The basic 3 act story structure everything adheres to now, aka the heroes journey, the story of Jesus etc etc.

One episode in and a Stark man is already killed off
There is at least one bad *** Stark during this time. Don’t look him up tho (spoilers).

To follow up, I thought the series premiere was pretty damn good. It got to the point.
The writers and producers have made it clear that House of the Dragon is going to be a lot more of the **** that everyone loved about Game of Thrones (wars of succession, political maneuvering, and the idea anybody could get it at any time) and a lot less of the **** that everyone hated about Game of Thrones (the later seasons).
Like most people, I wasn't that excited about this new series after the old series left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
I'm officially all in on House of the Dragon.

That's what I actually thought this show would be about but I guess not. How many kings away was the one in the beginning to the mad King in GOT? Two Generations?
Gonna need to turn on the subs and re-watch this without the kids playing in the background again

I think one important thing that Viserys said in the dragon tomb is that every Targaryen king is passed the prophecy of the Long Night and the white walkers coming, and a Targaryen needs to be on the throne when that happens. It something that wasnt really known until now and it changes how you see how they rule. The song of ice and fire mention was more than just a fun easter egg, it really hammers home the importance of the original story of Jon Snow and how he was the chosen one. Stark/Targaryen blood to lead through the long night. Just something to look into

It seemed like the dragons had been gone for a really long time when GoT took place
Not just 170 years or whatever they're saying it was
I guess 170 is kind of long but I was thinking it was at least several hundreds of years

I was thinking that too but then I remembered nobody even knew what the force and Jedi's where in the first SW and they were just at their prime 20 years earlier

Several hundred years would make dragons complete myths akin to the real world.
170 is about right to see them as extinct in GoT.
It is a fact in historical terms that the only reason the Targeryns took over the 7 realms is cuz they had dragons every generation.

When Daenerys woke the dragons up after receiving the 3 eggs as gifts, I could have swore she said something about 200 years.

Rounding up by 50-60 years?
Bet we see the last dragon get killed by like Ned Stark or someone that was in their 30s in GOT

Was rereading a bit of The World of Ice and Fire late last night. Dozed off right after. Started dreaming about dragons. I’m officially Targ now (without the incest). I’m Dominican so Targ names are par for the course.

How many times did we say "there's no way they'd do that" during GoT? (in a bad Bran-is-now-king way, not a red wedding for-the-story way)
Luckily those idiots that helped the original aren't involved here.

Reminds me of a conversation I had with my 7-year old son not too long ago. Found an old VHS of Toy Story and Aladdin I had and I showed it to him...Explained this is how we use to watch movies at home back in the day. I might have as well pulled out a damn dinosaur bone the way he looked at me
I also found a cassette of 2Pac and showed him this is how we use to listen to music...this foo said "this is how you guys listened to music in the 1900's?"

Night King was made either 10000 or 6000 years ago. I forget which.
