Last night, House of the Dragon second episode aired and set the scene for the dance of dragons after the premier prologue episode. The first episode got over 20 million views and set the Game of Thrones spinoff series up for a new season by HBO.
We finally have an opening sequence!!!
The second episode titled “The Rogue Prince” takes place six months after Queen Aemma dies and King Viserys Targaryen feels the pressure to find a new wife amidst Lord Corlys Velaryon issues with the Crab Feeder’s pirates at the Stepstones. Rhaenys and Corlys offer up their 12-year-old daughter, Lady Laena to unite the two families and it was a stomach-churning first date.
Viserys chooses Alicent Hightower which makes Corlys run off to Daemon and build up the tension in this Kingdom-wide power struggle.
Here are the best reactions:

Digging that the HOUSE OF THE DRAGON opening credits designers definitely just rewatched the third act of BLADE (1998) (dir. Stephen Norrington)

so i just watched the opening credits for house of the dragon and i really did not like it. the blood thing looks ridiculous and is so corny… and i was so excited to hear the main theme of HOTD only for them to reuse the one from game of thrones pic.twitter.com/EqxmtqHDIi

Why does it feel like they put together the opening credits of House Of The Dragon last week. It's so hasty and weirdly edited. I mean I am glad they took our view into account and brought back the Game Of Thrones opening credits but they better improve it by next episode.

house of the dragon just using the game of thrones theme for the opening credits is pretty fucking lame actually

8 generations separate Rhaenyra Targaryen and Daenerys Targaryen, which makes Rhaenyra the great great great great great great grandmother of Daenerys…

Really brought me back to the peak of GOT when the dialogue was so rich and intriguing. No need for insane battles every episode

didn’t tell Rhaenyra beforehand that he was going to marry Alicent, her best friend. Rejected Corlys in front of everyone. Doesn’t do shit against Daemon. Viserys couldn’t run a Chuck E Cheese properly no wonder that throne is turning him into Swiss cheese #HouseoftheDragon pic.twitter.com/irM3OhI8eW
