Trivia
The Iron Throne has been greatly redesigned from Game of Thrones (2011). It is larger and more asymmetrical to more closely match the description in George R.R. Martin's novels, although it is still nowhere near that big: the throne in the books is a 40-foot, immovable, asymmetrical behemoth made from 1000 swords welded together, with the seat 20 feet above the ground, and only accessible by a flight of stairs; the person sitting on it addresses people down below from 40 feet away.

Crazy credits
The first season's title sequence is centered on a model of the Old Valyria citadel, with blood trails running across the land and marked by symbols of the Targeryn family.

Not as good as GoT but still great

Game of Thrones was one of my favorite shows of all-time so I couldn't wait for House of the Dragon. After just finishing it I can tell you it's fantastic! While it's not as good as Game of Thrones it's still very good in its own right. It's already another hit in a long line of them for HBO. I've never read the books to these shows so I had no expectations when it came to that but I wouldn't care if it varied from the source material even if I did. I don't get why so many people care if a movie/show is different from the source material. As long as it's entertaining...who cares? They have to adapt these books for the screen. The first few episodes may start a little slow for some as they build these characters and the world they live in but stick with it because it definitely pays off. This is definitely one of the best new shows of the last few years and I'm looking forward to more seasons in the future.
