SPOILER ALERT: This story contains details from the season finale of House of the Dragon.
War is coming, no matter how much Rhaenyra would like to avoid it.
In the season finale of House of the Dragon dubbed “The Black Queen,” the true heir to the throne (played by Emma D’Arcy) tries to shore up support from other houses without resorting to violence. But her son Lucerys pays the ultimate price after a futile attempt to find an ally in the Baratheons: he is killed by a rogue dragon ridden by Alicent’s son, Aemond (Ewan Mitchell). The loss of two children in one day! (Rhaenyra miscarried her sixth child at the top of the episode).
War, in fact, is already here.
A quick rewind: the Greens (those who support the coronation of Aegon, Alicent’s son) are surprisingly absent from the finale, save the dragon ride by Aemond and an appearance by Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans) who demands fealty to the new king. Otherwise, the episode is focused entirely on the Blacks (Rhaenyra’s crew) as friendlies arrive in the form of Lord Corlys Velaryon (Steve Touissant), who swears loyalty to Rhaenyra. She even got her own coronation. Where did that crown come from, anyway?
Relations with Daemon (Matt Smith) don’t go as smoothly. He learns how his brother shared the Song of Fire and Ice prophecy with Rhaenyra — a deep, family secret that Viserys never shared with his sibling. It angers Daemon so much that he almost chokes his wife to death. He’s also not so keen about Rhaenyra’s wait who strikes first approach.
We’ll have more coverage of the finale later tonight, starting with an interview with Showrunner/Executive Producer Ryan Condal. Until then, what did you think of the episode? If you are a fan of George R.R. Martin, was the finale

Jordan Moreau SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you haven’t watched Episode 9 of “House of the Dragon,” titled “The Green Council.” King Viserys is dead, long live King Aegon! Season 1 of “House of the Dragon” barrels toward an explosive finale next Sunday, as the battle lines are further drawn between the greens and the blacks. The penultimate episode didn’t feature Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) or her side of the impending civil war, instead focusing on how Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) and her supporters usurped the Iron Throne and ushered in the new, somewhat reluctant, King Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney).
end of episode 8, picks up immediately the next morning in episode 9, as Queen Alicent (Olivia Cooke) starts making moves -- ones that seem to counter what was set in place by the king and his council many years prior. Not only that, but the queen’s sons prove just how much of a hot mess they are while Princess Rhaenys Targaryen (Eve Best) finally finds herself provoked to get up off the sidelines and take action in the battle of succession for the Iron Throne. As the penultimate episode set up the season 1 finale, which will surely end with a fiery fight between families, fans took to social media to share their thoughts about the queen’s change of plans and that shocking show of restraint that ended the aptly titled “The Green Council.” [: Spoilers for season 1, episode 9.] With the king now dead, after a miraculously long health battle that ended with him crying into the night, the queen wastes no time to start making moves of her own, believing that Aegon Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) is now the rightful heir to the throne -- and not Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy), who was previously promised to rule after her father’s death and even seemed to finally heal the festering wounds between her and her former best friend. However, the news of the king’s death is not yet widely known, allowing the queen and her father, the Hand of the King Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifan), to call their own small council (err “Green Council”) to determine the line of succession.

“House of the Dragon” distinguishes itself from the original “Game of Thrones” series is its more diverse cast. Despite the accolades and acclaim that came to “Thrones,” the HBO series was largely dominated by white cast members. In crafting a prequel series, “House of the Dragon” co-creator and showrunner Ryan Condal found a smart way to bring a more representative ensemble to Westeros while still keeping in line with George R.R.
House of the Dragon moves at an extremely different pace than Game of Thrones and George R.R. Martin is giving his take on the infamous time jumps and how long he thinks the new HBO series should last.
