There is still a while until we can enjoy House of Dragon , the expected spin-off of Game of Thrones , but that does not mean that we can discover details and uncover quite interesting rumors about what we will see in the series that the series is preparing with so much secrecy. HBO platform . The last information has to do with the format in which the story will be presented, which could show us temporary jumps or the typical flashbacks that we already saw in its predecessor. Which one convinces you the most?
House of Dragon, the most anticipated prequel
It has been a long time since a prequel was expected with such enthusiasm as this one. And it is that, regardless of the end of Game of Thrones , which left more than one with a raised eyebrow (and some disappointment), the series based on the books by George RR Martin has undoubtedly marked history on television, becoming a phenomenon that not only dragged the millions of fans who had already read the saga on paper (well, what exists of it, alright) but also many who were completely unaware of the existence of even this universe.
With such overwhelming success (in audience, critics and awards), it is understandable that HBO did not think much about it and decided to bet on some kind of spin-off that would continue to provide content to its network without abandoning the magic of Westeros (Westeros). The result was the announcement of House of Dragon -which we imagine in Spain will be known as La Casa del Dragon- , a prequel that will tell us about the events that occurred before those seen in Game of Thrones, focusing, of course, on the Targaryen family.
About its details we know even rather little, but little by little we have been collecting data that are giving us clues about what the TV series will be like. The last? Those related to the development of the plot itself , which could bet on either the temporary jumps or, failing that, on the helpful flashbacks.
The plot of House of the Dragon, how will it develop?
Flashbacks are one of the most widely used and used film and television resources on the screen. Thanks to this, we can better contextualize the present of the characters, taking the viewer to specific points in their lives so that we understand everything better. Temporal jumps , on the other hand, are somewhat more “messy” and less frequent: in them, the plots are intermingled, developing as their name indicates in different temporalities, sometimes even without notifying the one who is looking at the screen -in The Witcher , has undoubtedly been the predominant “brand” of the season, sometimes being a bit confusing for those who were enjoying the Netflix series.
Either of these two resources could appear in House of Dragon. How do we know? Well, because it has been discovered that the castings were looking for two women in their 20s who responded to the code names of YR and YA. It is taken for granted that behind these acronyms ” Young Rhaenyra ” and ” Young Alicent ” are hidden, that is, we are young “versions” of the characters of Rhaenyra and Alicent, which are part of the story.
The fact that the series does not use the leading actresses, and makeup, to play its younger versions suggests that it is an important jump back in the timeline of the plot, which could come in the form of a flashback or of a frame in which said jumps move in a recurring manner.
The folks at Redanian Intelligence are not ruling out the second option as House of the Dragon is expected to begin its story 193 years before Game of Thrones . Game of Thrones began in 298 BC, which means that House of the Dragon kicks off in 105 BC. The Targaryen civil war, the Dance of Dragons , did not break out until 129 BC, which is why the said medium is betting that House of the Dragons could jump from one side to another in different timelines.
We have no choice but to wait (quite a bit) to confirm something like this, but the first clue is already given. Tell us, are you convinced by some of these two formats or are you not a fan of such a jump in time?
