Community for fans of the HBO show and Game of Thrones prequel: House of the Dragon.
The show follows George R Martin's "Dance of the Dragons" story, which has been outlined in various books including The World of Ice and Fire, and Fire and Blood. The main plot focuses on a brutal Targaryen civil war, and is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones.
Season 1 of the show started airing in August 2022, and consisted of 10 episodes released weekly.
Season 2 will begin in Summer of 2024, and will consist of 8 episodes. Showrunner Ryan Condal returns for Season 2, after the departing of Miguel Sapochnik.
I assume he survived but is horribly injured. Maybe he is now a cripple? Maybe he is in a coma for several episodes?
I also expect Sunfire is dead, but maybe they are linked and both dying slowly.
Aegon can be king, barely alive, and someone can rule in his name.
Sunfire still seemed to be breathing in the last shot but I suspect the injuries are too great for long term survival. I don't know how any of the other dragons could take on the beast that is Vhagar.
In Ep 5 promo, he is alive but burnt severly and bed ridden.
