GameofThrones dropped the ball with its final season, but George R. R. Martin's world has the perfect opportunity for redemption in HouseoftheDragon.
Game of Thrones was a revolution. The show once not-so-eloquently described as “tits and dragons” proved to be so much more, introducing a seemingly never-ending parade of compelling characters likely to die from one episode to the next. High production values and genuinely impressive CGI further contributed to the show skyrocketing into the apex of pop culture, but Thrones‘ secret weapon was always the writing.
Now, the Targaryens are a tricky act to balance. Sure, Daenerys Targaryen was Game of Thrones‘ original breakout star, an inspiring character for the girl boss generation. Parents actually named their daughters Khaleesi, a decision made unbelievably unfortunate considering how the character ended the show. However, Daenerys remains a star, despite her quick descent into a medieval Mad Queen.
Like the best families in Thrones — Lannisters, Tyrells, NOT Starks –, the Targaryens were complicated and fascinating. However, unlike the other, mostly homogenous houses in Westeros, the Targaryens were contradictory, capable of considerable kindness and infinite cruelty. Unlike the Lannisters or Tyrells, they weren’t simply smart or cunning, elegant or graceful. The Targaryens were messy, volatile, and uncontrollable, just like the dragons that gave them their power.
The Dance has everything that made Thrones successful in the first place. It features political conflict aplenty, betrayal, gross sexism, murderous schemes, conversations in barely lit rooms, and a healthy dose of cruelty. Above all, it features dragons. Dozens of them, including some of the mightiest in Westerosi history. Game of Thrones didn’t really feature dragon-on-dragon action — Daenerys’ children all got along.
The dying of the dragons? House of the Dragon might be fighting a losing fight. It is not only responsible for living up to the fans’ lofty expectations, but also has to redeem the reputation of a show undone by its own devices. And make no mistake, House of the Dragon is HBO’s last chance with the World of Ice and Fire as far as fans are concerned. In their minds, they’ve been fooled once by Game of Thrones‘s ending and twice by Martin’s refusal to finish his book series.
