New House of the Dragon season 2 trailers — plural — are a call to pick sides

[Karlston]

Two new trailers for House of the Dragon’s second season teases the princess and the queen’s all-out war for supremacy.

House of the Dragon’s first season closed out with House Targaryen divided into two factions readying themselves for an all-out war to claim the Iron Throne, and in the show’s new season 2 trailer(s), both sides seem ready to burn the entire world down in order to win.

Keeping in theme with this season’s further exploration of George R.R. Martin’s novella The Princess and the Queen, or, the Blacks and the Greens, HBO has debuted two new House of the Dragon trailers — one “Black” and the other “Green” — highlighting Princess Rhaenyra’s (Emma D’Arcy) and Queen Alicent’s plans to destroy one another. In both trailers, it’s clear that Rhaenyra and Alicent are torn between their respective desires for revenge and fear of what unleashing their fury might do to the larger realm.

 

 

With all the blood that’s been already shed in the buildup to Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney) becoming the new king, neither side seems inclined to bring their conflict to an end peacefully — especially as Rhaenyra and Alicent remind their allies of the oaths of support sworn to them. And with even more houses taking up arms to stand with either the Greens or the Blacks in their battle to control Westeros, House of the Dragons’ body count is all but guaranteed to be even higher this season when the show returns on June 16th.

Thankfully no one can order a real Dragon through Amazon or Costco.  Otherwise hell would be in the store.  Forget about AK47, etc.  Dragons would be the new status symbol.  Student to Student: what happened to the Teacher?  He became pet food!!!

A wee bit off topic.....I'm watching "Shogun" right now and it's absolutely GREAT.

I remember watching the original mini-series way back in 1980 (starring

Richard Chamberlain and Toshiro Mifune) at a time when mini-series had become

very popular due to the success of "Roots". Suddenly film stars realized that being

involved in a TV mini-series wasn't a step down from being in movies. We then had Peter O'Toole,

Anthony Quaile and Peter Strauss in "Masada", Robert Mitchum in "Winds of War", a young Meryl Streep

in "Holocaust" etc etc. My favourite was Shogun (from James Clavell's novel) and the new version doesn't

disappoint..the actors, costumes, dialogue are all great and even though I know the story backwards and know 

how it will end, it's still a great watch.....100% recommended.
