Community for fans of the HBO show and Game of Thrones prequel: House of the Dragon.
The show follows George R Martin's "Dance of the Dragons" story, which has been outlined in various books including The World of Ice and Fire, and Fire and Blood. The main plot focuses on a brutal Targaryen civil war, and is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones.
Season 1 of the show started airing in August 2022, and consisted of 10 episodes released weekly.
Season 2 will begin in Summer of 2024, and will consist of 8 episodes. Showrunner Ryan Condal returns for Season 2, after the departing of Miguel Sapochnik.

So there were NO guards watching the future king heir?? Wondering if that will be a plot point next week.
Also why is there almost no discussion here? It's a popular show and thought there would be more activity....
Re no guards, I'm guessing it's a combination of
Ser Criston Cole putting guards in strategic locations to ensure he isn't caught.
Larys Strong eliminating a handful of hand maids (and similar folk), replaced with his own. These new folks might not have the family in mind.
Kingsguard hanging out with King Aegon.
Overall not expecting an attack like this. Kings Landing is confident if attacked it will be via dragon.
These are all great possibilities. And each come with their own repercussions.
Yeah, this is exactly why. It just wasn't explicitly spelled out in the episode.
Re no discussion,
For some reason Movie/TV discussion on Lemmy is limited. I'm guessing it's just too niche still. It's an uphill battle but assholes like me are still here, so we can discuss.
