The Targaryen civil war begins as House of the Dragon returns to HBO.
Two years after its first season concluded, House of the Dragon has at long last returned to HBO with its second installment. Season 2 of the acclaimed Game of Thrones prequel series premiered on HBO Sunday night, kicking off a two-month run of new episodes each and every week, continuing the story of the Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons. Sunday night's premiere episode,"A Son for a Son," gets the new season off to a brutal start.
So things are picking up right where they left off at the end of Season 1, with very little time passing between them. House of the GreensMost of the episode is spent with the side of Alicent and Aegon II in King's Landing. Aegon is young and immature. He's running things on impulse and poor advice, and isn't listening to those who might have something useful to say. His wife, for example, warns him about rats within King's Landing, but he believes her to be out of her mind. That'll come back to bite him...
The one major interaction of note in this sequence is the arrival of a blacksmith who tells Aegon that metal has become too scarce and expensive. Without metal, more weapons can't be forged. Aegon shuts down Otto's attempt at council in order to assure the smith he'll get what he needs. There's a glimpse of Aegon actually being aware of what the throne needs and how to accomplish it, but it doesn't seem to be sustainable.
