The Dragon Demands Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 New photos have leaked seeming to show the sarcophagus of Laena Velaryon https://mobile.twitter.com/QorenMartell/status/1387464325997096960 note this seems to confirm the tv version of the Velaryon sigil will have a horse’s head. Fools. New, very high resolution shot of the archway with the Velaryon sigil on it: https://mobile.twitter.com/vv408v/status/1387461264658608130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Aegon II, Aemond, Heleana, at least Jace and Luke will be in season 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisneyDoc2425 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Now that it is clear that filming has begun I was wondering what peoples thoughts are on when the show will start airing. I would think 2021 is really out of the question but sometime in 2022 is much more likely. So what do people think?-Jan or April or sometime in the Fall. It would seem to me that HBO needs to get this on ASAP with all the streaming competitors (Disney + with their Marvel shows, Amazon Plus with LOTR, NetFlix with Witcher and Shadow and Bone, etc.).

Ran Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Seeing that happy little pony head makes my soul cringe.

IMO: If they changed it for aesthetic reasons, they're fools. If they aren't even aware, then they truly are lackwit fools. Thus, not being aware is worse. You might have a different opinion.

They screwed up the Targaryen dragon with four legs in the pilot, but there was time to try to correct that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 io9 just threw a nuclear bomb idea out there: that Daemon being "the heir" is a sign they might be changing the TV show so that it's Daemon and Rhaenyra at war, with maybe Aegon II as a third claimant. I don't think that would be the case - that's an absurdly huge change - but that's a slightly disturbing thought I won't be happy until it's been ruled out (such as them announcing the casting of Aegon II, who is conspicuous by his absence thusfar).

Werthead Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 7 hours ago, Lord Varys said: Just hope that The Witcher taught them that they can and should do the purple eyes thing. They are not really Targaryens if they don't have the purple eyes. That would create a continuity mismatch with GoT (where they don't have purple eyes) so I doubt that would happen. It might be nice, but they'd have to explain why they have purple eyes when Rhaegar, Viserys and Daenerys do not, which is probably more effort than it's worth.

The Dragon Demands Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 io9 just plain wasn't paying attention - at the START of the Rogue Prince, Daemon is indeed "the heir" - then later marries Rhaenyra. Why do we keep having to explain over and over to "news" sites "there are time skips"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, as I think on it, I wouldn't mind if they changed it "for aesthetic reasons" i.e. "that's what seahorses look like in real life heraldry"...so long as it was a conscious choice, you see. One I disagree with, but a decision was made. In contrast...on Game of Thrones, there were MANY things that we just hopefully assumed were a conscious adaptation choice by the showrunners, until we later realized that they just "kinda forgot". I'd take "because that's what seahorses look like in real life heraldry" any day over "we kinda forgot" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
