House of the Dragon: The Heirs of the Dragon [1x01] ✦ Watchalong Reaction & Review

Hello there! This reaction is one (of a few) in my "Try Before You Buy" reaction videos here on Patreon. You must have your own copy of the episodes to watchalong as I do blur the episodes and have the audio muted. I leave around 30 seconds of it up at the start of each episode for syncing purposes. I am not allowed to distribute the entire episodes in my videos as this is illegal. Thank you for watching along with me!

We are back in Westeros, everyone! 🐲 What a pilot episode! This definitely feels like early season Game of Thrones to me and had every bit of ingredient in this episode that makes up the GoT world. I really enjoyed what this episode laid out for this series and I cannot wait for next week to watch more! [Direct link here.]

Please comment below and let me know what you thought of this episode. Do you have any predictions for Episode 02? Who is your favourite character so far?

Thankfully the wig got better over time. 🤣

it's absolutely fascinating to see how GRRM takes inspiration from real life events (The War of the Roses for GOT, and now The Anarchy from English history for HotD) and is able to tell them in a fantasy setting so brilliantly. Rhaenyra is an expy for Empress Matilda who was considered by some to be the first English Queen (but also not really because LOL women as rulers in the medieval period) Matt Smith's wig this episode really wasn't working for me; I think it was the way it was positioned in front of his ears but it made him look like he was supposed to be on Rings of Power rather than HotD.

Watching it for the 2nd time. I got so much more out of this episode knowing how this season plays out. Thanks for the watch along! It's so great to have my favorite show of all time back. It does not disappoint, eh um, looking at you season 8 GOT. haha

I didn't even REALIZE that was the dagger, oh my gosh. That has me even more excited now.

Yeah, GOT has its pacing back. That is the most important part that the season 8 last time failed at. The acting is great. The show looks great. The prequel with a prophecy that was never referenced in the first series feels very much like Star Wars but i won't complain. Vicerys being in possession of the dagger that Aria will use to kill the Night King create a nice threat for us to follow for the whole series and keep that connection with the original. I was not really looking forward to this, well now they got me.
