Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon is up and running – but what happened to Jaehaerys and Jaehaera in last night’s big premiere?The first episode of season two aired on HBO in the US on June 17, with UK viewers able to watch concurrently via Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW.Last month, a trailer for the second season was released, which built upon the tension that highlighted season one’s end, when Alicent (Olivia Cooke) and Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans) conspired to put Alicent’s son Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney) on the throne after King Viserys (Paddy Considine) snuffed it.Viserys had originally designated daughter Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) as his heir – but a death-bed change-of-mind (conveniently only heard by Alicent) changed all that. Cue a Targaryen civil war, otherwise known as the ‘Dance Of The Dragons’ by readers of George R.R.

House Of The Dragon was cut from the show.During a new interview with Elle, Cooke – who portrays Alicent Hightower in the Game Of Thrones prequel series – explained that the scene in question was “messy as fuck”.“It wasn’t beautiful, and that was really fun to do,” the actor continued, describing the racy moment as “carnal” and “animalistic”.“I think Ryan [Condal, showrunner] said we weren’t learning any more about the characters, which I disagree with slightly, but it’s OK. It’s his show,” Cooke continued.She then suggested that the scene could be released as part of a blooper reel.Cooke, who worked closely with House Of The Dragon’s intimacy coordinator Vanessa Coffey, said: “I thought there’d be way more [sex scenes], and so I’m relieved that when it has been used for me, it’s showing Alicent being pleasured, which is amazing and doesn’t feel gratuitous.
House Of The Dragon has created a significant plot hole in Game Of Thrones lore.The first episode of season two aired on HBO in the US on June 17, with UK viewers able to watch concurrently via Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW.In the episode, Cregan Stark relays a story from years earlier that King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne’s dragons were unable to go beyond the Wall, the home of Jon Snow.This appears to be in direct contradiction to the facts established in Game Of Thrones itself, in which Daenerys Targaryen did cross the Wall in an attempt to save Jon Snow.Despite the Lord of Winterfell’s dragons being seemingly more powerful than Daenerys’, it is made clear that at least two of them were unable to cross the Wall, with no logical explanation offered.In other House of the Dragon-related news, it was confirmed yesterday that a new Game Of Thrones spin-off series was in production, tentatively titled A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms.The series, which is adapted from George R.

I thought they were suitably delicate and took a better, more sustainable angle.”Back in 2016, Game Of Thrones star Emilia Clarke – who played Daenerys Targaryen – addressed criticism over the show’s treatment of women.“There’s so much controversy.
