What Do Fans Hope To See In House Of The Dragon Season 2?
Fans have thoughts about what they want to happen in House of the Dragon season 2. Redditor @BlackFyre2018 asked what others think will happen at the end of House of The Dragon season 2 and said:
"The final episode will be Rhaenrya taking Kings Landing. Will end on the ominous note of Aegon The Elder being on the loose, Rhaenyra cutting herself on the throne."
Redditor @pc21mario replied, "I feel like it will be a show-original ending with Rhaenya and Daemon at Harrenhall and the start of the Gullet. Would like to see the fall of King's Landing soon though." While Rhaenyra made some poor decisions, she's still a compelling character to follow along with.

Another fan shared that they believe that King's Landing will be a focal point of the end of House of the Dragon season 2. Since King's Landing is the capital of the Seven Kingdoms and Westeros, it's a significant and meaningful setting in Game of Thrones and, of course, still matters in House of the Dragon. The fan wrote in a Reddit thread:
"I definitely think the Blacks taking Kings Landing will be the finale of season 2, ending it on a more hopeful note for them in contrast to how badly season 1 ended for them."
While fans have thought about the plotlines they want in House of the Dragon season 2, they have also discussed what they aren't thrilled about. In a Reddit thread, Redditor @LucyRuscoline shared a sentiment that many fans have:
"I'm worried about cutting Daeron, Nettles and Maelor. Daeron and Maelor have already appeared in the opening title sequence, so it's just confusing not to have them introduced in Season 2, and it doesn't make sense not to have Nettles at the same time the other Dragonseeds are introduced."

As showrunnerRyan Condal told Indiewire in an interview, he felt that this was a good way to begin telling the story. He said:
“It definitely felt like that was the right place to begin the series and then take our time over 10 episodes and set up all of these characters as the chess pieces on the board. The expectation going into the show is that it is going to deliver big escapist fantasy. George’s books take you along in this engrossing romantic tale, but it turns all of the Arthurian or ‘Lord of the Rings’ tropes on their head. The general rule is if we’re going to throw these people into the war and start killing them, we better care about them before.”
Rhaenyra's House of the Dragon season 1 storyline is equally heartbreaking and powerful, and it's clear that she will continue being an impressive character in House of the Dragon season 2. Before new episodes premiere, fans can catch up on House of the Dragon Easter eggs and remember the best dragons in the prequel.
