There were so many Easter eggs for Game of Thrones fans in last night's premiere. How many did you notice?
Aemma says she wouldn't be surprised if she"hatched an actual dragon" after her"miserable pregnancy," which calls to mind what happened to Daenerys and the stillbirth of her son Rhaego — who Mirri Maz Duur describes as having scales and wings.dragons to become the Mother of Dragons.The juxtaposition of the tourney with Aemma dying in childbirth reinforces what she said earlier to Rhaenyra that"the childbed is our battlefield.
Rhaenys's children with Corlys, Laena and Laenor, are also present at the tourney, and we see them a few times onscreen, although they don't speak in this episode. It's likely they'll become more signficant as the series progresses.Otto Hightower describes Daemon as"a second Maegor, or worse" which, as you might have guessed, is NOT a compliment.Maegor was known as"Maegor the Cruel" — he was, as his nickname suggests, a wicked, violent tyrant.
What's interesting in this scene is that not only is Viserys's story juxtaposed with flashes of Rickon Stark, Ned's ancestor, swearing fealty to Rhaenyra, but we also get several close-ups of Viserys's dagger — which will be very familiar toYes, it's THE Valyrian steel catspaw dagger — the one used in the attempt on Bran's life in Season 1, and the one Arya wields in Season 8 to kill the Night King.
