Just finished season 1 tonight can not wait for this.

Very high quality show and looking forward to getting more. The ill will towards GoT was part forgiven (never will be totally ) when they put something this good out.

Looks great, this is definitely my most anticipated show of 2024. I'm definitely going to reread the Dance of the Dragons chapters of Fire and Blood before it airs.

Since GOT disappointed me so badly in its last season, HOTD got me back fully into this world with an amazing first season. So I am very excited and ready for season 2.

It looks phenomenal, I wish it was coming out sooner

I can't for the life of me figure out who Rhaenyra is meeting with here. I don't recognize the dragon.

Hoping this is even better than the first season .

It vaguely looks like Seasmoke, which belonged to Laenor, but that doesn't make a ton of sense story-wise. Maybe it's Dreamfyre and they invented an encounter between her and Heleana? They're clearly taking some big deviations from the source to make Rhaenyra more active in the early war effort, so it's going to be interesting to see what direction that goes in.

From the book (minor spoilers)

Ah, it could very well be Seasmoke. In the book, to increase their numbers against the Greens, Daemon recruits non-Targaryen riders to bond with and ride the dragons who haven't been claimed yet or whose riders have died, Seasmoke being one of them. Since Laenor did actually die in the book that creates an interesting question for the show because wouldn't his dragon just follow him across the sea wherever he went since they were bonded?

Spoiler: Seasmoke

Yeah, I'm very curious as to how they address Seasmoke. Honestly, they're probably just gonna ignore it, which would be annoying, but the most likely answer.

But if this is Seasmoke, and the opposing rider is Addam, I'm stumped on what's going on here, unless they change things to have Addam claim Seasmoke without approval and she's confronting him?

Ser Gwayne Hightower, apparently. Alicent's brother.

Matt Smith seems to believe it's releasing in August:

“August, I think, I think summer. This summer, yeah. I’ve not seen any of it yet but we finished last year.”

The two trailers and all the black vs. green marketing are really solid. Does a lot without spoiling anything. Can't wait until June.

The trailers were great, this is really my most hyped thing this year besides Furiosa and Deadpool 3. Interesting that we get to see the Wall again, I don't remember that being a part of Jacerys's visit to the north in Fire and Blood.
