I'm team #NoSpoilers. I've just noticed some things already coming up in here so just want to get ahead of it.

People had mad time to discuss the books.
And none of that pretending you came up with a theory stuff after reading the wiki, we already saw it.

What determines which Targ gets a dragon? In the current timeline they said there are 10 dragons, so how does this work? Viserys rode Balerion until it died of old age. So was that it for him? Like oh well that's a wrap? Not to say there should be 1 for every Targ, but I'm just curious about the breeding of the dragons and what the thought process was.

The dragons choose their rider.

It's both. You choose your dragon who has to actively choose you back. Viserys didn't want to ride anyone after Balerion, but Balerion had riders before him and if he outlived him probably would've afterwards.

Yea so....the dragon chooses to accept you or not. The dragon chooses. Some don't wish to be ridden at all.

Never really watched GoT but tuned in for this so I’m not a loser amongst my friends.

Depends on who has riderless dragons or dragon eggs. Depends on if those dragons choose those riders. It should come up in the show later on. Like anything involving the Targaryens, bonding with a dragon is complicated and potentially dangerous. Targs have a supernatural/metaphysical connection to the dragons, similar to the Starks and direwolves.

Obviously it's only been 1 episode, but it doesn't seem like someone has to have a working knowledge of GoT to watch HotD. Actually, just getting a feel for the show, it doesn't seem like it would even help the viewer if they had seen GoT.

There are a lot of GoT Easter Eggs in House of the Dragon that you might not catch. Your friends might expose you. For example, the dagger Viserys keeps on him played a major role in GoT. In the beginning and at the end.

Fair point.
Like what easter eggs, though? I mean I caught all of them, every single one. I just... wanna cross check... see if you also caught them all (no Pokemon).

Show seems to be on pace with the amount of C cups we should anticipate?

One small one is Corlys refusing the drink during the small council meeting. Very reminiscent of Roose refusing a drink in The Red Wedding.

Yo! Was listening to my favorite GoT podcast (Bald Move for those interested in a listen) and they mentioned the Dagger and I had no idea during my first watch

Man ain't nobody checking nobody over no minor *** easter eggs. Unless they're dressed up like Ned Stark during the watch party.
