Despite the upheaval of game of thrones season 8, Dragon House brought in many old fans, while adding new ones. It stars Milly Alcock as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Paddy Considine as King Viserys Targaryen.

The show has been praised for continuing the legacy of game of thrones while adding new elements. Due to the fact that it’s slated for Aegon’s conquest quite early, we’ve also seen more dragons, and the showrunners have promised that more will join us.
*Spoilers ahead*
What happened in episode 5?
Surprising fans every episode, the last one was no different. We saw Princess Rhaenyra marrying Ser Laenor Velaryon, the son of Lord Corlys Velaryon, finally sealing the bond between the powerful houses.

Even though the marriage was blessed with a brutal murder, fans seem interested in a different incident. Before marriage, Rhaenyra alleged that Laenor was gay but assured her that it was not about her as long as she could also have her own partners.
Did Rhaenyra shoot a Margaery Tyrell?
In the game of thrones, one of the main contenders for the Iron Throne was Renly Baratheon who was married to Margaery despite being gay. Yet Margaery did not protest or speak ill of her sexual orientation and tolerated her relationship with her brother.
The supremacy of Margaery Tyrell.

I think there is a lot to unpack when it comes to the outcome of these decisions…

We also see something similar happen in the new show, as the two powerful queens were married to men who had no sexual interest in them, but accepted their lifestyle and kept the matter private.

Fans also caught up on the similarity and praised Rhaenyra for his decision. But also pointed out how Renly didn’t meet a favorable fate, which probably foreshadows Laenor’s outcome as well.
Dragon House is now streaming on HBO Max.
