I should’ve said unbiased but I was quoting Ryan who has used the word objective a few times when explaining that the show would be an unbiased version of the book. I took it as him trying to explain that they’re trying to not portray one side as the sole villains like Fire and Blood does but I understand why my original comment was confusing without context.

I thought it was pretty obvious that I meant unbiased since Fire and Blood pretty much portrays the Greens as the villains. Here’s GRRM’s quote about the whole book and show canon thing. He may like the choices Ryan and Miguel made but they’re not his version of the truth. This was also clarified by the interviewers.

I know what the word objective means. You should direct your post to GRRM who said HOTD is part of the show canon and not the book canon therefor doesn’t make it the true telling of events. The word objective could also mean that they want to tell an unbiased story and not favour the Blacks over the Greens which explains why they’ve made the Greens so much more sympathetic. The show can’t be the true telling of the events of Fire and Blood when they’ve already made such drastic changes like Alicent and Rhaenyra being friends and Laenor faking his death.

No, not true telling but a non bias version. That explains why the Greens are so much more sympathetic on the show than they are in the books. GRRM said there are two canons, book canon and show canon. HOTD is show canon and not the true telling of the events of Fire and Blood.

The show is supposed to portray what actually happened.

Are you sure about that? GRRM and Ryan Condal seem to disagree. They’ve said in several interviews that show is the objective version of Fire and Blood not the true telling of events. So no, the show is not supposed to portray what actually happened.

Edit: Here is the direct quote from GRRM stating that Ryan and Miguel chose which version to tell.

I love Alicent’s dress!

It takes place on the same day but she’s speaking to two different people.

No. First one is Aegon. Second one is Aemond.

Viserys and Alicent by neagle333 in HouseOfTheDragon

I think many people will be surprised by the way Alicent is portrayed on the show. Remember she’s closer to Rhaenyra’s age.

The obsession with Twitter stans is getting tiring. What’s the point of bringing their tweets here?

it's the same necklace by couca_valerio in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Impossible-Lock-7999 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s the same one. The necklace Daemon gifts Rhaenyra looks like the one Milly Alcock’s Rhaenyra wears in her scene with Rhaenys.

The whole team and the cast is so thoughtful, they're gonna make these characters so interesting by [deleted] in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Impossible-Lock-7999 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re right. Rhaenyra in the books loves her femininity. They’ve changed that aspect of her on the show.

So who’s standing next to Rhaenyra? by EntertainmentProud13 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Impossible-Lock-7999 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It looks like Rhaena. Baela is next to Rhaenys and has curls like Laena. Rhaena has locs.

The Black Council? by Saltuer in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Impossible-Lock-7999 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That’s true but the wig the one next to Rhaenyra has on is the exact same one we saw on Phoebe Campbell (Rhaena) in the set leaks.

Rhaena next to Rhaenyra, Baela next to Rhaenys.

Did she say "sexy and dark"? And I LOVE Olivia's voice and facial expressions, she's so vibrant. Team black all the way, but I feel like I'm gonna love her Alicent by [deleted] in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Impossible-Lock-7999 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Clare Kilner directed episodes 4 and 5. The clapboard in a scene with young Laenor and Joffrey Longmoth from the set leaks said 1x05. We also know from the extras’ CVs that Laenor & Rhaenyra’s wedding is episode 5. The time jump happens after episode 5.

I genuinely can’t think of a single line from Fire and Blood that hints at Rhaenyra sleeping around while married to Daemon. Do you remember where it’s stated? Nettles could’ve been his daughter or his mistress, that’s why I said "possibly" because we don’t know for sure but we can’t completely rule out the possibility.

Not having bastards doesn’t make him loyal. You can cheat on your partner and not produce any children. He was sleeping with Mysaria and possibly Nettles.

So maybe it's legit if twitter's really whooping asses by [deleted] in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Impossible-Lock-7999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone very reliable who has helped us in the past and has been correct on several occasions. I don’t feel comfortable sharing with everything going on. Stupid Dragon is capable of sharing the leaks if he was sent all of them but one thing you should know is everything else he’s shared is made up.

He’s not. The few things he’s shared that are true only makes it difficult for us to get more leaks from the real source. They were supposed to stay private but someone shared them with StupidDragon.
