grrm wrote fire & blood specifically to add context, to understand daenerys' narrative and position as a female ruler in the main story. seeing the injustice in rhaenyra's usurpation, the commentary on gender, patriarchy and women in power, is EXACTLY the intention of the author
#HouseOfTheDragon showrunner Ryan Condal teases Season 4:
“Season 4 is going to be even bigger. We have new characters and new dragons and new locations, all to come, that I think are gonna make it a very worthy final season.”

Rhaenyra had the potential to be a good queen, but she never got a fair shot at proving it. Her claim was stolen, her authority was undermined, and by the time she took King’s Landing, the treasury had already been drained.
i already hate the fact that the series will be centered around the usurper's wife's dea!h while the heir to the throne's dea!h was forgotten in a day 🥀
Ryan Condal said that Emma was ready to deliver multiple versions of the speech so they could choose one of the best 👏 Emma look so proud and happy when the scene was done, THEIR SMILE 🥹🫶

I’m still not turning on Rhaenyra. This war stole her from herself. You can’t be in the position that she’s in and avoid the point she’s at. No matter how the show spins it the suffering of the smallfolk and damage to the realm was set in stone when the greens usurped her.
Burning down gates, chasing off that silver mf, keeping bitches in line, being the smartest one left on team black, queen killed the pope, they got me working a double shift out here
