The premiere of the house of the dragon is just around the corner and, although it is true that it is a prequel and therefore its events are prior to Game of Thrones, you may have the gusanillo to want remember the universe of George RR Martin before getting down to business with the new HBO Max adaptation. You're nodding your head, right? Well, so that you can build up and given that time is short -the premiere of the new series is imminent-, we propose today 7 selected episodes (with their reasons, of course) that you can see before letting yourself be carried away by the adventures of the family Targaryen. Go preparing the hole in the sofa.
House of Dragon, the expected premiere of HBO
repeat the phenomenon of Game of Thrones It is complicated and HBO knows it well. Even so, the platform is not willing to miss the opportunity to squeeze even more of everything that GoT entails and projects such as the house of the dragon. This series, based on the book "Fire and Blood" by George RR Martin, will take us years back in time (300 years, neither more nor less) to know the family reign Targaryen and see what the world of Westeros was like when dragons soared freely through the skies.

Su premiere is scheduled for the next August 21th, XNUMX (yes, in just 4 days), so you may have thought it would be nice to have seen again Game of Thrones with a view to remembering characters, comments or details that may be related to the new story that we are going to discover. Reviewing the 8 seasons seems somewhat complicated due to lack of time, so we have decided to propose you one selection of key chapters that for some reason or another could be "useful" to you in the face of the history of the famous golden-haired dynasty.
GoT Chapters You Can Watch Early
These are the episodes that we suggest you watch to whet your appetite and remember some details that may be referenced in the new TV series.
1×01: Winter is coming
It is the start of the series (and of the books, practically) so it will help you to situate yourself and above all to know At what point is the Targaryen family (banished and eager to regain the power of thrones after years waiting for that moment).
1×06: A golden crown
When Viserys Targaryen crashes Khal Drogo's party, he decides to end his wife's nightmare and give her the "golden crown" she so longed for. Right at the end and when checking how she has died with the heat of molten gold, Daenerys realizes that "he was not a dragon. fire cannot kill a dragon«. Surely we see similar references in the new HBO series.
1×10: Fire and blood
Fire and Blood is the motto of House Targaryen (as well as the title of the book on which the new series is based). At the end of the episode we will see how the three little dragons are born (from a fire pyre), whose eggs Daenerys guarded and which become the first hatchlings in more than a century.
5×09: Dance of dragons
We will see Daenerys riding a dragon for the first time, quite a moment for the series, although there is a much more interesting detail in the episode: Shireen Baratheon talks to Stannis about the book "Dance of the Dragons", of Grand Master Munkun, in which two relatives, Rhaenyra Targaryen and her brother Aegon, believe they are entitled to the Iron Throne and control of the Seven Kingdoms. People will start siding with one or the other, sparking clashes that will split the kingdom in two and cause thousands of deaths. A disaster for the Targaryens from which they never fully recovered.
7×04: Spoils of War
You can see Jon and Daenerys walking along the beach of Rock Dragon and entering their caves to discover their secrets. This location has a castle of the same name considered the ancestral seat of the Targaryen House, so we do not doubt that we will see it again in the prequel and more frequently. Jon also gives us a key phrase in the middle of episodes: "I never thought dragons would exist again."
7×06: Beyond the wall
What is remarkable about this chapter is that we have the loss of a dragon and that can only mean one thing: they are not as indestructible as we thought. The King of the Night manages to reach Viserion in one of the deaths that we remember most in the series -and look what there has been…
8×05: The bells
We don't have to go very far: practically at the beginning of the episode, Varys tells Jon that "they say that when a targaryen is born, the gods toss a coin and the world holds its breath. And it is that years and years of incest have caused a lineage in which more than one has not known how to escape madness. Will we witness this during the House of the Dragon?
