The process of adaptation always means that certain elements of the source material end up on the cutting-room floor.
Martin didnt make it into the series.
As Condal toldVariety, Were expected to take the one true history out of this book?
Its an expression of this story.
Thank you,House of the Dragon,for skipping over that stuff!
1.Viserys and Alicents wedding
1.
The princess was among the women who disrobed the king and delivered him to the bedchamber of his bride.
Laughter and love ruled the Red Keep that night.
2.Harwin and Rhaenyras romance
2.
Howd they fall in love?
Their relationship is basically an open secret?And then hes assassinated at the end of the episode?
(Is Rhaenyra a serial monogamist?
Harwins dead,Laenors disappeared, and Rhaenyras remarried.
3.Rhaenyra and Laenas friendship
3.
Condals quote about that choice is disappointingly dismissive: Seeing Laena claim Vhagar wouldnt that be great?
There are moments like that: Wouldnt that be great?
Yes, it would.
But what does that actually change?
Why not for Laena?
4.Criston Cole in the tourneys
4.
I am aware that people now hateSer Criston Cole, and I get it.
(Is spite a primary source of antioxidants?
Much to consider.)
But also: Cole is a fantastic fighter!
(Alicent has siblings?!)
Couldnt we have gotten a few more scenes with him being unproblematically handsome?
5.The Triarchy at war
5.
This character sounds chaotic and we deserve him, dammit!
Can I say the name again?
Start fan-casting this character immediately and maybe our time will come!
6.King Viserys, daddy and granddaddy
6.
Im sure Considine would have nailed that, too, if he had the opportunity to play it.
RIP to King Paddy.
7.Daeron Targaryen???
Heres what Condal said toVariety: Honestly, this stuff happened all the time in this world.
See you soon, little guy, when everyone you know will be battling to the death!
