House of the Dragon season two is finally here and the tension is overflowing between the Blacks and the Greens. The first episode shows a remorseful Queen Alicent who realizes she’s set the stage for violence to swallow her family whole. On the other side is (THE RIGHTFUL QUEEN) Rhaenyra, who is mourning the loss of her son Lucerys and only speaks four words in the entire episode: “I want Aemond Targaryen.” I know that’s right, sis. This season is just starting to heat up and, if the first season is any indication, House of the Dragon will deliver another heaping of shocking, gross, brutal, and bloody moments.
Episode 1 – “A Son for a Son”
Queen Alicent and Criston Cole Are a, Um, Thing Now
In terms of the Game of Thrones universe, this episode was actually rather tame. The first shocking (well, more like gently surprising) moment was the oral sex scene between Alicent and Ser Criston Cole. (We all hate him, right? RIGHT?!) I felt like there were a few hints that they might get together, especially considering how salty he STILL IS over Rhaenyra rejecting his proposal years ago. But there was nothing outright to suggest that their relationship had turned sexual until now.
It’s even more shocking for poor Helaena to walk in on her mother on top of him after witnessing the brutal murder of her child.
The Murder of Jaehaerys Targaryen By Blood and Cheese
Speaking of that, the death of Jaehaerys Targaryen has viewers divided but it still certainly registers as a shocking moment. Helaena has to watch her baby boy’s head be slowly sawn off and collected by Blood and Cheese. She then flees the room and alerts Alicent about the death. It’s not the first time a child has died in this universe, of course. But this level of brutality happening to a very small and innocent one is jarring. And, I wanna know how Ser Criston Cole is going to explain where he was when this kid was murdered. Daemon has really started some mess!
We cannot wait to see what other shocking, bloody, and gross moments will happen in House of the Dragon season two.
