Summary
“House of the Dragon” Season 2 has found a number of ways to expand or alter the Dance of the Dragons event told in “Fire & Blood.” The difference with this show is that it adapts a “history” of events that took place after the fact.
Alicent and Criston Cole’s sexual relationship is completely created for the show. Rhaenyra and Mysaria have gotten much closer than ever explored in “Fire & Blood” Episode 6 ended with the two sharing a kiss after becoming stronger confidants to one another.
In “Fire & Blood,” Aegon orders a roundup of ratcatchers but it’s never confirmed one way or the other if Cheese managed to escape King’S Landing. He casts a wide and destructive net and unknowningly does manage to catch and kill Cheese.
It seems all but certain that Rhaena is taking the place of Nettles as Sheepstealer’s dragonrider. Nettle was a beloved character from “Fire & Blood,” a 16-year-old girl who never had a confirmed lineage back to Valyrian blood.
In the books, Jace’s visit north lasts long enough for him and Cregan to foster a real friendship for each other. The two spent much of Jace”s visit hunting, drinking and training together. Another casualty of Jace's shortened visit to Winterfell, Sara Snow is completely cut from the story.
“Fire & Blood’s” director confirmed that three of the eggs are the ones that will hatch into Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion. The eggs were stolen while the Old King Jaehaerys was still alive. “Game of Thrones’’ final season premieres on July 16.
