11 'Game of Thrones' episodes to rewatch before 'The House of the Dragon'

How much time has passed since you last watched HBO’s “Game of Thrones”? It’s been a couple of months since the initial broadcast, and you haven’t even thought about watching it…? It’s possible that you don’t have much of a memory, or that you’re frightened to dive into the new “House of the Dragon” on HBO Max without first having read the original series.

It shouldn’t be a particularly major problem, as we mentioned in our review; but, if you want to have a brief glimpse at what ‘Game of Thrones’ delivered before beginning the new series, you need pay attention to these essential episodes. If you go back and look at them again, or if you access them for the first time, you will eventually have all of the keys to begin with “The House of the Dragon.”

In spite of the fact that it could appear to be self-evident, the opening episode of the first season of Game of Thrones is an excellent way to get a sense of the overall narrative of the series. All of the important characters from the beginning of the book make an appearance, we gain an understanding of how the four main houses function, and we are aware of the conflicts that exist between the Starks, the Lannisters, the Baratheons, and the Targaryens all simultaneously. An ideal representation of the classic’s earliest clashes, it is a who’s who of the fight.

Those who watch ‘House of the Dragon’ with the expectation of seeing a series of fiery dragons and engaging in nonstop action might feel a little let down. There are, of course, major action sequences in the middle of the first season, which is what we have seen so far. However, there are also a lot of court intrigues, betrayals, and sworn revenge. ‘Game of Thrones’ is also a part of its DNA, and there are few episodes that better illustrate this concept than this halfway point in the first season. This is the time in the show where a significant number of complex political intrigues come together in a multitude of discoveries, surprises, and shifts in allegiance.

Dragons! Throughout the entirety of its first season, Game of Thrones reveals to us that these enormous beasts had vanished from the face of the earth, long before the Targaryens ascended to the Iron Throne. After connecting throughout the first season with the conflicts of the past that we will see in ‘The House of the Dragon,’ this episode however brings about a change in everything: Daenarys becomes one of the most fascinating characters in the series, and we see it emerge once more in the form of winged beings that symbolize the iconic visual power of the series as much as the Iron Throne himself.

Due to the fact that they owe her their freedom, Daenarys starts to construct an army consisting of eight thousand brutal troops under her command. It is one of those episodes that raises support for the cause of this character, which makes it perfectly understandable that out of all the times that the world of “Game of Thrones” tells about, “The House of the Dragon” has decided to focus specifically on the past of the fascinating, contradictory, and anti-heroic Targaryen. This is because it is one of those kinds of episodes.

There is a significant yet understated presence of magic in the HBO series “Game of Thrones.” This episode is the one in which it is openly introduced into the plot, and Melisandre is the one who is responsible for creating the Shadow. In addition, we will have the opportunity to become more familiar with Harrenhal Castle, which is the largest of the Seven Kingdoms. It holds a significant place in the history of Westeros and was an essential component in the creation of the Dance of Dragons.

At the very beginning of “The House of the Dragon,” it is already clear that these battles are going to be keenly observed. This conflict is considered to be one of the first great battles of the series, and it is also the one that created the first visual conventions of the same. In addition, this episode is significant because it establishes the strategic and political significance of King’s Landing, which is anticipated to play a significant role in the next series adaptation.

The most exciting part of this episode, which is centered on Daenarys and her dragons, is when the character gets to ride the dragon for the very first time. It took five seasons to examine this historical truth, which is something that involves far less mystery in the prequel, where we literally see the Targaryens riding dragons from the opening bars of the first chapters. Additionally, this historical fact was introduced in the first season of the series. Nevertheless, this instance serves to bring to our attention the critical significance that this matter holds for the House.

The episode that demonstrates how Daenarys crushes the Lannister army with the assistance of her dragons is considered to be one of the most important episodes of the series. It is also possibly the most relevant when it comes to demonstrating the strength of the Targaryens when they are released. It is ideal for gaining an understanding of the basis for the House’s preeminence at the outset of “The House of the Dragon,” which is unparalleled in Westeros and the other families are unwilling to even consider the possibility of confronting them.

One of the episodes that is most remembered from the series, and for two reasons that are connected to ‘The House of the Dragon’, or at the very least, with what is anticipated from it. On the one hand, we require an adversary that is as powerful and absolute as the Night King in order to prevent the situation from deteriorating into nothing more than a simple commotion that takes place in palaces and hallways. On the other hand, following the massive onslaught that Daenarys carried out just a couple of chapters earlier, it relativizes the strength of the dragons, which is something that may also be intriguing to witness in the new series.

As we continue to chain episodes of season seven, we are presented with a revelation that may provide some context to what we see in the prequel. It is revealed that Jon Snow is not the bastard that everyone believed he is; rather, he is a descendant of Rhaegar Targaryen. In addition, the terrible conclusion of his love with Daenarys will be foretold in this episode, which will drive home the point that Targaryens, whether they are official or not, allow themselves to be carried away by their most uncontrolled impulses. There is a possibility that we will see it in the new series, but who knows if we will go to such extremes?

A great deal of attention was paid to the transformation of Daenarys from an antiheroine to a villain that she underwent in the final and hurried bars of the series. The fans who were furious were correct; yet, the Targaryen’s change of attitude has a double meaning because the members of the House have a reputation for being unstable. It is also said that “every time a new Targaryen is born, the gods toss a coin.” This is a common saying about the Citadel. This, without a shadow of a doubt, has a significant bearing on the course of events that are going to take place in “The House of the Dragon.”
