstruction at all.It is inevitable to see controversy here. On the eve of the war, the Green Party's base camp was so unprepared and opened its doors wide. Maybe the world of Westeros is also a grassroots team.There is even an extra scene in the episode where “Blood” and “Cheese” have a small dispute. When going to the Prime Minister's Tower, Ratcatcher “Cheese” retreats, but the soldier “Blood” threatens to go with a chokehold, and “Cheese”Angry but unable to fight, he vented his anger on the innocent puppy and left helplessly.The first room “Blood” and “Cheese” came to after entering the Prime Minister's Tower was Aemond's. Not long ago, Aemond and Cole were still talking here, but they were nowhere to be seen. This is the first room.Three accidents.Soldier “Blood” proposed to search separately. The second room he came to belonged to Allison, and he did not arouse suspicion even after bumping into the maid in the room.Until “Cheese” found Helena's room and “Blood” joined her.At this point, “Blood” and “Cheese” entered the third room by mistake after entering the Prime Minister's Tower.In the book, “Blood” and “Cheese” deliberately bypassed the Prime Minister's residence and went directly to Allison's room, and the murder also occurred in Allison's bedroom.

Queen Helena is said to have remained calm at the time.“Who are you?”She questioned the two gangsters.“ debt collector.”“Cheese” said, “An eye for an eye, a son for a son.We are very fair. As long as you have a son, I swear to God that I will never harm anyone more, not even a hair.Which son would you sacrifice, Your Majesty?”After Queen Helena understood the situation, she immediately begged the other party to kill her to pay for her life.“A wife is not equal to a son, ”“Xue” said, “must be a boy.”“Cheese” warned the queen to make up her mind quickly, because if “blood” got impatient, she might rape her precious daughter.“Pick one,” he said, “Do you have to force us to kill them all?” Kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, Helena finally chose her youngest son Meral, perhaps thinking that the child was too young and ignorant, perhaps because her eldest son Jaehaerys, as the heir of King Aegon, was related to the lifeline of the Iron Throne.“Did you hear that, kid?”“Cheese” whispered in Meral's ear, “Your mother wants you dead.”After saying that, he grinned at “blood”, and the tall swordsman fell to the ground and chopped off Prince Jaehaerys' head.screamed the queen.The strange thing is that the rat catcher and the butcher kept their promise and did not harm Queen Helena and her remaining children. They only escaped with the little prince's head.

In the book, “Blood” and “Cheese” asked Helena to choose one of two boys. Helena finally had to choose the two-year-old Meral, but they deliberately chopped off the hair of her eldest son Jaehaerys.head.This scene in the book is actually a double murder - the assassin told the boy that his mother wanted him dead. Although Meral survived, Queen Helena went crazy with grief and guilt after this incident, and recalled him every time she saw him.I want him dead.

The adaptation of the series is that when Helena, a mother, was forced to choose one of her two children to sacrifice, she only offered a necklace to the assassin, and only pointed to Jaehaerys when it was inevitable.and resulted in his death.The adaptation of the series forced the elimination of the pain and sorrow caused by Helena's choice of which child to die. Helena behaved like a PTSD patient, so the whole process seemed that she was rather cold and indifferent.In sharp contrast is Caitlin Stark at the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones. She is like a she-wolf protecting her cubs. She threatens and swears that all kinds of emotions are mixed together, only for Walder Fogg.Ray spared the life of his eldest son Robb Stark, and then Robb died, and Catelyn seemed to have her soul taken away. The performance of this scene allows the audience to truly feel the strong emotional impact and ups and downs she suffered..

In the series, Helena's slightly indifferent performance throughout the whole process obviously made the scene lose the dramatic conflict it should have. We seem to be in Helena's subjective perspective and experience this terrible event through her eyes.Helena's indifference may be that she has already foreseen that she has no choice. She has foreseen the death of Jaehaerys. She may have tried to defy the prophecy - but failed. In the end, the sound of death sounded in the shadows and struck Helena.appears on the face, rather than the death process itself.

Dramatically, when Helena carried Jahaenera to Rhaenyra's room, she saw Allison and Kriston Cole lying on the bed together.In the episode, Allison did not witness the death of her grandson. On the contrary, she was having a turbulent relationship with Cole. This scene also contrasted the emotions of the two mothers at the moment, one was either extremely happy, the other was intensely sad.The follow-up of this incident may strengthen Allison's inner shame and guilt. As the captain of the Kingsguard, Cole was originally responsible for guarding the safety of the castle, but now he is derelict in his duties. There will also be undercurrents within the Green Party in the future..

The above is all about the plot introduction of the first episode of the American TV series《House of the Dragon Season 2》.If you want to know more, we sincerely invite you to continue paying attention to the line class.We will provide more detailed and rich plot analysis, character introductions, filming locations, etc. in the future.
