The ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel tiptoes its way into its second season, teasing action like a fickle lover.
was first introduced to us , it was clarified from the beginning that the show’s first season would act as a kind of prologue to the real action. We needed the backstory—of Viserys’s rule, Alicent and Rhaenyra’s relationship, and the high jinx and miscommunications that lead to the major conflict that plaques George R.R.
So the prologue continues into season two, at least in the premiere episode. Westeros-enthusiasts who felt boxed in by the limited geography of season one, however, will at least be happy to see the premiere open up in the North. Jacaerys Targaryen fulfills the promise made to his mother and goes to the Wall to convince Lord Cregan Stark to declare support for Rhaenyra . It’s an easter egg-filled scene with talk of an impending winter and tales of both the past and foreshadowing of the future.
Meanwhile, in King’s Landing, King Aegon is enjoying his new title— dragging his son and heir, Jaehaerys, to small council meetings and getting drunk upon the Iron Throne. Alicent , too, seems happy enough, and not so bothered by the impending civil war that she can’t enjoy a quickie with Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, Ser Criston Cole .
Rhaenyra, meanwhile, returns to Dragonstone, quiet and sullen, with only one request: the head of Aemond Targaryen. Daemon, ever the loyal husband , jumps into action, enlisting the help of his ex, Mysaria, aka White Worm , recently captured with not much to lose. With her knowledge, Daemon is off to King’s Landing, where he throws his sacks of coins about and convinces two stooges to sneak into the Red Keep and kill Aemond.
